for about a month my firefox home screen is greyed out in the "thought provoking stories" and it is continuously flashing. Everything works, ie. I can still search the net, etc. but this is driving me crazy. I have tried everything from checking settings, through extension conflicts and resetting, but nothing makes any difference. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it came back with the same problem. i have windows 10 and am getting ready to upgrade to 11, but I would like everything working as it should before doing the upgrade. I even tried to change my profile, but I'm not sure how to do it and it made no difference. Any help will be much appreciated.

I have been having intense issues with Firefox over the last 2 weeks. Firefox windows freeze then crash, tabs randomly crash sometimes it just closes with no crash or anything.

Running Firefox in trouble shoot mode also crashes I have tried reinstalling and refreshing. Clear of all virus or malware. Fresh graphics install and drivers

This is the most recent crash report link text

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

In some tabs, my address bar flickers. I have not observed any clear pattern as to why this happens, though I can say for certain that re-doing the browsing steps in a new tab will sometimes solve the issue.

Incredibly odd!

Note that I am on a portable version of Firefox provided by PortableApps Platform.

Regards, Simon

When I click on a website the page is completely blank. Not loading, no error message, just white. It happens on a lot of web pages but not all of them. Youtube is fine but a lot of others dont. there doesnt seem to be any pattern to the type of websites that dont work. sometimes the website will work the first time but if I close the tab and then click on the link again it wont work. It seems like the code of the website has somehow been deleted? (see photos). Ive tried disabling literally every extension I have and reloading the page but nothing happens.

Recently, I've had issues with certain websites that appear to have taken the "www." notation out of their website addresses. Is this an issue involving the Firefox browser, my VPN (Nord), or could it be a combination of both?

Provide me with information to be able to access URLs without "www." notation, or advise me on browser/VPN/both settings to allow access to these "non-www." websites. … (read more)

Firefox opens only to a blank page and does not function what so ever. I've tried several times refreshing it, however, nothing helps. Point of interest is Microsoft Edge won't open either and I am currently using Opera which is working fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Firefox will show that audio is "playing" but no sound will come out, unless I connect a bluetooth speaker or headphones.

Solutions tried (and failed):

1. uninstalling all audio drivers 2. checking if it's a problem with my computer (it's not, every other application plays sound) 3. enabling cookies 4. allowing autoplay video and audio 5. completely uninstalling and clean installing firefox again 6. turning off bluetooth to see if the pairing is the problem 7. cleared cache 8. turned off any adblock and/or extensions whatsoever 9. allowed drm content to play 10. allowed pop-ups 11. reset settings preferences

any help or input is appreciated. Thank you!

Our Firefox sometimes stalls, and if we try to exit, to start fresh, it won't reopen, because there is a firefox process still running. The click to close Firefox has no effect on this background process. Taskmaster sometimes shows firefox processes, which can be closed, but that doesn't get everything. Sometimes a total hard shutdown resolves it.

Hi, for the past couple of weeks firefox is causing the GPU to block firefox when trying to play a youtube short preview by hovering over the short. The screen goes white and then returns and it happens again if you leave the cursor over the short. After a few of these, the message comes up that the GPU (nvidia in this case) acceleration has blocked access to firefox. This will happen every time. The issue doesn't occur in chrome. The issue doesn't occur if firefox is started in troubleshoot mode. If I run in regular mode and manually disable my one extension (keeper) and the two plugins - widevine codec and cisco openh264 codec, the issue will still occur. I have no other add-ins. I have updated firefox and the nvidia drivers to the most current. The gpu is nvidia geforce 940mx with intel hd graphics 620. I am running 64bit windows 10 home on an hp envy laptop with i7 chip. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have a development copy of my website that I run directly from my local disk. I have indexes with links to pages that I load in frames. When the target is another frame, the link will not work. This stopped working when I did the last update to Version 134.0.1 The links work when I load my online version from HostGator.

I inadvertently created a duplicate Other Bookmarks folder at the level of the Bookmarks Toolbar and I'm not able to remove it. In fact, I tried deleting all of the bookmarks under this duplicate to see if that would allow me to delete it, however, that removed all of my bookmarks, including from the original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder and I had to restore them from backup.original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder

Please let me know what I can do to eliminate the duplicated folder without affecting the entries in my original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder.

Thank you,

My computer was slowing down so I opened task manager.

I discovered that Firefox had 40 different things running and was using over a gigabyte of memory. I could not identify what the various things Firefox was running. Or what tab they related to.
It would be useful if Firefox could indicate in tax manager, what is going on and permit me to end task individually rather than shutting down the entire browser.

Meantime, what can I do to keep this from going on?

I have already shut down Firefox several times as well as restarted my computer to no avail.

Also cleared the cache and cookies
