I-Firefox Community Forum

When i start fire fox it immediately opens 10 additional versions in the background which I can see in task manager and they take up a lot off memory. If i end task them they immediately come back. This only started recently. I noticed it because now when i open say a youtube video it shows it as number 4. This never happened before unless I had the same video open more than once.

If I can not stop this I will have to uninstall.

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.

The new Firefox built-in VPN, rolled out to Australia this week, is not redirecting to the chosen country location.

Despite selecting either US or UK in the country list, websites are still identifying me as located in Australia.

For example, despite VPN being on and US selected, cunard.com still redirects me to my home location of Australia (see https://www.cunard.com/en-au in address bar). Screenshot attached. Other websites similar.

bookmarks :: i cant save any new bookmarks when i click book marks all bookmarks appear normal on drop down menu but when i try to save or edit the location i cant find them to click on

Something changed.

When I clicked a link, it would open in a new window. Now it only opens in a new tap. I need it to open in a new window.

I'm using Win 11 with Fire Fox.

How do I get rid of that new sidebar, the slim section? It is totally wasted space! I just want my bookmarks there without that sidebar taking up real estate. It is totally useless for me! Sometimes you just need to leave things alone.

can not copy and past in ebay descriptions when trying to make a listing .Also can not type in the description box will work on edge trying to list but can not as i can put information in description box. Tried on edge works fine. turned off enhanced protection still same.

I'm currently trying to use Firefox due to issues with Google Chrome on Microsoft but as I use eBay for selling items I normally copy and paste to my multiple items selling but as I try to paste something to my ad I see no paste feature on the list of options?. Why can't I use paste on Firefox?. Thanks

I have been having a reoccuring problem signing into Apple / icloud accounts. Basically, it won't let me login even though the password is correct. There are several ways to fix the problem, you have to try each one since there is no consistent way to fix it.

1. Sign in using appleid.apple.com instead of icloud, which seems to work better.. 2. Clear site data for apple.com and icloud.com, which sometimes work. 3. Clear all browsing data, if the previous step doesn't work. 4. Create a new profile if the previous step doesn't work.

The problem is that the problem comes right back in the next login. No fix seems to last more than a few days. It's not an extension issue since the problem occurs even with extensions. It's not using standard tracking and ublock if enable is off for the apple domains.

Anyone has an idea what is causing this? There are no issue signing in using chromium based browsers. The issue has been around for a year now.

How can I suppress a recurring pop-up in Firefox that claims my computer is infected with a virus and it instructs me to download McAfee Antivirus to clear it out. I've done multiple scans with my Norton Antivirus which showed I had no viruses. The fake pop-ups appear to be coming from Firefox.

On Windows 10 Home I've been using Yahoo Finance to track stocks. After updating FF last week I have not been able to load graphs. I've tried refresh, reload, restart, remove cache but any graph shows "loading" or is blank content. Every idea except delete FF and reinstall. Other browsers I sometimes use do load the graphs no problem. What else can I try, or is this a bug? Thanks

Greetings! I asked this as a "Question" over a month ago with no answers offered. Perhpas I should have posted it here:

I'd like to move the Firefox program files to a secondary hard drive without losing bookmarks, settings, etc. Please advise the best way to go about this. Win 11, Thank you.

The reason for this, if relevant, is that my C dirve is filling up and if I can move some of the files off it, it would be easier than replacing the drive.

TIA

Hello,

At the last FF update, I discovered that I had VPN on my top status bar but what does it do?

I have v. 150.0.1 (64 bit). Also Windows 11. I live in France and the only reason to use a VPN is to watch a UK soap which I cannot watch by any other means unless it's live on the TV. I know how to turn it on (obvious), so when I use the BBC website, this is what I do. But it makes not the slightest bit of difference as I am still recognised as being outside the UK.

Am I not doing something please?
