For the past two days I haven't been able to get past the recaptcha on several sites (Facebook, Instagram). I have tried all the workarounds other users have provided and what Google has offerd to no avail. I'm also having a difficult time accessing my hotmail acct from Firefox as well. I don't seem to have this issue with either of these problems if I move to a different browser. Firefox has always been my main (and only) browser, yet more and more often I seem to have issues anymore. What the F is going on? Would appreciate any help I can get. Again, I've tried removing Ad Blockers from these sites and even turned off the 'Enhanced Tracking' thing on the address bar; none of this works.

I received the following error when attempting to access www.choicehotels.com:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.choicehotels.com/" on this server. Reference #18.71cfdb17.1777217251.b86336d7 https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.71cfdb17.1777217251.b86336d7

The same thing happened to me when I attempted to login to the Marriott website a few days ago. Initially, I thought it was Marriott's server that was the problem but since the problem has appeared on two different hotel chains, I suspected the problem was with Firefox's servers. So, to check, I launched the Google Chrome search engine and made the same exact search and the problem away. My search was successful.

Can you please help me so that I don't continue getting these errors? If you are unable to help, I will be forced to remove Firefox from my desktop computer because I need to be able to make hotel reservations without encountering this type of problem.

My computer is an older Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

Thank you.

High GPU usage on Google Search AI Overviews - Firefox 149.0.2 (macOS) - Chrome is fine

Hello,

I am reporting a performance issue specifically related to Google Search's AI features (AI Overviews) in Firefox 149.0.2 on macOS.

The Issue: When an AI-generated summary appears in Google Search results, GPU usage spikes significantly, reaching up to 212%. This causes the laptop to overheat and triggers high fan speeds.

Critical Comparison:

Firefox 149.0.2: Extreme GPU load and performance degradation when rendering Google AI elements.

Google Chrome 147.0.7727.56: Works perfectly with normal GPU usage under the same conditions.

Tested on two different MacBooks: MacBook Pro (A1502), 16GB RAM, i7 (2015) — OS: macOS Monterey. MacBook Pro (MMQX3), 64GB RAM, M1 Max (2021) — OS: macOS Sequoia (15.x/Tahoe).

I use Firefox as my default browser. This week, I noticed that I no longer have the option to copy text from my email unless I open it in a separate window and pop it out. This has greatly reduced my ability to work since I have to copy and paste text from emails numerous times per day. I have experimented on other browsers and I am still able to do it when I use Chrome and Microsoft Edge. How can I fix this so I don't have to stop using Firefox?

the home page for AOL has an image of a current event or news worthy item, until yesterday there has always been a description or statement explaining the image to the left, that screen is now blank. I had my computer security team check my unit and they say the problem is with Firefox and I should use a different browser.Also under the new email tab there was an old mail tab, that is also gone as of yesterday. Are these problems in fact a Firefox issue?

Today following a brief power outage I was no longer able to sign in to AOL with Firefox on my desktop computer. I am able to sign in to all other apps with no problem. I tried clearing my cache, restarted Firefox, restarted my computer and spent 30 minutes on remote desktop access assistance with AOL trying to fix the problem with no success. I can log in to my account using Chrome on the desktop computer and can log in with no problem using my Android phone but can't log in using my desktop computer with Firefox. I've verified that my Firefox version is updated. I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I would greatly appreciate any helpful advice.

Gmail will suddenly not open in Firefox with error saying there's a problem with my cookie settings--i did not change settings and cannot find any way to fix this. See attached image. I follow link in error message for "browser specific instructions" to fix it but there are no instructions.

Gmail opens in Edge and Chrome. I've spent some real time on this, cleared system memory, checked cookie settings wherever i can find them. Searched for tips online. Did Google do this on it's own to force me to use their browser? Wouldn't surprise me.

Moved from Windows to Mac and now facing this issue, so it seems to be a Firefox + Mac OS compatibility issue.

Have turned on screen recording permissions in Mac settings and some other accessibility permissions that have been suggested and nothing helps.

Will need to use a different browser just to screen share.

I've used Firefox for 10-15 years but recently it started not opening some web pages on corporate websites, which I assumed was a problem with the site. When I told my techs, they tried the sites from other browsers they use and it was working fine. So I tried from my laptop (it's 4 months old, Windows 11) using MS Edge and no problem, previously blocked sites now working. I've scanned Firefox settings but can't resolve. Any suggestions?
