When I type something in Google search I have two issue. #1 it moves the search up to the browser address bar which is utterly annoying. I've tried finding ways to disable that and use Google the original way which I think most people prefer. But #2, more annoying than this is that starting in July 2024 the searches started randomly not working. You hit enter... nothing happens. I'll clear all the browser cache and history (everything selected) and it will work once or twice, then nothing. At first I thought maybe the enter key on my keyboard was going bad since it was seemingly a little intermittent, but no, it's not the keyboard... it's Firefox.

I also tried a full delete and reinstall of Firefox but that doesn't work either.

I also tried shutting off my free version of AVG, which I've had for quite awhile, and that didn't help either.

I have no idea what else to try and absolutely no idea what else could be causing this. I just know I use Google A LOT and have never liked other search engines.

So with that said, I think my days of using Firefox have come to an end. If someone doesn't post a legitimate fix to this by the end of the month (Aug 2024), I'm just going to delete and use Chrome. I don't feel I have any other choice at this point. This has simply become way too frustrating. And from what I've found, no one else has been able to resolve this either.

For several days, on all sites I have visited with shopping carts, a low-opacity grey rectangle appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Nothing appearing on the screen covered by the rectangle will respond. And usually, the shopping cart button, and/or the search field are behind it.

I am forced to change to using Safari or Chrome if I am going to buy something (unless it's Amazon, that's the only shopping site I have used that seems to be free of this weird obstacle).

For the past few weeks, I’ve been having serious issues with the default search/address bar.

Usually when I want to search for something on my default search engine (Google atm), I just type in what I’m searching for in the top search/address bar, press enter and it will give me the google search results. But for the past few weeks, I’ve been having issues with this.

What happens is, when I type in something, press enter, most of the time nothing happens (but sometimes it works as it used to). I then have to mouse-click on the typed in search parameters in the search/address bar and press enter again. At that point it might “hold” and show me the search results. But other times, it doesn’t and I have to repeat the process up to 10 times before it finally holds and shows me the search results.

Even more annoying is when I’m already on some site in Firefox, and I want to type in a new site/search result over the existing one. It used to work just fine. But now, most of the time the same thing happens as above, except that when it doesn’t work the first time, typed in search parameters are gone, as it just shows the last site address in the search/address bar, so I have to go up to the search/address bar, type in the search parameters again, and press enter again, hoping that it will hold that time. If it doesn’t, I just have to repeat over and over again. So it’s basically easier to click a new tab, type the search parameters in there, and spam mouse-click, enter until it holds.

This is getting so annoying that I’m seriously considering moving away from Firefox and going to Chrome, which I honestly hate cause I really don’t want to support Chrome and want to stick with Firefox, but this issue is driving me nuts.

I have also tried troubleshooting the usual thing with “Refresh Firefox” and “Clear Cache”, removed all my extensions, and nothing helped.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening, and why I’m not finding any reports of a similar issue anywhere? What could actually be the issue here?

In last few days some links and web URL's get redirected to Facebook pages. For example www.vh1.com redirects to https://www.facebook.com/VH1/. I have cleared cache and cookies. Oops just testing Chrome as I type this and the same thing happens there, so not Firefox solely. Still, anyone any suggestions where to start to look?

After some of the recent updates, my entries into the url search bar work for 1-2 searches, then the search bar no longer functions until I close out firefox and then re-open it. Then, again this repeats itself each time I use the Firefox search bar.

My Desktop crashed and I had to do a complete reset and reinstall of Windows Ten that deleted all my personal data. [It was a problematic event]

Now, when I attempt to load certain pages like Gab.com or Facebook it states that JavaScript must be enabled. But, after checking about:confif gor javascript it is, in fact, enabled.

When I enter a site like Sephora, Menards, Ulta, and Target I either automatically get an Access Denied error or get one when I try to navigate from the home page. These websites also either won't let me log in to an account or will immediately kick me out of my account after logging in. I've tried everything I could find online and nothing has helped. I am on the latest Firefox software.

Here is an example of the error message: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.sephora.com/shop/makeup-cosmetics" on this server.

Why doesn't Rumble work well on Firefox? Other browsers (Chrome) play the videos smoothly & quickly with no hangups or glitches, but Firefox constantly plays (eventually) audio but not video - it hangs up on the thumbnail. If I refresh about a thousand times the video will play. I thought this was a Rumble issue, but the site is smooth and problem-free on Chrome. I love using Firefox! Is there a setting I need to change, or is there an update Firefox could do? Thanks!

Up until the last couple days I have been able, for years, to enter a search query in the search bar. It no longer works, but the bar is still there.

Will this be fixed? Kind of a deal breaker for me. I have this functionality with other browsers.

After running scannow and chkdisk on my Win 11 laptop, the fonts for menus and toolbars in Firefox (not for web pages) is unreadably small (about 6pt). I have tried adjusting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, ui.textScaleFactor, and browser.display.os-zoom-behavior to recommended valus as well as above or below values. So far, no help. Please advise.

PROBLEM: After a restart of Windows 10 and re-starting Firefox, a Firefox window with a YouTube web page in a tab will start playing unbidden. When multiple Firefox windows with multiple tabs each are in use multiple YouTube videos will start playing. (Only one of possibly multiple YouTube tabs per FireFox window, I believe.) The cacaphony is annoying. Tracking down the offending tabs is difficult. (There is no "Show tabs playing media" feature in Firefox.)

QUESTIONS: (1) How do I prevent Firefox from playing media (YouTube and others) unbidden when Firefox re-starts and re-loads its tabs? (2) How do I quickly find which Firefox windows have a tab that is playing media? (3) How do I quickly find which Firefox tabs are playing media? (4) How can YouTube videos be prevented from automatically starting when a Firefox web page with that video is re-loaded?

Hello

I am having troubles accessing the browser. I get to do endless security check every time I open Firefox for anything. I have to undergo several puzzles "I am not a robot" before any page opens and this happens every time I go on the web. even if I did this a Mn ago am being asked again and not only one puzzle to resolve but sometimes up to 10 in a row. This is so time consuming that I am now considering leaving Firefox to work on other browsers although I always had Firefox as my default browser. Thank you

The "search in page" feature has somehow become hidden behind the taskbar at the bottom of my screen. I can only see it by using F11 to hide the taskbar. Any ideas on making it visible again?

I was trying to fix a printing problem I was having and stupidly re-set Firefox. I lost all of my bookmarks, settings, etc. I un-installed it because the look was so different I thought maybe I could get back what I had lost if I re-installed. Well, that didn't work. Now I have nothing - no bookmarks (which are extremly important), no nothing. Please help!
