Firefox Support Forum

I'm at my wits' end. There are a few websites that just don't open for some reason. Either they don't load at all and I get a blank page or there's a problem with the way they load. I've done some troubleshooting. Figured it might be an add-on, safe mode didn't fix it. Tried a 'refresh'. Didn't fix it. Figured it might be corrupt cache after the first visit, but deleting cache didn't fix it.

Finally tried reinstalling Firefox and it did... but not for long. After the reinstall, the websites were accessible again no problem. But then the next time I closed Firefox and restarted it or shut down my computer, the problem was back. This is 100% consistent. No exceptions. Always reproduces the issue.

To give examples of websites that for some reason stop working: A couple of websites for a game I play (trackmania.exchange and trackmania.io) My work Outlook inbox and more generally the whole Office 365 suite online. The Twitter feed. For some reason the UI loads but the feed just says "Something went wrong. Try reloading". I'm sure there are others I haven't found yet, but for some reason I have no problem accessing YouTube, Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

I have no clue how to troubleshoot this any further. Something goes wrong after closing Firefox after reinstalling it. I can't keep reinstalling it every time I turn my computer on. I also don't want to have to use hibernate constantly to keep the first instance open.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I want to install the latest Firefox. This "Michael... password ________" ... "DESKTOP-KSPITTM\Michael" is getting in the way. Who is Michael? What is Expedia? Past installs did not put such obstacles in the way.

Hello everyone

I wonder whether someone could assist me, please

Can FirefoxTranslations be used offline?

Whenever I try to use FirefoxTranslations offline, I get errors like:

"We found an error loading the translation engine"

or, sometimes,

"We could not find the translation engine to download" (even though the relevant language's translation-engine has already been downloaded.

I was under the impression that we could use FirefoxTranslations also offline, but it wouldn't be the first time I happen to be wrong........

In advance, thank you very much for your kind help

I will get a notification of a reply to a message or comment I posted and when I go there, the comment is either blank or it comes up for 1 second, then disappears. Also, sometimes when I click on a notification, it says "Your request cannot be completed..." or something similar.

What I've done: Turned off new add-ons, because it worked previously with my core add-ons. No add-ons have updated in the past two days. Cleared cache Updated FF Closed and restarted FF

Everything on FB works perfectly on Chrome. Since I also have a lot of trouble with forms and captchas on FF, I have to use Chrome to visit any site where I am going to have to fill out a form or use a captcha. That is, IF the site even loads, and I don't get a "this site can't be found" from FF.

Firefox hangs up when I go to access my monthly statements on Wealthscape - the site my IRA is on. This is the only website this happens with. When I emailed them about this they said I should use Chrome or Edge. This seems illogical to me, since I can download tax documents and all other info from this same site.

After the most recent FireFox upgrade my personal computer settings were implemented on my work computer. I have removed the sync option but how to I get the old settings?

Firefox 112 Mint Linux

The web site for my VOIP company lets me set phone numbers as "contacts" via a web form.

I started getting an error message along the lines of "Error Adding Contacts".

I restarted Firefox in --safe-mode, the site worked.

I restarted Firefox in normal mode. I then turned off each extension, one by one, refreshing the form. I ended up turning them all off and the contact form stayed broken.

What else does --safe-mode turn off besides the extensions?

Thanks.

I am using Firefox version 112.02 with Windows 10 and am being told by some websites that my browser is out-of-date and that I cannot continue. Then today I was purchasing tickets for a show and the checkout was blocked by another message which said "Firefox Can’t Open This Page. To protect your security, **********.co.uk will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Please advise how these measures can be removed or disabled as they are a perfect nuisance.

Using Firefox 112.0 on a Win 10 64bit HP Omen running an Nvidia GTX 1070 and 32GB ram onboard. When I go to watch tv in my office through https://watch.spectrum.net/livetv, the resolution will randomly just drop out to an unwatchable blurred mess. It may do it right off the bat when I open the link, or it may drop out minutes, or even hours into it. Bandwidth is not an issue, as I'm running WIFI 6 on the 5Ghz channel pulling an average Speedtest result of 220Mbps, with a ping of 12ms. Upload is an asymmetric ~12Mbps, but that's a moot point, I feel. There are no issues with YT, or watching Twitch. Running Firefox 112, Edge, Brave, and Chrome side by side to compare picture quality, surprisingly Firefox presents the clearest, sharpest video when it is rendering properly, which makes this a bit more frustrating. This loss of quality occurs to a lesser degree and frequency in Edge and Chrome, but I've yet to see it in Brave. So that leads me to think it might be a GPU setting. I've tried increasing several of the 'about:config' media.cache, browser.cache settings, disabled the browser.cache.disk.size.smart_enable, to no avail. I factory reset the Tp-Link Ac-1900, enabled/disabled all ALG protocols, switched between 20/40/80Mghz, adjusted RTS threshold everywhere between 500 to 2346. Enabled/disabled IGMP snooping. I also toggled/adjusted several of the MFAA, FXAA, anisotropic, shader cache size, etc within the Nvidia control panel. I feel I have a gremlin under the hood. Thank you for any suggestions or ideas! I love troubleshooting, but I'm gonna have to call in reinforcements on this one!

After restarting my pc, signed in on another windows account, which does not have Firefox installed. Then, signed in to my account, opened Firefox (Developer Edition 112.0b9 (64-bit)), however, all of the tabs, pinned tabs and history were gone. Can't restore from the menu, can't restore from the Profile folder, because files in it were overwritten when I signed in to my account (according to time modified). Anybody been in the same situation? Any advice? Thx

when I try to compose mail in yahoo accessed through my Firefox Mozilla browser , email addresses do not autopopulate like they used to. Also, I am having an issue writing emails. When I hit the return button within the body of emails, the lines do not drop down. Does anyone know how to fix these issues?
