When I try to transfer money from my bank account using the BACS system the screen goes blank when I have to confirm the transfer. I did this successfully for years. I spoke to the bank and they say this is a fault with the Firefox browser. When I change to Microsoft Edge browser then everything works well.

When searching for any type of URL or page on Firefox, unexpected things have been occurring. The most common action is that the Recent Browsing page opens up instead of the page I was seeking. I can get to that page by clicking the tab, but it obviously should not be happening. Sometimes, I only see a completely blank page in white or gray. Again, I can get to the page by clicking the tab. A momentary blink occurs regularly when going to a new page.

I have cleaned up any unused or unimportant extensions and add-ons, since that was suggested as one cause. So far I have not taken a suggestion to clear all cookies and cache because of all the beneficial browsing that deletes. I have also not totally deleted the Firefox app because I am not sure a reinstall of all of my bookmarks, the homescreen with my 32 preset URLs, etc. will come back.

So I am looking for advice on what steps I should take to resolve this, in order of first taking the least destructive and problematic actions. Thanks, Joe

The problem is illustrated in the first image attached: Google Maps shows no image, just solid black. This does not occur in browsers other than Firefox.

After restarting my laptop, the same problem persists, but on first going to the Google Maps website the usual image of my neighborhood flashes, then disappears to be replaced by the black.

The second attached image shows four possible causes and fixes offered by Google AI. I tried them all, and nothing made any difference. This image also shows that the thumbnail image appears when my cursor hovers over the tab in which Maps is open.

The only thing out of the ordinary I did before this problem occurred was browsing the Firefox Extensions on advice of Google AI to turn off the intrusive "Genius" AI pop-ups, but I didn't discover anything relevant and I don't think I made any changes.

I'd welcome any suggestions for what to try next,

Hello Mozilla Support,

I’m experiencing an issue with YouTube watch history specifically in Mozilla Firefox.

I am signed in to my YouTube account, and when I watch videos in Firefox, those videos are not being added to my YouTube watch history. However, the same or any other videos I watch on other browsers and on other devices are correctly appearing in my YouTube history.

This appears to be specific to YouTube usage in Firefox.

Could you please investigate whether there is a Firefox-specific issue affecting YouTube watch-history registration, such as cookies, site data, privacy settings, or compatibility with YouTube?

Details:

   Browser: Mozilla Firefox
   Account: Signed in to YouTube
   Issue: Videos watched in Firefox do not appear in YouTube watch history
   Other browsers/devices: YouTube history works normally
   Reproducible: Yes, when watching videos through Firefox

Please let me know if there are any Firefox settings, troubleshooting steps, or diagnostic information you need from me to investigate this further.

Thank you.

I'm encountering some UI errors with the last couple updates. With an update from a couple weeks ago, I noticed when viewing PDFs in the browser, random characters would be invisible, and in Google Sheets I'd notice some cells appeared blank, though selecting them showed that there was text inside. I also noticed disappearing text in a Google Doc I was working on. Now with the update that was just released today (154.0) all PDFs, and entire screens in Sheets and Docs, and other random graphic elements, are showing up as just flat black (see attached screenshot). My job involves working with spreadsheets and PDFs a lot so this is severely impacting my workflow, and I am reluctantly working in a different browser today.

I did a browser refresh, and then I uninstalled and re-installed, and that didn't help anything. What should I try next?

I should note I am using Firefox on Windows 11. I am not experiencing any issues with Firefox on iOS or Mac OS.

Edit: I was able to troubleshoot and fix this by disabling hardware acceleration under performance settings. Problem solved!
