Firefox Community Forum

I don't know why Firefox made my homepage so messy, with so many junk suggestions. It used to be a lot of thoughtful / interesting stuff about science / nature / health / politics / philosophy think-pieces and now it is all just "(unkown celebrity name) clashes with (council) over (something I don't care about)" or "(american president) shocks defense community with late night Truth Social Screed (BROUGHT TO YOU BY TABLOID PAYWALL)." Everything is suddenly UK only, and it is all from the Metro, the Mirror, the Independent or Sky News. I never, ever read any of that. I am sometimes in the UK, but not now. And my VPN is never set there.

I don't want to block whole themes - Health? I might be interested in some of that, but I don't need ten stories from the UK health sector gumming up my feed every day. Food? I used to occasionally get good recipes on the home page, but now it's a whole section of choco-banoffie protein smoothies and fried chicken, which I would never, ever click on or prepare. Money? All of these things have potentially interesting options, so I don't want to block them, but I'm definitely not interested in getting loads more of any of it.

Is there any way to go back to region neutral 'this is interesting' stuff? I find the current home page to be really unpleasant.

Privacy Policy from TD Bank (https://easyweb.td.com) appears at the bottom of every page change, no matter if "Accept All" has be selected. Moving from one account to another causes this pop up to appear. This does not happen with Chrome. With Chrome, one "accept all" has been chosen, the pop up no longer appears

If I turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection the problem seems to stop.

Hello! Is it possible to recover older open tabs from a broken device that had sync activated? For a while they appeared in the hamburger menu in the top right, but now they suddenly disappeared, and under the "connected devices" I cannot click the device or anything. It went broken 2-3 months ago. Best wishes!

Hello brothers and sisters, i am need help! I'm experiencing performance issues when surfing the 9GAG website. The amount of RAM consumed by this page is growing exponentially. It's gotten to the point where this tab can consume up to 5GB of memory, and that's not the limit. This issue hasn't happened before. I can't figure out what's causing it.

What I did to fix the problem: I reinstalled the browser. I reinstalled add-ons. I reset my old profile, saving only bookmarks and passwords. I reinstalled the operating system. None of this helped. However, my friends don't have this problem with this site. Please help.

Prior to the latest release I could easily log into the site https://fun.chicagotribune.com/game/tca-jumble-daily. I can login in but once at the player page I must enter command shift R to reload the page afresh. The response is very slow relative to the previous edition of Firefox. There are other examples I could site with similarly odd behavious. Just today I tried to make a reservation with resy. I got a total runaround to my entries. I eventually gave up and used Safari and everthing proceeded as expected and I made my reservation.

성인사이트가 크롬과 엣지에서는 정상적으로 열리는데 파이어폭스에선 보안 연결 실패라고 뜹니다. 원래 파이어폭스에선 성인사이트를 차단하고 있는 건가요? 아니면 차단을 해제할 수 있는 방법이 있는 건지요 Adult sites open normally on Chrome and Edge, but on Firefox it says security connection failure. Is Firefox originally blocking adult sites? Or is there a way to unblock it

When I click on a link in outlook recently, I have been getting an seperate firefox pop up but it has none of my passwords. How do i set up to have all the info as the regular firefox browser I use.

I've noticed for awhile that when exiting Firefox (currently 150.0.3) open tabs no longer close. When I re-enter Firefox (new start) I no longer get my home page. I've tried all key combination of exiting as well as the X. I searched this community and WWWeb and found nothing usefull.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Rodney

Hi - I love the themes available in Firefox. However, some themes I use change my Bookmarks section to "dark". I assume that is by design. However, is there any setting in themes that will enable the Bookmarks section to stay on a light setting? If not, may I please submit this as feedback for a future suggestion? Also, the themes affect the look of part of the new sidebar. I would also like to submit as feedback this issue. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble accessing my local network devices (a 3D printer and Raspberry Pi) using short hostnames like "http://impressora3d" or "http://impressora3d/". Firefox keeps blocking the connection with the "Looks like there’s a problem with this site" error page.

I've captured a network log using 'about:networking' and I can see that: 1. DNS resolution works perfectly and points to my local IP:

  "CompleteLookup: impressora3d has 192.168.1.10"

2. Firefox is upgrading the request to HTTPS (port 443) automatically:

  "nsSocketTransport::ResolveHost [...] impressora3d:443" -> "pushing io layer [0:ssl]"

3. The device rejects it because it only listens on HTTP (port 80):

  "Bad Socket 804b000d" (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

What I have already tried: - Disabled "HTTPS-Only Mode" entirely in settings. - Checked "Secure DNS" (DoH) settings (set to Increased Protection and added exceptions). - Cleared history and used "Forget about this site" on the hostname. - Typed "http://" explicitly.

Firefox still refuses to connect via plain HTTP (port 80). Is there any hidden 'about:config' preference or HSTS cache forcing this behavior for local unformatted domains?

Thank you!

From the costco login page when I enter my account and password yhe screen dims for a moment but nothing happens. When use the same page from Chrome it works fine.

Hi, I am using Firefox version 150.0.3 (64 bit). It says it is up to date and I'm on Windows 11and it is fully updated. I use the Colorado Peak website but can not upload documents to them or read my mail from them. I have to go to another browser to do that.

I have used Firefox as my default browser for over 20 years I don't want to give it up or use another browser even to do just a few things once in a while. Peak tech support says they have communicated with Firefox but gotten no response. Help!!

Hello

I use a banking website to access my bills electronically. When the bill is selected, a PDF copy is supposed to auto download. For sometime now I have been getting an error 'HTTP 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL'. When I follow the same process in Safari the bill downloads without an issue. This issue has been occurring for quite some time (maybe at least 24 months).

Can someone please advise whether the source site, or Firefox, is causing the problem, and what needs to be done to fix it?

I am using the latest version of Firefox with Venture 13.7.8 on a Mac Mini 2018.

Thanks
