Firefox Community Forum

I recently re-installed FireFox after I suddenly had problems that the profile folder could not be accessed. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it using the download from Mozilla website. This fixed the profile issue. I am using the latest version. Now, I find that most of the time, cnn.com won't load: I see messages on the bottom left corner that it is connecting to all sorts of web sites, in particular it tends to get stuck on "Sending request to signal-metrics-collector-beta.s-onetag.com" . I don't know if it eventually loads, I give up after about 1 minute. In Chrome, cnn.com loads instantly. In Firefox, BBC.com loads instantly. Microsoft.com loads instantly. I have installed the same extensions as before. I started FireFox with all of them turned off, no difference. As I mentioned, it does not load MOST of the time - once in a while it loads instantly, but later on the problem reoccurs. >What is wrong with FireFox and why won't it load CNN as quickly as before? I am using Firefox on Windows 11, I have Malwarebyes installed. Thanks, Adriaan

I have a profile that causes odd behavior, within the profile, and to the OS.

Regarding the profile itself:

1. I use Multiple Tab Handler, which should allow me to move tabs on the tab bar with the mouse, but it does not (see image of proper behavior)

2. Normally, i can drag this padlock button to the desktop to create a shortcut. but now, it will not move/drag (see image 2)

3. I also have a backup profile from several months ago that has none of the above symptoms. However, If I substitute it's sessionstore.jsonlz4 file with the the one from the problematic profile, all the bad behavior mentioned above re-emerges.

I know this sounds strange, but, I also get external display issues when using the broken profile. These events are random, and manifest themselves differently, so I can't duplicate them. Essentially, these snips are examples of images from the taskbar tabs, or the clock area, suddenly superimposing themselves on the top portions of the taskbar toolbar area.

This is the view of my clock area (see next image 3)

In the following image, imagine that the portion on the left, that opens the start menu, is now hidden under what looks exactly like the clock area on the right, superimposed over it (see next image 4)

Those aberrations are removed by simply moving the mouse cursor over them, but they will continue to occur in any number of variations over any area of that top toolbar.

Is there a Session Manager that will save the session, to be later restored into that previous profile, but not also pass along the corruption?

I suspect Firefox Relay is not allowing me to sign into a site on the internet. Following instructions I put the Relay Dashboard in my Firefox Settings or so I thought. How do I locate it?

I take guitar lessons on line and the audio for the lessons has suddenly defaulted to muted and I can't unmute it even with repeated attempts. The speaker icon is x-d out. I've rebooted, gone out and back in to the site and tried it on another browser where it worked fine. Firefox is my preferred. What can I do?

I need my browser to allow ZOOM to screen share. message says browser is blocking this -how do I change this setting or blockage. I need this for meeting Friday am. thank you for your assistance.

I got the following message while trying to access this website https://nubecomun.yanapak.org/ The connection has timed out:

The server at nubecomun.yanapak.org is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

How can I allow Firefox to access the site?

Where is the Cogwheel on the Start page of Firefox? I want to close "Stories". My Start Page does not show it in the Top right of the page as indicated by a Help page. thanks.

I have been using ChatGPT for a few months with no problems on Firefox but today I am not able to enter any text in the text field where you communicate with Chat. However, I can turn on the microphone and then after speaking a command I can hit enter and it works. I can also switch to Chrome and it all works fine. I tried clearing my data and cash, rebooting computer but still isn't working. what's going on?

Is is possible to disable the Autorun feature for downloaded video files in Firefox? I tried the Settings, Privacy & Security, Autoplay changing the setting to Block Audio & Video, but after the file downloads it still runs automatically.
