Firefox Community Forum

We use an external system for our general day to day business, which has links on the customer details for email. This launches Thunderbird, and puts the email add. in the to field. Is there a way I can get thunderbird to use a template when it receives this command from the external program? The address changes each time, but I want to use the same template to speed up a process.

Using the browser Firefox when Claude is answering questions every 3-4 responses will hang and the response will consume up to 98% of the cpu as well as 600 to 700 MB of memory. The only recovery is to kill the tab. The CPU is : Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 185H 3.10 GHz With 64GB ram Using Firefox version 139.0.1 I had Claude switch to only respond with plain text and the issue continued. The issue also occurred during a discussion with Claude about this issue which confirmed it was a Firefox-specific problem with Claude's interface. It during his response, it's likely related to the real-time text streaming or DOM updates.

I am having a problem with FireFox: using DuckDuckGo as a search engine I only get a white page with a search window at the top as a result. DuckDuckGo works fine in Safari as I am typing this. Other search engines work fine in FireFox.

I have tried running FireFox in troubleshoot mode and then manually disabling extensions one by one but the issue persists. It makes no difference whether I am using the URL box, the search box or the DuckDuckGo website: the result is always the same. I am not using Metamask and I have no VPN installed.

Any idea is greatly appreciated.

Hi Team,

I’ve successfully built Firefox v135 from source on our internal development RISC-V64 platform running on Ubuntu 22.04 with GNOME 42.9 (Xorg & Wayland), Our RISC-V Development platform does include a GPU HW which support HW Acceleration for GNOME & other 3rd Apps (Supporting X & Wayland), and Work seamlessly without any issues.

The FireFox v135 Application (via ./mach run) starts up normally. But the major issue I'm observing is that Firefox browser is very slow and laggy, especially during search operations and video playback on YouTube I see a poor performance. Upon further check I found that the most of the work is getting done over the CPU and the utilization is quite high, which is causing the FireFox to perform poorly. I also did try to switching to "Use hardware acceleration when available" in the Mozilla FireFox Settings, but still there is no difference with or without this check and Mozilla FireFox browsing Experience is very poor.

Kindly do let me know how we can enhance and improve the overall performance of FireFox Browsing Experience on my RISC-V platform. Any Support and Help is highly appreciative!

Attached a Build Steps and Configuration used for building Mozilla FireFox v135 on my RISC-V64 platform, let us know if there is anything missed. Thank you!

**BUILD STEPS**

1. Clone the Firefox source (v135.0.1):

git clone --branch FIREFOX_135_0_1_RELEASE --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox.git cd firefox

2. Install required dependencies:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y curl python3-dev libnspr4 libgtk-3-dev llvm-14 llvm-dev clang libclang-dev libx11-xcb-dev libevent-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev m4 libnspr4-dev meson

3. Install Rust:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh source $HOME/.cargo/env

4. Install Python and Rust-related tools:

pip install --upgrade pip pip install uniffi-bindgen referencing==0.29.1 cargo install cbindgen

5. Apply the RISC-V compatibility patch:

patch -Np1 -i firefox-riscv64-hack.patch

6. Create the mozconfig file with custom build options:

ac_add_options --with-app-name=firefox ac_add_options --disable-release ac_add_options --enable-hardening ac_add_options --enable-rust-simd ac_add_options --enable-linker=bfd ac_add_options --disable-bootstrap ac_add_options --enable-official-branding ac_add_options --with-branding=browser/branding/official ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=release ac_add_options --with-unsigned-addon-scopes=app,system ac_add_options --allow-addon-sideload ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk3-wayland ac_add_options --with-system-zlib ac_add_options --disable-strip ac_add_options --disable-install-strip ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi ac_add_options --with-system-libevent ac_add_options --with-system-nspr

1. ac_add_options --with-system-nss

ac_add_options --disable-updater ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --enable-alsa ac_add_options --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries

7. Vendor Rust dependencies:

./mach vendor rust --ignore-modified

8. Upgrade Cairo from 1.16.0 to 1.18.4:

1. Extract and build Cairo 1.18.4

tar -xvf cairo-1.18.4.tar.xz cd cairo-1.18.4 mkdir build && cd build meson .. --prefix=/usr/local ninja sudo meson install

9. Build Firefox:

cd firefox ./mach build

Hello, I have a web application that can send a base64 data, it crashes in mswsock.dll when data is big than 3Mo. I don't face this issue on other browsers. Appreciate in advance your help.

bonjour cela fait plusieurs fois que je ne peux accéder a certains sites à cause d un bloqueur de publicité j ai trouvé des solutions sur internet mais je ne trouve pas ad blocker sur mon pc . pouvez vous me guider s il vous plait

when I play a product video on amazon, I get the following error. I don't have a problem with another browser.

The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support. this is a linux mint desktop.

thanks.

Sucessfully installed Firefox 139.0.3 armv7 nodpi on an Android 5.1 tablet device, but no matter what website I try to access (even Google), a plain black screen is always displayed. Homepage and Settings page works fine, even those history thumbnails are showing the website correctly. If I click on the address bar to type something, it then suddenly changes from black to the actual website for a blink of a second and then gets black again.

Is there a way to fix this? Firefox Focus, Beta and Nightly behaviors the same. I already tried to uninstall and clearing data/cache. It seems a bug with this specific tablet device I am using even though it shouldn't, since Android 5.1 is still supported, isn't?

I created a tab group and saved it. After saving I confirmed it was inn the toolbar location. I used it this morning successfully. Just now I closed all my tabs in order to shut down. Doing so eliminated the tab group. It is no longer available from the toolbar. What happened?

A few weeks ago I tried installing a Pi-Hole (hardware-based network level ad blocker), removed it shortly thereafter. Since then, I've been getting the "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network" screen whenever performing a Google search from Firefox in Private mode, either from the toolbar or from the website. It only happens on Firefox (nothing from Chrome incognito windows), only happens in Private windows, and recurs every hour or so within the same open private window.

I've tried everything to reset my system to baseline to root out the issue, but I'm getting nowhere. Things that haven't worked:

• setting all VPN and proxy settings to off
• ensured all DNS settings are set to automatic
• renewing IP (IPv4 and IPv6, via command window and leaving router/modem unplugged overnight and verifying new dynamic IP assigned)
• clearing all browser data (cache, history, cookies)
• disabling all extensions (Ad Block Plus is my only extension)
• refreshing Firefox (about:support > refresh Firefox...)
• hard router reset
• different network device
• multiple malware scans (all clean)

Is there anything specific to Firefox and how it handles Private connections that might be throwing a wrench here? I'm pulling my hair out.

Firefox is running on the front, while I am RDP doing something else, it suddenly prompt for requesting to send cert, I am curious what's it. I did not do anything.

suspend any 3rd party addon, but not sure the way to nail down the issue.

I'm looking for a solution to an annoying bug in Firefox on Windows 11. The taskbar won't hide when I go into fullscreen on videos (e.g. YouTube).

The issue is directly tied to hardware acceleration.

This doesn't happen in Chrome, and I've already tried reinstalling Firefox and updating all my drivers and Windows. Does anyone know of a fix for this bug?

The "import bookmarks" doesn't work on my ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS running on an old macbook air. I exported bookmarks from my chrome. when i try the import from file, it says "bookmarks exported successfully", but the bookmarks don't show up anywhere. attached screenshots. what am i missing? thanks, Nilesh
