Firefox Community Forum

Open my desktop and NordVPN starts up. The Firefox extension frequently shows I an not connected via the VPN whilst Nord says I am. I have in the past clicked on the extension to connect the VPN and this has worked but recently I just get an error. Same thing occurs with NordPass.

At some point in the last few weeks -- possibly after an upgrade -- I've noticed that some websites such as the Washington Post and Fidelity can take minutes rather than seconds to load. The problem doesn't seem to be with the sites themselves (because they load fine on Chrome) or with my hardware (because exactly the same thing happens on both of my computers). Has anyone else noticed this?

( I'm running Firefox 131.0.3 on Windows.)

please let me open the site https://learning.onlinejain.com/#/login when i open this site its showing site cant reach us

Last night, firefox just disabled all my addons and all attempts to reinstall any failed with a red warning that everysingle one I had or new to add failed. I tried a few suggestions I found online like refreshing, clearing cash, restarting, but nothing worked.

I have a vwersion 88 (and some change) running on a windows 7 computer.

Any wisdom is highly appreciated.

If I won't be able to fix this, I'll just move on to a different browser after using it everywhere for so many years and it will be sad

Please assist or advise why Firefox seems to be slowing down my system by memory usage. I have a handful (6) of tabs open on 1 browser session and my system started slowing down so I checked my task manager and it shows that I have more than a dozen of Firefox instances open chewing up almost 90% of my memory.

Please assist or advise me on how to tweak my browser to perform better, and not to show ghost instances

Ever since the Firefox 136.0.1 upgrade our Firefox icon to connect to Firefox will not work. It just spins out. Do we have to re-install Firefox and in so doing lose our bookmarks? Thanks

Firefox will not allow me to access my internet banking account. The recent update caused me many problems. Is there a seurity setting in Firefox that I should take a look at or correct? Thank you!

Firefox recently added a feature that requires me to open a new private window to access Revenue Canada. I use Intuit Turbo Tax to file my Income Tax. The Intuit software allows you to download your rax records from CRA and insert the information in your T1 Return. With the latest change to Firefox this option is not available any longer because the default for the CRA account is not to a private window. How do I get around this problem????

While editing a Wordpress blogpost in HTML, the cursor does not appear, either as blinking or otherwise. Resultantly, I cannot edit a post. The editing I intend cannot be done in visual settings.

Another person seems to have the same sort of problem. Here is the link: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/cursor-not-working-when-im-creating-editing-a-post/

Apparently, his problem was specific to Firefox , as the problem disappeared as he switched to Chrome. My similar problem disappears as I switch to Microsoft Edge.

My e-mail will not load sub links. It pops up a list of links not related to the e-mail. Stated when I installed avast. Took avast off. DID NOT fix problem. What now???

Reading the crash dumps when our systems crash, keeps showing this same result. Firefox's "web content" is crashing our systems.

When I open Firefox browser around ten several weeks old tabs are there. It is not set in the setting to open. I did many attempts to get rid of this nuisance and they are still here. I Created new profile, erased all profiles, removed Firefox, and reinstalled with option not to use old setting since new installation found that the fire fox has been installed. And frustration part that Mozilla do not offer (as I know) support to fix this problem. This glitch is hidden somewhere and the program always find it an put it back. I am not sure if what to do as I run out of options, other than turn to another browser after many years using only Firefox with no problems at all. Thanks Ned

I have my business emails set up on FireFox. Whenever my Windows updates during the night causing my PC to restart I lose all of my connectivity settings on FireFox. Whenever I attempt to login to sites I have already established connections for, the site sees me as having a new PC and I have to start all over with the inputting of login credentials. What in my settings can be modified to stop this from happening.

Thank you.
