When I want to access a site, I am told JavaScript needs to be enabled for access. In checking I am told JavaScript is already enabled. To check it, I should about:config in Firefox mobile and toggle JavaScript to true if it is shown as disabled. However, when I do that I am blocked for safety reasons. I want to know what's happening here with JavaScript and Firefox mobile.

Are their any plans anyone knows off to create a version of Firefox that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories.

The current one won't work with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using their online editor - https://bbmo.singularsound.com/ - which forces me to use another browser for that...

I know, sounds stupid, but it is what it is. It happens rarely, only with Firefox on the secondary display from my laptop, via HDMI. It starts with some random few thin horizontal bars across the window itself, and soon, it turns off my display. It seems the bigger the window is, the more severe the issues. So full screen usually, it shuts it off and keeps it off. Not black screen, no signal style. I manage to get it out by Winkey+arrow. If i then put it back same issue. If i lower the width of it, it manages to stay coherent longer, but still resets the display with a quick black screen on page reload. The lower bounds on a 1920x1080 display resolution was 1515 pixels. At 1515 pixels, it works fine, once this is triggered, it's very repeatable on 60-70% of webpages. If i drag another window on top of Firefox, the monitor comes back up.

Before anyone asks: I have tried turning off hardware acceleration. I have tried putting firefox.exe to run on the integrated video card and on the dedicated 1060 Max Q videocard. I have cleared cache and etc.

This persists on a Windows session, across multiple Firefox restarts. A computer restart technically fixes it but i have no clue what triggers it. Laptop monitor works fine.

Full Blank screen when opening new tab or webpage Does this intermittently, at least once per day. Recovery is to clear all active apps from memory, then reopen Firefox; previouse tabs are present.

No relation to number of tabs open or number of other apps open.
This problem has persisted for at least 2 FF build updates.
 It is NOT A MEMORY ISSUE, I checked last failure

Again ONLY in FF harbor freight search function breaks when entering a search.

Yes, please don't give me the MS ctrl-alt-del type of response about cookies.... That was done many times before posting this. The website works fine in Brave. MS Edge well, let's not speak of it in public company shall we.

So, now what the heck is happening to FF???? I have contacted HF three times and they referred me to use other browsers other than FF. No, I DO NOT have multiple extensions nor themes. FF is bare bones but for uBlock. Hardware acceleration is off and MS Clear type is on. Anybody wanna fess up, who broke this????

Free youtube downloader wants my age from Firefox to download popular music videos. I am logged in to FireFox and Free YouTube downloader identifies FireFox as my default browser.

This is really an error for Free YouTube Downloader to correct, but many FireFox users must have solved this already. Any advice?

I understand that Firefox relies on both intermediate and root CA certificates for verifying add-on signatures. There was a recent incident where a root certificate expired on March 14, 2025, as noted in the following article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration

Could you please let me know the latest validity period (expiration date) of the root and intermediate certificates currently used for add-on signature verification in the latest version of Firefox (139.0.4)? I understand the certificates involved may vary depending on the add-on, but I would like to confirm this specifically for the following add-on:

Sending this using Safari because Firefox is totally messed up. Firefox 115.24.0esr (64-bit) OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra 2011 Mac Power Book (MPB) with 16 GB RAM. Verizon DSL line, download speed tests from 10-14 Gb/sec but Latency is always 400-900+ msec. No way to measure Jitter with speedtests that will run on my older system, or Bufferbloat now that DSLreports has gone dark.

I want a tool that will allow me to see all the attempts to connect, and packets/traffic, to see it its my old computer going bad, Firefox, the wireless or wired connection to the DSL modem/router, or the DLS modem/router itself, such as a problem with reaching the Domain Name Server (DNS) etc.

I can access the DSL modem/router in the browser, but there isn't much documentation. Its made by Actiontec but customized firmware for Verizon.

The problem persists whether I am using wifi or an Ethernet cable.

My wifes 2010 MBP computer with 8GB RAM using about 6.4GB, running High Sierra and Firefox 115.24.0 (esr) seems not to have the problem at all.

Firefox will show something in the lower left corner, "connecting to..." or "loading..." etc. It can stall with either status.

Search engines would be StartPage or DuckDuckgo. With DDgo, sometimes it just spins forever, but if I click on the URL bar, it drops down another line with the same URL and "--Visit" appended. Sometimes that will load, but seems random.

Some URLs / links open in a few seconds, some spin forever.

I first called Verizon Tech support on May22 about problems (see full exchange of repeated calls & new trouble tickets below). I think, IIRC, this happens to be shortly after I upgraded my Firefox version. They have admitted to PINGs not returning, packet loss, no excuse for the Latency.

I do have a lot of pages/tabs open; Activity Monitor says my memory use is about 14GB, but the Memory Pressure stays low in the green. I also run Thunderbird, TextEdit, maybe Adobe Reader and Excel. But even when I close everything else, the non-loading issue persists. When I shut down Firefox, the memory pressure can go into the red and take a very long time (so I always shut down all other apps first). A recent shutdown stalled & I ended up losing many open pages/tabs, but even the slimmed down load has the same problem.

I have shut off the AddOn NoScript, but the problem persists.

I'm using Google Docs in Firefox. Every time I right click and then click paste I get a message explaining that Firefox is incompetent and I need to hook my keyboard up to my tablet and use Ctrl + V. And tap/clicking Edit > paste won't work either. I use a mouse with my tablet, but not a keyboard.

How to I get FireFox to allow me to use Right Click or at the very least Edit > paste? Even Opera Browser can paste in a Google Doc.

updated my wife's computer firefox to 115.24.0 (esr) and the profile data is lost (bookmarks, addons...).

Went to about:profile and it says PROFILE IN USE: default esr which is the 5th out of six profiles, top to bottom. It should tell me the creation date for each profile.

The 6th in line says "profile: default -release" Is the last in line the NEWEST profile? Should I set that one to be active ( ie the "default profile)?

This usage of the word DEFAULT in multiple meanings is confusing The display should number each profile and tell the user which is the oldest to newest.

This is acting like it is a new version, not a mere update - the user should be warned before he is allowed to perform that process, and given links to what will need to be done to retrieve the previous Profile.

I'm seeing a new trend with websites that use cloudflare like restaurant accounts, Ace Hardware, and freecycle.org. Cloudflare either rejects me upon clicking it (freecycle), or it keeps cycling with its checkbox and doesn't do anything else (Hyatt). I contacted freecycle.org and they didn't know the reason. However, I can get through cloudflare using the Chrome browser. Is this fixable, because I really want to stay with Firefox? I am up to date on my drivers, Win10, and Firefox. Thanks!

Some web sites such as Amazon have an options bars to select items like 'review order'. When the web page first comes up, they show white in the dark bar. But Firefox is immediately changing the white to purple so that it is almost impossible to read. I haven't been able to find anything in settings to correct this. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.
