Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

For a few days now I've been unable to use Google tools via Firefox (I can't tell if this is due to an update or not).

As soon as a document (usually an editable or navigable area) is opened on the page, it appears completely black. Interactions work correctly at first glance (it's possible to click, write, interact with content that isn't displayed. The problem seems to be purely visual.

I've encountered the problem in all Google Sheet or Docs documents (including when I'm making a new one) and on Google Maps, regardless of location (in the case of Google maps, a notable point is that the map is displayed and then turns black after one or two seconds).

I don't have this problem on another browser, I have it in PM.

Do you have any ideas on how to find the cause and fix the problem?

Have a nice day!

Hello! from this morning and alongside a new Firefox update i've been having graphical artifacts on Youtube/Facebook/Netflix. I've followed all the standard steps.

Disabled Hardware Acceleration. Updated Video Drives. Run FF in Safe Mode without plugins. Disabled Router level VPN and Ghostery.

Any ideas?

I'm running FF135.0 Geforce 572.16 Drives (30th Jan) 3070TI. Windows 10 Pro 22H2.

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

HOW TO CONNECT

I can see no way to download passwords or bookmarks on my android phone, so I can email them to myself, open on my PC and add them to PC Firefox. I have signed in to the same account on both devices, and turned sync on on both devices. I receive no passwords or bookmarks on the PC. I had to re-install Windows 11, and now I cant get my passwords or bookmarks onto my PC.

Cannot take screenshot of passwords on android - screenshot is blank.

I've never had sponsored shortcuts and suddenly today I've got them. I've attempted the disable the "sponsored shortcuts" on my desktop however its greyed out.

Starting state - Shortcuts selected, sponsored selected and grey Procedure: 1.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan 2.) Click sponsored, it becomes grey again 3.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan (again) 4.) Click sponsored, it appears deselected 5.) Hit refresh and it returns to starting state

I do not edit my GPO or registry, settings are not controlled by an organization, I am not confusing sponsored shortcuts with pinned search engines.

bold textPasswords and Sign In

Hi,

I had some hardware problems on my old PC and for some reason most likely to do with accounts when I restarted on Win 11 on new PC I had lost the majority of passwords saved to the Browser Password manager.

I have lost my old email address and am having some issues working out whether for some reason on the old system I was using my old email address to log in.

Is there any workaround to trying to determine whether I have a seperate account possibly linked to old mobile or email account that may link to the Password manager that contains my old PC systems password link.

I am setting up a more secure way to save passwords also? Is it better to use a portable hard drive rather than something cloud based for passwords?

I am a senior and at times do make some elementary mistakes with digital literacy so sympathetic answers would be greatly appreciated.

When I navigate to youtube and try to watch a video, the player does not load. It just shows white in the space where the player should be. No video, no audio, no nothing. No matter what video I click, the same thing happens. The only workaround I have found is that if I go to a page with an embedded youtube video, and click the "watch on youtube" link that appears in it, it will load a youtube page that can play videos normally. I can use that page to navigate youtube and it will operate normally. However if I type in youtube.com or get to the site some other way, the issue happens where it is only white space. It is very frustrating.

Hi my all mail.yahoo.com accoutns are not working on my mozilla firefox browser. It was working 2 days ago. Now, when I try to longin to mail account shows message connectivty issue with my internet, which is fine connect to some other website.

With Firefox 135.0 i cant reach google.com but google.se i can.

I make daily images of C: and today i managed to go back one day to 2025-02-06 but accidentally chooses 2025-01-06 and with the older version of firefox i could reach google.com

I have tried to delete cookies. DNS over HTTPS off. No proxy in connection. Add-ons off but to no avail.

Every time I start Firefox after closing it, I get a screen saying "Your Firefox has been updated" plus an announcement about editing PDFs in Firefox. My degault home screen does not appear unless I click the "home" icon. This is frustrating, because the update message just won't go away.

The URL for that irritating message is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/135.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=134.0.2&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=135

I've attached a screenshot to show this, hoping you can suggest a way to fix the issue.

In the password login page in the upper right hand corner the manage account link takes me to "session expired" and my profile pic will not populate and my display name is not displayed.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

It was fine and was displaying all the info and my old profile pic except I just went through a legal name change for gender affirming reasons (mtf) and when I changed it, it went blank and stopped functioning properly. It shows the new email only and clicking on that takes me to a "session expired"

https://accounts.firefox.com/settings?context=oauth_webchannel_v1&entrypoint=password-manager&uid=3d83334e2df54c189af324e342703f91&email=katophile6%40proton.me

I have to strip off everything but https://accounts.firefox.com and then sign in. ANd it lets me in.

But I see that I'm not signed into the browser and when I try, I used the auth code and it says bad request.

So since I changed my account name, I'm now locked out.

hello, i have a huge issue with my firefox and i cant seem to fix it or somehow understand the cause why my tabs sometimes browser crashes unexpectedly and sometimes i get a blue screen on my laptop. maybe there is a problem with my pc but it doesnt change the fact why firefox tabs are crashing really often this is one of my latest crash reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/3721bbdd-5f3a-4b02-bd0d-60c1e0250208

I'm very frustrated with FF. It's running slow. Downloads are slow etc. I've tried everything that FF has recommended up to and including "refresh" with no effect. It's getting to the point I'm considering not using FF. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I had NordPass working on my MacBook Pro, so that the little NordPass icon appeared when I had to sign in to a site with my username and password. If it wasn't in NordPass yet, NordPass would "watch" while I signed in somewhere, and then ask if I wanted to save that info, and I could say yes or no. But now I've installed NordPass again, and I'm not seeing the little green NordPass prompts. Where did they go? What did I do that caused them to disappear? I'm going to give up for the evening, but if you have any ideas about this, please share them. I will check back in tomorrow and attack the problem again, and will see your ideas then. TIA for any thoughts you might have about this.
