Firefox Community Forum

I've used Firefox for 20 years through the various iterations of Windows, and have been using it trouble free on Windows 11 since November 2024. Two days ago, however, When I tried to open the Guardian site (www.theguardian.com) it would open very slowly and not load and of the pictures. This gradually got worse, the site taking for ever to open at all, and always with the little dot in the tab at the top left going from side to side showing it was still loading. I have tried everything I can think of. Opened in troubleshoot mode, changed DNS settings, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice (one time to see if it would work normally if I didn't actually sign in to my account). All to no avail. In fact now things are worse, in that the GOV.Uk website is now giving me similar problems - and a few other sites have become slightly slow and reluctant to open as well. My internet connection seems fine, and all these sites open without any trouble on Microsoft Edge. I am NOT very good at tech, and I am now tearing my heair out as to what I can try next.

Any help wopuld be gratefully received!

Well being an OAP I needed new laptop. Always used Firefox browser but finding it difficult to get restarted. Had to opt out of window s to even download. Apparently I can transmit(?) my existing passwords etc from one laptop to another is this correct? Only basic computer knowledge but trying hard !! Karen x

My Bookmarks were missing and I had an error message so none of the topics you have listed seem appropriate. I found a 2 part fix on the internet (Part 1 - Open your profile folder and part 2 -Create a new data base). The result was removal of the error message and a few Bookmarks becoming available. Question is how to get the remaining Bookmarks?

When trying to enter a full screen mode pressing modkey + f or F11 buttons my screen is cut in the upper part. The resolution of my pc is 1600x900 however my browser, after entering into a full screen mode, turns the resolution in 1600x917 and I do not understand why it automatically assigns this resolution. I have tried turning off the fingerprint option but it did not help. My os is x64 linuxm distro is the arch linux, and I use the awesome window manager. I tried using the Librewolf and I had the same problem when entering the full screen mode. I've set the linux recently so I guess I have no settings that could have potentially be the cause of the problem.

Bookmarks seem to be missing from Firefox. I followed the advice up to part 2. That got rid of the error message but only a few Bookmarks were there. Is there any way I can get the rest of them back?

'I was sent a link that goes to a learning site by my future employer to take some online classes via email. Every time I try to access the site I get a message that I need to close the page as the website may be impersonating someone trying to steal my information. I use Safari, not that I have a clue what it means, is this a restriction issue I need to avoid or sidestep like a firewall or something similar? I tried typing the web address and the HR office says not to do that - to only use the link. How can I check what’s wrong so that I can take access the online classes for this position?

trying to use firefox with Deltek Ajera, getting the error in the attached image

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with the M5 chip. I am a Firefox user for many years as I prefer it to Safari or Chrome. I noticed that some of the bookmark links are having issues loading. There is a little dot that moves back and forth L to R next to the site name in the toolbar [see screenshot]. Some of the pages do not load and just stay blank. I reached out to Apple and they recommended to reach out to Firefox re updates as perhaps this issue may be addressed.

Please advise.
