Firefox Community Forum

I find that my desktop browser firefox is very slow or doesn't work at all on a lot of websites like amazon or fortnine.

My internet connection and computer are not the issue: 270Mbps (wired connection) Processor AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.70 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable) Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (16 GB) Storage 3.58 TB of 10.92 TB used System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor (Windows 11)

My old PC and my mobile phone runs these website fine.

Sometimes the website will work for a moment, but stop and just load for ever after I open a new tab or clink a link. My task manager doesn't show any ethernet usage despite the tabs indicating they are trying to load. Refreshing the tabs does nothing and no matter how long I leave them they don't load. All my drivers, OS and programs are up to date. I have disabled my enhanced tracking protection and I don't have any adblockers. I have tried using the CMD "ipconfig -renew" and using ccleaner to clear out my cookies and cache but, nothing seems to have any lasting effect.

I am losing my mind trying to fix this. Why can I not browse the internet on my PC?

Any help on this would be amazing and much appreciated.

Sincerely, Calvin

I have allowed instagram, but ever since Firefox updated a few days ago, all of my "notification" on Instagram are blocked. This is the first time this has ever happened in over 3 years of instagram use on my PC via Firefox.

In the past, when I would click on a link on my home page, the link would open in a new tab, but I would stay on my home page so that I could look at the opened link later. Now when I click on a link on my home page, it doesn’t open in a new tab, but rather opens the link in the same tab that I was viewing my home page on. I have checked my settings, and everything appears to be how I want it. I believe that the "Open links from apps next to your active tab" is the setting that should accomplish what I want. I do have it checked, and yet it won't open my links in a new tab. How do I get links to open in a new tab?

When I want to to send a link through whatsapp, Firefox defaults to the web page (uninstalled) instead of the desktop application (installed) and I have to open it manually. It started a while ago and is very annoying.

Win11 Pro latest version, 64GB RAM,

Linux Mint OS Firefox 152.0.4 Firefox does not recognize embedded iframes in local app page, anymore! I have a local docker app that can be accessed and functions properly,except for one thing The app has pages that have an iframe embedded within each page The iframe USED to display the correct iframe data for the page displayed NOW when an app page is accessed . everything on the page displays as normal and in the correct physical location,, EXCEPT for the iframe !!! The iframe contains a LOCAL url The page "looks" as if there is no iframe to be acessed ANY ideas??? Thanks, Anne

I recently made the switch to Firefox full time a few weeks ago, and in that time, I have been getting more and more annoying at how Firefox renders Youtube.com.

If I'm on my feed, and I click to watch a video, watch it and go back, I never know what I'm going to see when it goes back a page. Obviously it goes back to youtube.com, but I never know if it's going to load at the top of my feed, or about ten rows down. Even if I click a video in the very first row, and then go back a page, it may or may not load at the top of my feed. I could also actually click a video on the tenth row, and then when I go back, it might load at the top of my feed, though that is not as common, it has happened. It also sort of, kind of, reloads the page when it goes back, but never goes back to the point on my feed at the spot where the video I just watched is, as Chrome and Brave do.

This is not how Chrome or Brave do things, and yes, I know they use a different engine, and I'm sure that's the reason for this issue. Chrome or Brave, if I'm watching a video and click back to my feed, they are much better at loading what is in cache, even if I the video was on the 100th row. I can then manually refresh if I want to.

I have been with Firefox for over 20 years. The main reason is that it has always performed exactly the way I wanted it to. Just now I got a notification in windows that "Firefox is now configured to startup when you log in" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING??? This is EXACTLY why I have used Firefox for so many years BECAUSE IT DID NOT RUN IN THE BACKGROUND CONSTANTLY!!!!! When I close something I want it OFF completely. I use a key manager and sign in and out as I need to and the LAST thing I want from a browser is it constantly running. I am an IT and systems manager and my primary reason for owning a PC is audio and video production. Background services cause issues with high performance real time audio systems which is exactly why I run windows server 2022 on all my workstations. This is also one of the biggest issues with Windows 11. Edge is one of the first things that I remove from an operating system for that same exact reason, and is also the reason I dumped Chrome nearly 2 decades ago. The recent changes I have been seeing with Firefox have been tolerable but this breaks that. I surely hope that is not the future or I will be searching for a new browser to use, even if it has to be a portable. I just want to know WHY?

Hi I very often have problems playing videos on X/Twitter but not all of the time. Some videos just won't play but others do no problem. It's very frequent though and i have searched for a solution to this and can't find one.

Hi, I had to reinstall my windows where I thought my Firefox would sync up upon reinstallation. However, nothing would sync up and the best I could do myself was to import pretty out-of-date Chrome data. When I to my firefox account and scroll to connected services I see my last PC name with its firefox login. Is there any way to recover that data and import to my current device? I read you kept sync data as encrypted data on your Mozilla servers, so I hope that's a viable solution.

Hello, I noticed a few times that after waking my computer up from sleep mode, I seem to lose audio from the browser completely. I look into my audio mixer and I do see the browser is giving audio, but I can't hear it through my headphones.

Last time i fixed it, I had to restart my computer and it fixed the issue, but I don't want to continue in having this issue at times. I have also tried restarting firefox by ending it in the task manager and re-opening it, but that doesn't seem to fix it.

i really need this colour switch pls. my firefox kept crashing with no explanation (maybe some extension i had, then deleted when the crashes began) so i had to reset the whole thing. now the appearance has changed. i had put back my background picture, witch was fine with me, but the text was black instead of white like it used to. and it makes me use firefox less. i think its something to do with the website contrast but I'm not sure.

In navigation bar near the top of my home page, the Home Page widget is missing after a hack was corrected by a technician. i want to restore that Home Page widget to its original place in the left-hand section of the bar. So that even if I am in a different program or app--such as my email Inbox--I can toggle to my Home Page by clicking on the Home Page widget. How can i do that? i'm running Windows 11 and a Firefox browser.

Firefox frequently and continuously force-closes the entire program on me, multiple times a day. I have tried updating my computer, checking for Firefox updates, and any extension updates that could be affecting this. HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS STOP?
