With the last couple of updates to Firefox, I can't successfully log in to FB. I get the error msg "Your Request Couldn't be Processed" three times and then I can access FB, but I am then unable to post any images and am forced to leave FB since it is frozen. The other problem I am having is the open tab with Fox news gives me a crash report if I leave it open without viewing it. Whe I try to use Edge, Chrome, or Brave there is no problems for the same sites.

I have made sure I have the latest version of FF, cleared cache and closed all extensions.

My speeddial Amazon dial keeps sending me to Amazon.ca instead of Amazon.com. I have deleted the dial and entered https://www.amazon.com/ as the url but I get sent instead to Amazon.ca (Amazon Canada) I've tried setting the url using the "use open tab" but that doesn't work. I've restarted Firefox and created a new dial for Amazon but that didn't work. Help/about firefox tells me I'm using the latest version (131.0). My other speeddial dials are working correctly. I'm on Windows 10

I haven't been able to watch anything via a streaming service on Firefox for at least a month. This includes Netflix, Amazon, and a couple others, though YouTube continues to work just fine. It also doesn't work in Private Browsing, so I don't think it's the fault of my extensions.

  • In Netflix, I get the error code F7351
  • On Amazon, the error is 7131
  • On other sites, error codes sometimes appear and sometimes don't; usually, the video just won't load or loads in perpetuity

My internet connection is fine at home and fwiw, there doesn't seem to be a difference at my friends' house.

Hello,

In the last 1-2 weeks I experience severe freezing/jank when having multiple tabs open and switching between them. Previously, I didn't have any problem even with 30+ tabs.

After running the profiler with "Firefox" settings applied, I found that the "Parent Process" reports a "Jank" event for the duration of the freeze. See screenshoots attached.

After further testing, this seems to happen when scrolling the Tabs bar at the top. If I scroll the tabs using the new "List all tabs" button or if I use tab switching window, it doesn't happen.

A couple of weeks ago my Firefox desktop suddenly stopped loading images correctly. This is especially true for image-heavy websites like Tumblr. Images will either not load or only partially load. It takes several refreshes to get even 75% of images to load properly (including Shift+Ctrl+R). My Internet connection and speed are normal. Weirdly, other browsers loaded images fine at first, but now they're laggy, too? They still work better in comparison, though. And the Internet on my iPhone and iPad are perfectly fine.

I've tried all of these multiple times: Restarting my PC, Internet, and router. Disabling certain extensions (especially those for Tumblr and ad blockers). Restarting in Troubleshoot Mode without extensions. Reducing number of tabs.

I tried the different Profile trick I found Googling this issue to death, and it works, but I want to fix my default profile's issues if I can. Oh, and YouTube is insufferable to watch and crashes the browser, but I suspect that might have to do more with what YouTube's trying to do with ad blockers. Especially since Chrome isn't much better on that count (aside from the crashing).

Edit: This issue started occurring around the time I downloaded the last Firefox update before the latest one. I thought installing the latest one might solve the problem, but it didn't. This might just be a coincidence.

Firefox (and thunderbird, as well) seems to be suspending network activity when doing a vt-switch or user-switching or locking the screen. The effect of this is that ongoing downloads freeze and are resumed (sometimes fail) only after unlocking the screen.

Chromium, wget, etc., on the other hand appear unaffected and the download progresses during screen lock / vt-switch.

I do not remember when exactly this problem started, but could have been since a couple of years.

This problem also occurs when running the latest firefox (downloaded tarball from mozilla site) and a blank profile. So it could be some interaction between firefox and the window manager / xsession.

My setup is a desktop computer connected via ethernet cable running XFCE on Debian.

How do I go about diagnosing / fixing the issue?

Thank you. Raj Kiran

After the 128.3.0 update nothing in my email works. I can't send or receive emails. I wrote and email and since it wouldn't send I wanted to save it and could not save it. Initially I got the message that my email accounts were black listed. That stopped and I got another error message that kept repeating itself. I am not sure what that said anymore. I rebooted my computer and now it just doesn't work. I checked my settings and they are still correct.

Is there any way that I can go back to the last update? Is there anything I can do to fix this one without losing all of my saved emails? I am using Windows 11.

On 10-3-24, after logging in correctly, the FF browser for Windows would not open, or allow me to enter the site. According to the site's support person, my login was granted, but FF would not open the site to me. FF kept recycling the site's login page. The web site's support person suggested something changed with FF to prevent me accessing the site. I was able to enter the site using Chrome, which I do not like. Any known changes to the FF browser? Any suggestions?
