I just updated Firefox only because I got an email saying my version would no longer be supported. EVERY TIME I update something goes wrong. This time the SEARCH field on my address bar disappeared--I can't do searches. HOW DO I FIX THIS? ALways next to the address was a place for inputting searches--WHY would you disappear this? Also WHY is the pointer so large I can't read text underneath when I roll over icons?

On several web pages, when i try to log into the accounts i have on those websites or account creations, when i try to click "Continue" or "Log in" or what ever may be the case to actually finish the process, the button will not actuate. I have tried on Microsoft edge and it works with no notable issue.(It just is slow because its Edge. lol) I dont have an adblock going of or anything of the sort that appears to be blocking the operation. Please heeeeeeelp.

I inadvertently created a duplicate Other Bookmarks folder at the level of the Bookmarks Toolbar and I'm not able to remove it. In fact, I tried deleting all of the bookmarks under this duplicate to see if that would allow me to delete it, however, that removed all of my bookmarks, including from the original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder and I had to restore them from backup.original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder

Please let me know what I can do to eliminate the duplicated folder without affecting the entries in my original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder.

Thank you,

When I open a web page with a video in it, the video generally starts to look like the attached screenshot. It usually happens within 30 seconds, and then it will occasionally clear up for 10 seconds, but otherwise, it's just a shifting swirl of green.

Does not happen in other browsers.

This will happen and cause the page to stall, not load, which is especially bad on a page with a download link or if it's a search engine. The highlighted part of the attached image is an example of which part of the URL flashes incredibly fast - appearing and disappearing.

I just recently had an instance of the url bar typing the same word and deleting it over and over again at the end of the address. I was watching the word "drawers" appear as if I was typing it myself, letter by letter.

Refreshing doesn't help and will refresh the previous page because the faulty link will carry over to the next page if it's on a search engine for example.

I've noticed that when video media begins to play, it often suddenly slows down the entire browser's processing ability and cuts to strange visual glitches limited to just the video window, usually green and pink pixelated glitches. This doesn't happen on YouTube, nor does it happen when I use other browsers like Edge. I'm on Windows 11, using the latest Firefox version, with Strict privacy settings and a reliable and simple adblock. Had the same setup on a previous Windows 10 laptop and did not have these issues. It's getting frustrating and is impacting my experience with this browser across multiple websites. I refuse to switch back to sketchy, predatory browsers like Chrome and Edge, so I hope this can be fixed, either on my end or on Mozilla's. Thanks! (Attached a screenshot of the visual glitches.)

Hello!

I am reaching out regarding an issue I am having lately. Recently a great number of sites has been showing me an error regarding an embedded site and blocking me completely from it's content.

I've read on many forums and searched the brower console and it seems like firefox is having an issue with X-Frame-Options being set to "sameorigin". It gives me a lot of trouble and is blocking me out of a lot of media.

I love security measures Mozilla has implemented over the years but I do not feel comfortable when software I use won't let me toggle less important safety features On/Off or at least whitelist sites I know are safe.

Speaking bluntly, it's ridiculous that I have to try 10 different websites with the content I want to watch, just to find one that has a built-in player, instead of an embedded one. It also seems to be spotty with what it blocks and what it doesn't block as some sites with an embedded player work with no issues.

I couldn't find any way to turn it off that won't possibly affect other security measures, or won't require me to go into brower console every time I want to access media.

Please instruct me how to fix this issue and consider making changes regarding it.

Thank you in advance :)

Every time I launch a fresh copy of Firefox all my saved accounts ect are gone. Now I know they aren't gone because the profiles.json files is still there. What has happened is firefox has taken the cookies.sqlite and added .bak on the end.

I've reinstalled firefox, tripple checked my settings and clearing stored data on browser close. What am I missing to stop firefox from doing this?

i can't get firefox.com/pair to show on my desktop.

I have just reinstalled MS Word on both PC & phone, (as something has gone wrong with my somewhat elderly PC). My phone (Samsung) says to connect mobile device with my Mozilla account, then I need to open Firefox on the PC, visit Firefox.com/pair, and follow the instructions to connect the mobile device.

I can't find firefox.com/pair on the PC.

Firefox opens only to a blank page and does not function what so ever. I've tried several times refreshing it, however, nothing helps. Point of interest is Microsoft Edge won't open either and I am currently using Opera which is working fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the last couple weeks i've encountered an issue where video footage, but not the audio or the video progress itself, will freeze if I tab out of Firefox and into a game window.

Here's a video showing the issue

Like shown in the video, It only seems to affect Firefox and not other browsers, and it only happens when I switch to a game window, not other tabs. It should also be noted that although the video only shows YouTube footage, this issue affects every player I've tested it on.

I've tried this both with and without extensions enabled, as well as just about every video player related config in the about:config page, and with both hardware acceleration on and off, still with no luck resolving the problem.

If anyone has had a similar issue and managed to fix it, help doing so for myself would be much appreciated.

I’m getting “'Gah. Your tab just crashed’” basically every other website I open (including this one). I don’t notice anything in common with the websites I’m visiting and it’s happening in the troubleshooting/safe mode as well. I’m using the most recent version of Firefox and am running MacOS 12.6.

Problem: when I make new firefox window(launch .exe, drag a tab out, shift+left click link...), there is tiny gap between screen edge and new firefox window. (fullscreen works ok)

Expected behavior: no gap between screen border and new firefox window

Image 1: firefox window snapped to right. Image 2: new firefox window after minimize right-snapped window. Image 3: firefox window across left screen border. Image 4: new firefox window after minimize across-left-border window.

Tried: edit&delete xulstore.json, reset firefox, uninstall and reinstall firefox. still same issue

Hello, Thanks in advance for your help. I am having trouble logging into "trusted" web sites with Firefox and every update seems to add to my problem. By "trusted" web sites I mean sites like Charles Schwab, Spectrum and iCloud as well as my city's water department and my local hospital's portal. It doesn't matter whether I use "normal" Firefox or its privacy mode or safe mode-the problem persists. I am running Firefox version 134.0.2 but the problem goes back several months. I have Windows 10 and use Malwarebytes Browser Guard. The only other add on I use is Print Friendly & PDF. It doesn't matter whether these addons are running or not. The problem seems to involve either a loop, blank fields or very odd error messages. Some examples are below:

iCloud allows me to get to the point where it asks me to supply the 6 digit verification code. I enter the code and the site loads. Approximately 2 seconds later, before I can navigate to anything in iCloud, I am taken back to the log in screen to start over. The loops repeat as often as I want to try. Clearing cache and history does nothing. Since there is nothing abnormal (no error message or blank fields) I have not included a screen shot.

Spectrum allows me to enter my credentials waits a while and then gives me an odd error message about Feature Unavailable and suggests that I try logging in from home. I might add that all of these problems occur while I AM at home. Screen shot attached.

Charles Schwab allows me to get to the log in screen but the screen is unusable. There is a message that the session has timed out and I need to log in. The log in sections of the screen are blank which leads me to believe that the page is not loading all the way but that is a guess. Screen shot is attached.

I can log into all these pages with Edge (which I dislike using) with no problems at all.

I have Firefox set to automatically delete cookies and site data when closed. Privacy is set to Standard.

I would really appreciate any help that you can give me. Please note that the screen shots are BMP files that I had to rename to GIF files to get them to upload.

Thanks again,

Charley

For a few months, and I've seen this happen randomly over the last 5-10 years - pressing enter doesn't work, and sometimes dragging a new link into the empty tab space next to the tabs creates a new tab with the URL in the URL box, but not 'opened'

Does firefox have some issue with loading a web page?

I use ublock origin on default settings, and violent-monkey and stylish for scripting.. but would that disable searching google from a new tab?
