Frequently, I notice on Youtube the UI just freezes entirely for ~1-5 seconds, usually periodically. I've measured it most recently around every 10 seconds or so (manual stopwatch in another tab, so a little faster or slower possible).

When in this state, I can often notice it frequently: on hovering over buttons the UI does not highlight them, the video controls will not appear, or the page will not fill the screen on resize, can't click into search, etc. Basically just full page freeze except for media playback.

It's disappeared and come back a few times, but tends to be more often there than not. This occurs on every page of Youtube. I've tried disabling basically all my extensions and refreshing the page without any change.

I've also captured a performance profile while I was moving around between buttons and observing the issue, as I assume it might help diagnose: https://share.firefox.dev/3Xqz7co

hi totally blind and using a screen reader jaws for windows from http://www.freedomscientific.com and a member of blind information technology specialists and trying to login into my bits-acb.org account, ahve the correct user email and apsswrod, but keeps telling me that the password is incorrect. they use a word press site and word press login site. so can you help, a firefox bug and got firefox 129 on a hp pavillion laptop running windows 11 latest update and firefox 129 latest update, so this is a bug. can the support people fix this. frustrating, and then after about 10 tries then get locked out for 24 hours.

Windows 11, Firefox 129.02

I've done both a refresh and a clean install and the problem persists. Fonts set to "allow site to substitute"

In Google Maps (maps.google.com), the street names and route numbers (graphic) disappear after a second. This happens in both regular and incognito windows, and regardless of zoom level.

Oddly, when I set privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config to True, the street names appear, but route numbers are just color boxes. When set to False, I can see both for a second before they disappear.

When I log in as admin to my wordpress website, firefox gets stuck in an endless reload loop.

Sometimes if I clear the browser history or open a private window, I can successfully log in and load a page - once. The page seems to load normally but there are 409 errors shown for many of the files in the developer tools.

If I reload the page again, it goes back to the endless loop.

This started when I installed a wordpress caching plugin, but the problem is specific to firefox, so I don't really know whether firefox or the plugin is actually responsible.

How could firefox be getting 409 errors when other browsers get normal 200 responses for the same resources?

Why is firefox triggering this reload loop, and is there a way I can stop it?

The following websites: zwift.com https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/login?error=RecaptchaFailed

Cannot login. Running FF version 129.0.2 64bit.

On using Google search, many times it behaves as if I've done nothing...

Communication between Firefox and their server seems dropped. Press enter/search and... nothing

Or do they* want us to use Chrome?

Firefox keeps getting "An error occurred during a connection to redirectlinkway.top. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR" when I try to use Juno email.

Microsoft Edge works fine on Juno email, but I don't and to drop Firefox in favor of Edge. Firefox has all of my bookmarks and all of my passwords.

YouTube will go black at specific moments in the video before fading back to the video/ I have tried disabling hardware acceleration, different browsers, updating Firefox, clearing the cache, using a new profile, and using safe mode. I can't really show an example because it's a video

Since the last update, websites (eg- Pocket) that use Captcha recognition as part of the sign-in proceedure aren't loading the Captcha page. Ive checked other browsers & Captcha sign-in works normally. It means I can't use Firefox to log into websites which use Captcha & have to use an alternative browser instead. I've turned off all add-ons such as privacy badger, uBlock, Trace etc

I have tried watching videos through chrome and other browsers by searching something via duck duck go and watching that video on duck duck go, and it works on other browser so it must be specific to firefox.

Whenever I try to watch a video, in the drop down bar firefox select to mute audio for some reason. I then select 'allow audio and video' and refresh the page but the video is still muted for some reason. This also happens when I try to use other video sites. This has only started to happen recently in the past two days (and yes I am updated to the latest version of firefox).

This was one of our primary suppliers for technology. Contacted them they just said "suck it up, princess".

Recently AWS started doing "human verification" on all VPN traffic to websites they host on their CDN(s). This results in all our Windows 10 PCs running Firefox ESR 102.13.0 going into an endless "Human verification" loop, never able to access the website.

On the Windows 2012 R2 server we have access to the above website works. We see "human verification" for a second or two and then the website is displayed.

So, copied my profile from a Windows 10 PC that doesn't work to the server and it works.

I've tried with tracking protection off. Turned off all adblockers, run in safe mode with all addons disabled, cleared my cache, deleted all cookies Created a new profile and still no go. Turned off Windows firewall, moved hosts file out of the way. Still no go. Also deleted prefs.js to run firefox as completely vanilla without any changed preferences.

I'm not inclined to install malware, so chrome based browsers are not an option. They are actually blocked so I couldn't install them even if I wanted to.

All PCs are on 21H2 3208. Upgrading is not an option at this time. PCs will be upgraded mid-late 2024.

All PCs are required to be connected to VPN at all times as we work from home. Being on call late into the night also means we can't just disconnect. We use NordVPN. Yes I know there is a lot of paranoia about VPNs being the source of all online crime. I just think that's an over-generalization. A convenient excuse.

https://www.scorptec.com.au did a similar thing earlier this year, but at least with them we get a captcha and can get to their site.

Could this be a browser issue, or is this more likely to be a Windows 10 issue? Also updated Windows 10 to latest patch each month and it's been the same for three months.

Specifically I cannot access the PG&E website. FF is suddenly unable to bring up my login page. Several versions ago I started having trouble with another webpage where I webcam is updated every 5 minutes. All other browsers work for these two websites (Edge, Chrome and Brave).

For a while now, websites will refuse to load unless I re-launch the browser or swap between troubleshooting mode and regular. To further clarify, the problem persists with both troubleshooting and regular modes. The website itself does not matter, as it happens with every website. When re-launching the browser the website works fine, but the issue might come back on a refresh. Furthermore, it might take several reboots to load the website. I have tried half a dozen different things from a clean install of Firefox to using a few recommended tweaks to the config.

Okay, so starting a few months ago, ANY time I try to search Google from my Firefox start/home page... Nothing. It just will not go. It just loads forever. 3 out of 5 times it will not do anything. However, I can go to Opera which has all the same plugins and its totally fine. Most times i open a new tab I know confidently that whatever I try to search for is not going to load.

This keeps up Im gonna uninstall Firefox and just start using Opera full time.
