Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

Firefox has become exceedingly slow. I have used Firefox for the most part going back to the beginning save a 2 year stint when Mozilla fell behind and did not update the product in the early years after ver 4. However, the slowness of Firefox is so bad now that I may have to find or use another browser! It is literally that bad! This problem is recent as in the last 45 days as far as my individual needs. I have already gone through the troubleshooting list and made the modifications. That seemed to work for a day or two but the slowness of Firefox is progressively getting worse with each passing day.

The speed is like 3 minutes to 10 minutes when just trying to open a known and commonly used bookmark. Checked against Edge which came with Win 11 and Edge loads within a second or two. So, the problem is not hardware or internet connection. I have one of the fastest speeds on the planet with a true fiber optic connection as I am close to the backbone location in my city. We are talking 2.1gig down and 820MB up. Tested against two different speed tests. The problem is with Firefox specific. Mozilla needs to address this issue as it seems to be an ongoing problem across several IOS platforms.

Why does hitting my Home button open another tab? It's irritating and unnecessary. How do I make it stop?

For that matter, Why can't I open a new tab with my home page already open? I want Duckduckgo. You are bullying me into a blank page or a Firefox page. I used to have a choice.

Over the last 4-5 days I am unable to get online without several restarts. I'm getting the message that the tabs have crashed and now I'm getting messages about incorrect URL's or that I have already accessed something that I haven't accessed. Thank you for your time.

I am increasingly unable to complete transactions using Firefox. I've been a Firefox users for years and I've never encountered as many problem as I am now. Websites give me error messages saying they are unable to confirm my log-in credentials, or something similar. I've contacted a number of vendors who say that they are noticing an increase in the number of customers saying the same thing. My only recourse has been to place the order on the phone OR use another browser. What's up? Thanks.

Here's an example of the scenario I'm suffering: - You want to go do something on a website, say Bacefook (as a demonstration). So you go search up "Bacefook", and enter. - You use the Google search engine, as it does the job. However, you notice it has been taking a few seconds longer than anticipated. - Your internet times out and says it's having trouble connecting to the website. - You refresh, and suddenly the website perfectly loads.

Sometimes it even takes more than one refresh to get it to load normally! And this is not limited to the google search engine. It happens on all sorts of websites. There is no clear pattern to when a website actually loads or not. This problem is limited to my 2 WiFi routers, as other WiFi routers load all websites perfectly.

I decided to check the network tab in the inspect element for more information. I get "NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST" which is clearly false because the target website clearly exists. And the timings tab in the faulty request shows that every timing took 0 milliseconds to fulfill, so it may be the case that no data has been sent. (Seen in image below)

Chrome doesn't really have an issue with this. YouTube may have taken a long time to load in a test experiment though but it loaded successfully all along.

This also seems to be appearing elsewhere for a lot of internet request my computer makes, so it may be an internet setting that exists from one application from another. But it's been bugging me a lot with Firefox specifically.

This problem started happening about 1-2 months ago, and I use Firefox 131.0.3, the latest version of Firefox.

I have a 1848ETC-HST data logger from Real Time Automation on an isolated network that does not support HTTPS but Firefox keeps changing it to HTTPS. I tried a private window with the same results. HTTPS-Only Mode is disabled. I entered an exception even though it should not need it. It was working in Firefox at one time and it still works with safari and chrome.

I play Farmville 2 on Zynga Games and have been for years. All of a sudden the game will not fully load. I tried it on my old computer and it works. I'm wondering if there is something blocking it from loading on this new computer all of a sudden but I don't know what it would be or where to look. Could you please help?

I just switched to a new HP Pavilion 14 running Windows 11. Previously, I had no problems using the "set image as desktop background" right click function, but now it no longer works. Instead, I get a solid color screen.

My hotmail Email page stopped opening yesterday morning. I can open the Live.com page on my Android phone and Safari. I Don't like Safari, and I want to be on Firefox on my desktop.

I’ve noticed that Firefox is draining my Mac’s battery significantly often consuming over 200% of the device’s power. It also prevents my Mac from going to sleep when not in use. Is there a setting I can adjust to improve battery efficiency and ensure that Firefox doesn’t block my device from entering sleep mode? I’d appreciate any guidance to resolve this issue.

When on a web page or e-mail I regularly get a spinning multi colored ball which stops/interrupts the loading of the page. It will last for 3/4/5 seconds and then stop. What's up ??

How to I delete three Fire Fox icons found in Apps? Two show up in the taskbar tray and I am constantly being asked if Fire Fox should be my Default.

Also, refreshing Fire Fox changed all my options. For example, when Fire Fox opened, there were two rows of internet choices from "mail" to "dictionary"; now, a plain white screen.

I'm about to give up on Fire Fox and follow the herd with Microsoft forever! It seems every time Microsoft has an "update", two things happen: I have problems with Fire Fox and my phone rings off from folks I've never done business with; any connection?

Thanks in advance for your help. Computers are a necessary evil!

All of a sudden, when I'm on eBay, a lot of the hot links, embedded on an eBay "for sale" item don't work. Sometimes, when I (repeatedly) hit "Reload Current Page", they start working, or become "hot", as they should be. I wrote eBay, but no response. I don't know, if it's their problem, or something wrong with Firefox. Thanks, in advance, David

I view movies and tv series on Amazon Prime and others every night . Suddenly I no longer can. On Prime I get a msg. saying I must update ff. It tells me the process and I have done it at least 6 times. When I go to 'about Firefox it tells me that I am already up to date, have version 115.18 esr. I am on a Dell Business computer, Vostro 470. Windows 7, service pak 1. Processor is i5-3450CPU @3.10GHz. RAM 400 GB , 4 processor cores. 64 bit. Prime disk466 GB 395 GB free. I'm a senior lady, not very computer literate. I have a ton of duplicate files but don't know which to remove. If I got help I could free up a lot more space. I watch everything on my computer monitor. I don't understand as the esr was supposed to allow us to continue. Please help as I am pretty homebound and this is about my only entertainment.

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.

When I turned on my laptop today my Firefox browser started running an update when it was done I could not open the browser. I get two messages.
