Firefox Community Forum

I've been experiencing issues with my firefox browser (most updated version 129.0.2, running on Mac Sonoma 14.6.1). Seemingly at random times, it decides to start displaying weird symbols all over. The settings, the menu, the text on webpages, it all reverts to these weird symbols. Restarting the app and my laptop works sometimes, but only for a little bit of time then a day or two later this starts to happen again. I've tried to look at other help articles but it doesn't seem to be a font thing, it's becoming really frustrating and I hope there's an easy fix otherwise I won't be able to keep using this browser as I share my screen for work often.

This is what sows when i try to get newsmax.com I tired newsmax.com but get the same message as below.

Secure Connection Failed

I always been able to connect w/newsmax.com - until now. When it does not connect tells me to contact that site. Well... I tried and I can not get in to let them know. How do I fix this problem? Thank you in advance for your assistance and reply. Sandra

I have been having problems logging into Spectrum's website on my computer. I can login to the website using another browser. I have contacted Spectrum, they went over my entire account and stated that everything is working like it should. The person said to contact Firefox and have them check my account for any blocks. I can access any website and login without a problem using Firefox but Spectrum. Can you please help me. I really like Firefox as my browser and don't want to have to switch. Thank you.

The autofill function works great for forms and applications but not so much when I'm entering online contests. When they ask me for my TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter username, it will not autofill those. I always have to do it myself in FireFox. But Microsoft Edge doesn't have that problem. Why doesn't it remember what I type in for those types of entries?

I was trying to put a shortcut for Firefox onto my desktop and can't seem to find where the files for the browser are located. I have tried looking up where it could be online and all the answers I have found have been wrong. Please help.

When I try to open Facebook using Firefox, I get the following message:

Sorry, something went wrong.

We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.

When using Chrome or Bing I can access Facebook.

I use a desktop at home and a laptop when traveling. But never at the same time. Consequently I would need VPN to be installed on 6 devices, but never using more than 5 concurrently. Can I do this?

When using the Firefox browser I find that You Tube videos freeze up after a short while, and the whole website becomes unresponsive. I do not have this problem if I use the Chrome browser, so apparently the problem is specific to the Firefox browser.

Since a recent Firefox update it has decided to log me out every single day which is very annoying...I have looked at solutions that only computer guru's would understand and I have no time or desire to trouble shoot this. Therefore, I will be using a different browser until this problem is solved.

Thank you

After running scannow and chkdisk on my Win 11 laptop, the fonts for menus and toolbars in Firefox (not for web pages) is unreadably small (about 6pt). I have tried adjusting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, ui.textScaleFactor, and browser.display.os-zoom-behavior to recommended valus as well as above or below values. So far, no help. Please advise.
