On using Google search, many times it behaves as if I've done nothing...

Communication between Firefox and their server seems dropped. Press enter/search and... nothing

Or do they* want us to use Chrome?

YouTube will go black at specific moments in the video before fading back to the video/ I have tried disabling hardware acceleration, different browsers, updating Firefox, clearing the cache, using a new profile, and using safe mode. I can't really show an example because it's a video

Since the last update, websites (eg- Pocket) that use Captcha recognition as part of the sign-in proceedure aren't loading the Captcha page. Ive checked other browsers & Captcha sign-in works normally. It means I can't use Firefox to log into websites which use Captcha & have to use an alternative browser instead. I've turned off all add-ons such as privacy badger, uBlock, Trace etc

I am unable to access Spectrum.net. I was able to access until a couple of days ago. Now I get the error "Feature Unavailable This feature is currently unavailable. Please try again from home or contact us for assistance. IDID-4000." I have contacted Spectrum and since I can access from Edge they say it is your fault. I really don't want to use Edge. Can you please help? Thanks,

I’m encountering a problem with my website, https://themonak.net/game-etruesports-tech/, after the latest Firefox update (version 118.0). The site was functioning perfectly before the update, but now several elements are not displaying correctly. Specifically, I’m seeing issues with text overlapping images and other content, which makes the site difficult to read. Additionally, the overall layout seems misaligned particularly on the homepage and blog pages where elements that should be centered are now shifted to the left. I’ve also noticed that the site’s loading times have significantly increased compared to other browsers. To troubleshoot, I’ve cleared the browser cache and cookies, checked the website’s CSS and JavaScript for errors, and even ran Firefox in Safe Mode with all extensions disabled, but the issues persist. The site renders correctly in Chrome, Safari, and Edge, so this appears to be specific to Firefox. Has anyone else experienced similar problems or have any suggestions for resolving these display issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards, [Aura Lee]

Bonjour,

Depuis 3-4 jours ce message s'affiche sur quasiment tous les sites web que j'ai l'habitude d'utiliser. Avec un autre navigateur internet ils fonctionnent mais pas avec Firefox.

I am writing this in Chrome on my old Win 7 HP laptop. There are no problems there. Microsoft should have just ended with Win 7, their only working OS. This is a big old laptop, heavy with a 17" screen, fragile, nonworking touchpad and with dying battery. For traveling I actually use a newer laptop - Dell XPS 13, light, sturdy, bright screen, long life battery, tiny... That came with Windows 10 initially and upgraded to Windows 11 later. I used Chrome for browsing initially just like on this laptop. At some point (I don't know whether this happened after Win 11 upgrade, I just didn't pay close intention to what Windows are doing behind my back) I just could not log on to Facebook in Chrome on Dell. Nobody is out there to help. Neither at FB, nor at Google, neither at Microsoft. Everything else worked fine. Before my travel to Europe this summer, I uninstalled Chrome and installed Firefox instead on the Dell. I carried over all my Google passwords. And everything worked fine, including Facebook. The trip to Europe went fine. Firefox performed great. Now a week back in the States, suddenly yesterday morning, out of the blue, without me doing anything to cause that (the day before I shut the lid, and everything worked fine), all hell breaks lose: I can't open a single page in Firefox - yet my WiFi connection is fine, and other devices work fine. Firefox opens the home page but nothing else, when I click on troubleshoot, my WiFi connection is suddenly dropped and I have to reconnect. I don't have Chrome on Dell, but I do have Edge, so I checked Edge: Edge opens some pages immediately, some pages only after I ask it repeatedly, all much slower and more laborious then it should be. So, while it did not lose functionality altogether like Firefox, I would say it is also not operating properly. But Skype, email software, printer connection - they work fine. Some satanic force entered the computer overnight and destroyed browser functionality. And I reseted everything and rebooted and restarted and deleted cookies, all the usual crap they tell us to hide what is really going on (some screw up or intentional sabotage in the code). There are no proxies. Firewall on or off does not matter. List of Windows updated shows the last one on 8/14, and for 10 days there was no problems. I fiddled with command prompt: sfc/scannow says everything is ok, malwarebytes say computer is clean, Edge improved after netsh winsock reset, but Firefox did not, I sent a request for tech support to Dell, but this can't be a hardware issue, it is most probably some software security bullshit issue that happened behind my back and that now requires someone with PhD in programming to figure out and solve. I am totally exhausted and very unhappy with the situation.

Couple a days ago jetblue.com website stopped working. When I login to it, yhr whole website is greyed out and doesn't respond to anuthing. Elvart
