Firefox Community Forum

Greetings. I have Windows 10 and Firefox for my browser. Has worked very well for many years but now I have a problem with Google search. Normally when I do search on Google and get the results I can click on a link and it will open in a new window(tab). 3 days ago I noticed that when I clicked on the link after search the site would open in the existing window. I checked my settings in Firefox and they appear to the untrained eye to be normal. I did go to the settings in Google and noticed that the "open results in a new window" was disabled. I enabled the option (no save function was available) and did a search again. This time it worked as I had hoped opening in a new window. This worked for a few hours and then once again noticed the problem. I went back to the Google settings and once again it was disabled. I enabled it and then worked fine. It continues to disable this function to open results in a new window after a few searches. Not sure if this problem is with Google or Firefox. I apologize for the length of this question but am trying to provide as much info as possible. I very much would appreciate any assistance regarding this .. Thank you

A couple of weeks ago my Firefox desktop suddenly stopped loading images correctly. This is especially true for image-heavy websites like Tumblr. Images will either not load or only partially load. It takes several refreshes to get even 75% of images to load properly (including Shift+Ctrl+R). My Internet connection and speed are normal. Weirdly, other browsers loaded images fine at first, but now they're laggy, too? They still work better in comparison, though. And the Internet on my iPhone and iPad are perfectly fine.

I've tried all of these multiple times: Restarting my PC, Internet, and router. Disabling certain extensions (especially those for Tumblr and ad blockers). Restarting in Troubleshoot Mode without extensions. Reducing number of tabs.

I tried the different Profile trick I found Googling this issue to death, and it works, but I want to fix my default profile's issues if I can. Oh, and YouTube is insufferable to watch and crashes the browser, but I suspect that might have to do more with what YouTube's trying to do with ad blockers. Especially since Chrome isn't much better on that count (aside from the crashing).

Edit: This issue started occurring around the time I downloaded the last Firefox update before the latest one. I thought installing the latest one might solve the problem, but it didn't. This might just be a coincidence.

Please how do I stop these floating windows above the tabs in Firefox 131.0? They mostly cover up the tabs and make it difficult to impossible to open or close tabs. The floating window only half shows up above he tab. This is just insane and makes using Firefox almost to much to deal with. Every time I get near a tab the floating window appears and tells me what the tab already tells me. Come on this is GARBAGE!

H E L P !!!! PLEASE....

Every time I log on to AXS.com to purchase hockey tickets I click the "get tickets" button and it says "this sale link is not valid".

It does this for any event I try to purchase tickets for.

I do not have this issue with safari.

My LN only has 8 letters, but my street address is long, and I have old addresses w 5+4 zip codes that differ by the last 4. The 'Saved address' popup only shows most of the address, and it's not resizable. (See image )

I have to open each address to see it. Suggestion_--- Make the box wider, auto adjust, or (best) restore the sizing bars.

Thanks!

As the subject says Firefox very suddenly started giving me terrible loading times, despite all the sites working perfectly fine on other devices and browsers. Issue continued with troubleshooting mode, not sure where to go from here. I will open youtube, it won't load about 5 thumbnails, I click on a video and it sets it to 140p and then it still lags the entire video as if I was using 1kbps internet. I tested my wifi connection and its having no problems. Something similar happened when I used to use Opera GX, it was fine for a long time and then one day terrible performance. Please let me know where to go from here. Windows 11 Pro.

After the most recent update of FF on Mac OS Sequoia, suddenly I am no longer able to login to either of my routers, because they require http and FF keeps forcing https.

This results in no login gui but instead an ‘unable to connect’ error message.

I have researched and tried every conceivable fix and nothing works (settings, about:config, cookies, cache, all of it.

I would have expected that simply adding exceptions in settings would work, but it simply doesn’t.

I can login via Safari, so this is clearly a FF issue. It even happens in Safe Mode.

Kind of at my wits end. Anyone have a fix.

What the fuck is with you people? Get this FUCKING "list all tabs" tab OFF your browser FOREVER!

I'm looking around for a way to get rid of it, there is a convoluted way on reddit to supposedly get rid of it, FUCK THAT... YOU REMOVE IT! No one asked for it , no one wants it.... I can narrative my tabs WITH THE FUCKING TABS!!!!!!!!!

Are you hiring there? You need to hire someone like me, ONE person with some common FUCKING sense. Better yet FIRE all these people sitting around with NOTHING to do but add features NO ONE asked for

Win 10 64-bit. Updated to Ffx 131.0. Can't use most of my websites. It's blocking or preventing something. Had to use Chrome to re-do my mother's Walmart grocery order because it wouldn't load the screen to enter her EBT card PIN. Wouldn't log in to the State Farm website to pay bills. Downgrading to v 130. How to know when these problems are fixed?' I had to use Chrome instead. Some websites don't work w/ Ffx, such as California Lifeline (https://californialifeline.com/en/provider_search), but I can live with that. Chrome uses too many resources and slows my laptop to a crawl, and Edge is just... Ick. Can't get rid of it. Will try installing v 130 for now. I have too much info in Ffx to uninstall or reset it.

I and my clients LOVE Mozilla and Ffx, but I, for one, can't afford the time to beta-test like this. Lost the WM grocery pickup window for Mom because of this. Wasted way too much time on too many occasions & had to downgrade over and over. Programming since the 1970s, so I know better: Wait for the screams to die down before upgrading any software. My bad. Thought you should know at least a couple of the problems with the new update. BTW: Logged in, but had to search the web to find out how to post this question. Is there a quick way to report problems?

Why recently when I press enter while on an empty search bar it doesn't take me to the default search engine page that I have set for searching? e.g. I have google as mu default search engine and when I clicked on the empty search bar and pressed enter, google page would open. Can't tell exactly when this stopped working. Couple months ago.

Signed up for an account to sync browsers between machines. The email is received within a couple seconds, but the code is expired when I input it (with about 9 1/2 minutes to spare for the ten minute window).

I am getting the following error message: Platform version 131.0.1 not compatible with miniversion. Please see the screenshot attached for further details. I cannot open firefox due to this error message and I receive this error message every time I try to open the Firefox.

I have no way to log in to my google accounts right now. On any google site, if I hit log-in it redirects me to this page:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies. My firefox browser is up to date. I tried disabling ad blocker and cookie auto-delete. Javascript is enabled and I even tried turning on that feature that prevents page redirects. I'm truly at a loss for what to do.

For the last week every time i open firefox developer edition or a new instance of it the plus button for creating a new tab is moved to the far left of the tabs bar when it normally should be to the right of the latest tab, in the customize menu when i move it it gets moved to the right of the list tabs button when normally it should be to the left of the list tabs button, the plus still appears next to the right of the farthest tab when out of customize mode but when i open a new instance of firefox developer edition it does that again.
