I-Firefox Community Forum

I am a subscriber to Mozilla Relay that includes the "Phone Mask". I believe I correctly configured everything ages ago, but am feeling VERY FRUSTRATED whereby I am trying to purchase tickets for a local event and the SMS code (that expires in 15 seconds) sent to my mozilla phone mask is NOT getting to my iPhone. Isn't there an end-to-end test you all have to track down misconfigurations or other issues?

I'm trying to use the built in VPN. I'm signed in but it just keeps returning me to the same page. The VPN icon doesn't have a green tick - it keeps the little black cross next to it. What am I doing wrong?

I do not care to see the "widgits" on my desktop opening page. It appeared a few days ago. I do not want to be obligated to its appearance there. A User of FoxFire should be given the opportunity to elect to have it or not. I do not remember reading that it was going to appear. I was concerned when it first appeared. Does it have to be there??? [edited email from community support forum]

My I Mac is old 2014. Recently, I seem to get the spinning ball of death every time I try to load a page or even try to close a page. Articles take a long time to load, too. I am not the computer tech knowledgeable but the other day I found myself yelling at the computer because it was so frustrating trying to do anything.

I suppose it could be time for a new piece of equipment but that is not cost effective at this time.

I am so excited to use the FF VPN, I get many notifications about it but what am I doing wrong - I don't see the VPN option in my browser. I am updated, use DuckDuckgo for searching. I've written before but we never go anywhere. Wish I could get the VPN to work as I really want to try it thank you

Since the last update when I go to YouTube and I choose my Home or YouTube icons so I can watch videos I will see the list of videos they are offering for just a flash and then they disappear. I still have all the things across the top and down the left side of my screen that YouTube always shows, but there are no videos to be seen. It's just white space. After turning off different items in my Malwarebytes to see if it was a problem with them (which it did not seem to be), I decided to try YouTube on Safari to see if it was a FireFox issue. YouTube worked perfectly on Safari. I've been looking through settings to try and figure this out, but I'm having no luck. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Lately I am noticing my browser takes a very long time to load certain websites (GitHub and Confluence mainly)

I don't experience the same issue on Google Chrome

When sites do load, they are often without stylesheets, and page elements do not work (possibly indicating scripts are not loading)

I have gone to Menard's several times and have tried to open a dog kennel item so I could see it bigger and in a single item view. Nothing happens when I click on it like it did before this last update!!!!!!!!!!! I get so tired of these program people change so much that i mess up how a person had used the software before they mucked it all up!!!!!!! In the last week I had the Firefox update, and two others an all of them have been changed so drastically nothing works like it did before the updates. MY REQUEST IS LEAVE IT THE SAME AND DON'T MESS WHEN HOW WE HAVE BEEN USING THE PROGRAM UNLESS WE WANT THE NEW UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been using the them, Jesus is Lord for years. Suddenly when I open up the attach file box...it has changed colors and it is back on white. I can't do black background with white text. I tried changing it in several places with not avail. Can someone please explain why it suddenly changed colors on me and how to get the original white background with black type? Thanks, Carol

I've been reading about how Firefox is starting to include Google Gemini (along with other AI models like Claude and ChatGPT) into the browser sidebar and experiment with AI features.

To be honest, this feels a bit odd to me. Mozilla has always positioned itself as the independent, privacy-first champion of the open web, while Google is a data-driven tech giant. Isn't integrating Gemini a bit of a contradiction or a conflict of interest for Firefox's privacy mission?

I know Google pays Mozilla to be the default search engine, but does this AI integration mean Firefox is giving up ground on its core privacy values, or is there a different strategy at play here regarding user choice and local/on-device AI?

Would love to get the community's thoughts on how Mozilla balances this partnership without compromising its mission. Thanks!

Since before and after my recent updates on my Macbook Air, Firefox has become virtually unusable. Facebook has slowed to a standstill, X videos won't load and now after this latest update to ios Tahoe 26.5.1 some of my passwords to my sites no longer work either. My Safari browser works fine. Is this to do with permissions? I need a solution quickly or I will sadly have to stop using Firefox.
