Hi all,

By "extremely" I mean an all-caps extremely.

Some bulletpoints:

  • Tried deleting stored data of affected websites
  • Affects articles on e.g. science.org and pnas.org
  • Tested troubleshooting mode
  • Tested against Edge
  • I noticed that the references (bibliography section) loads one by one, very slowly
  • Hence maybe has to do with the integration of GetFTR by the affected journals
  • Disabling tracking protection didn't work
  • Only thing that "worked" (isn't a solution, really) is disabling all scripting and just using reading mode, using e.g. "||pnas.org^$stylesheet" in uBlock; doing that, the papers load in an instance

Example article: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aeb1157

I first went to bugzilla, but read: "please consider checking Firefox Help instead of creating a bug", plus I don't know what technical stuff to submit.

If it isn't a configuration issue on my end, then I leave it in your good hands!

I want to make the switch from Chrome to FF (to continue using UBO), and a problem I keep running into is media not displaying in Twitter(X)'s DMs while using Private Browsing mode. It only comes up as a gray block that says "Failed to Load" with "Retry" under it, but it never loads. It also asks that I re-enter my DM password every time the page reloads.

Everything works fine in a regular browser tab, the issues only occur in Private Browsing.

I have tried disabling UBO, disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection, and clicking the little shield icon in the URL and turning that off, too. Looking this up really didn't give me any results that actually helped, either.

Help would be much appreciated! This really is the last big hang-up I have to not switch.

Здравствуйте. Я установил сертификаты по инструкции, которая лежит на s.sber.ru/70VQ2B . После этого в мозилле не прогружается полностью окно входа на online.sberbank.ru, не видно содержимого фреймов (сейчас попробую сделать скриншот). В Microsoft Edge работа нормальная. Удаление сертификатов, перезапуск браузера и компьютера не помогли. На других компьютерах ещё не проверял. Посоветуйте, пожалуйста, что можно сделать. Windows 10, Firefox 153.0.3 (64-разрядный).

I have written about this before, but the problems have multiplied. I've been keeping track of all the sites that I can't access in Firefox, and over the last month or so alone, there have been 23 instances of this. Not only not being able to access actual websites, but other connectivity issues. Several examples:

First, my local newspaper e-Edition comes up in a huge format that is unreadable and cannot be made smaller. It works fine on the Brave browser.

Different example: My daughter sent me several different links over a few days on Facebook Messenger to Amazon products that I wanted to buy. Her message is there, but the link/photo isn't. This renders completely normally on Brave.

Some other examples are restaurant menus listed on the restaurant's website, a Word Search puzzle from the L.A. Times, financial websites in which I have accounts. The list is seemingly endless. My last attempt to get support for this problem did not lead to any fix. This all occurs whether or not my adBlockers are turned off.

As a Firefox user since its inception, I don't like having to go to another browser, but the situation has been getting more and more untenable.

I have three email groups on Comcast.net. To view the members of these groups when using Foxfire, I have to put them into the addressee box. However, if I use MS Edge, I have no trouble viewing them by opening the group using the usual prompt. This has been going on for a long time. I am running Windows 11, but don't know the version of Firefox, just that it has been updated several times since the problem began.

When I use Facebook with my Firefox browser the site just has to many issues. The site keeps hanging up and just sort of stalls out when I try to access messages and notifications that I download from the site. I took the suggestion of clearing my cache. That did nothing. Clearing my history didn't make a difference either. Being this problem doesn't happen with Chrome or Safari, it must be a Firefox problem. So, what more can I do to make using Facebook with Firefox a better experience? Sure would appreciate help.

Hello,

I'm troubleshooting a Firefox Desktop issue that I haven't been able to reproduce consistently in other browsers.

I use a browser-based precious metal calculator that performs calculations instantly using JavaScript. The page loads correctly, but after changing several input values and navigating between tabs, Firefox occasionally continues displaying an older calculated result until I perform a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5).

I've been able to reproduce the issue consistently using this scrap calculator scrap calculator. The page loads normally, but Firefox sometimes continues displaying an older calculated value until a hard refresh is performed.

The page itself loads normally, and there are no visible JavaScript errors in the Browser Console. However, the displayed value sometimes does not update immediately after changing the weight or purity inputs.

So far I have tested:

  • Firefox Troubleshoot Mode
  • Disabled all extensions
  • Cleared cache and cookies
  • Tested a new Firefox profile
  • Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site

The issue appears only in Firefox Desktop. Chrome and Edge update the calculation instantly under the same conditions.

Has anyone encountered similar behavior involving JavaScript-driven calculations, form inputs, or page caching in Firefox?

Are there specific Firefox settings or diagnostic tools I should check to determine whether this is related to caching, page state restoration, or another browser feature?

Thank you for any guidance.

Has anyone reported this before? I am working as a contractor for a BigTech company. I am using an online platform/tool of theirs for several years now but after a recent update the work area doesn't show scroll bars anymore. That means I cannot scroll the editor window and can't go beyond the first page. This makes working (and earning money) almost impossible. As even for the tiniest edit I have to download huge tasks which is extremely time-consuming. An inquiry with my manager there indicated that other contractors on firefox experience the same issue. so they consider it a firefox compatibility issue of some kind. They gave me the advice to use Chrome, Edge or Safri instead. Well, I use firefox because I do not want to use Chrome/Edge... Don't know about Safari but my PC is on Windows... Any idea what can cause it and how to resolve the issue?

After clearing my cache, I got logged out of all of my accounts, and I can no longer sign into Google. When I enter my username it gives me a message that says “Couldn’t sign you in: this browser may not be secure. Try using a different browser.” I was able to log in using Chrome so it’s definitely not a device issue. I already tried clearing my cookies and cache again, and disabling all of my browser extensions, but I’m still getting the same message. Any help is appreciated!

Editing to add, I'm using Windows 11 and Firefox version 153.0
