When loading webpages, it will often take 60-90 seconds to load the page. I've only seen this happen when loading the page for the first time, once it loads navigating through subpages is seamless. It doesn't seem to be tied to any particular domain, I've had it happen randomly on gaming websites, tech websites, even google searches. The most notable coincidence is that in the networking tab of the developer console, it always(?) takes almost exactly 30 seconds on DNS resolution, 30 seconds on Connecting, sometimes a 30s Blocking element, and then the remainder is near instantaneous; screenshot attached. My network is fine, I'm able to play low-latency games without issue, and Chrome is not exhibiting the same behaviour.

Things I've tried to resolve:

• Restarting computer -- issue has been persisting for months
• Created a new Firefox profile -- still showing the same behaviour
• Disabling all addons/testing Troubleshoot Mode
• Proxy settings in Firefox -- No Proxy and System proxy settings are both showing the behaviour
• Disabling DNS over HTTPS

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What a dirty trick! I updated Firefox to version 136.0.1 to stop all the nagging, and my tabs disappeared! Nothing I could do brought them back. I asked the internet and finally learned about the sidebar, where tiny icons are shown (which I hadn't noticed). Nothing I could do with the sidebar brought the tabs back. Asked the internet again, and finally I found that buried in the Preferences is Browser Layout. When I deselected "Show sidebar," the tabs came back. What a dirty trick to make that the default, with no clue how to undo it! Nothing in the menus or the Help was any help. P.S., I am not a computer novice; I was a systems programmer in my professional life and have been using Firefox for many years.

Videos on Bluesky have never appeared for me, instead they all say "Your browser does not support the video format. Please try a different browser." This seems to happen regardless of the video source.

One morning could not connect to email/ATT. This is the error message I got: Something's gone wrong We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over. ATT came to home to look into hookup, etc. Could not fix. They advised Firefox could be corrupted. Should I reinstall Firefox. Had to go thru Chrome for email. Have Windows 11. Thank you.

Suddenly Citi Bank won't let me make payment via Firefox browser, say I have to use Chrome or the MS They say it's Firefox issue not theirs. I don't want to use any other browser. I've always made payments to my banks on the private browser Firefox. Suddenly cannoit.

I have a secure private network on my CPU. Why does Firefox not allow my secure websites to remember this browser? The website gives me the option "Recognize this browser." I check that box. But it is a vicious cycle. There is such a thing as too much protection. This makes it time consuming to access my accounts, requiring a cell phone and code to access accounts. Please advise.

On Ebay I continually get a message from Adblock Plus that interferes with my browsing. I asked a question about this and Mozilla came up and told me I have a problem with the script not running longer. I have no idea what this is. It has never done this before. I need to be able to browse Ebay without this interference.

I have installed OneTab on a Windows 10 platform. Works very well to save memory. Want to add additional tabs to an existing OneTab. Cant find any instructions let alone whether its possible. Have tried contacting OneTab a number of times and no response. Anyone from Firefox know anything about this add-on. Thank you.

I'm finding that firefoxcp isolated web content uses a LOT of memory on my Mac Mini. What can I do about this besides not using Firefox. I like the browser and have been using it since its introduction

1, provide phone support....which i am willing to pay for.

2. fix it -- remove the problem via an update

3. A new computer....and I still get this "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)." WHY ? Of course, GREAT that Mozilla never has real people to staff tech support.

send me an email

Open my desktop and NordVPN starts up. The Firefox extension frequently shows I an not connected via the VPN whilst Nord says I am. I have in the past clicked on the extension to connect the VPN and this has worked but recently I just get an error. Same thing occurs with NordPass.

At some point in the last few weeks -- possibly after an upgrade -- I've noticed that some websites such as the Washington Post and Fidelity can take minutes rather than seconds to load. The problem doesn't seem to be with the sites themselves (because they load fine on Chrome) or with my hardware (because exactly the same thing happens on both of my computers). Has anyone else noticed this?

( I'm running Firefox 131.0.3 on Windows.)

Last night, firefox just disabled all my addons and all attempts to reinstall any failed with a red warning that everysingle one I had or new to add failed. I tried a few suggestions I found online like refreshing, clearing cash, restarting, but nothing worked.

I have a vwersion 88 (and some change) running on a windows 7 computer.

Any wisdom is highly appreciated.

If I won't be able to fix this, I'll just move on to a different browser after using it everywhere for so many years and it will be sad
