In Case You’re Rage Quitting Firefox Because Everything Is Broken…

March 19th, 2025

tldr: It’s MetaMask. Disable MetaMask and Firefox will work normally again.

I’ve been using Firefox for about two decades. I’ve had a few rage quits over that time. The latest was yesterday when many sites that I use were broken—just in Firefox. Without investigation, I used this latest Firefox snafu as an excuse to try to quit it again.

I’m on Brave at the moment. I can’t seem to enable a conventional window title bar, so trying to move the window around requires one to carefully pick an unused area in the top portion of the UI to click to drag the window around.

I’ve been moving windows around by grabbing the title bars since the 1980s, but in 2025, that had to go for some reason. How about an option to enable it for us geezers? Nope. And drop down menus… Those seem to be unavailable as well.

So, I slinked back to Firefox (again) to try to figure out why it shit the bed this time. Turning extensions off revealed that there’s a problem with MetaMask. Disabling it will cause sites to load normally again.
