Firefox Support Forum

After recent latest update 99.0.1 Mozilla is slow to start. It seems to hang. I use Google as my homepage. Am Windows 7, 64 bit. I tried refresh and made Mozilla my home page. No difference. Chrome opens fine. Was really disappointed with refresh. It dropped a number of icons for shortcuts on my desktop - ????? which were a real pain to replace because making shortcuts with Mozilla is not possible without changing the User Account Control setting in Control Panel which I was unaware of but found after searching for 1/2 hour. I have no idea when this changed nor why it did on the Mozilla side because I have been using Windows 7 for 12 years. I am sending this using Chrome as my browser.

I can't login to Lastpass with the latest version of Firefox 98.0.1. Neither the Lastpass extension or attempting to Login to Lastpass via the website will open the password vault. I enter my Lastpass email and password login details then authenticate with 2FA and all I get is the spinning wheel of anticipation which times out after 7 or 8 seconds. MS Edge allows Login and I tried Firefox Ver 98.0 on another PC and Lastpass login works so there appears to be an issue with Ver 98.0.1. Running fully patched Win 10 laptop.

The included pic shows the red screen that comes up when I hold shift down when the mail composer is up, this is one of several like errors like a hover over text one and auto save one which crash the page nearly and require reloading of the page, another error is that the close, minimize and maximize buttons are missing when protonmail site tab is both active and maximized, not when minimized, then it is the same as the rest, support and I were not able to resolve this, I picked up some Java replacement extensions and whatnot and that did not work either.

Hi everyone ! I am having trouble in accessing the internet through Firefox. Other browsers on my computer works, only firefox is having this error. I am not sure what may have caused this. I access the internet through WiFi, I don't use VPN and didn't change the DNS settings. I have also updated to the latest version of firefox, but this error still persists. In the screenshot, I was trying to access youtube.com, but this error persists on any other websites that I try to access including mozilla.org. Please let me know how to fix this error. Thank you !

From what I understand firefox now supports subtitles in picture in picture mode but when I use it for youtube it doesn't work. I have enabled the captions in the advanced settings and I have tried it with all my addons disabled.

After update I am no longer able to open a new tab with the "add new tab"button, nor with the Ctrl + T command. A new tab will open if right clicking on a Link on page or search result and selecting/scrolling to "open in new tab". Win 7 (64bit) , FireFox Browser build 100.0(64 bit)

I have recently updated to Firefox 100. I am now getting this message on a page "You are using an outdated browser. Please upgrade your browser." I have confirmed I am up to date.

The "update you browser" has a link to "whatbrowser.org", which I believe is run by that horrid business, Google.

Has anyone struck this problem? Is there a solution?

I have closed Firefox & re-opened, I have rebooted the computer. No change.

Firefox will NOT allow the search facility within Monrovia Plant Nursery to work.. it seems to be stuck in an endless loop. I did find, however, that Microsoft's EDGE works perfectly without any problems. Since I rarely use any internet browser other than Firefox, please HELP!

Why does Firefox now (for the past number of weeks, at least) force me to SAVE every thing I want to read or print? Why cannot I simply read or print something without having to choose a place to save it and name it? I don't always want the file cluttering up my PC once I have read or printed it. Help will be appreciated!

ALSO, probably not related, but maybe? Every time I open Firefox, within a minute, the additional "secure" window to Amazon Smile opens and interrupts what I am doing. Has Amazon taken over the entire world?

Hey whenever I try to load up Youtube it says An error occurred during a connection to www.youtube.com. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).

Solution?

Hello everyone, When starting up Firefox v100 on OSX, two "password required" windows open immediately in a row to ask for my primary password. I type my password in the prompt window on top (appearing last) which works fine and closes. Then the second window (which appeared first) gets behind the firefox main window and I can't neither access the password prompt window nor use the main window. The problem started today after the firefox update on this computer and remains the same if I try to restart Firefox. I had a similar issue on a different computer but it was not systematic and restarting Firefox would be enough to fix the problem.

Please any help ? (I can't share troubleshooting information as I cant click in the window to export it.

Hello,

I have been unable to watch Netflix or any "other" video content using the Firefox browser for the past few weeks. I've been pulling my hair out while working through the help articles, alongside bouts of furious googling - all to no avail.

On Netflix I am getting error code F7701- 1003. Netflix is telling me to use the latest version of Firefox, but I have been checking for new updates almost every day since I noticed this issue. My current version is 100.0 (64-bit) On other website I'm getting the error message "No compatible source was found for this media."

I have followed all of the fixes listed on the following articles, but so far have not been able to fix my problem: Fix common audio and video issues Fix video and audio problems on Firefox for Windows N editions

If there is anything I haven't tried yet, please let me know.

Hello, My GMX MailCheck Email extension/ addon is being blocked by blacking out the screen. This has only occured in the last couple of days; before it worked perfectly. I have been using Mozilla Firefox Browser for about 20 years.

My laptop set-up is practically identical to that of my PC, but the latter doesn't exhibit the same malfunction.

I've tried anything I could, including reinstalling the browser, removing all of my bookmarks (about 10,000) and addressing extensions (Decentraleyes, Default Bookmark Folder, Disable Tab Detach, Flagfox, I don't care about cookies, Keepa, Notifier for Gmail, Privacy Badger, To Google Translate, uBlock Origin, Undo Close Tab, Video DownloadHelper and Youtube's Annotations No More), but not even safe mode improved the situation in the least. Windows Defender also hasn't detected any malware and my web surfing habits are as safe as it gets.

The only deeper data I could gather is that the problem manifests with a progressive, rapid surge in CPU and RAM usage; the former, for example, is saturated to its total 16 GB in a matter of about 20 seconds.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7586 with Windows 11 64 bit; Firefox version is the latest, 100.0, and, by the way, none of the recent updates has improved the situation.

Thanks to anyone who might come up with an educated guess!
