Firefox Support Forum

A lot of times while coding I press Ctrl+S to save Visual Studio Code and update live server (while watching on firefox the result). The problem is that when I'm focused on Firefox Ctrl+S pops up the Save Page window and (if I held Ctrl+S for more than a split second) it crashes (probably due to multiple popups becoming unresponsive). The mouse can't click to cancel the pop ups for saving the page nor interact it. I have to kill the firefox process and restart it. I've been looking into disabling Ctrl+S shortcut in Firefox with no success (extensions are deprecated or require too many permissions I'm not comfortable with).

Would someone help me to disable Ctrl+S or enlighten me on how to not have firefox crash every time I accidentally press Ctrl+S?

Thanks!

while I was running a game on steam (Apex legends), and Firefox on my other screen, I was using too much memory, so the steam game and Firefox crashed. The game works fine, but Firefox won't load anything, Except for settings and the "About:" pages. When I try to visit a website it does not even attempt to load it, but the website does show up in my history. I've restarted Firefox, I have reinstalled Firefox, I have restarted my computer, I've cleared my cookies and cache history, but no websites will load and it will only run properly in troubleshooting mode. Oddly enough it won't load any websites but while I'm in the add-on manager I can download extensions.

Hello,

I recently updated Firefox to Version 100.0 and Search functionality has been compromised.

1) On a New Tab, even if I place the cursor in the Google search pane in the window, anything I type goes directly into the web address bar (sorry I do not know the proper name for the URL text box at the top of the browser.)

2) If I search for "Boston Celtics", the URL box changes to: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=boston+celtics , but the browser never opens the Google results page, and never goes to a result.

3) The Browser will NOT open google.com. It just freezes

4) Basically, I can no longer use Google, and that is a problem for me.

When I check for Firefox updates, it says that I am up to date.

I would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Without Google search, I will likely be forced to use another browser and I have been a longtime fan of Firefox.

Since upgrading to 100, I am unable to log in to Florida Unemployment site. I have followed all their recommendations and still am unable to access. Also, when I click on an item, new tab is opening in place of one I clicked on instead of new tab.

Example: If I start typing in the address bar and type the letter a... amazon.com comes up since I frequent there a lot. But, if I start typing the name of my bank nothing comes up in the address bar. I always have to type it out.

Hi! Upgrading to version 100 has made Firefox completely unusable for me. Every time I open it, the "Password required" popup appears, which is normal. However, whether I enter my primary password or click "Cancel", the popup goes to the background and I cannot close it, nor click on anything in the app. In fact, I cannot even close the app except from the upper menu bar (I'm on OSX). See the attached screenshot to get an idea. Please help!!!

The title already says it all. Whenever i have some sound or video running in any tab, clicking on certain things like other videos or animated stuff in the same tab or another one causes a small interruption in the sound/video. Clicking a lot of times results in sound and video stuttering. I does not appear when i just click another link.

I already tried updating firefox, reinstall firefox, even downgrading firefox. This problem only appears in firefox and only on this device. I would be very thankfull for some advices, because this is really annoying.

The page I was on randomly crashed earlier today, and now every time I try to open another webpage, it crashes within 1-5 seconds of when I try to open it. I have tried restarting Firefox and running it in troubleshooting mode, neither of which helped. My Firefox version is up-to-date, and I have never had this issue before; I'm also not getting the "crash reporter" dialogue so I don't have access to information about the crashes, even through the Finder library. I'm not sure what's going on?

Hello,

I've identified a 1-2 seconds jank when I open a page containing a .webm player. This was a trial and error kind of thing but eventually, I realized that was the common pattern among the pages that were giving problems.

I ran the profiler and it's very clearly visible when the problem arises but here my knowledge of Firefox and its tooling falls short and I don't know how to find the root cause of the issue, that probably is not an extension since it appears on different Firefox accounts and in incognito mode.

My laptop set-up is practically identical to that of my PC, but the latter doesn't exhibit the same malfunction.

I've tried anything I could, including reinstalling the browser, removing all of my bookmarks (about 10,000) and addressing extensions (Decentraleyes, Default Bookmark Folder, Disable Tab Detach, Flagfox, I don't care about cookies, Keepa, Notifier for Gmail, Privacy Badger, To Google Translate, uBlock Origin, Undo Close Tab, Video DownloadHelper and Youtube's Annotations No More), but not even safe mode improved the situation in the least. Windows Defender also hasn't detected any malware and my web surfing habits are as safe as it gets.

The only deeper data I could gather is that the problem manifests with a progressive, rapid surge in CPU and RAM usage; the former, for example, is saturated to its total 16 GB in a matter of about 20 seconds.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7586 with Windows 11 64 bit; Firefox version is the latest, 100.0, and, by the way, none of the recent updates has improved the situation.

Thanks to anyone who might come up with an educated guess!

Various online booking sites will format blocks of key information as large images and Firefox* never prints such pages correctly. The problem seems to occur when an image is split between one page and the next. I've attached two small images of the top of the page as displayed in Firefox and the print preview for that page. The page has two buttons ("Map It" and "add to Apple Wallet") that are forced off of page one but do not appear on page two. Page two prints as shown -- blank with only header and footer lines -- and the information that should be on page two (including any text) is omitted. I've had the same issue for several years. This includes several Firefox versions, several printer manufacturers (Cannon, Epsom, and HP), and a number of OS updates. I am absurdly loyal to Firefox (dunno why) but I keep having to switch to Edge whenever I need to print a complex web page. I keep hoping that the problem will be fixed.

Afte a while , when i open a new tab and enter a "word/phrase" the tab wont do anything - not search, not open wesites, or google it automaticaly on enter. I have to close and open the browser to be able to use it again. I have allready fresh install, i have change the appblocker, logout and more setings but I have no solution yet. Maybe there is an log to look up to see where the problem persists. Thank you!

My application www.myfloorschedule.com has always worked well with Firefox. Beginning last month users report that they are being taken back to the home page while trying to work in the application. This occurs intermittently. Internally, our code does returns you to the home page when the session variable is null. I am able to replicate this problem. It occurs all the time when I turn on strict privacy. But with strict privacy off, it still occurs, although not on every page, all the time.

I suspect Firefox because testing with Chrome and Edge give no similar problem.

Thanks for any ideas on this. Terence
