Firefox Community Forum

I always use Firefox as my primary site but in the last week I started getting the message 'Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot' when trying to open files on Flixxy.com or Biggeekdaddy that Ive been able to access for years. I'm signed in to Youtube so what does the message mean?. I can still access those files on Google or Edge but I'd prefer Firefox. Any suggestions?

For MONTHS now I have been unable to log into my BANK & ONLY my BANK.

EVERY TIME I try to log in I keep getting booted to the DAM "secure sign up" page!

Each month I have to get ANOTHER "temporary" passwords so I can get to my account & the next month I CAN'T LOG IN AGAIN & AGAIN I have to go through the entire routine again, temporary password, make up another new password over & over again!!!!!!!!!! I am sick & very tired of this, I only have problems with my BANK log in, no other site, just MY BANK! I suspect the problem is with FIREFOX not the bank. I don't want to use "Edge" because it's CRAP!

Description of the issue: I am experiencing an issue where I cannot paste images from my system clipboard into the chat box of Doubao (a web-based AI chatbot: doubao.com).

Steps to reproduce:

   Copy an image to the clipboard.
   Open doubao.com in Firefox.
   Click on the chat input box and press Ctrl + V (or right-click and Paste).

Expected result: The image should be pasted into the chat box and ready to be sent.

Actual result: Nothing happens. The image is not pasted.

It's 2025, and the only way to select an audio output device when using Google Meet seems to be to change the system's default.

Assuming you listen to music during your day, from your PC, this means switching back and forth a few times during the day, just to switch meeting audio output to the headset for calls.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for Google Chrome (or derivatives). You can choose an audio device there in the web application, and it does remember this over sessions. Awesome.

Guess what I am using for Google Meet then. Not Firefox.

I really like Firefox. I do support Firefox. Also financially. But seeing all kinds of efforts into AI, VPN and other stuff I don't use and care about, but having a basic browser feature missing, I really wonder if that's the right decision.

So please, whoever prioritizes stuff: get the basics, the daily features, working smoothly, before venturing off on new hipster stuff. Because if you miss out on the basics of the browser, you might end up with neither an accepted browser, nor any new hipster stuff.

I can't sign into my RBS Digital Banking page using Firefox. The display flips back and forth uncontrollably from Login page to Are You still Here? page. Login via Safari is as normal .. but Firefox is my preferred browser.

On firefox, when loading google maps all the labels (Streetnames, Shops Names etc.) appear for a second and then vanish again completely.

This has happened before, back then I've managed to make it work up to now by using an extension to disable WebGL on google maps, however recently the issue started up again.

I've tried: enabling/disabling webgl; clearing cache and cookies, Enabling/disabling hardware acceleration, updating the browser, restarting the browser, restarting the computer.

I visit the nbcnews.com web site frequently. For the past +/- 48 hours, I have been having issues. I can open the home page and scroll from top to bottom just fine. However when I now double-clcik to open a specific article, that article page opens for about one second and is then immediately replaced with a page that says "Something Went Wrong. Access to NBC News is temporarily unavailable. The problem will be resolved as soon as possible." This happens on whatever article I select. It also happens on 2 separate computers.

I e-mailed support at NBC News. Their response was "we cannot duplicate this behavior." They suggested I try another browser. I do not use anything other than Firefox, but I found an old installed copy of Internet Explorer from... 2015. IE opened the NBC News main page and all of the sub-pages just fine.

My Firefox just updated to version 115.30.0esr X64 within the past several days. I am not certain if the NBC News issue happened as a result of that update or not. Has anyone else experienced similar difficulties with this web site or as a result of this latest update?

When i try to print a pdf file trough gmail trough the preview window of the pdf, instead of printing it downloads a pdf file with a very long name (example of real filename: ACFrOgAcZiEDMs3JEBQmIpDaAGloJLSCzqQnju2ahdPe2m6v--kxq5xmHsQ3_OiYnd1RVZ5fR46JDQDXONNeSB2VeMNtaXzW3U7wPL1OahSYDRH2GxIrcVbFC68h2sFQPuJpmH_Id0M_oYukAKAjAq4dkn6a4oiPfF9Un5V3Cw==) which looks like javascript to me.

when I open the pdf file (my default viewer is adobe acrobat) it opens the file instantly with the print dialog open.

I have tried about:config booleans regarding opening and downloading pdfs

I have tried checking firefox settings and there is only "always ask", "save file" and "adobe acrobat" options and no "open in firefox" option and when i make it "always ask" and choose "open in firefox" from that option it just repeatedly gives me the "ask" window on new tabs each time i click ok.

I have also checked popups for gmail, they were not blocked so i have disabled and re-unblocked popups from gmail site

it works on every other site but gmail which is the main place i need to print files from.

Some faces of a 3d box are now invisible. The HTML is correct and the Inspector shows the faces in pale blue correctly. This worked for many months before the latest update to Firefox. I tried it in Safari and it worked, but I am used to Firefox. I tried Firefox for Developers and it worked until the update today, 5/1/26. Please help.

Some web sites such as Amazon have an options bars to select items like 'review order'. When the web page first comes up, they show white in the dark bar. But Firefox is immediately changing the white to purple so that it is almost impossible to read. I haven't been able to find anything in settings to correct this. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.

Hello, I am trying to login to my account on www.zazzle.com and use their site. Sometimes it will let me through and I can be on the site for about 20 minutes before a captcha comes up that says press and hold this button so we know you are not a bot. Well the button never works, it always errs out and gives me the message to please try again, and then locks me out of their site. I have tried clearing my cache and cookies, updating my browser, resetting the router, I don't have any VPN's, I have tried working in a private window, adding the website to the privacy exceptions, block pop up windows is unchecked, I am out of ideas, what do I do??

GM,

An individual website keeps defaulting to, and loading in, the German (https://de.website name here) language version. This has never, ever occurred previously. I have had no success in resetting the website back to the setting(s) which would have it load the page(s) in English, NOT German.

Thanks.

Facebook page fails to fully load often (not always) and in some occasions it load partially -instead of a picture it shows a blank box with a description of what it is supposed to be on the box.

Using other browser (Edge for example) loads the page fine in the affected Laptop and loading on an IPad using Firefox works fine too.

I have "flushed" the WI-Fi and "requested" a new IP for this computer and it is hard to tell if this solves the problem temporary or it is just the on-off nature of the problem.

In other occasions the page appears to load ok but the pull down menu (like notifications) are "blank" or it just appears to be loading and never navigate to the requested page.

In the sample below (image) is similar to the issue although in this case the page loaded after a few seconds. Note the missing information.

Dans free.tv pourquoi la suppression des sous-titres ne fonctionne pas problème Mozilla ou Free.tv ?

I'm seeing a new trend with websites that use cloudflare like restaurant accounts, Ace Hardware, and freecycle.org. Cloudflare either rejects me upon clicking it (freecycle), or it keeps cycling with its checkbox and doesn't do anything else (Hyatt). I contacted freecycle.org and they didn't know the reason. However, I can get through cloudflare using the Chrome browser. Is this fixable, because I really want to stay with Firefox? I am up to date on my drivers, Win10, and Firefox. Thanks!

Practice page in freecodecamp.com is not appearing. I have tried all the help articles but it is not resolving. I have attached screen shot also. There is data above the marker I have put. It is not going up. Please help

On all our computers it seems impossible to sign into Outlook...several laptops and 3 desktop...even a new Apple device. Enter your email address and then taken to the next page (see attachment). sign in works with Edge! This has been happening for maybe a month. Very frustrating! NEVER opens the next security window, the 'spots' just keep moving forever...selecting "Back" just repeats the cycle.

I can not access my att.net account. Do I have a setting set incorrectly. I have to go to Microsoft Edge in order to login. When I contacted ATT via phone they said I had to use Microsoft Edge to login. Can you advise me how to correct the situation. I don't use Edge for any other reason. Thanks

I am using Firefox desktop on Windows 11. I have downloaded hundreds of articles from this website, with no problem until yesterday. I accessed the website using Edge, and it worked fine.

When trying to access a particular article to download it to Ancestry, the following message appears:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

I accessed the browser console for more information, which I'm sure someone can understand, but not this grandma. This is what I got:

I really don't want to stop using Firefox, but I need a usable browser. Can you help me?
