After realizing what was being done to my PC, I unplugged it to stop the hacker. And I have since been able to recover my program, except for my ad blocker. Before this unusual encounter, I was using a free ad blocker. I want to restore it to its original status, if possible. Thank you for any help, Leman H Wilson at 7:09 PM 6-3-26

My firefox took longer than normal to load this morning. It will go to some homepages but then won't go to any sub pages. It appears to not want to go to the home pages of shopping websites. It says it last updated firefox 5 days ago so the long wait this morning wasn't an update. If I use Microsoft Edge I a able to browse freely.

PDFs seem to keep turning black when a pdf appears on Firefox and Downloads with Firefox. The preview of pages is still intact. Turning off hardware acceleration does not solve the issue. How do I fix this problem?

I have no idea what is going on with Mozilla Firefox lately, but ever since the update to add the VPN has happened, (and I DO NOT use it), the response time for accessing any websites has gone into the toilet.

I cannot access any site on the internet, including all that I use normally like mail and newspaper sites, medical provider websites. Neither Firefox nor Safari work--I get the same error message on both. This doesn't happen with other isp providers, like a public computer in the library, just at home. Could there be a modem or isp provider problem at my home?

wie kann ich den ad blocker bei firefox deaktivieren ? weil bei yahoo werden die eingabefelder fuer Bestätigungscodes nicht angezeigt und ich kann somit meine telefonnummer nicht verfizieren

I was able to use Firefox web browser earlier today, but after trying to log in to Facebook, which failed, my account was no longer accessible, I saw an indication that my account was not connected. Do I need to update my software for Firefox. I've been having difficulties logging in to Facebook.

Hi,

i can see all my previous tabs in history but can't reopen window?

I didn't close those tabs, one time i opened mozilla and they were all closed.

Help me, thank you

I go through the process up to 2FA then I get this message " Looks like there’s a problem with this site The server at outlook.live.com sent back an error: 401 Unauthorized".

I recently tried MS Edge even though I always use Firefox. I went through the login process including 2FA and got right in to my email. Can you help?

I prefer to use Firefox and have used it for years.

Thanks

Greetings,

I'm using & viewing the most updated Firefox browser on a Windows 10 Pro (64 bit), desktop, 24" monitor screen.

With the current updates, the list of bookmarks in my Bookmarks Bar has become very small, skinny & overly spaced, hampering readability.

Though I have learned how to enlarge the bookmarks font size, using the "about:config" & updating the 'layout.css.devPixelsPerPx' attribute, the font still remains very skinny & overly spaced.

Is there an attribute that I can change to alter the Font Style (for example to "Semi-bold") & Spacing of the bookmarks list? If so, please be kind enough to describe the process & I'll give it a go.

If a Firefox Development Team member happens to be reading this post, I'd like to put in a request to add some Bookmarks Bar "FONT EDITING" tools accessible via the browser SETTINGS dialogue, to accommodate readability on ALL the various OS & computer form factors that have proliferated these days.

Thank you, Bruce

When Using fire fox it loads sites very slow if at all, and does not use correct passwords for the site selected. I use Norton Security and am operating on windows 11. When using Microsoft edge for the same it works fine. I've had firefox for years and have always updated it, but within the last week or so it seems to be getting worse and worse. Any Suggestions?

I'm running Win11, v25H2, os 26200.8524 on a Dell laptop. Firefox v151.0.3 (64-bit) is behaving a bit odd in that I can open a window, open maybe 2 or 3 tabs, close all but one down, and if I check Task Manager it'll show multiple Firefox apps open, sometimes as many as 20+, and the disk usage/storage is usually between 750MB and 1.2GB. I can see if I had multiple windows or tabs open that the number of apps in Task Mgr would be equal, but if I've only got one or two tabs open and Task Mgr shows I've got 23 open? I have gone into Firefox/Settings/Privacy and Security and selected "Never Remember History" so that if I click on History in the main menu bar it never asks me if I want to clear history, but it will show "Recently Closed Tabs" for whatever tabs I may have opened during that Firefox session. But again, if it shows I have 4 recently opened tabs, why would Task Mgr be showing 18 (for example) open instances?

I have not activated Firefox VPN, I have Enhanced Tracking Protection set to "Standard", I do not have A-I turned on, I don't usually use Private Windows, and I don't have any 'extensions' or 'add-ons' installed - I'm using pretty much the 'standard' Firefox installation. I have Norton 360 VPN installed but rarely turn it on. If this makes any difference, I did try out Privacy Badger about 3 months ago for about 2-3 weeks, but it got so odd that I uninstalled it. Interestingly/oddly enough, about half the websites I visit multiple times a week still give me a pop-up message saying "We see that you're using an ad-blocker, would you like to turn it off?" but I can't turn it off if there's nothing installed. To see if I could stop this 'phantom ad-blocker' I even went so far as to "refresh Firefox", but actually I'm getting more instances of websites telling me "turn off ad-blocker so we can make some money out of you!!!" since the refresh.

This is annoying, not life-threatening but since I've had other problems with low disk storage/ high usage, I try to keep an eye on it and Firefox using ~1GB of space doesn't help the situation. I had asked about Privacy Badger a couple weeks ago and the answer was pretty much "if it's uninstalled, it's not working"... so that was pretty much a dead end.

Ideas?

Hello, about 3 - 4 weeks ago I used my Yubikey to login to a secure site via Firefox. Yesterday I again tried to login to the same site using my Yubikey and failed. An error messaged appears as per the screen shot. I then tried another two browsers (Edge, Vivaldi) and succeeded in using both browsers to login using my Yubikey. I also was able to login to (using my Yubikey) the same site via Firefox on my laptop without issue. My two firefox apps are not linked in any way. Has anyone else had this issue and know of a way to fix the problem?

I manged to find and lose a reddit post that discussed the same problem. In the end the reddit author said it was a windows issue and fixed via the settings app in windows. I have tired this but this doesn't appear to work. Regardless I am also reaching out to the Windows community to see if they can help.

Thanks all.

Within the past few weeks clicking links in emails in Outlook (Version 16.109.1) for Mac fails to open a tab in Firefox. Is this a known issue with either Outlook or Firefox? Perhaps something that happened in an update to one or the other that can be changed back to allow email links to open tabs?

Thanks for any help.
