Firefox Community Forum

I have used Firefox for more years than I care to remember, but at the moment I'm forced to use Safari, which is OK but missing several vital features for me like translating Greek web pages!

The problem I have is this:- Whenever My M2 macbook Air running Sonoma 14.7.2 goes to sleep and wake it the screen is flickering and needs a hard restart. After lots of trial and error it appears to be something to do with Firefox version 133.0.3 (aarch64) as it only happens when I leave Firefox running.

I have run the Apple offline diagnostics multiple times immediately after the crash but I never get any reported errors. Interestingly I get no dialog from Apple that my Mac has crashed or needed to be restarted

I have restarted my Mac into safe mode, same problem

I have refreshed Firefox several times, same problem

Any help woulld be much appreciated!

Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to you all

Thank you, Peter

so i signed into my firefox account on a new computer and every time i hit the sync now button it brings a pop up for half a second then it disappears and no changes happen to my bookmarks or any of my other synced data.looked through the forums could not find anything that was even similar to my problem

As title. Installed the latest update as soon as i came out. I get the "Welcome to Firefox" tab and the 2nd tab "Firefox Privacy Notice" opened.

The 1st "Welcome" tab, has the box and buttons asking me to import old setting and all that jazz. I have down in quiet a few times and nothing is taken root. I have went through the process of installing all my old addons and extensions, I am not sure how many times, as I use them every time I open my browser to watch Twitch or Youtube, Beyond 20, and what have you. And of course it keeps resetting my toolbar and the bookmarks and settings on my homepage.

I thought at first, it might be buggy and after a day or two it would get fixed an updated. But alas, nothing thus far and this is forcing me to use other craptastic browsers I rather not even have installed on my system.

I have refreshed Firefox a time or two, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I am afraid to completely wipe it out, as I do not want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other saved information, that I probably should not have saved but I do because my memory is "teh suck".

I would appreciate any insight on how tor resolve this issue.

Thanks!

I have tried installing extensions on https://addons.mozilla.org. Everything else online works fine, but https://addons.mozilla.org gives me "Download failed. Please check your connection. " after 10 minutes of loading icon. Browsing works fine. I have tried with and without a VPN. It used to work. Other devices, and firefox on dualbooted linux work fine.

I switch from Chrome to Firefox and imported all my "bookmarks". How do I view all the folders I had in my Chrome bookmarks? If I click the >> at the top, the bookmarks are not listed the way they were on Chrome, and I can't find the numerous folders of bookmarks that I had set up. In the saved links that do show up in the list, I see hundreds of links but they are unorganized. An outdated folder that says "Imported from IE" shows up in the list several times, but it's not the list I had on Chrome. Help ;>)

Hello

For a while I have been selecting wall street journal articles and then clicking "listen".

A few weeks ago this stopped working on one computer a fairly new Lenovo running Windows 11. Currently running firefox 133.0.3. When I click "listen" on any article, nothing happens. Clicking "listen" on another Windows-11 computer on the same article does work, so apparently something is wrong with the settings on this one computer. Any suggestions please?

thanks

Ben

The issue is I do not have "Pictures" highlighted under the "Insert" menu. However, I do have "Attach file" which I did but once attached to the email I cannot drag the picture into the text and scale it as in the past.

When I try to insert/drag the picture into the text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: Filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears at the very top of the display.

"Link", "Pictures", "Emoji", and "Table" are all not hi-lighted. Do not know why???

Says Firefox is up to date!

I have tried to resolve this issue recently with no results.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Good day. I'm thinking of deleting Firefox. It's simply impossible to use it on some sites. For example, I can't write a comment on YouTube because the browser freezes. Page scrolling and controls also freeze. I turned off browser extensions, but it doesn't help. I have 48GB of DDR5 memory and one of the best processors available today...

My gyazo extension stopped working .. i can not access my gyazo acc with firefox . i been using gyazo with firefox for years.. I was able to log in using chrome. But i like firefox. i have contacted gyazo support and ran threw all the listed trouble shooting steps. This just started in the past few days. Idk if there was a update or windows update or what . i tried everything . Anything you can add would be great.

This is the page i get when i try to log in. "Checking your browser before accessing gyazo.com ... Click here if you are not automatically redirected after 5 seconds." then nothing happens.

When i try to log in to Gyazo it goes to a web page that says

"Checking your browser before accessing gyazo.com ... Click here if you are not automatically redirected after 5 seconds."

I can log in via chrome and i can log in via firefox on my ipad. I looked at my malwarebytes and its not blocked there. So i know my acc is good. I know it will log in with firefox on my ipad. just not my Win11 Desktop Firefox.

Reloading existing tabs or entering full URLs works. Toggling "Work Offline" on and off does not fix the problem and the only workaround is restarting Firefox.

This is triggered by laptop doing sleep/wake transitions so I strongly suspect this is related to Firefox online/offline detection.

Why am I getting this message quite often for the last few weeks? When I am following a link to a new website I get this message much more than I ever did in the past.

Hi, my session with a lot of open tabs has been lost due to a crash. In the profile folder, the recovery and previous files in the sessionstore-backups have been deleted. I tried to recover them using shadow explorer, but these files are corrupted, so I've had no success reading them. Is there a way to fix the corrupted files? Alternatively, because I've had sync enabled for open tabs, is there a log for past open tab synchronizations? If this was stored on the cloud, it may be possible to retrieve that table and restore the list of open tabs that way?

So I have been having a problem with firefox where the window turns completely blank randomly. this happens more often when I have a private tab open. It would literally turn blank every few seconds. Usually when I alt tab it goes away, but then it happens again after a few seconds. The weird thing is is that this only happens on Windows. Both 10 and 11. I also have Linux installed on the same PC and there it doesn't happen. I've reinstalled my Windows multiple times yet the problem remains. Firefox forks like Waterfox also have this problem.

I got an email that my account was signed in to. I logged in and found a connected service. I tried to sign them out, and the system will not allow me to do so. I was able to sign out a different one, but not this one. Please advise.

Hello.

For the past few months, I've been experiencing severe issues with performance that I noted appear only on YouTube. I have not noticed this on any other website. The site is unresponsive, takes a long time to load, key presses (pause, skip 10s, etc.) are registered with a massive delay. It is generally very unpleasant to use.

I have tried disabling all extensions, clearing data, I even reinstalled the entire operating system once for a different reason and the issue still persisted. I launched YouTube on different browsers (Chrome) with no performance issues at all.

I lived with this problem for a long time now, but recently it's becoming unbearable. I prefer Firefox to Chromium-based browsers, but as YouTube is a site I visit very frequently, I will unfortunately consider switching to another browser.

I have not found any useful resources regarding this issue on the Internet, it seems like it's not a common problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Firefox is using too much of my Pcs proccessing power and causing my pc to freeze. The videos Im watching and twitch will just freeze then I have to hard reset my pc because the windows option to shut down or restart will do nothing. Even when I hit window+ctrl+shift+b to reset my graphics card it does nothing. please help me or I will have to stop using firefox which Ive been using for 20 years.
