Firefox Support Forum

Once again the failure of Firefox to work with comment sections of many websites has reared its head in the latest update of Firefox. I'm using Windows 11 with latest updates. This occurred suddenly in the middle of commenting. Other web browser are OK. These constant recurring problems with Firefox are getting tiresome and although I like the browser and am comfortable using it, I'm seriously considering abandoning it for these annoyances.

I subscribe to the Times.co.uk but past few days am unable to navigate on the website eg if I press 'show more on the web page' nothing happens. `It does work however if I access using my Safari browser, so clearly not a 'Times' issue

Hello,

I signed into mozilla firefox on my father's computer at his home. I was visiting for the week and forgot my laptop. I logged his firefox account, then signed in with my details. Now I am seeing all of my father's login credentials when I am logged in to my firefox account at my home. I am not sure how it happened but I would like to not see my father's credentials for every website. Thank you.

I've got a persistent issue where Firefox immediately crashes when I open it initially.

Starting it again after this crash works totally fine, though if I close out and re-open a few times it will crash consistently (after every 3-5th-ish open).

It has been happening for the last year or so, and despite clean installs of the browser as well as other diagnostics it won't go away. It's incredibly annoying :(

Hoping the Firefox community can give me a hand and help solve this.

Cheers, Ciaran

God, your programmers or other workers make these instructions so darn complex! I was a programmer and I now hate trying to find how to make a recommendation to you. Somebody went a bit berserk writing these supposed help pages.

You need that programmer to put a cursor at the beginning of the line where we type our description of the article to be saved. And that programmer has a lot of energy, so please allow us to search for the word that WE write as the description. For $4.99 a month, I expect both of these small software changes. We save so many articles and really need to be able to search for whatever code we write as the description of the saved article.

God only knows if this is going to the correct department. This website is a maze of information.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the network protocol was detected. Why do i keep getting this message only on firefox but all my other web browsers work fine when doing web searches

I'm not sure how long this has been going on for, perhaps a month now, but I cannot search for anything when I am in a Facebook group. A blue loading bar appears at the top and fills all the way to the end but no search results are ever returned no matter how long I wait.

I've tried clearing the cache, clearing all history and cookies. I've tried starting Firefox in diagnostic mode without add-ons, I've tried refreshing. I even uninstalled the whole thing and reinstalled it as a clean copy but it still doesn't work! It's beyond irritating now.

For information, if I switch to Internet Explorer, or whatever they call that awful thing now, it does work.

I'm running Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

Appreciate any help,

Ben

/moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section (for Windows, macOS, and Linux).

I participate in a number of different surveys. Using Firefox. Only one of the surveys has become inaccessible on Firefox while I can still access it using Google. What has happened?

I am running Apple OS High Sierra, 10.13.6 on an older iMac Mid 2011. My Preferences have always been set, or checked, General_Tabs "Open links in Tabs instead of NEW Window."

The result is a Firefox screen full of Single Windows with Single Tabs. Some Windows I may continue to add Tabs to but most of the time I copy the link from the NEW Window and paste the link on the older Window. If I am in a hurry the result will be many many Opened NEW Windows with one or two NEW Tabs. See attachments. This has been going on for at least 6 months now.

Note your checkbox titled "Email me when someone answers the thread" does not work but please email me at "[email removed from public]".

Thanks in advance!

This may seem to be a senseless problem, but I don't see well and it's rather important to me. There is the search/address bar at the top of the screen. There is also the somewhat larger one down towards the middle of the screen. This is the one I use a lot. Recently, when I start typing in that lower box, I am immediately jumped to the upper one. This is something new. I cannot find a setting to prevent this from happening. (I have tried switching browsers - someone suggested that might help, but not so.) I would very much appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

I have been using Firefox since Day 1 and never had an issue. Earlier today while searching, the screen went blank except for the menu strip across the top. I closed it down and restarted and it goes back to a blank screen with the menu strip. I click on any item in the menu and choose a sub-item and there is no response. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times and always get a message saying, "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll missing". The install finishes but when I restart I get the same blank screen with the menu bar. I am running Windows 11 on a Samsung NP750TDA. Please help. I cannot go to MS Edge.

FIREFOX WILL NO LONGER DISPLAY DATA AFTER THE LAST TWO UPDATES. i GET THE 'VCRUNTIME 140_140.DLL (NOT FOUND)" message. I HAVE TRIED TO INSTALL THE RUNTIME LIBRARY AND REINSTALLING FIREFOX BUT STILL BAD! i AM NOT A COMPUTER REAL COMPUTER SMART AND MAY NOT BE DOING THINGS CORRECTLY. NEED MORE DETAILED HELP! THANK YOU

When I type something random in the search bar without http or https the Google search result loads just fine, and I can go to the next page on Google and everything.

But when I use the http or https protocol nothing loads or I get "the connection has timed out".

All other browsers I have installed work just fine.

Before the error happened I changed Firefox proxy settings. Right now the setting is "no proxy".

I made a very interesting observation. Somehow I got lucky and managed to go to https://www.google.com just once. If I copy and paste the link the site loads again just fine. However, if I change the url to another website like https://www.bing.com/ then the site doesn't load and eventually I get the error "connection has timed out".

Any ideas?

and I appreciate it
