Firefox Community Forum

Hi. Recently, a old issue has comeback on my firefox. When I load youtube video, or a twitch livestream, at 60FPS, and I scroll down the page, the scroll "lags" until the player is off screen. By lags i mean it slows down the scroll and is no longer smooth. This is an issue I've had before and had successfully dealt with by accessing about:config and turning media vp9 off, but it has returned fairly recently, since I do not remember this issue happening before the last week, maybe two. Another issue, also on youtube, is that when I scroll down through shorts, sometimes after a couple of videos, the browser will visually freeze entirely, but will still allow me to click things on the page and also play sounds. After about 20 or so seconds, it will unfreeze and work normally.

I understand that this issue, atleast the 60fps scroll lag, has been an issue for a while and I have tried multiple fixes for it, changing various boolean settings, refreshing firefox, updating my Nvidia drivers to the newest via nvidia app which i should add has never been an issue for the past few months and has worked flawlessly and my nighmarish evening of troubleshooting ended with me completely fully uninstalling firefox and redownloading fresh, but the issue presists.

It should be noted that on other browsers, I have no such issue. Im not sure if mentioning this is some sort of taboo or persona non grata, but i also downloaded and tested Waterfox, and it also does not have this issue. The only band aid fix I found for the moment is that turning off Hardware Acceleration fixes the scroll issue, but it causes awful screen tearing, which is just as bad and distracting.

So to my understanding, 3 potential things are happening. This issue is just in my head Something on my pc is dying and I have a mechanical or software problem Or finally, there is some issue with a recent update, either with firefox or maybe some driver somewhere causing an issue. It just upsets me greatly due to this being a relatively new issue. As stated I have dealt with the scroll lag before and did find a permanent fix, and firefox has since worked literally flawlessly for months/years. But now, somewhere within the last week, maybe 2, something has gone wrong. I hope this gets fixed in an update, or if others have this problem there is a fix. Thank you.

I have been using virtualrailfan.com but recently have experienced non operation of the app. Using another browser does not have this difficulty. The site starts OK but going to a sub-site, it refuses to start Virtualrailfan says it is a problem on my end and the fact that another browser works, confirms this fact. They initially said zoom was the problem but changing that in the browser didn't work. Please help

Ich werde Firefox nicht mehr benutzen, alle Fenster verschwinden wenn man Firefox wieder startet obwohl dies in den Einstellungen "Vorherige Fenster und Tabs öffnen" steht! Scheinbar ist keiner fähig dies zu beheben und keiner hilft! Sehr fragwürdig!! So könnt ihr euren Firefox beerdigen!!!

Just got the new update. Now, it won't let about 80% of my pages load at all. They just sit there and constantly refresh, so that you can't actually browse the site. Please don't make me have to start using another browser. This is a pretty big glitch, how did this pass Q.C. out of curiosity? That's not like Mozilla at all. Very surprising.

Lately when following links from google searches to some sites I get a "can't find" or "access not allowed". These sites tend to be hardware stores - specifically Home Depot or Lowes and some times Walmart. It is NOT my OS!! Because I copy the URL and paste it into Chrome and it works just fine.

Obviously switching to Chrome would solve this issue - but I've used Firefox for years and prefer to stick with it.

What's changing out there that is causing these incompatibilities?

At one time firefox had If I remember rite it was an extension or something "its ben many years ago" to click on "Show related link" button . Whatever site you were on if u clicked it would show you other sites there were of the same site you were on. I'm just wondering if there still is an ext. For this.

Windows11，firefox版本149.0，增强型跟踪保护设置为标准，基于 HTTPS 的 DNS”启用策略为默认保护，扩展全关。在我打开www.douyin.com的标签页时，通常要加载5秒钟甚至10秒钟，视频才会播放（如图）。作为对比，我在edge浏览器上登陆了同一个抖音账号，打开同样的书签页面，edge并未出现明显加载画面，在chrome上打开未登陆的抖音标签页也未出现明显加载画面。这个情况也许是从近期firefox自动更新后出现的？请问如何解决

Password Manager will not save a URL larger than the first few words (base URL). But the site necessary to login contains more directions after the "xxx.com", and Password Manager truncates everything after the ".com" so it will not return to the proper site to login.

up until this latest version you could delete your search history with a simple right click. This option no longer exists and there is no easily found way to delete "Search History" where did it go? will it be returned? is Search History no longer delete able?

Hello. Yesterday, I deleted all the stored login information, such as cookies. Latter, I tried to make login, I filled my name and password. As usual, Facebook refuses to login, giving me a choice of extra steps necessary. I chosen to receive a security code on my e-mail. I copy and pasted it on the suitable place and click on the button to proceed.

That's when things stop working. It usually it works as expected, but now it just return to the login page, nothing filled. Bellow, an apparently relevant info the shows on browser console:

"ErrorUtils caught an error:

_.getClientCapabilities is not a function [Caught in: Passkey authentication failed during visibility callback]

Subsequent non-fatal errors won't be logged; see https://fburl.com/debugjs. Object { column: "1421", clientTime: 1774704924, extra: {}, guardList: [], hash: "ukkpfs", isNormalizedError: true, line: "86", loggingSource: "FBLOGGER", message: "_.getClientCapabilities is not a function [Caught in: Passkey authentication failed during visibility callback]", messageFormat: "_.getClientCapabilities is not a function [Caught in: Passkey authentication failed during visibility callback]", … } D_9oglqPD5n.js:79:56"

I use BT internet for emails. When composing an email I type the addressee into the To box. The full address pops up but when I click on it Firefox only copies in the first few letters. The address is then highlighted in red as invalid. I have been in touch with BT who say that this is a known Firefox problem. I found this to be true becasue my email service works fine in Chrome. However Firefox is my preferred browser so I would like to get this fixed. Thank you.

From some long time the is no sound when i open music or movie in browser dont know whats happend - restart or new version of browser did not help at all - other browsers everything works fine

After new update my Firefox is completely bricked. I can't do anything with it, it just wiped all of my tabs out and now I can't open any, search or do anything.

All my settings are blank, running private doesn't help. If I right click a tab, it shows up with "new" and all of the other opens are blank.

It first happened after the update, only my first and last tab had titles. All the other tabs open turned blank, and could not be accessed. Then the second time I accessed them, they had all disappeared.

Tried reinstalling, didn't help.

On desktop, but had to make this on mobile because I can't even get to the support website.

Up until today (3/26) , accessing CompuServe (AOL) mail was not an issue. Now , getting to the site is OK , but when it attempts to access the mail , I get:

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, compuserve.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

What changed overnight? After getting the message , if I click on Mail , it works just fine. There is also a similar message when closing the page , but not every time.

Any clues?
