Firefox Community Forum

Yesterday, Facebook started to take longer and longer to load a page. Whenever I tried to post something and it took forevahhhh for it to show up on the timeline. I had to reload and repost several times since yesterday. All other websites are loading up just fine, but Facebook has taken as long as 30 seconds, sometimes even more before it refreshes a page.

Then.. it got worse. All I could see was the Facebook logo in the middle of the screen and nothing else.

Then it got even worse. As of this morning, I can't even get any results when I google Facebook! I put Facebook into the search bar, click return -- and nothing happens, absolutely nothing.

I'm not seeing any problems with any other website. I have already restarted my modem. I have already cleared out the cache and the cookies. I have restarted my laptop three times. I even looked up Downdetector, but there aren't any problems with the website in general.

Those are all the solutions I've found when searching about this, but the problem is only becoming worse, with everything I try. If there's something I need to change in Facebook settings, I can't do that, because now Facebook is completely inaccessible.

This is only happening on my laptop. Mobile is fine.

After a recent update Firefox now often displays a Settings screen that appears over my open windows and tells me that I need to turn on Location Services.

This has never occurred before and Firefox has performed well for many years on both Windows 10 and 11. And no website or contact has ever complained to me about a lack of location information.

So is Location Services a necessity. And is it a benefit that I really should use?

I put my computer to sleep last night. Woke it up this morning and all of my bookmarks are gone. When I click on accounts, it says account disconnected. How can I get my account reconnected and get all of my bookmarks back because I do not remember all of the bookmarks I had.

I have questions about websites I visit that don't seem to work in Firefox, but when I visit the same sites in Microsoft Edge, the sites work fine. Previously (one site, 6 months ago, the second, in the last month), I had no issues with either site. It makes me wonder whether some protocol or requirement has changed that has caused my recent experience. Both sites are secure sites (banking and bill-paying related), and when I first experienced it, I didn't give it much thought since it happened while using the Windows 7 machine. I am now using a newer Windows 11 machine.

My most recent visit to the municipal site (water-bill payment and statement download) resulted in the new tab displaying

HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

Type Status Report

Message Please provide a ref.

Description The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing). Apache Tomcat/9.0.110

At the credit union site, I click a link that results in rotating arcs atop the webpage's background, and it neither times out nor displays the next screen (a link to a specific account). When I use the credit union's app on my smartphone, the next page displays as it should. (A message reply by the credit union showed a lack of understanding.)

Most of the Firefox settings are at its default settings, and the two sites are allowed to open pop-up tabs.

After 30+ years of using Firefox trouble-free, reverting to Edge is a step backward. (Every time I finish using Edge, I have to run my spyware program.)

Thanks Rapidman

Could you tell me which files from your browser I need to add to the exceptions for split tunneling in my VPN for it to work correctly? Adding only the .exe file doesn't help.

How do I get rid of new, but stupid vertical sidebar? I do NOT NEED OR WANT even MORE junk taking up the screen space. Is Mozilla part of Microsoft now? How do I get rid of that junk?

Ce matin,09/03, ORANGE a mis en place une nouvelle messagerie qui ne passe plus sur FIREFOX mais que j'ai retrouvée par un autre navigateur. Tous mes contacts avaient disparu ainsi que les messages reçus ou envoyés.

Since v.145, comments have been blocked on some forums for me. https://thetyee.ca is one I use regularly, and the comments are blocked. (This is a Coral Comment site.) The spinning wheel just spins (see image 2 below) and sometimes resolves as "blocked" (see image 1 below).

On rare occasions if I delete all cookies, restart the PC and the browser in a private window only, I can sometimes get comments to come up with a "login page" that successfully lets me login, and keeps the link open for a few pages for that session only, but when I open a new session, comments are blocked again. They just don't appear. when I am successful, it looks like image 3 below.

I never adjust settings, and only occasionally delete cookies, so I've looked into other help articles in the forum that have pointed out enhanced tracker protection might be a problem: I have whitelisted all the sites I use for ETP but only one or two now sometimes work properly (using disqus) while the others do not. Tyee support is unable to help - they say very few have made any complaints.

There are other sites that limit my access or functionality now because they say "You have an ad blocker installed". I don't have an adblocker installed. I've never installed an adblocker. But that's secondary. Perhaps if we get this issue solved (due to a setting?), that second issue will go away too. Or maybe not.

I see it's simply not possible to get rid of ETP. Do I have to get rid of Firefox?

The last two days my internet performed poorly, but it worked (in between crashes). Now it took me 12 computer restarts and hours of patience to get to this page and plead for any sort of internet. I can't visit any page with moving imagery or it will crash, it won't start any video if there would be sound on it, stating that I don't have permission or simply not doing anything at all. I can't even finish the news-program I was watching on public acces tv. Please fix this!!! I'm desperate! I need to watch instructions for school and see my work-roster and I can not acces any of those pages anymore.

I have always used FireFoxNow the email that I use to login to mozilla accounts. I cannot gain access the email I use too login.Lost my mobile phone and along with that my sim/number too gain access too my mail account!! See no matter what I do, It asks me to verify my gmail/outlook/yahoo etc

I would lobe to gain axx too my main email address but at the moment I cant get A replacement sim with the number I need too gain/verify because. Too get A Replacement ssim with the number I always used for years now.. they "the mobile provider" want the pin code that came with the sim pack that came years ago!?! Like I have looked every were for that sim card pack to get the original pin code too get a replacement. Shur it was years ago and that pack with the original pin code that of course I changed it too A code I would like. So now i am stuck between a rock and a hard place. No original sim, They wont accept that it was years old "Original pin on the sim pack" and I have changed the pin from the original pin, lost the original pin! So I just lets say for mozilla want too change my email too my new email because I cant login to my gmail, even do I know the password etc but google wants me too verify threw the phone I lost or the number I lost.

Can anyone advise me on how I can at the very least change the mail i use to login here too an new mail I had to make.

Kindest Regards, Steve.

Hello,

For few days, it's impossible to connect to FACEBOOK. I have the latest version of FIREFOX, but I have to use another web browser (EDGE) to connect to FACEBOOK. The problem is the same with my two computers with the latest WINDOWS.

Thank you for your help to solve my problem

When i start to use Firefox and browse internet, usage of ram memory slowly rise up to max, using 5-10 GB, i disabled AI, same problem, don't know if something with Youtube causing this, every open tab is consume too much of ram memory. I think it started yesterday or day before. Installed again Firefox, same problem, if i have more open tabs, quickly rise consumption or ram, i have 16GB. Now 4 tabs, FB and 3 Youtube, more than 5.6BG. In Task Manager shows Firefox (20), 20? only 4 tab open and ram rises.
