Firefox Community Forum

Moin! I have been having a problem with downloading things from the Internet with the Firefox browser for some time now. It fails every time. I have reinstalled the browser, I have started it in safe mode. In other browsers the download works as usual, but not in Firefox. I have also reset my network settings, both on the computer and on the router, nothing seems to help. DNS does not work either.

Kind regards, Kevin

I have Firefox on 2 computers. One is for my wife. On her computer Firefox defaults to all my settings, including passwords and logins. When she tries to log into her accounts, like CC and banking, everything defaults back to my settings.

How can I set up Firefox on her computer with only her settings?

IDM has released it's latest version 6.42 build 15 with a very good improvement but it requires updated integration module from 6.42.12 to 6.42.15. On chrome and edge, integration module 6.42.15 is available but Firefox seems forgetting about it. Here is the link for info about IDM https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/news.html Can you please fix this so that I can continue using Firefox?

Setup: Laptop with integrated Intel UHD 630, dedicated Nvidia RTX 2060 External Monitor connected via USB-C -> rendered through Nvidia card

Issue: Yesterday i disabled my laptop display in the windows settings as i only need my monitor. This resulted in laggish scrolling behaviour in Firefox. Not always but mostly a delay of ~100-300ms. Scrolling up/down fast doesn't really scroll, it just jumps with said delay. It happens on touchpad or mouse (mx master s3). If i enable the main display (extended) everything is fine.

Checked so far:

• All input-related add-ons, apps (Logi Options+, xmouse button control, ...) are disabled or off
• A reset or reinstall of Firefox doesn't help
• Drivers are up to date
• Changing the graphics performance preference (accelerated, energy saving) in the windows settings doesn't effect the behaviour
• Smooth Scrolling is off

Any idea what's the matter?

I use many tabs on various sites for business and recently went to a site that appears to keep opening tabs that can only be seen in Task Manager. I belive this has been happening before as when closing Firefox and watching Task Manger there always seemed to be a lot more app lines than tabs open.

It happened again today with just a few tabs open so I was able to detect the real culprit. https://www.sharecast.com/

I have popups blocked in settings with a few exceptions ( does not include the site that I have found is causing issues) Example:

I had 15 tabs open. Opened a new tab for the above site. In no time at all Task Manger is showing 23 then jumped to 36.

the tab(s) can increase the firefox total memory used from .8GB to 2.6GB. CPU .7% to 70%+

I am sure this is not the only site doing this.

So my question: Is there a setting that will stop this happening whilst still using the site? Just tested using Edge and the same happens. Might just have to refrain from using the site. Thanks Peter

Hi everyone,

Since updating to Firefox 128, I've encountered problems with my Axios requests that have extended timeouts. These requests used to work perfectly fine in previous versions of Firefox, but now they consistently fail sending status code = 0. I suspect there may have been some breaking changes in the latest update that could be affecting the way Axios handles timeouts.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Axios requests in Firefox 128? Are there any known breaking changes in this version that could be related to this problem? If so, is there a known solution or workaround to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your help!

This should provide enough context for the community to understand your problem and provide relevant assistance.

Problem loading images on Home Depot website. It happens when you want detailed images of a product. This is not just one linux distribution. Its many of them. In the case of Ubuntu same problem with Snap version. Whether .deb or Snap doesn't matter.

I've got a test machine with 10 ssd's in it. I switched over to Ubuntu 24.04 that I installed/configured several months ago. Before updating I checked Firefox. It was version 125. No problems with Home Depot. Updated system. Firefox updated to 128.0. Home Depot wouldn't load images anymore. Did all the usual stuff like disabling a couple of extensions. There are only two. Adblock Plus and Weather. Other than that no changes to Firefox that would be a problem.

I've got Google Chrome installed on these machines too. Home Depot no problem. Images of product load and display fine.

I don't order much on Home Depot so using Google Chrome is not a problem for me. But it is annoying and I know I'm not the only one. Seen it posted in a few forums with no resolution. Also, I have not had any problems with Amazon or Lowes website.They are similar in that they display detailed images of each product. I'm not implying that Home Depot is the only one. Just that its the only one I have discovered. If I recall correctly 127.x may have been where it started. The general images of many products don't seem to be a problem.

Thanks, Gerald

I have an issue with firefox.If I click the tab ,it should move to next field.when I click up /down arrow in drop down field ,it is moving to next field without clicking the tab itself..it's happening only in Firefox ,If I try in other browsers like chrome ,IE it works. Is this issue related to extension or browser version or should correct it in javascript code.what should I do??

rolling popups Mozilla Firefox warning, system alert, attention virus attack - have to do multiple dismiss or x out the messages.

not happening in google How do I update Firefox &/ or make these stop. Firefox was updating every time I went to a website but has not done that in a while

I try to print screen to show you but the warnings are in black The print screen goes behind it.

Starting with v128 or so, there is a nag at the top of the browser window about starting Firefox automatically on boot.

It only appeared a couple of times so far, but I'd still like to know if there a setting to prevent this nag from ever appearing again?

when i try and 'send tab to device' to another of my connected devices it shows 2 ipads. just that they are ipads with no further info. When i check my connected devices, there is only 1 ipad listed. This is very confusing as i used to have 2 ipads but gave one to a friend whom i no longer speak with. i have no idea if the tab i am sending is going to that ipad or my ipad so i have to send to both. how do i correct 'send tab to device' so it only shows the ipad that i am signed in on?

Hi, So I'm on Facebook. A friend has a new post. The post is all squished together, almost on top of the other line. I have looked over my settings to see if there is a way to alter the spacing but to no avail. I now realized why I stopped using Firefox a little while back and this is the main reason. If I can't read posts on social media apps on my computer browser what's the use?

Suggestions and fixes MOST welcome before I throw my hands up again. Edge is messed up in other ways as is Opera so I'd really love to have just ONE browser that I can depend on. Considering I used to be a HUGE fan of FF back in the day before the entire code was rewritten I'd love to be back in the fold. If this can be resolved I'll stay. For sure.

Thanks so much Richard

Windows 11 Pro - Firefox blocks Instagram.

I have no site blocks on or in my Firefox browser. There aren't any plug-ins enable or preventing Firefox from opening Instagram and sometimes other sites, yet it does this now. Whether it is 1 tab or 8 tabs, the outcome is the same.

I've cleared the cache (daily), browser cookies, temp files (daily) and even restarted my computer many times, yet this issue still persists.

I have attached the error message and proof that I have the latest Firefox update.

Note: Other web browsers I use, don't have this issue. This issue is only with Firefox.

Please help me resolve this issue. Your help is greatly appreciated.

As shown in the picture, users should be able to change tabs freely on this page. But this caused some problems on my browser. These white tabs cannot be edited, moved or removed by me.

My first two tabs are always blank (even if I try to change it and add a valid URL to it) and other tabs can be changed normally.

When I tried to move a changed normal tab to the first one, I found that my changed tabs became blank and they could not be changed back to normal.

This is very annoying for me. Please help me fix this problem
