12/12/24 - netflix says i need to upgrade firefox browser in order to watch vis, but running MOST current version (115.18.0esr). Mac OS 10.12.6 . need help fixing issue. thanks

Working on setting up a new PC build. I've had to use some PC support website chats and many of them have just not acted right? For example, one would allow me to start a chat but then sent me directly to closing the chat like we were finished. The others would lock up my Firefox many times. Anything come to mind as to why this is happening? Windows 11 Pro v24H2 and latest Firefox version.

I am a Cacti developer and we are considering switching from FontAwesome Web Fonts to Tabler Web Fonts. However, on Firefox for Windows only, we are having a major slowdown when using the Tabler SVG based webfonts. The page load is first stalled by Firefox apparently loading all the Web Fonts, which would appear normal with any browser (though exceedingly slow on Firefox for some reason).

However, once the page is loaded, when going off tab to another browser tab, and then back to the Firefox tab that includes the Tabler webfonts, there is a 3 second delay before the tab switches. When we enable the performance analyzer, we find that the delay is almost 100% Reflow of the page, even though the page is static as this point (no changes) from the last time it was activated.

We do not have this issue on Firefox for Linux, MS Edge or any other Chromium browser, only Firefox on Windows. I'm using the latest version 134. Should I be opening a bug?

I have an account with the site, https://www.thecalendarcreator.com . It is a software that creates calendars for the present and future years. I have turned off Enhanced Tracking for the site (that worked for another site of theirs that I joined). Some functions work, many do not work correctly, if at all.

My computer is a Mac, v 10.13.6, so it's getting old. I have contacted thecalendarcreator.com support, and they can't find anything wrong on their end. They have suggested that perhaps it's some sort of anti-virus setting on my end. I've been looking at my Settings, but I'm no techie, so I don't know what to do. I would greatly appreciate your help, so I can hopefully get this site to work.

Thank you very much, Lea Lashaway

i AM RECEIVING EMAILS ALL DAY LONG FROM SECUREDJOINTNETWORK TELLING MY SYSTEM IS INFECTED.. MY SECURITY PREVENTS THAT i WANT THESE NOTICES STOPPED, BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

After a recent update to Firefox 133.0.3 (on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 22.04), Firefox is having difficulty connecting to websites and exhibiting some other odd behavior:

- After initially starting Firefox, it will load websites (e.g., previously open tabs) for up to 30 seconds. After that, it will not load any website in a new tab, showing the loading animation for several seconds before stopping all activity and just displaying an hourglass icon in the tab. These sites can be connected to in other web browsers. - After closing Firefox, its process is still running; I have to manually find its pid and kill it. - If I start Firefox from the terminal, I see these messages when it starts having trouble loading websites:

libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0 libva info: Trying to open /snap/firefox/5437/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

Hi,

I have donated to Mozilla Foundation in the past and will gladly do so again once a vexing issue has been resolved. I am using the latest Firefox version for Mac.

While using the updated Mozilla Firefox recently I find that allthewordsItypesticktogetherlikethis when I try to search for something. It can also happen when I type emails using Firefox. So I often have to change back to Safari.

Also, I notice that with the updated Firefox version, a mysterious blue square appears around the text I am working on.

Do you have any suggestions or instructions as to how to stop the annoyingjoingingtogether of words from happening? Please help!

Thankyou!

We use Firefox to check our bank accounts. For that last 24 hours, we are stopped at a page that says Firefox cannot connect due to security problems. Does anybody know what's going on?

Hi Firefox Team, I've been a Firefox browser user for the last 5 years and now I'm facing difficulties while loading webpages, Is there any solution to loading the webpages so I can continuously use it...

Observed:

I use Firefox 133 on Mint 22, I have 2 browser profiles. When I access Atlassian Confluence (any confluence page under atlassian.net), the page content is loaded, but then disappears and I get the following error at the top of the page: "This page was in the background for too long and may not have fully loaded. Try to refresh the page"

This only happens in one browser profile: in the other, all the pages open correctly and quickly. When I open a private tab using the problematic browser profile, again all the pages open correctly.

I have tried clearing all atlassian.net and atlassian.com cookies and data from the browser privacy settings, disabling all extensions, restarting the browser, even restarting the computer, but to no effect.

Expected: Confluence pages should open using any browser profile.

Reproducibility: 20+ out of 20+ attempts

Workarounds:

Temporarily use the other browser profile or a private tab, although that way I don't have the benefit of using browser history and if I kill the browser while using private tabs, private tabs will not be restored, so I lose track of what I was working on. I could use a different browser for confluence, but that has the same history problem and is generally senseless: Confluence should work correctly using any browser.

Notes:

I have seen similar issues 3-4 times before with Confluence, but it was always due to extensions, so disabling the problematic extension or configuring it to ignore anything related to Atlassian was sufficient. I would report this to Atlassian, but they'll just say "it works with a blank browser, so it's not our bug" and they're probably right. There's some kind of Atlassian-related state being preserved in the problematic browser profile, but I can't pinpoint it, so any help there is welcome.

Whenever I login to the web site "SSA.GOV" and click the login button, the next screen presented in Firefox is: "Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

If I go to a Private Window, type in the SSA.Gov and then select the Login page, I am presented with the correct page and can then supply my information and login.

Hi,

The scouting association have updated their members website to membership.scouts.org.uk. This works, but from there is a link to my learning.scouts.co.uk. Sometimes this works but often I get "bad request, error 400". I've had to move to Edge when using this website. I didn't want to! I've used Firefox for years

Firefox is no longer compatible with my bank's system. I can't log in with the secure access code the bank sends to verify my identity when using Firefox. The bank says it is a problem with Firefox. Other browsers work flawlessly ... are you working on a solution? I only use Firefox unless forced to use something else ...

I am using the most current version of Firefox with Windows 10. At this web site: https://tenthousandpots.com/ , I am unable to browse the majority of the site i.e., no products appear when selected. I also tried DuckDuckGo and had the same issue. However, when I downloaded and accessed the site via Google Chrome, the site worked as it should. I reached out to the TenThousandPots site and advised them of this and they said they've had no similar reports. Can anyone advise?

If I visit the website www.silviadesimone.it (I am the webmaster) through Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, I can see the visit counter in the left bottom corner of the page. If I use Mozilla Firefox (that is the browser that I normally use) the visit counter does not appear. According to the ShinyStat helpdesk it could depend on some Firefox plugin that does not allow the counter to show. Can you help me? Thank you

We are getting errors that css values not defined as if the css file is not loaded from our CDN, which is only happening in Firefox and not other browsers that we support.

We confirmed something changed in Firefox that is triggering this around FF version 132. With the ESR (currently 128.5) and the page is working correctly. When we switched back to latest 133 and the bug is there

In the situations it happens, sometimes our css is NOT being loaded. In others, it is loaded and doesn't work but I see things trying to render before the file shows up in the console network logs. When it works...it is coming up cached. So this feels like a race condition of some type

I'm pretty sure the rule is that css is blocking, because we discussed race conditions when we implemented this, so this might be a Firefox bug? If this is a Firefox bug that isn't in an esr yet, we want to get it filed against firefox and fixed before the next esr.

We even tried a hacky patch on our code's method that is in question, as well as tried putting the expected css font-family style into a <style> tag in our index.html. The patch worked on Windows. It did not work on Mac. Stepping through the code, we see `undefined` / `null`. This definitely implies that the css styles simply have not been applied when the first component asking for the theme is routing through this code.

So again: our Firefox > 132. ESR up to 131 doesn't produce this issue, so something changed in Firefox 132.

If we tried loading our css file in a parent page (just loading, not using) to get it into the mix sooner, it doesn't help. An iframe is still loading faster than its parent frame is loading that css file from the CDN.
