Firefox Community Forum

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.

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

Hi,

On my "new tab" page, the "add a shortcut" button is missing. I can pin, unpin, move, and dismiss shortcuts freely, but only those which automatically appear. Unfortunately the page I'd like to pin is not in the auto-generated shortcuts list (even expanded to 4 lines). It is in my recently bookmarked pages, but the context menu there does not allow adding it to the shortcuts. I use Windows, Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-13) (64-bit).

Thanks for any help, Pat

Unfortunately, my workflow involves dealing with multiple PDF files per day. However, for some reason, Firefox's behavior with regards to PDF files is inconsistent.

• If I set the Action to Save File, Firefox downloads all PDF files, including those that it can normally open in the browser when I click a link (e.g. files hosted in servers that allow direct access to PDF files). As such, my Downloads folder is cluttered and needs to be cleaned regularly to delete the PDF files that were downloaded even if I could have opened them in the browser.
• If I set the Action to Open in Firefox, Firefox can now open those hosted PDF files in the browser instead of downloading them to disk. However, every time I download a file, Firefox then opens the file in Firefox after downloading, even though I need to edit the PDF file somewhere else.

Would it be possible to set Firefox's behavior so that it does BOTH of these things:

1. Open PDF files that can be opened in the browser without downloading in Firefox without needing to be downloaded, AND
2. Do not open downloaded PDF files in Firefox after downloading is complete.

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

Recently, i had to use a public pc in my workplace for a while. i used Firefox to access the internet, and for practical reason, i signed in my Firefox account. After i was done, i made sure i have signed out my Firefox account before leaving. The next day, when i used Firefox again on that pc, i noticed that all my saved passwords (from syncing my Firefox account) were still in that Firefox browser, even though i haven't signed in my Firefox account. Now i feel like i am at the mercy of fate because anybody who used that pc after me yesterday could have gained access to all my passwords. So far, nothing bad happens and i hope it stays that way.

I don't know if anyone has brought this up. Since Firefox does not erase any saved password after a user signs out, I think Firefox should, or rather, MUST give a warning message after a user signs out of Firefox to manually erase any saved password on Firefox, so that any stupid user like me will not make that stupid mistake so easily.

We have been using firefox as our default browser for over Ten years. We have several internal web pages created with google sites, with simple google sheets containers that have been working fine in that period. As of two days ago, the pages started displaying incorrectly in firefox as shown in attachments. Have tried disabling trackers and extensions and emptied cache as well as making sure firefox is fully up to date. This is happening on multiple terminals at several locations. Safari and chrome browsers work fine. Any troubleshooting help appreciated or if this is a known bug?

I have a development copy of my website that I run directly from my local disk. I have indexes with links to pages that I load in frames. When the target is another frame, the link will not work. This stopped working when I did the last update to Version 134.0.1 The links work when I load my online version from HostGator.

Firefox opens only to a blank page and does not function what so ever. I've tried several times refreshing it, however, nothing helps. Point of interest is Microsoft Edge won't open either and I am currently using Opera which is working fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I play online bridge sharing the mic between the bridge app and Firefox. It works most of the time but occasionally Firefox ends the sharing for no reason. The settings are not changed.

I have a number in a circle showing up on the Firefox icon on my taskbar. For a while it was a number 1, then that went away. Now I have a number 5 in a circle on the icon.

Home screen shows: Error: Platform version '130.0.1' is not compatible with minVersion >=130.0 maxVersion <=130.0

My account indicates I am up to date with version 134.0.2 (64bit)

In addition, today all tabs are broken

When I click on a website the page is completely blank. Not loading, no error message, just white. It happens on a lot of web pages but not all of them. Youtube is fine but a lot of others dont. there doesnt seem to be any pattern to the type of websites that dont work. sometimes the website will work the first time but if I close the tab and then click on the link again it wont work. It seems like the code of the website has somehow been deleted? (see photos). Ive tried disabling literally every extension I have and reloading the page but nothing happens.

for about a month my firefox home screen is greyed out in the "thought provoking stories" and it is continuously flashing. Everything works, ie. I can still search the net, etc. but this is driving me crazy. I have tried everything from checking settings, through extension conflicts and resetting, but nothing makes any difference. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it came back with the same problem. i have windows 10 and am getting ready to upgrade to 11, but I would like everything working as it should before doing the upgrade. I even tried to change my profile, but I'm not sure how to do it and it made no difference. Any help will be much appreciated.

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.
