Firefox has just introduced wallpapers for browser home page. I cannot get it to work. It's either cropped too small or pixilated, is there a setting I need to adjust, or a particular image format? So that it looks ok.

Hi everyone,

We’re testing scroll-linked animations on a landing page built with Tailwind and custom JS for our client project hosted at https://noveltyads.com. Specifically, we’re exploring the ViewTimeline API and CSS animation-timeline for a horizontal scroll section.

While everything works smoothly in Chromium-based browsers, we’ve noticed Firefox behaves inconsistently in the following ways:

The animation-timeline: view() property doesn’t always trigger on scroll as expected.

Debugging with Firefox DevTools, the animations don’t appear in the Animation panel at all.

We confirmed that no polyfills or fallbacks are interfering.

This is happening on a custom-built section on this live test page: https://noveltyads.com (it’s a mock client version for internal QA — nothing behind a paywall or login).

Has anyone experienced similar behavior with Firefox’s scroll-driven animations or ViewTimeline implementation?

We’d love to know:

Whether Firefox fully supports ViewTimeline (or still considers it experimental)

Any DevTools flags or settings needed to see scroll animations properly

If there's a better way to ensure cross-browser consistency using native APIs

Thanks a lot for your help and insights!

Since the last Firefox update I cannot access sites such as Chaturbate or Myfreecams anymore with error message :

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at chaturbate.com."

There seems to be a DNS issue. I tried everything I found online such as desactivate DNS over HTTPS and others but I just cannot access these. Firefox works for "normal" sites and all other browsers (Edge, Oasis, Brave, etc) work fine now but I had to change the DNS after their last update (everyone created a problem from last week, so strange).

Another very strange thing is when I use a VPN, even with my country to access from, it is working !!!

What can be the issue and how to solve it ? Thanks

Hello Firefox Support,

I’m encountering a strange issue with Firefox. While playing YouTube videos at very low quality (144p) just to listen to music, my GPU usage spikes to 100%. This happens even when the video is not fullscreen and there’s minimal visual content.

System Info:

   Firefox Version: 140.0.2 (64-bit)

   Operating System: Windows 11 

   CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700F (no integrated GPU)

   GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE

   GPU Driver Version: AMD Adrenalin 25.6.1 

The issue goes away when I disable hardware acceleration in Firefox settings, but I’d prefer to leave it enabled for better performance elsewhere.

Is this a known issue with AMD GPUs or is there something else I can try to reduce GPU usage during playback?

Thank you for your help.

First of all, if you really want to help people, then offer phone or at least chat support -- not bots!

Second, I just uninstalled Firefox for the second time because of problems with connectivity and installing bookmarks

The first time was a problem with the bookmarks and again I had a problem, not with installing them but installing too many -- each imported bookmark installed seven times!

Also, I was having problems loading pages.

You really think people want to spend days rummaging through FAQs to find an answer? You need to provide some good support if you want to survive.

hey, I update my laptop windows, after updates when it restarted I have signed in to my account but bookmarks wasn't recovered. It was totally gone. I want my bookmarks back it is really important to me.

Hi, Once last week I had Firefox crash, like quite literally the window I had open just closed abruptly. Tried doing the refresh using the setup wizard and it did not help. Then I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times. Each time it'll open up like new, and within 10 minutes the window closes randomly and then Firefox doesn't launch anymore on my laptop. No error message, just does not launch whether I try to from taskbar or Home or even run as administrator. Seemingly random I've been using Firefox for months and it just started doing this last week.

Sorry for lack of other info, thanks for any help you're able to give.

For some unknown reason on my Mac computer the forward and back browser arrows have moved to the right extreme side of the browser and have also revered ie > < I'm guessing something in settings has been changed accidentally.

Can some please explain to a seventy year old man how to move them back to the left side of the browser and in correct order ie < > where they belong?

Best Regards, WG

As of yesterday, whenever I have to open my Firefox browser on my laptop I get the "You've launched an older version of Firefox" pop up email. I have to log in and set up all my preferences each time. I have never had to do that before.

I had not used the Firefox browser in a few days, so when I went back in today it asked me to update it. I did, and now every page I go to freezes and the browser locks up. Is there some way to get rid of this latest update? I have Windows 11.

I have been trying to make fox news my home page on new computer with windows 11 .When I type in https.//www.foxnews.com firefox says it can't connect to this site.

My system has 2 display monitors, the second one used only in Photoshop and Lightroom. Recently I converted my system to Windows 11 and the Firefox display screen now comes up only on my second monitor screen. I want it back on my primary monitor where it has always been under Windows 10. Help and Thanks. Charles Klingsporn

I am not sure why every time I go to print something, it takes the color blue and turns it gold. I have used other browsers like Edge to print and it does not do this, only while I am using firefox. I have tried to set the color management mode to 0 and to 1 and neither of these options have worked. Is this a problem with the newest update or is there a setting that I am missing?

Firefox refuses to open. What happens is, It'll open for like 1 frame and then close. This happened to Chrome last month too, which is actually why I installed Firefox. I have to uninstall it, then reinstall it from the website. If that doesn't work, I try the Microsoft Store. If that doesn't work either, I keep switching between them until it eventually opens. It breaks again when I turn off my computer. Thanks.
