I keep getting annoying popups claiming to be from Mozilla Firefox. clicking on one takes me to a malicious website. Dismissing them only results in new ones opening. I am attaching a sample of a screen showing the popups on the right. I scanned for viruses and was told my computer is clean.

How can I stop this from happening?

Hi, Once last week I had Firefox crash, like quite literally the window I had open just closed abruptly. Tried doing the refresh using the setup wizard and it did not help. Then I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times. Each time it'll open up like new, and within 10 minutes the window closes randomly and then Firefox doesn't launch anymore on my laptop. No error message, just does not launch whether I try to from taskbar or Home or even run as administrator. Seemingly random I've been using Firefox for months and it just started doing this last week.

Sorry for lack of other info, thanks for any help you're able to give.

I'm absolutely dying for this feature, it is a lifesaver in Vivaldi and Opera and other browsers, the extension options simply don't work the same as they only work when the website has finished loading and in case I've clicked on the wrong link I have to wait for it to load to go back or lose my train of thought whenever I am using this browser after a while because I'm used to the Rocker Gestures to go back and forward. Please implement this feature into the base browser, thank you very much

Hello, I have just upgraded to windows 11. On firefox I used to be able to right mouse click on the firefox icon in the taskbar to select my saved saved (Pinned) websites. In the past with Windows 10 I right mouse clicked on the url of favorite websites then drag and drop on the firefox icon in the taskbar and that was it. On Windows 11 that no longer works. How do I pin my favorite websites to the firefox icon in the taskbar on Windows 11? I thank anyone for your help.

Hello:

I'm not certain if this question comes under Firefox or not:

How do you stop a specific computer software program-app pop-up notification (popping out from the lower right corner of your computer)?

As an example, I have a utility program, IOBIT Malware System Care that pops-up various notifications such as "update notice," "renew," "discount sale" or whatever notice or ads that is 'pushed'.

-I went to my Windows 11 list of installed app "notifications" and this program is not listed. -I tried contacting tech support but they haven't responded. -I went to Firefox 'Settings' -> Privacy & Security->Permissions and then I opened up 'Exceptions' to see if I can block something. It wants me to put in a specific website. The issue is not a website but coming within a software / app program.

So how and where do I stop a "pushed' notification? I assume it's coming in via my browser / Firefox?

Thank you in advance,

Steven

the website onodreamgallery.com shows up as Under Construction, yet on another browser it shows correctly. I do not know how to fix this; I am not versed in Internet language.

Hello Firefox Support,

I’m encountering a strange issue with Firefox. While playing YouTube videos at very low quality (144p) just to listen to music, my GPU usage spikes to 100%. This happens even when the video is not fullscreen and there’s minimal visual content.

System Info:

   Firefox Version: 140.0.2 (64-bit)

   Operating System: Windows 11 

   CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700F (no integrated GPU)

   GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE

   GPU Driver Version: AMD Adrenalin 25.6.1 

The issue goes away when I disable hardware acceleration in Firefox settings, but I’d prefer to leave it enabled for better performance elsewhere.

Is this a known issue with AMD GPUs or is there something else I can try to reduce GPU usage during playback?

Thank you for your help.

Firefox has just introduced wallpapers for browser home page. I cannot get it to work. It's either cropped too small or pixilated, is there a setting I need to adjust, or a particular image format? So that it looks ok.

A few months ago, my Firefox browser became corrupted and I had to delete and re-install it. My browser now works, and I don't have any issues downloading new documents, but every document I'd downloaded on my first browser that was labelled a Firefox PDF document is now corrupted. I can work around it on my own computer, but if I try to email the documents to someone else they just get the corrupted file. I've tried converting the PDFs into a different type of document and then reconverting them to PDFs, but the PDF version is still corrupted. Is there any way to fix this? Or is my only option converting everything to a different type of document?

When I try to sign in to Yahoo I am sent to a Google sign in. I tried that and only got gmail and not my yahoo mail. I can sign in fine when I use Firefox private browsing and Edge. Why is Google involved with Yahoo mail?
