I-Firefox Community Forum

Ever since the last update, Firefox doesn't open the homepage automatically. Unless I click the home button (or click another bookmark), the browser just times out without loading anything. I tried opening in troubleshoot mode but the same thing happens there too -- nothing loads. I tried refreshing, but all that did was change the toolbar a bit (removed the home button, so I needed to restore it). I haven't been able to find anything in the settings that would account for this behavior. Help!

Hi, I'm having some issues with Firefox. I'm opening a website (which I usually visit) even slower than with Tor at the same time. I'd love to know why and how to fix it.

For a few months, and I've seen this happen randomly over the last 5-10 years - pressing enter doesn't work, and sometimes dragging a new link into the empty tab space next to the tabs creates a new tab with the URL in the URL box, but not 'opened'

Does firefox have some issue with loading a web page?

I use ublock origin on default settings, and violent-monkey and stylish for scripting.. but would that disable searching google from a new tab?

Recently several apps that I have used for a long time are, for the first time, requiring 2 factor authentication, including Facebook. Additionally, apps which I had accessed with user name & password, now saved and unchanged, but that I do not "own" are also requiring two factor authentication - in particular, Google Drive. Has something changed?

Dear Firefox,

when I test the render info by this link: https://kdashg.github.io/misc/webgl/low-power.html (kindly shared by jgilbert@mozilla.com)

for Mac Pro m3 chip

Firefox give me the following info: {"powerPreference":"low-power"}

 => Apple M1, or similar

{}

 => Apple M1, or similar

{"powerPreference":"high-performance"}

 => Apple M1, or similar

edge/chrome give me the correct info: {"powerPreference":"low-power"}

 => ANGLE (Apple, ANGLE Metal Renderer: Apple M3 Pro, Unspecified Version)

{}

 => ANGLE (Apple, ANGLE Metal Renderer: Apple M3 Pro, Unspecified Version)

{"powerPreference":"high-performance"}

 => ANGLE (Apple, ANGLE Metal Renderer: Apple M3 Pro, Unspecified Version)

I wonder what lead to this and how can I get more detail info for M3 chips by your API?

Thanks in advance. FT

I'm no longer able to play youtube videos on Firefox. I've tried everything from re-starting laptop (this worked initially) to refreshing/ updating Firefox browser as well as clearing Firefox cache and cookies. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, MC chowbabyhi@aol.com

p.s. youtube does work and play on my Edge browser

I go in and set the Search engine to DuckDuckGo but it defaults back to Google every time I start the app again. Firefox 128.6.0esr macOS 14.7.2.

Will return to my previous browser if FF doesn't allow my choice of Search engine.

I reinstalled windows yesterday. When I installed firefox and signed it, everything was fine. However, this morning, it seems to have removed 80% of my bookmarks. When I try to restore from the bookmarks yesterday, it just gives me the ones that I have this morning. I had tons and tons of resource bookmarks for my work that would be almost impossible to re-find in some cases due to the current state of search engines. Is there any way to salvage them? It seems like sync believes they never existed, but it DID sync them yesterday??? Please help.

The font size in "Manage Bookmarks" is way too large, both in the sections list menu on the left and the list of bookmarks. I checked my userChrome.css file as well as the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx entry in about:config and there's nothing there to explain why only the "Manage Bookmarks" text is so large.

It's possible I changed a setting somewhere that's causing this. But I'm stumped re: what setting might be controlling the font size in only that UI. All other Firefox text sizes are good.

Thanks to anyone who knows where I should be looking

Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 10

Okay, I know this is a weird, super niche, and kind of ridiculous question, but who doesn't want to have their cake and eat it too? Basically, I want two browser windows open, when I open a tab, or switch a tab in one window, it does the exact same thing in the second window. Maybe someone knows if this is possible.

Since I'm sure you are scratching your head right now, I have a multi-monitor setup, two horizontal and one vertical. At any given time I have 6 to 10 windows open across the three of them, and another 10 to 15 windows minimized (and for what it is worth, currently 132 tabs, but that's about to go up after I finish this post). In some cases I work off of lists, and in all cases I have so many tabs open TreeStyleTabs is a must.

For working off a list, or for navigating between tabs, a longer vertical window is preferred; however, for working on an account or using portals a wider horizontal window is usually preferred, with some exceptions. I'd love it if I could get the best of both worlds, have the same window on two monitors, that way I can use the vertical aspect of it to reference my lists, and open/navigate between accounts, but actually work on the accounts on my horizontal window.

If this is impossible, I won't lose sleep over it, but if this is possible, omg is my productivity going to go up by like 1%, which is around 30 to 45 minutes a week, that's like over a free day of work a year.

I can no longer open my gmail in firefox. I need to open chrome to load my gmail and I never use chrome. So why can't I load gmail into my firefox account. Everything else is loaded except my gmail.

134.0.x has seemingly brought in a conflict in the system. When I have Firefox open, the mouse becomes jumpy, the keyboard is often interrupted, and if any music is playing on the system, it becomes a buzzing sound. This buzzing is coincident with the keyboard and mouse issues. I have added no new software or hardware to the system, a Windows 10 desktop. This update has forced me to revert to Edge if I have any need to write, use the mouse, play a YouTube video. Thank you.

I've used Firefox for many years. The past month or so weather radar doesn't come up on multiple weather sites, pages are slow to load or don't load, getting error codes on video's, pictures don't always load, and many other problems. I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed the current browser and I still have all these problems. I'm having to use another browser now. I run Windows 11 on my PC.

I'm trying to access my https://mypay.dfas.mil account, but, though previously all was well, now an error message tells me that you "can't connect to the server".

I have a network connection, but apparently Firefox may no longer have "permission to access to the web". I'm sure this is wrong because I can still access pretty much everything in the normal way, including other government sites, such as Social Security, using the Login.gov portal, though mypay is not listed as 'connected.'

What happened, and how do I fix it? Also, the error message says that I should "Check that Firefox has permission". How do I do that?
