Firefox Support Forum

Adblock is unable to deactivate thumbnails appearing towards the end of a Youtube video! I've restarted FF but result is the same.

What is wrong? Any other alternatives?

I am running Windows 10 Enterprise Edition 21H2 (Build 19044.1889). When I use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection and Firefox is currently running, version 103.0.2 (64-bit), Firefox freezes. None of the tabs respond. Other apps are working fine, except for Firefox. There are no crash reports to post here. Appreciate any advice to eliminate this issue.

It seems Mozilla now things that forcing me to click through a "welcome tips wizard" dialog box is a good idea. Since I work in IT, I'm using browsers across dozens of endpoints in dozens of environments every day. To open Firefox and have to click Skip over and over and over because the wizard won't let me just skip the whole thing on one fell swoop, is a recipe for fatigue! I don't care about changing color schemes or signing into an account etc etc. I just care about using the browser to go where I need to go. Yet not even Escape works to get out of the captive experience. Please stop following in the footsteps of Microsoft who thinks they have a right to force every user into an experience. Please stop being like other apps that introduce new features and feel they have a right to force users to "see" them via UI popups that are in your face until you either click through them or click skip for every single one. If you really think I should care about these features, at least allow me to skip the whole process whenever I wish. Don't make me click Skip over and over and over. Maybe one day I will read about these new features that Mozilla things are so important, but even then I'll read it once on my own computer probably and then still be "forced" into this unpleasant experience on every other endpoint I remote onto for weeks and months into the future. Thanks a lot.

As of this morning, for some reason, certain websites present, random garbled text where normal text should be. This occurs on some sites and not on others. My second computer, running an earlier Mac OS, is working just fine, and other browsers don't have this problem.

Hoping someone can help. A screenshot from Wikipedia is attached.

No Video with Supported format and MIME type found is not allowing me to play videos on website.

No idea what's the cause of it, I've tried everything from internet tips how to solve this.

Hello, on my project we have a requirement to support a specific version of Firefox, which is 45.0.2. I downloaded it from ftp.mozilla.org, but when I'm launching browser, it just displays an invisible window with shadow border (see screenshot below).

My device: MacBook Pro 14 2021 M1 Pro, OS X Ventura (13.0.1)

I guess it has something to do with an M1 chip, but is there any way to fix it?

I can't open amazon.com. I've disabled my antivirus and have tried in 'troubleshoot' mode. I have cleared my cache. I have flushed my DNS. It's been going on for days. I keep timing out. Other sites do not exhibit problems. Chrome DOES open amazon.com quickly.

One of my favorite web sites is www.cam4.com. It is an adult live streaming web site. My computer freezes when I'm watching one of the "performers". I refresh the page all is OK for min. or so.

When I use MS Edge I don't get the freezing. Firefox is my default browser for more years than I can count. What is going on? Is there a fix?

Since the most current Firefox update in June 2022, when in Yahoo Mail and downloading an attachment, as the download complete, the Yahoo Mail tab is automatically closing, requiring I to go to 'History', then 'Recently Closed' tabs to re-open it. This happens Every.Single.Time I download photos and scanned docs from email. Again, this has never happened before - only with the recent Firefox update. I have 2021 a MacBook Pro.

Beginning about a month ago, I started noticing that Firefox was causing disk utilization on my Windows 10 Pro PC to go up to 100 % disk utilization and stay there for 2 or 3 minutes. My PC was timing out on other applications. Eventually it would return to normal levels but as I'd continue to use it and open additional tabs and windows of Firefox, the problem would repeat and get worse.

As time went on, I started getting to periods where the PC would become completely unresponsive and the disk utilization would to to 100% and stay there for 10+ minutes. I'd be forced to do a shutdown/restart but that might take as long as 15 minutes to shutdown.

Firefox (64 bit) v107.0 is what's currently installed on my system. My PC is a Dell Precision desktop with 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB WD Blue SSD for the C: drive.

I did try the Firefox refresh but that had no effect.

I started using Chrome and do not have any disk usage issues with it. I've also used MS Edge as well and disk utilization stays at normal levels, even with 10 or more tabs or windows open simultaneously.

I searched online and have seen complaints about Firefox causing this problem but all those are from 3+ years ago. Nothing recent. One fix suggested uninstalling the 64 bit version and going with the 32 bit.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

LastPass doesn't load the Duo prompt in 107.0. It worked in 106.0.5 but broke with the new version. Disabling Duo allowed for login to occur but re-enabling broke it again. LP confirmed this isn't an issue with their extension.

I tried FF 107 on a virtual win 7 64 bit with 4 GB RAM. very slow. The URL hangs for ages before page is displayed. The previous FF was OK and chrome runs OK. I am testing it before i put on 'real' computer

Yesterday had no issues accessing https://ebay.com. Shutdown overnight. This morning get the error message "Please contact your administrator with the error code: 0.3b2c2d17.1669662371.5cf7b1c1" There is no administrator as this is a Windows 10 home computer. I have cleared the browser of any entry "ebay" but it did nothing to return connections. No other url seems to be effected. Used EDGE and connected without issue. Also used a tablet and had n issue. Any suggestion to resolve the issue would be appreciated.

HI,

About once a week typing away I get FF developer mode. I know F12 toggles it off and on, but I am no where near that, there must be a combination of keys that launches it. Any advice? Its just a pain not worth turning if off for good.

Firefox not loading and missing VCRUNTIME140_1.dll preventing re-installation. Full message is: 'The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.' Tried to install an old version of Firefox (28.0) but this is not upgradeable.

Twitter Video Streaming in Firefox on an older computer (Windows 7) does not work. The videos don't play (just audio). I logged into my same Twitter account on Chrome on the same computer and Twitter video streaming worked perfectly. Please fix the disparity.

Hi there! Been using Firefox for more than 10 years and yesterday it started to work very slowly. I tried refreshing and restarting the computer but the problem persisted. I look at task manager and it was using 90% of my computer's memory. Naturally I looked online and tried using Firefox in Troubleshoot mode. This resolved the issue so I refreshed Firefox and disabled every add-on only to find that the problem was still there. It seems that some tabs are using too much memory almost instantly. For example, I had gmail open and it used 2gb in 1 minute.

I'm attaching some screenshots and files that may work. Would love to know how to resolve this!

outlook.live.com crashes in Firefox. Crashes in troubleshooting mode.
