I’ve been using Firefox on my Mac without any issues, but I recently had to erase and reset my Mac. After reinstalling Firefox and attempting to sign in to my account, I am unable to sync my data.

When I click “Sign in” and enter my password, I successfully log in. However, it immediately returns to the message “Please sign in to reconnect,” and I am unable to proceed with syncing.

This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue.

On a positive note, I can still see my organized bookmarks on Firefox for iPhone, which were synced from my Mac before the reset.

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place but here goes:

Firefox keeps increasing it's tab RAM usage when I change the "src" property of an image programmatically for extended periods of time (1 hour or so).

I created a dummy project here: https://github.com/mvandermade/example-base64-image-memory-high-native

The code above swaps out the image "src" 20 times a second. However I seen buildups with lower frequencies but bigger images too...

Here some measurement of tab RAM usage:

Measurements Windows 10: Firefox 131 00.00h 37MB 01.15h 127MB 03.00h 228MB

Edge (latest) 00.00h 28MB 01.15h 30MB 03.00h 33MB

(Edge seems to have no memory buildup as much)

Here is a copy of the code if the repo ever goes down:

<html>
    <head>
        <script>
        function generateRandomBase64Image() {
            // Create a canvas element
            const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
            const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

            // Set canvas dimensions
            canvas.width = 200;
            canvas.height = 200;

            if(ctx == null) return ""

            // Fill the canvas with a random color
            ctx.fillStyle = `#${Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215).toString(16)}`;
            ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

            // Draw some random shapes
            for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                ctx.fillStyle = `#${Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215).toString(16)}`;
                ctx.beginPath();
                ctx.arc(
                    Math.random() * canvas.width,
                    Math.random() * canvas.height,
                    Math.random() * 50,
                    0,
                    Math.PI * 2
                );
                ctx.fill();
            }

            // Convert the canvas to a Base64 string
            return canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
        }

        setInterval(() => {
            document.getElementById("swapper").src=generateRandomBase64Image()
        }, 50)

        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <img src="" id="swapper"/>
    </body>
</html>

Just a observation from my side, if I can help improve things please let me know!

Greetings,

Martijn

p.s. I also created a project in React which gives similar results: https://github.com/mvandermade/example-base64-image-memory-high

I recently updated to Firefox 131.0.3, having signed out of my Firefox/Mozilla account. Now I am trying to sign back in. After a seemingly successful sign-in (with email and pw, followed by "authorization code"), I'm taken to my account page. Scrolling down to Connected Services, I can see a recognizable account name (my Windows 11 user name and the name I've assigned to my computer). But looking up at the account button at the top right of Firefox, I see a small yellow triangle. Clicking on the button, I'm told "Account disconnected." (Remember, I'm currently looking at my account page, which says I'm connected.)

So I try to log in again. I give email address and password, and authorization code, and I'm in again. Now I see an addtional account connected, "Firefox 131, Windows 10" (remember, I'm using Windows 11).

So looking up again to the upper right at the account button, I see the yellow triangle, and clicking tells me once more that I'm disconnected, even though I have my account page open in front of me.

All of this, of course, prevents me from having access to the sync function. I've been through this circle several times with the same strange results.

Anyone have any idea what' going on.

Screenshot attached.

Thanks! Lance

We are in an enterprise environment and for years we have had disabled automatic updates.

Firefox ESR 128.2.0 has been deployed with defaults and these settings have been configured to override previous settings.

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Mozilla > Firefox

- Custom Update URL = Disabled
- Disable Update = Disable
- Application Autoupdate = Enabled
- Background updater = Enabled

We also have a system proxy configured.

Updates do work if someone goes to Help > About Firefox.

Looks like the update interval is once every 7 hours but how is this triggered?

Hello.

My problem is that in new versions of Firefox (from 115) there is no way to enter numeric values ​​using the mouse wheel. The browser simply scrolls the entire page. In older versions this problem does not exist.

I tried to compare the settings about:config but did not succeed. There must be some parameter responsible for this.

In fact, they force you to update by deprecating certificates, but it is becoming more and more difficult to use :(


I'm attaching a screenshot. It should be: When you scroll the mouse wheel, the numbers change (like in older versions) It is in fact (Scrolling the entire page and the numbers need to be entered on the keyboard)

I hope I explained clearly what is needed.

Locking this thread, please continue here: [/questions/1469718]
Hi there,

I’m encountering a strange issue when using Firefox to access videos on a particular website, [[Mobile dent repair |https://www.patriotpdraz.com/]]. The site itself loads perfectly, but whenever I try to play any embedded videos or media on the page, the video either doesn’t load or remains stuck buffering.

Interestingly, I’ve tested the same website and videos on other browsers like Chrome and Edge, and they work flawlessly. I’ve already tried clearing the cache, disabling hardware acceleration, and running Firefox in Safe Mode, but the problem persists only on Firefox.

Could this be a compatibility issue between Firefox and the way the media is embedded on this specific site? I would appreciate any suggestions to resolve this problem.

Thanks for your help!

I've never had this problem before, even though I've been using Firefox for 4 years. As soon as I try to connect to an account via Google, or go to Docs/Drive/Classroom, I'm always taken to a “Clear cache and delete cookies” page. So I followed the instructions on the page, deleted all my data and saved cookies from Firefox and even tried to reinstall Firefox completely, but nothing changed, I'm always redirected to this page.

Someone can help me please? I can provide more informations if needed.

Hello, Sorry to disturb but its been two days and I am unable to access my Google accounts (work and private) through Firefox in anyway. I have done all the basic fixes I can think of but with no success. I have deleted caches, checked plug ins, rebooted Firefox went through the trouble shooting mode, followed advice in the community forum, tried logging in from Google linked accounts. Spoke to our internal IT support at work but nothing has solved the issue as yet, spoke to Google support.

My assumption is that it has to be the browser as I am able to log into google with another browser but Firefox is my preferred browser and would like to use it again as such.

Please advise.
