Firefox Community Forum

Hi I’ve been searching online relentlessly for a solution to a problem I’m encountering with Firefox. The font it uses for Persian language is extremely difficult to read. Consequently, I’ve switched to Safari, which offers a significantly better font for Persian.

Firefox also encounters an issue with hashtags on Twitter. The hashtagged words appear in the same font as Safari, while the rest of the tweet is displayed in the default Firefox font.

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me fix this. I’d also like to know which font Safari uses for Persian language.

Thanks.

Hello I have an application that shows forms where the input fields are inserted on table columns. When the column contains two fields sometimes the second field is showed not in the same line.

It must be said that the second field is added after the creation of the form.

Whit Chrome and Edge the form is showed correctly. At thislink the behavior can be seen. Thanks

For the last several days, YouTube has been increasingly unusable. The most obvious hindrance is when playing/pausing a video, or attempting to adjust volume using the native control overlay on any video. It lags substantially, my cursor often disappearing entirely & attempting to pause or resume playback takes several seconds.

Using Firefox's task manager, YouTube is monopolizing roughly 2-3 GB of RAM when playback is paused, and CPU consumption will range from 0-95% - when playing a video/utilizing the tab, it tends to stay reliably closer to 50-100%. I have also run Firefox Profiler while resuming and pausing a video, which is here: Profiler Data. I am not particularly literate with this kind of data though, so I have no comment on its contents.

My extensions, by comparison, average roughly 500 MB and no more than 1% CPU utilization at any given time. I do use uBlock Origin, as well as Tab Session Manager, cookies.txt, Honey, Fakespot, Ruffle, and TWP.

I am sure this is far more of a YouTube problem than a Firefox problem, but are there solutions available? I have seen discussions on other platforms regarding the issue, but it seems like solutions are in short supply - telling YouTube to bias in favor of AV1/VP9 had no impact, and I'm hesitant to download more extensions to attempt to bandaid the issue.

Thank you :)

I no longer have my firefox homepage, with news, weather, mail etc using my.yahoo.com My wife's disappeared from her account as well. What can I do?

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I'm trying to set up Firefox on a new Chromebook and running into several problems. 1) when I attempt to sync and save data, the camera option says no camera. The email option says address not found. 2) Same problem with the Firefox Help link - address not found. 3) Under the Setting menu, I don't see anything that would allow me to load in Safe mode

Thanks, David W

Firefox seems to run slow. I rebooted my new Windows 11 computer (Dell Inspiron 16, Intel Core 11), opened up Task Manager, then opened Firefox. I have one browser page open with one Firefox tab, yet the Task Manager is appearing to tell me there are 9 Firefox "pages" (?) open; see attached image. What is this? Why is this? Is it slowing performance? I have run Firefox for several years and would like to keep doing so; just not sure I can deal with the slow performance. Thank you for your consideration & assistance.

I can't watch Twitch live stream and videos after updated.When I watching live stream on Twitch, the stream start showing some old tv effect but in colours green. I thought was Twitch problem, then I changed to watch video from my college by using their website. But it still has that effect. But I can watch Youtube videos with no problems. Then i changed to use Microsoft Edge to watch Twitch, surprisingly with no problem. I already updated to the latest version in Firefox. Can anyone help me Please. Thank You

This is behind the scenes of course with me doing nothing to initiate contact. I previously contacted MB support about such warnings and they told me to uninstall two extensions--Video Download Helper and AddtoAny. I've used both for a long time, but uninstalling them did fix that particular problem wherein the browser kept trying to connect to techalert.com, a site that is (through research) apparently for shareware? I don't recall ever being on it. But that's stopped.

But there was another. See jpg attachment. This is pretty much every day that I'm being told FF is trying to connect to something that is offering up a Trojan--apparently through Instagram??? That also makes little sense.

Most recently, I have two MORE such attempts to connect in the background, this time with full IP addresses. Both of those seem to be compromised sites in Pakistan according to a little research I did. (I have no dealings with Pakistan.) Why these two latest have full IP addresses and the others (see image) only deal with an Instagram URL, have no idea.

So, I contacted MB support again. They said it was not a false positive and they couldn't be sure what was doing this, but "something on firefox is reaching out to the IP address." At first they suggested returning FF to a default state. I'm reluctant to do that considering how much time spent getting it where I want it. So, now, they suggest turning off extensions one-by-one. That's a better idea, but certainly labor intensive and something that may take awhile.

So before I undertake this potentially time consuming task, does anyone here have some idea of what's happening?

P.s. scans came up clean of my system, no trojans, malware detected.

Win11, latest updates, FF 133.03 64 bit

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 and firefox 133.0 from snap. When I launch firefox from the command line I get these warnings but it does launch. When I select new window from the firefox icon in Favorites, the hour glass spins and spins and then quits with no new firefox window appearing. What should I do to get a new firefox window when I click on the Favorites icon?

Why on gods green earth did you put this sidebar in now?? Appears with the update, not needed, interferes with the picture. Just what an inane thing to do. Now would someone please tell me how to remove it please. Or do I have to hire an engineer? This was totally unneeded.

I have used Firefox for as long as I can remember and have always been pleased with it in fact it was my favorite browser until now. I have been playing War of Kings for several years now but for the last few weeks it takes forever to load and takes forever to get around in the game.I have several browsers and FireFox is the only one creating this problem . I can no longer use Firefox and I really hate that.Can some one look into this and let me know it can be fixed.You can reach me at b_conlee@bellsouth.net

I noticed recently that my Firefox changed, now when I click on the search/url bar at the top of the screen it opens into this full window sized search bar that sits at the top of the screen which is really bothersome. I also noticed that the close and minimize icons which are normally at the top right of the screen moved to be pushed inwards. I cannot tell if this is some issue with my Arch install, or a theme, but I tried switching to other themes in Firefox that do not use the system stuff and it seems to still be an issue? Could it be something else? I am totally at a loss as to what caused this and how to fix it, if I need to do something else on my system I can do more troubleshooting as well. (I have included two screenshots showing what I mean)

I have been experiencing severe performance issues with video playback on Youtube. Videos are subject to heavy lagging, and its not just the video, but the entire browser starts lagging. This doesn't happen every time, once every few times. This only occurs on Firefox, and I didn't experience this on Chrome or other browsers. Any help would be appreciated.

So yea I've noticed opened Youtube tabs will just randomly start the video playing while I'm in another tab, it's really annoying. I've tried disabling all extensions but it continues to happen. Anyone know whats going on, it's been happening for a really long time.

Using Windows 11 Firefox version 133.0.
