Firefox Community Forum

For days I have been seeing Firefox be very slow to load a page (as in minutes) or stop working entirely. At the same time Chrome works fine. Mac Mail has become intermittent as well. I have uninstalled Norton products and changed Network proxy settings many times. Nothing helps. I have created new profiles. I switch between profiles. I have hacked into my WiFi router. Nothing, nothing helps. Safari hangs up too. Firefox on my android phone continues to work properly when using my Wifi router -the same router my Mac Studio connects to the internet with. I can access my third party mail service via Firefox on my android phone. Both FireTV devices work. I am at my wit's end. At this point I have shifted all of my work over to Chrome.

I have cleared caches. I have gotten rid of all cookies. I have restarted Firefox and rebooted my computer countless times.

Hi All,

I have a number of computers that I would like to have configured identically, including Firefox's extensions. Is there a mechanism that I could use to automatically install a list of extensions on my (linux, windows) computers?

TIA, Mike.

https://www.wrightbroslandscaping.com/ won't open, gives me "Secure Connection Failed" message. I want it to open anyway.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

usually I am given the option to open it anyway, but not on this page.

Forum users : Gmail on my Windows 10 PC runs very slowly when the Lastpass extension is enabled. This ONLY happens with Gmail. In fact I get an alert that Lastpass is slowing down Firefox. Gmail is fine when the extension is removed. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so have you found a solution other than removing the Lastpass extension?

Thanks!

Scenario.

Open Firefox on Ubuntu Arm64 (Snapdragon X Elite, Asus Vivobook S15).

Open any page with scrolling.

Try to scroll page via mouse-wheel

Result: Firefox crashes.

Hello, using Windows Version 22H2 (Build 19045.5965), Firefox 139.0.4, Thunderbird 139.0.2, I can drag multiple emails from Thunderbird but not drop them into Firefox (the stop symbol appears and does not let me finish the action). However, dragging and dropping single emails does work. Firefox does not understand the imap address but the drop is registered which is all that is relevant to me. Is this a bug/missing feature in Firefox or a problem with Thunderbird and Firefox on Windows? Or is there a way to do it by simply adjusting (preferrably very few) settings? Dragging and dropping multiple emails using Thunderbird and Firefox on Linux Mint works fine. Dragging and dropping multiple emails from the Windows Explorer to Firefox also works fine. In testing, the issue only arose using Thunderbird + Firefox, Chromium-based browsers also worked fine with Thunderbird. If this is the wrong forum to ask such a question because this should rather be in a bug tracker or something similar, please let me know. If this should be on the Thunderbird thread instead of Firefox, also let me know. Thank you for your help.

Clearly your crappy browser system won't stop crashing my tabs with its stupid updates randomly out of no where while I'm in the middle of working on something. I can't even report bugs in games anymore because I go to pastebin to post a crash log, and firefox decides to say 'RESTART FIREFOX TO CONTINUE USING' for no reason. I am very angry, this happens so often its ridiculous. I have updates set to "check and choose" and yet your browser keeps crashing all tabs all windows telling me to restart to continue using, and only today did I realize it said it was related to an update. This is unacceptable behavior. This browser is becoming unbearable. Crashing/updating in the middle of my work is very bad, and this is getting old. Obviously this time it was an unwarranted update, who knows if my browser has even been crashing at all. Just keeps getting disabled for your forced updates. I need them disabled, NOW. I choose when to update. NOT YOU.

When I go to view an already open tab it will sometimes randomly move it to the very end of my tabs all the way to the right. I don't want it to move tabs without my intervention. Clicking on a tab should keep it in place.

This has been an issue for about 2 months now. I'm not sure what's causing it or even if it's entirely a Firefox issue as I have noticed something similar happen in another program with tabs that I use often. It still seems like a Firefox issue in that moving a tab all the way to the end is a very specific task that can't normally be done accidentally.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening or has anyone figured it out?

This person has the same issue: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/stop-reordering-my-tabs/td-p/93219

Recently, every time I click anything, even to open my email messages, new junk tabs open in my browser and it automatically takes me there. It takes forever to do anything. I looked at my security and it seems fine as always. This has to stop soon or I need a new browser and I've loved this one for years. SOS

I updated Firefox this morning to 139.0.4 on my Mac and now the '+' sign to add a new tab no longer appears on the tab bar. I can still add new tabs with Command T however.

Any suggestions on how to restore the '+' sign?

Thanks Dan

Hi,

I need help resolving an issue related to browser navigation and the popstate event.

Here's the scenario:

• The user starts on page-1.html.
• They click a button, which navigates to page-2.html.
• When the user presses the browser back button (without clicking any button on the page), I want to trigger a JavaScript popstate event automatically.

Currently, I'm doing the following:

• When the user arrives at page-2.html from page-1.html, I show a popup.
• When the user closes the popup, I manually push a state using history.pushState() to create a backward URL entry.

However, my client’s requirement is to trigger the popstate event without requiring any user interaction on page-2.html, i.e., as soon as the user presses the back button.

Is there a way to programmatically achieve this behavior (ensuring the popstate event is fired) without requiring the user to click anything on page-2.html?

Any guidance or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Code 500 UPSSS! An error occurred while loading the page. Make sure you are connected to the internet and try again.

How to fix this .

I have sound in Windows, but YouTube is dead quit. I have tried all that is suggested in Firefox help and some YouTube sites. Nothing worked. I have tried off the computer and restarted, but no change. My system is Windows 11, sound works, and the latest Firefox update installed. Question is this a YouTube tacit to stop NoScript and uBlock?

In the last month or so I'm having an issue where using autofill multiple times on a web form causes some of the autofilled inputs to disappear.

For example, if I autofill my contact info first, when I go to autofill my payment information, my contact info disappears. If I try to re-autofill my contact info, then my payment info disappears.

The lost autofill inputs still leave behind yellow boxes as if still containing the autofill text, but the boxes are empty and submitting forms like this will fail, so I'm certain the autofilled information is being removed and not simply going invisible or something.

OK, for me, this has always been the 'go to' browser of choice.... until recently...!! I've tried a whole heap of browsers, some open-source derivatives, some based on gecko, you name it, I've tried it.... for Mac and for Windows, although I won't put some of those tripe PC ones on my beloved Mac, and there in lies the problem...!! My Mac Pro is a 17yr old quad which is still quick by today's standard and I run El Capitan as it won't upgrade anymore, running Firefox v78... I don't it to be running the most up to date b'cos I'm not doing anything special to warrant getting t'morrow's browser today.... my problem is.... some of the extension which made this browser run faster have been stopped due to verification issues...!! How did these extensions make to the Add-ons if they were never verified in the first place as they were in use for a while before use was halted...!! Now, I get stupid pop-ups randomly, along with salacious material asking my to join suggestive websites and worse, some of which bounce to 'other' websites when you try to delete them...!! Do you not have ways of verifying these extension before they hit the Add-ons page...?
