Firefox Support Forum

I am experiencing contant buffer after 30 mimutes of watching a stream on firefox, it keeps happening and i have to move to edge to carry on watching it. It is not my internet as other browsers have no issues i moved to firefox due to chromes ram hungry nature and left opera due to it taking massive storage space. I dont want to have to move again but its becoming a great annoyance, I was thinking is this due to firefox not being chromium based so youtube does not like it? I cleared the startup cache and this hasn't fixed i hope you can sort this if not i will have to move browser.

I use lots of profiles. I have noticed when using the profile set-up specifically for yahoo and another profile set for shopping at the same time I will get ads in the yahoo profile that I have only searched in the shopping profile. To be clear, I only use the yahoo for surfing yahoo news; I do not enter search terms in the yahoo profile.

what are the pros and cons of profiles vs containers?

I like to set-up firefox using profiles better than containers because:

I can set up each profile with its own extensions I can set up each profile focused toward a task in isolation from all other tasks I can set up each profile for a different user that does not see another users containers

But I have issues with the set-up this way I prefer; and, these issues need to be and will be addressed in other questions like:

I have noticed when I have two profiles open at the same time there will be ads in one profile that could have only come from the other profile. The title of this post will be: Is any body aware when two profiles are open at the same time there is a close talk between them?

The whole experience is slow even though I do not have many tabs open in the profiles I use the most. The title of this post will be: Firefox is slow - will multiple profile affect performance?

Thanks in advance!

Clicking Bitwarden icon in menu bar gives a white box with tiny circles rotating in a circle. What is the problem so I can get rid of that box? Unable to log in or use.

Why when I'm going from one address to another using Firefox does the attempt fail after 2 or 3 sites? Want to watch more than a couple of videos on Youtube forget it. View more than just two or three search results no way.

I use your browser with tampermonkey plugs to auto collect data from website.

However, your browser tab will always be stuck after a period of time and will not respond. You must manually close the tab and reopen a new tab before you can continue the collection task.

But I rarely encounter the situation that the tab is stuck when I use Chrome. Can you help me solve this problem？

Yet, Firefox will in consistently tell me a website is insecure such as duckduckgo.com and I can't open the site. I now have to use Safari to access my online trading account. When I am shopping and I click on an "interior" page, the page will display for several seconds and go blank.

I'm about ready to chuck Firefox altogether and go to Safari. Please help. Thanks.

Hi everyone I have encountered a strange bug where Firefox blocks my Audio driver. The story is a bit complicated so bare with me.

1.) I should say that I use my PC professionally for Music Production and Mixing. I use a dedicatet software (Cubase in my Case). 2.) The Problem that occurs is, that when I switch from my DAW Cubase to Tidal oder Firefox the Audio Driver is not released which leads to Videos or Songs not being played correctly or not at all. 3.) I've contacted support from the Manufacturer of my Audio Interface and Cubase to look for a Solution there. All Attempts to fix this lead to the same source: Firefox. 4.) Experimenting with other browsers like Edge shows, that this Problem only occurs in combination with Firefox, or at least this is the most plausible theory at the moment.

So my question is how Firefox could be affecting this and if so, what could be done to remedy the error? I use several Apps at the same time since it's part of my workflow and I would like not to have to sacrifice it due to an error.

Are there any settings in Firefox that could be affecting the audio driver? Here are my System specs:

AMD Ryzen 5900 12 Core 64Gb Ram Windows 10 newest built Cubase 11 Tascam Model 12 (audio interface using manufacturers ASIO audio driver)

Thanks in advance for any help. René

It seems since the upgrade from ver 97 to 98 there were more crashes and inability to restore prior session. Also unsure if something in Firefox caused keyboard characters to be generated, ex. when typing, cursor skips back 1 line, or genrates a code to switch to another app. Rather go one describing, can someone contact me what additional info needed to address these problems. Thanks

There's this tiny white bar stuck at the bottom of the screen (only a couple pixels high) whenever I'm in full screen on Firefox. It doesn't happen with other browsers or any other application but it's really starting to annoy me whenever I'm on a dark page. I have my taskbar hidden and just on the bottom edge of the screen are a few pixels of white that wont go away. It might be a little hard to see on the snip cause it's so small but its genuinely really annoying when I'm on any site or watching anything.FYI I've already tried to troubleshooting restart and completely wiped my Firefox, default settings and it's still there. Any help would really be appreciated.

Good afternoon. My problem is that I am experiencing very slow (20% of normal) broadband speeds. This happens on a laptop bought in 2020 running Windows 10 when using Firefox via wifi. Speeds when browsing using Microsoft Edge on the same device and also via wifi are normal, which suggests the problem is not the network, my router or the wifi connection on the laptop in general. Also speeds connecting to the web using firefox via wifi using android devices are also normal. I have tried refreshing and then reinstalling Firefox on the laptop, which has made no difference. Has any kind person any solutions to suggest?

Thanks

I updated Linux Mint today, and everything else, including Firefox. Javascript seems to be at least partially broken. For example on reddit, the dropdown list of 'my subreddits' and links for post, edit, reply, voting, etc. all do nothing. On other sites where there should be dropdown lists, there's nothing there.

Turned off all add-ons. Same. Tried troubleshooting mode. Same. Still broken. Looked in the Mint forums and someone else was saying that they were having trouble with forms, so maybe related. But no solutions or things to try. Any ideas? Thanks.

Here's all the troubleshooting info:

I updated Firefox to 98 and benchmarks like MotionMark, Wirple, Speedometer 2, RoboHornet, Kraken, Octane 2, BaseMark, etc. show it is much slower than Firefox 97. Is this expected? Will Firefox 99 be faster, slower, or the same?

After the last update (98.0, Win 7x64) I got those black/yellow dotted frames around some objects in Firefox menus and dialogue boxes. Web pages content displays correctly. Please see the pictures. I use default theme, no CSS or custom styles. How can I fix this?

Secure connection error when searching with Google using the built-in Google search from address / search bar. Only happens sometimes, and in those instances, typing www.google.com on the address bar gets me to the Google page. Searching with Google then works. Does not occur if built-in address bar search engine is changed to Bing or other service providers.

Have tried the following indivdiually but did not isolate a fix for the issue. 1) Changing between no proxy or use system proxy on Firefox's connection settings. 2) Use Google cloud DNS instead of default ISP DNS on my Windows 10 internet connection settings. 3) Removing HTTPS Everywhere add-on. 4) Reinstalling Firefox, re-starting Firefox in safe mode, refreshing Firefox, and manually creating new profile (i.e. almost like a manual refresh). 5) Enabling Windows 10 enterprise security certificates via setting the about:config - security.enterprise_roots.enabled to true. 6) Changing the HTTPS-only mode in the normal Firefox settings. 7) Changing the "Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates" setting in Firefox. 8) Changing the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" on Firefox.

Issue does not occur with Chrome and Microsoft Edge regardless on any of the steps above.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I was told that Firefox retains web history for as long as either I retain it or it exceeds the maximum page limit. Is this true?

My follow up to that is if my current max pages in prefs.js is 96074, and the page size is 32,768, then does that mean my max places.sqlite file size is ~3GB?

If nothing is deleted, then I shouldn't have any Freelist pages to contribute to that page count right?

Any help is appreciated.

Our office runs 25 workstations with Firefox on Ubuntu 20.04. 19 of these have access to several network printers through a CUPS server that shares the printers (the workstations have the ServerName defined in /etc/cups/client.conf). Every time we print to a network printer using the new print dialog Firefox crashes. Now that print.tab modal can't be disabled it is even more annoying. I have noticed every printer defaults to color mode, even if it doesn't support color. Switching to black and white on non-color printers does not help. This morning I did "Clear saved print settings" in "More troubleshooting information", but that didn't help. Incidentally, the 6 using locally installed printers and all of our Windows and Mac workstations (which also have locally installed printers) have no problem printing.

Here is a crash report for each printer on our network, printing lxer.com: bp-57e23267-5588-478d-96b5-09d6b0220314 bp-e38b128d-ae2d-485f-a190-bde130220314 bp-cea960cf-e9d9-4cf1-97b6-d1f010220314 bp-63f4c057-f3bf-410a-ad66-001460220314 bp-e1e575a1-c9ea-4481-92de-a53e30220314 bp-b233ce76-975d-4934-90e4-7e5460220314 bp-81eab46b-2e09-48a0-9b9c-f696a0220314 bp-760892a9-9551-405d-89ad-fdec20220314 bp-a136ae9a-909b-40ea-9d98-e910d0220314 bp-e8402a61-ca13-462a-bbbc-54a120220314 bp-cf6a6e91-b38a-41dc-bec6-161c70220314 bp-3a16789c-d796-42f3-a8f6-fcf7a0220314 bp-c7243234-5da8-4ce3-89e3-4db670220314 bp-58f0b635-dd52-4d03-b24a-e2d160220314 bp-9cf6cb26-8794-4345-bc37-fdd820220314 bp-20eee63a-c77b-440f-a798-409730220314 bp-94c64026-5751-426d-90a0-4136e0220314 bp-97b3dc11-b945-464d-a049-123f60220314 bp-db47dcd0-2e98-4619-b7de-16abc0220314 bp-c86bf447-679c-425b-9ac5-292360220314 bp-de97f8e3-7b7f-4de7-a7bf-706070220314

I can't play Amazon or Netflix Videos anymore since the last Firefox upgrade and I don't know how to fix it. I'm 60 years old and very technically challenged so I don't know how to navigate or change things on this computer.

Since a new laptop with Windows 11, connections fail and I keep getting this message www.google.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR. I then try Chrome, and the link opens. After re-starting, the problem disappears, as it does if I try again maybe 30 minutes later. I've tried to clear cache, disable my Bullguard firewall etc. Any advice much appreciated. I do not want to have to switch to Chrome.
