Firefox Community Forum

Firefox has been my default browser for many years on my debian linux desktop.

I upgraded from version 129.0.2-1 to version 130.0-1 in the normal manner and the new firefox does not connect to remote sites. It does connect to local pages on my PC and, surprisingly, also to www.google.com from where I can access news, for example.

The chrome browser on the same PC has no problems accessing sites, nor does the version 129.0.2 firefox. Only the version 130.0 firefox has a problem.

This happened using my current profile, using --safe-mode and using --no-profile mode on the version 130.0 firefox. I was able to see some packets from a remote site (www.akamai.com) come back on wireshark but the page did not display on the browser. This also happens for sites that appear on the default new tab page, like wikipedia and youtube.

Any ideas on this? thank!!

When I type in Word 365 (Mozilla Firefox, 129.0.2 (64-bit)- snap for Ubuntu 24.04), using East European characters (e.g. š, č, ž), the text after the first such written character (see the first uploaded image) disappears after going to new line (pressing Enter or moving mouse to another line) (see the second uploaded image). It worked before on the Ubuntu 22.04 with manually installed firefox (not from snap) and is also working in Chrome.

I am unable to find the solution. I already installed additional fonts, I also created links to the installed fonts in $USER/snap/current/.local/share but nothing helps.

Has anyone encountered similar problem (and found a solution)?

Hi, after upgrade of ubuntu to 24.04 i got into problems with using Firefox. I it running on x11 with proprietary nvidia driver, no matter of source package (snap or deb from the Firefox repository) and no matter of safe mode the Firefox gets frozen when clicking into any dropdown control in side page, the same happens when trying to open bookmark folder in the bookmarks panel or even the dialog that opens from the star icon in address folder that should add page into the bookmarks. When running on command line, in case of the snap version there are just some warnings of some missing css file, in case of the deb version it does not output anything suspicious. I was even trying to change the UI theme (qt) as well as GTK theme in case it makes any difference, but it did not... Thanks for any help.

How can I prevent the password manager popup from showing up? I don't like how Firefox just shows up all saved logins automatically every reload of `https://discord.com/channels/@me`.

I am using FF 129.0 64 bit on Linux Mint. AFAIK all is up to the latest version.

When I log into my website admin on wordpress, my site gets redirected for a security check on the server (lightspeed or PC Guard). Once this is complete, the login continues.

Unfortunately for the last 6 weeks, my website redirects with a message, "Verifying that you are not a robot" and it hangs there permanently.

I have tried to get my server to disconnest Lightspeed and PC Guard (but then have NO security protection). Nothing seemed to work, and access was sproradic, but seemed best when FF was completely cleaned, cache, cookies, etc. However, even this did not guarantee a login.

Then I found that all worked perfectly using Chrome. Further, having logged in using Chrome, the FF version would now be unlocked and work perfectly.

So it seems as though FF is not clearing a status/flag/file somewhere and that Chrome clears this, leaving FF working again - for another 24 hours. Then the whole cycle starts again.

Any ideas?

I'm using Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (snap version, so it's updated regularly) and I've been having this issue for months. I use Network pane heavily as aid to develop the backend portion of a web site with a JSON based API. Now and then I need to repeat an HTTP request, so I use the "Resend" option, and everything's fine except I'm unable to see the server response. "Size" column shows "0 B" and "Response" tab is empty. I'm positively sure the server cannot distinguish whether it's a brand new or resent request and does not send empty responses. It's something specific to XHR requests, regular requests are not affected. Troubleshoot Mode doesn't make any difference.

Is this a known issue or something that only happens to me?

Greetings,

Following a recent Ubuntu update from 20.04 to 22.04, Firefox 129.0.2 has started spamming my syslog with messages like:

[Parent 39719, IPC I/O Parent] WARNING: process 262891 is a zombie: file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_posix.cc:245

These seem harmless, but I'd like to identify a way to suppress the warnings, because they're mucking up my syslog. Is there a setting in about:config that would do that? I see lots of log-related settings there set to Warn, but have no idea which one could silence the warnings I'm seeing. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated!

I need to uninsntall my present version of firefox and reinstall an upgraded version . i have a desktop frontier has ended their e-mail and therefore I no longer have the e-mail that everyone knows me by I have no e-mail except on my phone. My reachaable E-Mail is marcumgrover@gmail.com

I have used firefox for quiet many years now, but recently after the update, it i sucking in a lot of resources, I am not sure what the problem is but the cpu engagement of all the 4 cores are getting to 50 percent and longer uses are making it go as high as 95 percent. So, I have already done the following,

• Previously I thought it to be snap issue, so I changed to deb but that also didn't changed much.
• Then I thought it to be some other issue and tried to fix few log issues of ubuntu which I think were unrelated to the problem.
• The system is running so hot that one can't put his hand on it for long.
• Ultimately I switched to fedora, and everything came to normal. The firefox then was of version 123 or 125(or 126, but it was 2-3 versions back, you may find it with what version fedora ships with but I remember it to be significantly lesser than 129).
• I use 3-4 windows at a time with 6-10 tabs open(but mostly pdfs). The firefox was working all fine with no temperature and resource issues, then I remembered to do update, and soon as firefox is upgraded to 129. It has started to cause the same issue, it is damaging the hardware, the hissing sound and temperature increase have come back.

The outcome is that I have came to know that there is some problem in either the upgrade process or the new version. THIS IS HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING. Please provided instructions on how to fix it, or should I open a issue in bugzilla, I can not understand what is the problem? please ask for an other information if required.
