Opening any tab at all gives the "Gah. Your tab just crashed." messsage. Even after disabling all extensions, and with a fresh install. The problem ceases when I launch firefox in troubleshoot mode. Any ideas what the issue may be?

bluescreens on my windows 10 desktop seem to occur primarily when watching videos on youtube or browsing facebook or switching internet sites. It seems like there is some sort of glitch in firefox. Three or four times a day is too much and makes me feel like firefox is not a secure browser. There are other browsers available. It's been happening ever since I upgraded my computer to 10. Is this just me? There does not seem to be a lot of similar issues in your FAQ's and I'm getting frustrated.

I'm running an old combo linux & firefox: 14.04 & 55.0.2 Lately some sites appear as white screens, some load then turn white, some say 'old version' then white screen, and a few seem to load but buttons can't be pushed. Config probs? Are the sites doing it, or has HTML outpaced the old firefox? Happens in both normal and private mode.

Oddly, I've tried to install newer firefoxes, but couldn't install. Old linux?

Has only been a minor problem until lately.

A linux reinstall is still too big a hassle for the moment.

Thank you all.

Just go to websites and on and off keep having this problem where the images or text shows up green or missing as shown below. But if I take an actual screenshot through Firefox the image shows up as if nothing is wrong. I don't have any extensions or add-ons that I am aware of. Am running the most updated version, but this has been a problem for awhile, just overly annoyed with it now.

My Firefox is up-to-date (107.0.1), and it was working fine for some time but suddenly websites started to unload or partially load and so slow. I thought it was a connection problem but then I realized things work fine with Chrome (which I'm using now to type this). I checked the help articles about the possibility of being blocked by a firewall or anti-virus, and I did add Firefox in the exceptions for both, and I made many reboots, and still Fiirefox is not working and not loading the pages quickly (if at all). I even reduced the security level in Firefox settings and picked the "No Proxy" option, and disabled my anti-virus (Avast) completely, but nothing works at all. It was fine just yesterday.

I use Win7 64bit

Tips please? Thanks.

I opened Firefox the other day and couldn’t open any websites or settings. I tried searching things in the searchbar and nothing would even begin to load. I just have the same white screen no matter what I click on. I tried clicking on my bookmarks, I tried opening the settings but nothing would begin to load or open.

I’ve reinstalled Firefox a handful of times, refreshed it, ran it in troubleshooting mode, but nothing seems to work. My other web browsers work fine, all my other apps run fine. I’m not sure why it’s not loading anything, and I haven’t really been able to find any answers online because I’m not sure how to phrase what’s happening correctly.

I’m on Windows 11.

Hey there!

We have problems with our OAuth authentication in Firefox. There are 4 calls happening (3 Redirects).

- Call To Login - Call To Authorize Endpoint - Call To Client SignIn - Call To Client Homepage

The expected behavior would be

Login (302) -> Authorize (302) -> Client SignIn (302) -> Client Homepage (200)

This works in a few tested browsers. In Firefox the first three calls appear simultaneously without a status code in the network tab and the page keeps loading. After about 75 Seconds the page loading stops and the three status codes (302, 302, 302) appear. But the fourth request is missing in the network tab. (See attached images - Firefox is dark, Chrome is white)

I have redacted HAR files of both Firefox and Chrome if that helps.

Any idea why Firefox behaves like that?

Thank you for helping! Best, Chris

I would suggest within the last month or so Firefox has started to hang in a way that everything continues to "work" but I cannot switch tabs and I cannot do anything else with Firefox until I kill it.

I can periodically reproduce this by: Randomly select and copy text on a website.

Behavior observed: You can no longer switch tabs, enter a new location, close tabs, or really interact with the browser at all even though it is not dead. Keyboard shortcuts do not work either.

Version: 107.0

Whenever a website prompts for me to upload or download a file and I except Firefox crashes, quitting in its entirety. This still occurs in "Troubleshoot" mode so I assume it is not any of my extensions. Here is a crash report from when this occurred if it helps. Another odd observation I made is that I am able to upload a file if I use a "drag-and-drop" feature on a website.

For the last several weeks, the reliability of Firefox has went off a cliff following an auto-update. After a few hours of browsing, it gets to the point where the tabs load extremely slow (or not at all). When this happens, I exit and relaunch.

Previously, it would be nearly instantaneously where the windows would close and the firefox.exe process would cease within seconds. Now, it's taking upwards of 5-10 minutes for the process to stop AFTER the windows have closed and, during that time, it'll bring the system to a near crawl. Once the process finally closes though, everything is back to working fine.

Of all sudden my firefox browser completely stopped working. My internet works. My other browsers work. Firefox does not. The pages load infinitely, sometimes they will load after like 20 minutes. I have tried all the solutions under "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" help section and none helped, neither did restarting my computer my network adapter nor my router. Every other browser works normally but for some reason firefox does not. It sometimes loads a page on launch but then it stops loading anything again.

I am working on a website and recently installed Firefox to test it in other browsers. While testing on Mozilla, I noticed that the page does not fill the entire window; the html element ends where the purple background begins, and the vertical scroll bar should not be visible because there is nothing to scroll. The page works just fine on other browsers and devices. (You can test it on tyriadle.com > skills > select any option.) I tested it on other computers, and the result is the same on Mozilla.

Hi,

The highlighted process sometimes goes up to as high as 55% ish CPU for hours on end, making my computer lag for no reason. If I individually close the process, nothing happens, and the issue fixes itself (firefox runs fine with it closed).

It is concerning since I could not find anything on google about this process, is this some kind of malware? I did run a MalwareBytes scan on my entire computer, and nothing turned up.

Please let me know what that process is.

There are no error messages.

Thank you for any help.

Multiple websites including Wall Street Journal, Etrade, Ultimate Guitar Tabs and several news sites are freezing up or failing to load properly. Latest updates on Firefox and Windows 11. I've used Firefox for years but now its becoming increasingly annoying to the point of uselessness and no one seem interested in helping. Microsoft Edge seems to work just fine. Its not as slick as Firefox but at least it works.
