Firefox start crashing after the recent update, I use trial and error and figured it's specifically Youtube. Browsing on other sites, even watching videos from other sites has cause zero issues so far. All my recent crashes all states: "EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT"

my last three recent reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/4728ddd7-dac7-40a0-89d0-823fa0241008 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6b646b7c-bc88-44a9-9d57-4b6360241008 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/2db09a8d-e049-4753-a9dd-9a4750241007

i host diablo_web_simple on my root running nginx when i use chrome it only loads the chunks of diabdat.mpq once -> then loads them from cache when using firefox it always loads the chunks and doesnt use cache -> this results in slower load and less performance

diabdat.mpq = ~270mb chunksize = between 1-7mb combined chunksize of loading game: ~65mb

i already set in about:config browser.cache.check_doc_frequency 2

i also set headers for caching this file in nginx

nothing works pls help

Why does hitting my Home button open another tab? It's irritating and unnecessary. How do I make it stop?

For that matter, Why can't I open a new tab with my home page already open? I want Duckduckgo. You are bullying me into a blank page or a Firefox page. I used to have a choice.

What?: Using screensharing option in Google Meets stuns computer. Where?: Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) macOS 15.1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Google Meet meeting. 2. Click Share screen. 3. Select "Use operating system settings" - this is the only option available 4. Click Allow. Current behaviour: The screensharing feature stuns the computer, showing the loading mouse cursor for ever. I can't select the screen I want to share. The computer is unusable even after quitting Firefox. The computer should be restarted. Desired behaviour: The screensharing works normally.

My laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad220s) did an automatic Windows 11 update (I believe it was the 2H24 update). After that Firefox (version 133, 64 bit) would only open with the message "Gah. Your tab just crashed". Nothing I tried has worked, not any of the remedies found in support pages. I somehow did a Firefox software update and it shows as a separate icon and has not migrated any of the passwords and bookmarks I had in the software version that keeps crashing (my default browser). Trying to get access to the encrypted passwords to the many sites I've got with Firefox I opened the browser in troubleshooting mode. In this mode I have access to all the passwords saved over time, and the browser seems to work fine.

Any suggestions on what I need to fix or if this is related to the Windows update? I'd like not to have to go through the two-step process to use the browser.

Thanks!

I used goggle meet 3 times today. The first time, it worked just fine. The second time, worked even better than the first. The third time it says I don't have a camera even though it worked earlier. I can't seem to figure it out! I have let all the permissions allow my camera but it still won't work...

I just spent three hours trying to troubleshoot a recording playback problem on my Arlo Pro 4 Cameras with Arlo Support. After trying several different potential solutions, we were able to resolve the issue. Without going into too much detail, we were able to determine it was the browser. The Cameras were able to play back as expected in both Microsoft Edge browser and Apple Safari browser. Technical support at Arlo has in their documentation that HEVC is not supported in Firefox. Anyone know about this?

My Firefox version is current 131.0.2 (64-bit)

Some Firefox option is adblocking some links in Publishers Clearing House emails. The same emails work OK in Safari. There are no adblockers (now or ever installed) on this Mac. It's not the end of the world for me but it should be fixed for possible future use.

Firefox has stopped obeying target="_blank"

Started a month or so ago.

Take a look at Firefox target="_blank" problem for details.

There is not a topic in the dropdown list that remotely addresses this issue so I just selected Performance and Connectivity for the hell of it.

I get PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR when trying to load certain websites. I don't use any proxy or VPN, I tried disabling DoH. Also sometimes i get 403 forbidden cloudflare.

I have a 1848ETC-HST data logger from Real Time Automation on an isolated network that does not support HTTPS but Firefox keeps changing it to HTTPS. I tried a private window with the same results. HTTPS-Only Mode is disabled. I entered an exception even though it should not need it. It was working in Firefox at one time and it still works with safari and chrome.

When open Google Drive using Firefox, I cannot click on any documents. I can open folders but the documents in these folders I cannot open. I can open Google Docs and then access documents but all documents through Google Drive including in the Shared Folder are greyed out and when I click on any of these I get the pop up "This file cannot be opened because you're offline." I can access Google Drive and its documents using Chrome. I would prefer to use Firefox.

I have updated Firefox, cleared the history, and emptied cache and cookies. I also logged out of and then back into my gmail account.

The image shows what the drive looks like when opened in Firefox.

Firefox consumes almost 2Gb of RAM with only one tab open. I find this surprising, and it's a major performance issue for me.

Do you have an explanation or solutions to reduce this memory overconsumption?

After yesterday's update, I'm not able to access files in Google Drive using Firefox on Windows. They're greyed out, and when I try to open one, a pop up informs me "This file can't be opened because you're offline." I'm certainly online, and it works on Chrome (ugh). Anyone else experiencing this?

Been using Firefox since the 90s, on macbookAir since 2010s, Firefox is my only preferred browser.

But this glitch has been happening for many years, and I just don't understand why Firefox don't fix it.

I frequently reboot my Firefox (generally by Force Quit, sometimes by quit/X-ing out.

Inevitably, when I reopen Firefox, the previous tabs don't open... that is, until I hit the "trouble resorting pages" button, followed by full restoration of tabs.

Can we just skip the "didn't work" button, and just get it to work?

At some point in the last few weeks -- possibly after an upgrade -- I've noticed that some websites such as the Washington Post and Fidelity can take minutes rather than seconds to load. The problem doesn't seem to be with the sites themselves (because they load fine on Chrome) or with my hardware (because exactly the same thing happens on both of my computers). Has anyone else noticed this?

( I'm running Firefox 131.0.3 on Windows.)

Something new: Last week when loading titantv.com Firefox crashed. Repeatedly. Sometimes before page completely loaded. Sometimes after loading and scrolling down page. Continues to crash every time I try to load that page.

Submitted latest crash report. Submitted report ID: bp-f9834b70-7d8c-492e-9728-da19b0241001

Don't know how to interpret reports.

I have a Dropbox Paper document that I use for my bookmarks. It lists the name of the site (with link attached) and hints as to my username/password for any given site I use.

For years, it has worked just fine, but trying to solve a different problem, something happened (in my settings?) that renders those hyperlinks non-working. When I click on, say Facebook, it formerly took me right to FB. NOW it gives me a weird yellow box in the upper right corner that says "about:blank" in the upper left of the box, and 3 white boxes at the lower right of the yellow box "Allow" "Deny" "Close." If I click on "Allow," I get a blank page. My navigation doesn't seem to recognize the links I've placed in the Doc.

A friend on FB posted a link to a YouTube video and when I clicked on that, I got the yellow box with the proper URL and a white box option to continue. I've tried to recreate that particular box, but, apparently, once it's accepted, it's OK from there on out.

I have tried deleting the link from the Paper Doc and reinstating it, and I still get the yellow box.

What have I done and how the heck do I get rid of that yellow box?
