Firefox Support Forum

Hi there, I know I'm not the only one with this issue. But I have yet to find an answer on all the other threads so maybe if I create a new one something will happen.

I have been using firefox without issue for years. However, in the past year, firefox has started crashing repeatedly on my Mac. I have updated both firefox and the mac itself several times since the issue first presented itself and yet the problem still persists.

I am running the latest version of both the OS and firefox and the program still crashes. In fact it did so just a few minutes ago and destroyed a good hours work that cannot be recovered.

I am hoping this issue will get some kind of response soon before I am forced to migrate my devices to a new browser in order to get a stable experience.

It is a daily event that you are sending out update notices 2 times a day, ALMOST EVERY DAY, and yet your site is still not functioning on showing videos on the Bring a Trailer website, while there is no such issue with Google, Safari and Outlook.

With all your updates and the associated daily hounding even though I update just to get you off my back, you still have problems that far exceed Chrome. Stop trying to tell us what to do!

Use your time in doing "overkill" daily updates to fix your browser so it works and handles the simplest of tasks.

CUT THE DAMN DAILY UPDATES -0 IT IS OBNOXIOUS, CONTROLLING AND WORTHLESS.

I posted this before. My OP: == I have the latest Firefox, and use Little snitch always. Constantly, i get popups from LS, asking for FF to connect to sites that i have used previously. Many, and no apparent pattern. Please. How can i shut off this 'function' of FF pre-connecting, or whatever it is? Anyone else getting this? [link to old post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1348091#answer-1437370] == I am reposting, because the old one was archived, and i am still experiencing this problem. I don't know if it's a problem with FF itself. Is there a way i could check? I have addons, and i have shut them off, singly and in groups, and i always still get LS popups. My addons: AdBlocker Ultimate AdBlocker for YouTube Default Bookmark Folder Firefox Multi-Account Containers Ghostery Google analytics opt-out LocalCDN NoScript Privacy Badger uBlock Origin Laser Cat Again, all of these i have shut off at various times, and still get wanting to connect messages.

Any advice, ideas, thoughts, methods, directions would be very welcome!

This is scaring me. Why do I have to surrender so much control to use. I keep getting a popup which says, "Take control of your person data!......Block most trackers as you browse.....Add DuckduckGo to firefox.

AND THEN it looks as if you want to take total control of my computer!

Why do you want so much control over my computer??

Please explain.

I've just spent over an hour trying to learn fully how to organise bookmarks: I'm used to using computers; I'm used to Firefox; I'm not stupid; I though to give it one last try.

I bloody give up!!

Anyone else as frustrated as me???

I am unable to login to my Network Solutions email using my FIREFOX browser (which is my "go to" browser). I can login on MICROSOFT EDGE but I do all my personal and business activity on FIREFOX.

To start out with i have cleared my cache multiple times, tried every single security setting possible in between clearing, and have whitelisted all relevant sites. The problem is that every time I open a tumblr blog or a specific post the website acts like i am logged out. this only happens on firefox. I am logged in, when i click the log in prompt, as shown in my attachment it goes right to the front page with me logged in.

The ONLY workaround for this that i have found, and i cannot use this every time on every blog so I refuse to call it a solution in any way shape or form, is to turn off the enhanced protection for that particular blog (and it works on a blog by blog basis NOT site-wide so i have to do this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.), then CLICK on the in-dash preview for the blog in my dashboard (not possible if i am trying to look at a sent link or any blog that i didnt find through my dash) and THEN open the link. turning off protection AND previewing the blog are both necessary or this doesnt work. if i just whitelist the blog's url and refresh nothing happens, not even if i clear the cache 50 times and turn off every security setting. if i have every security setting on and take these steps it does work, so its not my personal settings and its NOT THE CACHE

Id very much like the website to function as intended and not be broken because this is a game breaker for me using firefox. i love this browser but i use tumblr every day and if this doesnt get fixed ill have to switch.

Hello,

i have a problem with Rightmove.co.uk webpages. On the webpage where you can see house plans, I zoom into the plan, and the plan just cannot be moved anymore and zoomed as well. I entered Firefox in troubleshooting mode without any extensions enabled and the same issue happened still. I tested the Brave and Chrome, no problems there. I tested Firefox latest version and also the ESR version, both had the same issue. One of the webpage links is below that just freezes, but the same issue happens with all sites when you want to see house plans. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/125021075#/floorplan?activePlan=1&channel=RES_BUY Please help me.

Thank you. itaavo

Hi.

After some time of trial and error I finally came to the conclusion that having the 'youtube.com' tab and 'antenaplay.ro' (tv broadcast app) tabs opened prevents my computer from auto-entering sleep mode. Even if the streams on the 2 tabs are paused.

I don't have this issue on Chrome, I can leave the tabs opened there and my PC can enter sleep mode no problem. The thing is I want to keep using Mozilla because I got used to it and because it's not based on Chromium.

If you need more information just say so. Thanks for the help in advance! Peter.

I am having trouble saving the correct website address for a specific login. The correct address I am trying to save is: https://bcbsfepvision.com/portal/ The address is automatically shortened to: https://bcbsfepvision.com when I save the login info. The problem is that when I navigate to "https://bcbsfepvision.com/portal/," the login/password info is not available, and I must type it in myself.

Is there a fix or workaround?

Thanx

I run my own DNS and its managed locally. And while I can move it back manually, I keep finding the setting changed. So I need to find out how I can get control of my machines, OR I have to yank FF from every machine at the house. What can I do to force the machines to use MY DNS and not bypass the security I have put in place.

Having to go to each machine and do this weekly is not a good idea.
