My Firefox is set to auto-update and did so Wednesday night, so it's currently 152.0.1 (64-bit). Since then, it’s been virtually unusable on my home computer (a 2017 iMac Intel Core i5 running Ventura 13.7.8).

I’ve changed nothing about the way I browse, yet having multiple tabs open at a time makes the application either non-responsive and I have to force quit or makes it crash (from today: bp-3c95c176-fde2-40e4-a61c-c5c080260619 bp-7ebe2fc9-0be2-4db2-b0e3-675df0260619 bp-bfe86698-eaf0-4cd2-96c3-ed20b0260619

It crashed four times yesterday as well, but I inadvertently submitted ALL previously un-submitted crashes, so I'd have to dig through to find ones from June 18th).

I can't get most websites to load. I cleared all my browsing data this afternoon in the hopes that it would help, but now I'm having trouble logging into sites like Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Videos on any platform will not load, let alone play. Instagram, YouTube, Peacock (which I think was having an outage last night), Twitter, BlueSky, etc. YouTube BRIEFLY loaded and played a video last night but there was no audio. I tried searching a word’s pronunciation in Google, no audio. It will not play audio on any music sites (SoundCloud and Bandcamp; they both show that the music is playing, but the indicator bars do not move on either site, and again, no audio).

I believe this is an update issue because work computer (MacBook Air, 2017 running Monterey 12.7.6) is using Firefox 151.0.1 and everything is working as normal there (fortunately I leave Firefox open all the time on that computer so it hasn't auto-updated). It had also been running fine BEFORE the update.

Any ideas on a fix?

When I log in to any forum, The address bar and the return circle with the clockwise arrow goes crazy and blinks off and on rapidly. All other sites work normal. I modified nothing. Yesterday it just kept on happening. Both computers are doing the same thing. Lenovo P520 Servers. The only way I can stop it is to kill the current tab.

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.

Why i can't login to https://laboutik.com.br/login anymore? was working well before.

- The login page show up - When click for conection, the window close directly and it comes back to the Firefox home page.

Firefox has been laggy at times lately on my PC (Windows 11 Home, Firefox 152). I have tried some fixes with no success (clearing the cache, deleting YouTube cookies, using the User-Agent Switcher, etc.) Other browsers appear to be unaffected. I first noticed this on YouTube, but it seems that other websites are affected as well.

I am using a Wacom tablet as a touchpad for my PC.

And its scrolling functionality works perfectly fine in every program except on YouTube, specifically when a video is playing.

All of a sudden, scrolling up or down now also registers as a horizontal scroll and skips the video timeline back and forth.

Tried disabling all I could think of related to gestures, horizontal scrolling, or smooth scrolling in the about:config page, but nothing worked.

Disabling the vertical scroll action in the tablet's software does disable vertical scrolling in Firefox as well, as expected. So, changes are getting applied. However, not so for left/right gestures, disabling those in the software had no impact whatsoever in Firefox (on YouTube videos).

Finally, this issue does not occur on Chrome at all. Chrome can handle vertical scrolling on YouTube videos just fine with no need to disable anything.

So, hardware wise, everything is working fine.

Is there any solution to this?

I am perfectly fine disabling any horizontal scrolling gesture whatsoever if that turns out to be the solution.

Thank you!

My I Mac is old 2014. Recently, I seem to get the spinning ball of death every time I try to load a page or even try to close a page. Articles take a long time to load, too. I am not the computer tech knowledgeable but the other day I found myself yelling at the computer because it was so frustrating trying to do anything.

I suppose it could be time for a new piece of equipment but that is not cost effective at this time.

Receive "video unavailable" message when trying to watch Amazon Prime Video. I can view with no issues on Chrome. Amazon support hasn't come up with any answers.

If I select (highlight) one word, or a small number (~3) and right-click, the context menu will always display "Translate Selection to Dutch" as one of the options. If I select a few more, it will switch to "Translate Selection to English" (assuming that what has been selected is not English).

Example: "rouvre la porte" vs "rouvre la porte au nucléaire"

I have English (United States) [en-us] and English [en] in Settings as my "Website language". Possibly related: full page translation always defaults to English, too.

Thanks in advance.

I had my desktop computer set up so that al the text was bigger on every page website and I had a contrast theme set up that worked for my vision. But today there was an update, and now I cannot read anything in any of the tabs in the navigation bar. I also can't read any of the text in any dropdown menus for the tabs. It did not effect the size of type of web pages, but it is causing me real problems with navigation. How can I fix this?

Hi everyone,

Since the Firefox Developer Edition update 152.0beta, saving as a PDF via the print menu no longer works. Although the “Save as PDF” option is available and selected by me, the job is always sent to the laser printer (which is not supposed to print it, of course). This happens on every conceivable website, so the website itself is not the cause. (Platform: macOS Tahoe 26.5.1)

For years, generating PDFs via the print menu has worked flawlessly with FF—now I’m forced to take a detour via Safari, for example—which works correctly in the long run—but isn’t my preferred solution. I don’t think you need different browsers just to use “normal” functions. So who has recently tinkered with this FF feature?

Since I can’t find the relevant setting in the FF preferences—and a “search” on this topic has been unsuccessful—I’d like to know if there’s a solution?

Best regards, HS

I want to re-install Firefox after having re-installed Windows 11. But the installation keeps freezing or I get a message that it's already installed and just needs to be refreshed, which doesn't work either. I tried removing the Mozilla program files from File Explorer but that froze at 99% complete, although the files did show in the Recycle Bin. I definitely need help.

With Firefox 151.0.4 on Linux Mint I can login to https://www.ftb.ca.gov/myftb/index.asp with username and password, then I get the message: "You may have pressed the back button, refreshed during login, opened too many login dialogs, or there is some issue with cookies, since we couldn't find your session. Try logging in again from the application and if the problem persists please contact the administrator. " . Accessing FTB with Chrome works.
