I cant get Pandora to load with Firefox . I am in Mexico and have been using the Browsec VPN to listen to Pandora and all of a sudden it stopped loading. I get the blue screen with Pandora logo but it doesnt go past that. Pandora works on Edge with the same VPN Browsec .

Firefox not responding. I have tried everything on the Help pages. I have tried reset of everything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch. Still: when I open it: Firefox does not respond. And everything else also is very slow then. In Windows joblist I can see Firefox with 7-15 threads. One of them "not responding". I have no problems with Chrome nor Edge - W11, 16GB Ram

I am unable to open PDFs from my bank. I tried the following steps;

Change Default PDF Viewer:

   Go to Firefox Settings.
   Scroll down to the Applications section.
   Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list.
   Change the action to Open in Firefox or Preview in Firefox.

Clear Bank Cache/Cookies:

   Go to Settings > Privacy & Security.
   Select Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data.
   Search for your bank's website and clear its data.

I am hoping that a permanent fix can be made to the bookmarks toolbar issue where another program may be using a file that allows it to show at the top of my screen. It keeps disappearing and I complete a fix and it disappears later in the week. Thanks Brian

bold textI do not remember ever having a Mozilla master password. Because I do not remember having a master password I do not have a recovery key. How can I find these if they do in fact exist/

I have updated today 2-7-2026 Read Aloud on Windows 11. It said I needed to allow permissions on 3 things. 2 of those things on the same page had slider controls for permission which I turned on. The 3rd thing is not present. It is supertonic.ttstool.com

I want to make sure my new update to Read Aloud will continue to work well. I have low vision and use this add-on a lot.

I'd like to know how to check that Read Aloud has the permission it needs for supertonic.ttstool.com

I can't pull up the original screen or I'd tell you what the other two were. One I think had to do with permission while navigating.

Thanks.

Hi

I have tried to launch Firefox a number of times today and every time it has frozen and does not respond. When trying to select the option of opening the software in Troubleshoot mode, once again the software freezes and I am unable to open the software in Troubleshoot mode . I have tried shutting and re-opening both the software and my laptop but this does not resolve the issue. Can you please either resolve the issue of the software freezing or tell me how I can resolve the issue.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Firefox as my primary browser and overall it works great, but I’ve noticed a slowdown pattern during longer sessions and wanted to compare notes with the community.

After running the browser for several hours with many tabs open, I sometimes see delayed responses when switching tabs, typing in text fields, or opening menus. Nothing crashes, but the interface feels heavier until I restart the browser. Once restarted, performance goes back to normal.

I’ve already tried reviewing extensions, disabling a few that I don’t use often, and checking memory usage in about:performance. The numbers go up as expected with more tabs, but I’m not sure how to judge what is considered normal versus problematic.

Because the issue improves after restart, I’m wondering whether this is typical resource buildup, session handling, or something specific I should be tuning.

How do experienced users usually approach diagnosing gradual slowdowns like this? Are there particular indicators in the built-in tools that suggest a real problem rather than expected behavior?

While reading more about how browsers manage memory over time, I found this general explanation helpful for understanding the bigger picture:

I was using Firefox just fine during the day. My laptop switched off with Firefox still open (was simply doing sth else). When I switched my laptop back on and opened Firefox I was signed out of my account. When I signed back in all my profiles and bookmarks were gone. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Installing firefox on my new device: Not all of my bookmarks are uploading from firefox on my other device.

It uploads a really old version of the tool bar even tough it shows in the HTML folder I am importing from my other device that the updated links are in the tool bar category.
