Firefox Community Forum

As it says in the subject title. After performing a search and executing it. A new tab opens that displays about:blank. This occurs everytime an serach is performed the first time when opening Firefox. My current home page is set to Yahoo.com but will happen using any search engine.

When the tab is closed and the search is initiated again on the initial page. The search results populate. This is persistent and repeatable. This has happened since the previous update from the current version 149.0,2 on a Windows 11 pc.

The same thing happens on another pc that I use. And started happening without any prior glitches.

I have hased this question with no response since noticing the issue using the previous version.

Also. I have tried online suggestions to repair the issue with no positive results.

Needing a rapid fix.

I am unable to download a bank statement pdf from my online banking, using Firefox. I AM able to downoad it using Google Chrome. I am able download OTHER pdfs on Firefox - just not my bank statements! I HAVE been able to download bank statements successfully in the past, using Firefox, but now am unable to. When I try to download statement from the bank website, firstly I get a black screen with small message saying "No preview available", and an invitation to download. On clicking Download, I'm taken to a white page saying "Error No API key found in request. request_id: a2ad87061f2bed614b1d53708d35cb26", but no further options. I've exchanged messages with my bank, who've found no solution, and advised me to look into it with you guys - ie, Firefox browsing. I've played around with Firefox settings, cookies, security settings, etc, but all to no avail.

Any clues how I can resolve this?

I've exported my bookmarks as an HTML file on my old computer (Win 11 Firefox ver 149.0.2) using a USB drive and tried to upload the file to my new computer (Win 11 Firefox Ver 149.0.2.). Only a few dozen of hundreds of bookmarks transferred. Repeated tries simply add the same bookmarks to the menu.

I've tried sync. Both computers are signed in and are correctly listed in the connected services box. Syncing is ON and when I select the Sync Now button on either computer screen, the Sync Now switches very briefly to Syncing and then back to Sync Now. Sync has transferred no data from my old computer to my new computer.

Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks, Jagwriter

When loading some pages, after the latest update to Firefox, I noticed that many websites started, loading slowly or waiting for other content requested by scripts to time out before continuing to load the content of the page. Some taking 20-100 seconds to throw an http error/timeout in the network tab. I even tried it having all my extensions disabled, vanilla FireFox and I still have the above issue.

The only fix I have now is using uBlock or some other plugin to block the url's of resources that are not loading or have been timing out. One such website/url being cdn.cookielaw.org has been the worst making it seem like some websites were straight up broken and unable to load.

Anyway I have fixed this issue by doing the above and blocking the urls of content that doesn't load but I don't think this is intended behavior as I can't reproduce it on other browsers besides FireFox.

When I open a website that requires my computer's camera, nothing displays except a black box, even though the camera is allowed in both Firefox and on the website.

So far hate new Firefox that I have been forced to switch to - very annoying and such a waste of my time trying to sort out my bookmarks. May make me switch to Edge or something.

Followed the instructions - C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - found a backup but no information as to how to get the bookmarks into the new Firefox?????

Many of us are older users and perhaps not so savvy as to how to do this.

And so it would have been nice if Firefox could have been more "nice and be specific" with this forced change over.

Thank you

I am running windows 11. I routinely use firefox to access wireclub.com. Two days ago I started getting the following error:

I tried clearing my cache that did not work. All other sites other than wireclub.com are working fine. I can access wireclub.com with Microsoft edge no problem. Any suggestions

I began receiving this error message two days ago when attempting to play Zynga Farmville 2. Never had this issue before on my desktop. TYIA for a solution. fyi I used the website directly from the Zynga site and I tried the Farmville 2 Launcher

"Looks like there’s a problem with this site

zy2.farm2.zynga.com sent back an error.

Error code: 504 GATEWAY_TIMEOUT What can you do about it?

Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly."

On the new tab page I have set for 4 rows of shortcuts. In the fourth row I have 3 open spaces for tiles/shortcuts. There is no way to add the tiles whereas there was previously a tile that would show that said "+add shortcut". Given I have room in the row to add 3 shortcuts, how do I add tiles to allow for added shortcuts?

I'd like to make it so every time I click a link to navigate a certain website, it opens in a new tab. I don't want every link I press across the web to open in new tabs, just this one site. Can't find any settings or extensions for this, but it seems like something someone must have made. Can anyone help?

I'm going crazy trying to use the Suno AI music app that I have on my desktop computer here on this laptop. I use Google chrome on my desktop for Suno because it didn't want to work with Edge. I works fine with Chrome. Chrome didn't let Suno run on my laptop so a friend of mine said to use Firefox. So I've spent half the afternoon trying to migrate files, programs, apps and data from my desktop over to my new laptop. My desktop is Windows 10 and my new laptop is Windows 11 if that make any difference. I can just click a tab on my windows 10 desktop and bring up all of my files and saved songs on Suno. That's a far cry from what I'm experiencing here on my laptop. I can't bring up Suno no matter what I do. I need to be able to be mobile with a laptop for my music and recordings. Please help`````!!!!! I keep changing passwords, passcodes, etc, trying to get in.
