A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

That's amazing. What's the most common issue you have encountered and how is it fixed?
To be honest, the issues are quite varied, because there's so many webpages and extensions out there. But thankfully the solutions are pretty uniform.
Very often, all that people need is a hard refresh of the webpage they're looking at (Ctrl+F5).
If that's not it, then frankly these steps will resolve 95% of problems: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems
If the problem looks more fundamental, I also like to narrow it down by trying a fresh Firefox profile right away.
This gives you practically a factory-reset Firefox (except you can switch back to your old profile to get your configurations back). So, if it still occurs in the fresh profile, then something's wrong with the OS or the Firefox installation, not with Firefox's configuration.
