Firefox Support Forum

Hey All,

I'm an old user of Firefox since the Netscape times. For the last few weeks, Firefox become so slow on all my computers.

I have 2GBps internet connection and

• a fast PC (i9 11900/64GB/NVMe SSD RAID/3080Ti, Win 11 for Workstations, wired Ethernet@2.5GBps)
• a once-it-was-fast notebook (i7 8750H+32GB+NVMe SSD, 1660 GTX, Win 11 Pro, wifi 802.11ax >800MBps)
• and a relatively slow notebook (Ryzen 3 2300 or the like, 4GB, Win 10 x64, wifi 802.11n).
• All of them have the latest op system, drivers, firmware, etc.

A common scenario:

• I try to open a webpage in Firefox, nothing happens;
• I switch to Chrome (or Opera, Edge), open the same page, it opens in 1-2s;
• I switch back to Firefox that is still at the middle of loading the page;

I can play it on all the 3 equipment, the result is the same: Ff is much slower than any other browser on my PCs.

There is one common app that is present on all the machines: my paid-for security package that I won't turn off. If Firefox has any problem with it (that Chrome, Opera and Edge don't have), Ff must go (with my regrets).

I tried to turn off all the plugins but it didn't help. I don't think it's plugin related as Ff is still so slow w/o any plugin enabled.

If you could give me a hint where to look for the cause that would be great.

Thanks.

Hello guys, so my Computer crashed and was stuck in a bootloop and I needed to hard reset it. Now my Firefox passwords,bookmarks etc are gone. How can I recover them, they are very important?

Firefox has automatically updated to version 113.0.1. When it opened my previous tabs had all been closed to I selected the restore previous browsing option. Tabs all loaded with no problem. however none of the tabs could access the internet. I've tried removing Firefox from my Bitdefender fire wall and then restarting Firefox. Bitdefender automatically adds Firefox to the allows list but still won't access the internet. I opened a new tab and typed "Google.com" and got the message "open network login page" telling me I need to login in to the network to access the intenet. My PC is connected via ethernet and I use Nordvpn. I have disabled both Bitdefender and Nordvpn but still cannot access the internet with Firefox but can do so using Brave. I have accessed the Setting in Firefox and changed the Network settings to no proxy. Can you help please?

• After a Google search, I cannot click any link to go to the page result.
• If I type in an address the Webpage just won't load.
• My Gmail often will not load.
• I have several emails, but the list in GMail won't show them
• YouTube plays horribly choppy. (I followed a help guide to change some setting, but it did not help)
• I have to constantly use Chrome instead. I don't want to use Chrome. There is no problem with any of these in Chrome, so I know it is a Mozilla Firefox problem, I just don't know how to fix it.

I am using 113.0.1 and it is up to date

Why are we suggesting passwords and not saving them to my browser? Do you think im going to remember dsfhkjg32iuyt4t3#$%$@? I mean do you really expect someone to remember that????? ?????????? like really??????

only happens on firefox but i and a bunch of others get ads when we sub on twitch to people and it only shows the ads in firefox so its definitely something broke with firefox/

bold textOriginal account setup email no longer exist can't get verifiction code to log in can't transfer any firefox info to new phone can't log in to change email

Fonts are often way too bold it's unreadable — for example, in the attached screenshot, c is so thick it's looks like o. In other browsers it looks fine. Been having this problem for half a year. Win 10, Firefox 113.0.1

Since yesterday on Facebook I can't see the time a post was written like I always had and like it happensa for example on Chrome, does this is happening to others?

This message is to developers of the Firefox browser...

Is there any effective way to disable this stupid updates that breaks what you do and force you to restart?

I've tried to disable by about:config or any other settings. Not working...

Always forces user to restart. I wanna say as Linus said to NVIDIA to community!..

FF version is 113.0.1

Please SOLVE THIS STUPID issue.

I'm trying to migrate from Chrome to Firefox browser. I cant load Twitter and some other links. I get error message. JavaScript not enabled. I can't find a setting anywhere to enable it. Help!!

Hi,

I've had an issue for a long time where certain websites just won't work properly on Firefox. This issue seems to be specific to this particular configuration of Firefox I have, as the problem doesn't occur on my other MacBook, nor on other browsers, and this problem persists even through upgrading this MacBook from an Intel-based processor to Apple silicon. I've exhausted all of the troubleshooting methods suggested by Mozilla here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems. My last hope is that it has something to do with Firefox's browser internals, though I'm not tech-savvy enough to understand what may or may not be working correctly with said internals.

As a few examples of what I mean when I write that certain websites won't "work properly," a reading on Coursera seems to have a scrollbar that can scroll indefinitely without ever actually scrolling the page down for me to read additional text from the article. Certain websites will fail to display certain videos or interactive media. And certain other websites will fail to display anything at all. (I wish I could be more specific in describing these "certain websites," but I can't recall what they are at the moment.)

Let me know if you need any additional information to help diagnose this issue.

I greatly appreciate any time and effort that you may spend trying to help me with this issue!

See the Question details for the Troubleshooting information.

(removed troubleshooting information as this is also present in the system details - c)

After second to last update Firefox doesn't show bold fonts on my website. In Chrome everything is ok. This issue shows on diffrent computers and diffrent windows version. How to fix it?
