Firefox Community Forum

Problems have arisen since upgrade to version 145:

1. There are massive accesses of the hard drive.

2. The email system for charter.net is putting out sporadic errors "Something didn't work quite right. Please try again."

I know the problem is with Firefox because when I do the same thing using Google Chrome there are no issues.

These 2 web sites worked fine last night.

Today ebay.com connects, but picutres on the site are blank spaces.

Gunbroker.com won't connect, it just sputters and sputters.

I entered these 2 sites on Chrome, they came up correctly. Gunbroker.com connected. Ebay came up with all the pictures on the site populated.

I'm not sure why, but starting a couple of days ago Firefox will not load a couple (there may be others) of my regularly used sites - the page just 'hangs' or only partially loads:

facebook.com theguardian.com

These are on my Windows 11 PC which I use 95% of the time. They load fine on my Windows 10 laptop which has the identical Firefox settings (they are Synced) with the same Extensions.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox on my PC to see if this helps, but the issue remains.

The websites load fine using Chrome on my PC.

Can anyone offer any thoughts as to why this is happeneing and offer any solutions?

For the past few days to a week Firefox has failed to load some websites such as Amazon or Login.gov. I tried accessing the same sites using Edge and it worked fine. So it is not a problem with the sites. I do not believe I have changed my settings, although there is a new version of AdGuard which may have something to do with it. I believe the problem started with the update of Firefox on Nov 18, however. I am using Duck Duck Go, but have the same problem using Google as my default search engine. I do notice that I have a message in settings saying my browser is being managed by my organization and showing this : ImportEnterpriseRoots. I am an individual user, so am not sure what that means or if it is related. In any case, I need help figuring out how to fix this. I do not want to use Edge but may have to if I cannot get this fixed.

I am having trouble accessing The Washington Times with Firefox. Every time I click on a story, it comes up, but then immediately the screen shades out to a gray screen, and nothing works. Also, if I open The Times website and click on sign-in for my account, nothing happens. If I go directly to the Times website and try ti sign in, the screen greys out again. This just started happening yesterday. If I go to a laptop with an earlier version of Firefox on it, all works just fine. Also, if I access the Washington Times with Microsoft Edge, it works just fine. Would appreciate it if I could get some help here.

I have performed every suggested check that comes up when I put this question to the big wide web,but cannot find the solution. Castanet.net will load, but not open any secondary sites on windows 11,but it will on Chrome on my PC. My laptop with windows 10 has no issue. This has been going on for months and I am ready to just "fire" firefox for good.

I've been using Firefox for maybe 20 years but the upgrade to 145 has completely floored me. I run Windows 11 and up to now I've had no problems with Firefox on it.

Alas, since the 145 upgrade I've found that any site that involves static or video imagery that it simply won't load the graphics. It just indicates it is trying to load it indefinitely. If it ever completes, it does so with multiple errors. Experience suggests that it is primarily but not exclusively a graphics problem. Some text sites won't load either.

I've tried troubleshooting, refreshing and even doing a fresh install with a new profile but none of this makes any difference. As a result, after those 20 years I've had to give up on Firefox altogether.

I've no faith that there will ever be a fix that allows me to go back to Firefox. This is sad because I'm used to Firefox and the user UI suits my preferences and experience. Alas, no more. It has simply become unusable for me.

One page of my online scheduling software often doesn't load all the way. It's a list of clients, not super-long. It often only loads the first 10-15 names (out of about 80). Eventually this pop-up appears: "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page."

I'm on a Windows 10 desktop with PLENTY of speed/memory. That's not the issue, unless Firefox isn't using the computer optimally.

I've been having tons of issues with Firefox so a few days ago I did a "Refresh." This helped, but obviously didn't fix this particular issue.

Recently several sites, including Zoom.us and Genesis.com, no longer work in Firefox on my PC running Windows 11. For example, when I log into Zoom spinning wheel indicating the system is working keeps spinning and never lets me enter my password. Yet if I use Edge everything works as it should. I really want to be able to keep using Firefox as my default browser.

Whenever I try to purchase anything from the Mozilla merchandise store, the checkout does not load at all, no matter what device, OS, or browser I am using. This does not happen in any other store ran by Spreadshop, and I've asked some friends and they've had the same issues as well.

Any help as to how I could access the checkout, or any other way of buying these products would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

On some websites (e.g. archlinux.org) most numbers are not rendered. See attached screenshots showing the same page on Firefox and on Konqueror.

In my font settings, I do allow pages to change fonts. Some pages (e.g. this one) do change the fonts and appear well. However, if I disable the feature, then they also break.

I'm using: firefox 145.0.2 (64-bit) archlinux plasma-desktop 6.5.3 wayland 1.24.0

Any idea?

Since v.145, comments have been blocked on some forums for me. https://thetyee.ca is one I use regularly, and the comments are blocked. (This is a Coral Comment site.) The spinning wheel just spins (see image 2 below) and sometimes resolves as "blocked" (see image 1 below).

On rare occasions if I delete all cookies, restart the PC and the browser in a private window only, I can sometimes get comments to come up with a "login page" that successfully lets me login, and keeps the link open for a few pages for that session only, but when I open a new session, comments are blocked again. They just don't appear. when I am successful, it looks like image 3 below.

I never adjust settings, and only occasionally delete cookies, so I've looked into other help articles in the forum that have pointed out enhanced tracker protection might be a problem: I have whitelisted all the sites I use for ETP but only one or two now sometimes work properly (using disqus) while the others do not. Tyee support is unable to help - they say very few have made any complaints.

There are other sites that limit my access or functionality now because they say "You have an ad blocker installed". I don't have an adblocker installed. I've never installed an adblocker. But that's secondary. Perhaps if we get this issue solved (due to a setting?), that second issue will go away too. Or maybe not.

I see it's simply not possible to get rid of ETP. Do I have to get rid of Firefox?

For some months now, LinkedIn does not load 90% of the time. It just 'hangs'. It's the only website that this problem happens. So I switch to another browser to access LinkedIn now, which is my most used site.

Website: https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/view-item?i=119810&WINID=1764158938344 (for example) On Safari I see there is a message overlay from the website saying "press the command key to zoom the image". On Firefox, this message is not displayed, and the website is greyed out.

I have looked at all my settings: I can't see anything wrong. Any ideas?

Firefox stopped loading yahoo and aol. It keeps telling me that it might be because Im not accepting cookies but I turned it on. Im able to load the pages through Google and Duck Go. I'm getting ready to delete Firefox if I can't get it working, which would be a shame.
