I have been using Firefox for 20 years, it always works perfectly until the 2 last update and these problems are driving me crazy!

Since the last 2 updates (137.0.1 (aarch64) on MacOS Sequoia 15.4), sometimes when I click on a tab, it just automatically moves all the way to the right...

How can I fix this?

I am using the version 115.20.0esr (64-bit) and have noticed I have links in my bookmarks, that are either from other bookmark folders but I never copied them over, or I have new links that I never clicked to be saved? I have deleted those I found but some more keep popping up?

Hello! I'm trying to download a quantity of audio files from a specific website. Once I open firefox, I can manage to download a few in that session - anywhere from 1 to 10 usually. Then, at some point, the downloads start to hang. They appear as how they do when they're loading - "Unknown time left - 0 bytes (0 bytes/sec)". However, they never load. The only solution is to restart Firefox, to be able to download a few more.

I'm on Linux mint, Firefox version 137.0.2 (64-bit). I tried running firefox through the terminal to see if anything would show up when the downloads stop working, and I got this:

[GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt [Child 47831, Main Thread] WARNING: Unable to open /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/dconf/profile/user: Permission denied: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:201

And a lot of "ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment." - but those seem to happen all the time during regular usage.

Any way I can go about troubleshooting this, or am I stuck with restarting Firefox every few files I need to download? Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

Please see enclosed screenshot, it happens when I set a video full screen. It doesn't happen all the time but randomly. The screenshot shows the video before it starts hence the black screen. Refreshing the page gets rid of it but I'd like to know what's causing it in the first place. Using latest Firefox 137.0.2, Windows 10.

Basically title.

Every time I close the browser and re-open it, the favicons disappear. I use the favicons to navigate to websites on my bookmark toolbar, but they're missing from my regular bookmarks, too.

I found an old thread that appeared similar, and the solution was to take a working copy of the favicons.db file and re-import it if it breaks (while the browser application is closed). However, this did not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I followed your very helpful article and my bookmarks reappeared, but the error message is now showing up every couple of days.

Update: Several days later, this is still happening. I wish someone would please help.

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that my cab fare calculator pages, which use the Bing Maps API, are taking significantly longer to load in Firefox compared to Chrome or Edge. These are the two pages:

https://tanushreecabs.com/cab-fare-calculator

https://amzcabs.in/cab-fare-calculator-in-nagpur

The map sometimes delays or doesn’t load fully unless the page is refreshed. There are no obvious console errors, and we’re not using anything too heavy—just a basic Bing Maps integration to calculate cab fares based on distance.

Is this a known issue with Firefox, or is there any setting or optimization specific to Firefox I should consider for better performance?

Thanks!

Firefox uses too much memory, with 1 tab 1GB+, and with 4 tabs all 3GB+, this is not normal, the forum topic did not help, reinstalled and did not help, there are no more than 6 extensions, and they consume only 160mb.

Could not get email via the usual Firefox. Always have used Firefox to get it. What happened ???

Then something called Moxilla came along. What's that? Why do I have to use Moxilla? I want Firefox. How is it related to Moxilla? Why did something change without my permission?

Thanks, Deanna Rose

Roboform doesn't show up in the toolbar and it doesn't pop up to suggest passwords. Video download helper doesn't show up in toolbar. This all started after the latest update. Thanks Bob

More recently, for the past few months maybe, I sometimes get a white menubar when Firefox is in the forefront. Clicking on it will restore the menubar.

Here's a pic

I am using the latest Mac OS, 15.4.1, and it happened with the previous version too.

Thanks for any help.

I am trying to run Firefox on a MacBook Air from 2015 (MacOS Monterey 12.7.6) and it has not worked since I updated Firefox a few days ago. I have tried deleting it and downloading it again - same problem. Can not pull up any website. Eventually I get a dialog box "Firefox Crash Reporter".

The iDrive backup app on my synology nas is accessed via a web browser over my local network using an ip address. It has a two step security setup. First to enter Synology credentials and then iDrive's. After entering the iDrive credentials, all I get is a spinning wheel. It is supposed to present a box to enter a validation code, sent to me by email (which I get). The box is never shown.

The process works in Chrome and Edge successfully. I contacted iDrive support and they told me that since it fails only in Firefox, that I should contact the browser vendor.

There is no error message.

I tried clearing my browser cache, restarting Firefox and my computer, none of which helped.

Please can you advise me?

Firefox 137.0.2 (64 bit). Windows 10 Home 22H2 Os Build 19045.5737.

I would appreciate whatever help or suggestions someone may provide to an irksome problem that only happens in my preferred browser, Firefox. I've attached an image below of a page from a local grocery store. Like most stores these days, it is possible to search within that store and its web site for specific items and prices, etc. It works in at least two other browsers I've tried but not in Firefox so a setting, I'm guessing, has been changed within Firefox in the last few months (because this problem did not occur before then).

As you see in the image, I've inserted an item to find its price; and nothing happens. Before, on Firefox, and now with other browsers, I would get a display of all relevant products, prices, quantities, sales and discounts, etc.

What Firefox setting do I need to change so this information will show up again?

I have Firefox version 137.0.2 on this system running Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.5737).

Sorry for my ignorance; and thanks again for whatever help anyone can offer.
