So, for awhile now when I go to some sites, the screen suddenly starts flashing, then it jitters and turns some light color (like a light green; not blue screen, not black). If I guess where the "X" is to shut down the tab that has the video, I can end this. Often, like on youtube, I find the problem is some ad video that was playing. The rest of the site is ok. But not always.

One site I wrote down a few days where it happened: https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-face-giants-2022-playoff-opener?cid=sm_npd_rsn_phi_fb_mn&fbclid=IwAR3rGUEa0W8fElrzCWANSIUpti9VKlbn0iHyvcFsviajYExo5tcRSyWBJXA

scroll down to video and everything blinks, becomes unuseable

It happens in lots of places, though. It is not per se a YouTube problem or just a problem at NBCSports. I shell out to MS Edge, and it seems to handle everything fine, so I'm assuming at this point it is a browser issue.

One last point: after this happen the screen display is degraded even after I manage to shut down the offending tab or video. It takes a Log off/log back in or reboot to fix everything. The degradation takes the form of making the screen look a bit like a pointilist painting, although that's an exaggeration.

FF 109.0.1 64 bit Windows 11 NVidia GeFORCE RTX 3060 running studio driver 526.98 (I have switched periodically from / to their gaming driver, which doesn't seem to matter)

Any help, appreciated.

Can't use Firefox to access make an appointment page: https://myappt.sdil.net/#/ Had to use Chrome (ugh!). Uploaded the Chrome page, but can't even upload the screenshot of the Firefox page (it's totally black) because the upload just spins when I try to upload it here!

Thanks for any help (or fixing whatever the problem is with Firefox)!

Hello, I use Ufile for my taxes. They weren't bad a few years back. For the past 3-4 years they have been a problem with their website not loading properly. They want you to use Chrome (as do more then a few websites). I don't like Chrome for privacy reasons. What do you suggest I do? Load Chrome for Ufile and then delete it. Can you suggest a tax website that works better with Fire Fox? Open to suggestions. Thanks in advance. Bob

Hi! I'm using Firefox 126.0 on Fedora 39.

Pages from Amazon.co.uk load very slowly, incompletely, or not at all. All other Web sites are fine.

I had a couple of certificate-related errors saying that the identity of the site couldn't be verified, but I can't reproduce the problem, so I can't quote the exact wording, I'm afraid.

The same Amazon pages load properly in Chrome on the same machine, and they load properly in Firefox in a VM on the same machine. That tells me network connectivity must be fine.

I've tried disabling all extensions, reverting to the default theme, running in Troubleshoot Mode, clearing cookies and site data, clearing the startup cache, disabling hardware acceleration, and creating a new profile. The new profile helps slightly, in that it loads more of the page before getting stuck. Nothing else helps at all.

I'd prefer not to refresh Firefox if I can avoid it, because I don't want to lose all my plugins and settings. This installation is five years old. Besides, a new profile didn't fix the problem.

What's the next thing to try? I'd really appreciate any ideas.

I have had 2 sites produce this error box in place of the target Web Site (See Picture). I have read previous topics about this and have followed the instructions with no positive results. FYI, clearing the web site's cookies, clearing Cache and disabling Hardware acceleration.

The first was https://www.walmart.com. After leaving a "Feedback" 2 weeks ago it appears as if they were able to fix the problem. However, the site is not as important as my Medicare PPO provider. I tried loading previous versions of Firefox, but that did not help.

In both instances the LOL "support" people's response was to try a different Browser. So, I reluctantly loaded Google Chrome and it worked perfectly. From my perspective, this eliminates everything to do with my machine setup.

Below is the sign-on URL (not unique to me). Please note that this 668 character URL has not changed for over a year. It is just Aetna's adoption of the Imperva Security Firewall. Both my Winders 8.1 and Winders 10 machines produce the identical results.

Hello, Since the version 128 (x86_64) on Windows 11, SSH links are no more opened with the user. The link tooltip at the bottom of the screen is showing the link without the user too. Ex: ssh://root@10.0.1.1 -> will open ssh://10.0.1.1 instead. Thank you in advance

Hi, out of nowhere my Firefox has stopped loading any pages for the past hour. I have read the existing community articles and cleared all of my history, cache, cookies, and restarted my computer 4 times. Firefox is up to date and was working fine up until I left my computer and returned to it an hour ago. I haven't downloaded anything new or clicked anything weird, I was just listening to a regular podcast this morning. All websites either show up as left-aligned text with no images, or are completely blank. This includes Gmail, Tumblr, Youtube, EyeBuyDirect, etc. All of these sites load perfectly in Edge so the issue is specific to Firefox. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit to Update: I turned off my AdBlock extensions one by one to narrow down the issue. The problem was AdBlocker Ultimate. I disabled it and now all my websites in Firefox are working as normal.

I am having issues signing in to the playstation store using firefox. It works on edge (although I have the same issue in ungoogled chromium). I have tried refreshing but that didn't work. I uninstalled it and deleted all mozilla folders in appdata, then tried again without signing in to my mozilla account on a fresh install but i'm still having the issue. It might be a windows configuration issue because I don't see why this would work on edge but not on firefox. I've tried disabling all cookie and tracking protection features but I still have the same issue.

I don't know what happened, I haven't been tinkering with anything. This happens for every video, not just this one. I've also posted my addons as well, in case that helps with anything.

For some reason I cannot type anything in Google Docs on the Firefox Desktop Browser. In fact, it seems like the browser doesn't recognize that I'm using Google Docs at all - in my attempts to see what was up I tried to bold a word to see what would happen, but the Ctrl + B shortcut opened the Firefox bookmarks tab instead. This is happening across all my Google Accounts, but only on Firefox and only in Docs - I can edit sheets and forms without issue, I can edit them all on my Android through the google apps, and I can edit them in another browser.

This is an issue that happened suddenly yesterday and I cannot think of anything that's caused it. I double checked that I had editing permissions on these docs, asked the people who owned them to remove me and re-add me but no luck. I have cleared cache and cookies, logged out and back, restarted the browser, and restarted my computer. Though I haven't changed anything with my extensions recently, I tried deactivating and reactivating everything I had. None of this caused any difference and I still cannot edit. I've also tried a user-agent switcher to see if that could help, but no dice. It really does seem like the issue is firefox not recognizing Google Docs is Google Docs and I'm not sure what the fix for that would be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Problem loading images on Home Depot website. It happens when you want detailed images of a product. This is not just one linux distribution. Its many of them. In the case of Ubuntu same problem with Snap version. Whether .deb or Snap doesn't matter.

I've got a test machine with 10 ssd's in it. I switched over to Ubuntu 24.04 that I installed/configured several months ago. Before updating I checked Firefox. It was version 125. No problems with Home Depot. Updated system. Firefox updated to 128.0. Home Depot wouldn't load images anymore. Did all the usual stuff like disabling a couple of extensions. There are only two. Adblock Plus and Weather. Other than that no changes to Firefox that would be a problem.

I've got Google Chrome installed on these machines too. Home Depot no problem. Images of product load and display fine.

I don't order much on Home Depot so using Google Chrome is not a problem for me. But it is annoying and I know I'm not the only one. Seen it posted in a few forums with no resolution. Also, I have not had any problems with Amazon or Lowes website.They are similar in that they display detailed images of each product. I'm not implying that Home Depot is the only one. Just that its the only one I have discovered. If I recall correctly 127.x may have been where it started. The general images of many products don't seem to be a problem.

Thanks, Gerald

Hi! I seem to be having an issue with my browser. Every now and then, blue squares will partially or completely replace the icons on my toolbar an search bar, and disappear on its own after a while.

For reference, I currently have several tabs open (13) on a split screen, but only the icons on de left window are affected by this. This started happening this month, prior to this I was able to have multiple tabs open on a split screen without issue.

I'll attach 2 images so you can see what I mean.

I appreciate any advice I get to fix this.

I am using FF 129.0 64 bit on Linux Mint. AFAIK all is up to the latest version.

When I log into my website admin on wordpress, my site gets redirected for a security check on the server (lightspeed or PC Guard). Once this is complete, the login continues.

Unfortunately for the last 6 weeks, my website redirects with a message, "Verifying that you are not a robot" and it hangs there permanently.

I have tried to get my server to disconnest Lightspeed and PC Guard (but then have NO security protection). Nothing seemed to work, and access was sproradic, but seemed best when FF was completely cleaned, cache, cookies, etc. However, even this did not guarantee a login.

Then I found that all worked perfectly using Chrome. Further, having logged in using Chrome, the FF version would now be unlocked and work perfectly.

So it seems as though FF is not clearing a status/flag/file somewhere and that Chrome clears this, leaving FF working again - for another 24 hours. Then the whole cycle starts again.

Any ideas?

Hello, Mozilla Community I'm contacting you to request assistance with a Mozilla Firefox issue that I'm experiencing when trying to access the following website: https://themonak.com/www-bageltechnews-com/. I'm not sure if there's a bug in the website, if it's incompatible with some browsers, or if the browser is blocking anything, but it won't load.

Does anyone else have experience with this issue or suggestions for a solution? I've tried clearing my browser's cache and deleting extensions, but the problem persists.

I would appreciate any guidance or thoughts on making the website easier to use. I appreciate your help in advance.

When I am browsing in either regular mode or safe mode, the scroll buttons for next or previous slide do not appear on the MSN web page. However, if I open a private browsing tab from either regular or safe mode, the scroll buttons appear and are functional. I am running Firefox version 129.0.2 (64 bit) on Windows 11 Home version 23H2. I have refreshed Firefox and also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have also toggled "always show scrollbars" on in Windows settings. No change. These scroll buttons function in other browsers (Edge, Chrome), but I prefer Firefox. Where do I go from here?

Whenever I type youtube.com into the search bar and hit enter, it says it crashed and i can't get in. Here are all my crash id's by the way

When I log in as admin to my wordpress website, firefox gets stuck in an endless reload loop.

https://imgur.com/hnjbGGe

Sometimes if I clear the browser history or open a private window, I can successfully log in and load a page - once. The page seems to load normally but there are 409 errors shown for many of the files in the developer tools.

https://imgur.com/uTugRTC

If I reload the page again, it goes back to the endless loop.

This started when I installed a wordpress caching plugin, but the problem is specific to firefox, so I don't really know whether firefox or the plugin is actually responsible.

How could firefox be getting 409 errors when other browsers get normal 200 responses for the same resources?

Why is firefox triggering this reload loop, and is there a way I can stop it?
