Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox twice using two different ways found on the community/mozilla website through chrome and I am still having trouble. It started a couple weeks ago when I received a notice at the top right hand of my firefox page for an update. I tried and it shows as Unable to connect. I tried various ways to connect with mozilla with no luck. I uninstalled, restarted my computer and reinstalled twice and still having the same issue. I lost all my plug ins and add ons after the reinstall and now I can't not even get them and can no longer sign into my firefox account through firefox. Anything that has to do with mozilla I can not reach unless I use chrome which I don't like doing. I have searched the community and nothing seems to help and I even submitted a help question in help community but no responders. Anything which I found addressing Unable to Connect was years old anyway. I can only assume it had to do with the update pop up which I never got to do and assumed a refresh or a reinstall would take care of it but it hasn't. What can I do? Thank You, Charyl

Got a new W11 computer and I know I've stopped it before.

I found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1284577 on a search, but that didn't work and the answer is archived so I can't comment on it.

Where are the valid instructions?

Also, should I undo that? What other things might that now be doing?

I believe there is a memory leak (or memory growth) bug in Firefox 133.0 on Windows 10. It's site-specific. I am trying to login to my account at https://www.ssa.gov/, and it never actually gets to the login prompt. Using the Windows task manager, I can see the RAM usage keeps increasing, until it nears the 12 GB installed RAM capacity, at which time I kill the firefox process. I'd say this is a bug in ssa.gov, except the problem does not occur with the google chrome browser.

To provide further detail, I go to site https://www.ssa.gov/, and click on the "sign in" button. That takes me to the page where you choose the login method (id.me or login.gov) and I choose "id.me". It takes me to the "you are leaving Social Security's website " message, which is still on the ssa.gov website. At that point, firefox memory usage starts to increase, as shown in task manager. The browser never advances to the next page, but main memory usage keeps going up. This goes on for about 30 seconds before I have to kill the firefox process.

I've asked about this before but got no help Firefox is my browser of choice. Occasionally, I find in necessary to use Chrome.

The vast majority of time, when are both are active at the same time, one or both crash, like today. Firefox closed abruptly, then the crash report appeared. I have the crash report. Chrome froze up, and had to be shut down in Task Manager.

It only occurs in this scenario. Rarely does Firefox crash otherwise.

Can someone please advise where to go to get help?

What can I do to have Firefox be compatible with my emails. When I open an email for the local newspaper, the news paper is distorted and enlarged 200% and asks me to sign in. Everything was fine until the most recent Firefox update.

I want to remove the recent update which results in Firefox and some of my email links to be incompatible. The newspaper link works on Safari but I do most of my activity on Firefox.

Also, the email link works fine on Google Chrome. But I hate Google Chrome and don't want to use it. I would prefer that the Firefox browser be compatible with sites such as my local newspaper.

Why do I keep getting pop-ups that 500% zoom in on the page with a message asking for me to clear cache? I have cleared my cache multiple times and restarted my computer many times as well, but it is still been a recurring problem for the past few days. It has been happening on every web page I visit, and even when there is no data to be cleared. Any information on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I've noticed since a few upgraded of Firefox tat I am having an issue loading my local uTorrent GUI at: https://192.168.0.xxx:36724/gui/index.html. I am currently using 132.0.2 x64 and it eventually loads after 3-4 minutes. There are absolutely zero add-ons at the moment, and it does not matter if it is a portable version or standard installed version. I do not seem to have this issue while using Firefox (latest) ESR portable version.

Is there something I'm missing here? I am not sure if it is the port that's the issue with Firefox, because I have a local website using port 9090 and 8080 without any issues on loading. Also, it is happening with the nightly version of FF as well. All other browsers load quickly.

Kind regards,

Shedrock

I've encountered a bug in Mozilla Firefox where the browser becomes unresponsive when using Solid State Drives (SSDs), specifically PCI-E 3.0 SSDs with a 960GB M.2-110mm drive https://serverorbit.com/solid-state-drives-ssd/pci-e3-0-ssd/960gb-m-2-110mm. The issue seems to occur when multiple tabs are open, and the browser struggles to keep up with the data processing. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and are there any known fixes or workarounds?

FedEx updated their website and you can't see the legacy site anymore. I am not able to view/print FedEx invoices on Mozilla - but it works on Microsoft Edge. Why can't I view/print from Mozilla?

Thanks for your help!

As of v133 the system color is now longer shown at the top of the page. Everything at the top is now gray which I find to be very irritating. Please return the system color functionality.

I need help making disappear the lateral bar but looks imposible, I have tried deleting this from customize toolbar but I still see it, I do not want it because it takes space from my really small laptop screen.

This problem started when I updated the laptop and I guess firefox also

I saw else where disabling hardware acceleration fixes this, but how about you actually fix hardware acceleration!?! It exists so I don't have unneeded load on my CPU

Recently many sites have (for reasons I cannot fathom) introduced a pre-login form: ie a form that requires a username to be entered before an password text box is provided. This seems to be a trend and it is incredibly annoying.

The issue I have is that FF does not recognise the page/form as a login page and therefore does not provide a list of usernames for the domain in question.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I want to know how to stop word prediction in text input boxes. I can't see the word I am typing with it in the way. I do my own spell checking and seeing the word I'm typing is required. I don't use any word prediction suggestions anyway. I am not so lazy or incompetent that I don't actually use my keyboard for typing and I absolutely have to see what I'm typing as I am doing so. I've looked all through the settings in Firefox settings and did a search to see if it was something Windows related and also did a search here which only came up with 1 result which was unrelated. Thanks for any help on this.

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048
