I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

This has been asked here before but I've tried EVERYTHING that was offered that time, none worked.

I've used Firefox since the start, and before, I used Netscape in the 90s. I'm ready to move to another browser forever if I can't fix this. Can anyone help please?

Only thing that worked was dumb workaround of changing my Home URL from https://www.google.com (which takes about 60 seconds to do a search) to https://www.google.com/search?q=BipTunia

The second works. (Was the last search I'd done, it worked, so I used it. Works fast if I delete the word it puts in the search field, do my new search and hit Enter)

I'm on Win 10, latest version (117). Fast computer, no viruses. All other programs closed.

Search on main Google URL works fine with same Google account on other browsers, not Firefox.

I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THESE (WITH NO JOY), plus rebooting Firefox every times;

--Cleared all cache, data and cookies. --Reset Firefox --Tried Firefox in Safe Mode --Signed in with different Google account. --Signed out of Google account. --Reinstalled Firefox --Tried with and without Hardware Acceleration on --Changed default Firefox Theme

Hi, I'm having this problem of videos not playing in some websites for a long time now, not even sure how long anymore. It started on Twitter, where I get the error message "The media could not be played". Some time after I got it on Instagram where I get the message "Sorry, we're having trouble with playing this video. Learn More". More recently I subscribed to the Nebula service and got a message there as well "The media could not be loaded". Differently from other people I don't have this problem on Youtube, over there everything has always been fine. I have tried every workaround on this, I have seen many tutorial videos and articles and tried everything and nothing worked. Running on Windows 10

Some things I have tried: -cleared cookies and cache; -disabled all add-ons, removed them even; -checked if firefox was updated; -checked if graphics card drives were updated; -opened websites on incognito mode, nothing changed there; -started Firefox in troubleshoot mode, nothing changed there; -disabled graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox; -enabled autoplay; -reset firefox; -changed my pc actually, installed firefox, got the error and reset firefox again;

Could anyone help me with this? Is this normal?

I tried every solution posted and then I uninstalled and then wiped Firefox. Nothing helped. It seemed the picture would not sync or just freeze with the sound still playing. I came across an old post to change media.mediasource.enabled. Mine was already set on true. When I changed it to false it solved the problem.

I don't know why, but since today firefox keeps reloading all my tabs I have open every couple of minutes. It happens on both my desktop and laptop and its getting annoying. I also disabled the auto refresh in config, along with clearing the cache. I uninstall the plugins that I installed last week, and still happens.

Using Firefox 117.0 (64 bit) with Windows 10 Pro 22H2, I have www.google.co.uk set as the home page. Whenever I use the homepage search box to enter a search term, Firefox stalls for about 10 seconds before showing the search results. Selecting any search results opens the relevant page straightaway. Subsequent new searches using either the search box at the top of the results page or the home page again also has the 10 second delay. Using the search box in the Menu Bar does not have this delay - the results are shown straightaway. This has been happening for the past two weeks or so and using the previous version of Firefox. I've been using Firefox for many years and have never had this problem. Chrome works fine. I've tried all the "solutions" found on the internet, refreshed Firefow, tried a new profile, troubleshoot mode, etc, without any change. Also, within the past 24 hours, I can no longer open www.screwfix.com - with www.screwfix.com in the address bar, I get a completely white page without any error message. Screwfix opens fine with Chrome on this machine and with Firefox on Android tablet and phone. Please can you help with this. I'm in the UK. Thanks

Hi,

I've noticed since the latest update, when click on a link or search for something, there is a delay.

Is there anything I can do but it doesn't happen to all sites but annoying.

This doesn't happen with Chrome.

Hiya. I usually have a fairly large number of tabs open on the browser. I use the Panorama View add-on for tab management. Usually this means that on any given container I have about 10-20 tabs open for a total of some 300 odd tabs. The nice thing is that Firefox doesn't usually load all my tabs so this works out for me. Recently however something weird's been going on and Firefox just refreshed ALL my tabs across all the containers. This kills my performance completely, especially given a fair number of tabs are just random youtube links. When all my tabs are open Firefox eats up like 25 GB of RAM, which is understandably not great.

I tried refreshing Firefox to no avail. Is there any way to stop this constant loading of all tabs?

Hi

Property listings from the site www.realestate.com.au seem to have an issue loading the map in the latest update.

I usually do my searches with the below filters but am getting the attached error. https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/property-house-with-3-bedrooms-between-500000-1200000/map-1?numParkingSpaces=2&misc=ex-under-contract&boundingBox=-27.383978390981,152.91747024644357,-27.471055349397094,153.13719680894357&source=refinement&sourcePage=map&sourceElement=location-tile-search

Individual property pages are also showing that the map could not be loaded: eg. https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-wa-scarborough-142778884

I'm running version 117. I've tried clearing cache/cookies already. Issue is also happening on my macbook running the same version. Other browsers are displaying the maps as intended.

Thanks!

My Firefox keep "freezing" when I press enter in Google Search. Firefox doesn't freeze since I can still scroll up and down, and I can still access my other tabs. I tried the other solutions suggest on reddit or firefox fourms, but nothing works.

I reinstalled, reset the profiles, deleted all extensions and nothing works.

When i go to open a PDF file with Firefox, the text renders incorrectly (see image) for most PDF files, but not all (i'm not sure why. And this only happens with the Flatpak version of Firefox [1]. It doesn't happen with Firefox ESR (DEB version from my distribution) [2] and it doesn't happen if i view the same PDF file with pdf.js in a non-Firefox Flatpak app (GNOME Web) [3].

I've tried reinstalling and tried starting in troubleshoot mode, but neither seemed to fix the issue.

[1]:

• Name: Firefox
• Version: 117.0
• Distribution ID: mozilla-flatpak

[2]:

• Name: Firefox
• Version: 102.15.0esr
• Distribution ID: BLANK (preinstalled with Debian Linux 12)

[3]:

• Name: GNOME Web (Flatpak)
• Version: 44.6

Hello, Since i updated to firefox 117 im having this isue.

I have an HTML in a local ngix server, that pulls camera feed from 2 diferent ZoneMinder servers. Super simple HTML that works OK in ver 116 (i also downgraded to test)

I couldnt find a value in about:config that re enables this.

It seems firefox is not displaying images that are located in a diferent IP Address than the main html. It displays the images correctly if the html is in the same server than the camera feed, but since i have 2 diferent image sources, i cant make it work that way.

Firefox Nightly is not displaying the images also.

any ideas? something to try?

Thanks in advance, Nicolas

Every time I restart Firefox, places.sqlite which is currently 105MBs changes to only 5MBs and a new file named places.sqlite.corrupt appears. If I open Firefox, all my history is gone. If I rename the .corrupt file to places.sqlite my history comes back. I want to know why it gets corrupted? It happens when Firefox closes and it doesn't matter if there's a power cut, closing with X , or Exit, Firefox restarts and I have to rename the places.sqlite.corrupt file again. This has been happening for almost two years now. My computer stays on 24/7 and I may restart it once every 2-3 months, but sometimes you have to restart it many times a day because of issues and it's a pain in the behind to rename the places.sqlite.corrupt every single time. Any ideas?! Could an add-on be affecting it? I don't have a lot of them. Just basic AdBlocks.

Thank you.

Firefox 117.0 Windows 10

When using Google search the screen locks and the cpu goes high. After approx 45 seconds the results are displayed. This does not happen using DuckDuckGo as the search engine. Google search is fine in Pale Moon and Edge. I have attached screen prints of the Firefox screen (the connection circle is constantly rotating during the 45 seconds) and a screen shot of Task Manager. This has only started happening since updating to 117 yesterday.

Thank you

Hi, Various Sites (sometimes firefox as a whole) keep crashing regularly. I am running Arch Linux (6.4.12, default kernel) with Hyprland WM on an old i7-7700K with a Nvidia GTX980TI. Apart from Firefox the system runs stable. When doing research, or just browsing text based sites, firefox is also very stable, but on some sites like twitch, youtube, or idle games like "Antimatter Dimensions" (ivark.github.io) the browser (or page) crashes regularly. It also happens in Troubleshoot mode, also after a clean re-install (including deleting /.mozilla in /home) and since various versions over the last couple of month. The latest crash report ID is bp-67ed2673-4ed2-452b-bc63-dc1060230831. I know I'm running a niche system, but I really like my setup and apart from those crashes it's amazing, so I hope you can help and point me in the right direction as to what could cause the crashes. Thanks for your time. KR, rehajel

Hi,

Has anyone experience any issue with the latest Firefox release (v117.0) where an embeded js script(s) within the form tags printed out in the UI?

I.e. embedded js script within the form tags <form name="input" id="testForm" action="{$url}" method="post" target="_top">

     <script type="text/javascript">
           $(document).ready(function(){ 
                $("#imageLink").click(function() { 
                    var eobImageUrl = $.trim(""); 
                     var externalFileName = "";
                }
          });
          ....
        </script>

</form>

And this is what displaying on the webpage instead of a blank page:

$(document).ready(function(){ $("#imageLink").click(function(){ var eobImageUrl = $.trim(""); var externalFileName = ""; ...

Thanks. kear.

Hello, Firefox friends!

I'm having some issues with Firefox on my Ubuntu system and I'm really hoping someone can help me fix them.

   Problem with Downloads: When I try to download something and click on a link, a new tab opens. But then it immediately closes and nothing downloads.

   Button Issues: Some buttons within Firefox just don't seem to work.

I've tried a few things already:

   Checked for Firefox and Ubuntu updates
   Ran Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode
   No antivirus because I'm on Ubuntu

If anyone has faced similar issues or knows how to fix this, please help!

Thank you so much!

My M-1 MacBook Pro has been running warm since I installed Firefox 116.0.3 (64-bit).

EtreCheck Pro reports that "plug-in container.app" is a runaway process.

When I show package contents for Firefox, I can see "plug-in container.app" in the MacOS folder.

Will there be an update soon to correct this problem? Firefox is my primary browser. I work in the SaaS industry and have to run a browser 24/7.

On some webpage, I experience delay response when I trying to search sometime. For example, in Google homepage after typing something or even gibberish the page froze and not responding for about 10 second but the browser is still functioning (meaning I can still move other tabs or open option). Once that 10s delay is over, it responded with my result. And something when I when to search back something again(not in the homepage), more of the time is response back fast like 0.2s but other time the same 10s delay. This problem also happens in some other website but not all in their search bar. I have try in safe mode. disable all my extension, reinstall Mozilla Firefox, check any windows update and such. Also other browser does not have this problem such as chrome and brave. If this problem still persisting then I would such to other browser but prefer not to as I quite fond of Firefox. Thanks for your help in advance.

Firefox 116.0.3 (64-bit) do not paste in whatsapp web and other applications exemple I copy an image and want to past it in whatsapp web nothing but it work in brave browser...
