Firefox flashes a white screen when loading a new page. This is a known issue. Is there a way to make it stop?

I see numerous people looking for answers (on mozilla, on stackoverflow, on superuser, on reddit, and on mozillazine), and I see no answers that work.

Is there a solution that works?

Does anyone know why Mozilla programs this in? (Is there a way to ask Mozilla directly?)

Firefox has been the only browser for me over the years, allowing customizations that free me from the frustrations of Chrome, Safari, et al. But why this flashbang, as kartana put it on reddit?

I'm trying to connect to my MS Exchange 2019 onsite server to get access to email/calendar.

I can receive emails but cannot send, probably because there's no password field for the smtp server. My Incoming mail is different from the Outgoing mail server hence I need to enter the password. But the only field there is for the username which is never going to work. My Exchange server is set to use SSL/TLS.

This I tried with the Owl addon. But same issue when configured for imap. I need to use my internet provider's smtp server. Everything I need for that is there, except the password field.

Dear Madam / Sir: I had Windows 11, all files and applications including Thunderbird reinstalled in my computer, but I am now unable to access existing email server with Thunderbird.

In ' Set up your existing email address' there is a password needed that I don't remember and there isn't an option to reset it. So I am stuck. I called Geek Squad who did the installation; they referred me to AT&T (my internet provider); they said they cannot help with Thunderbird.

Please let me know what I can do to access existing email server in Thunderbird (attached is photo of setting which appear correct), thank you in advance, Stefan

I recently tried logging in to my account at a financial institution and in addition to my user name and password they wanted to send me a verification code. I have no means other than e-mail to receive the code so I cannot log in. E-mail is not one of their optional ways to get the code. They say they have not changed their procedures. Could there possibly be something in the latest Firefox updates that could cause this problem?

I have been unable to complete the update/upgrade of Firefox on my Laptop. Upon starting my computer I have downloaded the upgrade file offered in the opening message. It performs normally right up to the end when it gives a message that something went wrong. It then offers an alternate download and method to upgrade which downloads fine and begins to install. At the end of this install, the install wizard says "finished" however despite the "Launch Firefox" box is checked, it never opens Firefox. For some reason the update is not completing, and now I am having trouble with some Apps opening which I suspect is due to the browser being out of date. I have tried clearing my Cache and Cookies and re-trying but have remained unsuccessful. I really could use some assistance with getting my browser successfully updated. Best Regards, Brian

Slow loading speed for my local uTorrent GUI

I've noticed since a few upgraded of Firefox tat I am having an issue loading my local uTorrent GUI at: https://192.168.0.xxx:36724/gui/index.html. I am currently using 132.0.2 x64 and it eventually loads after 3-4 minutes. There are absolutely zero add-ons at the moment, and it does not matter if it is a portable version or standard installed version. I do not seem to have this issue while using Firefox (latest) ESR portable version.

Is there something I'm missing here? I am not sure if it is the port that's the issue with Firefox, because I have a local website using port 9090 and 8080 without any issues on loading. Also, it is happening with the nightly version of FF as well. All other browsers load quickly.

Kind regards,

How many impab files should I have in my Thunderbird profile folder? I do have 8 different e-mails managed by Thunderbird (in case that matters). Win 10 Pro PC, Thunderbird Version 128.4.2esr. I have impab.mab (dated 2017), impab.mab.msf (dated 2012), then I have impab-1.sqlite, impab-1.sqlite.shm, impab-1.sqlite.wal -- then I have -2, -3, -4, -5. and -6 of the same three files that have the -1. Should I/can I delete any of these? Should any be kept and renamed? The ones with -1 through -16 are all dated either today (11/25/2024) or 11/19/2024. Just did not know if there were a bunch of duplicate files being created, or if possibly all of these files are needed because of my multiple accounts. All my accounts use the same address book. Also, been using Thunderbird since I started on the internet back in the 1990s - it's in general a fantastic program.

For some reason any bottom toolbar in firefox (youtube is for example) is not completely at the bottom. After tinkering around the settings a bit I found that the Scroll to Hide Toolbar setting when disabled is the exact height of the toolbar offset. I'm not seeing that many solutions to this online that's recent.

I have had software problems recently and have lost a number of functions that I could use your help with. My browser is Firefox. And for my home page I use "my.earthlink".

Upon completion of the repair, I discovered that all my stored passwords and user names were lost. I had 189 protected items that are now gone. Does your program (Mozilla/Firefox) have a cloud file or another method to retrieve this information?

Hi. Recently, in my Firefox browser on Windows, there is a new "News" section on the new tab page - how can I get rid of this??

I like the Pocket stories on the new tab page, precisely because they are usually *not* news - they are interesting, thought-provoking, or quirky stories that provide a break from actual news headlines. I need to escape the actual "breaking news." Please allow users to get ride of the "real" news section.
