Firefox Community Forum

I just noticed this as of a few minutes ago, & I'm not sure why it's there. I saw it as I was doing some research, & I didn't get kicked off line, or anything like that. I saved my links, & shut down Firefox, & then restarted it, with no problem. And I had no problem getting to this forum. Over the several years of using Firefox, I've never seen this before.

When I clicked on the warning icon, it took me to Mozilla Accounts, & then wanted me to download a recovery key???

The page disappeared, & then wanted me to sign back in, & then it refused my password three times! It reappeared, & then wanted me to "Synch", my phone, & PC, which I'm not going to do.

So,... What was/is this latest issue with Firefox about?

Hello.

For the past few months, I've been experiencing severe issues with performance that I noted appear only on YouTube. I have not noticed this on any other website. The site is unresponsive, takes a long time to load, key presses (pause, skip 10s, etc.) are registered with a massive delay. It is generally very unpleasant to use.

I have tried disabling all extensions, clearing data, I even reinstalled the entire operating system once for a different reason and the issue still persisted. I launched YouTube on different browsers (Chrome) with no performance issues at all.

I lived with this problem for a long time now, but recently it's becoming unbearable. I prefer Firefox to Chromium-based browsers, but as YouTube is a site I visit very frequently, I will unfortunately consider switching to another browser.

I have not found any useful resources regarding this issue on the Internet, it seems like it's not a common problem.

Any help is appreciated.

I lost all my tagged articles. Even though my app shows the tags did I create, on browser there's only one tag. And there's no article listed under the tag I am pretty sure that I list them as in tags.

In the past I could attach a computer picture into Hotmail and then drag it into the text body and scale it ie. a Christmas card. Now it will not allow the attached picture to be dragged into the Hotmail text. Why?

Dear Mozilla Community/Support Team,

I am reaching out to report an issue with my <a href="https://chipotlmenu.com">Wesbite</a>, which is not functioning properly when accessed through Firefox.

The website operates flawlessly on other browsers such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. However, on Firefox, I have noticed slow loading times, broken images and layout inconsistencies

This issue negatively impacts the user experience for visitors accessing the site through Firefox, which is a critical concern for me. I kindly request your guidance on diagnosing and resolving the problem. Please let me know if you need additional details or technical information to help investigate further.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I appreciate the dedication of the Mozilla team in supporting website compatibility and look forward to your response.

Best regards, Lily Floori Lilyfloori@gmail.com Owner, Chipotlmenu.com

This issue appeared fairly recently. When I open a downloaded picture from Firefox's downloads menu, it opens under Firefox window. So it's like the browser is in "always on top" mode when it happens. It's inconsistent and doesn't happen all the time, but I can't notice any pattern. Tested it in another browser and tried changing default image viewing software to make sure that the problem is with Firefox. It persists in troubleshooting mode as well.

hi. i used only Firefox from Mozilla. can i delete this folder safetly? ~/library/application support/mozilla/native messaging host/com.apple.passwordmanager.json

Hi, I have a brand new macbook air and wanted to install my preferred browser, Firefox, but after installation Firefox will not launch. I’ve tried to install version 133.0.3 and when I try to launch it, Firefox always freezes and show 'Firefox (not responding)'. I have restarted my mac, reinstalled Sequoia OS, uninstalled/redownloaded/reinstalled, and I cannot get Firefox to launch, ever. Safari (built in) and DuckDuckGo (new install) browser both work.

Please let me know what I can try to do to get Firefox working.

This issue is about two executables in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox:

• firefox.exe, which starts Firefox, and
• private_browsing.exe, which starts Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

If you start firefox.exe while private_browsing.exe is running, it restores the last session. I have been experiencing this issue for about a year.

Steps to reproduce:

• Start firefox.exe.
• Open x.com instead of your home page, and xe.com on a second tab.
• Exit Firefox (Alt+F4).
• Start private_browsing.exe.
• Start firefox.exe.
• Actual result: Three tabs are opened: x.com, xe.com, and your home page.
• Expected result: only your home page is opened.

Can anybody confirm the bug? Will there be a fix for this?

IDK what topic this is! When I close tabs but later restart the browser or come out of "sleep" - they are repoened. I'm not talking about the ones I left open. I closed them and they don't stay that way. They insert themselves into their original positions as if I had told them to reopen, and accumulate. I want them gone please :O( This has been going on for years.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1284577 does not work on my new W11 laptop. I've asked before and received no answer, so maybe things will be different this time.

Are there any other instructions that might work?

i am trying to play a game on cool math games and the game keeps hanging. i also have issues on another site where the video player indefinitely loads. and yes i have cleared cookies and site data, disabled all extensions, started firefox in troubleshot mode, disabled hardware acceleration. but the only thing that fixes the issue is using another browser.

how to reproduce

1: go to this url: https://www.coolmathgames.com/0-jacksmith 2: load the game and start a save 3: skip or wait through the dialog (i did both) 4: when the dialog ends you should be stuck with a folded piece of paper on the side of the screen when the animation froze. loading the save will also cause a freeze

Every so often for the past few days this "unfinished" program window has appeared on my pc on top of a normal Firefox window (see attached png). Does this have something to do with Firefox? I think the same thing appears when I first open Firefox, then it gets "filled in" and appears as a normal Firefox window. I am running Firefox 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 build 19045.5247 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0.
