Firefox Community Forum

I have used Firefox for more years than I care to remember, but at the moment I'm forced to use Safari, which is OK but missing several vital features for me like translating Greek web pages!

The problem I have is this:- Whenever My M2 macbook Air running Sonoma 14.7.2 goes to sleep and wake it the screen is flickering and needs a hard restart. After lots of trial and error it appears to be something to do with Firefox version 133.0.3 (aarch64) as it only happens when I leave Firefox running.

I have run the Apple offline diagnostics multiple times immediately after the crash but I never get any reported errors. Interestingly I get no dialog from Apple that my Mac has crashed or needed to be restarted

I have restarted my Mac into safe mode, same problem

I have refreshed Firefox several times, same problem

Any help woulld be much appreciated!

Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to you all

Thank you, Peter

I have tried installing extensions on https://addons.mozilla.org. Everything else online works fine, but https://addons.mozilla.org gives me "Download failed. Please check your connection. " after 10 minutes of loading icon. Browsing works fine. I have tried with and without a VPN. It used to work. Other devices, and firefox on dualbooted linux work fine.

I switch from Chrome to Firefox and imported all my "bookmarks". How do I view all the folders I had in my Chrome bookmarks? If I click the >> at the top, the bookmarks are not listed the way they were on Chrome, and I can't find the numerous folders of bookmarks that I had set up. In the saved links that do show up in the list, I see hundreds of links but they are unorganized. An outdated folder that says "Imported from IE" shows up in the list several times, but it's not the list I had on Chrome. Help ;>)

The issue is I do not have "Pictures" highlighted under the "Insert" menu. However, I do have "Attach file" which I did but once attached to the email I cannot drag the picture into the text and scale it as in the past.

When I try to insert/drag the picture into the text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: Filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears at the very top of the display.

"Link", "Pictures", "Emoji", and "Table" are all not hi-lighted. Do not know why???

Says Firefox is up to date!

I have tried to resolve this issue recently with no results.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Around 12/28/2024 my LastPass Password Manager extension dropped off my Firefox. When I tried to reinstall nothing happens except the flashing dots, which just go on. The LassPass extension does work on my Chrome browser (only used as a backup, Firefox using Duckduckgo rules)

Steps I have taken. Relaunched firefox. Rebooted laptop Deleted all Lastpass cookies. Did a firefox refresh. Tried to install older version of lastpass, they download but won't let me add.

Please Help? Thanks

Why am I getting this message quite often for the last few weeks? When I am following a link to a new website I get this message much more than I ever did in the past.

Trying to enable NextDNS for DNS over HTTP but it shows as not active (TRR_PARENTAL_CONTROL). I do not have any parental controls enabled on this device so im not sure whats causing this isssue.

I got an email that my account was signed in to. I logged in and found a connected service. I tried to sign them out, and the system will not allow me to do so. I was able to sign out a different one, but not this one. Please advise.

In the last few days, I´ve noticed that even when I don´t have Firefox (my default browser) open, if I open an application, such as MS Word or Viber a Firefox browser opens: "https://mmrtb.com/bonus/com-eu-1-9831/pt-lp1.php?c=4qz1i3cjz62z1&k=44054a8f2a8266ec8cbf5c4400bbcb38&country_code=PT&carrier=NOS&country_name=Portugal&region=Aveiro&city=Oliveira%20De%20Azemeis&isp=Nos%20Comunicacoes,%20S.A.&lang=en&os=Windows%2010&osv=&browser=Firefox&browserv=133&brand=Desktop&model=Desktop&marketing_name=Desktop&tablet=4&rheight=768&rwidth=768&e=5"

I´ve checked everything I can think of, including Temp files, browser cache. I´ve even scanned the registry and all open processes. I´ve also installed another Malware scanner / eliminator, and no spyware or viruses are found. I cannot find anything. What is coming up is something that looks like a raffle or lottery for my ISP, but that doesn´t exist. if I cut and paste the url into a different browser, it takes me to adds for adult websites.

I´ve installed a site blocker as a Firefox browser extension, but I´m still getting the window pop up. I´ve attached a screen shot of what I get now that I´m blocking it. Once I close it, it still randomly loads again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I can not access duck duck go from the firefox web browser version 133.0.3 either by typing it as an address in the bar nor by using it as the default search engine in settings. Google and you tube are blocked on our network by a firewall. Duck Duck go used to work, but at some point stopped. This is on mulptiple PC's and Chromebooks.

I see the following sites show up on the firewall's blocked list when I startup Firefox Desktop: (See Attached photo)

When I type in www.duckduckgo.com on the address bar I get a "server not found" error. If I search for any search query in the address bar with duck duck go set as the default search engine, I get a server not found error.

I can use an apple phone device with safari browser and cell data turned off to access duck duck go's website and complete searches while connected to our network.

I can browse yahoo.com and complete searches with no problem.

In Gmail, when I try to attach a file, the Firefox upload window opens. It used to have a sidebar on the left (see picture from another computer) with a directory, including the option "Quick access." That is gone now, and I don't see any setting to restore it, not can I find any instructions online on how to restore that sidebar.

I have noticed that Firefox has some severe performance issues, whether it be playing Youtube videos, or loading websites, or even loading localhost while running a node server, which doesn't even require an internet connection, yet it takes time to reload the page, which instead only takes an instant on Chrome.

Youtube brought up in the broswer works fine with audio/video but on other websites I can view the video and can't hear the audio.

I have a brand new Pc, with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900x processor, and an Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics processor.

Operating system is Windonws 11

When loading firefox, all words "corrupt" when the cursor is moved over them. Either they create blank spaces, ascii keys or just general gibberish.

This does not happen with Microsoft Edge.

All drivers are up to date and I have deinstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice.

On YouTube tabs, if Firefox memory usage starts climb (ie. more than 3-4 tabs active), there are janks for a few seconds preventing me from interacting with the YouTube tab. This jank does not happen with other tabs (can even interact normally with other tabs while the YT tab is janking). Attached is a profiler report.
