I know, sounds stupid, but it is what it is. It happens rarely, only with Firefox on the secondary display from my laptop, via HDMI. It starts with some random few thin horizontal bars across the window itself, and soon, it turns off my display. It seems the bigger the window is, the more severe the issues. So full screen usually, it shuts it off and keeps it off. Not black screen, no signal style. I manage to get it out by Winkey+arrow. If i then put it back same issue. If i lower the width of it, it manages to stay coherent longer, but still resets the display with a quick black screen on page reload. The lower bounds on a 1920x1080 display resolution was 1515 pixels. At 1515 pixels, it works fine, once this is triggered, it's very repeatable on 60-70% of webpages. If i drag another window on top of Firefox, the monitor comes back up.

Before anyone asks: I have tried turning off hardware acceleration. I have tried putting firefox.exe to run on the integrated video card and on the dedicated 1060 Max Q videocard. I have cleared cache and etc.

This persists on a Windows session, across multiple Firefox restarts. A computer restart technically fixes it but i have no clue what triggers it. Laptop monitor works fine.

page loading stalls or glacially slow - is it Firefox or search engine or AddOns or IP... ?

Sending this using Safari because Firefox is totally messed up. Firefox 115.24.0esr (64-bit) OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra 2011 Mac Power Book (MPB) with 16 GB RAM. Verizon DSL line, download speed tests from 10-14 Gb/sec but Latency is always 400-900+ msec. No way to measure Jitter with speedtests that will run on my older system, or Bufferbloat now that DSLreports has gone dark.

I want a tool that will allow me to see all the attempts to connect, and packets/traffic, to see it its my old computer going bad, Firefox, the wireless or wired connection to the DSL modem/router, or the DLS modem/router itself, such as a problem with reaching the Domain Name Server (DNS) etc.

I can access the DSL modem/router in the browser, but there isn't much documentation. Its made by Actiontec but customized firmware for Verizon.

The problem persists whether I am using wifi or an Ethernet cable.

My wifes 2010 MBP computer with 8GB RAM using about 6.4GB, running High Sierra and Firefox 115.24.0 (esr) seems not to have the problem at all.

Firefox will show something in the lower left corner, "connecting to..." or "loading..." etc. It can stall with either status.

Search engines would be StartPage or DuckDuckgo. With DDgo, sometimes it just spins forever, but if I click on the URL bar, it drops down another line with the same URL and "--Visit" appended. Sometimes that will load, but seems random.

Some URLs / links open in a few seconds, some spin forever.

I first called Verizon Tech support on May22 about problems (see full exchange of repeated calls & new trouble tickets below). I think, IIRC, this happens to be shortly after I upgraded my Firefox version. They have admitted to PINGs not returning, packet loss, no excuse for the Latency.

I do have a lot of pages/tabs open; Activity Monitor says my memory use is about 14GB, but the Memory Pressure stays low in the green. I also run Thunderbird, TextEdit, maybe Adobe Reader and Excel. But even when I close everything else, the non-loading issue persists. When I shut down Firefox, the memory pressure can go into the red and take a very long time (so I always shut down all other apps first). A recent shutdown stalled & I ended up losing many open pages/tabs, but even the slimmed down load has the same problem.

I have shut off the AddOn NoScript, but the problem persists.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but speaking to different people, I hear different stories.

I use FireFox and have PiHole installed on a RasPi. REMOTE ACCESS.

There is a window - to call it - where I can enter any fixed IP addresses.

I can only open it a bit (height wise) but am being told it can open a lot more.

I've tried FireFox and Opera. Both don't allow it to open much more. (So really I don't think it is a Firefox problem)

Anyone have PiHole installed?

Settings/DHCP (expert level) Scroll down to Static DHCP configuration.

The window where you enter addresses.

How "big" can you make i

I just finished using my printer. When I came back to print something else, it wouldn't print. Got this error code.

The page isn’t redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never be completed.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I did what it said: checked the connections, etc. I even changed out the printer with another one. Same problem.

Drag and drop multiple emails from Thunderbird to Firefox

Hello, using Windows Version 22H2 (Build 19045.5965), Firefox 139.0.4, Thunderbird 139.0.2, I can drag multiple emails from Thunderbird but not drop them into Firefox (the stop symbol appears and does not let me finish the action). However, dragging and dropping single emails does work. Firefox does not understand the imap address but the drop is registered which is all that is relevant to me. Is this a bug/missing feature in Firefox or a problem with Thunderbird and Firefox on Windows? Or is there a way to do it by simply adjusting (preferrably very few) settings? Dragging and dropping multiple emails using Thunderbird and Firefox on Linux Mint works fine. Dragging and dropping multiple emails from the Windows Explorer to Firefox also works fine. In testing, the issue only arose using Thunderbird + Firefox, Chromium-based browsers also worked fine with Thunderbird. If this is the wrong forum to ask such a question because this should rather be in a bug tracker or something similar, please let me know. If this should be on the Thunderbird thread instead of Firefox, also let me know. Thank you for your help.
