A pain in the ass I do not want updates I have it marked on settings every update I get screws up computer I do not do a lot except stock market then take a nap I am 88 and not interested in playing games or silly stuff

I've got an Angular project running locally on my machine (https://localhost:4300 using NodeJS 24.11.1 and Angular 20.3.0) and I can't get it to consistently load files for me when I refresh the page.

The network call shows the response coming back, but I'm getting a red ban icon in the Status column instead of 200. Sometimes it's styles.css and nothing looks right. Sometimes it's polyfills.js and I get an error in the console about "In this configuration Angular requires Zone.js". Sometimes, it's one or many chunk-*.js files. Sometimes, it goes back and forth about which it doesn't want to load. And then sometimes, everything is fine. When it fails, it takes between 1 and 20-some-odd refreshes of the page to get it to load properly. The passage of time doesn't seem to make a difference, as sometimes I can recompile the project and jump right into Firefox and it loads fine. Other times, it will only load after I've refreshed multiple times. If it's a JS file that fails, I also see a warning in the console window about "Loading failed for the script with source [filename]".

I've added an exception for the SSL certificate. CTRL+F5 doesn't make a difference in the behavior. The only extensions I have running are LastPass and Bitwarden. The only plugins I have in place are "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." and "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc." I've disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site. I've rebooted and restarted everything.

Any ideas what might cause this? The other developers on the team don't have this issue. I'm using "ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --ssl xxx-app-name-xxx --live-reload false" to run my environment. What should I be looking for on my machine that might cause this type of intermittent failure?

A user I am servicing uses Firefox every day. They are on Windows 11. Every afternoon (sometimes at other times), Firefox stops working and loses its internet connection (everything else on their computer continues to be connected). When they close and restart Firefox to reconnect, it then tells me the user that they are using an old profile and need to create a new one. They're able to re-log into their Firefox account, which eventually resyncs all their data, but they then have to re-sign into everything, which is a major inconvenience. The only workaround the I have found is to reinstall Firefox, ever time this happens which then allows the user to use all their settings until they have to repeat the process the next day (i.e., everything remains signed in and/or logging back in is easier than described above).

Here's some additional information and trouble testing we've conducted:

Uninstall and Reinstall of Fire fox

Check for updates (Updated to new version and still suffered the same issue)

Cleared cache and cookies

No extensions

Please if anyone has any advice or recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

I made my post originally on the 3/9/26 but no one has gotten back to me, so I am creating another post.

i do use ad blockers "experiencing problems find out why "well,of course lol. I know this ,but when i shut down the browser & re launch the browser it won't initiate/execute. not matter what I do. I then run the DISM script and she (firefox) fires back up again. Any insight or work around to fix this this nagging problem would be greatly appreciated. Yeah, windows 11, 32 gig of ram, 60 mps down 75 up.

Downloaded recent Firefox update. Restarted PC. Logged into a site I use (and need this season). I could not even use a saved bookmark for login page. Cannot log in to it.

I added the site under Firefox settings option.

I tried logging in with Private mode, where I was able to use bookmark for login page. HOWEVER, I quickly experienced issues and got attached warnings. I reported 'site not working' on the debug option. While this usually immediately fixes a problem, it did nothing at all.

This is why I am always AFRAID of installing the "Updates" - I frequently lose functions. It takes as TREMENDOUS amount of time to fix them and there is no "help button" on Firefox or Mozilla to scan issue and fix it.

All of a sudden I can't download files from apps I use all the time... and download files from all the time. I just tried in Edge & I can download just fine. This just happened this morning. I downloaded multiple files yesterday within firefox & the same apps I'm running today.

I linked Google to open when I enter my Firefox browser and I want to delete Google and learn Firefox but I can’t get out of Google. How do I unlink it. From where ?

I can access my credit union using firefox on my phone, or even this computer when using MSN. I can NOT reach my credit union on this computer using firefox. I get a 403 forbidden message.

Steps to reproduce:

   Generate an image using Gemini Web.

   Right-click the generated image and select "Save image as...".

Actual results:

   The saved image file (which is around 8MB uncompressed) is frequently corrupted.

   There are noticeable pixel misalignments, visual glitches, and tearing across the image.

   Re-saving the exact same image causes the glitches to appear in different random locations, indicating an unstable data transfer from memory to disk.

   Sometimes, the saved filename gets appended with random gibberish characters (e.g., Gemini_Generated_Image_fuy00sfuy00sfuy0.jpg).

Expected results: The image should be saved completely without any data corruption or pixel misalignment.

Additional Context: > When performing the exact same action in Google Chrome, the browser negotiates a compressed format (around 2MB) and the image saves perfectly with 100% data integrity and no visual glitches. The issue seems isolated to how Firefox handles large image blob data saving.

bold textI have created a new profile, uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, flushed the DNS, always deleted cookies et al on closing. When I try and sign on I get a msg saying site unavailable, but when I go to the laptop sign on without any problems. Also on my desktop if I use Edge to logon to the site I am successful.

I tried a restore but the only date available for bookmarks was today (jsonlz4 file). I tried other online suggestions but I cannot locate any old files to restore from. If I cannot get them back, I will switch browsers because the loss is unacceptable.

Since the last update, some pictures do not show. For instance, in the News and Features Digest email that I receive, when I click on a headline to read article, any pictures do not show. It is just a big, blank, space. Also, for instance, some pictures on accuweather.com do not show, also on weatherbug.com. Even if I turn it off, the pictures do not show up. It seems the lastest update overwrote the shield in front of the address bar that I had set under Firefox settings, Privacy & Security, Enhanced Tracking Protection. I was able to turn off the shield and see what was being removed/blocked. Now that does not work. I understand you try to make Firefox as safe as possible by adding new features. However. I would like to remove whatever setting that shield has now installed with the latest update. I hope this makes sense.

My extension is enabled but site data permissions for its target websites are turned off by default for some users.

This causes the extension to silently do nothing on those sites until the user manually grants permissions..

is this a firefox issue and is there a way to prevent this .

my extension works fine on chrome.

Hey there. My old primary email address has been deleted, and I'm unable to check my inbox. Is there any way to change my primary address other than adding a secondary one? I can't access the verification code sent to my deleted address to complete the swap. Thank you in advance.

I am running the latest Firefox [v. 150.0.1 (64-bit)] on Windows 11. --- Earlier today, Firefox told me that I needed to restart my computer, so I did. After the restart, my star field theme (may not be correct name) is blinking and my laptop is running considerably slower. Thought maybe I needed to reboot completely but it is still blinking on and off and my laptop is still running slowly. Why and what do I do about it? --- TIA, KBo
