Firefox Community Forum

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Firefox has been my default browser for many years on my debian linux desktop.

I upgraded from version 129.0.2-1 to version 130.0-1 in the normal manner and the new firefox does not connect to remote sites. It does connect to local pages on my PC and, surprisingly, also to www.google.com from where I can access news, for example.

The chrome browser on the same PC has no problems accessing sites, nor does the version 129.0.2 firefox. Only the version 130.0 firefox has a problem.

This happened using my current profile, using --safe-mode and using --no-profile mode on the version 130.0 firefox. I was able to see some packets from a remote site (www.akamai.com) come back on wireshark but the page did not display on the browser. This also happens for sites that appear on the default new tab page, like wikipedia and youtube.

Any ideas on this? thank!!

whenever I use a fire fox browser my game (specifically minecraft doesnt happen on any other game) my mouse goes completely invisible whenever my browser is open, and ive tried closing it and trying a different browser like waterfox which also gets the issue and ive tried chrome that DOESNT get the issue. I havent had this problem before since recently and I dont believe I have done any changes to my game or my firefox so i'd like to get help on why this happens specifically on firefox/waterfox, and why its only minecraft and no other games

Hi, This is more of a nuisance than a serious problem. I am constantly getting a header message in Sharepoint "allow access to Microsoft 365 account". When I choose "allow access" I get a pop-up that lets me choose my institutional SSO account, which says I'm signed in already. This doesn't occur in Chrome (where I'm logged into my institutional email).

Does anyone know how to stop this message from popping up every 5 minutes?

I am new to Sharepoint (and not impressed!). I don't actually see any difference in its behavior whether I've allowed access or not.

thanks for any hints

Firefox has quite recently started showing a new and very annoying behaviour.

When I have multiple tabs open with image files, Firefox will randomly unload the images when I switch between tabs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when and why. In one instance I may be able to go through 10 tabs without an issue, and in other instances it will unload and have to reload images multiple times, even if I am only switching between two tabs.

Sometimes the images will reload automatically a couple of seconds after switching to a new tab, and other times the image will not reload unless I navigate away to a different website and then hit the back button to return to the image. In either case, it's extremely aggravating when looking back and forth between two images in different tabs to compare differences when they reload every single time I switch between them.

This only seems to happen with image files. I can have any number of web pages open in different tabs and they will not unload, but if the address points directly to an image it exhibits this behaviour.

I have already looked for solutions and tried disabling the 'browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory' option through the 'about:config' menu, but this has no effect on the behaviour at all. It continues to unload images when this option is set to 'false'.

This behaviour is a very recent change from how Firefox usually works, so I'm assuming that it's something to do with the latest update(s). I've only noticed it happening in the past couple of weeks, though I don't remember exactly when in that timeframe the problem first appeared.

Looking for any possible solutions or options that I might try to correct this.

When I type in Word 365 (Mozilla Firefox, 129.0.2 (64-bit)- snap for Ubuntu 24.04), using East European characters (e.g. š, č, ž), the text after the first such written character (see the first uploaded image) disappears after going to new line (pressing Enter or moving mouse to another line) (see the second uploaded image). It worked before on the Ubuntu 22.04 with manually installed firefox (not from snap) and is also working in Chrome.

I am unable to find the solution. I already installed additional fonts, I also created links to the installed fonts in $USER/snap/current/.local/share but nothing helps.

Has anyone encountered similar problem (and found a solution)?

My firefox browser has a problem for first time. A few URLs in history are rapidly cycling through the address bar. The page scrolls automatically moveing my browser window to the bottom. Attempts to bring it back failed as it rapidly goes back to bottom. It is like the browser is being manipulated from outside. The problem is not present in Edge browser! I tried to open settings but the page doesn't display GENERAL menu choices, and is stuck to what's new. The rapidity of movement is like flickering due to a malfunctioning keyboard key stuck at some point. Any suggestions?

I have tried repeatedly and failed. At the point where I select the backup file as per the instructions, I dont get a confimation of success or failure, which leaves me in doubt if I have done the recovery correctly. When I come to look at the bookmarks, nothing happens. The bookmarks and the software to open them are not connecting. Can you help?

I have been a Foxfire user for many years, but lately a number of issues are making me go to Chrome more and more often. Images are missing on many pages after page 1. Pages with images are very slow to load, even though the images are not being displayed. Some commercial websites won't allow me to access them at all (Eddie Bauer is an example,) often displaying an "Access denied" message.

Also, I am forced to log in almost every time I access sites (Yahoo mail and Amazon are examples that I access daily.) With 2-factor ID, this is a big issue because my phone is usually at the other end of the house.

These things don't happen with Chrome. Is there a way to fix them in Firefox?

the browser will not open comments sections in Aol, and JPost. But, in other browsers the comments section on the bottom of each article is available. How can i fix it?

I'm clearing space on my hard disk. I discover FF has 2 profiles, both with default-release as part of their names. One was last modified today, and one last modified a few months ago. I've not knowingly done anything to create a profile in that period. Why have I got two, and can I delete the older one?

Many thanks

My send command has disappeared. After i have written an email, there use to be a SEND command top left corner..now suddenly this has disappeared.. How can I get it back ????

Fully patched Windows 11 on ARM Windows Surface Pro X SQ2

What I see: Misrendering of UI elements and some elements of webpages. Rectangular areas of all white with white on white text e.g. tab labels, settings page, etc.

What I tried. Uninstalling FF Reinstall FF Refresh settings

None of these fixed the problem for me.

Uninstalled Firefox Reinstall of Firefox

I have the latest FireFox Nightly, and i'm using a theme from firefox's themes store, and it has all tabs "marked" for some reason, which is really annoying and I can't really identify on which tab i'm currently at

I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that before

Firefox Motzilla code question I’m signing into Printify using my Firefox account. Everything was good getting my Etsy shop as it was. But all of this came to a halt because I needed to pare my IPhone with my MacBook Pro. Couldn't get anywhere. Couldn't login to Prinitfy. It asked me for my code and this brought everything to a halt. I hunted everywhere. I don't have them. Needing codes is relatively new to me. I have been mostly working on designing and publishing products for Etsy. End of last year and this one, I've been hacked (4 months to repair) Right now I’m working on retrieving nearly everything including my identity. which happened last week. I believe over half of what I lost has been fixed. It is slowly coming to completion, but I need the codes or possibly new ones please, now to get into Printify. I have 73 products in my store.. To finish. the codes, where would they be? What do I do? I don"t know. I have much time to fulfill my mission, I've gone broke because of all the problems I've had, but I keep trying. Please help me. FYI, I work on a 2019 16" MacBook Pro: Sonoma 14.5.

My best to you all, Jane Magarigal
