I'm not sure why, but starting a couple of days ago Firefox will not load a couple (there may be others) of my regularly used sites - the page just 'hangs' or only partially loads:

facebook.com theguardian.com

These are on my Windows 11 PC which I use 95% of the time. They load fine on my Windows 10 laptop which has the identical Firefox settings (they are Synced) with the same Extensions.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox on my PC to see if this helps, but the issue remains.

The websites load fine using Chrome on my PC.

Can anyone offer any thoughts as to why this is happeneing and offer any solutions?

145 not processing images or graphics

I've been using Firefox for maybe 20 years but the upgrade to 145 has completely floored me. I run Windows 11 and up to now I've had no problems with Firefox on it.

Alas, since the 145 upgrade I've found that any site that involves static or video imagery that it simply won't load the graphics. It just indicates it is trying to load it indefinitely. If it ever completes, it does so with multiple errors. Experience suggests that it is primarily but not exclusively a graphics problem. Some text sites won't load either.

I've tried troubleshooting, refreshing and even doing a fresh install with a new profile but none of this makes any difference. As a result, after those 20 years I've had to give up on Firefox altogether.

I've no faith that there will ever be a fix that allows me to go back to Firefox. This is sad because I'm used to Firefox and the user UI suits my preferences and experience. Alas, no more. It has simply become unusable for me.

I use Arcgis quite a bit for property info and for the last several months, it either won't fully load or has constant freezes when doing anything. It also freezes other windows I have open and most the time when I shut down those windows and start FireFox again, my home screen (Start Page) won't load? I have to dump history/cookies and sometimes flush dns. I contacted ArcGis and they say it works fine on their end. So I suspect FireFox is the issue.

I downloaded the Opera browser last night and it has no problems with this site. I won't use chrome or edge.

Any help figuring out what's going on? I have changed no settings, no vpn, no private browsing either. It seems with each FireFox update, my issues get worse?

Win 10 on desktop. FF version 145.0.1 the site in question https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ba70b3d86f5e4bbeb7582591f3dde16a/

Recently several sites, including Zoom.us and Genesis.com, no longer work in Firefox on my PC running Windows 11. For example, when I log into Zoom spinning wheel indicating the system is working keeps spinning and never lets me enter my password. Yet if I use Edge everything works as it should. I really want to be able to keep using Firefox as my default browser.

I have an HP AIO w/Win 11 and use Firefox for my browser. Last week I did a reset and since then when I try to use a link in Facebook it won't load. All I get is a greyed-out screen with a pulsating circle. The site the link is programmed to go to is faintly visible behind the greyed out screen. No problems if I use Google. What do I have to do to get Firefox to recognize, and open, legitimate links?

Hello all...

This is driving me crazy. I have the latest version Firefox 145 installed, however, this morning I discovered that while trying to log in to various banks for my credit cards, I've been getting "inability to login" messages, or a blank page comes up. Even when I try to change passwords (which I really didn't need to do), I keep getting denied.

I cleared all of my cache, but that does no good whatsoever. This the worst set of bugs with Firefox that I've ever experienced.

Yet, when I use Microsoft Edge to log into all of those sites, there are NO issues whatsoever.

What gives here - what went wrong?

I have performed every suggested check that comes up when I put this question to the big wide web,but cannot find the solution. Castanet.net will load, but not open any secondary sites on windows 11,but it will on Chrome on my PC. My laptop with windows 10 has no issue. This has been going on for months and I am ready to just "fire" firefox for good.

On Facebook I get posts from DoubleDown casino that have internal links to acquire free credits/points. When I click on the link, DoubleDown begins to open but goes "grey" and shows a rotating/pulsating circle but never opens. Any idea why? What do I need to do to get the links to open. No problem with Google.

Last night my machine updated itself but now I cannot access Facebook as it says I am using a browser version not supported by FB. I checked and my Firefox browser is indeed up to date. Have I been hacked or what?! Thanks. Geoff
