Hi everyone,

I have been having some problems with the log in button on several websites, with some websites not loading after I click 'log in'. I tried disabling add-ons on Firefox and going into 'Safe Mode', but it doesn't seem to work. Can you help me please?

Thank you.

Hi :) I have a problem with FireFox and I hope someone will be able to help me sort it out :) After the last update there is a new "feature" that is driving me insane and it's slowing me down to the point I'm ready to ditch FF. I'm talking about the "Open with Firefox" option, under "What should Firefox do with this file?". Is there any way for me to remove this "feature" from the dialog and to revert to the old "Open with..." and "Save File" list? Why is this thing there in the first place, I wonder?!

Thank you for you time and help!

On my Telenor site, there is in the corner a little letter and says webmail. When I click on that I get my old friends webmail adress and he died for 2 years ago!?? How to get tis off from my site???? I did help him before to read his mail etc. I have tried everything and talked to Telenor but they said I have to talk to Mozilla! I cant speak så good tecnical english so I wanted to speak with some one on swedish and dont tell me to go to your fourms, I need personal help NOW! Se my picture!

I am facing two issues with Firefox. I am using Firefox on Macbook Pro 2017 with i7 processor and 16GB Ram, but after importing all my bookmarks from chrome its laggy like when i move mouse hover the bookmarks its animation response time is slow ie :- Moving cursor up and down the blue animation strip its bit delay comparatively mouse cursor movement.

Secondly i am having issue with YouTube, when i am double click on YouTube video to full-screen its give blank screen for a sec its bit annoying i think it need to fix.

So I'm trying to compile the newest FF78 (W7x64).

   hg pull && hg update

Now as usual, "mach" annoyingly complains about some compiler being outdated, so as every month I have to

   mach bootstrap

I select 2 (normal FF), it downloads "node.tar.bz2", then "fix-stacks.tar.bz2" and then crashes with "Could not find artifacts for a toolchain build named `win32-minidump-stackwalk`".

So what exactly does it want me to do and why does this happen?

"mach clobber python" does not work.

Thank you

I live in the mountains of North Wales so am at the end of a lot of copper or (even) aluminium wires. I rotate ISPs regularly and have been at this shit since the WWW was invented and have even bought a Cisco router to host our own web site in the 1990s. I KNOW that the ISPs manage my connection speeds, router management software WILL be more capable than the Cisco router we managed ourselves!! I notice a similar profile of getting the speeds that are advertised at the start of a contract and then to throttle it as they add more customers to the same kit that they lease from OpenReach; increased latency! I also get OpenReach business notifications and know that the ISPs pay OpenReach for not only bandwidth that they use but also the electricity that powers them, OpenReach also charge for shit loads more but lets stick to the simples! ALL the ISPs deny ANY management function which is disengenuous to say the least!! There is a worrying trend in businesses to not only have no usable phone numbers (I had about eight BT numbers when we had the Cisco Router but NONE work anymore) due to the telephony shit that infests what laughly passes for customer service these days. {Thinks: Is there an undisclosed word limit to this field!?!?? I daren't hit return to go to a new para 'cause it might send like the excreble messaging systems which pass for comms in these benighted days!! My point for the designers of Firefox is: when I try to do "Speed test I can count up to FIVE seconds before a Ping is registered which is never more than a 100ms so that's bollocks! Then it doesn't matter how many tabs I have open (often shit loads) the speeds that I get are independant and even when I'm "listening" to radio articles that doesn't effect the results either! A GENUINE speed test should be built into Firefox don't ya think??

I have two microphones on my computer. One is on my C270 web cam and the other is a headset plugged into my g110 keyboard. The one that was plugged into my g110 was working fine until about 2 or 3 months ago when all the various chat programs I used though the browser for work (hangouts, webex, etc.) stopped recognizing I even had a mic when I used Firefox. The worked correctly when I used Chrome. The audio though my headphones plugged into the same keyboard works fine only the mic is the issue.

I recently got a C270 and now when I try to use those programs the popup asking to share my mic has returned, however the only thing that shows up is the C270 mic not the USB one though my keyboard.

I do not want to use the C270 mic as it is not very good and picks up to much background noise so I am still having to use chrome any time I need to do audio chat or conferencing for work.

Firefox has stopped display embedded images in my E-Bay listings. See the attached screen shots for the HTML code and results. I have tried all of the solutions posted here with no good results. This seems to have started in the pas few releases.

If I check my internet speed in Firefox using various speed test websites, it shows 50Mb download, and upload shows about 9Mb. In any other Browser it reports 70Mb down and 20Mb up. It has been 70 up & 20 down for some years. If I restart Firefox in safe mode, I get 70Mb / 20Mb as expected. If I remove Add-ins, it is still slow. I tried a refresh, and it's still slow. I have no extensions, themes and have turned hardware acceleration off. Changing the proxy settings doesn't help either.

I just installed Firefox (64-bit) v 78.0.1.

Here is the problem---> I am trying to delete individual items/urls from the search drop down menu. The usual/previous way to do this was to use the cursor to highlight the item to be deleted and click SHIFT+DELETE.

This does not seem to work. Additionally, when I went to the HELP page to discover how to do this, it indicates using the procedure above--which does not work.

How do I stop pages from jumping while scrolling? Happens when scrolling on lots of websites: Youtube and yahoo for example.

Any help?

I have been a long time Firefox user, mainly on my 10 year old iMac. Purchased a new iMac this spring and installed Firefox. Everything was fine for the first month or so, then problems started popping up. Spinning rainbow, bouncing icon with no connection, dead in the water responses from browser, etc. None of these which ever happened with the old machine. Apple support wasn't much help since Firefox is a third party program. Tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox and it worked fine for a couple of weeks, then the same problems started again. Have run a couple of virus and malware programs to be sure there were no problems.

Pretty frustrated at this point, don't really want to use Safari unless absolutely necessary, and haven't gotten near Chrome for years. Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks, Joe
