Since the new CEO of Firefox seems to be very determined to add more AI features to the browser that I've been using (among other things) specifically to escape AI slop, I will be considering switching to another browser. It will be disheartening to abandon the browser I've been using for years, but I value my personal data (and cpu) too much to let an AI handle it. I appreciated his words that it would be "Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off", but I strongly believe that all AI browsers are inherently insecure. The first AI feature that I can't make completely disappear forever with one click will be my sign to switch browsers. Hopefully, Firefox re-thinks its approach and decides not to destroy the exact thing that makes it so valuable - the commitment to protect the users' privacy.

I use a 2020-21 MacBook Pro. I ALSO use four different browsers for different types of things. Recently, ONLY IN FF have I been getting this little annoyance in the upper left-hand corner of the window when I open a new window. In don't get it anywhere else and cannot understand what a 'Cntrl-Click (Mac)' (right-click on that other platform) tells me about it. I WAS able to eliminate a SIMILAR nuisance about some sort of groups. The icon was a little box split into four sections. With both, the screen gets a white haze over it until clicking on the little box. . I have included a screen shot of the box in question. . Thanks in advance... .

Hello. This is very strange and just started happening today, December 16, 2025. In Firefox, the Outlook web version, using my company email, when I reply to an email in my inbox two drafts are created. This doesn't happen when I do the same action (reply to an email) using either Chrome or Safari. To be clear, I love Firefox and have been using it for many years. I STRONGLY favor it over the other two. Help! This is just annoying. My draft folder is full of useless drafts. David

The system asks me to sign in using my passkey or to try another way. The screen is frozen - can't enter passkey, can't choose another way. The only way out is to close firefox. I have no problem signing in with a different browser (Safari).

With reference to this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1439281 from 2024

The answer was this: Disable "Suggest Firefox Relay email masks to protect your email address" in "Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Passwords".

But I already have this setting disabled. The popup still comes up. (BTW it's in "Preferences -> Privacy & Secutiry ->Passwords". The popup still comes up.

NO ONE IS WATCHING ME! I'm at home! (Except for that guy who sees what I do in bed /s)

Moderator note: This question has been edited to correct the link.

When I try and connect to a site with firefox I get a message saying "Check that Firefox hass permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall) How can I get check to see if I am behind the firewall and if so how can I get out to connect to that specific site.

After an hour or two of use, Firefox keeps freezing. I'm on a new macbook pro (sequoia 15.7.2.) I have removed and re-installed newly downloaded versions of firefox three times now: same issue. At the Apple store they can find no fault.

It just froze again so I had to restart it. The activity monitor (see screenshot attached) said Firefox was taking up 26.9GB - it always does this when it freezes.

How can I fix this?

I am running MacOSX 11.6.8 and have just recently had my Firefox browser update to version 146.0 and it now has a problem with content playback: whether on video or usic, YouTube or Tidal or any other streaming service, whenever playing back content it stops at 2 minutes and 8 seconds, displays the buffering wheel, and doesnt come back on its own. If I hit pause and then hit play again, it starts playing again fine. But then after 2 minutes and 8 seconds it stops again and I have to restart it again. And again. And again every 2 minutes and 8 seconds. This is a very odd problem, is anyone else experiencing this? It is very annoying.

Hi,

Any suggestions for Firefox being really slow? Slow loading webpages. This has been going on for about a month. Maybe longer. I have the same issue in Troubleshoooting mode. Firefox is updated. Cleared cache and cookies. Rebooted. On a Mac laptop.

I keep using Safari and I'm about to more over permanently.

Thanks!

Hello, for quite some time I have been encountering an issue where the scaling of browser elements gets broken when I unplug my Mac from its dock/external display and then being using Firefox using the built in Retina display. This only impacts Firefox and renders Firefox completely useless until I quite Firefox and reopen it. It impacts all open Firefox windows. The attached screenshot explains it better.

Firefox 146.0 (aarch64) MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 macOS 15.5 (24F74)

Any ideas?
