Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

When I scroll down to look at recent posts on Facebook groups I follow all but the top one has suddenly lost its date/time – I just get a blank where the details would usually be and have to hover over to reveal the details. The silly thing is that this only happens when I sign in and it doesn’t happen when I use chrome – although I prefer using Firefox, not least because the bookmarks sidebar is better. I have tried getting rid of all extensions and running in troubleshoot mode but without success. Any help/advice would be appreciated (as long as it is not about football!)

Whenever I try to download a file from google drive, I get: "The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to drive.google.com. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

Downloading google docs files from drive works fine, they convert to word and save to my downloads like normal. But downloading image files or pdfs yields this error. Right-clicking and downloading them from the folder view just does nothing. There is no difference between shared files and my own drive files. This error only happens in firefox, I can download files on microsoft edge just fine.

This has been happening for a few weeks now. Things I've tried:

-clearing cookies and cache -restarting firefox, restarting computer -checking for updates and updating firefox -disabling all my add-ons -clearing startup cache -adding drive.google.com and google.com to the exceptions for enhanced tracking protection -switching from standard to custom and unchecking cookies from the list of trackers and scripts to block, then clearing all cookies and cache -attempting to download in firefox troubleshoot mode -attempting to download in incognito mode -refreshing firefox -re-installing firefox by following the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1233618 -turned off real-time protection on computer antivirus (default for windows 10) -turned off microsoft defender firewall

I don't even know what else I can try. I assume it's a firefox error because this only happens using firefox on my laptop - I use firefox mobile and can download the same files on my phone. Does anyone have any advice?

Hi, I have firefox on my Ubuntu 23.04. When i start it it shows a black screen. I click quit on my system and then i startup and it lunches normally. What am I doing wrong or how to fix it?

Since yesterday on Facebook I can't see the time a post was written like I always had and like it happensa for example on Chrome, does this is happening to others?

Received this message thismorning while using my Ledger device:-

Something went wrong-U2F browser support is needed for Ledger. Please use Chrome, Opera or Firefox with a U2F extension. Also make sure you're on a HTTPS connection.

If I have to go more than 2 steps into a web site, example accessing my propane account, Firefox hangs up and I need to use a different browser to access my account. This happened with ChatGPT, when I got to the log in page Firefox hung up, I used the CCleaner browser to get into the website. I'm guessing I have something setup in the security settings of Firefox that's blocking me.

I'm not able to any DRM content on my Firefox. It's playing properly on Chrome as well as Prime Video apps on my Windows. I tried submitting crash reports from my account.

I tried reading Get help section, but most of the doubts were on MacOS.

Windows specification Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎29/‎9/‎2022 OS build 22621.1105 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0

It has been happening with the latest update for last 1 month. It was working earlier as expected.

I'm using Firefox Version 109.0.1 (64-bit)

I've already tried reinstalling Firefox on my Windows, but It didn't work.

I am currently using a Yahoo Mail account and have been for years but recently when on the yahoo mail page I get a red notification tellimg me I'm not connected to the internet on the tab displaying Yahoo Mail.

All other open tabs are able to access the net with no problem.

The only way to clear the issue is to open task manager, select all user info whereupon I will see one or two entries under Firefox using massive amounts of memory, i.e most open windows will have between 4.000k and 10.000k allocated but the top two entries arranged under memory use will both be firefox showing around 13.000.000k and 1.500.000k but with no information to identify which tab in firefox is using that amount.

If you select the 13.000.000 and end process, it ends that entry and nothing happens, if you then end the 1.500.000 process it crashes firefox and every single tab and window closes.

Restart firefox and it will open with the session restore page, hit restore existing session and watch the pages reopen and one iteration will head for the 13.000.000 mark again and Yahoo will not load at all.

It usually takes one or two more crashes until the session restores and Yahoo Mail loads and opens as if nothing has happened.

Today however after 4 attempts I eventually got a cannot find server notice on the yahoo page so I hard reset my router and after manually diabling and re enabling my network adapter my computer re-established a newtwork connection but when I restarted Firefox again the restore session was greyed out and only the new session button was available.

In the new session it loaded Yahoo mail immediately and when I tried to see if I could manually restore the session using the top right menu button, there is no session restore information or button at all.

Go to the history tab and there are no closed tabs or windows ( both greyed out) but the recent history display and the history itself is showing all the previousl pages.

I searched online and found this link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267353#:~:text=If%20your%20tabs%20disappeared%20and%20the%20previous%20session,3.%20Close%20Firefox%20Delete%20sessionstore.jsonlz4%20file%20More%20items but none of the information in it matches anything in my file system even though I too am still using Windows 7. This is the version in the update history Firefox 108.0.2 (20230104165113) Details Installed on: 6 January 2023 at 15:40:33 Status: The Update was successfully installed

Can anyone help with the why one particular tab in firefox keeps trying to monopolise memory use for itself and how to stop it, and whether there is any way to recover the previous session information as I can't find anythig remotely relating to it on my system at all:-(

Thanks

I'm not going to fight with this very long, this will instantly make me go back to chrome or even edge. I might even go to opera, as all the suggested forums when searching this issue get too deep, too technical, and too much time for me even to bother with on a browser. It's easier to install another one and should not even be this way in the first place.

That being said, it's usually not hard to fix these issues by simply disabling the way firefox copy/pastes intelligently. I don't want it to be intelligent. I want pure text only.

I do not understand why CTRL+C and CTRL+V isn't working. Even when I try to take the text I TYPED, out into a text document, I copy, and don't even get CLOSE to what I see I'm copying, this is ultterly the worst bug I've ever seen. It doesn't even make sense, all my paragraphs are backwards, sentences in the wrong places. A simple copy and paste, should copy and paste not modify the contents. If it can't see what I'm typing then it has a problem. I can see it fine. It's simply an unusable program 2 days after switching.

So where's the setting (If not any please let me know I'll uninstall immediately) to fix this. I want firefox only to copy raw text data period every time. I don't care if it has HTML code etc, I'll just cut the edges off. All I want is text only.

To add to this, this seems to be a multiple faceted issue. CTRL+Z fails to work properly. CTRL+X fails to cut properly. CTRL+Y fails to redo properly. Everything has completely butchered my long explanations and technical support making this browser absolutely useless to me. I'd rather have internet explorer 6 than this.

With update 113.0.2 I am seeing 13 processes running using 670mb of memory with no add-ons running and the support tab open. The browser starts crashing with six or seven tabs open.

For approximately three days now, I can't play any YouTube videos. I just get the spinning icon and suggestion to restart but it never resolves. I have tried a couple things but am currently not all that savvy and just want them to work! They will play fine in Opera, but I hate switching browsers just for that site.

The last day or two, I notice that once I have multiple tabs open in firefox, I cannot move/drag them around anymore in the tab bar, changing their order.

To date, I have restarted windows, restarted firefox, made sure both Windows AND Firefox are fully up to date (On a PC), and I have even tried starting FireFox in safe mode- I still cannot drag tabs.

sign in to email and box appears saying 'Stay signed in so you don't have to sign again' - 3 boxes 'YES" "NO" "DON'T SHOW THIS AGAIN" tick any box and no change next time

Every time I try to login to a different page my firefox crashes.

I also did get the attached message, wasn't forsure if this was apart of the issue?

I have tried to dump the preferences, clear cache, restart, clear history.

Running Firefox 102.11.0esr on Debian 11 desktop

Firefox is very, very slow in responding to the cursor which doesn't show up as an arrow initially (as it normally would) - so if I point at Reply (for example), normally the cursor would be an arrow, the Reply box would turn yellow and I would click which would activate the command. At the moment there is no arrow, the Reply box stays grey and nothing happens if I click the mouse button. Eventually though after about two minutes the action is done. This is happening with any command in Firefox, e.g. trying to delete text in a draft message or trying to open an email in my inbox etc. etc. - all of it is the same as above and takes about two minutes to happen.

'Still having scrolling issues on facebook, where scrolling will jump forward, has this been fixed yet or what's happening? this has happened ever since i installed Firefox, on a fresh install or windows 11 Pro, it's very annoying.'
