The only Firefox will open a link in a new tab is if I force it to do so by right clicking each link and choosing open in new tab. Before it automatically opened in a new tab.

The issue is similar to the this"Firefox version 137 browser update gives errors in web application when submitting form - ns_error_net_empty_response, and does not load js libraries - NS_binding_aborted" But did not see any response for this issue.

Any solution as I am seeing this error only from firefox 140 esr verion prior to this it always worked for me. I checked for the solution related to " NS_binding_aborted" error on firefox but no luck did not find anything much.

I would highly appreciate for your support if you could find and tell me what is causing this error "NS_binding_aborted""on firefox 140. or else if you can tell me what is changed in firefox 140 version.

Firefox crashes whenever it would need access to my camera or microphone. So far it has only happened whn trying to access a Roll20 game with camera and microphone connectivity, and when trying to access a video appointment for Universal Credit. It never happened on Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 it happens every time without fail, and the crash is immediate.

Firefox won't sync anything since a while back, maybe since two months back, I am unable to force sync. Clearing cashe, uninstalling the app, relogging both phone and pc, neither of these syncs bookmarks across the devices. I am able to send tabs in-between the devices. Biggest issue is I can't save bookmarks on one device and expect them to be available on my other device Nokia 7.2

Hi all. I'm trying to add Instapaper's 'Send to Kindle Bookmarklet' to the Menu Bar of Firefox on Mac and it won't work.

I've followed Mozilla suggestions when bookmarklets fail to add (essentially it's about making sure the places.sqlite-wal file in the Profiles folder is unlocked -- which it now is), but nothing changes.

Following other articles online, I've discovered that Bookmarklets in general (ie not just this one) won't install, though I have cookies temporarily off, pop-ups temporarily unblocked, the specific site marked as an exception etc, but nothing works.

Because it's not just an Instapaper issue, I'm hoping someone here more tech-minded than me might know the solution.

Many thanks in anticipation.

I had to reset my computer and have encountered a problem getting a link to load. In my Facebook, I have a game I play (Doubledown casino) and when I click a link for that game to add chips, it will not process. All I get is a spinning circle. What do I have to do to get the link(s) to process? Thank you.

FF 115.27.0 esr Desktop Win 7 Pro 64 bit. I regularly use a web site where the drop down box and other link do not work. https://nypost.com/us-news/. Nothing happens when click on the "Section" drop down at top of page. When get to the bottom of the page and click "See more stories" nothing happens. The web site works fine if I use Chrome on this pc and when I use FF on my Win 10 pc. I have tried disabling add-ons, start FF in Troubleshoot mode, refreshing FF, and disabling Tracking Protection. About the only thing I have done is remove FF and re-install. Any ideas?

Ubuntu - I use the SNAP version of Firefox - I generally have lots of tabs open but only use 5 or so of them and it's generally fine.... but when I am closing Firefox, it USES like 100% of the CPU and ALL of the RAM and ALL of the SWAP memory when closing.

This locks up the computer.

Sometimes it doesn't quite go all the way but I can watch it all happen in real time, using Task Manager - and that shows a solidwall of all resources occouring, when the close Firefox is run.

I am told by research via ChatGPT that this is a very real problem with the SNAP version and it's best to change to the Debian version, copy all the bookmarks etc., across and then uninstall the SNAP version.

It's rather disconcerting to have Linux crash because of this one app locking it up and frequently.

Chat GPT:

Is there a problem with Firefox Snap Version closing and using all the resources while doing so, which results in locking up the computer?

You're definitely not imagining it—there have been reports of Firefox's Snap version consuming excessive system resources (CPU, memory) and even causing lockups or hangs, particularly during closure. Here's what’s going on and how to mitigate it:

What’s Happening with Firefox Snap?

2. Browser Hangs or Locks the System on Close

On Linux (especially Ubuntu), users have reported that closing Firefox can lead to it hanging in memory, sometimes unresponsive and still consuming resources.
Super User
Ask Ubuntu
A stark example from Reddit illustrates the severity:
“About 50% of the time I open Firefox, it'll reach 100% CPU usage in about 30 seconds… PC completely unusable unless I shutdown.”
Reddit

3. Known Wayland Sway Bug

On Wayland/Sway setups, reloading Sway while Firefox is open can trigger intense logging, causing high CPU use and an enormous syslog.
Fix: Set MOZ_DISABLE_WAYLAND_PROXY=1, or upgrade to FF 125 where the issue is addressed.

Alternative Approach

Many users, particularly on Ubuntu, opt out of Snap completely in favor of the .deb package or PPA builds. These alternatives often avoid these specific issues. Ask Ubuntu Reddit

Thanks in advance.

I am a Firefox user for the last 20 years. I frequently use Google Translate, and I depend on the voice-to-text feature. However, when I try to use it in Firefox, I get the message: “Voice input is not supported on this browser.”

Because of this, I am being forced to switch to Google Chrome, which I don’t really want to do. Is there any workaround, add-on, or upcoming plan to bring proper voice input support to Firefox?

Hi, so my problem is I need to keep using the keyboard for surfing the net on my Windows PC, because of pain issues with using the mouse too often. The most difficult part is that Firefox comes with a lot of these top-most balloons with feature suggestions like "did you know you can use an AI bar now..." etc.

Btw, I don't mean any popups from websites. Mozilla just shows the feature info balloons (or tool tips?) when you are on a website, but it's never the website that bothers me.

There is no way to hide these mozilla popups using the keyboard except opening a new tab with Ctrl+T.

So... is there anything to get rid off all feature-news or mozilla-suggesions etc?

Thank you!
