I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Firefox is frequently deleting entries made on websites. I am entering information in boxes (like this one) on websites when suddenly FF bails out, the data vanishes off the screen and leaves me back where I started. It happened several times attempting to post this question. This seems to have something to do with hitting a key or the space bar--but what and why eludes me. I have tried changing settings on trackpad and mouse without any impact. Although this is a recent issue with a new computer, the issue does not occur using the same computer on Chrome. Any ideas?

The following html inscription animates when clicked (the duck in the image quacks), but for some reason, the animation doesn't activate on http://ord.io with the firefox browser. I wanted to bring this to your attention because It works on http://ord.io with every other browser.

https://ord.io/61325815

In devtools when i search in all resources it takes 2+ minutes to find all of the matches, while chrome is near instant, same website. theres around 200 requests. On my laptop it completes faster though so im a little confused.

when I click on links to take me to website through my email in Thunderbird that I will get an error message that reads "we could not verify the certificate, reason=wronghost"

Do you get the error in Thunderbird or in the browser? What browser?

   But, if I copy link and copy into browser it works fine. 

Is that the same browser as the one which opens when you click the link in Thunderbird (a.k.a. your default browser)?

In answer to these questions: I use Chrome or Duck Duck Go. Duck Duck Go is my default browser. If I copy and paste link from email in browser it opens, but if I click on link in email I get the error message above. Also when you reply the email is a do not reply email so I can't reply back. Please include a good email so I can answer any questions you may have. Thank you

It is sort in the background like a page behind the main screen I am viewing but it causes Firefox to crash. I have seen other posts say disable hardware acceleration, but mine is disabled, others say disabled extension, but I only have ublock! It is not my graphics card as it is all up to date. My laptop is new 6 months old.

The PTL network stopped working for playing live tv, it's the only live broadcast I have trouble with, all other PTL network features work fine, it does not matter what performance setting is used.

Firefox 123.0 MacOS 13.6.3 Ventura

Firefox does not automatically create a new empty window on startup. Neither starting from "applications" nor clicking icon in the dock

Instead once has to right click the icon then click "New Window"

Why is it that the people who "improve" products are always dickering with the look and feel to no benefit to the user? Why suddenly does a new empty window not open? Fantastic job Mozilla. It takes me an hour or so to figure out how to even get a window with the default web page URL and then I have to perform forever after three clicks instead on one.

I have a suggestion. The next time you think about changing the look and feel: DON'T. It is just that simple. DON'T.

In a recent Firefox browser update, my ability to reference my home router by name via the Windows HOSTS file stopped. I can ping the router by name from a CMD window just fine but keying the name into Firefox now fails. Images show the two forms of failure - a 500 Error when DNS over HTTPS is enabled; a 'having problems' error with suggestion of www..com alternative when DNS over HTTPS is disabled. Neither is the least bit helpful.

I can't imagine what changed and I can't find a prior support response that gives any clear ideas.

When running a remote desktop connection, if the the remote computer has a web player running (YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, etc.) it will stop playback and audio will stop outputting from the remote computer.

However, you can hit play again on the web player and it will resume playing. But once you end your remote desktop connection the player will stop again and all audio or video output

There is a post here (https://mzl.la/3Pg6xU3) that stated you can change "security.sandbox.content.level" value to "2" but this did not work.

Any ideas?

When I start my computer I get the following error message: Firefox cannot access C\Program FilesFF\windowsapps\Microsoft windows.cross device_1.24012.0x64_cwsn1...

I'm having this insanely irritating bug where when I have my DAW software, specifically FL Studio, open at the same time as Firefox, and I try to pull up any sort of video or content, whether that be Youtube, Twitch, Dropbox or Google Drive files, or even videos just being queued up by Twitter or Reddit in the background, there'll be a chance that Firefox sort of "crashes," and goes all white (or grey with the default theme) for up to dozens of seconds, and forces the video to reload, or it just breaks the player.

​I need to be able to use my browser and my DAW at the same time to preview and drag files into it, and to work with video, so closing one or the other isn't an option. I've tried everything short of a drive wipe and OS reinstall; I've tried making a new profile, disabling extensions, disabling hardware acceleration, the troubleshoot mode, and even a complete wipe and reinstall of both Firefox and FL Studio. Nothing has worked.

​Has anyone else had that issue and hopefully been able to fix it? Or does anyone know any way to alleviate this? Thank you!

​I'm using Windows 11 Pro on a Framework 13 with an AMD 7840U with all the latest updates and drivers, and can provide specifics if needed.

Hello,

After Firefox asked me to reset it and I created a folder with old firefox data, now Firefox does not open at all. I have tried to install it from scratch several times but the program is still not responding. I copied the folder with the old data to the 'Profiles' folder in Library/ApplicationSupport/Firefox and it still doesn't work (the icon keeps bouncing without the program opening). Can someone help me as soon as possible? Thank you very much.

Greetings,

I had stumbled on a list of your fixed bugs lists and noticed updates were made on my keyboard.

On 03/09/2024, my left shift key, z, X and C keys are not working.

I have to copy and paste those letters from other documents to type it here. Do you have any idea how those keys stopped working?

Thank you in advance for your input.

MacBook Air, OSX 12.6.1 Firefox 123.0.1 iPhone 12 IOS 17.3.1

Using a wifi hotspot from my iPhone, Firefox on the Mac gives me "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site." for all sites. As if there is no internet connection Chrome works fine, other internet based apps like Skype, Whatsapp work fine (but Mac Mail won't connect either)

Before IOS 17, everything worked fine.

Is there a setting in Firefox that is responding to something new in IOS 17's hotspotting feature?

Thanks

Example Video Address is "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1LF4m1E7kB". Open the URL and watching 2 or more videos can repeat the problem.

The first image shows the memory usage when I first open the video URL. The second image shows the memory usage after I watching some video. The memory usage can be even more as you keep watching.

I can help debug the problem if need. Can any one help? Thanks a lot.

Hello! I have two FB accounts, one business and one personal. Since they started their new login procedure (trying to get access to your other devices), I can only log into my personal account on FF, because FB gives me other options besides logging in on another device, but on my business account, it doesn't. I work on my computer and refuse to give FB access to my phone because of all the annoying spam and notifications, and because I don't trust them.

I can only login to my business account on Chrome, and I don't trust it either. Is there a setting I need to change on FF to be allowed into this other account?

TIA

Long time technical, firefox user. One day starting firefox caused the system to slow unacceptably down. No changes before other than a possible background update from v122. Tried to do a Fresh Firefox v123, but firefox is attempting/constant localhost connections (ports in 40k-65k range) (attached screenshot).

It's on a Windows 10 desktop, uninstalled Firefox v123, manually deleted %appdata%\mozilla and %localappdata%\mozilla, reinstalled firefox, as soon as firefox.exe executes, I get constant localhost connection attempts from the "firefox.exe" process (Process Monitor image attached).

ran about:processes, found it was the "Network" category causing the problem. Permalink to report... https://share.firefox.dev/4972weA

Ran dism, it found no system files had issues. Only firefox has an issue, the system is great without it running.

Is this a bug?

What does firefox use the localhost connection for?

Is there a secondary component that is required by firefox that it is not running on execution that it is looking for?

Hey!

We have been trying to get to the bottom of this problem in my company, but we ruled out everything else than Firefox itself. Periodically Firefox experiences an APPCRASH event for multiple users. It used on a Windows Server 2019 that is used as a Terminal Server. When this APPCRASH occurs even though the profile of the user is there, Firefox creates a brand new profile for the user and all the passwords and form data is lost. Browsing history is lost too, but that is not a problem.

I've included some tracelog in the troubleshooting info field. Does anyone have any direction that I could go towards?

Thank you!

Hi team,

Since March 18th, 2024, users have encountered latency issues when attempting to log in to ee.co.uk/shop, adversely affecting our company, Torry Harris Integration Solutions, and leading to significant revenue losses. While the issue persists, it's notable that users are experiencing smooth login operations on browsers like Chrome and Edge, suggesting a potential browser-specific compatibility or optimization problem. Immediate investigation into this disparity, along with addressing server overload, network congestion, or database performance issues, is critical to restoring seamless functionality across all browsers and mitigating revenue impact effectively.

Thanks Regards, Gaurav Kumar Torry Harris Integration Solutions.
