All of a sudden, I can't access several websites through Firefox that I have used for years -- but I CAN access them in other browsers, like Chrome and Safari. Also, Firefox no longer works with my password manager. Until about two weeks ago, I could always autofill login information, but no more.

What gives? I am up to date on my IOS (Sequoia 15.5) and on my version of firefox -- and my password manager app. Superfrustrating. I hate to have to turn to Chrome as my primary browser since I hate Google, but I might end up doing that and just not using Firefox anymore, after like 20 years of having it as my primary browser.

Not sure if this is the correct topic selection but nothing offered above really fits.

I tried to sign into my Allstate.com account today and kept getting error messages.

I called their tech department and they told me that Firefox has been notified a long time ago about this issue but has done nothing about it. I was told to use my email account instead of my user ID to get into my account via Firefox, but that if I do it that way, some functions still won't work on Firefox.

I was told that my Safari browser would work, and it does.

Not sure why Firefox refuses to fix this. This is crazy. I've also had problems signing in some other companies with Firefox recently where it used to work fine. It looks like they are just not keeping up with technology. I have the latest Firefox browser for my Macbook, but as companies update their sites, Firefox is staying behind. I prefer Firefox because of things like uBlock Origin, Enhancer for YouTube, and YouTube Watchmarker which I love, but I've had to use Safari more and more because of this issue.

Exactly how does one let Firefox tech know these things. They don't provide anyway to contact them which doesn't look good.

Hello, for some time now I've been experiencing a number of problems with the latest Firefox updates.

Today I have version 152.0 (64-bit), which was updated again this morning. I restarted my mid-2015 MacBook Pro Retina. I have fiber optic internet, which is very high speed.

I've been using Firefox for over two years.

1) For the past eight days, I've been experiencing many problems with Google Meet; I get freezes, audio and video dropouts...

2) For the past three days, I haven't been able to log in to this website: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/login

3) For about ten days, I've been having trouble logging into my Stripe dashboard, with significant slowness and/or crashes.

4) In Notion, I'm also experiencing significant slowness, with pages taking a long time to load.

In short, several problems that I didn't have at all a month ago or before.

But now it's a nightmare.

I don't have any of these problems in Safari or Google Chrome.

So what's going on in Firefox?

Why is it such a hassle?

Thanks for your feedback.

Content Security policy blocks essential scripts no matter what I do.

It's new Firefox installation, Troubleshoot mode, Enhanced tracking disabled, I'm not on VPN, can log into X.com in another browser just fine.

It's the reason #1 I don't use Firefox. I thought the issue would be fixed but it has been like this for long time.

Yet whatever I do, whatever I turn off this pops up:

Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource (default-src) at https://abs.twimg.com/responsive-web/client-web/bundle.Conversation.721fc4aa.js because it violates the following directive: “default-src 'self'”

The screenshot is from Zen, but it uses Firefox and the issue is the same in Firefox.

macOS 15.6 Firefox 141.0.3 - my preferred browser

I've seen a number of posts regarding this problem since the Firefox 141 update. I've tried a number of suggestions, although my problem seems slightly different.

I can apparently login to reddit OK but when I try to access a subreddit thread, a warning comes up - see image.

I have cleared Firefox site data, cookies, cached files, etc - problem remains.

I have restarted Firefox in Troubleshooting mode - problem remains, so not an extension.

However, https://old.reddit.com has no problems with Firefox, lets me access threads, etc and comment.

No problems accessing reddit with Safari or DuckDuckGo browser.

I just bought my boyfriend a new iMac. We are having trouble loading many sites and platforms using the latest Firefox browser. The list is growing but includes Facebook, Meetup, Wikipedia, chess.com, nytimes.com - in all cases, rather than a login screen, we get an error message or a home page loads with no access to other pages or login area. I've cleared the cache, restarted, tried going directly to the site to log in, but nothing works. Everything is fine when using Chrome, but we prefer Firefox. Is this a conflict in the new Apple OS? Is there a fix?

Hey everyone!

I just noticed that post FF's 150 update, I can no longer drag and drop folders into my DSM window. This has been a non issue for over 6 years and all of a sudden, poof. I did find that you can still to this on Safari, but long term, Mozilla and Synology need to address this. There's already a post on the Synology fourms about it and I've emailed their Support Team to see what they have to day. Posting this here in case anyone has found a workaround in the Config settings pane.

Myself and a colleague who both use Firefox on Mac are experiencing the exact same issues.

1. Table header cells don't show their text, unless we specify a font for the table

I tried to put an example of the HTML here but it was rendered as a table by this page. I'll add some images of the code instead to show it.

In Firefox the Header cells are not visible, but in Chrome the text appears correctly.

If we add CSS like...

<style> table { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } </style>

...in the header then the missing text in the THs appears.


2. Other font issues

The Wave accessibility extension has text that doesn't appear and throw errors like this in the console...

downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: "Open Sans" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:3) source: moz-extension://b86260c9-33f6-4529-b12f-a101d8607bd4/styles/open-sans-v17-latin-regular.woff

These only occur on Firefox on our Macs. Fine on PC and other browsers on the Macs.

We tried a whole series of tweaks to settings to try fix this.


I have tried resetting Firefox and doing a fresh install but nothing fixes either issue. Are these known issues with recent Firefox releases on Mac?

Hi,

when I try to access the Gallery photos page on OneDrive, especially in the 'For you' section, I get a gray screen and nothing happens. When I check the console, it shows the issues I've captured in the screenshot. I tried this on Mac and Ubuntu with a fresh profile and a clear internet connection.

I run a mac mini with OS X Catalina. I keep to that operating system as a number of my work apps work better. I am on the latest version of Firefox (64 bit) 144.0

In the last couple of years I have found webforms on Firefox seem to omit links or progress buttons like CONTINUE. When I check with the issuer or my colleagues I find they all use CHROME.

I have wasted a great deal of time on what I would have thought is a Minimum requirement issue.

Please give me one reason why I should stay with Firefox and not change to Chrome

The errors I get are kind of all over the place though. I've completely deleted and reinstalled Firefox, and removed all extensions too.

It will loop to the login screen over and over, or I get the message 'An error has happened, try again later'...

I used the browser console and didn't get anything that seemed usable. I use Strava nearly every day so I'm having to use Safari. And this issue is on all of the mac and Windows systems I use. 'Troubleshooting Mode' didn't work either.

My stockbroker has commented as follows, after I complained of a problem with getting their website to operate correctly:"’m informed that most browsers use a common "engine" called Chromium, which was created by Google and is effectively Chrome. So no matter what browser you are using, if it's powered by Chromium you're effectively using Chrome, and our website/charts should work as designed. Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, and Opera all fall into this category. However, I’m afraid that Firefox does not."

I have an account with Songsterr. It's a music tabs site.

I moved over to Firefox as my primary browser relatively recently & I've noticed that the captions in Songsterr are all messed up. I've been on to Songsterr about it & they cannot solve it but, on a whim, I checked Songsterr in Safari & everything appears normal so I'm going to assume for the moment that this is a firefox related issue.

I've added 4 screenshots. The first two are from Safari & show how the captions should appear. The second two are from Firefox & you can see that it's all messed up.

I found an article on Reddit that may be related but I wanted to check here first & see if any of you could shed any light.
