Hello, ever since I upgraded MacOS to 15.3.1 and Firefox to 135.0.1 the top menu bar seems to disappear. I do not know which is the culprit, but on MacRumors (https://www.macrumors.com/) you'll find several others with the same experience.

My personal observation is that it seems to happen on various Silicon hardware (tried 3) and when multiple tabs are active.

The bug is no showstopper, but to proceed you got to click on the (invisible) menu bar in the upper left. Thanks for reading.

JOOP!

I noticed that using some websites like Crunchyroll (watching a video) or Spotify (just opening the site) cause my screen to go black.

I tried disabling the hardware acceleration setting but this creates a new issues, it causes screen tearing. So it is not an option. I have fully reinstalled the GPU and its drivers but the issue is the same.

The only thing that seems to work besides restarting my PC is to unplug and plug back the displayport cable. This happens every time I turn on my computer and use firefox. If I'm lucky, the flickering/black screen will go back to normal after a few minutes, If not, I have to restart. Seems like this happens only once everytime I turn back on my PC

I have also tried turning "media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled" to false in about:config but this just did nothing.

I'm trying to find a fix for this without changing my main browser.

This are my PC specs: AMD ryzen 5 3500x 3.59ghz Win 10 64bits 16gb ram GPU Nvidia geforce 4060ti

firefox up to date: 135.0.1 (64-bit)

Hello I've been a Firefox user for decades; recently a problem suddenly appeared that I'd never encountered before; I mentioned it to you but you didn't see fit to reply. I have twice 'repaired' Firefox, to no avail. After hours of Internet research, I've discovered the nature of the problem: it's called FirefoxCP Isolated Web Content. According to the many forums I've consulted, you're perfectly aware of it. So I don't understand : - why you don't take the trouble to reply to a user with a problem. - and, above all, that you're perfectly aware of the problem and don't do everything in your power to solve it. As 'killing' an activity in my Mac's activity monitor every ten minutes is rapidly becoming unbearable, I'm going to have to change my browser, much to my chagrin. Farewell dear Firefox!

My twitch website tweaking, youtube tweaking then sometimes the home page is tweaking things are very glitchy and what not. i love firefox cz its open source but these wearid issues kinda make me always switch back to chrome from time to time

I am seeing a new problem with the latest Firefox version 370.0.2 (aarch64).

When I try to load a link, Firefox seems to go into a sort of "spasm" with repeated attempts to load the link via multiple new web pages.

The link finally loads, however if the link is a login page I can get login failures due to multiple login attempts (e.g. Microsoft login fails authentication due to multiple attempts.)

Please can you help with this ASAP.

Many thanks AJ

I see this as a performance problem, and one that I'd hoped would be solved by now, since others brought it up in an Apple Forum.

When using iCloud Notes, the list always used to have empty circles/radio buttons to click on when done. They have all become black squares instead. Apparently this happened, according to a poster, with version 131.0. If so, it is still a problem with version 132.0.2, which I currently have.

Please see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255794426?sortBy=rank where this appears in the Apple Forum.

Hello,

I created a 1+-minute video on my YouTube channel and then posted it to my GoogleSite. But Firefox will not allow it to play because it is embedded from another site. Can you kindly help me understand how to get around this?

My goal is to create content on YT that only I can embed on my site. Yet it does not seem that there are options allowing for this. My desire is to share some wondrous FREE visual content AND to protect it by funneling it to my site.

Please know that I am not a techie as you most likely are, so your explanation is appreciated. And your assistance! Thank you. MC { yt is @ starbrightone7 } { website is wwwDOTharmoniccoherence.co ... the ABOUT page }

Several sites I use regularly (for instance, The Guardian) use recaptcha as part of the login process. It fails on Firefox, though I can log in on Chrome. I dislike Chrome, and prefer Firefox for several reasons, including that it is easier on my eyes. I note that there are many complaints describing the same thing that I experience: recaptcha fails to load, or there is simply a blue circle turning in perpetuity with nothing happening. I have removed recent cookies etc, but no change.

There are some sites that use recapcha that I can sign in on using Firefox with no problem. I am wondering if there are different versions of captcha? This started the same week both Microsoft and Firefox updated. Firefox has updated several times since then, but recaptcha is still nonfunctional: FF is not loading it, at least on some critical sites (perhaps the ones that use the most recent recaptcha?

I have reported this frequently for last several months. I notice that this is a continuing problem for many people. Why is it not fixed?

I believe there is a memory leak (or memory growth) bug in Firefox 133.0 on Windows 10. It's site-specific. I am trying to login to my account at https://www.ssa.gov/, and it never actually gets to the login prompt. Using the Windows task manager, I can see the RAM usage keeps increasing, until it nears the 12 GB installed RAM capacity, at which time I kill the firefox process. I'd say this is a bug in ssa.gov, except the problem does not occur with the google chrome browser.

To provide further detail, I go to site https://www.ssa.gov/, and click on the "sign in" button. That takes me to the page where you choose the login method (id.me or login.gov) and I choose "id.me". It takes me to the "you are leaving Social Security's website " message, which is still on the ssa.gov website. At that point, firefox memory usage starts to increase, as shown in task manager. The browser never advances to the next page, but main memory usage keeps going up. This goes on for about 30 seconds before I have to kill the firefox process.

In daily work tasks, I end up with a large number of windows and tabs open. I am wondering if this is not adding to my extremely slow recovery of frozen tabs and windows and MANY instances of "Non-Responsive" everyday. Firefox is set to allow multiple processes, naturally, but I'm looking for ways to ease the pain here. If I disable Multiple Processes in Firefox v138.0.1, will I have problems running, for example, 5 windows with a total of 30 tabs spread across those Windows? (God knows I don't wanna have to grow up and actually manage the things I open up for stuff.) In addition, I am running Canva, sometimes Paint 3D, and Office 2021 concurrently. An associated question........in this most recent Firefox, how do I run Multiple processes, but limit the number of them to 5, for example? There used to be a setting in Firefox to do that, but I can't find it. I'm working with Windows 11-v24H2 on a Dell Inspiron 17 with an Intel Core i7-8550U CPU (about 7 years old) and 16Gb of Ram.........and sometimes I fall asleep waiting for many tabs, windows, and instances of Office 2021 to come back to work (I'm thinking they signed a Union deal, and didn't tell me about it.).

This has been going on and getting progressively worse for about 3-4 months.

Advice? Suggestions? I'd be truly grateful for any ideas you got.

1. some webpages extremely slow loading while others are fine. All load fine on Chrome. Why? Particularly true with https://www.tab.com.au/ that I use 2-3 times a week. In Chrome it's immediate connect.

2. cannot sign in to my members account on (eg) Choice but easy on Chrome. Why?

Love Firefox when it works but I'm getting so frustrated. Seriously considering going back to Chrome - reluctantly.

Also so many website/page freezes & non responses over last ~3 months. Grrrr
