I-Firefox Community Forum

When I try and log into the National Lottery it keeps telling me I'm not in the UK. This is on my Desk Top.

When I do it on my Laptop I don't have this problem. I am using FireFox on both.

Can you help or do I need to go elsewhere.

Many thanks.

David.

My Firefox browser is updated to the most recent version. I've previously used ProtonVPN and I've never had any problems. As soon as I updated Firefox, however; there are connectivity issues and pages won't load. I've tested with other web browsers and are able to load pages there while they simultaneously won't load in Firefox. I've tried deleting ProtonVPN and re-installing, but that didn't work either. I reached out to Proton about this and they are looking into it from their end to see if there is a solution, but I'm pretty confident it has something to do with Firefox as other browsers are working as they should be.

what is the largest file size i can download with Firefox.

I am using Ubuntu 22.4 LTS and want to download 123GB Zip file from Microsoft One drive. After downloading 100GB it stuck and stops downloading at 100GB. How can i download it. 

Previous year i switched from windows 10 pro to Ubuntu. At that time i have my college mail account where i compressed all my data and uploaded it. Now i want to download that zip file.

I have not noticed this before upgrading my Mac to Sequoia 15.0, using latest Firefox browser update, but "printing to PDF" which I used in the past extensively, makes a PDF file that causes the letters to be one ASCII number off. So if I type into the "search" field "p", then all the "o's" are highlighted. I can only enter a search term if I usean "ASCII number +1" technique, so I can search for "get" by typing in "fds". Numbers are searched for as in the past. This is not happening if I make a PDF using my Safari browser, all the PDF words are correct and searchable as in the past. Anyone have insights as to why this might be occurring? I will try restarting in "safe" mode and re-downloading Firefox as is suggested in some of the articles here. Thanks!

Whenever Firefox has been shut down, such as a computer restart, it takes a very, very long time to finally come up to where it works. 7 to 10 minutes is not unusual. What can I do to remedy this issue?

I used to be able to Bookmark a website. I simple don't' see "bookmark this site" or "Add a bookmark". I don't know what a tag is or or even how to tag a site. I have bookmarks but can't remember how to do them. I did set up a Bookmark file, now I can't put a site into the file. Can I call someone who can walk me through it? The answers Ive read to this question are over my head.

Thank you, Jd

when I try to open Firefox I get the following message ERROR platform version '130.01 is not compatible with mini version 130.00 max version 130.00

This leaves me with 3 questions: 1. Am I supposed to know what this message in computer talk means, 2. Am I supposed to know how to restore Firefox to my computer, 3. Does this impossible to solve problem happen on Chrome

Hi -

I research a lot of topics and admittedly have tons of bookmarks in tons of folders. I've used Firefox probably for ten years.

I can save new bookmarks on my desktop PC, but about a week ago, it's gotten harder and harder to save on my Macbook. I've cleared the cache many times, turned off all extensions. Shut down Firefox then reloaded it, and shut down my Macbook, which is the only time I'm able to save any bookmarks.. then it reverts back to not being able to save any.

What's going on, and how do I fix it?

Thanks.

None of the extensions I have installed on Firefox, all enable, show up in the extensions toolbar. Restarting my laptop does not make a difference

Not having access to Dashlane's password autofill funtion is particularly frustrating

Thank you

Early this year, it was reported by many people that the browser often fails with Yahoo comments. You changed something in your system, as other browsers still work fine. Sometimes they don't show, sometimes notifications don't show up and often comments fail to publish, though all work on Edge.

It still isn't fixed and got worse this weekend.

Are you doing anything at all to address this, other than laughing?

Why is Firefox creating many copies of webpages I visit? I go to a website, but then have to click the back button several times to return to where I was. Right click on the back button shows that there are several copies of the same page (see photo attached). What gives?

Fix whatever the [redacted] is wrong with your product that make Twitch streams look like [redacted] every 20-30 seconds. Chrome can figure it out why cant you! JFC

Firefox regularly disconnects from internet while other browsers keep on working. I have disable all addons, still have the same problem. It works and then it suddenly just sits there and spins forever trying to load a page, while I can still work on other browsers. I have 1000s of tabs open so it would be very sad to have to switch to another browser.

Hello,

I know this question has already been asked but the contents where a little different and the answer didn't really help me... I noticed this a few times and researched a few times but it didn't help.

Because of performance issues I checked my Task-manager and realized that RAM (and sometimes CPU but RAM ist my main focus) are being used extensively through Firefox: - a lot of Firefox-processes are open - this stays the case when I restart - also if just 1 tab open Now from my research I know I'm not the only one and it's supposed to be normal to some extend. But right now I've got 13 processes open! They are all under C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Then they are quiet similar: - Contentproc... Channel=xxxx (--> 4 numbers that vary ) - child ID x (--> 1 or 2 number that varys) OR ParentbuildID xxx (a lot of numbers that vary) (From now on I stop putting xxxes for numbers, but there still are numbers everywhere) - then some say IsforBrowser others SandBoxingKind others nothing here - Then they seem to all have prefshandle , prefmaphandle, prefslen, prefmapsixe - Then it varys again: --> For example one process which currently uses 500mb on it's own then says: jsInitHandle, jsInitLen, parentBuildID, win32kLockedDown -appDir.. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser, (then signs and numbers and later) gecko-crash-server-pipe

Please help.

They can't all be okay and necessary, can they? How can I recognize which Processes have which reason? Maybe some extensions are the problem? Maybe some processes are old and can be closed/erased? Anything to do with preferences on homepages or passwords? And if so, which is which? No preference is worth so much RAM to me ^^ But I don't wan't to erase everything on every homepage for nothing or very little mb either ;-)

Oh, yeah so some of those processes use only between 1 and 10 MB, others mostly around 40 MB (10-100 MB) but some of them (right now 3) use between 220 and 470 MB. Right now this sums up to more then 1GB, my only open tab is this Support Tab. It becomes a lot more while using Firefox.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello!

I have a problem which seems to be only with my Firefox browser regarding Royal Mail emails!

I use a Mac desktop computer, and my email account is with btinternet.com

Recently, when I get an email notification about an (expected) delivery from Royal Mail, the actual content of the email is blank when I’m using Firefox as my browser.

At first, I assumed this was btinternet.com blocking Royal Mail, for some reason. However, I discovered yesterday that this problem does not exist when I access my email via Safari or DuckDuckGo! I can access the content of the emails just fine if I use either of these other browsers.

I also have Firefox installed on my iPad AND on my Android phone. The same thing happens on both of these devices as well—so this is not an issue with my Mac computer. I can access the content of the email from Royal Mail via either Safari (on my iPad) or DuckDuckGo (on iPad AND my android phone.) However, neither of these will show me the email when I use Firefox.

I can access the actual Royal Mail website with Firefox on my computer, no problem. It’s just when I try to open emails from them that the problem arises.

No idea what is causing this anomaly. I can’t pinpoint exactly when it started, but it’s been going on for at least a month and maybe more.

I use the latest version of Firefox at all times on all devices, and my operating systems are up to date on my devices as well. (I have the latest version of Sonoma on my Mac, I have iOS 17.7 on my iPad, and whatever the latest update for Motorola e14 is.)

I’m hoping you can offer a bit of advice. This is very annoying, as Firefox is my default browser on both my Mac AND my Motorola phone.

I can no longer open Nordstrom.com website, Chewy.com website, and now Costco.com websites? I even changed passwords on those accounts but firefox will no longer open. It just sits there doing nothing when i sign in, even if i disable the shield? Why and why are more and more websites doing this on Firefox yet Google Chrome allows me to, so i have to open Google Chrome to be able to get to websites i used to open on Firefox. Please Fix as this is Very Annoying!!!
