If uploading a .gpx file (list of GPS track points - in XML format), FF will open a tab then another etc quite quickly. It also creates a 0 byte file in the downloads directory. This happens eg if using the Google maps to gpx converter (https://mapstogpx.com/).

If FF is closed down, on restarting it just continues - infinite loop.

The way to stop is invoke FF by clicking a saved link or from command line with a url as argument. This stops the loading of the gpx as your chosen page is loaded instead. You can then hover over the existing GPX tabs and select remove duplicate tabs.

The issue is I do not have "Pictures" highlighted under the "Insert" menu. However, I do have "Attach file" which I did but once attached to the email I cannot drag the picture into the text and scale it as in the past.

When I try to insert/drag the picture into the text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: Filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears at the very top of the display.

"Link", "Pictures", "Emoji", and "Table" are all not hi-lighted. Do not know why???

Says Firefox is up to date!

I have tried to resolve this issue recently with no results.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Last night, I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it again this morning. I have sync on with my account, but my pinned tabs are COMPLETELY missing all together and a few settings I had were undone for some reason. I feel absolutely sick right now because I thought everything was supposed to come back once I signed into my account, but it didn't. Syncing pinned tabs was not a listed option in Sync, so I assumed it was just an automatic thing it would do either way. Absolutely any help at all on any level would be so deeply appreciated. I just want my stuff back. Thank you so much in advance.

I have tried to up date the firefox program as requested. When I go hit the "update now" button, I get a screen and when I try to save it says " firefox installer already exists" and it takes me back to the first page with a message in a box at the top of the page that says Your download should begin automatically. Didn’t work? Try downloading again."

I have tried several times but I find that I'm stuck in a stupid loop where nothing gets installed. The message is that I have till March 14, so this needs to be done soon.

I am not particularly computer savvy, so any clarity on this will be helpful.

every since I swapped to firefox it keeps logging me out of every website. It happens roughly every 7 days and I double checked every privacy setting that has something to do with deleting data uppon closing, deleting cookies in general and so on... It only happens on my PC (Windows 24H2, Build: 26100.2605), not on my laptop (also windows 24H2, idk what exact build).

I also found that firefox doesn't delete the cookies (it still says 200+ mb in the settings). I also tried deleting the cookies (it said 0 bytes in the settings after that) and I will see in ~7 days if that had some effect. That can be seen in the pictures (those are in german).

if anyone has a fix or if this is a straight up bug, let me know! (I won't reinstall firefox just now, because I wanna test a few things before)

I have lately found two sites where I cannot log in using Firefox but can, using another browser (Chrome). I get variations of an error message saying a technical problem has been encountered and try again later. I have tried clearing cache and cookies but it doesn't help. I am using version 134.0 (64-bit) running under Windows 11, version 24H2. Has anyone else had this problem? I want to keep using Firefox but this is getting inconvenient.

This issue appeared fairly recently. When I open a downloaded picture from Firefox's downloads menu, it opens under Firefox window. So it's like the browser is in "always on top" mode when it happens. It's inconsistent and doesn't happen all the time, but I can't notice any pattern. Tested it in another browser and tried changing default image viewing software to make sure that the problem is with Firefox. It persists in troubleshooting mode as well.

Video Flickering and Lag in Firefox

Hi everyone,

About a month ago, I began experiencing issues with video playback. When I visit websites with videos (such as YouTube, news sites, etc), the videos often start flickering, as shown in the screenshot. This flickering is accompanied by significant lag, which only stops if I scroll away from the video or navigate off the page.

I’ve noticed that disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox fixes the flickering issue, but it introduces bad screen tearing, which is also annoying. I’d prefer to keep hardware acceleration enabled to avoid tearing, but the flickering and lag make it unusable in its current state.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, are there any known fixes or settings I can adjust to resolve the flickering while keeping hardware acceleration enabled?

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Updated Firefox to the latest version.

Updated my graphics drivers.

Cleared cache and cookies.

Metamask extension is not properly loading- opening the extension that should lead to the PW/login screen only shows a loading/spinning wheel with the MM-Fox logo. Any idea why this might be happening and any solutions would be immensely appreciated. Using the latest version. have tried toggling ext on/off, and other simple troubleshoot. For context. there is not the same issue on other browsers, even on Firefox on other PC. Could this be related to a PC component? Have experienced frequent tab crashes lately after upgrading my CPU- garbage 14th gen intel that's crashed a few times. what PC settings could be playing a role? BIOS settings default- no overclock or other mod. I have (2) firefox's on my pc- one downloaded from Mozilla, and the other from MSFT app store. MSFT app has no issues and functions fine. Appreciate any help. Happy New Year

Hello! I'm connect my HUAWEI FreeBuds 5i to macbook. Listen some music, watch video on web without problem. When I put the headphones in the case, I realized that music or video with sound doesn't play until I take them out and put them in my ears. Music and videos automatically stop playing. Video without sound is played normally. At the same time in Safari everything plays normally. Function "Forget device" didn't work for me.

How can this be fixed?
