Firefox Community Forum

Firefox abruptly stopped working on my MacBook Air. When logged in as the admin, Firefox works fine. When a 2nd user logs into an account on the Mac, and tries to open Firefox, Firefox asks to install a helper tool. If I do so (with the admin credentials), the helper tool prompt goes away, but then if I click to open Firefox the icon just bounces and I get an "application not responding" warning.

I have tried refreshing Firefox from the admin account. I deleted Firefox and deleted all user profiles, re-installed Firefox, and still the same thing happens (works fine on admin account, does not work for any other user on the Mac). I am also unable to open Firefox in troubleshoot mode (option key). Even with the option key the Firefox icon bounces on the dock and never opens.

I can't share any data because I can't open the app.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank You.

I have just installed "Opera" browser which I thought would allow me to install an App called "Marine Traffic" onto my computer. It seemed to make changes to my default browser which is Firefox, so I re-installed Firefox. Now when I click on Firefox it comes up with a search bar but it is not the usual search bar but a largely blank screen with just a search bar in the middle. It does come up with an option at the top for another search session and when I click on that it is the normal Firefox browser screen. Can I get rid of this first strange blank screen with search bar? Mark

I love Firefox, but I can't find an answer to why the keyboard input lags 5-10 seconds. This is always noticeable in NYT Games like Wordle, but not Bluesky, for instance. I use Chrome now for NYT but eventually I'll go back to stay if I can't fix this, which is a shame as it's the best browser around. Thank you for your help.

When you go to the YouTube community tab, click on a link like https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxFmoD_WE2uSNmIHw1Njhj36JVQMnzrWzz this example I get a banner that this page slows down firefox and after a few minutes the tab crashes. I tried disabling extensions, but it didn't help me. I came across this on two different PCs on Windows.

When I use the Firefox browser, the use of this site is very slow, messages do not appear, and the site is horribly slow. Facebook also has the same problem. Please fix this problem.

If I want to display a table with large amounts of data and at the same time I want to pass it on via POST, Firefox displays only part of this data, What is the reason for this? In other browsers, these pages work without a problem.

Over the last week or so, I've started seeing this (see screenshot) when I first start Firefox. It use to be just the large icons with stories, three across, but now there's the addition of the vertical strip on the right hand side. How do I go back to just the three across?

Up until a few years ago it was possible to save new bookmarks to the Bookmarks Menu and they would appear in alphabetical order. This has no longer been the case for me in the last 2-3 years (I regularly check to ensure that I do have the latest version running). When I save a new bookmark it appears right at the end of all the other bookmarks I have. I can view the bookmarks in full alphabetical order when I use Bookmark manager BUT cannot save them permanently in this format. It simply reverts back to the old part sorted list when I try to save a new bookmark. Any help gratefully received.

Everytime when going to youtube with firefox, I get language "dansk" instead of "german" or "swiss german". My firefox: 132.0.2 (64-bit). My language setting in firefox: german My language setting in Windows 11: swiss german

this is very annoying, because I first have to change on the youtube page the language to "german" in order to understand the menu.

In Google Chrome youtube behaves normally.

Hello, I run a website, https://tasbihdigital.net/ , and I've noticed something unusual. When browsing the site using Firefox, some pages seem to load slower compared to other browsers. Has anyone else experienced this, or are there specific troubleshooting steps I can take?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Since lately (can't pinpoint it precisely), I have the following problem: Whenever I click on a mailto url, it opens Thunderbird but inserts the mail with three leading slashes.

These are not present in the url itself and also I don't get them when I right click -> copy mail address. From Gnome Web or Chromium, this does not occur.

I'm on Firefox 132.0 and Fedora 41. If you need more information, I will happily provide them.

Best regards, Carroll

Hello,

How can I move the cursor to be, by default, place into the "search the web" firefox space and not in the address bar. I want that when I start Firefox and when I open a new tab. I don't want third party. I want to modify the About:config to fix this

Regards

I have a Mac that was running Sequoia 10.14.7 I think. Firefox hasn't been giving search results since yesterday so I updated Firefox and restarted it. Still got blank pages after updating. Firefox suggested re-installing so I did. I got no warning DURING installation that the newest version would not work with Sequoia. There was a light gray circle slash through the icon when I installed it, but have never see that when installing apps before. I was given an option to replace the original Firefox or install a second version, so I chose "replace," thinking I was keeping it simple. I updated Mac OS to Catalina 10.15.7--an action I've been avoiding due to all of my most important documents being on an older version of Word for Mac 2011, and TBH I resent having to pay for a subscription to access my Word & Excel documents for revision or printing, and don't like keeping my documents on the cloud...as required by newer versions of MS Office. Now I have Catalina & the newest version of Firefox and can't do the two most important things I need to do on my computer: Work with my Word docs and Firefox STILL PRODUCES BLANK SEARCH RESULTS PAGES. I've now essentially lost access to all my Office docs due to chain reaction fuster cluck resulting from a blank Firefox search page 2 hours ago. PLEASE ADVISE.

My Google tab won't open anymore in Firefox. I have the latest version. It asks me to restore but nothing happens. I can open google on all other browsers. Safari, Chrome etc. but not Firefox.

I love Firefox, but I'm almost ready to leave. Every time I want to navigate to "shop.bahaiwebsites.com", autocomplete enters "shop.bytique.com", which doesn't exist. How do I stop this autosuggest? Thank you.
