Firefox Support Forum

I was wondering if anyone knew why I am having this issue. On occasion when I walk away from my computer with Firefox running (usually 20-30 minutes) I come back to find the browser itself has closed, including Private/Incognito tabs. Everything else on my computer has continued to function as per normal, nor has the computer itself seem to have restarted itself. It is only Firefox that this is happening with.

When I enter either of these internal addresses, it fails:

http://dfa shows: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at dfa.

http://rpi-m92a-ad82:3003/ Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at rpi-m92a-ad82.

Both issues are similar, but neither work as expected.

dfa is an alias for a longer name such as dfa.int.example.com. The local DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) will reply with the correct IP if asked for "dfa" but not "dfa." due to the dot forcing the Fully Qualified Domain Name to be "dfa." only. We wish to opt to leave off the rest of the url.

For the raspberry pi, it is a mDNS. So doing "rpi-m92a-ad82.local" works. But this used to work long ago, and ended 10 or 20 updates ago as best as I can remember.

How can I convince Firefox to query DNS, then query mDNS, and if both fail perform a search?

So slow I almost think MSFT AI has invented a thing that trips you up... After all, they're the fallback. Just saying.

I have MSFT 11 on a strong Nvidia gaming laptop. It's a fast machine. Once Firefox is open everything works fine and fast. It's just the opening.

Thank you, Liah

I saw an other article about the same possible but they had a problem with an extension but I dont have that extension but still have the same problem. Whenever i watch twitch or youtube and i alt tab or switch tabs my audio and video stops playing.

Win 10, FireFox ver 114 just got update on 6/6.

Been using FireFox for years w/o any problems until this latest update.

Ever since, "Twitter.com" and "Tweetdeck.Twitter.com" both have super magnified screens. All other ones are slightly magnified.

I have 5 columns in Tweetdeck that used to show up completely but only 4 show now--see attached. When I log out of Tweetdeck it takes me to a screen that says "Page isn't redirecting properly" and I can't type the URL and get back to a normal screen--instead it takes me back to my already magnified and logged in screen.

How in the heck can I correct this???? It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hello, I'd like some help with a performance issue. Basically, when using the theme "Pixel-Punk" while playing a video, ram usage by the GPU slowly increases. It increases until it reaches 8GB, where Firefox will soft crash, displaying a white screen. Firefox will be reloaded, with the animated banner portion in Firefox usually disabled or flickering on and off. The GPU item in the process manager also disappears and ram usage no longer increases. The slow nature of the problem makes it hard to diagnose but I'm fairly certain it's due to this theme. The problem doesn't appear with it off, or even on, until I start watching a YouTube video, where ram usage will slowly increase. If I disable the theme ram usage stops increasing but doesn't decrease to it's previous state. I've also tried refreshing Firefox but that didn't help. Also, I don't have an option for hardware acceleration so I can't troubleshoot that option. I've asked the Firefox subreddit and I was guided to the profiler, but that's a little over my head. Is there a way to fix this? I quite like this theme, and I haven't seen any complaints in the reviews. There are also lots of variables, like the extensions I have, my hardware configuration and such. my hardware for info: laptop - Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 (2022) CPU- 12700H RAM- 16GB GPU- 3070ti

Dear Team,

I'm using version 114.0 (64 bits) with Eset Internet Security 16.1.14.0 installed on a Windows 10 machine 22H2 Build 19045.2965. I have refreshed Firefox from previous version yesterday (06/06/2023) (it asked me to restart the browser). Since then I cannot load any page (not even the about:crashes or settings or passwords, or any website). All pages keep on crashing, the reports are not generated nor sent to support. I have tried to locate the crash reports under APPDATA, but none being generated. I also tried to disable my anti-virus software thinking it may cause an issue, but still no luck. The same happens in Safe mode as well. Tried clean install as well, but again the same thing happens.

Kindly look into it!

Best regards,

Sandor

Hello, Sometimes i get random "lag" this lag then continues for some time and maybe stops, i cant even play a Youtube video even that is lagging or scrolling a webpage. I tried a few things but i don't know what i should try next.

I've let the profiler run while the lag happend: https://share.firefox.dev/3oP8KOU I'm using Nvidia on Gome via xorg if that helps.

Thanks.

like the title says, i installed the latest Firefox update and my graphics driver started crashing every few minutes. tried updating my graphics card driver (Nvidia RTX3070) and tried to set the browser to software rendering, but nothing helps, it keeps going black and restart every few minutes.

There really should be a option to revert from a update, i had this a lot with Firefox, troubles after updates. And with no way to fix it, so i have to use another browser until it is fixed..kinda troublesome.

Hello team, hope you're doing well. I purchased a new laptop recently(HP Omen 16 with RTX 3070Ti). I installed Kali OS via VMware, which runs on my host machine(Windows 11).

Everything seems to be working fine in Kali, except when I try to play any video via Firefox Browser, it lags a lot and is very choppy. At first, I thought it was the issue with Kali hence, I reinstalled Kali and tried again. The issue still persists. I then did a clean Windows 11 install and tried everything again right after Win11 was set up, but I still couldn't find a solution. Tried all the methods which I could find online, but still, nothing worked.

I tried again, but this time with Windows 10 Pro on VMware. The issue was resolved and everything worked perfectly fine when videos were played on Microsoft Edge.

I've installed the Firefox browser on my host machine, and everything runs smoothly on my host machine(Windows 11), but the issue occurs only when videos are being played in the Firefox browser via Kali on Vmware/VirtualBox. I had asked many known people, but none of them have ever faced this issue with Firefox to date. Neither did I with my previous laptops. This is the first time something like this has occurred.

Issue: Any Video, from any site, when being played in Firefox Browser via Kali OS in Vmware/VirtualBox lags a lot and it is super slow(even when the video speed is set to normal). The audio that comes out from each video is like a robotic voice and it is super slow and laggy.

Kindly help and I really hope that we can resolve this issue!!!

I run Windows 11 on my Laptop. Every few days, Firefox slows down so much that it becomes essentially unusable. If I uninstall and then reinstall, it works fine for a few days, and then it repeats its slow performance. I like Firefox, but if this continues, I will have to switch browswers.

Please help.

When editing - composing a new email in Yahoo mail, the ENTER key is not making a NEW LINE. Resulting, I cannot write multi-line emails. But, when switching to Google Chrome, I have no issues, and ENTER key is working as it should.

Scrambled Fonts: I see that many people have this issue. I am unable to resolve this. Starting in safe mode fixes the issue temporarily, but I am tired of this. As Firefox is the default browser throughout all my Apple Macs in my studio, I need to resolve this bug. I have also checked Safari and Chrome to verify this is a Firefox issue. The other browsers do not scramble fonts, and I have found no helpful topic article that can fix this.

Before I jump to Chrome as my default browser, I thought I would contact support to see if this can be salvaged.

From the last week Firefox started to give me the error "Secure Connection Failed" / SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE, preventing me to access some intranet sites. The first time I tried the "Refresh Firefox" procedure found at the beginning of the dis-installation function (started through the standard "Add or remove programs" Windows 11 interface). Now this error re-appears only for one of the internal sites from time to time. If I close all the browser windows and re-open Firefox, the error changes to "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" / MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT (which is an error I'm expecting since the intranet site is using an intenal Certification Authority that I've not yet put among the trusted ones) and with this message I can now proceed to the site by selecting "Advanced..." and "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Which is the reason for SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE error? I cannot find a mention for it inside https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secure-mean ... Is there a way to debug it? Or to avoid re-occurring and the need to restart Firefox?

Firefox version is "113.0.2 (64-bit)" on Windows 11 (10.0.22621.1702).

Hi, since today I have those wird glitches on YouTube videos (attached image). I've tried restarting Firefox, clearing browser cache and cookies, disabling all browser extensions and nothing helped. On other browsers videos works fine so it's not problem with YouTube
