When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?". This happens on Firefox, but not Chrome or Edge. If I 'Allow' Google in the 'Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data' then I do not get the message, but it takes several seconds for Google display the resulting page. However, if I delete the cookies/cache the message will return and I have to redo the reCAPTCHA. I have scanned with Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Hitman Pro, Trend Micro House Call and Microsoft Defender, nothing detected. Running Win 10 (64) with 'Extended Security Updates', Firefox 147.0 (64), no additional Extensions or Plugins. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

Hello, I am facing a very strange and frustrating issue with my website https://biografieblick.de/, and it is only happening on the firefox browser other browsers like chrome, edge or safari are loading the site perfectly fine. The Issue is it occurs occasionally, Yeahh IDK why. When I try to visit my site, Firefox gets stuck on a screen that says "Checking if the site connection is secure" and it looks like an loop sometimes.

This looks exactly like a cloudflare turnstile loop but I am NOT using cloudflare. I have double checked my DNS records and explicitly confirmed this with my web hosting provider. This block only triggers when using firefox.

About 3-4 months ago I started experiencing frequent tab crashes, to the point where if I have even 2 tabs open, one will be non-responsive until the crash page appears. Sometimes not even then, as I've just had YouTube up and it will crash with shocking regularity.

I used to be able to have 20+ tabs open plus a game with no issue at all. I've done nothing different with my computer, no new hardware, no new software besides installing and uninstalling games. My upload and download speeds remain the same. Only Firefox is being a stinker.

What's happening?

I am unable to dismiss the Amazon Search icon from my Firefox Homepage. I can dismiss others, but whenever I click on Dismiss for the Amazon Search it just always remains. I want it gone.

When I click on to gmail I get a screen saying ' Temporary Error We're sorry, but your account is temporarily unavailable. We apologise for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes. You can view the Google Workspace Statue Dashboard for the current status of the service. This has been happening sice yesterday, and I have switched browser to view emails, but I would like to know what has happened. I have checked that I am running the latest version of Firefox, but little else.

My FF Browser introduced a vertical row of rings which I want to get rid off. Im using W10 and FF Version 151.0.4 (64-Bit). Rings are stable, updates show them again. Any Help???

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox for Android forum to the Firefox Desktop forum.

Auto updated to firefox 150 yesterday. What's new screen announced the rollout of the free in browser vpn had reached us (in Canada). Clicked the link to set up, went to screen to follow instructions. There's no vpn icon in the firefox menu bar, no matter what I do. (And I have done everything obvious.) Was the VPN not in the actual update I received or is this some bug/glitch? Thanks.

Whenever I have just 1 Window of Firefox and just 1 tab open, task manager ALWAYS shows 14. Why is this? I have refreshed Firefox and lost some of my settings, it did nothing. Have I been hacked and someone else is controlling my browser?

Screenshot shows one firefox with one tab and yet 14 next to it in Task Manager

After realizing what was being done to my PC, I unplugged it to stop the hacker. And I have since been able to recover my program, except for my ad blocker. Before this unusual encounter, I was using a free ad blocker. I want to restore it to its original status, if possible. Thank you for any help, Leman H Wilson at 7:09 PM 6-3-26

How do I add the Translate icon to my Toolbar - W10 - please?

If I open the following page in Chrome it automatically translated from German to English. https://www.camperprotect.de/p/fahrer-und-beifahrertuerverriegelung-einbruchschutz-2006-2019

I cannot find how to translate it in Firefox. I do not have the Translate icon that is suggested.

Many thanks

Hello, Im using localized (Lithuanian) version of Firefox. Several updates back, Firefox started including russian and Polish in preferred languages by default. Personally i know how to remove those for myself. However, since im managing around 300 computers in a school. This starts to become an issue. In Lithuania we only have one official language. And when pages in a school start opening in foreign (russian) language this starts to be quite annoying. I would love to keep using Firefox but i need help.

FF is offering up possible login names for a particular site I have used previously even though I have removed all related browsing history, form data, and cookies (and cleared the cache). What am I missing? Is it using stored history for unrelated sites to guess at a user name, or is there some other hidden history I need to clear?

After updating to Firefox 152.0.1 this morning I keep getting Error 7023 Service Control Manager each time I start Firefox. The error description states "The MozillaMaintenance service terminated with the following error: Incorrect function." The Mozilla Maintenance Service was set to Manual and I set it to Automatic but still getting error each time I start Firefox. I have read that the service can be disabled so what do you suggest I do to stop the 7023 error. Thank you.
