Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I'm new to Firefox after changing from another browser.

I am looking for a setting to turn on notifications from sites such as Instagram to notify me with a pop-up window from the web browser.

Is this not available on Firefox?

If not available, I'd like to suggest this as a new feature.

If it is available, would someone help me find this to turn on when I signed into Instagram? It did not ask me if I wanted to turn on notifications.

Thanks

For the past few weeks my credit union website has posted the following error code "A connection failure has occurred. Please try again or call the Member Service Center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (907) 563-4567 or (800) 525-9094.

I called member service and they blamed the problem on Mozilla, stating they are slow to update their security protocols to accept GCU's advance security. They refused my suggestion that they reach out to Mozilla and there is no direct way to contact Mozilla Support.

I have used this browzer for years with no problem, and now I can't use it on my online banking site; the only site where this problem occurs. HELP

I can't login to Topcashback.co.uk it just hangs at the login. this has now been going on for a couple of months, I assume something has changed with Firefox as I never had a problem before. I have no problems with other browsers (Microsoft Edge or Chrome) I have tried clearing the cache

I could not join a group panel discussion in US using Zoom. The error message said connection could not be made with a Zoom site ending with .us The meeting was organised by Coda a US based organisation. The Uk end was organised by a website called Eventbrite. I tried again using an I-Pad but got the same rejection withh error message PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I should add that recently quite frequently when I start an online search on my Windows 10 PC a box appears at left end of search box stating   "Insecure" but this quickly disappears.

I frequently use google image translate by taking screenshots and pasting them in the website. On chrome, I could grant it access to the clipboard on the first screenshot then not worry about it anymore. On firefox however, pressing ctrl + v first opens a context menu where I then have to click "paste" (or press p) every single time. It's getting annoying to have to go through this extra step. Is there a setting or add-on that would allow me to give a website full clipboard permissions like other browsers?

As you can see from the image, the bookmark sidebar width can be expanded, but the width of the text portion does not grow with it. My longer bookmark names get truncated. Is there a setting to deal with this? If so, how do I access it?

I'm getting constant crashes with my browser getting the crash reasons EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT

Hello,

In some tabs, my address bar flickers. I have not observed any clear pattern as to why this happens, though I can say for certain that re-doing the browsing steps in a new tab will sometimes solve the issue.

Incredibly odd!

Note that I am on a portable version of Firefox provided by PortableApps Platform.

My computer was slowing down so I opened task manager.

I discovered that Firefox had 40 different things running and was using over a gigabyte of memory. I could not identify what the various things Firefox was running. Or what tab they related to.

It would be useful if Firefox could indicate in tax manager, what is going on and permit me to end task individually rather than shutting down the entire browser.

Meantime, what can I do to keep this from going on?

I have already shut down Firefox several times as well as restarted my computer to no avail.

Also cleared the cache and cookies

Firefox will show that audio is "playing" but no sound will come out, unless I connect a bluetooth speaker or headphones.

Solutions tried (and failed):

1. uninstalling all audio drivers 2. checking if it's a problem with my computer (it's not, every other application plays sound) 3. enabling cookies 4. allowing autoplay video and audio 5. completely uninstalling and clean installing firefox again 6. turning off bluetooth to see if the pairing is the problem 7. cleared cache 8. turned off any adblock and/or extensions whatsoever 9. allowed drm content to play 10. allowed pop-ups 11. reset settings preferences

any help or input is appreciated. Thank you!

Our Firefox sometimes stalls, and if we try to exit, to start fresh, it won't reopen, because there is a firefox process still running. The click to close Firefox has no effect on this background process. Taskmaster sometimes shows firefox processes, which can be closed, but that doesn't get everything. Sometimes a total hard shutdown resolves it.

Hi, for the past couple of weeks firefox is causing the GPU to block firefox when trying to play a youtube short preview by hovering over the short. The screen goes white and then returns and it happens again if you leave the cursor over the short. After a few of these, the message comes up that the GPU (nvidia in this case) acceleration has blocked access to firefox. This will happen every time. The issue doesn't occur in chrome. The issue doesn't occur if firefox is started in troubleshoot mode. If I run in regular mode and manually disable my one extension (keeper) and the two plugins - widevine codec and cisco openh264 codec, the issue will still occur. I have no other add-ins. I have updated firefox and the nvidia drivers to the most current. The gpu is nvidia geforce 940mx with intel hd graphics 620. I am running 64bit windows 10 home on an hp envy laptop with i7 chip. Any ideas? Thanks.

I use a website in the UK alljigsawpuzzles.com The page loads fine and freezes with the firefox browser. Other browsers work fine. I have been unable to determine if a setting is the problem. I use https only. When I removed this setting, it allowed me to scroll for a few seconds and then froze again. Do you know what the problem is? It's true they recently upgraded their website. Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks! All updates are up to date.
