Hi, I'm using Linux Mint 22, Firefox 129.0 (64-bit). Browser is hanging after approximately 4 hours. Not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but this is where I'm starting the troubleshooting process. My suspects are (1) the browser, (2) NVIDIA drivers (3) the new Linux Mint kernel or possibly (4) a mix of the above. This was a fresh install with default options on (Wilma). Using the latest graphics drivers for GeForceRTX 2060, driver version 555.58.02, went down to native drivers, no change. Honestly, this one has me baffled. Been troubleshooting this for 3 days. It feels like a memory leak. Nothing on the crash reports. First, browser will hang, then mouse and keyboard. Hard reboot is the only option. Any help would be appreciated.

Everything I get from the NYTimes goes straight to my spam folder, which is not the case with Google Chrome. I've had a GEEK Squad tech try to fix the problem, but he couldn't. Is there any way I can solve this longstanding problem? (I get lots of emails from the NYTimes because I participate in their comment threads, where I check the box to be alerted when someone responds to my comment, but that all goes into my spa folder. It's frustrating!)

Icons look funny when I am on Chess.com If I use Microsoft edge on this same PC the site looks fine. But when I log in with Firefox the Chess.com website Icons look like symbols. This is some kind of extension issue? Look at the upper right corner of the screen shot I have attached. Thank you, HELP!

Gmail inform there is no internet connection. Amount of cookies is only 20 MB and cache is 80 MB. I have to enter my registration to the websites I visit quite often! I'm a Firefox user for over 20 years but planning to quit very soon.

I cannot sign in to the New York Times today; on their main page it will not allow me to sign in to my account. I have called them, and apparently it is Firefox that is the problem. I can connect to any and all other sites. I can connect and sign in to the NYTimes from my iPad as well, so I believe it is the version on my Windows 11 laptop that is the problem. I've cleared all cookies and history, restarted my computer, re-booted my modem even, and closed my VPN, all to no avail. I have version 129.0.2, and it is up to date. It was working yesterday just fine. Is there another update coming to correct this?

Running macOS 14.6.1 with Firefox V129.0.2.

Since I upgraded Firefox either to 129.0 or 129.0.1 (I didn't notice the issue immediately), it seems I can't access anymore any of the secondary search engines that appear when you click on the search windows. The default search engine is DuckDuckGo and, if I wish to ask it something, it is still correctly answers. However, if I want to ask to one of the secondary search engines (for example, Google, or the French or English Wikipedia), clicking on the icon of this engine doesn't produce any result anymore.

Please note that I also upgraded from macOS Sonoma 14.5 to 14.6.1 at approximately the same time I upgraded Firefox to 129.0.1. No idea if this has any bearing on the issue.

Is this a known issue? And, if not, has anybody any idea on how to troubleshoot it?

Thanks for any help, Denis Maillard.

I am trying to log in to my Wise account. The site loads and I have filled in my email and password but when I click on the Log in button nothing happens. On Microsoft Edge it works perfectly. I have had this problem on other sites recently. Roger

Hi, Hopefully someone can help. This started a couple of days ago. I'm actually trying to log in to my own account on Flickr. If I just input Flickr.com, the main front page loads, if I then go to log in, I get: "429 Too Many Requests You have sent too many requests in a given amount of time" on the screen. I've only hit enter once. As far as I can see this is the only site that does this BUT Youtube sometimes plays up, so maybe something is happening in the back ground with that. Might be totally unconnected.

I've tried using Opera (my main back up) and that loads my account just fine. I've tried turning off the extensions Adblock, No Script etc and the 429 error still pops up everytime I go to log in..

Any ideas? Anyone?

Thanks in advance. Graham

Hello. I've installed OnePassword as my password manager, but it will not launch from Firefox when I am trying to login to sites and forget my password. Very frustrating.

on PC A, firefox just lost all open tabs (even pinned ones), history (for this device only thank gods), open windows.

I installed a windows yesterday on a different PC (lets call it B), and logged in with the same microsoft account PC A uses. Then installed firefox and logged in to sync (on PC B).

Did that somehow overwrite the profile? Even though it was a different PC?

Beginning with a FF update about 6 months ago, I cannot print a web page to a PDF. I CAN print to PDF on other browsers (i.e., 'Chrome, MS Edge, etc.).

If a FF setting, what am I missing? I have tried "everything"!!

I am using the latest version of FF

Firefox Version 129.0.1 64 bit Windows 11. When I am in a New Tab, and I do a search (Google is my search engine) the results do not display. I type in search words, I hit Enter, and the screen does a very quick blip, and then nothing. This is very frustrating. I have wasted too much time trying to figure it out. It does not do it all the time, but most of the time. This started with the latest Firefox update. Is this a Settings issue?

For the last 2 weeks I started having problems with Firefox working consistently. Sometimes only tabs crash, sometimes Firefox crashes. It is not tied to any actions, a tab can crash even if you don't perform any actions in the browser. I have tried clean install on Fedora and Vanilla OS, native and Flatpak packages. The result is always the same - tabs or Firefox crashes every few minutes.

Basically i was on instagram and i couldnt save the webpage of the suggestion profiles on someones profile so i decided instead to copy each of the suggestion profiles and paste them into gmail where i sent the email to my self, opened it in a new tab and saved the webpage as an htm file but now the image links attached to the urls and the plain text are broken making it impossible to view the images tide to each url any help of how to fix the broken images would be much help

I type something in Firefox, say "mice". A Google search string appears in the address bar, but it is greyed out, and nothing else happens. I have to go to that bar and hit Return to get to the search results. After this has happened once, everything appears to work as expected until I close the browser. On reopening, the problem has returned.

Whenever I try to sign into any website via my Google account, it takes me to a blank white popup that I cannot interact with (I can only close it). I've tried clearing my cookies, which almost works - it does the proper Google popup and lets me input my username and password, but I don't actually get signed in - and when I try to sign in again the popup is blank. This also happens in troubleshooter mode, so my extensions probably aren't what are causing this problem. Does anyone have any idea what's happening? Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir, dear Madame, I have been using the DeepL Pro web translator for a few months now, and it worked without any problems for the first few weeks! But from one day to the next it crashed regularly and often. and it was impossible to work with it. The DeepL support team tried very hard, but they couldn't find any errors! However, they did point out that another application might be interfering. That's when I thought about all the Firefox updates. Could it be that one of the updates loaded something that DeepL doesn't like? It's just a guess, but no one could give me other explanation!

So I ask you to check if this assumption is true! You are my last resort! Best regards, Peter Prokesch
