Firefox Community Forum

Hello to you up there ! I have Windows 11 - 23H2 up to date ! since 21/1/2025 each time I start Firefox (up to date 134.02 - 64 bits) I get a warning from Malwarebytes Browser Guard that blocks a outgoing request coming from Firefox via port 443 to the IP 82.221.136.1 ( = welcometothemachine.co …. what is that ?? analytics ? AI  ??) .... I am asking myself why is Firefox trying to go to that IP because I never did ask for something like that and how to delete the whole request every time now .... (CCleaner does nothing when used) ... bizarre bizarre behaviour yes ! Who can answer me. Can you please also answer me on geomar@scarlet.be because I would not like to miss the answer ? Thanks.

I have a number in a circle showing up on the Firefox icon on my taskbar. For a while it was a number 1, then that went away. Now I have a number 5 in a circle on the icon.

Since updating to v134.0.2 (win 11) parts of webpages I routinely use will not display/function properly. Generally, the websites crash/fail to display information and/or forms will not submit; I can click the button but no action occurs. This isn't consistent across webpages, but it is consistent on the pages where I experience the issue. I have tried:

• Bulleted list itemclearing my browser history/cookies/cache (obviously)
• Bulleted list itemdisabling/uninstalling my extensions
• Bulleted list itemstarting ff in troubleshoot mode
• Bulleted list itemdouble checking that my firewall still permitted ff to run after the update (per a '22 help article)
• Bulleted list itemuninstalling/reinstalling my vpn to ensure that wasn't randomly interacting badly (it's been fine to date)

Pretty much everything short of a complete reinstall, which i really don't want to do (exporting all my bookmarks sounds like a major headache; i'd almost rather switch browsers until firefox updates again and pray that fixes it, haha). None of these made any difference; anybody have advice??

Thanks!!

I have been using firefox for years. I have made no changes to settings. I got a blue screen yesterday and after that firefox keeps logging me off of everything I close it. I have tried about:preferences#privacy then going to History and clear history when firefox closes and only selecting cache. Does not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox twice but i think it does not delete everyhing. I still have access to history after the reinstall.

Firefox constantly has at minimum 10 to 15 tasks open when I have one or two windows open? I've noticed the same thing happening when using MS Edge. Firefox is is always using up way more of my laptop's resources CPU & Memory. It's very frustrating. Please advise.

Since new Firefox / Mozilla download - can no longer open yahoo mail and several other sites? Why? This includes the Wall Street Journal and an AOL account. Why won't they open? What can I do to fix it? Or should I just stop using Firefox and just use Safari?

I deleted my browser and reinstalled to try and help with some lag issues. Now every time I turn the computer on, this message displays-before I have clicked a link to open FF. What is this trying to tell me exactly?

Hi, I've spent hours and days trying to delete the contents of Firefox's Other Bookmarks folder. I've asked questions and read many replies. I'm only getting suggestions on: how to remove the Other Bookmarks folder from the Bookmarks Toolbar - fairly obvious:) - also that to delete a bookmark just highlight and delete, or CtrlA to select multiple links and delete again fairly obvious. I've also seen long lists of Firefox coding changes I can check and/or apply.

Actually I want Firefox to just work, and NOT save every single website, every single page within a website that I look at, every search I make, and every download I make - as a 'bookmark' If I want to have a folder of unsorted bookmarks I can make one in Bookmarks Menu - in fact I have, it's called Recent tabs for ref, and it contains bookmarks that I'VE chosen to save. I know some people may find Other Bookmarks useful but I want to choose what I bookmark; all the bookmarks I've saved are then saved in named folders.

My problem is this: after using Firefox for years, the other bookmarks folder is now so huge that it's not possible to import all bookmarks into another browser; editing (deleting) the contents of the Other Bookmarks folder is taking ages, I can highlight up to about 500 max links at a time, this takes about 10 mins for the operation to complete and the CPU usage is massive and causing high temperature warnings.

I hadn't realised that webpages were being saved without me choosing to do so - I've always used History for random stuff I may want to look at again. The upshot is that I noticed the other day that Other Bookmarks contained over 18000 links - to practically every site I've ever been to, and transferred from one laptop to another over the years. So fullmarks Firefox for the integrity of the bookmarks database, but please, is there a fix to quickly delete the Other bookmarks folder and its contents, and just stop it from saving stuff I don't want? People seem to have been asking this for years, could we have an answer please? Before my PC burns down? Thank you

I have been having issues for some time with my home page not loading after startup in the mornings. My default browser works fine. But Mozilla Firefox is not! If I shut down numerous times, or do a restart or go into my default browser, Firefox will load after an hr or two of repeated attempts! This has been going on since the last 3 updates. I have plenty of storage left on my computer. I have just done the latest update (134.0.1 (64-bit) - Windows 11. Can anyone throw some light on this issue?
