I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi!

Yesterday, April 5, 2025, my Firefox started displaying this message for every search typed in the browser:

"Our systems have detected unusual traffic on your computer network. This page verifies that it is really you, and not a robot, sending the requests. Why did this happen?"

I tried a few solutions: I cleared the cache, restored Firefox, reinstalled Firefox, restarted the internet modem, reset the computer's DNS using the ipconfig/flushdns command, scanned for malware with Windows Defender, and scanned for viruses and malware with Kaspersky, but the problem persists, both in the normal tab and in the private tab.

I contacted my internet provider, and they said there is no problem on their side.

In Firefox, I always use the default search engine "Google".

When I change the search engine to "Bing", the problem does not occur.

The problem does not occur in the Google Chrome browser, only in Firefox.

I am using Firefox 115.22.0esr (64-bit), Windows 7 operating system and internet connection via network cable. I only have one computer connected and I don't use VPN.

Please, can you help me?

Thank you!

I try to connect to gpx.studio and I get the message

"WebGL 2 is required to display the map."

then "Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL2, it is disabled or unavailable"

However, when I connect to the same site with Chrome everything works and the map is displayed.

What can I do ? Is it a problem of graphic card blocked by Firefox ?

Ive been told that firefox does not support https://web.minidisc.wiki/ (Web minidic pro) and only google chrome does. I hate google chrome. how difficult would it be for firefox to support usb devices like a minidisc recorder player. I guess its down to drivers or some form of plug in? Could firefox be made to support my minidisc or is it too much of a security/software performance issue? Cheers Mark

When trying to access the Tax Withholding Estimate at IRS: https://apps.irs.gov/app/tax-withholding-estimator it will not work in Firefox. I get this message: "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)." I don't understand how to interpret the console messages.

I get the message after filling out the "Information about you" page and clicking NEXT. Website works without issue in Google Chrome.

Is there a setting I have clicked in Firefox that is breaking the website or is the website to blame?

Using Firefox 128.6.0esr with no extensions installed.

Chrome seamlessly harmonizes with the PowerToys FancyZones feature in Windows 11. In Chrome, I can drag a tab out of a browser window, and instantly snap it into a FancyZone. I can also quickly arrange multiple separate Chrome windows into FancyZones without issue.

Firefox's interaction with FancyZones is not good. When I drag a tab out of a window, it doesn't allow me to snap it into a FancyZone. I first need to release left click, allowing the tab's new window to appear, then I can snap that window into a FancyZone.

The biggest occurs when I have multiple Firefox windows open and snap one of them into a FancyZone. Often, one of the open Firefox windows will spontaneously shrink itself in size. When I try to manually resize the window back to normal, it shrinks further and further, until it is an invisible sliver. The only solution when this occurs is to fully restart Firefox.

It seems strange that Firefox has such poor compatibility with FancyZones, which is growing in popularity along with other productivity tools in PowerToys. Wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues, if there is any workaround, or if there is a fix being worked on.

Hello

With the new update to Firefox v137 I am no longer able to sign in to Government sites using my bank as a sign in partner. Google Chrome will sign in so it has something to do with the new update. I have cleared cache and all data and still no luck with the sign in. Any help would be appreciated because Firefox has been my default browser for years and I'm not interested in changing.

I can no longer open my gmail in firefox. I need to open chrome to load my gmail and I never use chrome. So why can't I load gmail into my firefox account. Everything else is loaded except my gmail.

When I go to Messenger the Voice and Video icons at the top right are greyed and when hovering over the icons, I get a message that video calling etc is not supported. i had no trouble on my other computer but am not sure how to activate the video and voice options. Can you please help me solve this issue. Thank you

Hi Everyone,

I'm using the latest version of firefox 137.02 (64bit) I think it updated when the other day "checked for updates"

I was calling up someone on facebook messenger (app) only last Sunday and everyone was fine today the same deal I get this message as attached.

All the camera privacy options are on to "allow" and still it won't fire up.

When I open up Google Chrome it works fine.

Any Ideas on this please?

I'm no longer able to play Youtube videos on Firefox. I've tried everything from re-starting laptop (this worked initially) to refreshing/updating Firefox browser as well as clearing Firefox cache and cookies. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, MC [email removed]@aol.com

p.s. Youtube does work and play on my Edge browser

Why am I getting this message and how can I resolve the problem without switching to chrome?

This morning I went to check my email on gmail, and google asked me to sign in again. Easy, I thought. I entered my account, and then google asked for my passkey. Until this morning this meant that on my mac it would ask me to place my finger on the right key on the keyboard. This morning it just froze firefox indefinitely. I then tried on Safari, and it worked as expected. I checked the version of firefox: it's 136.0.1. Obviously something changed (i.e. broke!) with the new version. Has anybody else experienced this? Any suggested fixes?

I can only see 2 emojis on my Facebook items. I used to see 5 or 6 This is a recent problem I can see them all if I use another browser Why is this, and can you fix it? I like Firefox.

I am trying to sign-in to a site we use and when you hot sign-in the page goes blank white??

The site works on Microsoft Edge so I know its noit the site.

Please advise.

Hi, Some official/formal Websites refuse to accept my Firefox as an acceptable browser. I am using Firefox browser Ver. 136.0.2 (64-bit). According to you (in the browser) and to internet information it is the latest/the current version. An example of such a refusal from a website is from the DB/Deutsche Bahn official website, dated 24-03-2025: See uploaded image. As with other websites, they recommend other browsers or "the current version" of Firefox (even though I already have it installed). I then switch to Chrome and continue working without further problems. I would like to use Firefox though, but apparently cannot. I need advice. What am I doing wrong? Why is my current version of Firefox described as outdated? Thank you.
