Hi - have been having an issue since 128 where I can't select items in certain menus in Firefox with the mouse. Each time I open Firefox, it works once. Subsequently, the focus in the menu is completely off from where I put my mouse, and I can't click anything. (I would upload a video, but there doesn't seem to be a way). An example of the behavior is: -hamburger menu open. Mouse is on 'Translate page', but focus is on 'save page as'.

• This happens with both the trackpad and the mouse.
• I don't experience this issue with other applications.
• I can navigate some of the menu options with the keyboard. For example, in the Bookmark menu I can select Save, but not Remove bookmark.
• I don't have any issue with the main nav bar (File, Edit, etc)

This applies to for example: Save bookmarks (cmd+d), Hamburger Menu, Update reminders, and the new Translation dialog (have attached screenshots of some affected items). I can't inspect them to see if they are all the same component that is causing the issue, because they disappear if you choose Inspect. (I'm unable to see a "Disable popup autohide" setting in my meatball menu, as described here). I also tried the steps listed [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../957538] here. Things I have tried:

• resetting PRAM/SMC just in case it's my machine
• disabling hardware acceleration
• starting in safe mode
• refreshing Firefox
• updating to the latest version (thrice)

machine: MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014

I use the French Search Engine, Quant in place of google. It works well, normally. I have just found the following message;

"We detected unusual activity from your device or network.

Reasons may include:

   Rapid taps or clicks
   JavaScript disabled or not working
   Automated (bot) activity on your network (IP 96.241.216.175)
   Use of developer or inspection tools"

I don't know why this has occurred. No one else uses my laptop. How do I get rid of this message and access Quant?

I need to revert to the prior version - my Firefox updated automatically and now there's a bunch of stuff that make using it very hard for me.

Background - I have a TBI that limits my ability to process input. This new version has dropdowns on tabs that are useless and extraneous and make it hard for me to find what I need. I want the old version back so I don't get confused.

I got one response to my prior inquiry with some words and stuff that didn't make sense and when I tried to follow the "directions" what the response said would happen didn't. I tried to restart the search for how to fix this so I can function but it's been ignored for 5 days now.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GO BACK TO THE PRIOR VERSION which was working just fine PLEASE???

Здравствуйте. Что произошло с браузером. Почему не загружаются страницы, а открываются те, которые открывались когда-то раньше? Мне сейчас постоянно жать на кнопку обновить страницу? Что вы сделали с браузером???

I have Firefox version 136.0.2. I think it was quite recently updated. The right click menu is broken. The choice list is much longer, and the choices "open link in new tab" and "copy link" (ones I tried) do not work. This only started happening this morning. Right click works fine in Chrome. Screenshot included.

I have a windows 7 operating system running Firefox v115.40.0esr and the program runs but I am continually getting the error: The procedure entry point GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll Is there a fix for this?

i can not load in to a game pet city 2 and when i try to load it is say that they can not load my game because of Firefox please help with this problem it has been months I've have been having this problem

There's one specific field I fill in very often and for some reason Firefox is really keen on suggesting me two searches that I looked up more than a couple months ago, on a totally different site. I can't even remove these suggestions or add new ones. When I used Vivaldi, it'd learn what I insert (even if it'd end up suggesting tens and tens of options), while Firefox doesn't learn at all.

For sake of an example, let's say that the word I use every day in this field is XYZ. Not even once was it suggested to me, I've only ever gotten the two in the screenshot below instead. And I can't remove them using the Delete key as some other article suggested.

Speaking of which, I just noticed the same thing happen to the subject line in this form 🙃

Been using Firefox since the 90s and been on Mac since 2000s. This problem has been happening for about a year, throughout three macbooks (my old one, a temp one, and my new one) and multiple Firefox updates. I'm always updated and always clear cookies daily.

The failure to move bookmarks I can overcome by rebooting Firefox with a Forced Quit. If I only have to do this every few weeks, then no biggy reinserting all my passwords for all the different sites I use (and no, I don't want to use password managers, I don't trust them)

Today it happened within hours of Force Quitting Firefox, this is too much!!!

The only reason I didn't report this problem earlier is I simply expected an eventual newer version of Firefox to fix this bug.

Firefox 133.0

Normal behaviour: click-drag bookmark within bookmark menu pull-down to position where I want bookmark Failure behaviour: click-drag fails to move bookmark, until I reboot Firefox, then it works again

I’ve noticed that Firefox consumes a lot of memory, especially when I have multiple tabs open. Sometimes, it slows down my entire system, and Task Manager shows Firefox using over 1GB of RAM even with just a few tabs. Other browsers like Chrome or Edge seem to handle memory better with the same number of tabs.

I’ve tried restarting Firefox, closing unused tabs, and disabling a few extensions, but the problem keeps coming back. I even checked techsquest.com for tips, but I’m still struggling. Are there specific settings, hidden features, or optimizations I can apply to reduce Firefox’s memory usage without sacrificing performance?

Here’s what I’ve already checked:

Firefox is updated to the latest version.

No unusual extensions running (just uBlock Origin and Dark Reader).

Hardware acceleration is enabled.

Any help would be appreciated—thanks in advance!

Late last week I updated Firefox to the latest version. Ever since, I keep getting the same error message that I typed in the subject line. I've seen previous recommendations on how to correct it, but none of them work, probably because there's been more updates since what I've come across. I'm getting this error message on multiple sites, including my bank account and my business email account. I'm presently typing this on a different browser (Brave), because I was getting the same error trying to find answers using Firefox.

Any assistance would be appreciated; thanks.

when I try to open Firefox I get the following message ERROR platform version '130.01 is not compatible with mini version 130.00 max version 130.00

This leaves me with 3 questions: 1. Am I supposed to know what this message in computer talk means, 2. Am I supposed to know how to restore Firefox to my computer, 3. Does this impossible to solve problem happen on Chrome

THIS IS MADDENING AND I WANT IT TO STOP. i AM SAY FOR EXAMPLE FACEBOOK AND I AM SCROLLING ORIGINALLY I HAVE THE PAGE SET AT 90 AS I SCROLL IT HAS GONE AS FA DOWN AS 50 WHY WILL IT NOT STAY WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHY IT IT KEEPS DOING THIS I WILL GO TO GOOGLE CHROME AND NOT GO BACK TO FIREFOX THERE IS NO REASON IT SHOULD BE JUMPING LIKE THAT AND DO NOT TELL ME IT IS AD OS BECAUSE I TURNED THEM OFF AND IT STILL DID IT RIGHT NO AS I AM TYPING THIS I STARTED AT 100 AND NOW IT IS 50 AND AS I SCROLL HERE IT CONTINUES TO GO LOWER AS I MOVE THIS PAGE THE NUBER KEEPS DROPPING WHY??

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.

I am seeing a new problem with the latest Firefox version 370.0.2 (aarch64).

When I try to load a link, Firefox seems to go into a sort of "spasm" with repeated attempts to load the link via multiple new web pages.

The link finally loads, however if the link is a login page I can get login failures due to multiple login attempts (e.g. Microsoft login fails authentication due to multiple attempts.)

Please can you help with this ASAP.

Many thanks AJ
