I-Firefox Community Forum

I've been using google messages for web in firefox for some time. I'd pair firefox and pin the tab. Works great. However, with a new laptop the messages for web tab/page will not auto update as it does on other computers and I have to manually reload the page for it to show the updated messages. I'm not sure the cause or settings that would be needed to allow it to query the server for rcs/sms updates.

I updated Firefox to version 138 yesterday(29rd April). I use latest stable version of Linux Ubuntu. Sites itself will work, but top of browser wont. Can click open new tab from +-button, but can't close it.

Browser stops reacting to mouse clicks when browsing (after hours of browsing) and I have to use right-click to navigate on sites.... until I restart browser. I tried to close tab and refresh tab when these problems occurred. Also, this occurs on all sites.

I think this is clearly browser problem(because clicked areas are on browser, not inside tabs), not problem in sites itself, because problem manifested itself after hours of browsing, not immediately.

Edit: I'm not well-versed enough to write Bugzilla-report. Also in 138.0.1-1 version, where I updated 3rd May 2025.

Edit 2: I've added picture of area that stops working. Edit 3: On another picture, can't close "Archaeology" tab, no matter what. Edit 4: Clarified things up.

For the last 2-3 day I have been experiencing a box that asks for my signature each time I go to a new website. I can't move the box. I can't screenshot it. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?

I tried to login to k9data.org. This is a re-write of a product I've used for years. So far as I can tell, others are now using the new version. When I login the screen clears and shows entry into a url called ff.newtabsearch.net. It claims to be a new addon for Firefox. However, following the instruction, I get in a loop and there is no indication that any addon was installed.

No idea if this is the right topic or not but I've been dealing with this frustrating issue where with some websites it just loads a blank white screen. I've tried every fix I could that I've seen on forums like this as well as on Reddit and nothing I've tried has fixed it. From launching in Safe Mode or changing things in about:config. Before finishing this post I tried launching in safe mode, so my add-ons and plugins are disabled and it still persists with websites loading in these blank white screens. I never had this issue at first and I'm sure it started to happen after an automatic update a while back.

I need this issue sorted out so I can look and compare items from shops but most of the time a website that works and I look at it elsewhere I'm dealing with this issue. No issue looking at stuff on the internet on my phone, though I do use safari instead on my phone.

Today I've noticed some horizontal lines on youtube videos. Upon further investigation, I've traced it to a single div element:

The base64 encoded image is the lines I'm seeing.

Initially after starting a new private session and navigating straight to youtube.com I had no lines. Then in that private session same element doesn't have an image:

What's odd about this is if I opened a private window and copy pasted the same video URL I would get the lines. After testing multiple times I started getting the lines even after navigating straight to youtube.com.

So I did another test: changed my IP with a VPN in a private session. Navigated straight to youtube.com, watched multiple videos without any lines. Then I logged in to my account and boom, the lines are back...

Opening the same video on google chrome browser I get a smooth gradient line image:

The browser is functioning as intended, but youtube is intentionally making their website unusable. What the f###? I have youtube premium, adblocker disabled on their website.

For some days now the Guardian (UK journal) website can't be loaded. It's specific for Guardian, I have no such problems with other sites, and I don't have this problem with Guardian with Chrome. I've erased cookies and caches, restarted my computer, to no avail. I'm using version 146.6.0 of Firefox on MacBook Pro 2020 with Sequoia 15.7.1.

For weeks now google translate has not been working as it should, when I translate something it usually defaults to translating it to English, but if I change the language to any other than English it still only shows the English translation (or whatever language it got "stuck" on).

I have signed out and in of my google account, have the latest version of Firefox (134.0.2), refreshing the pages doesn't help. I don't have this issue in other browsers.

I have forgotten the purpose of the green outline around the page's border. What does it do and how to turn on, after turning it off. Thanks in advance. Let me know if this is an extension or some other feature. Thanks, JJE

For awhile now I have trouble completing purchases on some websites when using Firefox. I need to open another browser like Edge to complete the transaction. Anything using "Shop with Visa" doesn't work and, for example, I just had to buy tickets on StubHub through a regular credit card submission. I bought them 4 times, got confirmation, and then had the order cancelled because it didn't go through. I called my credit card and was on with StubHub tech support. The final solution was to open Edge and make the purchase and it went through and I had the tickets a minute later. I'm now having the same issue trying to make a reservation at a restuarant through sevenrooms.com Its been sitting on the confirmation page for several minutes. I went into edge and made the reservation and it was confirmed with 30 seconds.

Hi team, I have created a web application using angularJs(angualr 1) and html in which a web page displays google map.it is working perfectly when we open in Firefox and chrome browse. I have created a wpf window application using .net framework 4.6.1 and embedded geckofx control to render web pages from web application .Issue is that google map is not rendering in the gecko browser embedded in wpf application , Although other contents/element except google map components of the same page are getting displayed in the geocko embedded wpf control(WindowsFormsHost). But when we open the same page in Firefox browser ,it is working fine. It seems like the issue might be related to how Geckofx handles certain JavaScript or rendering features required by Google Maps. Is there any configure or setting that is require to be set in geckofx to get the google map displayed ? or is there anything which is not supported by geckofx ?

After a recent system update (Windows 10, Mozilla Firefox, Yahoo Mail+, ???) I can no longer find the Send button on my Yahoo Mail+. It works fine on my iPhone and works fine if I use Chrome (which I do not want to do), but when utilizing Firefox my Yahoo Mail+ no longer has a Send button for my emails. Can you help?

SOO! Mozilla is the browser BUT Outlook Hotmail is the messaging app. Did not know that. Assumed they were one in the same company. Over the years I somehow transitioned from Hotmail to Outlook which I assumed are one in the same. It appears my problem of inserting a picture into an email text lays with MS not Mozilla! How do I fix that? Can/should I switch to Mozilla Hotmail or is that automatically Outlook???

Inserting picture in email text does not work. When attempting to drag/Insert picture into email text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears. I have not been able to find a solution. The dragged/Inserted picture always ends up outside the email text box and cannot be moved into it. Firefox 133.03 64-bit is up to date on Windows 10.

Is there a MS forum like Mozilla??? I am not the only person having this problem.

I have had multiple sites ask me to disable my ad blocker. I can't find an ad blocker in my extensions. Badger, which I do have, says it is not an ad blocker! Some of these sites, such as Rotten Tomatoes, are sites I use frequently! Help!

I just wanted to both report the issues and double check with anyone else potentially experiencing the issue.

Problem: On high refresh rate monitors (mine is 240hz) I begin to see issues when scrolling and viewing videos. It's not necessarily screen tearing (I think) but it's especially prominent on YouTube where elements of the video appear across the whole screen in flashes as the video is playing. I've moved the browser to other monitors that are 60hz and the flashing disappeared. I even tried on incognito mode and it still appears. I've restarted the browser and even my computer but the issue persist. I've even tried other browsers but the issues is only on Firefox.

On some of my websites information is blocked. For example on my main bank site I can sign in to the site but all of my banking information is blocked so there is no account information. On my VA website I have a similar situation with information being blocked. for example I go to the messenger section and cannot see or write messages.
