I installed mozilla firefox on my desktop computer 5 years ago At the time, my email address was davsue@myfairpoint.net This email no longer exists my new email address is davsue123@gmail.com I signed out of firefox I want to sign in again It sends me a confirmation email to davsue@myfairpoint.net that doesn't exist Can't retrieve the email to verify my account Now what? haven't been able to set davsue123@gmail.com as a secondary email

For about the past week I've been having trouble with Gmail and Google Search in my Firefox browser. Typically, I open a Firefox window with multiple tabs and leave the window open all day. I always have Gmail and Google Calendar open in tabs. What happens is that the Gmail tab will at some point give me a message that it cannot connect and has timed out and is trying to reload, but it never reloads, it just stalls. Then I try to open a Google search bookmark to search and the tab remains blank. This happens multiple times throughout the day. Meanwhile I can open Gmail or any Google page in Chrome, which I don't like using.

Sometimes I can close out the Gmail tab that won't load and try to open Gmail in a new tab, but that stalls out too. The only way I can open Gmail again is to close out the Firefox window completely and then relaunch it, then it can open Gmail or Google... until it breaks again.

This never used to happen. I'm using the latest versions of Windows 10 and Firefox on my desktop PC. Nothing else has changed.

Please help me fix this, it's very annoying.

A few weeks ago I accidentally allowed Firefox to Block Youtube from making Viewing suggestions to me. Now when I go to Youtube from Firefox, all I get is a Blank screen. I want to REVERSE THAT decision and ALLOW youtube to make suggestions to me. Please help me get back to AS IT WAS BEFORE, or if you could do that for me would be great . Thanks Anand

Conditions

System: Linux Fedora fc20.x86_64, CPU i520M, 3.66 GiB RAM on DELL E5410

Libraries have been updated from rpm packages of Fedora distribution fc21.x86_64 to satisfy the requirements for Firefox 128 and now following versions of relevant libraries and packages are installed:

X.Org 1.14.4, libstdc++ 4.8.3, glibc 2.18, libglib 2.42.1, GTK+ 3.14.5

NetworkManager-0.9.9.0, dbus-1.6.30, GNOME 3.10.0, PulseAudio 5.0

Updating to newer version of Fedora is not possible option for me now.

Firefox 128.0.3 tarball has been unpacked to /usr/local/lib64/firefox128

Executable bash script, /usr/local/bin/firefox128 has been used to launch Firefox 128, it contains two lines

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/firefox128:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib64/firefox128/firefox $1

Existing file $HOME/.mozilla has been temporarily renamed to avoid hardly possible conflicts while testing the new version of Firefox. (Later I have found that this is not necessary because new installs

of Firefox do not conflict with the previous).

Problem

Execution of the bash script, firefox128 from gnome-terminal command line started Firefox 128 but without GUI. Only the small white interval at left upper corner of the desktop appeared and it could be extended by using mouse to empty (white) window created by Gnome and titled, Firefox.

Observations

After Firefox 128.0.3 started the output of the command, ps -flu username revealed,

      /usr/local/lib64/firefox128/firefox
      /usr/local/lib64/firefox128/firefox-bin \
           -contentproc -parentBuildID 20240725162350 \
           -prefsLen 21615 -prefMapSize 245327 \
           -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox128/browser \
                   {d54171b1-8a79-44b3-a271-db4e09db2365} 3715 true socket

Two parameters preceding `true socket` vary from launch to launch.

Executions of, firefox128 --help

              firefox128 --full-version

display the expected output

In the way of successive approximations to highest Firefox version that starts with GUI in my system I have found this is Firefox 95.0.2

The binaries firefox in Firefox versions from 96.0 to 99.0.1 do not launch firefox-bin and the application hangs requiring explicit kill

Firefox versions 100.0.2, 101.0, 106.0, 106.0.5, 117.0, 117.0.1, 123.0.1, 128.0 I have tested like Firefox 128.0.3 behave in the same way as Firefox 128.0.3 with the same effects.

Output of the command, ps -flu username obtained when Firefox 95.0.2 is running with GUI in my system differs specifically from outputs of this command for Firefox versions above 100 Last argument for firefox-bin in those Firefox versions i.e. 100.0.2 and newer is `socket` whereas in Firefox 95.0.2 the last argument is `tab` as in the case,

       /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/firefox-bin \
                    -contentproc -childID 2 -isForBrowser \
                    -prefsLen 4814 -prefMapSize 241644 -jsInitLen 278884 \
                    -parentBuildID 20211218203254 \
                    -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/browser 9563 true tab

       /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/firefox-bin \
                    -contentproc -childID 6 -isForBrowser \
                    -prefsLen 5627 -prefMapSize 241644 -jsInitLen 278884 \
                    -parentBuildID 20211218203254 \
                    -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/browser 9563 true tab

       /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/firefox-bin \
                    -contentproc -childID 7 -isForBrowser -prefsLen 5627 \
                    -prefMapSize 241644 -jsInitLen 278884 \
                    -parentBuildID 20211218203254 \
                    -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/browser 9563 true tab

During executing both the bash scripts firefox128 and firefox95, launching the respective Firefox versions, Firefox writes messages to stdout (gnome-display) but the outputs do not differ qualitatively.

For firefox128 the only intriguing mesasage is the last one that appears while closing Firefox 128, [GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt

These messages not differing qualitatively for Firefox 95.0.2 and Firefox 128 can be summarized as follws (firefox:5370): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_style_context: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed gtk_style_context_get_state: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_CONTEXT (context)' failed gtk_style_context_get_property: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_CONTEXT (context)' failed gtk_style_context_get_background_color: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_CONTEXT (context)' failed gtk_style_context_get_color: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_CONTEXT (context)' failed

(firefox:5370): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: \ g_value_unset: assertion 'G_IS_VALUE (value)' failed

(firefox:2901): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: \ g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed and g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed

[GFX1-]: glxtest: libEGL missing methods

For Firefox 128 they are preceded by warnings like, [Parent 4185, Main Thread] WARNING: \ g_value_unset: assertion 'G_IS_VALUE (value)' failed: \ 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187

Moreover during starting Firefox in versions 96.0 - 117.0.1 there is the message,

                    os_mmap failed.: Cannot allocate memory 

This message is absent either in Firefox 95.0.2 and Firefox 128.0, 128.0.3

Motivation

The effect just described looks very strange but may be common to older versions of Linux distributions still being used by number of people with various motivations.

Various institutions, particularly banks, require "newest" versions of a browser and I am afraid that Firefox 95.0.2 working in my system will be very soon considered outdated that will result in lack of electronic access to bank account.

Therefore solving the problem just presented appears to be important.

Thank you in advance

Dear Firefox, I want to install any VPN app to access my Bank account, but my phone number is not available because I am outside the Americas. Can you let me know how can I install and use any VPN program you provide? Thank you so much for your help!

I am not now able to access the Macy's department store website. Here is the error message I receive when I try:

You don't have permission to access "http://waf-failover.macys.com/prod/WAF_Failover/WAF_error_page.html?" on this server.

Reference #18.cf94d817.1722504206.34c574ac

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.cf94d817.1722504206.34c574acWhat does the following message mean?

How do I correct this problem?bold text

I keep getting: Save Login for http://blabla.xyz?!!

if i say 'never' it just keeps asking.

now your saying. aah. thats cause it cannot differentiate a ipv4 and a hostname.

The gethostbyname() function returns a structure of type hostent for the given host name. Here name is either a hostname or an IPv4 address

i wonder then what this browser does. not remembering by name. here thus the word never is better replaced by -> ask me again next time.

help me restore my pre update condition. This is very upsetting My tabs, bookmarks, everything is gone, gone, gonegone Can I just delete this version 128.0.3 and go back to previous version, which was functional?

When I upload my profile picture to Mozilla accounts, it renders correctly in the browser, but when I click submit, it changes to lots of lines that give me trypophobia. It is also wrong in the Firefox browser profile icon.

Hey,

I have noticed recently that Discord crashes its tab as soon as someone else joins a voice call and microphone access is given.

I am on Linux/NixOS/Hyprland and am not experiencing this issue on Linux/Endeavour/Gnome.

The crash report mainly complains about libxul.

Any ideas or directions are greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys, I'm having trouble logging into Firefox on any of my devices even though i can pass all the password & security steps. When logged in, it asks me if want to connect any other devices then immediately logs me out.

On my main laptop i have all my bookmarks & passwords working but am not logged in, but i want to replicate this on another laptop.

Any ideas?

The fucking forced dark mode has return despite the previous fix layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1 in about:config fixing it for years. This and the current replacement fixes don't save. I want a solution for PERMANENT light mode (black text on white background) for ALL menus, pop-ups, dropdown menus and hover over tab info.

And don't tell me to go search for a different theme I've already spent hours doing that and firefox has broken them only making some menus use the appropriate mode. On top of that I can't even pick an option to search for one that uses light mode I just have to go through each one and try it if I want to know which mode it uses that is NOT a solution to anything.

Replacement "fixes" for reference: ui.systemUsesDarkTheme won't even let me set to 0 only has true/false browser.theme.content-theme set to 1 browser.theme.toolbar-theme set to 1 (Why in the absolute hell these were added when a simple addition to preference setting wasn't is beyond me)

Very sorry for the aggressiveness but I am so very VERY tired of having to fight firefox on this preferance for years when their dark mode hurts my eyes.

Firefox desktop for Windows 10 stopped letting me copy text with the mouse. Copy is greyed out 90% of the time. I really have gotten used to using the mouse to do this. Are they going to fix it? I will have to use a different browser if no fix is in the pipeline. That is how often I use it. Thanks

For a few days now whenever a new tab opens, either by clicking a link in search results or by clicking a link in an email, the cursor jumps to the bottom of the page and I have to scroll to the top of the page. I'm just getting started with Windows 11 on a new computer. What happened to cause this?

I just want to bring it to your attention, that since my latest Windows 11 updates, Firefox browser has been having browsing issues.

1. Basic or multiple tabs are no longer browsing as before. Pages such as: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, CNN, Microsoft home Page, Google, GoDaddy, and so on.

Please note: I have cleared the Cache and internet history, and this does not make any difference. The issue remains the same.

What is causing this basic browsing issue with this version of Firefox?
