After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

Hi. I'm still new to Firefox and don't really know the settings very well. I recently switched over to using it and realized that when I use most drop down boxes the background of the drop down menu is black, but the text is white and the selection box (when you hover over the item) is also white. Making whatever I'm hovering over very hard to see. I'm wondering if I have a strange setting turned on or not?

Settings wise I have Firefox set to dark mode, not the auto. But when I use the auto it still happens. Trying it in safe mode it still happens. Iv tried to research this a little myself. And read something about the proton setting and turning that from true to false. But this also did not work.

Is there any way to fix this? I just need the text to be a different color or the selection box (when you hover over it) to be a different color.

Attached are two screenshots of what I'm seeing

Just switched from PC to Mac and miss the Page Up, Page Down, Home and End buttons. Wondering if there's a Firefox addon or extension to add these functions to a Macbook. I've searched but not found anything. I know I can't be alone in wishing for this!

(I am aware of using "Fn" and the arrow keys on a Mac to do page up and page down, but they are opposite sides of the keyboard and require both hands to scroll by page.)

latest versions of firefox (now at 140.0.1) keeps opening onto my 2nd monitor which is off - how to stop it doing it. Tried making new profile which works for awhile, but sooner or later they all bump it to the 2nd monitor and it never comes back - tried moving to primary and closing it there, but next time back on #2. Open 2nd window while first is on primary, and that goes to 2nd monitor...

Any time I allow a website to use my location on my home computer, it places me in a suburb in Las Vegas. However, I live near Seattle. This happens on multiple websites including Google Maps and Uber Eats, and on other browsers my location is correct. I'm not running any VPNs or proxy servers, I've verified that my IP address is linked to my correct location, and I've deleted all cache and cookies ("Everything" for time frame) from my history. Is there a way I can have an accurate location again?

I have a folder with many bookmarks in it, and when I want to open multiple links in the folder but not ALL of them, I have to keep opening the bookmarks folder after middle clicking each link 1 at a time. I can't open the entire folder - there are 100+ and say I want to open 10.

Is there a way to keep the bookmark folder open while I open each link in new tabs?

Thanks!

I usually use Nightly as my default browser in a Windows 11 system. Recently I started to get a new error message showing up when I try to select multiple messages in Yahoo e-mail. I select them by clicking on the first message, then holding down Shift and clicking on the last message in the range. That should turn on the selection boxes for all the messages between the two.

Now, when I press the Shift key, I get an error box right on top of where my mouse cursor is, so it interferes with me. The top of the box says "mail.yahoo.com", which is the web-site I'm signed in on. Then it has a link with the text "Login - Sign in to Yahoo". Below that is an ad for all the wonderful things I can get by signing in to Yahoo. At the bottom is an error message, "We can't generate key points for this webpage."

I tried the same action in the current General Release of Firefox, v140, and this does not happen. I suspect that this is an intrusion by some sort of AI software, but I don't know what setting might have been activated to turn this on. Does anyone have any idea how to turn it off?

All of a sudden Firefox started to use alt+number (e.g. alt+3) to switch to that tab (i.e. tab 3 in my example).

Why? How do I disable this? It prevents me from typing any of the special characters that are located on alt + any number key. E.g. I can type the at-sign, not the dollar, or any such character which requires the alt-modifier and a number.

In Chrome, for example, if you type "maps" in the address bar, it will autofill to "maps.google.com", which then redirects to the correct URL, "google.com/maps". Initially, it doesn’t do this, but if you do it repeatedly, Chrome eventually learns and sends you directly to that URL when you type "maps". The same happens with "gmail" or even just "gm", which redirect to "gmail.com" or "mail.google.com". Does Firefox have this kind of feature?

I think I browsed a reddit thread from a few years ago asking this same problem having something to do with autofill frequency which doesn't work, because the actual url is not, in the example of maps, maps.google.com and the url I want to enter redirects to it.

Where do i go to see if rumbletalk.net and rumbletalk.com is "white listed"??

7/06/2025 UPDATE: well now there isnt even a Rumle chat window showing. On July 2nd there was a blank square for the chat convo, but now there's nothing about a chat even available. There's an ad there where the chat window was.

I'm thinking that the last update changed this. I tried Crome but there's not chat there either. Help groups say I need to make sure rumble.com and rumble.net are "white listed"..... WHERE do I find this setting???
