recent firefox update can no longer copy and paste when creating a blog post in Squarespace, I have been using squarespace for around 15 years for my websites and I have never seen this issue, Firefox 15.1 installed and all of a sudden when trying to create a blog post in Squarespace, when I right click a text box pop up and it no longer says paste so I can no longer copy and paste text - this is more than a little annoying, you will not be surprised to know that I am now using Chrome to create my posts, there is no issue in chrome. I am a firefox geek! how can i solve this problem, I just did another update from Firefox, the issue remains I have been using computers for 40 year so I am not a novice but software glitches, I am lost

Hello,

At the last FF update, I discovered that I had VPN on my top status bar but what does it do?

I have v. 150.0.1 (64 bit). Also Windows 11. I live in France and the only reason to use a VPN is to watch a UK soap which I cannot watch by any other means unless it's live on the TV. I know how to turn it on (obvious), so when I use the BBC website, this is what I do. But it makes not the slightest bit of difference as I am still recognised as being outside the UK.

Am I not doing something please?

Hi Everyone,

I've been having this problem for a wee while when I'm browsing facebook (which works better in Chrome) the site on firefox and as well as messenger is really laggy and I'm wondering if there is a hidden setting that I should change to improve this?

I only have adblock addon installed and I cleaned out the history and browser cookies ect but the problem still remains.

Any ideas? Thanks Rob

There was nothing wrong everything was running perfect and smooth but then out of nowhere my youtube froze and I couldn't press anything on youtube tab, I could still close it or press the buttons on the sides/corners but on the youtube, it also doesn't refresh, this only happens on youtube and only on firefox when on other browsers, yes I unchecked hardware acceleration, I restarted my firefox many times, I cleared the cache, today I turned my adblockers too, i thought it turned into how it was before but then it froze again and now I couldn't even see youtube it was just black screen on that tab, like what do I do here, do I switch browsers? It eventually starts playing again after I wait for some minutes but I don't want that, I want it to work like how it did before this happened. Why did it even happen?!

Hi,

I’m facing an issue with my website’s fine checking tool on Mozilla Firefox. My website is evgfinescheck.com , and the tool works fine in some browsers, but on Firefox it doesn’t load properly and sometimes shows an error.

I am already using the latest (updated) version of Firefox, so the issue is not due to an outdated browser. The tool either fails to fetch data or doesn’t respond as expected when users try to check fines.

I’ve checked basic things like internet connection and browser updates, but the problem still persists specifically on Firefox.

Can anyone guide me on:

What could be causing this compatibility issue? Are there any common JavaScript, API, or CORS-related problems specific to Firefox? How can I debug or fix this issue?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The last 2 days Firefox has not been saving my open webpages

I checked my settings and it says I am set to reopen settings, but it is not doing it.

I do genealogy every day so I need my tabs to open...it lost the tabs I was going to work on the following day that I wanted to work on.

Also when I turned computer it wanted to make Firefox a default and it already is...It used to allow me to reload recent activity pages, but it did not after my Firefox crashed...it only listed about 10 pages,

I thought it may have crashed because I turned it off with 250 pages open, but it was very late and it would have taken me hours to look at all the open files

It took me a few hours to get some of the pages back, but I lost track of a lot of files I wanted to work on, but I lost track of many :-(

I am not a "techie" so I hope Mozilla support can get me back to being able to have Firefox save tabs again for me...I promise not to leave 250 files open again...that is the only thing I can think of that caused everything to crash

Thank you J

Firefox will randomly require an admin to install the latest update and then go 10 or so updates without any admin access needed.

Work device, all users are non admin making this extremely tedious to update a browser that brings a new update almost every 3-5 days.

On top of that, I elevated to admin and went to the help > About section and pressed Restart to Update Firefox and entered admin creds and still its refusing to update. Just re-opens on 151.0.4.

On the previous version it did the same thing. I completely wiped my firefox from the system, removed all registry and file settings, rebooted, and did a fresh install.

now on 152.0 its doing the same thing again.

I fill out a lot of forms online and use Firefoxe's autofill to fill in my personal info.

The problem I have is that autofill always puts a +1 in front of my phone number on the forms.

Since the form is only looking for 7 digits, it chokes with the +1 and won't submit. This requires me to manually click on the phone number field and delete the +1 so the form will submit. With the amount of forms I fill out, this creates a lot of unnecessary wasted time constantly having to correct it.

I have tried editing the phone number in autofill to remove the +1, and although it appears to do so, as soon as I save it, it comes right back again.

Is there an about:config setting that will remove this? I don't know why Firefox thought this was a good thing and not allow a way to edit it out.

Thank you for any replies

facebook loads extremely only on firefox. I have turned off enhanced tracking protection which only makes slower ??? Edge has no problem what so ever. Other sites on firefox are not as slow but are still slow. May have to stop using firefox , its very annoying.

I have a lot of parts that I'm not going to see, and that's what you're saying: I don't know about these things. What parts are they not? Everything's working just fine, but what if I want to set it up on my iPad and my iPhone to have it similar to the same setup? How do I go about doing that?

For a while firefox has been having issues where on youtube in particular when tabs are closed they will continue to play audio for a bit after they are closed. More recently I have closed tabs and the audio keeps on going indefinitely after the tab has been closed. This is on the latest firefox (151.0.4 64 bit) on windows 11.

This only seems to happen with youtube and in general youtube playback is buggy, slow, and lags the whole browser taking several seconds to switch tabs to or from a youtube tab or even close it.

I am facing a recurring issue while browsing websites on Firefox. This happened even before the latest upgrade. Only it is worse after this last software upgrade.

After using the browser for 1–2 minutes, the browser gets stuck or becomes unresponsive. While scrolling through websites, the full page does not load properly, and parts of the webpage suddenly become blank. In many cases, the existing tab cannot even be refreshed. I have to close the program, wait a few minutes and reopen. Very frustrating. I have been using Firefox for many years and this is the most unstable I have ever seen it. Browser Version: [151.0.4(64-bit)] Operating System: [Windows 11]

Looking forward to your support.

I'm fed up with firefox. It seems almost every update deletes old passwords or creates new profile (which effectively deletes the passwords!)

I've tried looking at about.profiles which seems pointless - the active profile does not have my passwords and the inactive profile does not have them either.

If you can't secure passwords what's the point of your browser??

I'm moving to another browser which can guarantee the security of my passwords.

Meanwhile, I must visit every site I use to reset my passwords - what a chore!!!

My internet connection is with Comcast, whom has told their customers that they will no longer be allowing email addresses with their company’s name. To this end I have been trying to move my old email accounts over from them, and I'm facing a lot of problems. However, since I was able to change the email in the Mozilla account today, I may be able to do it now. Also, please update my computer info to windows 11. Educated guesses below are correct.

Thank you V

it can be useful if u create a system of syncing which actually works, why my passwords dont sync when i log in and also i had to put my exact same passwords 6 times before the stupid system recognized it was correct, the fuck is happening i had changed devices before and this never happened i dont know why now but im very upset
