Firefox Community Forum

While working in Firefox with AOL.com email, the color wheel frequently spins in several ways: when I scroll a window to read more, when I close a window, when I click on links, even when I just sweep the cursor to a different position. I've tried AOL.com on a different browser with no problem, and I've cleared cashe and history with no improvement. The hardware/software data follows: MacBook Pro 2021, Apple M1 Max, 32 GB, Running Sequoia 16.2 Firefox 134.0.2 (aarch64)

this browser does nothing but eat and eat recourse. no matter what i do, no action ever stops it from hogging nearing 1/3rd of the resources of my machine all the damn time! And i dont want to hear virus or malware anything. i have swept, checked, and swept again. nothing is ever fucking found. And i do not trust the other browsers. so i guess i am just OFF THE INTERNET

I tried several different web pages from https://www.marketstreetunited.com. They all used to work, but now I just get back a white screen. I am able to access them normally with Google Chrome.

"Is there a way to disable or limit automatic tracking of websites in Firefox? I want to ensure better privacy without affecting my browsing experience. Any tips or extensions that can help?"

This will get you helpful insights from others who might have similar privacy concerns.

Lately more than once, i face pages which does not load at all makes me spend time checking from server side, and its end working normally with Chrome, but not with firefox, for instance i ran a hashivault in ec2 , i am able to access it using chrome, but with firefox it never open giving error:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

please advise, thanks.

On some websites, the ligatures for ff, fi, fl, and others are scrambling with other font rendering behaviors.

I can most clearly test this on the mobile version of wikipedia (normal wikipedia doesn't have this problem since it uses a different font), but there are other sites experiencing the same issues. The issues are as follows:

1. Typing "fl" renders as "ft" instead.
2. Typing "fi" renders as "ff."
3. Typing "ffl" attaches an accent to the preceding character.
4. Typing "ffi" renders as an uncommon "st" ligature.

I have attached images showing each of these rendering issues. Note that the titles are not bugged, because they're being rendered in a Sans Serif font.

I am only getting this issue on Firefox. Other browsers like librewolf do not have this problem. Still, I tried reinstalling Roboto, and it did not solve the issue. I am running Arch Linux on the X window system.
