Firefox Community Forum

Client emails me a URL that is an invite to his MS Teams meeting. I click on it in Firefox and I get a pop up box that states I don't have an App and wants to direct me to the MS Store. I have a MS365 License....

I have already placed 7 MS recommended URLs in the FireFox "Allow" List

When I copy and paste the same hyperlink into MS Edge everything works the way it USED to work in FireFox....

What changed and what do I need to do to get back to "As Desired" (in FireFox)

I have noticed that since around Friday, April 24th, 2026, that Youtube videos will sometimes refuse to load properly. The page for the video will come up, but buttons on the page will not load, and nor will the video. This started happening around mid-day, when prior to it, things had been fine. At first I thought it might be tied into the 'ambient mode' option on Youtube itself., But even after shutting that off, I found it was still happening at ranodm.

Is this something new Yotube is doing in their continued (idiotic) fight against ad blockers, or is there an actual glitch in the browser or, more likely, a glitch in Youtube? Like I said, this seems to occur at random and I can't trace the cause for it. I'll include a screenshot of what I'm seeing. But if anyone knows what's happening here, I'd appreciate it.

I should add that I am on Windows 11 and using the new version 150.0 for Firefox. (Congrats on that, by the way.)

I'll be honest, I keep hearing some other browser can block youtube ads innately. (Brave, I think it was called?) and while the idea is cool, I'm not giving up a browser I've used for over 20 years for it. If Firefox can find a way to implement a similar means of blocking Youtube ads innately, I;d love it. But for now, I just wanna know what the devil is happening with the site. Can anyone help?

I am having issues using the search functions on car rental websites for National, Enterprise and Alamo car rentals. I enter in all the needed info for location and dates, but when I search, I get an error message that says try again later. See attached screenshot. I am using Firefox 150 and Windows 11. Other car rental sites work fine and I've never encountered this issue before.

When I attempt to access some sites I get the attached pop-up. But when I follow the directions it says to try again. This doesn't happen with other browsers. Is it really a protection or just a way for them to track me which is why I have Firefox?

I received the following error when attempting to access www.choicehotels.com:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.choicehotels.com/" on this server. Reference #18.71cfdb17.1777217251.b86336d7 https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.71cfdb17.1777217251.b86336d7

The same thing happened to me when I attempted to login to the Marriott website a few days ago. Initially, I thought it was Marriott's server that was the problem but since the problem has appeared on two different hotel chains, I suspected the problem was with Firefox's servers. So, to check, I launched the Google Chrome search engine and made the same exact search and the problem away. My search was successful.

Can you please help me so that I don't continue getting these errors? If you are unable to help, I will be forced to remove Firefox from my desktop computer because I need to be able to make hotel reservations without encountering this type of problem.

My computer is an older Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

Thank you.

Yesterday, Facebook started to take longer and longer to load a page. Whenever I tried to post something and it took forevahhhh for it to show up on the timeline. I had to reload and repost several times since yesterday. All other websites are loading up just fine, but Facebook has taken as long as 30 seconds, sometimes even more before it refreshes a page.

Then.. it got worse. All I could see was the Facebook logo in the middle of the screen and nothing else.

Then it got even worse. As of this morning, I can't even get any results when I google Facebook! I put Facebook into the search bar, click return -- and nothing happens, absolutely nothing.

I'm not seeing any problems with any other website. I have already restarted my modem. I have already cleared out the cache and the cookies. I have restarted my laptop three times. I even looked up Downdetector, but there aren't any problems with the website in general.

Those are all the solutions I've found when searching about this, but the problem is only becoming worse, with everything I try. If there's something I need to change in Facebook settings, I can't do that, because now Facebook is completely inaccessible.

This is only happening on my laptop. Mobile is fine.

For the past few days, Facebook has not been loading or when it does finally start to load, it's so very slow. It takes forever when clicking login and then need to keep doing captcha over and over again. I saw that others are having issues, also. Today, I tried connecting with Microsoft Edge (which I hate using unless I need to) and have no problems with it. I clear my cookies and cache when first starting my computer, do a quick scan with Bitdefender and do a disk cleanup. I really don't know what else to do so that I can get back to using on Firefox. I'm not tech savvy and need simple instructions to try to fix this problem.

In the last couple of days, Facebook has stopped opening in Firefox. It just sits on a blank white screen trying to load. I have cleared cache and cookies. I restarted Firefox in Troubleshooting mode. I am able to get the page to load in Chrome, but I prefer using Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi On my laptop when I try to connect to Gmail or any Google site, I always arrive at the help page This happens only on FIREFOX, works fine on EDGE , or on my home computer??? Thanks for your help

Since I loaded the latest update, I have great difficulty loading facebook. Most times it will not load even after system restart. It will load under Google chrome. I prefer firefox. What can be done to correct this problem?

Since the last update on firefox i am unable to open facebook. I have tried all the steps that the help sections suggest clearing cache using troubleshooting still no luck can yo help or tell me how to remove the last update

I’ve been experiencing an issue where dragging a URL or text from Notepad++ into Firefox causes the text to be removed from Notepad++. It behaves like Firefox is requesting a MOVE operation instead of a COPY. This only happens with Firefox, dragging the same text into Vivaldi, Chrome, Edge, etc. does not delete the text.

Here’s everything I’ve already tried:

1. Verified it’s not a Notepad++ setting Disabled “Multi‑Editing” in Notepad++ Restarted Notepad++ Confirmed the issue only happens with Firefox, not other browsers

2. Tested Firefox Safe/Troubleshoot Mode Launched Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (no extensions, no themes, default settings) The issue still happens there, so it’s not caused by an extension or add‑on

3. Created a brand‑new Firefox profile Went to about:profiles Created a completely new, clean profile with no imported data Tested dragging again — the issue still happens even in a fresh profile

4. Reset and recreated drag‑related Firefox preferences I checked and/or reset the following in about:config: ui.dragThresholdX → recreated as Integer = 16 ui.dragThresholdY → recreated as Integer = 16 dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled → set to false browser.drag_out_of_frame_style → set to 0 browser.search.context.loadInBackground → false browser.tabs.searchclipboardfor.middleclick → false browser.urlbar.update1 → false widget.disable-native-drag → true Restarted Firefox after each change. None of these resolved the issue.

5. Tested modifier‑key behavior Holding CTRL while dragging does prevent the text from being deleted → This confirms Firefox is treating normal drags as MOVE instead of COPY.

6. Verified it’s Firefox‑only Dragging the same text from Notepad++ into Vivaldi, Chrome, Edge, Word, Notepad, etc. works normally Only Firefox causes the source text to be removed

I'm at a loss of what the issue can be or where to go from here or if there is no fix at the moment.
