Hello, I just had Firefox update the software. Now when I go to BassPro.com or Cabelas.com none of the pictures of items are loading. If I go to a specific page that has say camping equipment, the item descriptions are there with no picture. If I click on an item the text is there for the product but no picture.

Thanks! Bill QuackerNJ@comcast.net

I have Windows 10 on my desktop computer. Yesterday Firefox updated to version 105. Now when I launch Firefox, and my HomePage loads, the address bar appears highlighted already (like as if I had clicked on it to type in a website). It was never like this before. I tried making Firefox the default homepage- still did it. I went back and set my favorite home page back in- still did it. I also re-started Firefox between each change. Is this a "glitch" with the last update? Is there any "about:config" setting that I need to change settings on? I'd appreciate any help, I know this is a minor problem but it is very frustrating! There have been many changes Firefox has made in the past that luckily I've been able to disable, but I cannot find anything to fix this one.

Hi folks,

Firefox 105 boots at a snail's speed on my Win 10 PC PC boot just became painfully slow today, September 21, 2022. It was so bad, I thought the worst for the machine. Made me check to see if a new Firefox version was pushed. It was. I turn off my PC daily, just FYI. My drives are nowhere near full, 50% for the fullest. Before the push, all was fine. The C drive with Windows resident is an SSD, which I don't defrag. Its at 50% capacity. Task Manager shows 5.1 of 7.9 GB of memory in use, most of it for Firefox. (PC was new in 2018)

Until now, the system was quick.

Does booting edge do some stealth shenanigans to Firefox ? I had to use it the other day, as Firefox wasn't supported.

Please advise ...

Thank you, Amy

I can click on comments / Typewriter then type something on a PDF. But as soon as I click elsewhere, the typed comment disappears. I've tried saving but that makes no difference. If I click again in the same spot, a text box appears with what I've typed appearing underneath. But that's no use if it doesn't appear on the page!

Until a few days ago, the site dailykos.com worked relatively normally. (By normally, I mean that the body of each article, including links and some of the embedded videos/photos were there and could be read. The comments and some of the pictures have never loaded. I thought it might be due to my privacy settings or extensions, but those weren't that important to me, and I never tried to fix that.) Now the site's pages are blank except for the title (see screenshot). The site loads normally in Safari on my iMac, and in the latest version of Firefox on my wife's MacBook Pro. I've compared the settings between her copy of Firefox and mine, and I can't see any significant differences. (We are both still using MacOS Catalina, but plan to upgrade to Monterey very soon.)

Things I've tried that didn't work include restarting both Firefox and my Mac, clearing my cache (it was zero bytes, but I clicked "Clear" anyway), deleting all cookies, including any for Daily Kos, except for a few cookies I need to keep, disabling all my extensions (see photo) and turning off enhanced tracking protection for the site. After these actions, I restarted Firefox, but the DK pages are still empty. An Internet search found only a few articles about similar but not identical problems from several years ago to January 2022. A search of the Mozilla returned zero results.

I should mention that I -think- this started after one of the last two Firefox updates. I'm using version 105.0. I'm fresh out of ideas, and I'd appreciate any help the community or developers can give me. Thank you very much. - Don

Whenever I load a youtube video, it would not load and when refreshed it would give this connection error. The screenshots posted are the few issues I have, whenever I try googling any items I would have to wait roughly a minute to click a link as it would not even respond. I have deleted my profile, cleared the cache, fully uninstalled the browser, did a virus scan, ran SFC, fully refreshed a DNS, checked the ping and would get a stable connection, and I cleared all of my add-ons and received the same issue. This is not just google and facebook, I would have several issues when browsing. I would be unable to use google docs as it would be disconnected periodically to the point where my work has come to a halt.

Is there anything else that can be done? Attached are the relevant screenshots.

Thank you.

My Firefox has been infected with MyNewTab. All attempts to remove it with various malware-removing software have failed. It does not appear in any list of installed software. I have found that I can only stop it from interferring with firefox by uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it - without syncing. So I am now trying to reinstatre Firefox to more or less how it was before.

The only real issue is that before it had an add-on - Norton Safe Web - which is not added now. I tried uninstalling Norton 360 and reinstalling it in the hope it would get the addon added. It didn't. But according to what I read it is very easy to add an add-on. I can select it from the list of add-ons, thus displaying a page all about it. According to help notes, you just click to add-on this choicre. But I can see nowhere to click to do it. I've been over that page time after time but see no way of progressing.

Help!!!
