Firefox Community Forum

I'm having issues using Firefox with the Facebook site. Groups are slow to load and sometimes the chat and notification windows take forever to load with shimmering panels or a wait cursor displayed. I've cleared the cache and deleted the cookie, but that didn't rectify the issue. I don't have a problem with Edge.

I've done all the troubleshooting I could find, including: Uninstalling, tried using beta ff, disabled hardware acceleration, disabled/removed all extensions, memtest, updated various drivers. Still frequent tab crashes Tried two other browsers and neither of those had any issues. No crashing on edge or duckduck.

Crash reason seem to be mostly EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ and EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT

Few crashes from today: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../647f9599-8e18-417d-852e-b52300250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../2001d7f1-4cfc-476b-9a88-4679a0250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../b2101bae-a1cc-404c-b0d2-7b8230250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../dede8925-55e3-484e-b2ab-3863d0250827

It is about Master Password. Before the updates, users need to enter the password before they can continue using Firefox. After several updates it turns into Primary Password which doesn't work the way before. It now allows user to close the password input box and they can continue using the browser. I found this out after my nephew uses my PC and he uses Firefox and I noticed he was able to gain access on my browser. Lots of opened Tabs has been closed out. How can I bring back the old Master Password function which allows you to basically lock your Firefox? The new function Primary Password is a downgrade security feature.

Hola, el problema es el siguiente: Al agrandar la pantalla a pantalla completa en videos en vivo, o sea streaming en vivo en youtube, de repente mi computadora empieza a consumir muchos recursos y el video para de reproducirse, y no responda al mouse, solo al teclado. Cabe aclarar que esto solo empezo a pasar hace algunos dias, antes podia reproducirlos sin ningun problema, y que esto solo sucede con los streaming en vivo, ademas de eso en otros navegadores esto no sucede, pero me gustaria poder seguir usando mozilla y no verme obligado a cambiar de navegador

Tambien otro problema menor pero molesto es que a veces al ingresar a youtube las miniaturas se ven muy grandes y a veces mas pequeñas, esto sucede de manera al azar, el zoom de la pantalla es siempre el mismo, y las miniaturas cambias de manera random de tamaño al ingresar a youtube. Muchas gracias!

Ok, this happens every so often. I use a Laptop running up to date Win 11. For the last several days, when I try to get on Facebook, Firefox doesn't log me in all the way. Pages are just frozen and I can't do anything. I back out, I reboot, but nothing works so just now I logged into Edge and am just flying around Facebook! I have changed nothing so it is not me or my machine. Why does Firefox do this? I love it and have used it for years but this drives me crazy!! Thanks

I am using Tor browser, which is based on Firefox. The 'About' tab says this: 14.5.6 (based on Mozilla Firefox 128.14.0esr)

When I sign in, it tells me that: "Some of Tor Browser's security features may offer less protection on your current operating system."

And it directs me to the following page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/linux-security-warning?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

-- which directs me to set up a file called 'firefox-local' with specific contents. I have created this file; and pasted the recommended contents into it, and saved it.

I am then directed to issue the following command: sudo systemctl restart apparmor.service

-- which I have done. But that returns the following error: Job for apparmor.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apparmor.service" and "journalctl -xeu apparmor.service" for details.

systemctl status apparmor.service gives the following output: × apparmor.service - Load AppArmor profiles

I don't know how to make heads or tails of this. Apparently the profile failed to load. According to the file documentation, it expects firefox to be located in '/home/<USER>/bin/firefox/' but I am running a version through Snap. and I think it is installed in '/snap/firefox/6700/usr/lib/firefox/firefox'

Is that the trouble; and how do I fix it? Grateful for any assistance; sorry for the data dump.

I AM SENDING TWO SCREENSHOTS IN ORDER FOR YOU TO SEE WHY I AM SAYING GOOD BYE TO FIREFOX OVER 4000 OF RESOURCES AS YOU CAN SEE AND FIREFOX HAD 4 TABS OPEN ALL OF THEN JUST OPENED UP SO THEY WERE NOT YET CONNECTED TO ANY WEBPAGE.

I CANNOT SPEND HOURS TRYING TO FIX THIS

SO I AM MOVING TO ANOTHER BROWSER

I JUST WANTED TO SAY CIAO

This morning (08/28/25), I updated my browser to v142.0.1 (64-bit), and Facebook as well as other sites have been affected to the point that I can't even see contents now!!!!!!!

I (God forbid) opened the same sites in Edge, and there's no problem viewing them on Edge.

Is there a way that I can roll back this latest update, because I had no problems until this morning. I'm running a Win 10 Pro OS.

After i sign on to Amazon & some other sites it wants to send me a verification code before I can get on. It says this is Firefox that is demanding this. I am fed up with having to do this. I signed in to my account and the 2nd verification app isn't even downloaded or enabled.

I was trying to register with a new website. Firefox suggested dG@5 as the securely generated password, which being only four characters is obviously insecure. Not surprisingly, it wasn't acceptable, as the website required at least eight characters. I tried deleting the password in both fields and trying again, but Firefox kept suggesting the same insecure password. Even after restarting the registration process I was offered the same password. I have used this feature many times previously, and have never had this happen before. Why has this happened? Is there anything that I can do to stop it happening again? Is there anyway that I can force Firefox to come up with a different password if I don't like its first suggestion? And, is Firefox's system really secure, if it does this?
