Why do a number of familiar functions in familysearch.org in a tab in Firefox in Windows 10 in a laptop computer fail in the last few weeks with the message: Oops, something went wrong. Please refresh the page. topped by a triangle with an exclamation point inside? Question 1.

Is this message generated by Firefox? Question 2.

Could this failure be caused by a timing out of some impatient wait loop? Question 3.

When I start familysearch.org in a tab in the Edge browser all these familiar functions work. I have noticed that my whole system seems to be running slower in the last few months. I have been running familysearch.org in a tab in Firefox for years without this failure. Refreshing the page as advised by the message never works to accomplish the function. The functions in familysearch are Details for a person, Sources for a person, or the Tree for a person. There were even cases a week or more ago when the Details for a person were visible only down to the display of family where the error message would appear in place of the family information without affecting the earlier data.

Hello and I hope not goodbye, but this seems to be the first time I have come across a Firefox update. Usually a bad update from Windows causes me problems. Why is Firefox updating their browser? Is it as full of weak security!

Recently my system updated Firefox to version 149.0.2. It works great! However, it will not display my homepage which is yahoo.com. I can go to any other website and everything is normal. But when I click on the little house for "Homepage" it briefly displays and then goes blank.

This does not happen when I use a different browser.

Please advise.

There is a site I visit regularly that will not connect. I get an error 429 code. This doesn't happen with any other site I've used recently, and I can access the site with my iPad. I've tried clearing cookies and restarting the computer, but still can't get to this site. Any ideas?

Hello

After update to FF 150.0 I have an issue I can't solve myself. My old theme that I was using for many, many years changed colours, because now frame colour corresponds to whatever FF uses dark theme or light theme for some panels like bookmarks, bookmarks editor e.t.c ( I assume it). So if frame is dark all other elements switch to dark mode. I`m looking for a way to change it back to how it was before FF 150.0, meaning if frame is dark I want all rest element of FF to become light themed. For instance: in manifest.json if "frame": "rgb(31, 34, 60)", everything else turn dark if "frame": "rgb(131, 134, 160)", everything else turns light Default themes won't work for me ( v.bad eyesight ) Is there any entry I can add to manifest.json to get what I want? I mean: if "frame": "rgb(31, 34, 60)", I need everything to use LIGHT themed colours.

I have noticed that since around Friday, April 24th, 2026, that Youtube videos will sometimes refuse to load properly. The page for the video will come up, but buttons on the page will not load, and nor will the video. This started happening around mid-day, when prior to it, things had been fine. At first I thought it might be tied into the 'ambient mode' option on Youtube itself., But even after shutting that off, I found it was still happening at ranodm.

Is this something new Yotube is doing in their continued (idiotic) fight against ad blockers, or is there an actual glitch in the browser or, more likely, a glitch in Youtube? Like I said, this seems to occur at random and I can't trace the cause for it. I'll include a screenshot of what I'm seeing. But if anyone knows what's happening here, I'd appreciate it.

I should add that I am on Windows 11 and using the new version 150.0 for Firefox. (Congrats on that, by the way.)

I'll be honest, I keep hearing some other browser can block youtube ads innately. (Brave, I think it was called?) and while the idea is cool, I'm not giving up a browser I've used for over 20 years for it. If Firefox can find a way to implement a similar means of blocking Youtube ads innately, I;d love it. But for now, I just wanna know what the devil is happening with the site. Can anyone help?

I've just opened one simple Web site (in addition to Mozilla), and already CPU usage sits at about 20%! Please refer to my recent posts here at "Why is Firefox Suddenly Taking Over my CPU?" for the problem description. I'm re-posting simply in hopes that I can "send data" on this one from outside my sandbox. Regards -- jclarkw

The attached shows the cursor only from today and free hand highlight from a March 2026 when working properly. The free hand highlight today does not highlight, only the cursor highlight is functioning.

Settings for font do not help. Font now looks very thin and almost blurry. Not clear, dark lines like always in the past.

My setting are Arial size 16. Under advanced, it show Arial Monospace size 13.

Since updating to version 150 (and 150.0.01) my title bar is missing. Sure, I CAN get it back with F11 (2 times) but it is annoying to have to do that every single time I start FF.

There is no longe an option (to checkmark or remove checkmark) in the right-click menu to show the title bar. (it used to be an option) I want the option to have it there permanently, or not. It should be up to me, not some dev somewhere that does not like it.

Hi there, I no longer have access to my primary email and I do not have a secondary one. How can I change it and add the secondary one? Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards

no but no one has matter how much I search, I cant find a way to turn on and off firefox free VPN. Seems an awful lot of people have the same problem but no one has answers. your help page says a whole lot of nothing about a solution to this problem. Can you explain how to do this task?

Account --> Manage account --> add --> secondary email --> (i put the code) and then firefox returns: account already exists. this is not true.server dont clean the cache? i dont now.
