Firefox Community Forum

I was trying to fix a problem with eBay where I was unable to send a message to a seller. (A problem I have since discovered had nothing to do with Firefox it has to do with eBay). I had asked GPTchat for suggestions and it had me open a terminal and run some commands (don't remember what it was). while running this command we lost power and since then I cannot resize a Firefox window. However other windows like Dolphin or LibreOffice are unaffected. All else appears to run fine

I am on a web page and right click & select "View Page Source" that then opens in a NEW TAB with the source code. Then CTL F and select the string "mp3" to find. This then takes me to a position 142 characters to the right of the actual "mp3" location. Skipping back to actual location the "mp3" now appears as "blank". Very strange!!

My computer is telling me I have another device working and I am unable to update. I don't know where to go and it turns and turns and turns before anything downloads at all.

OLD firefox data is being created automatically if we are deleting its stil get created again in desktop no profile setting found on fixfox browser In sycn option also not account is added.

Current version of Firefox from 2025, when I save as the screen is maximized without the conventional restore maximize icons in the top right corner of the window the way it's been for the last thousand years or since Windows 95. I found an old post that solved the problem which is, right click on the top menu and you'll see a drop-down restore move size maximize close. Well that's great but that is a Firefox concoction that is not standard practice. Fine to keep it but can you please also add the normal icons that we've all been used to since the beginning of the computer era? Thank you

Help me figure out how to get the space bar operating again. This just happened after I installed the latest update. I’m having to write this in a word application and then paste into your question box because the bar doesn’t work.

Good Morning,

Since the last update of Firefox, the functions usually availablewith the right click no longer work. And the drop down menu, the menu bar buttons are inactive.

How to solve this problem please?

Hi everyone,

I've been experiencing an issue with Firefox recently. When I use "Command + Left Click" to open a link in a new tab, it sometimes opens two identical tabs instead of one. Interestingly, this doesn't happen on all websites—it seems to occur mainly when using search engines, such as when clicking on search results. This problem doesn't occur in other browsers like Safari or Chrome.

Could this be due to a setting in Firefox, or is there another possible cause? Any advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I use Firefox all the time, love it. But I have noticed a problem.

If I have say 7 tabs open, none of them doing anything, then go away from my laptop for say 20 minutes, when I come back the fans on the laptop are screaming. Even if it was minimise.

I have a fairly modern laptop Dell GSeries1522, 12th gen processor, 16gb ram, i7.

I have tested this issue using Edge and Chrome with exactly the same tabs open and the laptop is all quiet. I'm on the precipice of moving to Edge. Happy to provide more information. Task Manager now shows FF using 1223.0mb of memory, Edge 466.7mb. They are both in "efficiency mode".

Any help or advice would be great.

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing some performance and connectivity issues with Mozilla Firefox lately and could use some advice. The browser is becoming slow, especially when opening multiple tabs, and I’m also noticing intermittent connection problems while browsing certain websites.

Here’s a breakdown of the issues I’m facing:

Slow Performance: Firefox takes a long time to load, and scrolling through pages feels laggy at times. Connectivity Problems: Some websites take longer than usual to load, or I get timeouts, even though my internet connection seems fine on other devices. High Resource Usage: Task Manager shows Firefox using a lot of CPU and memory, which could be contributing to the slowness. I’ve tried clearing cache and disabling extensions, but the problem persists. Has anyone faced similar issues? Any suggestions on improving performance or fixing these connectivity problems?

I’m using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to switch back to Firefox after having used it once before. However, I am unable to use the browser at all. I have to run it with administrator permissions for it to even open, and when it does open, I am met with a completely blank grey screen with nothing but my bookmarks. I cannot click any bookmarks, nor can I click anything on the sidebar [passwords, account, etc.] I can't search anything, and I can't use direct links.

I have uninstalled four times using Revo Uninstaller, removed all lingering data all four times, refreshed the browser, refreshed my account, changed my account password, run troubleshooting mode, updated my computer, updated my drivers, and updated the app. Absolutely nothing has worked, and I am still unable to use it.

I'm not sure what else I can do.

Firefox worked fine for 3 days on my New win 11 computer. then a white screen but still worked OK .However was now loaded by a third party "quit-hp.com/Firefox and the original program has been removed from my apps. So am unable to clean up the mess and cannot block the app from the computer. My first option is to use Malawarebyte and and HitmanPro to clean up the disk or a complete uninstal and reinstall win 11. this scam is hitching a ride on firefox and pretending to be part of the installation. I am prevented from copying the full address of 3rd party to this post.

Did something just happen, 02/24 10am, with Firefox or Windows 10, to make the computer reboot itself? Why did my Windows 10 computer just reboot itself, even reopened the Firefox browser?
