I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

When I first started using Firefox, I could use it to see the radar on The Weather Channel. A couple months ago it stopped working. When I go to that page, what should be the map showing the radar display is blank. I searched online and tried some things, but nothing fixed it. It does work with other browsers.

Hi! As the title states, since the latest windows update (am now on 19041.508), anytime I go on a webpage on Firefox it's extremely slow to load, however once loaded the page is as fast as it should be!

I don't have any antivirus other than windows defender, and disabling it/the windows firewall doesn't fix the issue, so it doesn't seem to be linked to that either, on the online forums such as this one I found it was also common to have issues caused by hardware acceleration, playing with that setting does not help either.

Another friend of mine has the same issue as me since the last update, so I'm assuming it's not something unique to my situation, is this a known issue for which a fix is available? Searching for one has yielded only outdated results.

Thanks a lot!

Hello in the last 2-3 days suddenly youtube keep taking significantly more time loading video and playing them. Also the videos keep stuttering mid play. I've checked both my connection and router setting and everything is normal. Anyone having this problem?

For some reason, my CPU usage of Firefox applications have shot up after the latest update. If I restart it goes down but after some time, not sure which factor is triggering this, it shots up again.

i am getting message from "performstrongintenselyapplication.icu" saying "important Firefox update available". Is this legitimate? ABOUT FIREFOX says I'm already using the most recent version (81.0.1, 64 bit)

Firefox has disappeared as an icon pinned to the dock. I can open it, from applications or upon startup. If I minimize Firefox, it shows as an icon of the last open window only, not the Firefox icon. Right clicking does not give any option for pinning it either.

Possibly related, UBlock has not been able to update either. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled, same issue.

Lately, on YouTube, after watching a few video's, a banner pop-up comes up and freeze's the page. It's a Yellow Banner the a robot in the left corner. It says " A web page is slowing down our browser. What you you like to do?" On the far right, it has two box's. "Stop It" or "Wait" then an "X"...I don't click on anything, I just shut the page. It gives me this warning when I only have ONE page open, so it smells of scam to me. Thanks. It's no big deal, just annoying....otherwise FireFox is GREAT and I would Never use anything else.

Earlier this year (Feb/April) Firefox slowed to 25% of the speed of other browsers I use (Edge and Chrome). With or without antivirus on, all updates completed, even with protective restrictions completely turned off, I can only achieve 250mb down on my 1gb service. If I switch to my other browsers I'm immediately in the 900+mb range. I've deleted all cache, temp files, and followed some of the optimization guidance in the forum, but it simply isn't working.

I stopped using Firefox a few months ago, but have always preferred it. However I will need to abandon it completely if this problem is unsolvable. After all the effort, it is as though Microsoft itself has done something in Windows to target this browser.

Any help out there?

Hi. I have a weird problem. Sometimes when I click links, they won't load. I don't get an error or anything else, but it just sits there and I have to click the address bar, then push enter. It loads just fine after that. This happens for example when middle clicking a URL in Google search results.

when i try to click "download" nothing pop up anymore.. im getting kinda frustated with firefox nowadays. so many useless updates which break the browser more and more.

so any solution to this?

I recently did a fresh install of Windows. I'm back to Firefox and using Version 81.0.1 (64-bit). I've noticed that my browser will sometimes lag or freeze, and it does it mostly when switching between two tabs - sometimes with just one tab open it will lock up for about 5-10 seconds then go back to working fine. Is there anything I can check to see if something is causing this issue? It's becoming very annoying. I only have three extensions installed, and it was doing it before I added them back.

I just brought a new Acer laptop that came with Firefox preinstalled, but upon viewing the About window it said Firefox for Acer. What makes Firefox for Acer different than Firefox that is downloaded from the website. I noticed that the default homepage was MSN. What customisations does Acer bring to Firefox?

Why does my Firefox address bar have "http://search.anysearchmanager.com/?_pg=C22B9764-34B6-556E-8545-EBAFFD03F12D&affid=A1I70_set_bfr_H&type=h" in it when I open Firefox? It's annoying to have to delete all of that before I can enter the URL I want. How can I get the automatically blank address bar I had before? I use Firefox on a desktop Mac. (Firefox tells me there are thousands of results for this question, but I can't find any of them.) Thanks.

Hi. Since the beginning of September, I hit into this strange incident. Eventually, I reinstall my computer in hope to get this fixed. Unfortunately, it didn't. It pops up again after 1 day.

This issue is quite strange, as I've said. When I get into YouTube, the user menu on the upper right corner will go on loading. The menu will never popped up at all. When I refresh the Firefox, this may get fixed in the first hour (it's much less, but I don't have any timing on this), and this will return. Other "interesting loading" may happen, say the "Kaspersky 2021" Add-on.

Other interesting thing is the user menu in YouTube won't complete, even it popped up. Half of it was shown. Normally, we may be able to swap accounts or logoff the account, but that entry wasn't in the menu.

Has everyone hit into this situation before, or is it just me? Any solution? Pls advise, thanks in advance.
