Firefox Support Forum

Youtube has this issue the most. On any other browser YouTube works fine; however, on firefox, videos sutter, play at a very low FPS and if I try to interact with the page like pause the video, it takes somewhere between 5 to 20 seconds for the site to respond and actually pause the video.

This happens on other websites as well that have interactive features

Additionally, when on sites like discord or LinkedIn, if a video starts playing and I pause it the audio will continue playing and loop and overlap over itself. The only way it will stop is if I refresh the site.

I have tried updating my video drivers, reinstalling them, changing all the settings possible on my computer to make it work but nothing yet. Thanks for the help.

In the last 4 days Firefox is constantly freezing on the Tile Pages of multiple streaming sites. It becomes non-responsive, and won't let me reload or use the Home button. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration and clearing the cache and I still have the same issue.

When DNS over HTTPS is not enabled in Firefox and I set network.dnsCacheExpiration to 600 seconds, evidence from about:networking#dns shows that the minimum DNS cache expiration time is indeed 600 seconds. However, when I enable DNS over HTTPS and set network.dnsCacheExpiration to 600 seconds, the network.dnsCacheExpiration setting seems to be ignored. New DNS cache entries are able to have far less than 600 seconds to expiry. Why is network.dnsCacheExpiration ignored when DNS over HTTPS is enabled? Could this be a bug in Firefox?

I am using Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04 (current release 111.0, but the problem has occured over the last two releases). I like to open the individual page from a Youtube playlist so that if I get distracted, I won't lose my place. I do this either when disconnected from the internet or using the "work offline" feature. Previously firefox would show either "Problem loading page" or "Serve not found," but now it keeps trying to load youtube which sucks up time, cpu, and memory.

These are pages that I have never been to before so there should be no record in history, but even so I have tried clearing my history and this did not help. I have tried a bunch of other sites, but Youtube is the only site that I have seen this behavior on. Attached is an example (The google page and the first youtube tab were loaded online). The shown youtube tab (second tab) and a random webpage from google (last tab) show this behavior.

Could you please help me.

Ever since the update Firefox has been taking at least 10-15 minutes to load. The when it does finally load, I can't always get a webpage to load...at least not for another 10 minutes.

I restarted the computer, cleared the cache and cookies, disabled all extensions...nothing helped. This happened the last time Firefox updated. At the time I just stopped System Mechanic from interfering and it worked easily again. This time it isn't System Mechanic, it doesn't seem to be the extensions....what now?

None of my bookmark functionality is working. I have restarted Firefox and cleaned out all extensions etc and so doing have discovered it's only when I reinstall Last Pass that the functionality stops.

Is there any known fix for this, or can I simply no longer use both Firefox and Last Pass together?

Thanks

Hi, using firefox for a long time. 2-3 days ago FF started to start slow. If I open FF, it shows me FF GUI without any icons and after 3-5 seconds it starts completely.

Tried to disable all extensions (bitwarden, ublock, easy screenshot, feedbro), same result. Tried to clear cache, cookies, history - same result. At the end I made a reset of firefox via menu, same result. FF is latest version.

See screenshot - this is what I see after start firefox (for about 3-5 seconds) Any idea / fix please?

When booting my laptop Firefox appears in Task Manager as 80%+ CPU usage causing my laptops fans to spin at high speed. This is before I have started Firefox. This started happening after the latest Firefox update 111.0.1.

Multiple tabs crash at what seems like around a particular time of the day.

I've tried resistalling macOS (and of course in the process reinstalling Firefox.

After the tabs crash, if I exit Firefox, it crashes on Exit too. I must have submitted crash reports one exit over a dozen times now.

I'm including the info from about:crashes so hopefully I can get some insight in to what is causing this:

Amazon and YouTube movie pages have been freeezing up since the most recent Windows 10 update. I have to switch to Chrome to watch movies. They freeze on their main pages and don't necessarily have to have a movie playing.

So I have this extremely annoying issue. Almost every time I open Firefox on my system, all of my add-ons get disabled. There is no pattern to when it will happen either. Sometimes I can open it 2 or three time without a problem, other times its every single time, and to top it off all of my saved logins randomly disappear too, as well as some of the settings (namely search bar settings). A simple closing and reopening of Firefox restores the login info, but not the settings. I’ve tried making a new profile, didn’t work. Tired uninstalling Firefox and starting clean, still didn’t work. I’ve checked all my settings, and tried deleting the extensions data in the Mozilla folder. Nothing seams to work, and I don’t have a clue why this keeps happening. I’ve been using Firefox since it was still in beta, and have never had this kind of problem before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox 111.0

Hi guys! Using Mozilla on my computer became a nightmare just because of a simple problem - after recent update Firefox suddenly stopped to autocomplete logins (e.g. to e-mail etc.). Which means that now I have do it manually every time... The worst part here is that:

1. privacy settings in Mozilla are correct (autocomplete login forms is ON) 2. I haven't changed anything else or added any new software

It all started just 2 days ago after last Mozilla's update. From what I see is that Mozilla probably added new module - enhanced tracking protection however I tried all 3 options there and any of them allows to remember and autocomplete login forms.

Anyway you can help me? Cheers!

Looking at my Task manager, when I open Firefox it started opening multiple "Firefox" apps every few seconds until eventually about 85% of my memory is used up (Total of 16MB) If I close some of them I get the usage down to 10% but then it starts opening up more apps all over again. I only have the start page, Google, open! I can't use Firefox like this how can I get it to start normally?

When I use firefox, the graphics on the site look bad and slow down. If I use Microsoft Edge on the same PC, then everything works fine. The advice to enable hardware acceleration did not help and the drivers for my video card (nVidea GTX 1080) are new. Is it possible to solve the problem somehow?

For the past three days my firefox has been constantly crashing. I'm losing points in the games I play because when it restores, it takes me back to the very start of the game I was playing wiping all my hard earned scores out. It started after I uninstalled the latest update, which I did because I didn't like a lot of the tweaks and changes you made. It crashed so often I gave in and reinstalled the latest update - which seemed to fix it until I started my pc up next time I went online. It just keeps crashing for hours to the point where I give up and turn my pc off. The ONLY thing I have changed is the update of your product. I always have my pc set up the same way so nothing is different.

Hello, Since a couple of days that I can't drag and drop files from download list window in Firefox anymore. Can anyone help me on this one? Thank you so much in advance.

Firefox 111.0 (64-bit) Ventura 13.2.1

Having some issues getting the Amazon.com website to load correctly - seeing lots of blue underlined words and most images won't show up at all. Already tried all the usual steps - clearing cookies, cache and logins. Also rebooted - problem persists. Other browsers (Chrome or Edge) do not seem to have the same issue. Is this a known glitch and/or is there something I can do on my end to fix it?
