Im opening hbomax site and everytime i just get 3 loading dots and sudden black screen, i tried clearing cookies and cache, i tried troubleshoot mode, its still the same. Site works fine on chrome

I logged into my bank acct. as usual to check my balance and transactions. All went well until I reached my balance figure. Usually, I click on that balance figure to reveal the previous transactions. This time and all following times, the transactions did NOT appear! Long story/short, I contacted Key Bank's Customer Support only for them to tell me that Key does not support Firefox browsers anymore 'after their security updating!' They suggest switching to mainstream browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, and Microsoft Edge!

I have been a satisfied user of Firefox for years now and don't want to change now! I suspect that because Firefox has good security features, this has become "undesirable" to mainstream business sites because they prefer the mainstream browsers that have (Browser Fingerprinting technology) to track the activities of the users of their sites!!! My question now is: Can Firefox find a way to fix this problem???

After running `snap refresh firefox`, many sites I use no longer render any text.

Via some fiddling via the developer console, it appears to be that any text with `font-family: Helvetica`. Removing that CSS restores the text, adding it removes the text.

There's a fix for CVE-2023-29537 in this release that affects font initialization - possibly related?

My browser this afternoon updated to 112.0.1. Prior to the upgrade I was watching 9now.com.au. Post the upgrade the 9now pages will no longer show the controls or login boxes.

login.nine.com.au now shows a complete white page.

Devtools indicates there are almost no network queries being issued in comparison to edge.

To test I spun up a VM that had firefox 111.0 installed with the above web site working. I let firefox upgrade to 112.0.1 and it stopped functioning again. I downgraded to 111.0 again and everything works again. Seems 112.0.1 is breaking it.

PC, Win-10 For the past couple weeks, every time I click on an email hyperlink, I get a drop-down box asking what program I want to use? I have set the default email program to Outlook, but the choice doesn't "stick". I have gone down to the file level in the "Chose your default email" path and selected Outlook.exe (note This is NOT a web based version of Outlook. It is part of my Office 2019 program - it's a LOCAL file).

Sometimes, it will open my Outlook2019 program, but will NOT start a new email with the addressee data and subject data pre-populated, like it has for years. Instead, I must manually open a new mail and populate all fields.

At the same time, Firefox opens a new tab, title "mailto xxx@yyy.zzz", where the web page is blank. This is a brand new weird thing that never used to happen.

Firefox Trouble-shooter app won't run, either. Or, I don't know how to make it run. Caveat: I'm a former Novell CNA and veteran PC super-user since 1995, so I do know a little something. This has me perplexed. I don't know if Mozilla is aware of this new bug, or not, or if a fix is in the works.

Hello... I've been having difficulties for the last week or so when I am on the browser. It keeps telling me I'm not connected to the internet & I do MANY surveys each day & I get error messages like the one attached for my yahoo email. "Secure Connection Failed" Since when is: yahoo NOT secure??? This also has been happening w/my survey sites.

And many times this past week Mozilla crashes. WTF is goin' on w/your browser??? If this keeps happening I'm going to switch ova to Chrome!

Please advise... Thanks, Denise M Mercuri

I'm at my wits' end. There are a few websites that just don't open for some reason. Either they don't load at all and I get a blank page or there's a problem with the way they load. I've done some troubleshooting. Figured it might be an add-on, safe mode didn't fix it. Tried a 'refresh'. Didn't fix it. Figured it might be corrupt cache after the first visit, but deleting cache didn't fix it.

Finally tried reinstalling Firefox and it did... but not for long. After the reinstall, the websites were accessible again no problem. But then the next time I closed Firefox and restarted it or shut down my computer, the problem was back. This is 100% consistent. No exceptions. Always reproduces the issue.

To give examples of websites that for some reason stop working: A couple of websites for a game I play (trackmania.exchange and trackmania.io) My work Outlook inbox and more generally the whole Office 365 suite online. The Twitter feed. For some reason the UI loads but the feed just says "Something went wrong. Try reloading". I'm sure there are others I haven't found yet, but for some reason I have no problem accessing YouTube, Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

I have no clue how to troubleshoot this any further. Something goes wrong after closing Firefox after reinstalling it. I can't keep reinstalling it every time I turn my computer on. I also don't want to have to use hibernate constantly to keep the first instance open.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Twitter won't load in firefox latest version under windows 10. Connection problem, twitter running fine on android and windows chrome. So twitter is running fine just not on firefox windows 10.

I am having multiple problems on several sites

1)trying to sign into my Schwab account and keep getting: We're unable to authorize your access. Try again later.

2)go to www CNBC com The market data field(s) do not display and I can not enter data in the search field

3)While scrolling FB it gets lost and 1 out 4 times I need to restart Firefox

These problems continue with and with-out VPN These problems don't appear when using MS Edge(which I do not like)

Hi,

I use Firefox daily, but since the last update I'm unable to make card payments on websites and I'm having to use Chrome as a backup. Up until the update everything was fine and there were no issues making payments on the Royal Mail and Asda websites. When I click the pay button on these sites, the payment window does not open up.

I've tried disabling all addons/extensions to no avail.

Regards Andrew

In the past week I have found that I am now unable to log into some websites, can no longer download pdfs from websites, or word docs from email. I have had issues trying to access chat functionality with my web hosting company. This has forced me to have to start using Chrome is many cases.

Firefox is my favorite browser and I want to continue using it, but if I am unable to access the websites I need to, when I need to then I will have to eventually jump ship.

Is this happening because of recent browser updates? From search from past issues people have had I've seen firewall settings a possibility, so could it be my firewall? Or are websites just not trying to support Firefox anymore?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Currently running Firefox 72.0.2 on Windows 7 Desktop PC. Believe these problems were caused by the ‘Enhanced Tracking Protection’ (ETP) feature, but no matter what remedy I follow on FF support, I cannot cure the problem. (1) Problem seem to be common to both Ancestry & Facebook websites & relates to viewing messages which use a (pop-up/fly-out?) window. Ancestry’s support solution was to install chrome & so far Facebook support has not responded. I can work around this by using my chrome laptop to read & reply to messages on both websites, but this is a real pain since all this worked fine on FF before.

(2) AVG has the same problem populating (pop-up/fly-out?) window for ‘performance issues’. Obviously I cannot use another PC or laptop to check this out, so I am stuck.

All suggestions welcomed, but note I am a novice at all this, so please be gentle!! Cheers, Mickey. P.S. I have more info, but this is all a bit overwhelming & so I won't add it at moment

Searching for Tickers you keep on getting the sandclock (it stalls) and loading charts crashes the site. Has been like this for ages. Please accept the challenge to make it work equally in Firefox as it does in Edge/Chrome.

Since a recent upgrade, so many of my banking and work sites are non-functional. It is frustrating. I have to switch to stupid, high AD Edge browser to get things done. I added the problem websites to allow pop-ups, sometimes it works. I am pretty savvy and cannot be an outlier.

The latest update of Firefox has rendered browsing nearly impossible . Many websites do not open at all, without showing error messages. For example, if I type google.com in the search bar and hit enter, nothing happens. I can, however, visit DuckDuckGo.com and search for Google. The search results come up as usual but if I click the link to google.com, again, nothing happens. If I search for "New York Times" on DuckDuckGo and click the link for nytimes.com the new york times website opens without a problem. Is there a solution to this?

For some time now, after one of the Firefox updates, I cannot post or share articles to Twitter because the scroll bar doesn't work. This is the only browser where I have this problem and the problem seems confined to Twitter, although I don't generally post on many other websites. The dialogue box will pop up and I can see the content, but the scroll bar on the right side will not allow me to scroll down to the Tweet button. It's greyed out and simply won't move. I've tried tweaking settings/permissions, etc., to no avail. I'm tired of having to copy the article address to Edge or Chrome to share it, or go to one of those browsers to post in Twitter. It's really become such a problem because I generally use Firefox and I use Twitter quite often. This has been an ongoing issue for months now and thus far I can find no reason for it and no solution. If anyone can provide some insight, I'd appreciate it. And yes, I've cleared cookies/cache umpteen times. Browser is updated. Windows 10 is updated. It makes no sense to me at all.

Apparently I can't edit my own past questions/threads once they have been archived, so this is to provide a update to my previous thread for others who may be searching for answers.

The culprit was a pre-installed PC power settings controller called "Control Center 3.0" developed by Clevo. I think I had opened it just once when I first bought my laptop to set the LED lighting scheme of my keyboard, but it could also control power settings and always booted in the background on startup. This application was preventing hardware acceleration in Firefox.

After uninstalling "Control Center 3.0" youtube video playback on Firefox works perfectly, but I can no longer enable the keyboard backlighting - a worthwhile tradeoff in my eyes.

Despite all my searching, I have not been able to find a solution to this issue that works for me. When I start watching a youtube video, it plays fine, zero interruptions. However the moment I touch the seek bar, pause the video for a moment, anything that interrupts the playback, I cannot watch more than 2 seconds of video before it will pause as if buffering for a few seconds, play again for a few seconds, pause again etc etc. over and over and over, making it impossible to watch any video at that point. Refreshing the page will fix it, but if I have to use the seek bar to get back to where I was, then the exact same issue will re-occur. There is zero issue with playback on other browsers, such as chrome or edge. I have tried enabling/disabling hardware acceleration, various codecs, user agents, refreshed firefox, started it in troubleshooting mode etc, nothing has helped.
