Firefox Community Forum

For the past few days to a week Firefox has failed to load some websites such as Amazon or Login.gov. I tried accessing the same sites using Edge and it worked fine. So it is not a problem with the sites. I do not believe I have changed my settings, although there is a new version of AdGuard which may have something to do with it. I believe the problem started with the update of Firefox on Nov 18, however. I am using Duck Duck Go, but have the same problem using Google as my default search engine. I do notice that I have a message in settings saying my browser is being managed by my organization and showing this : ImportEnterpriseRoots. I am an individual user, so am not sure what that means or if it is related. In any case, I need help figuring out how to fix this. I do not want to use Edge but may have to if I cannot get this fixed.

I have periodically popups with Firefox.

I tried to block popups with the following procedure :
   click on "parametres"
   in the left of the window, click on  "vie privée et sécurité"
   look for "permissions" 
   ask for blocking  popups

After all this, I still have popups. What should I do ? Thanks in advance Francis Prusker

I live in Las Vegas. Why does M Firefox post the wrong city with the weather at the top right corner of my browser window? It will not allow me to change it either. I drop it open, change the zip, press "enter" and it remains Tuscon.

the crash reports have been submitted 748057a7-6757-6eb2-955e-9602f9e91008

is there anything else I can do to get this looked into/resolved?

I read the FAQ about this feature. I read this about whether the stories are personalized to me:

... When personalization does occur, recommendations rely on a process of story sorting and filtering that happens locally in your personal copy of Firefox.

But there is no place that tells me how to turn this off if I don't want the stories personalized to me, and I do not want them personalized. The algorithms make assumptions about what I want to read and learn. But I want to be free to encounter and learn things that I might not otherwise come across.

How can I avoid being pigeonholed and limited in this way?

I would like to further customize my new tab page.

Specifically, I'd like to get rid of the firefox logo at the top, and I'd like to increase the number of columns of shortcuts per row from 8 to lets say 14, while decreasing the spacing between each icon by about half.

I've already followed [tutorial] from y'all on how to increase the number of rows, and another tutorial that had me fiddle with the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows setting directly in my about config. I have enough rows I want more columns and less space between them.

Find attached the current state of my new tab page, with my particular shortcuts redacted, and the number of additional shortcuts I could fit on the page without adjusting the gabs between them or resorting to a scroll bar. I'm missing out on at least 44 short cuts due to the default constraints, which I've been unable to find working overrides for. Depending on how cut-throat I get with my thin-margins, I could potentially be missing out on up to 80.

I tried following the near identical instructions from both this stack exchange and this tutorialpedia article, to try and get at the problem by modifying my about page's CSS; but I was unable to change part of the page's appearance. Not even the background or text color.

Is the information in these out-dated (the stack-exchange is 7 years old) or otherwise inaccurate; or is there perhaps a setting in firefox which is interferring with these tutorials' solution method.

I have already tried resetting firefox with extensions disabled to check if any of my extensions are causing the problem to no discernable affect.

I'm running Windows 10 on my (oldish) laptop.

I have been running Firefox on this PC (and others) for over a decade.

I would like to install Firefox on my (Samsung) Android mobile phone.

Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome.

It's 2025, and the only way to select an audio output device when using Google Meet seems to be to change the system's default.

Assuming you listen to music during your day, from your PC, this means switching back and forth a few times during the day, just to switch meeting audio output to the headset for calls.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for Google Chrome (or derivatives). You can choose an audio device there in the web application, and it does remember this over sessions. Awesome.

Guess what I am using for Google Meet then. Not Firefox.

I really like Firefox. I do support Firefox. Also financially. But seeing all kinds of efforts into AI, VPN and other stuff I don't use and care about, but having a basic browser feature missing, I really wonder if that's the right decision.

So please, whoever prioritizes stuff: get the basics, the daily features, working smoothly, before venturing off on new hipster stuff. Because if you miss out on the basics of the browser, you might end up with neither an accepted browser, nor any new hipster stuff.

I WISH THAT FIREFOX WOULD CHANGE THE ADS THEY ALLOW. SHOWING PANTIES WITH OBSCENE STATEMENTS IS BORDERING ON PORNOGRAPHY! SPECIFICALLY WOMEN'S PANTIES WITH STATEMENTS OF CUM AND ONLY DAVID CAN ENTER HERE! CHILDREN GET INTO THESE! IF IT DOES NOT BEFORE THURSDAY I SHALL SPREAD THE WORD AND NO LONGER USE FIREFOX!

I use Arcgis quite a bit for property info and for the last several months, it either won't fully load or has constant freezes when doing anything. It also freezes other windows I have open and most the time when I shut down those windows and start FireFox again, my home screen (Start Page) won't load? I have to dump history/cookies and sometimes flush dns. I contacted ArcGis and they say it works fine on their end. So I suspect FireFox is the issue.

I downloaded the Opera browser last night and it has no problems with this site. I won't use chrome or edge.

Any help figuring out what's going on? I have changed no settings, no vpn, no private browsing either. It seems with each FireFox update, my issues get worse?
