On updating to linux mint 22.3 - cannot type anything in firefox in address box, search and primary password or anywhere else within firefox - have uninstalled & reinstalled but nothing happens

Search bars are stuttering and videos audio is running twice at the same time, sometimes three times over top one another so garbled up you can't understand the audio. When I type in duckduckgo search or any web page search bar, it happened on Chewy, & Walmart, search bars also. Example: (Search: MetallicaMetallica JamesJames Hetfield ) Everytime I hit space bar it adds the same word again.

I am a Cacti developer and we are considering switching from FontAwesome Web Fonts to Tabler Web Fonts. However, on Firefox for Windows only, we are having a major slowdown when using the Tabler SVG based webfonts. The page load is first stalled by Firefox apparently loading all the Web Fonts, which would appear normal with any browser (though exceedingly slow on Firefox for some reason).

However, once the page is loaded, when going off tab to another browser tab, and then back to the Firefox tab that includes the Tabler webfonts, there is a 3 second delay before the tab switches. When we enable the performance analyzer, we find that the delay is almost 100% Reflow of the page, even though the page is static as this point (no changes) from the last time it was activated.

We do not have this issue on Firefox for Linux, MS Edge or any other Chromium browser, only Firefox on Windows. I'm using the latest version 134. Should I be opening a bug?

I use a Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.7.2. Each time I attempt to login to https://music.amazon.com, Firefox freezes which then requires me to quit Firefox and restart. Therefore, I need to use another browser to access the site. What is the solution to this issue?

I have Firefox 152.3 (73911) on iPhone with the latest iOS 26.5.2 On Firefox, web pages not showing up when switched between open apps on iPhone.

I can see web pages on Safari.

I'm using Firefox 141.0 on OpenSuse Tumbleweed with KDE and Wayland. I'm using Firefox with two profiles: work and personal - which is (usually) awesome, until suddenly it's not.

Then, one or both profiles seem to become corrupted, and closing firefox, opening it, choosing either profile just hangs forever. My old tabs show up, but clicking on any tab, for any site, just hangs forever, and no page is ever loaded. Sometimes restarting helps, but sometimes not. Sometimes restarting 2 or 3 times and then suddenly it will work. But normally, I have to just delete all my profiles, and re-create them. Fortunately everything is synced with Firefox sync. Then everything will work wonderfully for a bit - although I have to re-login to everything.  :-(

Any ideas? This is a huge pain and productivity killer. I really love firefox, but this sucks.

I have removed Firefox and installed fresh the latest version 137.0.1 to address the issue of not being able to start a new tab or a new window. I am writing this from the initial window that opens when Firefox is launched. If I try to open a new tab it will hang with the blue circle displaying. If I click anywhere on the window if will grey out the background and display the error message :

Firefox is not responding

if you close the program, you might lose information

-> Close the program -> Wait for the program to respond

Tried waiting and it never comes back. Only option is to close the program. After that there is a message that is reporting the issue to Microsoft.

Just a note that I had a lot of probem with the firefox not opening when a link is being clicked. It would open in background but not come to focus.

External hyperlinks do not open in Firefox window.

I found that focusmanager.testmode was the cuplrit, after a lot of hard work.

Every couple of minutes Firefox just freezes. YouTube buffers, all open tabs just stop working. I can open new tabs but i cannot search up anything or go into any websites. Is there any fix for this?

I've been using Tabliss on Firefox without any issues, but immediately after updating to Firefox 151.0, a frustrating new loading delay started happening.

Prior to the update, new tabs loaded instantly. Now, whenever I open a new tab, the page sits on a completely blank screen for about 2 seconds before the Tabliss layout, background image, and widgets finally pop in.

Because this issue did not exist at all before version 151.0, it seems like the latest browser update changed how extension-based new tabs are cached or initialized, causing a new rendering bottleneck.

this site at mlb.com or any site showing a live game eventually freezes up and cannot be closed normally. task manager or re-boot is only way out, starting over with a new instance of firefox after ending all firefoxes.

this has been happening just this past few days, after firefox updated to 143.0 on windows 11 using defender, no other screwed up security software.

firefox needs to fix this, it is not likely anything with the site but rather with firefox latest update, as this has always worked before on this same computer.

Whenever I start my machine, without opening Firefox, Ctrl-Shift-I works (For inverting selections in certain programs, for example).

However, once I open Firefox, these 3 keys no longer work when used together (but work in any other combo).

This persists even when I close Firefox, or kill it in Task manager.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I’m experiencing a serious issue after updating Firefox to version 150. Since the update, Firefox frequently freezes and crashes, making it almost impossible to work normally.

My laptop has 16 GB of RAM, and I’m using Windows 10. When I check Task Manager, I can see that Firefox’s memory usage suddenly increases to around 7–8 GB, then drops back down to around 3–4 GB. The memory usage keeps fluctuating heavily.

Also, the number of Firefox processes/tabs in Task Manager keeps increasing, and eventually the browser becomes completely unresponsive.

Could you please investigate this issue and let me know how it can be fixed?

Thank you.

Top bar reappears after page scrolled down, preventing further scrolling, but when releasing finger at the top of the screen the bar completely disappears and doesn't come back.
