I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

My computer is running very slowly on Firefox. It takes forever to load anything on Facebook, or my Bank, or any other site where I want to use Firefox. I have DuckDuckGo for search, and that is really slow, too. So I thought that maybe Firefox needs to be updated. But I don't know where to find the Menu Bar. I am 80 years old and don't know the computer "jargon." By coming here I lost your step-by-step directions about what to do AFTER I find the Menu!

Seems I've noticed an issue with playing of YouTube videos the last few days. It seems that either the video(s) is slower to load and/or is slower to play. While it's not terribly slower in human time it's slower than normal in computer time. I'm not having this problem in Chrome. Cookies and cache are cleaned multiple times a day. So, I'm a little stumped as to why I'm having this issue. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

Bonjour, Depuis 1 semaine à 10 jours, il m'est impossible de naviguer avec Firefox. La lenteur est exécrable. J'ai dû mettre 1 heure à pouvoir afficher cette page, incluant tout ce que vous faites pour décourager les gens de vous écrire. Votre dernière MAJ doit être ratée. Avec Edge, je n'ai pas ce problème. La navigation est fluide. Je vais aussi tester Chrome. Cordialement,

Timeout on webpage that is slow to begin loading

A business website has a page that allows me to see items scanned to their server for the last 90 days. The server hosting this page takes more than 1 minute to begin loading to the browser - the back and forth symbol in the browser.

I timed this event today, and Firefox times out after 1 minute. My work around is to use Chrome with the same webpage and it took more than 4 minutes before images started to arrive.

It would be handy to have the timeout adjustable in the settings tab of Firefox. If I choose to sit on what I know is a very slow website for 5 minutes so be it.

Let me know what adjustments I can make - 400mb internet, 5ghz hard wired to the router. This is the slowest site we ever access.

For the past few days, DDG search has been slow. I'm using Firefox version 146.0.1 on Windows 11. Disabling extensions didn't help, but clearing the cache had an effect: The first search after clearing cache is fast (about 1 second), but subsequent searches are slow (about 15 seconds). I was able to repeat this sequence several times. I also cleared cookies, but that didn't seem to have any effect. DDG Search works fine in a Private window. I'm stumped!

Greetings, I have a problem with Firefox taking too long to load websites after login, while Edge loads websites immediately. It happens every time I lift the laptop lid and login. I have restarted Windows 11 and tested the load times of Firefox and Edge a while ago by going to Google. Edge loaded Google after 5 seconds, while Firefox 3 minutes and 25 seconds. That's long. Sometimes Firefox loads a webpage 10 minutes after login.

What could be the issue here and how do I fix it? I have the following extensions and I'm sure that they do not hinder Firefox.

If I go on any website using OSM data (including OpenStreetMap itself) on Firefox logged into my account, I experience a lot of slowdown. This doesn't happen when I use incognito mode or when I use another browser, so I'm pretty sure there's some kind of cache or something that's connected to my Mozilla account that slows down OSM massively. I've tried clearing all cache and all cookies. I've even refreshed Firefox using the installer and it's still slow. I don't want to bother with deleting my account and creating a new one. What should I do to try and return back to normalcy on OSM?
