On my Windows 7 machine, I am running Firefox V115.17.0esr (64 bit). When using Task Manager yesterday, I noticed the process spNMHost.exe whose description reads "Autofill Engine host for Chromium-based web browsers", but this process is started by Firefox (and ends when Firefox closes).

What the heck is going on?

Multi-Account Tab is on longer loading. I uninstalled it, shutdown my computer, and restarted it, reloaded it back on. Unfortunately, it's still not working. I do have Tab Stash on my computer as well, and it not working either. I guess the two problems are related, but I thought I would start with Multi-Account because I didn't want to lose all my bookmarks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how it fit this?

Thanks,

Unable to use Firefox to access Youtube. Problem started either late last night or early this morning. Whether using a bookmark or entering "Youtube.com" manually, the browser window merely acts as if I'm not even connected to the internet before finally just giving up.

Have tried using both 115.17.0esr (64-bit) and 132.0.2 (aarch64) versions of Firefox (each using a different computer), but YouTube refuses to load.

By contrast, YouTube has absolutely no problem loading using other browsers, the site loads almost instantly.

Youtube just does not run well on the firefox browser, I have had this issue on my pc, as well as my laptop. Twitch, piracy streaming sites, 9anime all work fine this problem with loading and buffering is exclusive to youtube. I have tried resetting my firefox settings, changing the values for load times and resource usage in about:config and none of these have fixed my youtube.I have tried multiple fixes I've been recommenced by online forms. I have switched my user agent to make youtube think I am using chrome, I have disabled and removed all of my extensions including ublock origin, and loading youtube remains painfully slow. In fact, disabling adblock makes the load times even slower.

Also responding to my post with "hmmm durrr it works just fine for me" does not help anybody, stfu.

please forgive me for asking again, but I REALLY need my addons to work. Firefox disabled my addons, forcing me to upgrade to a version of firefox that I don't need, since the old one was working just fine. The new version does not seem to appear to have downloaded properly, and neither version is allowing my addons to work or be re-installed. Please explain it to me like I am 5 years old, and help me to get this fixed without losing any of my info that might be stored in the addons.

 Thank you.

When I startup FireFox, it takes ~15 seconds to show me an page. After loading, it works normal and loads pages within a second, until I completely close the browser, and then the first page again takes ~15 seconds. I've been having this issue for the past few months.

- I tried disabling all my addons - Launched FireFox in troubleshoot mode - Deleted everything in DataReporting\Archived folder - Cleaned out History/Cookies and site data/Temporary cached files and pages - Tried both Default and Max protection for DNS over HTTPS - FireFox is allowed in Windows Defender firewall - Tried setting 'browser.cache.disk.enable' to FALSE - Tried changing 'Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows' to 'Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode' - Windows and FireFox are up-to-date

None of the above saw any improvement in loading time.

I've been using Firefox and Gmail on my PC and android phone for years. Today I can't log into my gmail account on my PC and instead it redirects to google support and goes on about clearing cache etc etc. I have cleared the cache but no different. I have restarted my pc and no different. PC is Windows 10.

I can log in to gmail using Google Chrome so I can't see that it is a Google problem. I can also log in ok on my Android phone.

Is this a Firefox issue?

The page My Stuff displays but once I click on a program or episode to watch, I get the error screen. (see words below) Even with no ad blocker, I get as far as an ad beginning, and then the error. I have already refreshed my browser. This did not help. I can watch Peacock on Edge. (PC windows 10)
