I just updated my macbook to the most recent OS, and since updating, and updating both Firefox and my VPN (PIA VPN), firefox has ceased loading pages while my vpn is active. It's not my internet connection, as other internet applications like Discord, Steam, and Spotify have continued to work while the VPN is active with no issue. This problem only seems to be affecting, and therefore must be the result of, something wrong with Firefox.

I tried rebooting my computer, which briefly worked but after a short while, opening new tabs or navigating links on webpages stopped working again fairly quickly. When I try to open a new webpage the loading symbol appears over the tab icon for a split second and then vanishes, the webpage remaining the same; and when trying to open links in a new tab they do not load and the little "lock" symbol in the search bar appears crossed out, indicating the browser is not establishing a secure connection.

I tried just restarting the app itself, using troubleshooting mode, and clearing my cache as well, but every one hit the same dead end. 

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Precursor to this was a couple of Firefox crashes, likely(?) related to insufficient disk space. With this now remediated, am seeing the same CODESIGNING error. Then reinstalled Firefox afresh; same findings.

Have also tried to boot directly into Profile manager, with the same error.

Then disabled all extensions (an experiment?) in the Mozilla/Extensions folder by renaming it. No Joy.

Given above, I cannot now log into Firefox now to examine any aspect of configuration which I might change/disable.

Of great concern would be salvage of the password store and a very large bookmarks collection.

Hi I need to run multiple firefox instances, each with a dedicated profile The following used to work before version 121 on MacOS: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -p &

The above method is not perfect, but it works. Since Firefox upgraded to 121, the above method stopped working.

Any way to launch multiple instances as before? Hate to switch to Chrome, but Chrome allow you to switch easily.

Hello,

We are currently facing an issue with our website: https://ebanking.denizbank.at/BAC/BecomeACustomer.aspx?lang=de We utilize Google Analytics in this project and have included all the necessary URLs in the Content Security Policy tag. Everything is functioning perfectly on Chrome and Edge, but we encounter an error on Firefox (as shown in the attached screenshot). We have already added the URL that is causing the error on Firefox, and interestingly, Firefox is the only browser where this problem persists.

Could you please assist us in resolving this issue?

Hello! I have a laptop with switchable graphics (Radeon 780M + RTX 3050) and connected via USB-C Dock (HP Universal USB-C Dock) to DisplayPort Monitor (Lenovo 27inch).

When I play a video - there is no hardware decoding process therefore CPU running on 50%. I opened about:support - and checked Codec Support Information - all codecs are software decoded only.
Then I checked recognized graphics adapters - 
```
"adapterDescription": "DisplayLink USB Device",
   "adapterVendorID": "0x000b",
   "adapterDeviceID": "0x000b",
   "adapterSubsysID": "0000000b",
   "adapterRAM": 0,
   "adapterDrivers": "Unknown",
   "driverVendor": "",
   "driverVersion": "",
   "driverDate": "",
   "adapterDescription2": "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU",
   "adapterVendorID2": "0x10de",
   "adapterDeviceID2": "0x25e2",
   "adapterSubsysID2": "3b1217aa",
   "adapterRAM2": 4096,

``` And viola - there is no integrated graphics adapter. seems like a Firefox doesn't know about it behind USB-C Dock.

Hi..!!!

After 9 or 10 days... I stop browsing... I can't access the internet or the router... but I can ping everything and I can also browse with Opera from where I am writing this

I'm currently using a portable version... but I've also tried the installed version (both updated to 121.0)

If I log out it doesn't work either...it only works when I restart the PC...but I don't want to restart every 10 days

Right now it has failed...after 9 days 20 hours

Any ideas on something I can try...now that it's not working?

Thank you

Hello,

But for some reason just a 2 days ago it was actually working with Firefox running at 144hz / fps no matter if the Game in the background was at even 8fps (WoW). Anyway to make Firefox the focus of Gsync when i have Firefox in the foreground?

With the latest update, a bug appears to have made its way into Firefox for Mac. Here's the procedure to reproduce this bug:

  1. Open Firefox in fullscreen mode by clicking on the green button.
  2. In fullscreen mode, close all the open tabs. You should now return to the regular desktop.
  3. Wait a few seconds. The menu bar no longer works, and neither do the keyboard shortcuts.

In fact, if you immediately click on "File" or any menu other than "Window" after the switch to the desktop, you'll still see the menu, but it will disappear after a second or two. The keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore, either, and you cannot get a new window to open by switching to another app and back via the keyboard (Cmd+Tab). The only workarounds I have found so far:

  • Quit the app and then reopen it. Everything works again as expected.
  • Click on the app icon in the dock, which forces it to reload the menu bar.

Note that this happens with Firefox 121.0 running on macOS 14.2.1.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Why does Firefox use roughly 20x more RAM than Brave for the same tabs? And what can be done?

In practice, for a dozen or two tabs, Firefox uses 4-7 GB of RAM, where Brave uses 300-400 MB. This sometimes gets me to using all of my 16 GB of RAM without having more than a browser & a few apps.


Hardware : recent Dell Inspiron 16 Plus (7620) with SSD, 16 GB DDR 4800 Mhz, decent i5 CPU and 6GB of dedicated GPU RAM - it's a pretty fast laptop.

Hello, I did an update in the middle of December. Then Firefox suggested a clean-up which I agreed to. As a result, I have lost many accesses to websites and also access to Metamask. Apparently I wrote down the wrong seed phrase for Metamask so that I can no longer create the account. My question: can I reset Firefox so that I can get back to an old version where all my access data is available? LG
