Google maps displays a map and then, a few seconds later the map goes black. I found an archive thread called "Google Maps suddenly displaying black" where it is suggested to use ctrl+F5 to bypass the cache. That solution works but then, a few seconds later: Boom, the map goes black.

Seems to me that when the page is refreshed by a script in the map that whatever gets downloaded corrupts the map and then when the refresh occurs, the map goes black.

What ever this "corruption is" Firefox fails to display the content correctly. I have killed my cache, disabled extensions, used troubleshooting mode, switched to the "auto" system theme etc. The key combo is the only way to temporarily recover the map. I should also point out that I see differences in the map UI, it looks like Google updated the UI in maps.

The popup appears and when cancelled will reappear after some time then repeat.

This popup appears to have a mind of it's own and should only appear "on click" into a password request box.

This is very annoying and whenever it appears the page being used will not function until the popup is cancelled.

until 4 days ago my firefox hoMEPAGE DISPLAYED THE ICONS I USE DAILY: xfinity - mail and streaming, Amazon, Facebook ... now I cannot get to any of those, WHY????????

So normally firefox uses a reasonable amount of ram but sometimes the amount of ram usage almost doubles, then if I try to change tabs the program freezes. I then have to wait for firefox to stop using the excess of ram and return back to normal levels.

I believe this mainly happens when I have youtube or reddit open but I have no idea how to fix this.

I have already tried reinstalling firefox and deleting/changing extensions. The current extension i have on is adguard adblocker and no others.

Longtime Firefox user, Lenovo desktop, Windows 10 user, have Firefox version 154. Can log into my microsoft M365 account, but whan I click on "Search", my files do not appear. Box appears saying "No Recent Items" in place of my list of files.

Can this be fixed at Firefox??? I'm forced to us Chrome, which I do not want to do. Thank you. Mike Manning Text [redacted phone# and email from community support forum]

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,

Upon a Windows forced restart closing Firefox, all of my current session tabs were closed. Upon opening Firefox once again, during which it updated, Recently Closed Windows and Tabs are both dark, preventing me from restoring my previous session.

Because of this issue, I need to try and recover my previous session by scanning through the search history to find the tabs that matter to me.

Open Application Menu(three bars) > History > Manage History

This is the only way to view the complete history in some sort of chronological order. Recent History does not go back far enough and Search History is useless in this case.

A window titled "Library" pops up, which has all my search history.

Focused on "Today", double clicking a website opens it in the current tab, which surprised me. I would think that default behavior would be opening it in a new tab, but alright. I'll right click and specify open in a new tab from now on.

I scroll down, find a website, right click, and open it in a new tab. This action removes the website from it's current position in the chronological order to put it at the very top. If you had scroll down, you are now back at the very top of the list again.

This same behavior does not occur in the "Yesterday" submenu or previous months like "July", however, in the "Last 7 days" and "This Month" submenu, this behavior occurs.

All in all, this means that the chronological order of the history is not preserved and my task of restoring my previous session manually is made more frustrating by having to scroll down where I was from the top after opening each website I want to recover.

Please just "copy" what Google Chrome does, I've never had an issue with their history implementations or my previous sessions being unrecoverable. I'll be figuring out some plugin to use to resolve my previous session issue in the mean time, as I've accepted it as a bad quirk of Firefox.

The history under Firefox View almost fixes the history problems I have, to bad it's hidden under two unrelated submenus, "List All Tabs" > "View All Tabs", so no reasonable person can actually find it. I only found it after writing this up. Put that in the history section please, something like.

Open Application Menu(three bars) > History > Browse History

I have two installations of Firefox on a desktop and a laptop. The first installation is pinned to the Windows toolbar and the 2nd installation has a shortcut pinned to Windows Start.

When I saw that the latest update of Firefox to 154 allowed changing icons, I changed the 2nd installation to a different Firefox icon (mini-fox with black background) so it was easy to see which installation to use when both were open.

The problem is the changed icon for the shortcut is wrong after shutting down the computers. I do not recall having this problem with the 1st installation or on my 2nd laptop where I only have one installation of Firefox.

I suspect this is just a glitch that will likely be fixed in a future update, but it is annoying to have to go through the process of changing the icon every time I startup a computer. If anyone has found a solution for this, I would very much appreciate your help.

I had an organized list in the left side of all if the links to pay bills. or other categories It was easy and it worked. Now apparently you have taken that away,. I HATER THIS NEW FIREFOX!!!!

Acer Aspire 5 laptop. Windows 10. Auto turned off because I unplugged it to move places and it has a dodgy connection so if the screen physically moves a bit (like closing and opening movement) it just auto turns off - the screen accidentally moved a bit! I restarted it but only used it to connect to the scanner and save the scanned doc in Documents - I didn't use the internet so didn't realise the tabs didn't re-open as normal. Next day, I realised the many tabs and a few windows weren't opening in Mozilla Firefox. They were also off in Chrome but I could recover those - and it was just one window and a handful of tabs. I did a restore last session, which was dated as a couple of days previously, but the Firefox windows and tabs were still not there when I restarted. I certainly wasn't asked nor were there any warnings re saving tabs etc Firefox has just done an update (auto). I've looked around but see no solution. I don't have my laptop synced to any other device. I thought I had a back up / remember things for in case of crashes but it seems not. What do I do to recover all the tabs and windows? Thank you.

After last mac update i have not been able to get onto my Farmille2 game ive been using firefox on my macbook air no matter what I have tried hasn't worked going directly to zynga just brings up chrome info which doesnt work can you please help ?

Firefox under Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, will not let me input text. How can I get past this?

I am having to type into a text file, copy and paste to get information into a text box in Firefox.

I am still getting behavior, after updating to 154.0.1 (64-bit) today, where I'll do a search in the address bar (which is set to have Yahoo Search as my homepage and default browser), and simply nothing happens. I do not know what is going on. This is now the second update that has this erroneous behavior. It doesn't matter if I turn on or off the associated Yahoo Search extension, whether I go through Yahoo's own address bar or my own on the homepage, etc. It simply doesn't regularly work, anymore.

i've downloaded firefox but it asks me everytime if i want to make it my default. i click yes and then the next time i open a tab it asks me a the same question again. when i open a tab yahoo always is the default. when i do a search for yahoo it shows up but the folder never comes up.

After recent Firefox update in v 154, saved passwords do not auto-fill in all websites. Actually, not even the username is loaded. I tried to open in troubleshoot mode and didn't work too. I tried to log out and re-login and fixed for a while only. Then same issue re-occurred. In websites where I have multiple accounts it's too hard to find the proper one. In the Settings > Passwords everything is enabled.

We thought this is simple. But it looks like we need to have words explained to us. Setting firefox to never remember history makes it produce some claims that it looks like it developers aren't really aware of the meaning of. Setting it to "Never remember history" makes it automatically check "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" and "Based on your history settings, Firefox deletes cookies and site data from your session when you close the browser.". After having done that firefox forces a restart. We use it a little bit and close it again. Then open it up and re-enable "Remember history". It will force another restart, and then suddenly remember all the things it was told not to remember. Like automatically relogging into google for you, opening tabs, and things like that.

So. Can someone explain to us the meaning of the words "forget", "never", "history", "clear", "cookies and site data", "every time", "close firefox", "deletes", "close the browser". We thought it couldn't be more obvious that what the user intends with these settings is for you to delete the user data. Like you claim you do. And then you wonder why people say firefox is bought and payed for by google. If anyone of you can find the time to take your tongues out of google long enough to define these words for us we would forever be thankful. Can please someone please teach us please english please?
