I-Firefox Community Forum

As title says, whenever I'm scrolling through any website there's a lot of flickering, did some research and past "fixes" said to turn off smooth scrolling and hardware acceleration, which I tried but all it did was minimise the effects, this flickering has only been happening for the last day or so.

Firefox Developer Edition version - 139.0b1 (64-bit) Nightly version - 140.0a1 (2025-04-30) (64-bit)

Why cannot see Mozilla browser if I set it as a default browser?

Using Ubuntu: User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:134.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/134.0

When I type into Firefox www.gmail.com the message returned is "Looks like there’s a problem with this site https://searx.space/mail/u/0/ sent back an error. Error code: 404 Not Found

When I try to access Google Maps the message returned is "Looks like there’s a problem with this site https://searx.space/maps/place/Taman Bay/@45.3126101,36.7266254,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x40ee93c055efa761:0x94911e600ea680f6!8m2!3d45.2873681!4d36.7542667?hl=en sent back an error. Error code: 404 Not Found

When I try to access Google Translate the screen returned shows a listing of 74 online SearXNG instances.

What is going on? Why is Firefox pointing to SearXNG sites rather than Google? Grateful for advice of a fix. [I have eset Internet Security installed.] Unable to attach a screen shot at the moment - nothing will save just now as I have an eset scan running.

I can't print my gmails any longer after firefox update:

error: Grrr! A popup blocker may be preventing the application from opening the page. If you have a popup blocker, try disabling it to open the window.

The links in Washington Post articles do not work. For example a graphic in one article and the comments have not been working as well.

Thanks for checking into this.

A new problem..one I've never had before. I cannot connect to my Ally Bank site using Firefox. I looked at help pages but they just confuse me. Can you give me info ( step by step if necessary) that will get me to Ally? .

I often use Restore Previous Session to get back all the tabs (5-15) I was using. The last two times I clicked it, Firefox immediately shut down, and then when I opened up, the 'Restore Previous Session' option was greyed out.

The first time, I was able to find the sites again on "Show All History," but the second time, it had wiped out my WHOLE history.

What's going wrong? What can I do to fix it? I know nothing about the inner workings of computers. Nothing.

Firefox is the only program on my computer which struggles with connecting to the internet for some reason, other browsers and programs work fine. Everything times out, even the update checker in settings. It opens local files without issue. It started 7+ days ago, i have tried doing everything on the "firefox doesn't load internet pages in, other browsers do" but it didn't change anything.

Hello dear community! My firefox keeps crashing when trying to open a tab or close a tab. I can't replicate it since it happens on random tab-closing and tab-opening. I think it's just crashing when doing something like clicking anywhere and NOT when doing nothing while the system is idling. Thank you for your help! Here's a link of the crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/8ba8940e-954c-4e92-9153-0313d0241001

Mozilla Firefox 115.25.0 (x64 en-US) won’t close since my previous version was updated on 6/29/25. I have tried closing it in my Win7pro Task Manager on several occasions, and had even tried to uninstall and then reinstall it from my “Programs and Features” menu, but I keep getting a message that the program can’t be uninstalled until it is first closed. Nothing I do fixes this problem. HELP

I can no longer open Nordstrom.com website, Chewy.com website, and now Costco.com websites? I even changed passwords on those accounts but firefox will no longer open. It just sits there doing nothing when i sign in, even if i disable the shield? Why and why are more and more websites doing this on Firefox yet Google Chrome allows me to, so i have to open Google Chrome to be able to get to websites i used to open on Firefox. Please Fix as this is Very Annoying!!!

Have an app with a web interface that I used for years, but not with several of the latest versions of FF. Chrome, Edge, and DuckDuckGo all show the page as expected and the page functions properly.

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8384/ Error looks like this:

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:[port number].

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Have tried a large number of things including:

Ping works for ip and hostname, v4 and v6 Confirmed address is accessible through other browsers Disabled extensions Added exceptions in Settings for HTTPS-only mode Various settings in about:config, careful to return them to previous states when they didn't fix the problem Tried Safe Mode (aka Troubleshoot Mode) Refreshed Firefox (as prompted before uninstalling)

My last step is to reinstall, but thought I'd ask here first. Has anyone seen this before?

McFee is trying to sell us computer protection. We have had Firefox for several years. I am now getting an alert to Turn On Firefox. How would it get turned off, and how do I turn it on without going through Mozilla's selling site?

Firefox has "Open previous windows and tabs" ticked in Settings. I had to force restart MacOS, and upon starting Firefox again my existing windows are invisible. They are shown in the Window menu and when right-clicking the Firefox icon in the MacOS dock, however when I select one of the windows it does not become visible. Command+` does not show the windows either.

I can however open new windows.

I tried renaming xulstore.json per this old article with no effect.

How can I make the existing windows visible again?

Firefox freezes when signing in/typing username during the Gmail sign-in. Since the V..0 release, Firefox crashes every time I sign in to Gmail. I have already disabled all add-ons and tried signing in in safe mode, but the issue persists. As soon as I start typing the third letter in the sign-in field, Firefox freezes.

I accidentally updated my email site password to the wrong one. Previously, I had the correct one saved in Mozilla, but the wrong one were overwritten and I lost access to my email account. Is it possible to recover the password from before it was overwritten with a new one? I have no other way to get to my email, it was created long time ago and I had no backup email connected to it. You are my only hope to recover it- I checked all other options. Please help my case. Thank you for your time dear support grand master.

I use a program called "URL Manager Pro" on the Mac to manage my bookmarks in all my browsers. Double clicking on a bookmark icon in URL Manager can open the URL in a new tab, the same tab, or a new window depending upon how I set the preferences in URL Manager Pro. This works fine in Safari. However, in Firefox, the website opens in a new tab regardless of how I set my preferences in URL Manager.

The author of URL Manager tells me the issue is a problem with how Firefox deals with AppleEvents. It's very annoying to accumulate so many unintended new tabs and then manually close them. Is this fixable in Firefox or is there a work around?

Thanks

I am experiencing significant performance problems in Mozilla Firefox when using certain AI-powered tools. Below are the specific issues:

   Flux AI & Diagramming AI Performance Warnings

       Issue: When accessing Flux AI or Diagramming AI tools, Firefox displays a warning message stating, "This site is slowing down Firefox."

       Observed Behavior:

           Delayed response times or freezing when interacting with these tools.

           High CPU usage (observed via Task Manager) when the tools are active.

       Expected Behavior: Smooth operation without performance degradation, as seen in other browsers (e.g., Chrome or Edge).

   CMS Sign-Out Failure

       Issue: Unable to sign out of my Content Management System (CMS). The action either freezes or refreshes without logging me out.

       Troubleshooting Attempted: Cleared cache/cookies, disabled extensions, tested in Safe Mode—issue persists.

   ChatGPT Menu Error

       Issue: Clicking the three-dots (⋮) menu in ChatGPT triggers an error instead of displaying options.

       Error Context: Mentions "Flux AI," suggesting a possible conflict or integration failure.
