Metamask Glitch | Access Problems Worsen for Many Users
A rising tide of complaints has emerged from users of Metamask, with mounting frustration over ongoing access issues on Firefox. Many are reporting that their wallets are malfunctioning, leaving them unable to access crucial funds.
Users Still Locked Out
Reports indicate that Metamask continues to malfunction on Firefox, presenting users with endless loading screens. Despite claims of hundreds of thousands impacted, which some consider exaggerated given Firefox’s low market share, the community remains worried. One user expressed skepticism: "If this is not an issue anymore, why is your issues section on GitHub full of people with bricked Metamask extensions on their Firefox?"
Others have struggled to regain temporary access despite using various strategies, with one person lamenting, "I am completely stuck for months as Metamask just infinitely loads on Firefox. There is no solution. WTF!!!!!!!!"
Frustration Over Lack of Solutions
Despite suggestions to switch to alternatives like Chrome or mobile apps, many still face dissatisfaction regarding the support they receive from Metamask. A user noted, "I have lots of infinite spinning. Need to disable the app and then re-enable it. Really annoying." Users are growing increasingly impatient as their funds remain inaccessible.
In an acknowledgment of ongoing issues, Metamask confirmed they are reviewing new versions designed to address Firefox compatibility. However, no timeline has been provided, which only fuels the worries of affected community members. A spokesperson indicated, "Unfortunately, I can’t provide an estimate on when these versions will be approved by Firefox."
Changing Landscape of Crypto Wallets
Amid the chaos, some users recommend creating new wallets in different environments to recover their access. One user suggested, "If you have your seed recovery phrase, create a new wallet in Brave or download the app, and recover your account." However, many are left wondering if Metamask can repair the damage to its reputation, especially as they may consider switching to alternative wallets if things do not improve.
Interestingly, numerous comments have stressed the importance of having a backup. As one user pointed out, "Dude, my Metamask on Firefox hasn’t worked for years. That's why you keep multiple secure backups of your seed."
