I-Firefox Community Forum

I am having the problem a fix was created for previously where attempts to sign in to my google account continually redirect to a request to clear cache and cookies. Have done so multiple times, still can't log in. Can log in on Chrome so definitely a Firefox-specific issue.

We have resolved an issue with Google prompting users to ‘clear cookies and site data’ when logging in. A fix has been published, via Firefox remote settings that does not require a Firefox upgrade. Users will receive the update over the next 6hrs, if you would like to update immediately simply restart Firefox.

Note: The issue was related to CHIPS being enabled in Fx131, this feature has been temporarily disabled while we resolve the issues. Users who have disabled 'Allow Firefox to install and run studies' in Privacy & Security settings will need to enable to receive the update.

I am really excited by the possibility of a built in VPN on Firefox.

However I logged in to UK BBC Channel 5 and tried to view a programme,

I was able to browse content but as soon as I pressed Play for the first series of the drama the provider picked up that I was using a VPN and shut me down.

Is this a teething problem ans will it likely be fixed?

I used to have many more icons on my toolbar. Since having to upgrade to Windows 11, the individual toolbar icons are huge! I can only get 6 on my toolbar, whereas on Windows 10 I have at least 11. Having to scroll down the bookmark list is time consuming and frustrating.

Suggestions?

My Firefox crashed and one of my windows with a bunch of tabs was lost. I have a bunch of windows open for dedicated sorting of tabs (one for socials, one for videos, etc). Earlier, my Firefox crashed and it attempted to restore my session but did not restore one specific window I had. I looked in the "History > Recently Closed Windows" and it was not there either. This specific window had a bunch of work related things on it and while I can sift through my history and re-open each tab individually and rebuild it that way, that's really frustrating and time consuming. Is my window just lost now?

I’m using the latest stable Firefox package from the official Mozilla repository for Ubuntu, on a system with 32GB of RAM.

I’m also using Microsoft Teams for work calls, in the browser (because Linux) and I notice that Ubuntu has killed the FF process twice last week because it was using too much memory - see attached image. I’ve only had 4 or 5 Teams calls last week so this isn’t a great success rate. It seems that after half an hour or so, FF has hogged so much memory that the OS feels the need to kill it.

If this is a known issue: are there any known workarounds?

If this is not a known issue :Can I help by providing troubleshooting data? How?

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to edit my payment method with Directv.com. I log in with no issues. However, every time I try to access "edit payment" their website automatically logs me out. After a discussion with them, they blame Firefox for the problem and want me to use a different browser. Is it Firefox or is it their website?

I have attached a screen shot so you can see where if I click I get logged out.
