Firefox Community Forum

I keep getting a small box that appears in the upper right corner of my yahoo email home screen that says it is from Firefox and asks if I want to upgrade to the latest version of firefox. If so click here and the upgrade will be installed and your open website connections will still be open once it has been accomplished.

I'm nervous about just believing anything that is presented or pitched to me on the internet.

Upon accessing the firefox website just now under upgrades it says that upgrades to firefox will be made automatically as appropriate, but if I want to manually install an upgrade there is a way to do it.

• • • Is the small box offering to upgrade my firefox browser actually from firefox? Or some scammer?

I'm thinking that if upgrades are done automatically, why would I get this box asking me if I want to install the latest upgrade?

Hello, I am trying to login to my account on www.zazzle.com and use their site. Sometimes it will let me through and I can be on the site for about 20 minutes before a captcha comes up that says press and hold this button so we know you are not a bot. Well the button never works, it always errs out and gives me the message to please try again, and then locks me out of their site. I have tried clearing my cache and cookies, updating my browser, resetting the router, I don't have any VPN's, I have tried working in a private window, adding the website to the privacy exceptions, block pop up windows is unchecked, I am out of ideas, what do I do??

I read the The Times in the UK and have no problem viewing on my iPad and Google Pixel phone using the Firefox browser. However on my laptop using Firefox I get a screen that says Secure connection failed and recommends contacting the vendor as there is no workaround. On microsoft Edge there is no problem I like Firefox but for me this is a major limitation. Any ideas or suggestions welcome

Dear all,

I just found that in Firefox 139 for Android the menu buttons "Install" and "Add to Home Screen" disappeared. I tried deleting the cache, reinstalling, restarting the smartphone. I tried different websites, included well-known PWA apps (i.e. https://github.com/mdn/pwa-examples ).

I'm on Lineage 22.2.

The community guides still report the availability of this feature: https://mzl.la/3p7ltJx

Am I missing something?

Example with facebook.com in the images. Note that on x.com a popup asks me if I want to installa the app version of the website, but the menu options are still missing. It's only website I found where that popup shows up.

I've had this issue for years, but it was always something I could live with. The Issue would only appear once every week or so. However, recently the issue seems basically happen on a daily basis.

After Firefox has been running for some time and there's a few other tabs open, The YouTube UI will periodically become completely unresponsive.

Just moving the cursor on top of Youtube will cause 100% + CPU in the Firefox task manager and the page is entirely unresponsive during that time (except video playback)...

This issue has persisted through reinstalls, new profiles and is also present without extensions.

This is a performance Profile of the Issue: https://share.firefox.dev/4kNlhKD

Any tips on how to maybe diagnose this are very much appreciated!

accuweather weather radar has stopped working with firefox a month or so ago, but same radar works with chrome. I have sent the question to them, got back a ticket # and generic "we will look into it" right away. Nothing further from them further despite four more requests. I have tried deleting cache an cookies, typed their address into the search bar instead of using my bookmark, and one by one disabled add-ons, still no joy.

115.24.0esr (64-bit), Win7...careful, I like it ;-) 8, 10, 11, 23, whatever, not so much

I have been using firefox for 3 to 4 years now and it's the best brower i have ever used but from a few months it have gotten too slow i am a student and need to create projects and research alot so i have to open around 20 tabs at a single time but before even after opening 30 tabs it would be fast as ever. I don't have any security extension or whatever i just have AdGuard AdBlocker extention, volume booster and grammerly and screenshot taker and hoxx vpn (it was before as well) but the firfox has become so slow now. (I have custom and max protection on) and additional windows protection too. and sometimes it just stop responding and also hangs up and closes own it own and it takes too much time to load and also if my wallpaper theme is animated it's Animated Colorful Plexus by candelora" if it slow the firefox then let me know and also it uses a lot ram of my computer too.

I have came to ask if anyone else has had problems with downloading a mod off of nexusmods.com and if there is a solution I have been having to switch to google chrome which I'd rather not because its so resource intensive on the computer

As of a few days ago (potentially coinciding with the most recent update?) I've had several websites become varying degrees of unresponsive when using Firefox while being connected to a VPN (Nord, in this case).

Some sites will load but then get throttled--i.e. YouTube will load and (usually) populate thumbnails, but clicking on a video will result in the video instantly dropping to its lowest available resolution, playing for a few seconds, and then stalling. Interestingly(?) if I try to watch a live stream, chat will be fully functional but the video will be unable to load. Other sites will load but then very quickly stop responding at all. Others are straight up just not loading period, while many others have no issues at all.

I've cleared my cache, deleted cookies for the affected sites, tried Firefox in a private window, tried Firefox with no extensions, and reinstalled both Nord and Firefox to no avail. All of the affected sites are fully functional so long as I'm not connected to a VPN, and are also fully functional on other browsers, even while connected to a VPN. All other non-browser related applications that require the internet are also unaffected, and my internet speeds in general aren't showing any issues.

I've been unable to find any other chatter about this anywhere, and I unfortunately don't have any other devices available to try and replicate the issues. I would not be surprised if it was one of those wonderful Me Exclusive DNS issues or something, but figured it was worth throwing out there.

I had to quit Firefox this morning because of a problem with my proxy and when it reopened it had updated to Firefox 139. In the process, I lost my entire browsing history and all open tabs from my previous session. Although in settings I have "Open previous windows and tabs" selected always, when Firefox restarted the browsing history was empty and "Restore previous session" was not an option under history, nor were "Recently closed tabs" or "Recently closed windows." I cannot locate any backup files in the Firefox library on my computer (MacBook Air running Ventura 13.7.5). I really need to be able to restore the previous session, please let me know if this is possible.

Ran into an interesting bug with Firefox since installing the macOS26 Dev beta. Whenever I use command space to bring up spotlight, Firefox become unresponsive, the beach ball will spin. It will only happen if Firefox is in focus when I use spotlight, and only if I am signed into Firefox sync.

I am not sure of a way to help replicate this issue as it seems to only happen when signed with Sync, but I would be happy to provide additional if I can.

Hello: FF 140.b9 64b w11p. Are there ANY search engines (not nec browsers, just want to do a search in the address bar or search field) that do NOT go to an AI site to search? I want to minimize my use of AI technology, which uses extremely environmentally costly data farms. Thank you.

Firefox is not loading on my desktop full sceen. I can see a small page minimalized when I put my curser on the Firefox icon. This has happened once before and I had to uninstall and install and I lost a lot of settings doing that. Please advise. Picture on the left is what I see, not the other.
