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!

On Feb 13th I went to my website at MyHeritage.com, to which I'm always logged in, to find that a few seconds after it loads it becomes all greyed out and I can't access anything. I had been on the site a couple of weeks earlier with no problems.

I removed the "Enhanced Tracking Protection" and I turned off AdBlocker for the site but the problem persists. I have logged out and then logged in - same problem. I turned off my computer and restarted it - same problem.

When I went to log in to my account at MyHeritage using my Chrome browser I encountered the same problem of a greyed out page BUT there was a banner stating something about cookies and when I clicked the "I understand" button the greyed out page cleared and I was able to access my account.

However, Firefox is my default browser and I want to be able to access this page using Firefox. It seems to have something to do with cookies.

Hello,

Since the latest update of Firefox (version 135.0.1) when writing an e-mail the lines keep dropping down automatically at random intervals.

The e-mail host we are using is Polaris Mail, which is through our website provider.

To make sure it wasn't an issue with polaris mail, i have logged into our emails through microsoft edge and they have worked perfectly fine.

I have attached a picture for reference.

Kind regards

I am having difficulty trying to view a website. I receive the following message whenever I try to view this website:

"Suspected Phishing This website has been reported for potential phishing.

Phishing is when a site attempts to steal sensitive information by falsely presenting as a safe source."


There are two buttons beneath this message, the one on the left which reads "Learn More," the one on the right which reads "Ignore & Proceed." Yet when I click on either of the buttons a blank white page appears.

The web address in the URL field also changes from the website I originally selected to the following:

https://www.smartredirect.de/redir/clickGate.php?u=IgKHHLBT&m=1&p=8vZ5ugFkSx&t=vHbSdnLT&st=&s=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brutaltops.com%2F&r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3DBrutalTops.com%26sca_esv%3D9a8e8f6bd3ba345e%26source%3Dhp%26ei%3DHMO2Z6SJBaqWwbkP7JzXUA%26iflsig%3DACkRmUkAAAAAZ7bRLHc87-cSI48xaawgAj9EjL-Nm71U%26ved%3D0ahUKEwikh43Vx9GLAxUqSzABHWzOFQoQ4dUDCBM%26oq%3DBrutalTops.com%26gs_lp%3DEgdnd3Mtd2l6Ig5CcnV0YWxUb3BzLmNvbUjNa1CbCliBWXABeACQAQCYAW-gAfcKqgEEMTYuMbgBDMgBAPgBAZgCCaAClwaoAgrCAgoQABgDGOoCGI8BwgIKEC4YAxjqAhiPAcICERAuGIAEGJECGNEDGMcBGIoFwgILEAAYgAQYkQIYigXCAg4QLhiABBixAxjRAxjHAcICBRAuGIAEwgIREC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwHCAgsQLhiABBjRAxjHAcICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIXEC4YgAQYkQIYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwEYigXCAgUQABiABMICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIIEC4YgAQYsQPCAg4QLhiABBixAxiDARiKBcICCxAAGIAEGJIDGIoFwgILEC4YgAQYsQMY1ALCAhEQABiABBiRAhixAxiDARiKBcICFBAuGIAEGJECGLEDGIMBGNQCGIoFwgIREC4YgAQYkQIYxwEYigUYrwHCAg8QABiABBixAxgKGEYY-QHCAgoQABiABBixAxgKwgINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCsICBxAuGIAEGArCAgcQABiABBgKwgIFEAAY7wWYAxPxBQrZJeqRYy6tkgcDNi4zoAeUYg%26sclient%3Dgws-wiz



Why would I not be able to view this website (and others too) with Firefox but am able with Chrome? I want to be able use Firefox, as Chrome will not allow use of an extension that Firefox will.

Please tell me how this problem may be fixed.

I used to play World of Tank and look at YouTube on my second screen. Everything went smooth untill this week. YouTube on Firefox on my second screen is lagging or freezing. I tried Opera, I tried Edge it worked fine, but with Firefox, it is no more possible to play YouTube on my second screen while playing. It is not a matter of graphic hardware as this issue only happen with Firefox. I tried to deactivate every module and to reinstall Firefox (either the Beta version) but still got the same lagging and freeze on YouTube. Do you need anything that can help you to investigate this issue, this is really terribly frustrating and boring.

I just got a new PC. On my old Windows 10 PC, many add-ons add useful buttons, for example OneTab which adds a button that closes all tabs and compiles a list of what was there, or Zotero, which lets me send stuff online to my Zotero citation database.

Now on my new Windows 11 PC, even though those add ons are installed and technically functional, I can't find the buttons anywhere. I wanted all that stuff on my toolbar for a reason. All I can find are convoluted keyboard shortcuts. I don't want to use a bunch of stupid keyboard shortcuts when I'm supposed to be able to just push a button for the same functionality.

Where did all my buttons go and how do I put them back? No, they are not in the "customize toolbar" option, and I have checked the options menus for my most important add ons too.

When I was previously using Firefox in Kubuntu 22.04, if I downloaded something I could go to the Downloads icon and click on the download and it would open in the desired application. After a failed upgrade to 24.04 I had to do a reinstall and now in Kubuntu 24.04, if I click on a downloaded file it will always bring up a window with "Open the file link with okular?" and the buttons Cancel and Open Link below. How do I go back to the previous way of it working?

Using Firefox 135.0.1 with Mac OS 15.3.1. Sometimes the menus on the left side of the top menu bar (, Firefox, File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Window, Help) vanish from the menu bar at the top of the screen. The items on the right side of the menu bar are unaffected and remain visible. If I click in the menu bar area, the items that had disappeared return.

This does not occur with Safari or Chrome, only with Firefox and only infrequently.

Curious to know if it's a bug or something else.

dunno if this is the right board, but here goes...

I discovered a bug with Firefox and the pen/touchscreen on my lenovo X1 tablet.

Using the touchscreen, move the map, map works as it should. Can pinch to zoom, ect.

Switch to the pen, map works with pen.

Touch the screen again and Google maps doesn't respond to touchscreen anymore, only the pen, and refresh does not fix it. I have to close and re-open maps in a new tab.

In chrome, this does not happen. Only in Firefox.

No idea if this is the right topic or not but I've been dealing with this frustrating issue where with some websites it just loads a blank white screen. I've tried every fix I could that I've seen on forums like this as well as on Reddit and nothing I've tried has fixed it. From launching in Safe Mode or changing things in about:config. Before finishing this post I tried launching in safe mode, so my add-ons and plugins are disabled and it still persists with websites loading in these blank white screens. I never had this issue at first and I'm sure it started to happen after an automatic update a while back.

I need this issue sorted out so I can look and compare items from shops but most of the time a website that works and I look at it elsewhere I'm dealing with this issue. No issue looking at stuff on the internet on my phone, though I do use safari instead on my phone.
