Firefox Community Forum

Since Mozzila updated to 115.23 to x64 Windows there is no longer the abillity to watch Twich live Streamings. Is this going to be permanent ? Should we all leave Firefox after so many years od succefull use and go to Chrome? Are you aware of similar live broadcasting issues ? Wiil Mozzila include a solution soon?

This is an exact copy of a question with the same title by Steve Ediger, of August 2022, now archived.

Firefox has my credit card information and it shows up in a window when I go to pay for something, but when I click on the credit card I want to pay with, the details appear on the form but get removed almost instantly.

I am in UK. It was working until recently.

None of the earlier answers have helped.

my wife's copy of Firefox picked up a virus. After trying several other things, I saved the profile, uninstalled FF, and installed the latest version. But when I tried starting FF I got an error message: Your Frefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I cannot load the IRS webpage for my account. I load the following page: "https://www.irs.gov/" click on "Sign into your account" which directs me to another webpage: "https://www.irs.gov/your-account". I click on "Individual-sign into online account" and get the following error: "Error from: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/sso/?resumePath=%2Fas%2F0ysmHPaqAO%2Fresume%2Fas%2Fauthorization.ping&allowInteraction=true&reauth=false&connectionId=SADIPACLIENT&vnd_pi_requested_resource=https%3A%2F%2Fsa.www4.irs.gov%2Fola%2F&vnd_pi_application_name=OLA Reference ID:"

I can get into the Direct Pay website with no problem. I also can access my IRS account using my IPhone which makes me think this is a browser problem. I have disabled anti virus with no success. I called IRS and they have never heard of this problem and had no solution and said they didn't handle this issues.

Any suggestions please?

Good day, I have Firefox 138.0.4 running on Windowx 11 24H2. PC details as follows: CPU = Ryzen 5 2400G RAM = 32GB GPU = RTX 3060Ti 8GB Connection is 50/25Mbps fibre connection

My issue is that when watching F1 from the following site: https://f1tv.formula1.com/, after some time (it differs in how long it takes to manifest), the stream starts to stutter. Note, it is NOT buffering, it is like the stream gets "stuck" or freezes for an instant then continues. The "freeze" then becomes more frequent and sometimes even lasts for about 2 seconds before resuming. The most important fact about all this is that this does NOT happen when using Google Chrome, hence my suspicion that it is somehow related to Firefox specifically. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and/or how to fix it, please?

I’ve noticed that Firefox consumes a lot of memory, especially when I have multiple tabs open. Sometimes, it slows down my entire system, and Task Manager shows Firefox using over 1GB of RAM even with just a few tabs. Other browsers like Chrome or Edge seem to handle memory better with the same number of tabs.

I’ve tried restarting Firefox, closing unused tabs, and disabling a few extensions, but the problem keeps coming back. I even checked techsquest.com for tips, but I’m still struggling. Are there specific settings, hidden features, or optimizations I can apply to reduce Firefox’s memory usage without sacrificing performance?

Here’s what I’ve already checked:

Firefox is updated to the latest version.

No unusual extensions running (just uBlock Origin and Dark Reader).

Hardware acceleration is enabled.

Any help would be appreciated—thanks in advance!

Trying to open my doctor's patient portal and I get a "Secure connection failed" Page. So I start Google Chrome and the website comes up like a charm. You people NEED TO GET THIS CR*P FIXED soon. As much as I hate to, I will make Chrome my default browser if this stuff continues for much longer.

After using the "recent browsing" menu in the top left corner of FF and opening certain websites from the "import tabs from other devices" menu it has completely broken a handful of websites on my PC entirely, even using other browsers.

The page will load but no content is displayed, no links or media, just a blank white page. This is consistent among these websites even among other browsers including Chrome and Edge.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF multiple times, cleared cache/history, hard PC resets, refreshed FF, Uninstalled and reinstalled every browser. The issue persists.

These websites still function perfectly fine on mobile FF and Chrome. I've exhausted website permissions, app permissions, etc. The issue still persists. These websites were functioning just minutes before I tried importing them from the other devices tabs. Something about that functionality has completely broken them on my PC.

I have been setting up Passkeys to log in to the websites which allow them. But I have noticed on Paypal, they do not allow me to use passkey when using firefox, it only seems to allow chrome

Is there an issue with firefox which deems it not suitable for passkeys?

I noticed that sopmeone asked this question this time last year and it was advised that firefox is now able to create and store passkeys Paypal still dont seem to allow it?

i recently disabled 2fa and installed a new authentication app: Ente Auth. i keep getting invalid code each time i enter the generated code. i tried both options, scanned the QR code and entered the secret key manually. i used authy with success as my auth. app with firefox but can't use authy anymore. keep having issues setting up 2fa with other auth apps. thanks for any help you can offer. peace, Adrian

However, when you try to advance the time, it does not work. Is shifts momentarily to the next time period, but immediately reverts back.

It works properly in Chrome.

Since April 5th I have lost spell check in the message pane of the emails I type on outlook.live.com It still works in the subject line, but not the message area.

Windows 10 pro 22H2 updated to end of March, when spell check was still working well. Firefox 137.1 English Canada Language selected (has worked well for years)

I go to outlook.live.com to read and answer my @hotmail.com emails.

When right clicking on a misspelled word in the message area I get only these options, Firefox does not give me the usual options.

I am currently having other problems on that site, clearing outlook.live.com cookies does not clear the problems.

This problem only occurs in my Hotmail email account at outlook.live.com using Firefox in the last few weeks.

I typed exactly the same including spaces in both Chrome and Firefox. First 2 lines typed in Chrome, saved the draft, last 2 lines typed in Firefox but in Firefox the nonsense occurs. Amazingly the 2 lines typed using Chrome still display well in Firefox. Firefox adds the extra number in the fractions in the space I had typed! How can I get Firefox to work well at outlook.live.com?

This has only happened in the last few weeks, during all those updates. Am on 138.0.4 Are any of these updates buggy?

Here is something I have never ran into, for some reason suddenly today, I am only able to load about half the websites I try to load. A blank page loads that says "Hmm we're having trouble finding that site". But the tab says "Server not found". Again it's only some pages that won't load.

It does not matter if I click the bookmark, or type in the address,it's always the same pages every time. I tried 19 sites, (10 bookmarks, and 9 typed), plus typing in some of the bookmarks also.

If I change over to Chrome, or any other browser those pages will load. If I use Firefox Mobile, those pages load. Something has gotten messed up in my PC settings, or something.

I have tried clearing the cache, the history, and the cookies, no luck. I restarted into safe mode, and had the same problem.

It's been forever since I had any problems with FIrefox, and must admit I have forgotten most of the troubleshooting tips, that I used to know. But I did remember those, unfortunately none of those are the problem.

What else can I try? Thanks in advance.

BTW: I am submitting this on my phone because this is one site that won't load. If it did I would, I would click the "Share Data" button.

Hi! I'm experiencing an issue where videos on YouTube stutter or play choppily when using Firefox. This happens even when the internet connection is strong and works fine in other browsers like Chrome.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

The issue occurs on both 720p and 1080p videos.

It’s more noticeable when switching to full-screen mode.

I’ve tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it didn’t help.

Firefox is up to date (v126.0).

I’m using Windows 11 and have an NVIDIA GPU with the latest drivers.

I’d appreciate any suggestions or fixes. Thanks in advance for your help!
