Firefox Community Forum

This happens when I click a link in an email or elsewhere. Firefox responds otherwise, I can open links within Firefox. It used to simply open the link in a new tab.

How can the previous behaviour be restored? so I can open a link in an existing FF window?

This is a new installation of Firefox. (Thank you, BTW). Whenever I try to open a new tab, a whole new window opens. It's making me crazy :-( In settings, I have this option checked: "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" But new windows are still opening. Thanks for your help!

i am required to supply a foxfire/mozilla password to use my stored payment method-it pops up, however, I've never created a foxfire password and do not have one so my saved credit card info wont work . Please advise

I have been a Firefox user for many years and love it. Recently I am having lots of problems with entering information into fields (credit card number etc). I'm also having trouble logging into sites I have been using for years and other people are having the same problems. I have tried deleting cookies etc with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I highlight text on any page in Firefox 136.0, and then ask Gemini to "Explain this", Gemini opens in the Sidebar (I have selected the RHS of the screen for the sidebar), but my selected text is not entered into Gemini, and nothing happens. If I try this again while the sidebar is open, I get the message "Something went wrong, try reloading this page" Reloading the page doesn't help.

Hello, I have entered 100% accurate login credentials. I know this because I know I can login with the same credentials on Safari and Chrome. I have enabled cookies and I have turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection and don't know why BofA.com won't load. I only get a spinning wheel that just keeps spinning. Please help! Thank you, David

This is something I've noticed in the last couple of mouths...

Initially everything on Firefox runs fine for the first 1-3 hours, but after that the multiple YouTube website video tabs I generally have open, especially the very last YouTube website video tab that's open, or any new YouTube website video tab I open, starts to lag like crazy.

Using my mouse to click the play/pause on the video player, or pressing the play/pause function key or spacebar on my keyboard, takes a good 3 or 4 seconds before the input action is registered, and it's not just that but the entire UI of the web page itself is slowed down.

Doing simple things like clicking on-screen buttons to navigate, and scrolling down to load comments, or scrolling down to load other video thumbnails etc etc, takes a good few seconds to actually work.

In general the YouTube tab(s) become very slow and unresponsive, and it's not just the video player on the tabs - it's the YouTube website in general that is affected.

I don't see a substantial difference in CPU or RAM in Task Manager when these 'slow downs' occur, but the fan speeds inside my mini PC do spin louder and louder.

For whatever reason this problem ONLY happens with YouTube. Other websites via other tabs tend to run and function just fine 24/7.

I'm running the latest 133.0.3 version of Firefox, and my system specs are as follows:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700T CPU @ 2.00GHz Storage: 595.2 GB Installed RAM: 16 GB (15.7 GB usable)

Other people have also reported similar things over on Reddit with regards to Firefox and YouTube.

I accidentally blocked a web site that I need. I have followed all of the instructions to unblock (creating a master password, etc) but it does not work. I need to get this site unblocked as soon as possible.

Hello, I am not able to connect to my mozilla account. I write correct my password, and a code is sent to my email. I write to code but always the system gives me the message "Invalid code" or "Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again."

Could you help me please.

Thank you

I am using a Hammerspoon on MacOs to do my window management. This allows me to move windows around to different areas and monitors using my own hotkeys. For all other applications, this works perfectly. Windows move to the target area/screen instantly when I press a hotkey. However, Firefox always needs some "encouragement". On every key-press, it moves towards the desired location & size, but never gets there in one go.

After some googling, I recently found another question on this forum that seemed to fix the problem. It is this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438695

By setting `ui.prefersReducedMotion` to 1, Firefox stops its animation-stuff and does exactly what is expected when the windowmanager gives the window a series of `(x, y, w, h)` instructions. So, that seemed like the fix I needed.

But... I typically don't reboot my mac for weeks on end and I noticed that after "some time", Firefox reverts back to its old behaviour. I have not yet figured out if there is a minimum amount of time before this happens, or if it has something to do with locking/unlocking my mac. At the moment the only way to fix it again is to restart Firefox.

I know reducing animations in MacOS' accessibility-settings probably fixes it for good, but that is not what I want. That would remove _all_ animations from all of the apps and the OS. How can I help investigate this?
