I'm using FireFox 129 64bit on Windows 10. I have Google set as my default search engine.

Lately, when I type search criteria into the address bar and press Enter, nothing happens. And if I then try to navigate to google.com at that time, it just doesn't load at all. This doesn't happen every time, but it has been happening often enough to be annoying. So I just load up Yahoo instead to conduct my search.

No other site has this problem.

Is this a problem with google.com itself, or with Firefox's handling of it?

Every time I close Firefox and go on Youtube, I have to log in to my google account again just to watch something. It stays logged in while Firefox is open, but as soon as it closes it logs me out.

I have faced lots of times this problem. When I go to visit any new tab or new site in Google then captcha comes in front of me, after that, I fill in the captcha but the problem is not solved, it will take 15-20 minutes to go to my visiting pages, it's too much time-consuming. Please solve this problem.

Here's an answer that has not been shared in the Original Question of the same name.

Background: Starting today, I'm receiving an error message with accessing x.com and the x.com thread has been locked. The error message is "Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com". I've done all of the troubleshooting steps on the original question link and nothing worked.

However, @jsher2000 asked a very good question: Can you access a direct link to a user page such as

https://x.com/mozilla

Well, the answer was no, but I did notice one item: the URL was: https://x.com/?failedScript=vendor, so it looked like x was generating the error.

I then turned off NoScript for the tab and nothing. Turned off uBlock Origin and it started working. Turn uBlock Origin back on, it fails again. Disabled and it worked. Turned NoScript back on, no change, still worked. In the end, on uBlock Origin, the site "edgecastcdn.net" was blocked. Enabling that site allowed me to turn uBlock Origin back on.

Hello Mozilla community,

I'm encountering a perplexing issue with Mozilla Firefox that I hope someone here can help me with. Whenever I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser, I experience difficulties accessing my website. The site continuously buffers but never fully loads, leaving me unable to view its content when i click on (How I Sleep at Night Knowing I’m Failing All My Cl – Tymoff).

However, when I switch to a different browser as my default, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, the website loads without any issues. This leads me to believe that the problem might be specific to Mozilla Firefox.

I've tried troubleshooting by clearing the browser cache, disabling extensions, and even reinstalling Firefox, but the problem persists. I've also checked for any errors in the browser console, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Could there be any compatibility issues between my website and Mozilla Firefox that are causing this problem? Or is there something else I should investigate to resolve this issue?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Firefox is very slow in loading, it can take up to 5 mins. This has now stated to happen each time I turn on my PC. When it has loaded it randomly freezes and does not respond. This is now becoming more often. Can you please help and advise what I can do to correct these problems. Thank you.

Hi Firefox Community,

I'm experiencing an issue with my website, https://letmewatchthiss.com/, specifically on the Firefox browser. While the site functions correctly across other browsers, it's not reloading properly in Firefox.

Issue Description: Website URL: https://letmewatchthiss.com/ Problem: The site reloads inconsistently or fails to load entirely on Firefox. Affected Browsers: Firefox (issue does not appear in Chrome, Edge, or Safari).

Steps Taken:

• Cleared Firefox cache and cookies.
• Checked for any extensions that might be causing conflicts.
• Verified that the issue persists across multiple devices running Firefox.

What I Need Help With:

Suggestions: Any advice on potential fixes or troubleshooting steps specific to Firefox. Insights: If there are known issues or recent updates that might be affecting Firefox compatibility. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Best regards,

Westpac keep telling me it is the fault of my browser. While I was trying safe mode, deleting the cookies and cache etc. I came across this bit of odd information -

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-08-08-01-10-24-eb9193.png

Westpac have been telling me for two months that it is Firefox's fault, but I don't see how, given that it has always worked before. Finding this data makes me think the problem is Westpac's fault but they just keep saying the same old thing - use another browser. Well I don't want to! I have visual difficulties and my Firefox is heavily customised to account for that.

What is actually happening is that when I enter my information on the log In Page: https://banking.westpac.com.au/wbc/banking/handler?TAM_OP=login&logout=false then click on the sign in button the screne goes white like it is going to log in and then the sign in page comes back up without the information I had entered.

Is there any thing you can do to help me?

Yours Sincerely, Ms Jacq Felis.

Dear FireFox,

Christian greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I wrote you last night requesting assistance. My FireFox does not display images off-Line.

Today I received the following pop up Message:

"Some pictures have been blocked to help present the sender from identifying your computer. Open this item to view the pictures".

Done that and it makes no difference. I am a Christian Minister with nothing to hide. Our Church computer contains the material listen on our Church Website.

This a recent difficulty. Please assist.

Please visit www.http://biblebelievers.au/nl1297.htm or any of almost 2,000 other teaching sermons, Newsletters, ebooks or other files with images. They ALL display with FireFox on-line but NOT off-line, however thew will display off-line on Edge and Google Chrome.

Today I received a pop-up notice stating:

"Some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer. Open this item to view the pictures."

It STILL blocks the images. I, ME, and MYSELF need to view the images as I write and code the pages.

There is NOTHING wrong with the images, it id FireFox that is causing the problem on non-display off-line. I have the latest FireFox, It has ALWAYS displayed images off-line because ALL of the images are on the Church Website. And yes, I use WIN 10 O/S. AND Microsoft Defender Software visits the Church computer every day-or-so.

May God bless you for assisting me.

Yours sincerely in the love and service of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I have a server that runs my minecraft server, and if the console of that is open and needs to generate a bunch of text for the logs in my browser, it ends up freezing my browser for sometimes a few moments and sometimes 30 seconds or more. It stops be from being able to interact with firefox at all.

Is especially weird because nothing on my computer is being maxed out, my Ryzen 5 5600G isnt above 15% usage, my ram of 48GB is only sitting at around 20Gb usage, and my Radeon RX 7600XT GPU with 16GB of VRAM isnt anywhere near even 50% usage. I have Use recommended performance settings turned on in firefoxs settings.

This install of windows is also only about one month old

I cannot fathom what could be causing such a severe and drastic drop in performance and useablility

I've always used Firefox without signing up on it and I've had no issues, but now that I have signed up my history never saves. Every time I close Firefox the history completely resets (It's only the history, all other data gets saved). There was 1 time in the beginning where my history suddenly restored itself, but I wasn't able to replicate that since.

Google search engine suddenly stopped working on my Firefox app on my laptop. Please tell me how to fix this. I have already checked settings and Google is the preferred/default search engine.

Just like in the subject is there a way to make it switch to firefox after opening a external link in a new tab. I know that i can do that by changing the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground option to false but this makes it also switch to a new tab after i open a link in firefox with the middle mouse button which i don't like. Is there a way to force firefox to open without sacrificing the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground option?
