HI FIREFOX! Many websites are not readable. I can see these correctly in Safari. I tried getting the latest Firefox updates. It did not fix the issues. Bizarrely, I can paste into another application and read the gobblity gook. So I think it is just a font issue. I really do not want to go back to Safari. Poshmark and Fedex are the two websites I experienced issues with today. Fedex would not interact properly with Firefox but I could find my tracking information on Safari. I have had the problem previously but did not have time to look into it that day. 16" Macbook Max M1 running Monterey

Other than the most used sites, maybe five, firefox will not follow search for any new site, occasionally after three or so attempts. I have checked my security settings but i still feel like that is what is causing the issue.

In about:config I have set "geo.enabled" to false. -> www.google.com still displays the content in my language, darn.

I went went back to about:config and marked "only show modified preferences" -> to my surprise not only "geo.enabled 1" was displayed but also "permissions.default.geo 2" (though I never touched that one - so I thought they must be linked somehow)

I was curious and reverted "permissions.default.geo" back to default -> now it is set to "0" -> but "geo.enable" is still on "false" (so I am not sure anymore if they are really linked together - which doesnt make sense to me)

Now I don't know if I should leave "permissions.default.geo" on "2" how I found it, or on "0" which is the default. That's why I come here to ask:

==> What are the three states of "permissions.default.geo [0/1/2]" doing and how is it interacting with "geo.enable"?

Firefox was working like a charm on my MacBook Pro '16 19 with Venture 13.0 macOS, without any issues. But somehow, after I did upgrade to Venture 13.2.1, Firefox started random hangs/freezes after each 30-60sec. And it takes ~5-10sec. I started to get random panics 2-3 per day.

I did not changed anything in the settings. This also happens in Private Window mode. I usually restart the computer everyday. (Eventually a new Firefox instance each new day, before Ventura 13.0 and still do after upgrade)

I have read the followings:

But didn't help me. I have everything (tabs, favs, extensions, works, etc.) so that I do NOT want to reset/refresh ANYthing. I'd prefer to fix the root cause and understand the issue why it keeps occur.

I either change my main Firefox browser (after 8+ years) or look for a solution to fix the root cause without doing any refresh or reset (or something that cause data lost).

Is this a known issue?

Could you please help me on this? Thanks!

My Environment:

  • Firefox 110.0
  • macOS 13.2.1

Also, in the Troubleshooting Information section below, browser somehow couldn't collect to data and showed a "manual way documentation" button. I clicked it and it redirected me a doc. When I back to previous page, I lost the data I've just written here. So had to rewrite everything... Can you please fix this?

I know I'm late to the party...just had a Windows 11 reset...ugh. No matter. What does tweak me is that shortcut that is a nasty box. And tiny. I've searched, but can't find a good solution...all I want...is the previous, very hip, Firefox icon. IS THERE A UPDATE OR HACK FOR THIS? Really, if the nice friends at Mozilla are watching, gang, please, next update...give us back the previous shortcut logo. At least a choice? Thanks!

Since 111 update I cannot reliably load the following websites Skynews.com - loads but when i click on an article on the home page the scroll bar disappears and firefox locks up. I have to use task manager where an extra 6-8 firefox sessions appear with 0% resource useage and I have to close them. thsi happens about 80% of the time. ITVnews.com - same as for sky news Netflix - opens ok but locks up when I click on the acount tile. Happens about 50% of the time

All the above sites woerk fine in Google chrome. There was no problem until 111. There was an update to 111 a few days later which meant it happened less often but stil 70%+ of the time. No toher websites i use have been affected. using windows pro 10.0.19044 build 19044.

I have tried refresh firefox, uninstall and re-install but stays the same

Firefox said I can edit PDFs now when I updated the browser, but all I get are annotation options. Is that really it? Annotation only (you know, like writing the the margins of a book)? Or can we actually edit (like, changing the text in a book), and if so, where are the tools?

I watch a live stream from back in the UK from talkSPORT daily. Lately I noticed that my video rate was too low and the play back was skipping and stopping. I run a 64gb Nvidia graphic card so it cant be that.

I normally run firefox and it's always the latest release. Today I tried it out on Chore and I had zero issues withe playback.

I can only come to the conclusion that firefox has cocked summat up. This is only been happening for the past past month or two.

I don't know if it's anything to due with Nvidia software or not but it needs to be sorted out. I've been using firefox since it started. I'm used to the ecosystem. I don't want to have to adjust to chrome.

Hi, I have been working on a old project for one of my clients and found an issue. The firefox version i am using is 95.0.1 64bit version. After signing in, inside response headers from the server i am getting

set-cookie MYSESSION=eyJ***** HttpOnly

which is then used on next request i make to the server as Cookie MYSESSION=eyJhb***

But after upgrading my firefox version, although i am able to see the response header sent back from server, but it is not being sent in request header for the next api call.

Also this issue is only for localhost, works fine in production https urls

I would like to know what has changed in new version in terms of handling the response headers, thanks!

We have an intranet site that works fine in Chrome and Edge, but does not load at all in Firefox. In Firefox, an authentication dialog appears, but after entering correct credentials, it just re-shows the same authentication dialog after a few seconds. This repeats indefinitely. There is no useful info (and pretty much no info of any kind) in the dev tools. I have tried Firefox in safe mode, with no changes to the behavior.

What steps can I try to debug this problem?

I found that when starting Firefox on my school's WiFi, it starts up very slowly. Using `strace`, I found that it was taking it's sweet time making a DNS request to try to resolve my computer's `/etc/hostname`. After searching the Firefox source code with https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/, I found that the only occurrence of `/etc/hostname` was in [SandboxTestingChildTests.h](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/security/sandbox/common/test/SandboxTestingChildTests.h). So I was wondering if it's possible to disable these tests when Firefox starts up.
