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.

I updated to 133.0.3 just now and Firefox will not load any pages in new tabs. The only tabs I have open are the ones that were open when the application restarted with the update. For example, I could not open https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/133.0.3/WINNT/en-US/firefox-help to report this bug because it was not already open (I am reporting to you using Brave). This is happening in both new tabs and new windows.

I have been trying to log in to a newspaper website for which I have a subscription. This used to work in Firefox without a problem, but for a while now I have been encountering the problem that when I open the website the usual options "Subscribe" and "Log In" are missing. The "Log In" option is available when I open the website in Microsoft Edge. I have attached screenshots showing the missing links.

I have tried troubleshooting and opening in Safe Mode to disable any add-ons but still without success. I am hoping that there may be a simple solution and would appreciate any help.

Hello, After a combined Windows and Firefox update, my sidebar panel that I use to access my tabs and other extensions primarily sits behind the webpage itself. I can still see my tab icons, and when I hover over it to expand I can see that it does in fact expand, but the information is displayed behind the current webpage. I've attached a couple images to show what I mean. In the first image it shows how it normally would look, just the tab icons. In the second it shows how it is behind the webpage. You can see the start of the tab names and at the top you can see that it's expanded, as it's covering the previous, next, refresh buttons.

The sidebar extension for the tabs is called Sidebery.

Can anyone help me fix this behavior?

Thanks.

My Firefox instance (133.0.3 64bit) on notebook shows warnings for leaked passwords in my password manager. I can even search for unsafe passwords.

My Firefox instance (same version) on tower PC synchronizes the passwords, but doesn't show warnings (incl. the black key icon), though I checked the box in settings to do so, and restarted over and over. What else can I do?

Hello.

For the past few months, I've been experiencing severe issues with performance that I noted appear only on YouTube. I have not noticed this on any other website. The site is unresponsive, takes a long time to load, key presses (pause, skip 10s, etc.) are registered with a massive delay. It is generally very unpleasant to use.

I have tried disabling all extensions, clearing data, I even reinstalled the entire operating system once for a different reason and the issue still persisted. I launched YouTube on different browsers (Chrome) with no performance issues at all.

I lived with this problem for a long time now, but recently it's becoming unbearable. I prefer Firefox to Chromium-based browsers, but as YouTube is a site I visit very frequently, I will unfortunately consider switching to another browser.

I have not found any useful resources regarding this issue on the Internet, it seems like it's not a common problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Starting yesterday, whenever I open Firefox, a second page also opens. It is blank and unresponsive to commands. Doesn't do much of anything. The address in the address bar is for a crypto-currency exchange which I've never done business with nor ever visited to my knowledge. No input either on the main screen nor in the address window seems possible. The only thing functional on the page is the red-X in the upper right hand corner. It works fine. But whenever I close Firefox then re-open it, the second crypto-exchange page is there again. It opens concurrently with the regular Firefox browser page. Which functions normally. I don't know what to make of it, and I don't want it. Does anyone have any ideas???

So I have been having a problem with firefox where the window turns completely blank randomly. this happens more often when I have a private tab open. It would literally turn blank every few seconds. Usually when I alt tab it goes away, but then it happens again after a few seconds. The weird thing is is that this only happens on Windows. Both 10 and 11. I also have Linux installed on the same PC and there it doesn't happen. I've reinstalled my Windows multiple times yet the problem remains. Firefox forks like Waterfox also have this problem.

Hi everyone,

Prior to the release of Firefox Desktop 133.0, which I believe came out today on 11/26, I was using the profile switcher that was in the Firefox application menu. I had all my profiles created in about:profiles and I had browser.profiles.enabled set to true. This allowed me to easily switch between profiles by pressing the hamburger button in the top right. However, it is no longer appears for me after the latest Firefox update. I'm not exactly sure if I'm missing something, or if this was intended as I know the profile switcher was a work in progress feature.

This reddit post shows what the feature looked like. I will also attach the images.

If anyone would know why this no longer appears to be working, or how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it. I know I can just use about:profiles or some other alternative, but I found this to be the most convenient.

I am losing my mind!! Firefox shows "your tab just crashed" all the time. It works fine in Troubleshooting Mode. I tried your suggestions such as: disable add-ons & turn off accelerator, reloaded new firefox. These do not solve the problem. I have been with you for years and this is the first time a problem. I am not very computer literate at 82 years old. I am totally lost and need your help!
