WHY is it that every time I try to search for something in Firefox it takes me to Wikipedia? I cannot use Firefox any longer for searches without everything going to Wikipedia. I cannot find any way to escape that page or get rid of it. This started about a month ago. I'm fed up!

WHY is it that every time I try to search for something in Firefox it takes me to Wikipedia? I cannot use Firefox any longer for searches. Everything I try to do ends up as a Wikipedia issue. I cannot escape it, I can't delete it, I can't do anything with Firefox any longer.

let's keep it in one thread /questions/1410262

Multiple websites in Firefox will not open on two computers.

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Regards, Sir/Madam The website functions OK in Chrome but not in Firefox. [link] is the URL. The website symbol in the top left corner shows that contact has been made even though the page is now blank. Anyone with knowledge of the cause of Firefox's inability to load the website?

My minimize/maximize buttons have suddenly gone missing. I found other answers on this site that say Tablet Mode is the culprit; indeed, the density settings within Firefox are telling me Tablet Mode on.

However, tablet mode was officially removed in Windows 11. It's not in the settings, it's not in the Control Panel, and registry edits don't seem to work either. So what's going on here? A regression? How do I get my minimize and maximize buttons back?

Hi Everybody I upgraded to windows11 yesterday. Now I see that some websites like https://www.digitec.ch/ show correctly for approximatly 1 second, then they turn white. Any idea what causes that? Thanks a lot for any help. Thomas

the new update removed all of the websites that were listed in catagories on the left side of the browser window and I don't know how to put them back. They were all the important websites that I go to regularly.

Periodically lately I have been getting, on my HP Desktop w Firefox browser, a black outlined box about 3" X 2" popping up after I open the browser. It 'looks' official' or at least disturbing, and says, click on this link "MsMpEng.exe", but doesn't exactly say WHY you should do so. It looks like a hack but also official. Why would Firefox or Windows 11 allow such a prominent hack on the prime page? Can it be real? Very suspicious. happens maybe once a week or so last 5-6 weeks.

Firefox browser opens minimized - about half size. Support article suggests a refresh, tried that and it works for the first time the browser is opened after the refresh and then reverts to the same size.

Another suggestion was to delete the xulstore.json file as it may be corrupt. Done that several times. Each time, that solution works for the first time the browser is opened. Beginning with the second time, the behavior returns.

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Same result. Works for the first time the browser is opened.

I have no extensions or plug-ins installed other then what exists from the default browser. I am running the current version of Firefox, Windows 11, fully updated system with plenty of RAM and disk space.

Thanks!

I has notebook ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 with i5-1135g7. First time I discovered problem in Firefox 95. I used win 10. HW decode stop working at all. I don't changed anything(no new version of driver have been installed, no browser update, bios and etc) hw decode just stop working in Firefox. Edge and video players still use hw decode. I tried to reinstall firefox with fully cleared(remove Mozilla folders from appdata and clear temp folder) but it don't solve the problem. Recently I hear that in firefox 100 av1 will be accelerated with hw decode. I decided to make clean install of win 11. And in clear system(no matter win 10 or win 11) firefox use hw decode. I was happy with it, but no long. When I turn ac charge off and tried to start youtube video it tried to start in 10-20 seconds and then plaing without hw decode. And It not changed back when I connect ac charge back and make reboot. And clear install of firefox also has no effect. I think it in the same state as it was before windows reinstall. It can be matter than I set windows settings for ac mode max performance and for battery mode max energy efficiency. Also I had klite codec pack installed but all work with it while I was on ac(and other programs continue work now).

I think hw decode very matter for notebooks battery lifetime. I sad that I had to use edge to watch youtube. I hasn't problems like this in my desktop pc with nvidia card(but it always in max performance mode).

At least I watching how to reset firefox hw decode state to find which is cause problems(windows energy saving settings, codec pack or something else). I not found any information about this.

The menu in selected websites do not show typical icons. I only see words and they are in large font; the words run over each other. (Please see attached screenshot for one website.) This issue renders functionality of the website inoperable. This issue happens to about 40-50% of the websites I interact with.

For the same website in Chrome, this issue does not occur.

How to fix this in Firefox? Thank you.

I had two Firefox windows open, one private and one not, and a lot of tabs open on both, and while I was browsing the internet on the non-private tab, suddenly both of them close. I reopen Firefox (or it reopens itself, I don't quite remember) and it shows me a message telling me about how I can save articles on pocket to read them later instead of keeping lots of tabs open. I restore my session, and most (but, bizarrely, not all) of my tabs come back, but then, I try to log into gmail, and I never get past the stage where it asks me my email adress, I keep re-entering my email and clicking on the next button and it just loads the same page again, and when I try to log into crunchyroll it brings me to a page that just keeps loading and stays black without ever being truly loaded, and when I try to log into twitter everything stays black too except with a twitter logo in the center. I can still go to some other sites on Firefox, and I can still go to twitter, gmail, youtube and crunchyroll on Google Chrome, but twitter, gmail, YouTube and Crunchyroll don't seem to work on FireFox and I don't understand why!
