Firefox Community Forum

I am using Firefox as my default browser and today I find out that, as I was using Google ads to set up a campaign, and trying to see previews of my ads, Firefox was strongly lagging or sometimes I had to force it to close. Afterwards I used safari and everything was ok. It is useful to mention that I had dis-activated the ad blocker on Firefox. I use 136.0.2 edition and Mac 15.3.2.

I recently purchased an IMAC 2024 M4 running Sequoia OS computer and migrated my files from my old IMAC. I have been using Firefox for over 15 years without at problem. Now I cannot open often visited sites like my bank, American Riviera Bank, Craigslist and others. I just get a blank white screen when attempting to access the website. The same ones are fine on Chrome. What has happened here and how do I correct this - Its really making me crazy. Thank you, Richard Houser

Used to be able to access my Xfinity account on FireFox. Now, when I try to log in (after I type in User Name and Password and hit "Enter",) I get a blank screen except for the words: "a rendering error occurred: ." in the upper lefthand corner of the screen.

I am using a MacBook Air running Monterey 12.7.6.

I can't get open tabs to sync from my other computer. Bookmarks synced and other info but I don't see anything about tabs from other devices. I've synced both ends, both are logged in and I've selected open tabs in both. Nothing,

I was tracing some network activity for an unrelated issue and noticed that when FF starts up it immediately makes multiple TCP connections to livejasmin.com. I have this site blocked by the Windows Firewall and have the host file direct it to 127.0.0.1 so nothing is actually going in or out, but why is FF doing this and how can I fix whatever was done to enable this happening?

I have cleared all cookies and cache, and disabled all addons, and even started in safe mode, but regardless of what I do the very 1st connections that FF makes are always to livejasmin.com, which is obviously not a legit place for FF to be doing any of its routine updates or optimization tasks. My home page is https://google.com and the livejasmin.com connections appear before the 1st attempt to connect to google so this is clearly something malicious that found a way to get into FF early in the startup process.

I have also run 2 different scans tools on the entire computer and both found nothing. I have reviewed all the running processes and do not see anything suspicious either. I do not see this issue with Chrome or Edge, just FF which is my primary browser. All browsers are updated to the latest version as well as the WIN10 OS.

I have also removed my profile and started FF up without the profile, and I noticed the livejasmin.com connections again while the FF "your profile cannot be found" error message popped up. When I had FF make a new profile and set it as the default the same connections to livejasmin.com were made when I restarted FF with the new profile. So it is not tied to my profile.

The comment section on various sites is no longer displaying, The Federalist, Townhall, Pjmedia, Hotair, Redstate. All use disqus.com. Settings under privacy and security set to standard. Manage exceptions list all these, including disqus. Turned off, restarted, reloaded sites (not from bookmarks). Works on Edge but not Firefox. Do I just discontinue using Firefox and be done with this? Just checked Firefox for updates-says mine is up-to-date, version 136.0.2.

Firefox 136.0.1, Linux 6.8.0-55, have set Okular as default pdf application, however Firefox will not open pdf file when downloaded nor will it open the file when selecting Open File from the Download Icon on the toolbar. Only was I can get to file is to select Show in Folder option and open from within Dolphin.

When I open a new tab I get an error message if I do not have the web address. This is the message I get.

ie general search for stained glass patterns

Error Description: Could not process this "GET" request.

Have tried suggestions from other strings. Will not open in any mode on my Mac mini so cannot even uninstall. Continue to get message that It is trying to install a new helper tool but will not install or open. Restart did not work, shut down and restart did not work, “safe mode” with shift key or option key does not work.

Transferring bookmarks & backups for passwords is easy and I'm not worried about that. But the about:config settings that I have customized and accreted over years so that nothing beeps, spins, auto-plays, loops, or throbs a tab, are not so straightforward. I'd like to review what files I can save how to make sure I do not lose these, which are the most important things to me about my Firefox installs--keeping the web safe for quiet, nondistracting searches and reading.

Windows 10 Enterprise, managed by my organization, but with just enough admin privileges to customize my Firefox.

HI, there are certian websites that I can't use Firefox with. Its like I cant log in properly. Is a reason? Or do I need to fix my settings? I hate chrome. I don't want to use it, but for some of these sites I have to. Is there something I can do?

Thank you, Michele

Hello Idm is not working with Mozilla Firefox It is perhaps due to update By the way I often use Google chrome, though Firefox is my default browser and I made search engine Google, because other search engine options do not support me in Google books It is also another thing I noticed in chrome : [ your setting is managed by your organization] - this is of course is unusual feature and maybe a malicious thread infected Google policy which I lately solved. It is perhaps my Mozilla browser being affected as well. I see it looks better now. I solved

Thanks
