I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

All new tabs give me a cursor in the ADDRESS BAR. This is unacceptable. There is a nice search window in the middle of the page, but the cursor never goes there. It appears in the ADDRESS BAR. I did the about:config handoff crap and it was crap. Is there a FIX? If so, what is it? If not, I'm using edge.

Remove or disable reading view for only AARP webpages in Firefox ...all other sites are fine..... it is a recent problem..... it keeps going to 40 % even tho my default is 120 %... as I have to click on the toggle on each new tab to be able to view pages.....again only on AARP webpages.

Hello, all.

For years now, I've been facing the same issue and it is: Firefox breaksdown and becomes chaos during every update. What do I mean by 'during every update'?. I'll explain how I use firefox and what happens.

I am writing code that is tracking data from a websocket connection. That's why I leave Firefox open all the time, just for tests, to see how my web app would react to different situations. At some there is a Firefox Update. It downloads and installs it, but never actually notifies me when anything of that is happening. Here is the magic - I always know when there was a new version just installed. How? Firefox performance drops, weird and unexpected behaviour and it just becomes chaotic and sluggish until I restart. so I was looking at the console logs of the app that I am developing and after. All of a sudden, I start getting a "SyntaxError: redeclaration of let settings" or something like that (wish I had saved it). The error did not come from my code as I haven't use any 'lets' in my JS code. That SyntaxError was quite specific and I just noticed it in the last update, but the performance drop issue has been there for years now. Maybe that syntaxError was not specific to my app, but on a lower level. I have to keep observing, but I wanted to report it here. Every time there is an update (not a specific one) and I'm using firefox at the same time - I instantly notice the difference. I know, all I need to do is restart the browser and it works fine, but do we really want our browser to behave like that? Do we really want our work to be interrupted by an update that can wait until I restarted my PC? Windows 10 has the same issue. "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR HOW IMPORTANT YOUR STUFF TO YOU IS! HERE IS AN UPDATE THAT WILL BREAK EVERYTHING AND YOU ARE FORCED TO RESTART". I know, I should review my firefox update settings, but these are the default firefox settings firefox comes with and it happens even on a clean install. There are people who would be like... *getting my werid acting voice out* "Oh, this browser has become so slow all of a sudden. Let me try Chrome. OMG! YES! IT'S FASTER!! I'll stick to that".

I did not keep any other issue, since i just closed the browser and did not bother to open it again. I opened it this morning and there was little update window. That makes me think now.. Does the update installation happen before I restart the browser or after? If the installation happens after the browser is clsoed, that would mean just the download itself breaks the browser.

I have a few addons active, but as I mentioned earlier, this happens even when there is an update after a clean install. Thanks for your time reading this. when I this happens again, I will try to gather more data and will update or post a comment under this post. Can anyone suggest any good way to pinpoint the cause? Thanks!

when i start firefox, it instantly freezes on: 'the last session has crashed' site, which then instantly leads to a windows bluescreen.

would like to help you fix the critical bug and restore the program to a working state.

Last week, I reinstalled Windows on my PC and then installed Firefox. After the installation, my bookmarks synced and were transferred safely to the new browser.

However, due to certain reasons, I had to reinstall my operating system again today. I downloaded Firefox once again, but unfortunately, I couldn't remember my password, so I had to reset it. After resetting the password, I initiated the sync process to recover my bookmarks. Unfortunately, I was unable to retrieve my bookmarks even though they were synced previously.

I am writing to ask about my options to recover my bookmarks. These bookmarks hold years of important information, and I cannot possibly find everything again manually. However, I have deleted everything from my old system, so I am not sure what options are available to retrieve my bookmarks.

Please help me to get them back somehow.... I read other posts saying that syncing is not a safe way for backup but I am lost here. My only option is to recover somehow from your servers but how would I do that??

If I go to "Import and Backup" I only have one option of restoration but it's not my old one, it's just the one created today.

Please try and help me to recover them.

Thank you,

When I'm using the kayosports.com.au video streaming service website on Firefox (version: 110.0.1) the right arrow button to navigate the media content shelf rows so that I can see what else is streaming does not register when clicked with the mouse. Previously I was using version 109 of Firefox and the same bug was happening with that version as well.

When using the kayosports.com.au website on Brave Browser the right arrow button responses just fine when clicked with the mouse, just not with Firefox.

I'm using Windows 10 21H2 on a Desktop PC.

The "Try now" button at

        https://www.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/111.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=110.0.1 

which leads to the sample PDF at

        https://assets.mozilla.net/wnp111-en/wnp-fx111-en.pdf  

will not accept input. Am I missing a setting?

Windows 11 - Just updated. Firefox - Just updated.

We are using firefox on Redhat 7 workstations and, when we first open firefox and attempt to load a web address it takes 25-30 seconds to connect.

After that first attempt, web addresses load almost instantly.

Our systems are only connected to a local network and not the internet, if that makes a difference. Also, we are using web addresses and not IP addresses. When I try by Ip address it's much faster, but I get the security risk warning for the ssl cert. So I'm not sure if my issue is something between firefox and dns, or if it has to do with the SSL certs? Both dns and ssl are handled by Red Hat IDM.

We are seeing the same behavior on all of our workstations.

When using Microsoft Outlook Online, I cannot right click and paste into the body of the email when using Firefox. The paste function does not even show up as an option. This use to work until I downloaded the most current version of windows 11. I can CTRL V and it will paste. It works on Edge and other browsers.

All of my Gmail accounts are set to give me a notification when I have a new email. Until today it has worked perfectly. Now I hear the tone, but the notification does not show up. Earlier, I was getting a Firefox notification when I got a new email, which is something I had never seen before. That has disappeared and now I'm getting nothing except the tone.

Hello,

Anyone else having a problem with firefox breaking itself and refusing to load any more pages till you forcibly close it? Open as many new tabs as you want, it will never ever load a new page. Open new firefox windows, still won't load anything. Open edge, chrome or IE and it will instantly load whatever page you want.

Close all the firefox windows and try and start a new one, firefox tells you it's still running and needs to be forcibly closed. Everything back to normal as soon as you do so, besides loosing literally everything you were doing.

I used to just think it was hackaday.io, but it's now clear it's entirely at random when it happens.

This is clearly a firefox issue that's been happening for at least 6 months or more. I've about had it, and am about to start looking for alternatives.

Hi, I have been using firefox for a long time and have been quite happy with it, but not so long ago (I suspect that it started happening after the update from 14.3.) I have begun experiencing a really annoying bug/feature and have not been able to fix it myself.

The Bug: When watching any video on any site with fullscreen on, after going to desktop and back (with the three finger down gesture on the touchpad and then three fingers back up) to check the time, the video playing suddenly minimizes (goes out of fullscreen mode) and the whole site goes into fullscreen mode, just as if I have pressed f11 which i didn't a aslo dont want, i know that it seems as a minor issue but it is extremely frustrating as I have been using this for a long time now, and i cant just check time like this anymore.

What have I tried: I have tried doing this in incognito, disabling all addons, messing with settings, trying troubleshooting mode, logging out, and doing the same thing in chrome which doesn't do it.

If anyone has any advice, i would be very grateful, thanks.

Hi I have recently posted an issue of mine so I have decided to ask about this as well.

The Problem: On my schools website there are records of my schools lectures. When I try to load them on the page they just load infinitely and don't play, I can even try to open them up in a new tab and the same happens. Sometimes i get lucky and they play without an issue for a while and then stop and infinitely load again, the funny thing is it happend on the exact spot twice. It isn!t an issue of my wifi or the school's server as the videos load on chrome just fine.

What have I tried: I have tried doing this in incognito, disabling all addons, messing with settings, trying troubleshooting mode, logging out, clearing out cache and cookies.

I would be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions,

Thanks.

Hi there, Just letting you know that after years of using and being super happy with firefox, today I´ve been forced to use Explorer because I´m creating a campaign in facebook and when I try to upload 3d photos and see timelines with 3d photos the pages stop working. Please check this issue ASAP!

Everything works in Explorer

Hello,

After updating Firefox this morning, I am unable to log into my Intuit account. It works on Chrome. I have spent 3 hours with intuit customer support trying to fix this, to no avail.

Any ideas?

received a firefox update on 16/3/2023. Since then if i open skynews.com or itvnews.com and click on a story firefox has about 75% chance of freezing and I have to use task manager to end it.

Same intermittently happens with netflix. When it happens netflix loads but the left and righ caret do not appear against my list and it freezes at that point. This is less frequent than the crashes with the above sites, about 30% chance. If I have multiple firefox windows open they all crash. If I use google there is no problem. This only happened after the update to 111.0 (64bit)

Hi, I get an email daily from Euro news group but the links don't work anymore and I don't have any way to allow permission to load the page. I use a VPN so my security should be good. It all worked OK a month ago and if I do a search for Euro News and click the link, the page loads without a problem. Regards, David.

Hey,

So i made the switch from Chrome to Firefox. But the main annoying thing is that when im watching a video on YouTube or literally anywhere, if i scroll down on my WACOM drawing pad/trackpad the video will fastforward, and when i scroll up the video will rewind. Its EXTREMELY annoying and i really need to figure out a way to disable this, because Chrome doesnt do this, but Firefox does.

please helppp
