Forum Bashkësie Firefox

I had to rebuild my Windows 11 this week. Since installing Firefox, streaming videos in Youtube are distorted with significant tiling during the first few seconds. The video has to be rewound manually to see the beginning unhindered, sometimes rewound several times because the tiling still happens, albeit less so with each rewind. I had to rebuild the Windows 11 because some mysterious problem, possibly from a Windows update a couple of months ago, caused a growling hardware contention noise during video or video games that would cycle through several harmonic levels and sometimes move across the stereo plane. Just before the rebuild it became continuous and untennable. The rebuild did not get rid of that problem completely, but there have only been a couple of tiny hardware contention noises since then. This tiling of Youtube video is brand new. The system is pretty much the same now as it was before the rebuild. I still have the old OS on another internal drive so it would be possible to compare files. I just want to know why all of a sudden Firefox is showing this momentary tiling in Youtube. I tried Chrome and there was no titling. Thanks for your time.

Watching Netflix on a monitor that doesn't have GeForce Replay enabled will cause the replay feature to freeze, making it difficult to watch Netflix while playing a game. Even if you want to capture and record interesting scenes while playing a game, the replay function stops as soon as you turn on Netflix, and you have to manually turn it back on, which is inconvenient. They say disabling DRM will fix this, but that makes Netflix unavailable, so there's no solution. Should I switch to a different browser?

I have been a Firefox user pretty much since it was first released, raved about it to anyone who would listen & generally encouraged friends etc. to switch.

However, since the last update, now on 141.0 64 bit on Windows 11, I find myself using my backup browser -Opera - more & more, even though generally I have always considered it a much lesser browser than Firefox.

Two main reasons for this:

1. Firefox is set to open links in a new Tab - when I click on a link the Tab opens, the little circle-y thing goes round & round for 10-30 seconds, & then - absolutely nothing, just a blank Tab. If I close the Tab before it's finished 'loading' & try the link again - the same thing happens. If I wait till it's finished 'loading' &try the link again it will open th enew Tab & load the page successfully. This doesn't happen every time but definitely over 50% of the time.

2. When using YouTube, search pages will start to load the video thumbnails but then stop after a variable number - the thumbnail titles & link are visible & usable but where the thumbnail should be is just a placeholder. This happens practically all the time & requires multiple page reloads to correct it, & even that doesn't work sometimes.

3. I've had to use Opera to post this as Firefox would not let me access my Mozilla account

I have not added any new extensions since that last upgrade.

Neither of these issues arise when I use Opera so it's obviously not a connectivity or bandwith issue.

I'd be grateful if these issues could be corrected as Opera does not have all the functionality that I like in Firefox but it also doesn't drive me crazy with these issues.

Thanks

While using the StudyStream website on Mozilla Firefox, I’m experiencing significant performance issues when multiple users have their cameras turned on.

Symptoms include:

   Real-time video lags and stutters noticeably.

   Video feeds take several seconds to load or appear.

   The stream is not smooth, making the experience frustrating during group sessions.

Additional Notes:

   This issue only occurs on Firefox. The same website works smoothly with no noticeable lag on other browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

   My Firefox is updated to the latest version.

   The problem persists even after disabling extensions and trying in a private window.

It appears that Firefox may be struggling with handling multiple simultaneous video streams on this specific site. Any guidance or fixes would be appreciated.

I’m writing to report a persistent issue I've been facing with Firefox on desktop when accessing the Pinterest website.

Each time I open Pinterest in Firefox, it loads in what looks like a mobile layout, as if it were being viewed on a phone. In this view, images don’t load properly (they're often misaligned or appear in incorrect sizes), and overall usability is significantly reduced.

I’m using Firefox on macOS, and this issue has been happening consistently on this setup. The only way I’ve found to temporarily fix it is to clear the browser cache and cookies. Once I do that, Pinterest loads in the correct desktop layout again. However, the problem returns the next day, and I’m forced to repeat the process—clearing data, logging in again, etc., which is quite frustrating.

Notably, this issue does not occur in Chrome under the same conditions. It appears to be specific to Firefox.

Could you please advise if this might be a known bug, or if there’s any recommended fix or setting I can adjust to prevent this from happening? I’d appreciate any guidance or insights.

Specifically: for a website (apps.availity.com), I am not able to get Mozilla to save data entered into form fields. I enter many insurance claims on this site and it speeds up the workflow immensely if the fields get saved.

Form fields seem to be saving correctly on other websites, but not the one I need. Here are things I have done to troubleshoot:

-In privacy and settings, I had history to its default setting "remember history," form fields were not saving so I switched this to :"use custom settings for history" and ensured that "remember search and form history" is checked. -"Clear history when Firefox closes" is unchecked. But just in case, I checked it in order to get access to the advanced setting for this field, made sure "clear form history" was not checked, then I unchecked the "clear history" option altogether again. -I added a Cookie exception to allow cookies for this website, just in case. -When logged in to the website, I clicked the shield icon to the left of the URL and turned off 'enhanced tracking protection.'

About general setup: -Mozilla Firefox is up to date. -Running Windows 11 Home 64 bit, windows is up to date.

I have this functionality in Chrome for this website, but somehow Chrome has stopped working well (for other reasons) on various websites little by little while Firefox remains functional. I am trying to simply shift over to Firefox completely but really need to iron out this form field issue.

TIA.

I'm now finding multiple sites, notably my financial institution, which are giving me grief with the "cookie" question. I don't mind selecting my cookie preferences when I log on to a site....ONCE. But I am getting the cookie question with each page I go to on the site. I've called my bank and they tell me they are getting the same complaint from other customers and it's because I'm using Firefox. They are not seeing this problem with other supported browsers and of course their solution is to switch to Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, which is NOT a solution and which I will never do,

Is anyone else here having this problem? If so, is their a solution?

Thank you

It's mostly in the title. Ever since I switched to Firefox I noticed that while the videos play just fine, if I scroll down to the comments or to search for another video on the sidebar Firefox suddenly becomes extremely laggy and takes a good few minutes to actually load anything. Is there any way to fix this? (My Firefox is up to date and the only extensions I'm running are uBlock and Tampermonkey, but there aren't any scripts running through it specifically for YouTube)

Hello,

I have an account at the EU webgate portal and when I try to open the login screen I get a blank screen, when I try to open it from Firefox on OpenIndiana. Of course, there is no problem when I try to open this page when using Firefox in Windows or Android. The interesting thing is that when I enter the following words to google search

EU webgate login

the first result is the following one

EU Login - server inaccessibility - European Commission

However, when I try the same thing suing Firefox in my smartphone the first result is

My account on EU Login

I really do not understand what is going on! Can you please help me solve this problem?

Regards,

Apostolos Syropoulos

128.13.0esr This is probably a huge long shot I know, because every forum etc on the internet has nothing that ever helps with this, but as it only happens in FF I thought it was worth a try.

Yesterday I changed my Privacy settings to 'delete cookies when FF is closed' and added a few exceptions. Then this Google Search reCaptcha thing started. Changed it back to what it was, basically the default setting there, but it was still happening. It only happens in FF [doesn't happen with Edge] and only on one pc, all other pc's and phones in the house are fine [all using the same network, router etc]. So I uninstalled FF altogether, reinstalled it...this thing was still happening regardless of what settings I use re cookies etc. If I actually complete the super annoying reCaptcha it goes away for about 1 or 2 searches, then comes back.

If I'm signed in to a Google account it doesn't happen.

I even did a fresh Windows install [which actually fixed this the other time this was happening about 6 months ago] but that didn't fix it this time. There is no malware, no VPN, no extensions that I haven't been using for years. Nothing that could ever possibly be considered 'bot-like' behaviour.

Thanks

On certain web pages, there are scrollable containers (e.g., prompt cards in a prompt library) where the content overflows and should be scrollable with the mouse wheel when hovered. This works as expected in Chrome, Brave, and Edge browsers, but in Firefox, the mouse wheel does not scroll the content inside the container. This makes it impossible to access content that extends below the visible area.

Steps to Reproduce:

   Go to a page with a scrollable container (e.g., a prompt library with cards that have overflow content).

   Hover the mouse over the container.

   Try to scroll using the mouse wheel.

Expected Result: The content inside the container should scroll up or down.

Actual Result: Nothing happens; the content does not scroll.

Tested on:

   Firefox version: 141.0

   OS: Windows 10 and Also Linux Fadora

Works as expected on:

   Chrome

   Brave

   Edge

bold textIs Firefox blocking access to the following website? https://seaware.azamara.com/touchb2c/#/booking-search-route. I get a message that Firefox cannot open this site. Website will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. How do I fix this situation?

hi there.

this is just to flag up that the browser is freezing up when I try to edit my website on the adobe portfolio web application.

I searched around, saw some people complaining of the same, but this seems to be a niche issue for sure.

windows 11.

thanks for your time!

All of a sudden, I can't access several websites through Firefox that I have used for years -- but I CAN access them in other browsers, like Chrome and Safari. Also, Firefox no longer works with my password manager. Until about two weeks ago, I could always autofill login information, but no more.

What gives? I am up to date on my IOS (Sequoia 15.5) and on my version of firefox -- and my password manager app. Superfrustrating. I hate to have to turn to Chrome as my primary browser since I hate Google, but I might end up doing that and just not using Firefox anymore, after like 20 years of having it as my primary browser.

This has been happening for a long time now.

While using Google Sheets, the slightest movement of the mouse wheel, either up or down, takes you to last line of the sheet and then you can no longer move using the wheel.

It only happens with Firefox; it works normally in other browsers.

This is super annoying if you have to work with it all day.

Please fix.

Thanks.

Myself and a colleague who both use Firefox on Mac are experiencing the exact same issues.

1. Table header cells don't show their text, unless we specify a font for the table

I tried to put an example of the HTML here but it was rendered as a table by this page. I'll add some images of the code instead to show it.

In Firefox the Header cells are not visible, but in Chrome the text appears correctly.

If we add CSS like...

<style> table { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } </style>

...in the header then the missing text in the THs appears.

2. Other font issues

The Wave accessibility extension has text that doesn't appear and throw errors like this in the console...

downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: "Open Sans" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:3) source: moz-extension://b86260c9-33f6-4529-b12f-a101d8607bd4/styles/open-sans-v17-latin-regular.woff

These only occur on Firefox on our Macs. Fine on PC and other browsers on the Macs.

We tried a whole series of tweaks to settings to try fix this.

I have tried resetting Firefox and doing a fresh install but nothing fixes either issue. Are these known issues with recent Firefox releases on Mac?

Firefox is hindering the website of procore. What worked last month is not working this month and I am finding myself monthly trying to find a workaround to get sites to work properly.
