When I go to the url https://ping.com/en-us/clubs and hit the pull down for clubs it does nothing. I have enhanced tracking off. It also says protections dashboard 28 blocked. I am unable to use clubs, bags pld putters pull downs. I am using custom setting cookies, tracking, cryptominers, fingerprinters. It must be a setting and I am unable to solve my problem. If I use Brave browser my pull downs for the clubs etc works fine. I am also using the duck duck go extension in my firefox 112.0.1. Do you have any ideas? Thank you

Hello, I hope someone can help me.

Ever since I updated firefox, my cpu is almost at 100%. With only 2 or 3 tabs open. I updated from version 106.0.2 to 112.0.2. Before this update, I could have several tabs open, up to 10 and the computer would run fine. Now with 3 tabs open, it gets really slow. And I can hear my desktop suffering (the fans go to full speed). When checking the task manager, firefox is taking all the memory and the cpu usage is almost at 100%. I have to keep restarting firefox.

The conditions are the same. The only thing that changes was updating firefox. I already searched for ways to reduce the firefox cpu usage, but nothing changed.

Is there a way to fix this? Or how can I go back to an older version of firefox? Because I'm afraid my computer will die from simply opening 3 tabs.

Thank you in advance.

Hello i am using firefox version 112, but i had issue with previous versions as well.. i got no ad block and i also tried enchanced protection off, for some sites like ebay for example or other sites when i load them , let me give you best example from ebay... when i load ebay i see item description for less than 1 second after that its gone not visible even in private window for other sites simular issues, for some sites i cant see pictures i see them for 1 second and after that they are dissapeared..

I was in italy when I first created my firefox account and by default it choose italian as language. All of my search results are in italian even though in browser settings I choose English as preffered language. Now I discovered that actually my firefox profile is in italian that's why I see results in italian. In the profile settings (https://accounts.firefox.com/settings), there is no option to change the language. Please help.

Hi all, I'm having an issue that I've seen mentioned over several years and without a workable solution - I'm at the point of having to transfer all my browser usage to chrome and abandon my beloved firefox. The issue has been 'answered' by advanced users to tell people to 'inspect' which font is the issue then check local systems font book for corrupted/duplicate fonts: however this is not a satisfactory response. Context: see screen shot attached for what the jibberish looks like, and a point in the 'inspect' view that I believe (guessing) is involved. System: Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit), MacOS 13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a) on Macbook Pro (13-inch, 2020, 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5). This same websites do not have any issue on the same computer viewed on Chrome or Safari. Nor is there any problem on my iPhone on the iOS firefox browser.

Firstly this is not a user-friendly solution for most people, I'm afraid. Opening the inspect viewer is mindboggling for anyone who doesn't code and even for people who do some programming but not for websites (like me), it isn't exactly self-explanatory. I think I've managing to find examples that indicate 'Roboto' seems to be consistently involved in the display issue. Secondly, the step for 'fixing' the font that is the culprit - my local system indicates that all fonts are valid and there are no duplicates. I haven't installed manually Roboto as I'm uncertain where to 'safely' get the font from and my computer is owned and managed by my workplace - with overly strict administration/security rules so if I f-up a download of something dodgy my IT service will blacklist me and revoke my admin access... ** which would mean I'd be unable to do my job!**. I wondered if perhaps there is some security setting due to that, which stops website from loading the fonts they choose? From previous 'solutions' it said that having Firefox preference set to "allow websites to choose their own fonts..." should mean the websites can load as needed. If indeed I must manually download fonts for each and every instance that Firefox fails to display text legibly that is equivalent to Firefox being unusable. I'm clearly frustrated and it's because I love FIrefox and the ethos behind it all so leaving for Chrome would be very sad indeed! Help and a solution for normal users would be so very much appreciated. Also where can I properly lodge this issue with peeps who fix things? There are issues of this kind going back years and for both Windows and Mac Systems so it's not a one-off problem but a recurring one! Please pretty please, people who do the magic that makes Firefox - fix this issue... Thanks for reading my rant and for any helpful responses. Cheers, Megan

So I just rebuilt my PC with all new Parts. Basically the only parts I kept were the PSU, and the Case. I installed Windows fresh on a brand new m.2 SSD, everything up and running and installed Firefox.

I have the OLD m.2 SSD set up as a flash drive, that I can plug into a USB port on my new motherboard, which has allowed me to transfer over things like My Docs and My Pics, etc.

Now I need to know what files I need to copy, from where, and to where; to restore my Firefox profile with all my bookmarks, etc.

Can anyone help me with this?

This is Mind-Numbingly Frustrating!!! I try to load an ordinary website, in this case, DiscountTire.com. I can see that it Firefox tries to load the site, but won't. This is a VERY LARGE COMPANY. But, as is frequently the case, Firefox will not load the site. I try to allow it in Privacy section, but to no avail. And yes, it is an https site. What Gives? This happens repeatedly for many (MANY) websites; HOW DO I TELL FIREFOX THAT I WANT TO USE A SITE?

Hi,

I have read through some of the past similar issues with passwords not syncing across devices and the only official answer I seem to find from the Firefox team is to "manually or force sync"...

However that does not work. I have just saved a new login on my mobile, I have manually synced or "sync now" on both my mobile and desktop, restarted both devices and still...this login does NOT appear on my Desktop.

So please help! For all I know there could be other logins saved on my mobile that don't appear on my desktop and vice versa.

I do not want to uninstall Firefox.

Kind Regards, Alex van der Merwe

Hi, I'm developing a webapp that's designed for print. It uses a "pinterest style" layout to have a column grid of objects with variable heights, and the print styles avoid breaking these items over the page barrier. (In fact, there are two grids on the page, one after the other). The website looks and works fine on screen, and both screen and print work great on Chromium browsers. But on Firefox, using ctrl+P or developer tools' print view causes the page to hang and the tab to ultimately crash.

I know it has something to do with handling the grid layout CSS as the print preview worked fine until I made the change from a traditional row-grid to a column-grid.

The site creates a variable amount of content based on user options at the top of the page. If the content generated is quite small (avoiding a page break?), the print preview works fine. In the link below, I've included some GET variables to guarantee a long amount of content to reliably reproduce the issue.

The site in question.

I've been using my company website for many years without issue. Now all of a sudden the sign in page won't load. If it does and I do sign in, I have sign in issues with all sites under the main login. I use this almost every day so it's a major problem for me.

Hi, I have firefox on my Ubuntu 23.04. When i start it it shows a black screen. I click quit on my system and then i startup and it lunches normally. What am I doing wrong or how to fix it?

Hi, I'm having a ton of issues with Firefox over the past couple months. It seems like it is having a terribly time connecting to anything. If I open Firefox and try to search using the URL bar, it will attempt to search, and either get hung up and just continually load until it just stops and leaves the screen blank or it will give me the little astronaut saying something like "oops can't connect". Then if I were to try and open YouTube. The same issue, and when it does load and I try to type in the YouTube search, it gets hung up AGAIN. YouTube videos never load past the 1 minute mark until I give it like 3 minutes to load.

Some information about my setup:

• i7-11800H
• 16GB Ram
• RTX 3070
• 416 Mbps Down | 22.3 Mbps Up
• Extension include: Bitwarden, Dark Reader, Privacy Badger, and uBlock Origin
• I use AVG as my security suite

I seriously couldn't begin to think whats causing these issues. I understand there's a lot of anti-trackers and AVG, but seriously 3 minutes to even boot up YouTube or not even being able to search on Google from Firefox? That's ridiculous.

Ive tried refreshing, launching in troubleshooting mode, clearing cache and cookies. Nothing works, in fact in troubleshooting mode I still experienced the issues.

Hi I want to make a commercial offer to Mozilla and I want to be a percentage of it if the team has accepted my offer.

Where should I email the offer? And to whom?

I have followed these instructions for deleting all bookmarks at once but Firefox isn't responding to these commands so I have to delete each bookmark individually. To delete a lot of bookmarks at once, use the Library dialog. Either: * Ctrl+Shift+b * Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks In the left panel, click Bookmarks Menu. In the right panel, click the top item you want to remove, then press Shift+End to select all the way to the bottom, then right-click > Delete.

I have tried fixing the config settings, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I don't have any applications anymore (not even a background), and I have deleted and got rid of cache, history, etc.

But it still keeps lagging for me to the point that its hard to even use it now. I checked the task manager and even with just 1 new tab open, it was using 80% CPU. I changed the settings on it for the hardware like other replies said to do, and it still won't stop lagging.

It works perfectly in troubleshoot mode, but as soon as its gone, even when all the extensions and add-ons are removed, there's still a ton of lag. My computer is an Acer Nitro 5, I literally got it last year. Firefox was working up until 2 days ago just fine!

I can't seem to figure out the cause of it

When attempting to log-in to a website (Credit Karma) I have previously visited many times with FireFox, I was presented with something new - something I eventually have come to believe is the Canvas Permission Prompt, as described here:

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting

Not knowing what the prompt wanted from me, I foolishly clicked on the "Don't Allow" button feeling that was the safest thing to do, but realized only as I was clicking the button that the "Always remember my decision" checkbox was default-checked. And as I feared, now whenever I go to the site login page, I am unable to click into the User Name or Password boxes to fill-in my info and nor can I click on the "Log In" button. All other links on the page still seem to work, though.

I have attempted these possible fixes in the about:config list: 1. privacy.resistFingerprinting - I had previously set this to True as per suggestions from several YouTube posters expounding their opinions on safety and security and have been operating with this setting for many months. I tried setting it back to its default False state and restarting FireFox, but the problem still persists. 2. privacy.resistFingerprinting.autoDeclineNoUserInputCanvasPrompts and

   privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomDataOnCanvasExtract - These two looked interesting because of the "Canvas" text and I found them to be set to their default True values since the installation of FireFox.  I have individually set them each to False followed by a FireFox restart, but still the problem persists.

So how do I get the Canvas Permission Prompt to be reset/restored so I can use the login page to get to my account.

Thx

My laptop crashed last night

I had to reboot windows. I had a lot of passwords saved on my firefox browser How can i recover these passwords? I need them to run software for college

Sincerely Ben Martens

I have firefox configured to always run using private mode by default. However sometimes i need a new private window with empty localstorage, sessionstorage and cookiejar etc. For example if i want to sign into a website with two separate accounts such as an email client. However, recently, when i click "New private window" and within it navigate to a website I see my preexisting session from my original firefox instance. In the case of the email client this means I can only log in using a single account with the firefox browser. Currently I have to open another browser such as chrome or edge to solve this issue.

Is this expected behaviour or is there something wrong with my local setup?

Thanks
