Firefox Community Forum

I am increasingly unable to complete transactions using Firefox. I've been a Firefox users for years and I've never encountered as many problem as I am now. Websites give me error messages saying they are unable to confirm my log-in credentials, or something similar. I've contacted a number of vendors who say that they are noticing an increase in the number of customers saying the same thing. My only recourse has been to place the order on the phone OR use another browser. What's up? Thanks.

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe 3 Bildschirme. Wenn ich auf Bildschirm A z.B. Youtube im Vollbirld laufen habe und auf Bildschirm B z.B was anderes im vollbild Laufen habe und ESC drücke wird das Vollbild auf beiden Bildschirmen geschlossen. Dies ist erst seit kurzem so und ist nicht beabsichtigt. Kennt jemand da eine Lösung? Das standardprozedere wie Cookies etc wurde schon genutzt und hat nix gebracht. Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Here's an example of the scenario I'm suffering: - You want to go do something on a website, say Bacefook (as a demonstration). So you go search up "Bacefook", and enter. - You use the Google search engine, as it does the job. However, you notice it has been taking a few seconds longer than anticipated. - Your internet times out and says it's having trouble connecting to the website. - You refresh, and suddenly the website perfectly loads.

Sometimes it even takes more than one refresh to get it to load normally! And this is not limited to the google search engine. It happens on all sorts of websites. There is no clear pattern to when a website actually loads or not. This problem is limited to my 2 WiFi routers, as other WiFi routers load all websites perfectly.

I decided to check the network tab in the inspect element for more information. I get "NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST" which is clearly false because the target website clearly exists. And the timings tab in the faulty request shows that every timing took 0 milliseconds to fulfill, so it may be the case that no data has been sent. (Seen in image below)

Chrome doesn't really have an issue with this. YouTube may have taken a long time to load in a test experiment though but it loaded successfully all along.

This also seems to be appearing elsewhere for a lot of internet request my computer makes, so it may be an internet setting that exists from one application from another. But it's been bugging me a lot with Firefox specifically.

This problem started happening about 1-2 months ago, and I use Firefox 131.0.3, the latest version of Firefox.

I have a 1848ETC-HST data logger from Real Time Automation on an isolated network that does not support HTTPS but Firefox keeps changing it to HTTPS. I tried a private window with the same results. HTTPS-Only Mode is disabled. I entered an exception even though it should not need it. It was working in Firefox at one time and it still works with safari and chrome.

Yesterday I attempted to set up an account on Hulu. Every time I put in a password, it was rejected. I tried multiple times thinking it was a problem with Hulu. Did not work. So I went to Chrome and was able to set up an account without password being rejected -- I wonder if there is a solution to this as I want to use FF -- thanks.

I play Farmville 2 on Zynga Games and have been for years. All of a sudden the game will not fully load. I tried it on my old computer and it works. I'm wondering if there is something blocking it from loading on this new computer all of a sudden but I don't know what it would be or where to look. Could you please help?

I just switched to a new HP Pavilion 14 running Windows 11. Previously, I had no problems using the "set image as desktop background" right click function, but now it no longer works. Instead, I get a solid color screen.

I have used Firefox for years with no problems. The past month, however, I am encountering many problems with my often used web sites. What is going on? I make a purchase and cannot proceed. I have not added any new blockers or anything.

In Duolingo you can turn on/off the sound settings which include 'motivational' noises when you answer correctly. I find them annoying so have them off. I've been using Duolingo and Firefox together for years, no problem, then a couple of months ago these sound settings became ineffective i.e. permanently on even if turned off in Duolingo. I thought the problem was a bug in Duolingo until I loaded it from Microsoft Edge and there was no problem. The settings turned on and off. I'd prefer to carry on as I was before and just use Firefox. How can I fix this?

As the subject says, I'm trying to get Discord links to open in the Discord desktop app instead of a Firefox tab. The 'Applications' section of my Firefox settings that has the settings to handle 'mailto' and 'magnet' links in external apps doesn't have any setting for Discord links for me to change, and I can't figure out how to add one.

Updated Firefox and all my bookmarks are gone. I tried to follow the directions but could not figure out how to get the bookmarks restored. Please help with simple instructions.

Thank you, Joe jmortontn@gmail.com

My wsj.com suscription loads the main screen, then for an individual article briefly shows some of the content before dissapearing and reporting "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

Using latest Firefox in updated Windows 10.

No similar problems with other sites.

I like to prune my browser history manually to keep things I might need to get back to in the near future, but don't want to clog up my bookmarks with, and get rid of the rest. As of version 133, this has been made a lot more difficult, unless I'm missing an option somewhere. - In Settings, there's only the "all or nothing" approach for browser history, no way to be selective. (You can be selective when deleting cookies, but not history.) - In the History sidebar, where I used to do this, you can group by date or site. I used both: Group by site to avoid deleting the recent stuff I want to keep, and group by date to delete old things I no longer need (anything over a week old). It's no longer possible to delete e.g. everything from the gmail domain, or everything from October. I have to delete each. and. every. site. individually. For Gmail, for example, this means roughly a gajillion lines per visit. - In the sidebar, the keyboard Delete button no longer works either. I have to manually click the trash can icon, wait for it to vanish, click the next one...

Is the option to edit this efficiently completely gone, or am I missing something?
