Firefox is constantly (in some cases up to 12 x per incident) showing a pop up window asking for permission (allow or deny, until quit or forever etc) to connect to a website or address. Example: at website even when allowed forever it begins all over again when click further down the page or go to another page. Using a Mac os catalina and latest firefox.

thanks for any help

I am trying to sign into my local bank account using Firefox. I am getting a 502 BAD GATEWAY . It was working okay before Nov 1st.

I can access bank account with Chrome and my Cell phone.

hi, ive been using reading mode and noticed that both in html and in reading mode, several chinese characters are missing. i checked wikipedia's multilingual support and got this result. any help? i get an encoding error like this: 𰵕 and 𰪱.

i've downloaded all language fonts, i've checked my prefs.js, any other actions i can take?

I can't add some add-ons: - Norton Password Manager - Tab Session Manager - To Google Translate - Undo Close Tab

After installation 131.0.3 I lost all my add-ons except : ESET Browser Privacy & Security Firefox Color

I also do not have any add-on icons on the toolbar except built-in functions as: send to pocket, history, account, private window and so on.

Suddenly I do not get any result when seaching allthough I know there are a person with thw name or a topic. I have used Thunderbird for a long time and very often used the search facility. But not now :-(

Some web site developers abuse functionality built into web browsers, apparently in an attempt to be more annoying, and most often as a very aggressive form of advertising.

A classic example of this is DeviantArt who track the location of your mouse pointer on a page to pop up irritating little suggestions which prevent you clicking on a link or even seeing it. eBay are bad for this sort of nonsense too.

An example on DeviantArt is when viewing a new 'deviation' (piece of art), sometimes/often, if you should choose to click on the 'deviant' name (basically the person who posted it), a 'tip' will pop up which completely obscures the link you were about to click suggesting "No-one's commented yet. Be the first!". It happens an awful lot and it's infuriating, but DeviantArt use this technique all throughout their site tracking your pointer to pop up annoying hints and suggestions as you navigate the site.

Now I don't see why sites should feel entitled to know where my mouse pointer is as I move it about a page.

The only time my pointer location matters as far as I am concerned is when I choose to either left or right click on something. Even then, it is what I have left/right clicked on, not it's location on the page, which matters.

I don't wish for the pointer location to be continuously relayed to the website.

Clearly it is a functionality which is built into both the site and the browser that it tracks your pointer, sending a steady stream of position data to the host site.

I wish to be able to prevent that.

If I were using a touchscreen device there would be no mouse pointer they could spy on yet the sites which abuse this functionality cope just fine with that when I view them on my handheld touchscreen devices.

I wish for Firefox to have the functionality to stop this steady stream of mouse pointer coordinates being given to the host site.

How is it possible to do this please ?

Many thanks!

Hi! I recently upgraded from my S22 Ultra that had zero problems with connectivity to a Pixel 9 and so far it's been great except for one issue - I can't log into some websites with Firefox

Giffgaff for example asks for human verification every time I load the site and when I try to log in it says there was a connection issue. This doesn't happen on Opera GX or Chrome, but I've compared the settings on Firefox on my S22 to my pixel and they're identical. The issue only happens on my pixel 9.

I've tried common fixes provided by Google searches but nothing has yet worked. I've also disabled all add-ons and reinstalled the app. I REALLY don't want to change browsers for this and hope that someone here has a fix!

App version: 132.0 Usual Add-ons: Ublock Origin, Dark Reader, Google Search Fixer

I tried to open this streaming video from CBS News. It won't open on Firefox but it does play on Chrome. Both browsers are updated to the latest version. (Android)

Why do I keep getting a never ending spinning wheel when I try to purchase an item using my credit card online? I am using Windows 10 OS. My credit card is valid with no restrictions or credit issues. Never had an issue before this. Seems like this started happening right after Nov. 1st, 2024. The transaction never reaches the credit card company and no transaction is decline by the credit card company. As a matter of fact they never receive any attempt to purchase any item using my credit card. The spinning wheel never stops and gives me no reason why I can't connect to the provider that the credit card company is using.I'm baffled. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am running Firefox for Mac OSX. On newsites, especially, pages reload automatically before I've finished. How do I stop Firefox from auto-reloading pages? Thanks.

I have Thunderbird connected to a number of providers including hotmail and OVH, all configured for IMAP. OS = Linux Mint

Everything was working fine until I installed the upgrade to 128.4 offered by the Linux Mint update manager.

Since then it takes a very long time to even send a simple email with CPU usage going up to or even over 100% (multi-cores). Even in normal usage with nothing happening Thunderbird is using 25% of the CPU.

The sending process often times out giving a message that says the connection was lost to the SMTP server.

Ever since I had my volla phone with android 10 OS the fennec browser keeps shutting down in the middle of browsing. It happens to any page at any time whether in normal or private browsing. The times seem to vary from 10 mins to 1 hour of browsing, usually not much more. The version of fennec is 91.2.0 (build#912120) My volla phone is volla phone x serial no. GX290PRO0015214 build no. QQ3A.200805.001 Regardless of age or updating it has always done it and ideally it should not. The fix should ideally be more than just have you tried upgrading versions, unless its a known bug and a fix is available. Thanks in anticipation.

Translation extension on firefox doesn't have an option for translating Chinese. I downloaded all the available languages and Chinese was not among them however I have found in the past that Chinese is the language which I most often come across sites,web pages, apps,etc written in and needing translated into English.

microsoft update killed your audio with blocking asio.sys audio works with both chrome and edge, but blocking asio.sys killed your audio only. are you going to develop a fix for this, or do i abandon you for the other guys?

I have no idea why, but all of a sudden Twitch streams won't work on Firefox. It's only affecting Twitch because I can load YouTube and other streaming sites fine, and it's only on Firefox because it works fine on Chrome. I tried clearing my cache and cookies, disabling all add-ons and extensions, and restarting my device. Nothing works. The only indication that I have of what the issue might be is a message in the browser console that says this:

NetworkError: A network error occurred. addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

   <anonymous> blob:https://www.twitch.tv/addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

From what I can tell, the blob is where the browser loads the stream itself. Every stream I've tried to load gives me this error.

UPDATE: I was able to fix it by clearing the cache.
