Hi, on my macbookpro. Searches take minutes to load, websites take minutes to load. Youtube takes minutes to loand, but once loaded and I start a video, it runs for a couple of minutes then video suddenly stops and I have to wait for couple of minutes for the video to continue again and it keeps repeating, all my other web browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc..) works perfectly. It also uses sFirefox is bascially unusable! I am running the latest version.

I also saw a NoScript XSS Warning:

Can't access local network web servers after update to 147.0.1/147.0.2, but they are still available using Safari or Chrome??? (FYI, running Tahoe 26.2)

My local network is 10.10.10.x and I can't log into my NAS, web server or another computer on the local network... Internet access is fine. Happens on Wi-Fi or Ethernet. … (read more)

My local network is 10.10.10.x and I can't log into my NAS, web server or another computer on the local network... Internet access is fine. Happens on Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

If I access the same web address using Safari or Chrome it works just fine and it used to work before the software update to the 147 build.

So what switch/setting got kicked over during the upgrade that I have to turn off?

These kind of issues really make me mad at the Firefox Dev team... and I'm a very long time user.

I on MacOS and I'm facing this issue last half of the year. As usual mac book user, I have many WIP items on my laptop, so I don't reload my laptop every day, even months it can leave without reloading.

So, after a workday I just closing it and come back tomorrow. When I back to the work and want to open new tab: Jira, Gmail, LinkedIn any other tabs - FireFox just keeping in loading state. In comparison, the Google Chrome that opened as well all the time but with fewer tabs, open the same links in seconds.

I though the FireFox is not latest version, and updating or re-starting of it, sometimes helped me to fix the issue. But now it seems stopped work either.

So, after a 5 years on FireFox I'm seriously started about my migration back to Google Chrome. I'm not sure that you can help me in this forum, but at least I would like to hear you option. Maybe anyone else have seen such behavior also and FireFox could find the issue

I teach an online Adobe Illustrator Course. Students upload (.ai) Adobe Illustrator files. Not .svg or .pdf. But Firefox changes the (.ai) extension to (.pdf) upon downloading. This is HIGHLY irritating. Firefox, in prior versions, did not do this. In Firefox settings for Applications, there isn't a choice for .ai (Adobe Illustrator) files. I 'assume' that when AI (artificial intelligence) became available is when Firefox began automatically changing (.ai) files to (.pdf). PLEASE SOLVE this as I have to manually change the (.pdf) extension BACK to (.ai) HUNDREDS of times a day.
