Firefox Community Forum

Trying to browse ebay using Firefox. The pages have become really slow when loading.When scrolling down the page is blank then slowly populates as I scroll down the page. I've just tried microsoft edge and there is no problem.

I subscribe to my city's newsletter. It gives quick links "click here" to register for a class, "click here" for information about an upcoming parade. I used to be able to click and get it. Now it tells me It can't find the site OR I might be connected but behind a firewall. There are too many options and too many terms, I don't know what to do, I just want to click links from my city newsletter, and get taken to them. Help???

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at vu4mbwlab.cc.rs6.net.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

When I display a statement from Tesco Bank it opens a new tab and says that I can download or print it from there but I can find no Download tab nor anywhere in the customisation options to add one.

this is supposed to have a QR code, but it does not load. I have attached a still screenshot below.

I also cannot upload images using Firefox to Messenger. The large purple image is a result of an upload, but it should be a picture of a woman saved from Krita.

I tried a setting called "Refresh Firefox" and that fixed it but only for less than a day. whats going on?

My firefox browser being hack multiple times, so I dident use it for multiples years... Now I just want to give it an other chance by removing everything that could create trouble. When I get over the setting windows I can read this: Information Your browser is being managed by your organisation.

I don't understand, this is my private computer. How to remove this organisation management???

Dear,

I use a hotkey for the screen-capture program "Snagit". The hotkey is: CTRL-SHFT-P

However, it now seems that also the AI-search program "Perlexity" uses the same hotkey.

Where can I remove the shortkey for Perplexity?

The small green dot in the upper right that notifies me of a pending update is gone, since several months. When I navigate to About Firefox, or in the settings, I can see that a new version is available and it lets me install the update. But I miss being able to see the notification.

Did I disable some setting by mistake? Auto-updates should be turned on as far as I know.

Videos on Bluesky have never appeared for me, instead they all say "Your browser does not support the video format. Please try a different browser." This seems to happen regardless of the video source.

I used to have an occasional sound problem with FF, usually felt when YT clips could not be heard any more. I mean to remember that it could be fixed (until next time) by restarting the file explorer somewhere in Task Manager - not a convincing solution but one I could live with.

Today, there's a new situation. Again, trigger was the missing YT sound in FF - not in fx Edge, and that the Task Manager trick didn't work (or maybe I restarted the file manager in the wrong tab?). Looking for a solution, I happened to see that the YT mute function in the FF tabs seems to be gone. However, other sounds are affected likewise. Also, I can't see them in Edge either. After various restarts (or maybe something else I did, instigated by the various instructions I found?), the sound is back.

However, while continuing to pursue possible solutions, I also happened to find that my browser is being 'administered by my organisation' - what ever that means (see two annexes). Who did that? I would say, this is not something I did, I would prefer to see it gone. But how? Will the other browsers (which I keep as a spare, and that I'm hardly familiar with) be likewise affected?

This is an equation with too many unknowns for my limited knowledge, are such effects known? Would there be an approved way-out for it?

PS I have checked https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1412934 especially the message posted by lazizakhmedov1014, and do not see this to apply to me - short of a reinstall - FYI

in settings Homepage and new windows use custom urls, current urls doesn't include Pinned tabs. Windows updated and when firefox was restored two windows were opened, one was blank and the other opened old home page settings but did not reopen all my pinned tabs, gmail, yahoo mail,and some other tabs I plnned, there are 5 of them and several regular tabs I had open before and most of them did not show up in history. Pinned tabs do not get included in use custom urls for the home pages. Also for several days my roboform bar would not show up, roboform said no open browers to attach to when firefox was open.

Recently clicked to update to the next version of Firefox. Then I get the message "Restart to Update Firefox." I restart Firefox but the message is still there when I click Help > About Firefox. It would appear that the update did not happen for some reason. Do I need to re-install Firefox to get around this problem?

Why do numbers appear next to some of my shortcuts on my Firefox shortcuts home page? See attached. I only have one tab or window open and this number (5) has incremented over time.

Using Firefox browser 126.0.1 via Steam Deck desktop running SteamOS 3.6.22; I am unable to download any extensions. I tried to download uBlock Origin and ProtonVPN through addons.mozilla.org, but recieved an error message:

"Installation aborted because the add-onn appears to be corrupt."

I then checked other extensions I found on the front page recommendations, like "Dark Reader" and "Image Search Options" and they gave me the same error.

Could not find anything that helped my situation upon searching for solutions, any help would be appreciated.
