Firefox Community Forum

When you navigate to a web site which is slow to respond the address bar keeps showing the previous address until the web page loads or a network error occurs. It may take minutes. It happens for instance when clicking a a web search result or when the site itself redirects to another web page.

This Firefox behavior is there for years and I even remember that Internet Explorer had the same behavior during its era.

Is there any particular reason to do that? Because I only see downsides: for instance, you can't copy the URL to check in another program or device.

Somebody might argue that it's because you can press Esc during load and stay on the previous page. I think it would be more convenient to revert the address bar value when this happens.

I’m using Mozilla Firefox to develop Career websites similar to CareerBands.com and TopResumes.com

'When I try to sign in to Facebook on my laptop, it says that I am using the wrong password. But that password works for Facebook on my iPad and my iPhone. I'm wondering whether simply changing the password is a solution or whether this situation indicates something else is going on.

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.

Recently I reinstalled my Windows 11 system, and even though I synced my Firefox account before reinstalling the system, there are no passwords, settings and extensions, which should be synced.

I searched for the same problem, but all I could find was searching for profile files in C:\Windows.old

The issue is I do not have Windows.old folder or anything like that.

Is there any way to recover at least my passwords?

Thanks in advance for help.

I just purchased and installed a new laptop. Firefox started this irritating thing that when I'm on the edge of the browser and click, it expands or when I click on the resize square, it gives me about 6 options to choose from instead of one like changing from full page to my set size and back. I have seached google up and down and there must be a setting somewhere even in About: config to turn this option OFF and not have to continue to go through multiple browers with each click

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.

Ever since Facebook started infesting the chats with end-to-end encryption (random chats get "Messenger upgraded the security of this chat. Messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption" without my permission or asking if I want this), any encrypted chats have audio and video calls disabled. I note that I have ONE friend for whom it didn't do this, I can still do calls with her. If I receive a call, I get a pop-up saying that to receive this call I must download the Messenger app (no way) or a browser which supports it. If I check what browsers it thinks supports this, it only lists Chrome and Edge. As far as I know Edge is just Internet Explorer renamed, the biggest black hole in security, I've never touched it. Chrome ignores industry standards, so I don't use it. Making Firefox the best, top browser available. It's the only browser I wish to use. Mozilla needs to look into how to get Facebook to stop blacklisting Firefox like this. Note that this E2EE garbage has only been infecting things for the last few months, before that I was perfectly able to do any calls I wished in Facebook Messenger.

Starting yesterday, 10 Aug, I can't sign into Kaiser Permanente. Never had this problem before. Message is:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

This is the second important site with sign in problems. Can you cut whatever you are dong out so I can visit kp.org, and bank of america? I can sign in fine on all the other browsers just fine. Includes Brave, Chrome and Edge.

I looked this problem up, and the nonsense given to fix this problem is impossible to follow as it must be old. What shall I do, just avoid using this browser? This has been my base browser for years. Perhaps it is time to make a change.

I've read through lots of instructions, and tried to list a site as an exception to the ad blocker, but it doesn't seem to work. The site that I want to be able to contact me is Rakuten.com. Please help. This seems so complicated.

Hi, so I've "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" setting under Tabs section "Off". Preview is not showing but instead there is am empty box like on attached image. I couldn't find any other option to turn that off also.

I'm using latest firefox nightly release.

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!

Hi everyone,

I recently updated Firefox to the latest version, and ever since, it crashes immediately on startup. I haven’t installed any new extensions or made any significant changes to my system. I’ve tried restarting my computer and reinstalling Firefox, but the issue persists.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Are there any known solutions to fix this crash issue? I really rely on Firefox for my daily browsing, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

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.
