Firefox Support Forum

I've been to several websites in the last couple of days that won't load in firefox, but will in chrome ( which I had to download to order groceries and I am not super happy about it ). the most egregious was today, I tried to order groceries from a major grocery store: meijer.com and the main page opened but if I like searched for "coke" it would freeze and nothing would load. not just coke, but also any other search term

I can't drag a downloaded file from Firefox to my desktop on a mac. It used to work and now it doesn't. I've searched and searched and searched to find an answer and nothing has resulted in fixing the problem. I don't seem to have any add ons installed that I can see of unless they are hiding somewhere.

Firefox won't load. In Fact I have been trying to solve this, all to avail.

...BTW. this all happened as a result of me finally clicking the update button. I knew better. Just had a feeling that it would screw something up , and yes it did. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Also MSN is messed up as my home page. PLEASE fix this back like it used to be. Thank you.

Internet websites can be rather heavy these days (like mega.nz or reddit, especially with multiple tabs), and they often take all memory (I think this is about RAM, of which my Macbook Air has only 4 GB, while running Kubuntu 22.10). Firefox very often freezes because of this, and my Linux system gets frozen too, completely unresponsive, with reboot as the only solution...

The problem that I want to solve is not the freezing as such, because that is not Firefox' fault, but that of the websites vs my RAM.

But I have noticed that while Firefox freezes along with the system, Opera, for example, when stumbling into the same problem, simply crashes, and the operating system is not affected.

Is there some setting/tweak in Firefox that makes it keep trying to run when out of memory and thus freeze the system instead of just close, like Opera does?

I used to have Firefox update itself using automatic updates, and occasionally I would manually trigger an update by checking the HELP>ABOUT menu. For some time now, I am getting an error message inside the ABOUT pop-up window. The current message is "Unable to check for updates due to internal error".

I've un-installed and re-installed several times. It doesn't happen on other computers I own where updates work just fine.

I tried searching, but couldn't find anything relevant

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks !

Firefox always slow to load page after booting , compare to other browser i have only firefox have this problem other browser normal not to fast not too slow to open page site after booting

try safe mode or new profile well this is problem. i can't do it why ? i need shutdown pc and take break , if shutdown and turn on it's no effected cause this same as restart but with a style,

I'm not going to fight with this very long, this will instantly make me go back to chrome or even edge. I might even go to opera, as all the suggested forums when searching this issue get too deep, too technical, and too much time for me even to bother with on a browser. It's easier to install another one and should not even be this way in the first place.

That being said, it's usually not hard to fix these issues by simply disabling the way firefox copy/pastes intelligently. I don't want it to be intelligent. I want pure text only.

I do not understand why CTRL+C and CTRL+V isn't working. Even when I try to take the text I TYPED, out into a text document, I copy, and don't even get CLOSE to what I see I'm copying, this is ultterly the worst bug I've ever seen. It doesn't even make sense, all my paragraphs are backwards, sentences in the wrong places. A simple copy and paste, should copy and paste not modify the contents. If it can't see what I'm typing then it has a problem. I can see it fine. It's simply an unusable program 2 days after switching.

So where's the setting (If not any please let me know I'll uninstall immediately) to fix this. I want firefox only to copy raw text data period every time. I don't care if it has HTML code etc, I'll just cut the edges off. All I want is text only.

To add to this, this seems to be a multiple faceted issue. CTRL+Z fails to work properly. CTRL+X fails to cut properly. CTRL+Y fails to redo properly. Everything has completely butchered my long explanations and technical support making this browser absolutely useless to me. I'd rather have internet explorer 6 than this.

Google with Captcha is killing Firefox.

Captcha constantly comes up in Firefox and stalls browsing.

Not as much of an issue with Google Chrome.

Often stuck for ages entering Captcha nonsense in Forefox.

What can Firefox people do about this crap?

Hi,

After an update, Firefox does not recognize middle click at all. It worked in the past, but no longer. For example, middle clicking on... - a hyperlink should open a tab in the background - a bookmark bar item or bookmark menu should open that bookmark in background - empty space on the webpage should initiate autoscroll - a tab handle on the Firefox title bar area should close that tab None of these work as of now.

I'm on Windows 10, and I am using a Logitech MX Master 3 via USB Unifying receiver. I checked Logi Options+ app and confirmed the middle button is correctly set to middle button (default) and there's no per-app settings for Firefox.

For years, never a problem. Suddenly, the Roboform lower toolbox, while being checked in the latest Firefox options, will not actually show up. The Roboform help suggestions are numerous but haven't helped at all. Something somewhere has been changed and it's most unfortunate but I cannot continue with Firefox. Chrome does load the lower toolbar with no problems ever. I dislike switching but unless help comes soon, I will be forced to. I am on Firefox all day every day and am slowly moving up through coding systems.

I am no longer able to log in to eBay using Firefox. I am using Firefox 78.15esu bc I have an older Mac that will only support up to Mac OSX 10.11. I was able to use eBay up until this morning when the site asked me to log in again... and verify that I am indeed a human through the hCaptcha checker. The checker cycles between identifying horses and lions... and every time, I seem to pass but then comes the message "Failed to pass Captcha, Please try again." I can access eBay using Safari and Chrome. Right before the failure today, the rendering of the eBay pages was odd... needed 3x the screen width to see the whole page. eBay says that the problem is on the Mozilla side of this issue... mostly because I can use a different browser without problem. I think I am in agreement with them. I don't really want to use a different browser but I will bc I like eBay, too. Please advise.

When going full-screen on video, the browser doesn't show the full-screen the first time.

For example, when I want to view a full-screen video on YouTube/Disney/Netflix/Prime Video, I select the full-screen button as usual. However the top left-hand side corners always show a thin blue hue. The thin blue hue only goes away when I leave full-screen and re-select it.

Any ideas on what might be causing this? My browser is up-to-date

I have problems with dragging files from downloads directly to my desktop. Now, in order to drag downloaded files I have to open the downloads folder, which is an additional step and a nuisance.

Is there any way to get the old functionality back?

Im using Firefix 111.0.1 (64-bit) on my Mac M2 2022, with the Ventura 13.2.1 MacOS

With the latest update of Firefox, my laptop, which is a high end DELL, is experiencing big difficulties just running a Firefox with 3 tabs open. the CPU usage is skyrocketing and it is also heavy on the memory. I am running the same 3 tab on the same websites as I have been doing for the past 6 months, but since the latest Firefox update, this has become impossible. What happened to Firefox? I have had no other significant updates but the Firefox update.

Updated to latest Firefox, 111.0.1 64 bit. Browser is now extremely slow to load. Hangs up on some web sites. Lots of little blue time out circles. Almost unusable. Have to reboot to get the browser to load.

'bold textpr end of file error, pages will not load have to constantly press retry. mostly in email and home page. I have reloaded deleted and reloaded still the same things '

my facebook ends after a dozen posts with the error message saying reload bur reload does nothing I still can not scan down my facebook posts this only happens on Firefox no other browser has a problem

Congratulations your browser is useless thanks to your latest update. I am unable to open numerous sites that EDGE, Chrome and Opera open without issue. Firefox is my default browser. I'm about to switch to something else permanently because you've made it a total pain in the ass to use.

FIX IT!!!!!
