Firefox Community Forum

I am trying to change my search over to Mozilla and firefox. When I open up the firebox search the google search pops in. Why? I already discouraged because I know they are attempting control. The last two years I have been hacked almost every month. The whole problem has been ongoing for almost 20 years.

I'm on windows 10 in EU with the free extended support. Everytime I open a new tab a banner appears asking me to enable backup to prepare for windows 11. I DON'T want to enable backup. I clicked dismiss but it keeps showing up all the time, it's incredibly annoying.

I added Canvas Blocker on both my computer and android phone's Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/canvasblocker/

The add-on never worked well for me and cause glitches, so I disabled and uninstalled it. But I noticed now that trying to access Google Maps via Firefox in the Android app is completely broken. The site is in a constant loading/stopping loop, flickering the address between Google Maps and the new blank page tab. There's nothing on the page, it's just white. It will keep infinitely loading and unloading itself. My computer is fine and loads Google Maps without issue, it's just the android app of Firefox on my phone that's bugging out.

• This happens regardless of whether Canvas Blocker is installed, disabled, or uninstalled. I even tried disabling uBlock Origin thinking it might've been doing something, but it did nothing.
• I've tried clearing the cache, it didn't work.
• I tried clearing cookies, it didn't work.
• I went into my Apps in Settings on my phone to clear the cache, it didn't work.
• I restarted my phone, it didn't work.
• My Firefox app on my phone is updated, and my phone is updated too.
• This still happens in Private Browsing.

I can't access about: pages on my phone, so I'm completely lost on why this is broken or if this is even fixable at all. The person who made the Canvas Blocker add-on extension didn't address my issue and ignored me entirely.

I know I can just use the Google Maps app, but I don't have the space on my phone for it and I don't like how a site is broken on Firefox.

I don't wanna have to clear all my app data and uninstall and reinstall the Firefox app, I'll lose all my bookmarks and settings and add-on settings. Can anyone help me please?

I open firefox and open two or three tabs. Than I check task manager, because my computer is running warm and I find firefox has opened 12 to 20 tabs. I have tried every suggested fix for this problem with no resolution. Can you provide a fix for this problem. I have the same problem on my Lenovo laptop as well.

Thank you, Michael Rozelle [edited email from public]

I use firefox password manager and have for years. I did not change my password in password manager but I can no longer edit or view my saved passwords. A box comes up asking me for my password but it keeps saying it is trying to allow me in to view my saved password but nothing happens. However, firefox still uses the saved passwords for all 37 of my saved sites and works to allow me to log into saved sites without hesitation. I tried changing my password to password manager and it tells me it changed the password but it will still not allow me to edit. When I click the edit button nothing happens. I have tried over and over and over. I often used my firefox password manager to go in and look up passwords to use on my ipad. I hope you can help. Thank you

When signing in to my sky account via Firefox I am not receiving the 2 step verification code on my phone , I had been receiving the code with no problem until 2nd April 2026 , I have not made any changes to my phone or to my firefox account or browser , when I access sky via google I receive the 2 step authentication code via my phone with no problem it is extremely frustrating as I use Firefox all the time

Just found Firefox's (v149.0) VPN button in my toolbar. I turned it on and entered whatismyipaddress.com. I got the message

"Unable to find the proxy server. Firefox can’t connect to the server at whatismyipaddress.com"

If I turn it off FF brings up the page correctly. I get this error msg for any other urls I try to bring up. Ideas?

I am using Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) with Yahoo.Com as my home page. All of a sudden, when I use the search bar at the top of the Yahoo Home Page, Firefox opens up a blank tab in response. Doesn't matter what I search for, same thing happens. Then, if I close that blank/empty tab and reattempt the same exact search again, it works fine.

This has been happening only for the past few days - was fine before. Is this Firefox? Or is this Yahoo? And how can I resolve the issue?

Thanks in advance.

I have a site i use frequently I change passwods and then i still cannot log in. they tell me it is because i have disabled their cookies. i use this site and when i chage passwords and till cannot log in iam FRUSTRATED

My current version of Firefox is 149.0 (64 bit) Mozilla Firefox for Arch Linux Arch Linux - 1.0 I am running this on two computers, a laptop and a desktop, both running Arch Linux, currently at 6.19.10. I use the laptop much more, and recently noticed that I cannot upload or download files with Firefox. No file selection window opens and the request is simply ignored. Nothing appears in my Downloads folder. Meanwhile, I also noticed that this function works just fine on the desktop computer. I don't remember making any settings changes. I do have popups generally disabled but can enable them for certain sites. In any case, I have tried enabling popups and redirects completely with no change. I figure there must be something different about the settings on these two Firefox installations, but what? What can you tell me? Or ask me? Thanks.

I am having a problem with Firefox. Some websites do not load correctly and certain extensions do not work as expected.

I have already tried restarting Firefox and checking my internet connection, but the issue still happens.

Please advise how to fix this problem. Thank you.

I'm now switching to chrome as I don't want things just showing up in my browser. You must be stupid to think dropping things nobody wants into your product will make people want to use your -->

I have several machines, and a few of them will open firefox just fine, the browser starts and displays the new tab home page. But others will open to a null tab, nothing is there.

What's broken with the blank tab machines?

I've looked over all the possible settings for the home screen and they're the same on all the platforms.
