Firefox Community Forum

My PC uses Windowss 11 and I'm on Mozilla. My security programs are Malwarebytes Premium, Windows Defender.Security, and Acronis. There is an Extension called, 'Protect My Choices'. Love It! I have it on all my Browsers. It keeps alot of junk off from my PC. In all my other Browsers, in the Extension details it states "Automatically allow access on the following sites:" I just don't move the button over to on, and the Extension keeps all that junk off from my PC. In Firefox, the above statment and the botton is absent, and all that junk is allowed onto Firefox (Yikes!). I went through Mozilla's Help, Troubleshotting, and Search. I haven't been able to find any clue as to how I can get this Extension to work in Firefox. Any assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so for your time and consideraton of my sad saga

I can't remember how but somewhere along the way I got a tip about how to select this context menu search option not to conduct the search with it, but for the search phrase show up in the search field, after which a search could be conducted.

How do I undo this?

Some time back, for me, both browsers would crash frequently when open at he same time. Then, it stopped, but since I don't use Chrome very often, perhaps the behavior was still the in the right circumstances.

Happened today. I was working in Firefox, and had to open Chrome, and a sort time later Firefox crashed, with a crash message. Wouldn't restart.

After several minutes, I had to go to the Task Manager, to find about 20 Firefox processes still active in the "background processes", with one of them at about 31% cpu. A short time later, Chrome crashed.

Has anyone else seen this?

Something went wrong and I have had problems ever since June 20, 2024. I have tried to delete every facet related to and I cannot get rid of Firefox. I have used ever Uninstall I know available.

Hi everyone,

Firefox started becoming extremly slow on certain websites, which I have bookmarked. It goes through periods of that. One it was because of a plug in, other times I would think it was a virus of my internet provider slowing it down. But it became really slow this week, and I started noticing what it says on bottom of left screen when it's loading.

I kept seeing "contacting googleadmanager.com, read.tags.tigcdn.com, contacting highfalutinhoney.com." There were other various ones that have started read.tags, but those were the main ones I thought it was a virus, and kept doing virus scans with Norton, Malwarebytes, and making sure all software and computer, was updated. The only thing that helped was deleting profile in the profile folder on Mozilla and deleting it on my computer, and redoing all settings, with nothing imported.

It hasn't been slow in awhile. The only thing I can think of is I went on google maps, and saved a bookmark of a place on Firefox, and the offending website that was really slow was also bookmarked. Is it possible because I added a google bookmark, it installed on my brower tracking cookies? I set to have the settings to strict for my browser, never remember history, and use duckduckgo for search, except when I went on google maps this week on a private tab and then bookmarked a page from google.

If anyone knows how this happens, I would really appreciate it :} I don't know much about the technical stuff for computers. I'm just a basic user.

Thank you

After the last update in Firefox and Waterfox I haven't been able to login to Ikariam.com. It was working fine before the updates, Suggestions?

The Back Button does not work at times. When I right click on the Back Button, many previous sites are shown. It would be nice if this was fixed so it works all the time.

Also, at times the Bookmarks Sidebar disappears all on its own. Why is this?

As of 7/10/2024, I cannot sign in to ATT.com via Firefox. Other web browsers work correctly. The site generates a "902" error (proprietary). In the console, I see a failure to load 2 scripts:

Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://signin.att.com/static/thirdparty/adobe/detm-container-hdr.js”. LrrController:33:2 Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://signin.att.com/static/thirdparty/adobe/detm-container-ftr.js”.

Note that I can click that link in the console and each of those scripts loads. I have tried disabling tracking protection for the site as well as disabling the adblocker.

I work in IT and unfortunately I am working on too many brand new and obscure devices, they have expired and self-signed certs and I can't just keep trusting them, even though thats not working. I need to be able to completely turn off all protections for SSL certs if I can.

I still have not had any improvement with tab crashes especially on sites containing videos. Lately, every time i go on Facebook and play a video reel, i stop the video and before i can return to my home page, the tab crashes. This browser has gotten worse rather than improving.
