ChatGPT has stopped working in Firefox

Same issue. I am using Firefox 103 on Ubuntu and since a few days ago, I am unable to use ChatGPT at all on the browser. Sometimes a simple “Hello” get’s thru, but nothing else. I get the constant “oops an error occurred” error message. Tried with a fresh install of Firefox without any extensions too, but did not work. Have to point out, ChatGPT started responding very slowly in the last 2 weeks. and since around Friday or Saturday, it just does not want to work on Firefox. On Chrome I have no issue running the WebApp. Anyone got a hint why is the whole WEB started hating Firefox? First Facebook decided to F up on my browser, now ChatGPT… What is the workaround other than “use a chromium based browser” ?

As someone pointed out, deleting cookies related to the ChatGPT domain seems to solve the issue. It it for me, but instead of using the dev tools, I just used the extension called “cookie remover”, and it worked. The extension is a very good one, and also useful in other situations (e.g., odd zooming interactions on google maps is another problem solved successfully in one click)

For me a reinstall and update solved it. Hope it will stay like that, since others pointed out, this was temporary

I use the EditThisCookie FF extension, as I have for years on Chrome. It allows you to see the components of cookies, in case you have a program that needs to be fed elements like a session ID, username, password, etc.

Deleting the cookie works to solve this problem, at least temporarily, and is a subfunction of that extension.

Make sure chatgpt.com is your active tab, click the extension, then the trashcan icon.

Please fix that as I don’t want to use Chrome Or Edge.

Why do you think this issue exists? Google wants us using Chrome. I doubt this will be fixed anytime soon.

I can attest to this. I have been using ChatGPT on Firefox since December of 2022. It’s really slowed down (particularly during the prompt writing) on Firefox and sometimes I cannot even send the prompt once written (the on-screen “send” button is greyed out). I have to switch to Chrome to use ChatGPT and then back to Firefox for whatever I got going on there.

For me it was a firefox extenstion “Superpower ChatGPT” that was causing the issue. Once I removed that extension, ChatGPT worked for me with no more issues.

I can’t even open GPT on Firefox. Loading the page does nothing.

For me the issue was that after entering my login credentials, I was presented the login screen again, resulting in a loop without ever being actually logged in. Disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection for ChatGPT fixed the problem as a workaround.

i was having the same problem, but you have to be specific, which operating system were you using, which Firefox version were you using.
I was using Debian, Firefox 115.15. i solved installing Firefox using snap
sudo snap install firefox to install it
if you installed firefox using apt you need to uninstall it first

Same here! All plugins de-activated to see if there is interference, but it does not solve the problem.

I have been working fine with ChatGPT in Firefox (in Windows) last months, and it just stopped working in the last hours. No way to make it work now… I tried with different computers, with different versions of Windows, and all with the latest version of Firefox. Rebooting and new tabs change nothing, I cannot even login now, the page seems not to fully load… but I can login with other browsers, so the servers are not overloaded… Seems to be, again, a bug with Firefox only…
Hope they notice and fix it soon…

Same here with Firefox (Win10). I used it yesterday. First I had an empty chat (no history on the side bar) but not reponsive ( I could type in but could not upload the prompt). Then I cleared the cookies. I pressed the login button but it was unresponsive.

is supported in firefox v125+, all ESR users are now unable to use chatgpt.

Same thing here with Edge, Chrome and Firefox, hardly any response from ChatGPT. regenerate all the time then the menu on the left doesn’t load, responses when it does load crash, and document outputs are repeating. Awful, are there any decent alternatives? Gemini is none to clever, copilot, not good.
