Firefox Support Forum

i have a login to Harris county /toll Road Authority. A few weeks ago, it quit loading. When I click the bookmark, the tab shows motion, but after that, only a blank screen. I have tried the same web site on MS Edge, and it loads without a problem. Tried settings change to no proxy, adding the login to exceptions - no change, it still loads a blank screen. What is going on?

This started a couple of weeks ago. I've cleared my cache, data etc and it still gives me the message " We are unable to access your Account. For further assistance, please call the number on the back of your Card" I have called American Express about it, but it is only a problem with Firefox. I can login on Chrome - which I do not want to use. Help??

I posted a problem yesterday and received an email from Mozilla Support asking me for information. I have NO IDEA how to find my original support problem to add comments - PLEASE let me know HOW to answer the Mozilla Support email (other than this way). Here is what I got in the email:

"I can replicate the issue in 105.0.3 and see that it works in Chrome. see screenshot What version of macOS? What version of Firefox are you running?"

My answers are: macOS Monterey 12.6 (put on a few days ago - upgrade from Big Sur) 105.0.3 (64 bit) - which is marked "Up to date"

So, I have the latest operating system for my MacBook AIr and the latest Firefox Browser and the display issue still exists.

Since the Oct 7 Firefox update (105.0.3 ) for Mac, I've experienced slowdowns and freezes that affect Finder operations as well as Fox. I have a M1 iMac 27" running MacOS12.6. It goes away by when I close and restart Firefox and/or do Mac maintenance with Onyx. Because the effect is progressive, starting mild and getting worse, I think you've got a memory leak. I 1st noticed it in a 30-tab environment. I'll see if it affects my Mac-Air running an earlier MacOS

when hovering over buttons in certain extensions and in the firefox menu, flickers occur, sometimes crashing the compositor if it doesn't have mitigations. tested in Hyprland from the AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprland-git

I keep having display problems with one website in particular. I keep clearing the website cache, and it temporarily rectifies the problem, only to have it return when more data ends up in the website cache. I am clearing this cache several times a day. I tried closing and reopening Firefox, but that does not clear the cache, even though it is set to clear all browsing history upon closing.

I've experienced this about 4 times now over the past few weeks, at seemingly random intervals. This occurs on both my Mac mini and MacBook pro (both with M1), usually after browsing for an hour or more. Possible culprit - this seems to have only started happening after running a Snowflake proxy. Could this be the cause? If not, what else might it be?

I have selected a particular theme (Classic Marine Blue) which I like. However, when I click on an item that has a dropdown menu, the background color of the dropdown is black with white text. I prefer white with black text. For example, this happens with the Library item with the drop downs Bookmarks, History, and Downloads.

I've tried using Firefox Colors, and couldn't solve the problem with a custom theme.

I get it that this happens because the text color on most of the toolbars is white, which apparently triggers Firefox to flip to a black background rather than staying with the original white background.

I don't wish to change the theme. All I want is my black-text on white-background drop down colors back.

Any suggestions? Please help. This is really annoying.

When my system crashes, the session that is restored is from some time back. I was wondering when Firefox stores its session information and is there any way to force an update? How can I insure that the new session is saved?

I need to know how to stop firefox from automatically downloading every PDF file I look at. I’ve tried all of the suggested fixes on Mozilla and various other sites to no avail. None of them work. I’ve tried the following:

Going into settings, downloads, and checking “Always ask you where to save files.” Didn’t work.

Going into settings, applications, and under PDF, choosing “always ask.” Didn’t work.

Going into settings, applications, and under PDF, choosing “open in firefox.” Didn’t work.

Going into about:config and changing browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel from true to false. Didn’t work

None of these fixes stopped firefox from automatically downloading pdf files. I can’t just click on a pdf file to look at it without firefox downloading it.

I’m at wit’s end. My recylcle bin is full of unwanted pdf files.

Please give me a solution that actually works. My version is 105.0.3.

Hello, I am using Firefox (105.0.3) on a Macbook Pro Mac OS 12.6 as a default browser. Every time I click on a link two firefox windows always open up. I can't find anywhere why that issue keeps popping up because I've used firefox nightly and haven't had that issue at all. Any help would be appreciated!

I've tried disabling all my add-ons and no luck. Cleared caches and ups-related cookies. Chrome resolves ups.com to https://www.ups.com/us/en/Home.page, but Firefox won't. If I type that full address it connects fine. Just ups.com gives a site timed out message (see image). Thanks, DougP

Here is a suggestion for you guys.

Instead of using whatever cache files you have for pinned tabs, why not put a pinned tabs section in bookmarks so we don't have to worry about something funny eliminating the tabs. Make it easy on the user and don't force them to look for session files copy/rename, etc. Be smart.

That the firefox auto-downloads cause browser/computer issues effecting usability until you install them is bad enough, but today's automatic download once installed has repeatedly locked up the browser and apparently there is no interest on mozilla's part to hear said feedback? Or is there actually some way to actually report a bug in a firefox update to firefox/mozilla?

I notice that I sometimes have as much as 14 Firefox processes running at the same time, even though I only have one tab open.

E.g. just starting up produces 9 processes, consuming some 43% of memory! I see no way to limit the number of process in Settings->Performance (ALL "solutions" to this problem involve changing the "Content process limit", but that seems to have gone in the latest Firefox version?) What do I do?
