Since approximately July 2023, Firefox gives me a beachball and pauses for about 10 seconds whenever I change between it and another app, or between one Firefox window and another. The same behavior does not occur with other browsers, likewise whether my connection is WiFi or wired.

I have No Proxy set in Network Settings. I am running a 2021 M1 Max Macbook Pro on Ventura 13.5.2.

I would appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot and fix. Thanks.

I have some issue with spacebar on some sites with firefox. like in google search, the spacebar refuse to display two or more blank space in a row when the bar is pressed more than once. instead each press is added in the same blank space. means for example if i press space 4 times, only one space appear, but to delete that single blank space i need to press the "back space" key 4 times.

Similar problem with the search bar on the cookie setting (the page in preference where you can manage or delete your cookie list). several time the search bar doesn't write the letters i type. But copy/paste a text work, only keyboard doesn't work. I need to close and re-open the tab for the keyboard working again on the cookie list search bar.

Yesterday Firefox started closing at random, sometimes instantly as soon as I open it. The crash dialog doesn't open, and if I go to about:crashes my most recent unreported crash is from 2019. Tried refreshing, reinstalling, completely wiping all profiles and starting fresh. If I use troubleshooting mode it won't open properly at all. I am at a bit of a loss, any ideas?

Many pages in firefox become unresponsive for me while loading and then appear to never finish loading. The address bar remains mostly functional, but:

  • the page itself responds to no clicks or scrolls
  • the favicon in the tabs above the address bar is replaced with an animated loading icon and stays that way
  • the refresh button to the left of the address bar becomes an X and stays that way
  • the cursor icon becomes stuck (e.g. if it was a pointer, it remains a pointer no matter where on the page I move it.)

One example page where this happens is the firefox 'Get community support' forums page itself which loads when I click 'ask now': https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-community-support?exit_aaq=1

What's particular about my setup?

I have produced this behaviour when having no browser extensions at all, not even my password manager. I'm using firefox on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). I found that on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, it comes installed as a snap even if I install it with `apt install firefox`, and I really needed a non-snap implementation so that I could integrate my password manager. (I'm using 1Password. To integrate the 1Password browser extension with the 1Password desktop application, I can't have firefox sandboxed by snap.) Therefore, I installed firefox as a deb package using the instructions given on https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04:

```

  1. remove the Firefox Snap:

sudo snap remove firefox

  1. add the Mozilla Team PPA to your list of software sources:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa

  1. tell apt to prefer the PPA/deb/apt version of Firefox:

echo ' Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam Pin-Priority: 1001 ' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla-firefox

  1. tell apt to install future upgrades automatically

echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-firefox

  1. install the Firefox deb using apt:

sudo apt install firefox ```

Is there a better course of action? Having this password-manager integration is essential to me.

I have had many recent issues accessing things with Firefox. A couple examples are Slack and NEUP.gov. If I try to go to NEUP.gov it never loads. If i try to log into the University of Michigan enterprise Slack, via SSO, it says 400 Bad Request.

Both of these work fine if I do them on Chrome. I also talked to Slack, and they suggested it is not on their end. I don't want to switch to Chrome, but if I can't access the sites I need to on Firefox what else can I do? Any ideas on why this is happening would be appreciated.

I am seeing a very odd behavior. Sometimes, not always, it takes two or sometimes even three clicks to go to a link, especially bookmarks for some reason. That and at times I have to click on the address bar and hit enter even if I clicked a link to go to a new site. Mostly this happens with bookmarks and history items, but not always. I have disabled hardware acceleration and my few add-ons, I even put Firefox into safe mode to try to diagnose the issue further. Unfortunately I'm still lost and the issue presists. Any thoughts?

I'm using macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 and Firefox was just installed yesterday 120.0.1. The only extensions I have are AdGuard and 1Password.

I have noticed that when it occurs, I see the reload button cycle between the X and the Reload icon for like half a second and then does nothing else until I click on it. I have checked my Internet connection and it has been stable.

I have noticed a bug with how the Firefox icon appears when launched in the Windows 11 taskbar when the never group option is enabled. When Firefox is launched and is the only application open in the taskbar, there is no label present next to the icon like other programs have when launched. There is the little line underneath the icon though indicating it is launched but that is it. As soon as I open another application though, the label will also appear for Firefox. This is only a minor annoyance but is definitely as bug at least for me and should be pretty easy to fix. I will attach screenshots of the behavior. In the first screenshot, you can see that Firefox is open but has no Text label like it is supposed to. The second screenshot is as soon as I open a second application.

I am on Windows 11 Home 23H2 Build 22631.2792 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22681.1000.0 Firefox Version: 120.0.1

Windows, Ver. 120.0.1, 64-bit. Hardware acceleration enabled.

Many tasks on all websites result in GPU usage spikes. Very basic functions such as page scrolling or entering text often take a half second to register, making the browser feel unresponsive. I do not have a bunch of tabs open either and am not using any other applications that would be power-intensive.

Using an RTX 3050 Ti Mobile. Newest NVIDIA drivers, 546.29.

GPU usage spikes to over 10% when just scrolling the screen. Help!

I am upgrading the system now I am using MozillaFirefox-115.3.1-150200.152.111.1.x86_64 In this configuration, the previous alert box is not removed when page is reloaded Any configuration/setting has to be done in firebox browser to automatically close the alert box?

Every day. Videos won't play. sometimes one restart of firefox will fix it. sometimes multiple restarts are required before it'll work. The loading bar at the bottom of the video (on the seek bar) indicates the video is loading but it won't play. There have been times where I have disabled every single add-on and it would not work. Add-ons do not seem to be the cause. I have tried it in a private browser window with no joy. I have refreshed firefox, I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. I have tried disabling my antivirus. I have tested videos on websites in other browsers with no issue. The issue seems to be with the video player itself. overlays seem unaffected, I can use the seek bar and it shows the captions. I have tested different websites including Youtube, Vimeo and Steam. I tried many tens of times to get it working today to no avail. finally when I closed nearly all my tabs, the video worked (but I had also opened TOR and run avideo in that), I am not sure if this is the cause. If the cause is having multiple tabs open, this is an issue for me. I have a learning disability and likely ADHD and I have a set of tabs as my homepages so I don't forget things. If It's not the mutliple tabs, then what else can I do?
