Firefox Community Forum

Every other day or so VPN attempts to connect to my chosen location and just freezes. Cannot connect, tries to verify connection, and then just hangs. I can't close it, even with Task Manager. I have to reboot my computer (win 10) and that takes 4 minutes and 40 seconds - I timed it. It makes me not want to use the VPN. I have tried asking VPN for recommended sites and even after trying them it still won't connect.

Very Frustrating. Not worth paying for if I can't connect.

Thanks . . . Alan

Also frustrating that I cannot contact support directly but must use this forum. The "make contact " box in the app will not work either.

The comment sections for foxnews.com and other sites disappeared using Firefox but not when I switched to Chrome. This just happened 6-18-25. Before this date, it worked on Firefox.

I have sound in Windows, but YouTube is dead quit. I have tried all that is suggested in Firefox help and some YouTube sites. Nothing worked. I have tried off the computer and restarted, but no change. My system is Windows 11, sound works, and the latest Firefox update installed. Question is this a YouTube tacit to stop NoScript and uBlock?

Very annoying to deprive me of my preferred news source. Firefox refuses to load any link on Netflix

How do I fix spotify images being grey? when I'm not logged in I can see he images of albums but whenever I log in they turn grey and I can't see the album/song image. Is there any way to fix this? I added a image for some context if that helps :) it's how the greyed out songs look.

Since the last update, 133 at least I believe that is the last update, I CANNOT LOG INTO Firefox for my PC. I have always used Firefox as my Primary Account therefore, once I have logged into Firefox I then log into my other programs such as Outlook.Live.com. Yes, I know that is a MS program. When I say I cannot log into Firefox.com this is what I mean. I click on the Firefox ICON in my task tray and Firefox appears only because I am NOT logged into Firefox. Then I am asked to Download Firefox for my PC. Of course, I know it is already downloaded and depending on the day I will receive a message saying Firefox is already downloaded or it may download it again. No matter my decision, I rarely have an opportunity to log in, unless I use a round-about way of going through Microsoft. Most of the time the application menu does not appear and when it does appear, and if Firefox allows me to use my credentials to log in, then I wait and wait and wait and the only thing that happens is NOTHING. I'm left staring at a blank screen. Since I've always used Firefox as my PRIMARY, after logging into it I then log in or open other programs I use such as Outlook.Live.com (yes, I know that is a MS program). After years of using Firefox I have never had to look at a blank screen and when I'm lucky enough to see the log in, I attempt to log into Outlook. But, I haven't seen Outlook in weeks. I have to use a round-about way of logging into Microsoft to log into Outlook, sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't work. It's as though Microsoft and Firefox have found a way to merge their programming. As you may imagine it takes me over an hour to use the programs I need. 'AND, here is the icing on the cake. Mozilla Firefox no longer monitors Trend Micro Security which I have used at least 15 years. At one time, Firefox did monitor TM as an add-on but no longer, and when I checked to see the latest update you were showing, it is obvious you are not keeping up with TM's many updates. I have received some very strange messages from websites I previously log into on a daily basis, such as Grammarly and Pocket and have been redirected to a Microsoft page indicating I owe money, which I DON'T so that was another waste of my time clearing that up. Now, I have gone days without logging into my PC out of sheer frustration. I don't know what else to do and now I'm not protected with a Security Program although I do update and run it everyday. Yes, I am aware of Microsoft's firewall but I'm not sure how well that is working since my PC is now out-of-date. I suppose I could start a Go Fund Me page to earn enough money to buy a new computer...lol I desperately need help. BUT, I CANNOT understand your computer talk, I need things explained to me in everyday language. I hope this makes some sense. Rhonda Caywood

When I try to access a movie or get further info by clicking the movie's pic, I get this message, despite deleting my cache and cookies, closing and opening Firefox, shutting and opening my MacBook. Any suggestions most appreciated!

That shouldn't have happened.

It looks like something went wrong on our side. Let's find you a great video to watch instead.

Although I have successfully logged in many times, I get an error message today: An error occurred during a connection to b2clogin.firstenergycorp.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

I asked this a year ago and never saw a solution (other than 'gee, it should work yet'.) I use the local Windows Hosts file to give my router a quick reference name to get into it. That too has worked for years but began to fail last year. Inconvenient. The best I could track this down, it has something to do with forced DNS lookups and skipping the old Hosts file. If so, any work around to get my system simplicity back? Attached is what I see on each attempt.

I tried various settings for DOH and nothing works. I can reference the Hosts file in a Windows Cmd Prompt and it resolves just fine. Something is screwy in Firefox for some time now and I'd like to know what.

Since recently 1~2 version, my Firefox keeps consume large amount of memory and release it repeatedly

Even I restart Firefox and do nothing, it will start doing this again

I use about:processes and about:memory to capture this seems the main process's "tab.query" causing this, please check

PS: sometime it will consume till system max (64GB) and cause my OS out of memory. PS2: that wave-like memory usage is cause by Firefox

My very favorite browser will not open when I click the FF icon. I did another download and it will not open, as well. What can you tell me about this issue and how to fix it? An avid user for many years.

Hi for some time now i have been having issues connecting to my website.. it loads every other site but when i try and load mine on firefox it comes up with no internet connection but my site works on other browsers.. anyone have any ideas on a fix for this ?

I am experiencing significant performance problems in Mozilla Firefox when using certain AI-powered tools. Below are the specific issues:

   Flux AI & Diagramming AI Performance Warnings

       Issue: When accessing Flux AI or Diagramming AI tools, Firefox displays a warning message stating, "This site is slowing down Firefox."

       Observed Behavior:

           Delayed response times or freezing when interacting with these tools.

           High CPU usage (observed via Task Manager) when the tools are active.

       Expected Behavior: Smooth operation without performance degradation, as seen in other browsers (e.g., Chrome or Edge).

   CMS Sign-Out Failure

       Issue: Unable to sign out of my Content Management System (CMS). The action either freezes or refreshes without logging me out.

       Troubleshooting Attempted: Cleared cache/cookies, disabled extensions, tested in Safe Mode—issue persists.

   ChatGPT Menu Error

       Issue: Clicking the three-dots (⋮) menu in ChatGPT triggers an error instead of displaying options.

       Error Context: Mentions "Flux AI," suggesting a possible conflict or integration failure.
