Why is Firefox Browser no longer an acceptable browser to access some on-line accounts? Business entities are no longer recognizing Firefox. When utilizing another browser connectivity is no issue.

To whom it may concern, My firefox on a Mac running 14.7.1 crashes on every site that I try to access. It goes to the below image that states "gah, etc". I have sent in mutliple crash reports and followed the troubleshooting on the forums. Steps followed so far -Restarted Firefox -Restarted Mac - Cleared Cache and temporary files -Cleared startup cache -disabled extensions -refreshed firefox -upgraded Mac OS

My next option seems to be to uninstall the programs and reinstall it, but I am worried about losing all saved information including passwords, bookmarks, etc. I cannot even access mozilla's site nor the ability to turn sync on.

Any thoughts would be welcome. Thank you, Adam

Hiya.

So if I download an attached file on gmail using Firefox... it crashes. If I open up a new tab on Firefox... it crashes. It only started this week.

I'm using 12.7.6 and I really don't want to go back to Chrome, so I hope you can help.

The macbook completely freezes apart from the mouse pointer which moves, but cannot open a thing. Every time I have to turn the macbook off to restart it.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.

Best, Mike

Hi - have been having an issue since 128 where I can't select items in certain menus in Firefox with the mouse. Each time I open Firefox, it works once. Subsequently, the focus in the menu is completely off from where I put my mouse, and I can't click anything. (I would upload a video, but there doesn't seem to be a way). An example of the behavior is: -hamburger menu open. Mouse is on 'Translate page', but focus is on 'save page as'.

  • This happens with both the trackpad and the mouse.
  • I don't experience this issue with other applications.
  • I can navigate some of the menu options with the keyboard. For example, in the Bookmark menu I can select Save, but not Remove bookmark.
  • I don't have any issue with the main nav bar (File, Edit, etc)

This applies to for example: Save bookmarks (cmd+d), Hamburger Menu, Update reminders, and the new Translation dialog (have attached screenshots of some affected items). I can't inspect them to see if they are all the same component that is causing the issue, because they disappear if you choose Inspect. (I'm unable to see a "Disable popup autohide" setting in my meatball menu, as described here). I also tried the steps listed [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../957538] here. Things I have tried:

  • resetting PRAM/SMC just in case it's my machine
  • disabling hardware acceleration
  • starting in safe mode
  • refreshing Firefox
  • updating to the latest version (thrice)

machine: MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014

Hi -

I research a lot of topics and admittedly have tons of bookmarks in tons of folders. I've used Firefox probably for ten years.

I can save new bookmarks on my desktop PC, but about a week ago, it's gotten harder and harder to save on my Macbook. I've cleared the cache many times, turned off all extensions. Shut down Firefox then reloaded it, and shut down my Macbook, which is the only time I'm able to save any bookmarks.. then it reverts back to not being able to save any.

What's going on, and how do I fix it?

Thanks.

Websites won't load. I had max protection and DNS enabled, it worked, then one day it stopped and I got an error that they couldn't resolve the DNS connection. So then I moved it back to Standard protection, and now sites load intermittently. Facebook loaded fine an hour ago, now it says "We can’t connect to the server at www.facebook.com." I have no extensions, not connected to a VPN right now, have tried restarting, and other browsers work fine.

When I try and log into the National Lottery it keeps telling me I'm not in the UK. This is on my Desk Top.

When I do it on my Laptop I don't have this problem. I am using FireFox on both.

Can you help or do I need to go elsewhere.

Many thanks.

I have not noticed this before upgrading my Mac to Sequoia 15.0, using latest Firefox browser update, but "printing to PDF" which I used in the past extensively, makes a PDF file that causes the letters to be one ASCII number off. So if I type into the "search" field "p", then all the "o's" are highlighted. I can only enter a search term if I usean "ASCII number +1" technique, so I can search for "get" by typing in "fds". Numbers are searched for as in the past. This is not happening if I make a PDF using my Safari browser, all the PDF words are correct and searchable as in the past. Anyone have insights as to why this might be occurring? I will try restarting in "safe" mode and re-downloading Firefox as is suggested in some of the articles here. Thanks!
