Firefox Community Forum

Just recently I changed my privacy settings to take advantage of the privacy opt-out option for websites not to share my data or information. I went to my AMX credit card account and now every time I move to a new page the message, "Your Global Privacy Control opt-out signal has been honored" pops up and gets in the way of the information on the page. I am constantly having to click on the X in the corner to close the message box. Once would be enough for each main website. Having it pop up every time is absolutely annoying. I like having this option but if it's going to make me have to close the informational box every time I move to a new page or back to a former page, then I will have to undo the choice. The web designer who put this message text into the Firefox browser needs to find a way to only have it pop up once if they feel it is really necessary to tell me that they are blocking information from other companies. I really don't even need the first message just as long as it works behind the scenes. I hope someone gets web support to look into this issue. It's just so annoying.

When reading the New York Times, on any page but the first, links do not work.

This problem does not occur in Troubleshooting mode, which I understand means some setting or extension is causing the problem.

How do I find out which setting or extension to change?

I work out of LinkedIn. Just recently, I have trouble opening About sections on LinkedIn. I have both firefox and safari on my macbook pro laptop. I can have both applications open on my computer in different windows and use this constantly when working. I mainly use firefox if I only use one of the applications. Not being able to access these same sections is making it difficult. LinkedIn says I need to clear out my cache and whatever. I am not sure how to do this and there may be other things that need to be done. Can you help?

normally i just click the forefox icon on my taskbar and type claude.ai in the address field but today i was messaged that the claude program needed a mozila account - so I had to set one up. why and still cannot get to Claude

For about two weeks, most of the pages/websites that I use that require logins/passwords will not load (or take an extremely long time to load--like an hour or more). Gmail and sports stats app are okay...banking, credit cards, social media, online shopping are NOT. Websites that do NOT require a login (local news, The Weather Channel, my city website) have no trouble loading at all.

I have made no changes to my computer since about February. I'm running Windows 11 (up-to-date), and Firefox says that it is also up-to-date.

I am only experiencing this problem on my desktop (but that is my device of choice) and not on my laptops or smartphone.

The AI Chatbot bar is seriously useful, I tip my hat to whoever implemented this gem. However, Whenever the sidebar is not wide enough, the chatbot appears to think it's rendering on a mobile device, so the "return" key simply inserts a newline instead of sending the message. I _imagine_ this must be related to the website, but i'm wondering if there are any workarounds? just being able to hit enter in the AI chatbot sidebar instead of click the send button would improve my workflow immensely

Recently I have been unable to go to websites where I have had accounts for years. I can no longer access sites like Chewy, Etsy, and even Pinterst. On the latest failure to sign in to Etsy the message I got is "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker" I don't want to learn another browser. Please understand I'm a senior so not as savy as you young folks. My Firefox browser is 140.0 so it is up to date

Hi, first problem w/ Firefox I believe. youtube player is blacked out on embedded media and white screen on the youtube site.

Youtube plays on Edge and troubleshoot mode fixes Firefox. Is there any quick way to narrow down the offending extension(s)?

Thanks, mike

I am unable to login to my Google Accounts on Firefox on Desktop from version 136.0.2 and up. Everytime I open the sign-in page for Google, the page automatically closes before I can type in my information. I followed the advice from this Support page with no success: "Unable to log into Google accounts from Firefox", https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1468020#:~:text=We%20have%20resolved%20an%20issue%20with%20Google%20auth,settings%20that%20does%20not%20require%20a%20Firefox%20upgrade.

I am able to log into my Google accounts in other browsers so I think the issue is localized to Firefox. I did notice that the web URL for the Google Accounts webpage changes each time I attempt to log in. I included two URLs for reference.

Thank you for the assistance

Does YouTube not load for someone else as well? I just get an errors related with connection, tried both usual reload and forced reload. I get two different messages, deleted all the extensions that might block the website. Contacted the google support, they did not help, just said that problem might be in the Firefox itself. It works on other browsers though. Also tried it in a private browser, but to no avail.

All of a sudden for the past few weeks or so, I keep getting the message in the attached screenshot when entering words in the search bar and clicking on Google. This never happened before in all the years I've been doing this, so what's up with it and can it be fixed? Thanks.

I chose passwords and sign in, but there's more. You are already aware of the Facebook issues but there are others issues with this and I personally don't have time to tell you how to do your job. I have to keep up my production to keep my job. Your browser really cost me labor time. So, I would like to know do you recommend going back to a previous version until you fix this mess? OR... what ohter browser would you recommend as your replacement?

I appreciate your time, and I look forward to your answer.

Thank you R
