Firefox — Fora społeczności

Every time I open Firefox, it prompts me for my Primary Password immediately. Skipping the dialog the first time opens a second, identical dialog. It's not being caused by any add-on/extension, because the problem occurs in exactly the same way in Troubleshoot Mode. It's not Sync, because I'm not signed into any Mozilla account. An internet search showed me a page here indicating I should disable Primary Password, then re-enable it. This didn't fix the problem.

Recently, whenever I access a local TV stations news post and try to read it, I get the pop-up shown in the attachment. Why is it happening and what can I do to eliminate it?

My Firefox window keeps expanding to fill the entire computer desktop. I make it smaller, and it expands again. How can I fix this? I like to be able to adjust the size of the window manually and have it stay that way!

For the past few days when I use Firefox and Thunderbird my entire screen will randomly start to flicker, at times very quickly and rarely the entire screen goes black for second or two. This behavior immediately stops when I close the app. It does not happen with any other app. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox and that didn't help. Both apps are on the latest version and I also updated my video driver. Tried removing the two add-ons I have. I'm on Windows 11 Firefox 136.0.

Hello,

I'm new to Firefox after changing from another browser.

I am looking for a setting to turn on notifications from sites such as Instagram to notify me with a pop-up window from the web browser.

Is this not available on Firefox?

If not available, I'd like to suggest this as a new feature.

If it is available, would someone help me find this to turn on when I signed into Instagram? It did not ask me if I wanted to turn on notifications.

Thanks

Hello, I just updated Firefox to version 136 on my MacBook Pro. I was playing a 4k YouTube video, and at 16 minutes and 10 seconds in the video froze. If I moved the cursor the pause button and all of that would come up at the bottom, but when I clicked on the option to exit full screen it did not respond. I pressed the escape button and that did get me out of full screen, but the video window did not apply the right formatting. I'll include a screenshot so that you can see what I am talking about. After exiting full screen, if you look at the bottom of the video window, the option to go back to full screen is cut off. Closing Firefox and relaunching it appears to have things working again, at least for now. I thought it would be best to report this just in case it isn't an isolated glitch.

Hi, I use Firefox all the time, love it. But I have noticed a problem.

If I have say 7 tabs open, none of them doing anything, then go away from my laptop for say 20 minutes, when I come back the fans on the laptop are screaming. Even if it was minimise.

I have a fairly modern laptop Dell GSeries1522, 12th gen processor, 16gb ram, i7.

I have tested this issue using Edge and Chrome with exactly the same tabs open and the laptop is all quiet. I'm on the precipice of moving to Edge. Happy to provide more information. Task Manager now shows FF using 1223.0mb of memory, Edge 466.7mb. They are both in "efficiency mode".

Any help or advice would be great.

I already have "Automatically install updates" and "When Firefox is not running" enabled.

But after each Firefox update I still get the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." prompt and "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments" window. These are inconvenient as they require user input and take up time.

I don't get these on all other browsers I use (including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave), which all update in the background seamlessly.

Is there a way to prevent these in Firefox and just have Firefox update seamlessly in the background like other browsers?

I use firefox beta and noticed that firefox always closes exactly when a new hour hits. The moment it hits say exactly 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, or so on for every hour of the day, the app crashes. I also tried this on the standard firefox and the same thing happens. I even decided to alter my device time in settings and set the time to 11.59 only to have the app crash the moment it turns 12. This is the same for any other time of day I set. I tried changing battery optimization and storage restrictions/optimization and nothing seems to work.

Hey everyone,

I’m running into a frustrating issue with Firefox. Whenever I paste a large amount of text (especially code) in one go, Firefox freezes and becomes unresponsive. This happens frequently in various web apps like ChatGPT and Make.com.

It’s not a one-time thing—it happens consistently when pasting large blocks of text. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue, or is there a way to fix it? Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
