After a few hours in Firefox, the hard drive begins to be very active, and display progress slows until system becomes overloaded. Sometimes I can wait it out, but more often I have to press reset to regain control. I found this section in the log:

please I would like blank page with menu bar & bookmarks sidebar when opening firefox this was my previous go to for years when using firefox Also there is a horizontal bar with getting started & previous tabs underneath the web bar which just showed up today please tell me how to eliminate

In the last few months Firefox behaves badly when playing Youtube and Vimeo videos. Sometimes it freezes; sometimes the aspect ratio of the video gets badly-stretched or the video takes over the entire window that Youtube or Vimeo is running in. Sometimes the Youtube or Vimeo player is missing a control such as the volume control or icon to "like" the video, etc. If I copy and paste the URL from Firefox into Chrome, there are no problems at all. If I use Chrome exclusively to visit those websites there are no problems. This is strictly a Firefox problem. I have many other video-playing apps on my PC such as Adobe Premiere Pro, VLC, Windows Media Player, etc, and none of them are having problems. I've done several updates of Firefox with no relief.

Kia ora,

I swear I have Googled this a bunch of times and never quite got the answer. I actually suspect it's not fixable, but I was wondering if anyone understood it.

Firefox is a supported browser on the university network, but the connection drops anywhere between immediately after loading the previous tabs to half an hour later. Mostly somewhere in between. I don't *think* this is happening with Chrome, but I only use Chrome if I have to.

Google Calendar will have a wee note at the bottom saying it is disconnected; no other windows say anything, they just won't refresh/allow me to search. What's interesting to me is that Facebook Messenger will work. Nothing else will be working and I can continue a conversation that loads both ways in that tab.

The add-ons I have are:

• Duckduck Go Privacy Essentials
• Facebook Container
• Google Scholar Button
• Privacy Possum
• Social Fixer for Facebook
• uBlock Origin
• View Image

Any ideas? It can be infuriating when I'm searching for (academic articles). I haven't seen that it's particularly linked to how many tabs I've opened/buttons I have interacted with or anything.

Cheers

I can't load Facebook Messenger for the last 2 weeks; I had no difficulty before that. Facebook itself is no problem, except loading slowly (not new). I wonder if the security settings that prevent others from accessing my personal information have something to do with this?

I have a Mac Mini with OS 10.10 and am using Firefox 78.15.0esr (64 bit).

What do I have to do to load Messenger? It is my main contact with the world since I retired.

Thank you!

Hello, after last update i have problems with loading pages. In example teams: after clicking join to meet my web browser shows blank white page and none happen. This is the case in many websites.

This has been a common issue brought up many times by users of the years and keeps coming up as an issue. Currently I am on Windows 11 and have my taskbar set to autohide which is causing the white line to show up, I started getting this issue after the new update. I have tested in safe mode and a new profile but it still shows up thoughts?

I'm running Mac v10.13.6 (High Sierra) and I am unable to export passwords from Safari to Firefox, nor can I save any passwords with Firefox, even though I click the box/button to "save."

Can anyone help me?

Update: I opened up a Private browsing page,then went to Ancestry-DNA matches then Turned off ETP and bam,all my matches are back!! This only worked for me in Private browsing. Hope it helps!

I have done refresh,cleaned cookies/data,turned off ETP,added the address to trusted,I have done everything everyone has suggested. I even called Ancestry directly,they said the problem is with FF,since their last update. I refuse to use chrome,so I guess after a freakin week of this I will need to get rid of FF and download Opera. Since no one has a real fix for this problem. I can see everything on Ancestry,except for the DNA matches. A real bummer for my research. So disappointed!

Hi!

Is it possible to configure firefox so that when I right click image and choose view image info it would not request that image again from server but rather look it up from already downloaded resource? In some cases it can be a problem or even deal breaker if that feature has to make new request just re-download what has already been downloaded.

The Keeper Password Manager Extension for Firefox is supposed to have a "switch" to turn on the "auto logoff" feature. This, at least, is what the Keeper website says. I have looked at the Keeper extension in Firefox (and made sure it was the current version) but I cannot find any reference to auto logoff. I would like to be able to use this feature (as I am able to do in Chrome.) Any insight to this?

Latest version of Firefox (110) on iMac won't play Toastmasters or MindValley videos - Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Prime videos all okay. I checked the settings, all looked okay. Tested Chrome browser - Toastmasters and MindValley videos play okay. Conclusion: Firefox fault, or obscure setting wrong

Hello all.. I have two network cards in my pc, each one from a different network. One network needs proxy and the other is a direct connection. I have always used two browsers, and firefox for the network with proxy, because it allows independent configuration. But a few months ago it is not assuming this configuration and it goes through the configuration of the operating system

How do I update my notification email address?

I am asking for this because I continue to receive notifications at my OLD email address, despite updating my profile to my NEW email address.
