Just here to laugh at Firefox for breaking things that used to work. A.k.a. a programmer's refuge in these troubled times. Breaking things makes more work for them... sigh.

Anyway, Firefox is a mess right now, and I am not here to do anything but point a finger and laugh. Feel free to get mad, whoever is reading this. Maybe quit computers and go do some ayahuasca instead - it will reveal the world's insanity starkly.

Anyhow, some Trello board functionality is now broken for me, because of course it is — Firefox breaks things as a matter of course. Ahem, they "publish updates regularly", lmao. If this sounds cynical, DO BETTER WORK INSTEAD and stop with the grandiose emails, pretending the Mozilla Foundation is going to save the Internet. Not with your broken-@$$ browser you're not.

Do what seems to be so difficult these days: break it all down, concentrate on a handful of importan things, and work at those until they're rock-solid. Stop with the flailing and spewing, the smoke screens and nonsensical plans, and just make a basic browser that's rock-solid.

Meanwhile, I'll do what I always do, whenever I find another thing broken in Firefox: I'll switch to another browser, like Opera, where things inexplicably "just work" (I know... programming is hard, because "Everything is Rocket Science Now®")

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Can you give more detail about what is broken?

Are there error messages in the Web Console?

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

Firefox shows the shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Content Blocking is blocking content.

  • click the shield icon for more details and possibly disable the protection

You can check the Web Console about what content is blocked

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Remove the Cookies" from websites that cause problems:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Data

"Clear the Cache":

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
