After a recent update to Firefox 133.0.3 (on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 22.04), Firefox is having difficulty connecting to websites and exhibiting some other odd behavior:

- After initially starting Firefox, it will load websites (e.g., previously open tabs) for up to 30 seconds. After that, it will not load any website in a new tab, showing the loading animation for several seconds before stopping all activity and just displaying an hourglass icon in the tab. These sites can be connected to in other web browsers. - After closing Firefox, its process is still running; I have to manually find its pid and kill it. - If I start Firefox from the terminal, I see these messages when it starts having trouble loading websites:

libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0 libva info: Trying to open /snap/firefox/5437/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

Hi Firefox Team, I've been a Firefox browser user for the last 5 years and now I'm facing difficulties while loading webpages, Is there any solution to loading the webpages so I can continuously use it...

Hi,

I have donated to Mozilla Foundation in the past and will gladly do so again once a vexing issue has been resolved. I am using the latest Firefox version for Mac.

While using the updated Mozilla Firefox recently I find that allthewordsItypesticktogetherlikethis when I try to search for something. It can also happen when I type emails using Firefox. So I often have to change back to Safari.

Also, I notice that with the updated Firefox version, a mysterious blue square appears around the text I am working on.

Do you have any suggestions or instructions as to how to stop the annoyingjoingingtogether of words from happening? Please help!

Thankyou!

We are getting errors that css values not defined as if the css file is not loaded from our CDN, which is only happening in Firefox and not other browsers that we support.

We confirmed something changed in Firefox that is triggering this around FF version 132. With the ESR (currently 128.5) and the page is working correctly. When we switched back to latest 133 and the bug is there

In the situations it happens, sometimes our css is NOT being loaded. In others, it is loaded and doesn't work but I see things trying to render before the file shows up in the console network logs. When it works...it is coming up cached. So this feels like a race condition of some type

I'm pretty sure the rule is that css is blocking, because we discussed race conditions when we implemented this, so this might be a Firefox bug? If this is a Firefox bug that isn't in an esr yet, we want to get it filed against firefox and fixed before the next esr.

We even tried a hacky patch on our code's method that is in question, as well as tried putting the expected css font-family style into a <style> tag in our index.html. The patch worked on Windows. It did not work on Mac. Stepping through the code, we see `undefined` / `null`. This definitely implies that the css styles simply have not been applied when the first component asking for the theme is routing through this code.

So again: our Firefox > 132. ESR up to 131 doesn't produce this issue, so something changed in Firefox 132.

If we tried loading our css file in a parent page (just loading, not using) to get it into the mix sooner, it doesn't help. An iframe is still loading faster than its parent frame is loading that css file from the CDN.

Using Firefox on iMac, with Privacy Badger plugin. Can't log in to DocuSign. I believe it is a browser error, because I can log in using Safari. When I attempt to login to Docusign I get and application error, regardless of whether I use my password or a passkey (fingerprint id).

Related issue is when I click links to articles in emails from Flipboard (a content aggregator) I get a "Bad Request" error message. This just started happening. This also does not happen if I use Safari.

I have been on Facebook a long time and have been accessing Facebook on Firefox for a long time as well and never had any problems. All of a sudden I can no longer get in from Firefox. I get the message "Sorry! Something went wrong :(" when I try to access https://www.facebook.com/ as soon as I hit enter.

I can log in fine from Chrome (really don't want to use it) without any problems so I don't think the issue lies with Facebook.

Can anyone help with this issue?

Thank you - Jan

As of February 13, 2025 the front page of the Washington Post website does not load correctly in Firefox 115.20.0esr in Mac OS 10.13.6. The problem persists even in safe mode. Thank you.

If I visit the website www.silviadesimone.it (I am the webmaster) through Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, I can see the visit counter in the left bottom corner of the page. If I use Mozilla Firefox (that is the browser that I normally use) the visit counter does not appear. According to the ShinyStat helpdesk it could depend on some Firefox plugin that does not allow the counter to show. Can you help me? Thank you

Hi,

The scouting association have updated their members website to membership.scouts.org.uk. This works, but from there is a link to my learning.scouts.co.uk. Sometimes this works but often I get "bad request, error 400". I've had to move to Edge when using this website. I didn't want to! I've used Firefox for years

When I try to sign into eBay, a multi-photo comes up asking me to identify like objects in order to be allowed to enter the program. I believe Firefox is causing this problem. How can I fix the problem?

I am using the most current version of Firefox with Windows 10. At this web site: https://tenthousandpots.com/ , I am unable to browse the majority of the site i.e., no products appear when selected. I also tried DuckDuckGo and had the same issue. However, when I downloaded and accessed the site via Google Chrome, the site worked as it should. I reached out to the TenThousandPots site and advised them of this and they said they've had no similar reports. Can anyone advise?

Whenever I login to the web site "SSA.GOV" and click the login button, the next screen presented in Firefox is: "Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

If I go to a Private Window, type in the SSA.Gov and then select the Login page, I am presented with the correct page and can then supply my information and login.

Working on setting up a new PC build. I've had to use some PC support website chats and many of them have just not acted right? For example, one would allow me to start a chat but then sent me directly to closing the chat like we were finished. The others would lock up my Firefox many times. Anything come to mind as to why this is happening? Windows 11 Pro v24H2 and latest Firefox version.
