Firefox Community Forum

A few weeks ago I started having occasional problems with access to sites protected by reCAPTCHA. I would get error messages about not being able to connect to reCAPTCHA. Switch to Edge, no problem. This would change from day to day. Sometimes it all works, other times it doesn't, still. Then I started to notice that Google searches in Firefox would sometimes take a long time and eventually fail. Try it a few minutes later sometimes, no problem, instant results. Erratic. Never know when it's going to work and when it's not. Switch to Bing, good to go, always. Google Maps sometimes loads right away, other times it is very slow and may never completely load. Finally, I've noticed that some non-Google sites sometimes load slowly or stall out altogether, commonly with a "Waiting for www.googletagmanager.com" message at the bottom left. I haven't encountered any of these issues in Edge, though granted I seldom use it unless I'm having trouble with Firefox.

This weekend, I did a full computer rebuild, which involved a clean install of Firefox. I was hoping that something in Firefox had got corrupted in my old computer and that the rebuild would take care of it. But, no. Same as before. If this were a problem on Google's end, I'd expect a big howl. As it stands, I think it probably must be Firefox that's at fault.

Anyhow, before I try to submit a bug report, has anyone else experienced this? Better yet, does anyone know a cure?

Thanks.

For some time now I have not been able to access any website secured with Captcha verification. My browser doesn't recognize that I'm a human and keeps going back to square one. Importantly: this problem does not occur in other browsers. However, I would prefer to stay with Mozilla, so it will be nice if something can be done with it. I didn't change any settings, I didn't change hardware, I didn't reinstall Mozilla, so that's not the problem. I've looked through my security settings and don't see anything that would help in this case. Especially since these are websites that I had previously accessed and logged in without any problems.

After downloading a file which is saved to my Mac Download Folder the file is removed once I close the Firefox Web window. I checked the folder before the window was closed and the file was there. After closing the window the file is no longer in the folder. Also it is not in the trash.

When loading certain pages (on web application) the motion icon starts and after several seconds it changes to the sand clock icon despite the setting described in 'https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1303416' being done - ui.prefersReducedMotion set to 'false'. My work is all done in this web app and it is very important to see when data is being uploaded (grey/black dots) and when the page is supposedly being refreshed with updated data being downloaded (blue/green dots). Why is the preference being ignored and how to fix it so you always get the motion?

Is your VPN a scam? Every time I turn off my computer it disappears leaving no trace. Same on my iphone as soon as I close the app it shuts off. What did I pay for please respond or refund my money

https://shop.sportsbasement.com displayed and work 3-4 days ago. Now blank. https://us.muc-off.com/ blank https://www.asp-usa.com/ blank https://byrna.com/ blank

I have cleared cashe, history, Turn VPN off, Turn adblocker off, these were all on when it worked. Now nothing

Recently when accessing Realestate.com Firefox comes up with a blank screen with "Undefined" written in the top left corner of the screen. All other browsers are able to access the site, I have removed cookies and Date and reinstalled Firefox however still cannot access the site.

I've been having a problem with FF for the last two weeks. At times downloads accessing web sites are slow or even get hung up. Usually reloading or refreshing the page fixes the problem. I tried a FF safe boot and things seemed to work better. I have had the same four extensions for quite awhile. Are there any reports of UBO causing issues?

I've had FF for years and never had a problem. In the last week, when i read an email with a link (and other links), it says Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at clicks.aweber.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

As far as I know, I have not changed anything in settings. I'm looking for some resolution on how to fix this. Thanks.

Over the last 6 months, and increasing number of websites don't open on Firefox. I've noticed it most consistently on any of the wikipedia/wikimedia pages, but it's not just those. When I type in an address and press return, or click on a link, the browser just acts as if nothing has happened. There does not show me the loading symbole. If I ask it to open a new tab with the site, the address appears on the tab, but the page itself is just black. Other browsers have no problem loading the same sites. I am on a mac, and using a VPN. Restarting the browser doesn't help, though restarting the computer sometimes does.

Thank you,

When I click on a txt file on a Facebook page Firefox no longer opens the file - it opens another instance of the webpage in a new window. The same link opens as a text file in Chrome.
