I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I use Firefox for Mac. Often when I want to click on a link or complete an on-line form, a long list of unwanted suggestions pops up and orevents me doing this. Only by hitting Escape can I get control back.

By the way, I don't want any solution which involves clearing the cache, as I value that help.

Hello,

I have been using Firefox Mozilla for many years. This morning it opened up fine. Then this afternoon (Dec 7, 2023) it would not open for me and when I try to open a new tab it says that it crashed.

I looked and I do have Firefox as my start up browser in my settings. Thank you for any advice on getting back to my favorite browser.

Sincerely, Sandy

Hello! I need some help. Every since 4-6 months ago, Firefox has been extremely slow when I boot it up at first, with some page load times taking more than 10 minutes. Some fixes have seemed to work, but they never work permanently. From my testing, it is not the result of any extension and the issue persists in troubleshoot mode. What has not helped my testing is that, after enough restarts of Firefox, the problem goes away and web pages load quickly, so this has caused some false positives. Has anyone else had a similar problem they were able to fix? Should I try uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it?

Firefox use a lot of CPU time ( it reaches 100% ) while watching youtube videos in 720p on Windows 10, and videos lags and stutters too much. Not using any ad blockers, non of plug-ins are on. It does work just fine on Ubuntu on the same machine Vids also were working fine on previous popular web browser known for its spyware

Using hardware acceleration is on in browser settings. Specs are: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz 4,00 GB x64 Windows 10 Home edition 22H2 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M

Firefox version 120.0.1 (64-bit), up-to-date

I tried to pay my Wells Fargo VISA bill online as I do every month. This morning it listed all my accounts correctly on the 'Accounts' screen, but when I clicked the options to transfer money, depending on the screen I was on, it gave a message "you do not have two accounts to transfer money from and to" (not the exact wording.)

I tried to use a different path to do the same thing, and on that screen it displayed the 'FROM' accounts correctly but the "TO" account area was blank.

I had to close Firefox, load Edge, and was able to transfer the money from the checking account and pay the VISA bill.

This has never happened before and I have done this transfer and pay operation every month for years. Something has changed in the browser and needs to be fixed.

Since snap firefox keeps crashing somehow, it just hangs.. i cleared cache and all, reinstalled it, but still.. ?

They say linux is a broken system (:

when I attempt to open firefox, a window opens: xul runner error: platform version 120.0.1 is not compatible. minversion>=119.0.1 maxversion<=119.0.1 If I click the "ok" button the screen goes back to my desktop.

My online pharmacy, connected to HumanaCenterWell, no longer opens in Firefox. A message "forgerock, redirect_uri_mismatch" appears. It did work until a few months ago and it does work on Google.

Firefox (x64 en-US) is our primary browser on 2 different computers: a desktop and an HP laptop. Within days of each other, both Firefox browsers on the two computers began crashing whenever we tried to use them. There has been no error message. Nothing we have done has helped, though we have only tried to fix it on the desktop. We have uninstalled it and reinstalled it on the desktop. We have refreshed the reinstalled version. We have opened it in Troubleshoot mode and it still crashed within 15 seconds. Below are the 4 most recent crash reports from today's crashes:

Crash ID: bp-9104d928-4968-488e-ac3d-ed3000231211 Crash ID: bp-a4d3f2d0-6e18-4c22-85db-655d70231211 Crash ID: bp-dd6eafed-2fd7-4fb7-9a5b-960ac0231211 Crash ID: bp-3f979015-56d9-4a56-8f0f-d04f50231211

So I've noticed that after putting my computer to sleep, upon return Firefox will be unable to load any videos from seemingly any site. The temporary solution to this is to reset my computer as sign offs, locks or returning to sleep do not clear the issue. I've tested on different browsers/sites and can confirm that this is exclusive to firefox. I have booted firefox in troubleshoot mode, cleared my history and given the sites time to load with no luck on any of them.

Is there a solution to this?

When connecting to a http proxy with a username and a password it says "Proxy server refused connection"

When connect to the same http proxy and turn off its Authentication, it works.

I'm a hiker and backpacker. I have recently begun using AllTrails.com to record my hikes making them easier to share with others as well as to save them for my own records. Everything works fine except uploading photos. This aspect of the app does not work at all in Firefox. It does work with MS Edge and Google neither of which I want to use.

Since yesterday (12-December-2023) and continuing today (13-Dec-2023) when I attempt to use the search bar to answer a question eg "five letter words with three vowels" I receive the message 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable. I can enter Google and can then go to Google for a search.

I am having issues with Firefox crashing at various times though out the day. It always starts out fine, but at some point it just stops responding and I have to close the browser and reopen it. This happens at least once a day and it does it on different units (my LG Laptop, Dell Desktops (2 different units-1 at work and 1 at home), Surface Pro 9, my Dell laptop), so I know it is not the unit, it is something in Firefox! My Dell laptop runs Windows 10, all the others run Windows 11. Please look into this and provide a patch. Thank you!

Hello fellow Firefox users, I sadly cannot use my Firefox (120.0.1, 64 bits, Windows 10) anymore as it is too slow to show a webpage... It's so slow, that I initially thought that I have no internet connexion at all on Firefox.

Can anyone help me figuring why my Firefox profile is so slow ?

Long story short:

- Until 2023-12-05, my Firefox was working normally.

 My parameters were "No HTTPS everywhere" and "No DNS over HTTPS (DoH)".

- On 2023-12-05, I was connected to an entreprise DNS (Mangling DNS).

 I cannot acces some website because of their local policy, so I changed my DNS parameters.
 I choose to use DoH with Cloudflare instead of the given DNS.
 Internet worked perfectly.

- On 2023-12-06 and 2023-12-07, same parameters, Internet worked perfectly on another network. - Since 2023-12-08, Internet is very slow. It need about 1.5 minute to get start.duckduckgo.com loading on any network.

 I thought it will not load at all (timeout ?).
 Others webrowsers (e.g. : Microsoft Edge) are correctly working.
 The "ping google.com" command is working normaly on windows with 2ms delay.
 The DNS on windows "Get-DnsClientServerAddress" are the normal DNS of the router.
 Even with reverting the DoH parameter to off, I do not get back my web browsing speed.

Troubleshooting :

- It's slow with "DoH and Cloudflare" activated.

 It's slow on my home network.
 It's slow on a public network.
 It's slow on another private network.
 https://www.dnsleaktest.com gives me a list of Cloudflare DNS (IPv4) near me, different from the DNS (IPv6) used by Windows 10.
 Meanwhile, Microsoft Edge, ping and wget/curl are working normally (i.e. no delay).
 Noticably, Microsfot Edge use by default according to https://www.dnsleaktest.com the same Cloudflare DNS.

- It's slow with "DoH and Cloudflare" NOT activated.

 It's slow on my home network.
 It's slow on a public network.
 It's slow on another private network.
 https://www.dnsleaktest.com gives me one DNS from my ISP (IPv4), same value as the DNS (IPv4) used by Windows 10.
 Meanwhile, Microsoft Edge, ping and wget/curl are working normally (i.e. no delay).
 Noticably, Microsfot Edge use by default according to https://www.dnsleaktest.com the Cloudflare DNS.

- In about:crashes there is not relevent crash (only old crash).

- I have not changed any about:config parameters in the 2023-12-05 to today (2023-12-12) period.

- I have run mozregression GUI with no problem.

 The program oppened succesfully start.duckduckgo.com .
 This website was choosen as it is an allowed website on every DNS.

- Firefox 120.0.1 is saying that it is up-to-date.

 And as of today, it is.

- I do have some extensions (12 activated) on my Firefox, so I try without extension.

 It worked but I do not understand why!
 * New profile. Using "firefox.exe -profile" I created another clean profile to see.
                It worked.
                According to https://www.dnsleaktest.com, my new empty profile uses both Cloudflare DNS (IPv4) and the router DNS from the ISP.
                Adding one-by-one most of extensions (6 now) to this new profile do not break yet my Firefox speed.
 * Safe Mode. Using "firefox.exe -safe-mode" I have started my corrupt profile without extension, JIT, etc...
              It worked.
              According to https://www.dnsleaktest.com, it uses only the router DNS (IPv4).

- I can send some result from about:support if needed, but it kills privacy...

Conclusion :

I do not understand why my main Firefox profile is not working correctly. I do not see strange things when troubleshooting. Nothing makes sense.

May someone help me figuring out?

Hello, when I open the Firefox browser from my taskbar it does not open as a full browser page as Image 3.

I have to click on the full-screen icon twice to get it open in full screen as in Image 4.

Please can you help?
