Online purchases only work on about 50% of the websites I buy on. The most recent one was buying a gift card from Whole Foods. This is becoming so ANNOYING; before I finally switch to another browser, does anyone know how to fix this?

Sync Setup Stalls

I'm attempting to set up sync between my windows laptop and my new android phone. The phone has firefox loaded, allows me to pull up the 'sync and save your data' page, allows me to choose 'ready to scan' and presumably successfully scans the QR code displayed on the laptop (the laptop prompts me to approve the new device). Then the laptop indicates I need to wait to approve it on my phone, and the whole process stalls. The phone continues to display the mostly blank white screen with only the "moz://a" at the top and the spinning blue circle in the center. Eventually the whole thing seems to time out and I receive an error message on the laptop saying "websocket unexpectedly closed" and "device pairing failed".

My two hypotheses are that either still having my old phone (which is being retired to at-home use only, and I'd rather not de-sync) still synced is somehow interfering (seems unlikely), or that something about the new phone's software is interfering in the sync (seems unlikely and way out of my league in terms of troubleshooting around).

Help please?

For the last day I've been having a problem with FF slow to load. I've tried the troubleshoot mode with little change. When it does load I can have problems with certain web sites loading e.g. Youtube, MSNBC, AOL mail etc. It's never consistent. The cache is clean and I've saved all the relevant cookies, I checked my internet provider and they are having no problems and I don't seem to be having any internal hdw issues e.g. ethernet cable connections etc. I reinstalled FF-not a clean install and seemed to help for a time. Do I have any options other than a refresh? I don't seem to be having the same issues with Edge or Chrome. All W11 updates are current. I look forward to anyone's comments.

my new monitor offers a screen where I can shut down, sleep, or restart.......I usually chose sleep, because I think it allows me quicker access to my browzer home page when moving the mouse for reboot. However, about six or more times now, the sleep mode will stop, a "don't interrupt" message in ghost script in the upper left hand corner of the screen comes on, the an HP logo with a dizzing circular moving gif suggest the computer is starting........no so. I have waited 30 minutes or more, started and stopped with the power button, hit every key on the board and swear prolifically now and then with NO results.

Using a fairly new HP computer, win 11, and version 134.0.2 of FireFox......AND, I'm a good guy. I think so, anyway. What am I doing wrong. It seems that each time this happens, if and when the computer will restart, that FireFox has an update in the wings and needs to have that installed before I move on to use the pc. Is there a connection?

After using the "recent browsing" menu in the top left corner of FF and opening certain websites from the "import tabs from other devices" menu it has completely broken a handful of websites on my PC entirely, even using other browsers.

The page will load but no content is displayed, no links or media, just a blank white page. This is consistent among these websites even among other browsers including Chrome and Edge.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF multiple times, cleared cache/history, hard PC resets, refreshed FF, Uninstalled and reinstalled every browser. The issue persists.

These websites still function perfectly fine on mobile FF and Chrome. I've exhausted website permissions, app permissions, etc. The issue still persists. These websites were functioning just minutes before I tried importing them from the other devices tabs. Something about that functionality has completely broken them on my PC.

Lately I've had to reload/refresh pages more frequently because of download issues. In order to the in FF I need to press the F5 key. To do the same thing in either Edge or Chrome all I need to do is right click and a little popup screen shows me the reload/refresh right there. Much more convenient to use. FF should use a similar technique.

Hello to you up there ! I have Windows 11 - 23H2 up to date ! since 21/1/2025 each time I start Firefox (up to date 134.02 - 64 bits) I get a warning from Malwarebytes Browser Guard that blocks a outgoing request coming from Firefox via port 443 to the IP 82.221.136.1 ( = welcometothemachine.co …. what is that ?? analytics ? AI  ??) .... I am asking myself why is Firefox trying to go to that IP because I never did ask for something like that and how to delete the whole request every time now .... (CCleaner does nothing when used) ... bizarre bizarre behaviour yes ! Who can answer me. Can you please also answer me on geomar@scarlet.be because I would not like to miss the answer ? Thanks.

The logo in the top left-hand corner of my website's landing page does not display using Firefox but is displayed properly using every other desktop browser. Using Firefox, just my name is displayed in place of the logo. Chrome for Android has the same problem but Firefox for Android displays OK. On my iPad both Chrome and Firefox display properly. What are the reasons for this? Is there some upper limit for the dimensions of the logo (mine is oblong in shape)? Do I have some settings that don't suit certain browsers? My site was built using Wordpress/Elementor/OceanWP. Many thanks in advance for an answer!

On several web pages, when i try to log into the accounts i have on those websites or account creations, when i try to click "Continue" or "Log in" or what ever may be the case to actually finish the process, the button will not actuate. I have tried on Microsoft edge and it works with no notable issue.(It just is slow because its Edge. lol) I dont have an adblock going of or anything of the sort that appears to be blocking the operation. Please heeeeeeelp.
