Do you mean a clean FF profile?

So yeah also, if FF does open and I use it, I have had as you describe a problem with not being able to instantly re-open it. For this particular issue though, it is more that it refuses to do anything (randomly). Thanks

Yes, clean FF profile. I had a similar issue this morning, closed Firefox and tried to run it again very soon after. Had to wait a few seconds for Windows to get it sorted.

Cheers yeah ended up having to do copy out the profile, uninstall, reboot, reinstall and then copy the contents back across. So far so good!

134 broke the PWA add-on, was wondering why it was loading up completely blank. Had a look at the Github page and looks like the developer already pushed out a fix last week, but sadly wasn't reviewed in time on the add-on store, but you can manually update from the release page: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/releases/tag/v2.13.2

Well this really annoys me....

Mozilla removed the ability from the browser to send feedback to them about websites not working.

For months now the UK river website has been running super slow. I put it down to them.

However I have just realized the issue isn’t them but Firefox!

It runs super slow, loads incompletely and I have to refresh to get it to load.

And I cant even send them feedback that the website is not working properly in Firefox!

No issues with that site on Firefox here.

Seems to work fine in Edge. But the website is very slow and loads incompletely with FF.

Often needs a reload of the browser to finally get the page up.

Edge is working perfectly on that website. FF is a no go.

What is "the UK river website"?

The river that goes through Brazil.

There is definitely something wrong with it. I tested it yesterday. Works fine in Edge. But super slow and partially loads in FF.

Been like this for many months.

(I don't use any add-ons)

Ok found how to report bugs

Used it a couple of nights ago, had no issues at all on FF. Did you try a clean profile just to rule out any add-ons/settings/cache/etc that could be causing it?

I have no add-ons

Then it could be a setting or corrupted cache affecting it, hence why I recommended trying a clean profile just to rule that out and see if it still happens with vanilla Firefox on default settings.

I get that kind of thing once in a blue moon with Amazon and mostly I think that is my 4G connection being a bit flaky, most of the time it loads fully almost instantly through every version of Firefox so far.

Firefix v135 has landed. Is it me, or are the fonts slightly different now? For example the font on OcUK doesn't seem to be as clear.

Firegod · 4 Feb 2025 at 16:31

On 135 if you close the AI Chat Window is there an easy way to get it back? I can't see a way to add a toolbar icon or the likes? Thanks!

darael · 4 Feb 2025 at 16:36

I was right about the font change.

v134.0.2:

v135.0:

Yeah I noticed straight away the font has changed - it seems to depend on screen - on my older RGB TN and IPS types it is much clearer than before, on newer display technologies especially those with BGR layout it is less clear than before though not a huge change.
