I-Firefox Community Forum

When I start an email using the FF browser I'll type the address correctly but the text on the screen is gibberish. See attached photo. When I move the cursor to the subject line, the gibberish turns to plain text.

I can't copy it so I took a photo and attached it. I deleted Firefox and then reinstalled it. This did not fix the problem.

How do I fix this problem?

I have cleared my cache but I still cannot access the open pages from the task bar. Some are trying to load but don't. They also don't shut down at once when I press the x command. Some pages are working OK.

I reinstalled Firefox and imported my bookmarks from a .json file that I made on 5/19/26. Firefox imported them but I can only open a handful of them. I can't even open Google or Yahoo mail. One time I got a message on a page that didn't open that says "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker." I don't know how to disable JS and Google won't open so that I can find out how to do it. I have no ad blocker running.

Please let me know how this can be fixed.

I was having problems with overlays and somehow got to a page that allowed me to turn off overlays....I ignored the warning about some sites would not work properly and turned it on....now most sites do not work properly. I cannot find the page in setting to turn overlays back on. i have uninstalled and reinstalled with no results. I cannot find the page even on my other computers that i did not mess with. Where do i go to turn that switch back on?

on and off issue for a few months now. i dont know if its a firefox issue, a youtube issue, or something else about my laptop. everything says i have the latest update, maybe part of an update broke youtube, i dont know for sure but at this point i have to assume its firefox because it works fine in another browser and mobile app, but i highly prefer to use firefox

sometimes a video will play normally until i "interact" with it: if i have to pause, it wont unpause if i fast forward or rewind, audio will do so but the video will not. or vice versa if i click a different video, whether the current one is done or not, the new one might load 70-75% but not complete and just stay on the current video after any of these happen, the page is basically unresponsive; i can open a new tab but youtube will not open in that tab, but anything else works completely fine. if i close the tab or browser, there is a delay before it actually closes and sometimes the audio is still playing after the browser closes, in which case i can only restart my laptop entirely.

ive tried to reprt this to youtube but i dont trust it actually got to human support. i also tried the "report a broken site" in firefox the other day.

Well it never opens when I write ww. Wattpad. Com it's loads then says err timed out iver asked chatgpt and it suggested ask firefox so here I am do you think wattpad will work on Firefox cause it isn't working on Chrome Also I want to read the accardi obessions series

from the firefox desktop I cannot go to the selected web site nothing happens. But edge works normally I find that my memorised passwords do not work unless I use EDGE I am forced to enter the address of the web site manually but then I am not recognised as a regular client and have to my password safe but the passwords there do not match the current password for the site. Going back to EDGE removes the problems In desperation I thought I would uninstall EDGE but cannot all I can do is modify it which means refreshing it. What can I do ps I am using windows 10

Sites are now crashing because Firefox has "run out of disk space"

My most full drive is only 72% full and there are multiple other drives I could switch to with terabytes of spare storage. I also have plenty of indexes free, these are only 2% used.

But how? The solution page only offers advice for clearing cookies and data. I don't want to do that.

I have tried increasing dom.storage.default_cache and dom.storage.(I can't remember the exact syntax, but it was the site specific default cache), and I then tried killing and restarting chrome, but the issue persists and it means I can't run WhatsApp in my browser anymore, currently the only Linux WhatsApp solution.

It also affects multiple sites which struggle to load the css correctly, or crash altogether (the firefox help page and deepl.com)

I clicked the Facebook homepage shortcut instead of using my regular bookmark. The page eventually loaded to the login screen, which then led to a Captcha verification screen, and another, and another, etc., until I got back to the login. Whew! Okay. No, not okay, it prompted me to get a verification code by email. I entered the code to log in. It started again. Then again. Cleared cache, etc, restarted browser, all the usual, didn't help. I had to leave for work.

When I got home, I restarted my computer and reset the modem. I removed the homepage shortcuts. Used my regular Facebook bookmark and logged in. Why did this happen? I am now terrified of the Homepage Shortcuts! 🤡💀

When I log in to any forum, The address bar and the return circle with the clockwise arrow goes crazy and blinks off and on rapidly. All other sites work normal. I modified nothing. Yesterday it just kept on happening. Both computers are doing the same thing. Lenovo P520 Servers. The only way I can stop it is to kill the current tab.
