Firefox Community Forum

So many damn restrictions. i can't browse anything without getting blocked. why the hell did i move from chrome. I dislike this browser as it is blocking almost all access to my local government websites. including many others.

I can't find any settings to fix this. if i don't solve this within this couple of hours. I'm deleting this crap

Sorry for the anger. but wasn't Firefox supposed to be USER FRIENDLY? because at the current the state it is moving FAR AWAY FORM THAT.

Hi!

I think I accidentally signed in to firefox sync with this account so it synced all my passwords and stuff. But I cant login any longer because I it wants to send confimation code to my email. Signin in to this forum works fine for some reason but not to accounts.firefox.com anymore. The problem is that I used 10 minute e-mail service to create this account so there is no way to access that confirmation code. So anyways I want to have my synced data deteted because I don't trust Mozilla with my private data. What are my options?

So, can somebody please explain to me why Firefox VPN is now unsupported in so many countries where people can only exercise their freedom of information by using a VPN?

Do local laws and restrictions apply to the people of these countries because of their governments' actions, while those same governments don't even need a VPN to access such information? Instead, they censor it to prevent their citizens from accessing it.

You claim to be sanctioning the "governments", but in reality, you are only sanctioning the "people" — the very people who are actually fighting against their governments' practices.

Hello, since the recent update, firefox tabs' font look different. Like blurry, doubled. You see the picture. It was not like that til like some minutes ago before it got updated.

I tried accessing Canon printer help files and got a message that Firefox was not supported.

I later tried downloading a manual for a BAOFENG UV82 ham radio and it would not do it.

Neither problem showed up when I tried with Windows edge.

Isn't this somehow illegal?

I usefirefox because it's modular taking this away means I walk so just let me force already got a browser that doesn't give me lip when I try to head weird cites from eastern europe

Just in the past few days, Firefox is useless. Cannot access pages. I have not made any changes. Whatever you changed in Firefox screwed everything up. Links give error message. Your links give the same error. I've had to switch to MS Edge do do anything on my computer. Firefox blocked my online banking. Firefox blocked my VOIP phone app. Firefox is keeping me from opening emails.

Hello,

Firefox used to provide a way to remove the: "This connection is not secure." warning message for sites that are using "http". Believe me, I understand the need for security, but when the site is an internal, intranet site behind a firewall, why is there no longer a provision to turn this warning message off? This makes no sense to me. I have no problem with the "Not Secure" indicator up near the URL. That makes sense. Chrome does this, but they don't assume every "http" site is most likely dangerous. Again, I'm talking about "http" sites that are internal, intranet sites that can only be used by people inside their firewall.

Thank you, -Joe Hummer

Hi!

Ever since the release of version 157 and above my browser crashes almost immediately after startup. Downgrading to 156 does not crash. I have the same problem on my desktop AND laptop.

I have tried to:

• run without any extensions.
• a complete reinstall
• create a "new" profile.

After doing that and logging in to my firefox account to sync bookmarks and passwords it starts to crash again after a day or two.

I'm now assuming something is "corrupt" in my cloud profile, is there any way to reset that one while keeping my bookmarks/passwords?

Or does anyone have any idea what can be the problem.

I have the exact same problem discussed in this previous thread, and the fixes didn't work for me either. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1268375

I have to delete cookies before i can get https://vip.idaholottery.com/ to load every single time I go there, even 2 minutes after I get it to load the first time. My Firefox is up to date. It just started happening a month or so ago.

Summary While Gemini Deep Research was researching a topic and building a PDF report, Firefox's memory and CPU use shot up and the whole laptop became sluggish. System RAM reached 12 of 13 GB. It came back to normal on its own after the report finished.

What I did 1. Opened gemini.google.com in Firefox. 2. Asked Gemini to research a topic and create a PDF (Deep Research). 3. While the report was being generated, the system slowed down badly.

What I measured - Firefox held about **2.6 GB of GPU (GTT) memory**, which comes out of system RAM on an integrated GPU, and it ran at about **100% CPU**. - Total GPU GTT memory in use reached **5.3 to 6.7 GB**, while normal process memory (RSS) added up to only about 5.4 GB. - System RAM reached about **12 of 13 GB in use**, and the system started swapping. - After the report finished, GTT use dropped to about **0.2 GB** and free RAM went back to about 3.8 GB. - Measured from `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/mem_info_gtt_used` and `drm-memory-gtt` in `/proc/<pid>/fdinfo`.

System - Laptop: Lenovo V15 G4 ABP - CPU/GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with integrated Radeon graphics (2 GB reserved as VRAM, 16 GB RAM in total) - OS: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, kernel 7.0.0-43, GNOME 50.1 on Wayland - Browser: Firefox 159.0.1 (Flatpak)

Questions 1. Is this expected for Deep Research, or is it a known issue? 2. Is there a setting or workaround (for example turning off hardware acceleration, or switching away from the tab while it generates) that reduces memory use? 3. Has anyone seen the same thing in Chrome, or on other integrated GPUs?

Thanks!
