With Yahoo (and other sites) suddenly every single time I am required to use the "authenticator app" routine. I've gone for months or even years with persistent sign-ins before. What happened? How do I get back?

It's like I'm in private mode - but I'm not in private mode.

En mi PC anterior tenía activa la sincronización de marcadores, la PC anterior fue robada, ahora al iniciar de nuevo con mi cuenta en Firefox, mis marcadores no se sincronizaron y perdí una gran cantidad de información recopilada en durante este año, algunos cursos que tomé y muchas referencias de accesos a sitios web.

Que se puede hacer para recuperar esta información?

Videos won't load in previously enjoyed timeframe or indeed et all sometimes. timeouts when loading pages. speeds are like 15 years ago even in troubleshoot mode and after refresh. when can I expect improvement?

I have two notebooks with Firefox (NB1 and NB2). NB2 rebooted and Firefox restarted losing all open tabs; now I would like to bring the tabs from NB1 to NB2; both have synchronisation enabled, but when I go to ‘Settings, synchronisation’ on NB2 it says ‘Synchronising in progress’ and nothing happens. I've also tried going to NB1 and sending a tab to NB2; I select NB2 and nothing happens.

I have a new desktop. I checked the box in Settings to "Always ask you where to save files." However, it's still dumping files in Downloads without asking.

Why, and how do we correct that?

I'm running Firefox version 129.0.2 on my laptop...HP Windows 11 Home 64-bit Version: 22631.4112; 16GB Memory; AMD Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon(TM) 780M Graphics. I thought that I had disabled co-pilot, but apparently not. I've attached a photo of the pop-up window. Thanks for any help Lenny

Hello! After being away from my PC for a few days I tried to open firefox and got this error:

'Firefox is al actief, maar reageert niet. Het oude Firefox-proces moet worden afgesloten om een nieuw venster te openen' aka 'Firefox is already running but not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window'

I deleted the application in windows settings and then redownloaded it. The problem persists. What can I do?

I would like Firefox to save my usernames for sites, but not the passwords. However, Firefox insists that I supply a password before it will save the account details, and if I supply a dummy password, then it will not let me later edit the account and delete the password. I like to remember my own passwords rather than store them anywhere.

I have tried password managers and they are overbearingly controlling, particularly given that they don't store my passwords let alone my 2FA details, so I'd rather just use Firefox's less onerous, built-in system, if only it would allow me to save an account without a password. Surely saving a username without a password is a safe option, so why block it?

Hello. How do I do if I want Firefox to open a new window every time I click on the icon? I tried to insert the command "-new-window URL", which used to work before but it doesn´t anymore. Is there anybody out there who knows something about this?

Hi, I asked the question below a year ago and unfortunately didn't see the response until now.

"Firefox closes unexpectedly" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1417756 Thank you Paul for your response!

I followed the advice but there are 'no' crash reports are created when this happens.

It always seems to be when I'm typing in a text field (and possibly typing control keys too).

I've googled 'short cut' keys for Windows to see if something I'm typing is doing it but haven't found anything.

So other than installing a keylogger on my device is there any other way to figure out what is going on?

Does Firefox have a log file? If so is there a log that says ..."User closed the browser". That would tell me it is me typing something in that is somehow telling the browser to close.

I also don't see any app crash reports in MS Event Viewer. Will Firefox crashes show up there?

Thanks again for any help or guidance you can supply!

Hello, I get crashes when I watch videos on Twitch or YouTube. They happen every half hour UUID 4ff8ecc7-72f0-43dd-a092-3bf250240829

2x in the last 4 days my Lycos/Mailcity email account will not function. However when I switch to a different browser it works fine. I receive the red triangle with a white exclamation point. Can you help me fix it please? Renee Harvey Email hidden for privacy reasons

When I try to login in to websites (example Calm Radio) the Submit or Log In type of buttons don't activate. It does not hang or go into a spinning loop, no blank screen, etc. Just acts like there is no followup action to execute. The same buttons work on Edge or Chrome on the same computer. I have attached a screenshot as an example.

I'm having an issue with signing into my.elementor account using Firefox. I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 11. There are no errors occurring from Firefox or anywhere else. I can sign in to my elementor account with other browsers (Chrome and Edge) no problem.

This started with the last couple of updates to Firefox. I've never had issues like this before with Firefox.

When I go to the elementor website and click on Sign In, the sign in page comes up. I normally click on the Sign in with Google. Then the Google popup shows then goes away in about 2 seconds and I am not signed into elementor. No errors at all.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or can point me in the right direction to troubleshoot.

Elementor works fine when I'm building my website using Firefox.

Thank you, John P Jones

'since the update from Aug 20 to 129.02 cannot open lobstr.co on firefox (after 8 captchas get error). Have no problem opening lobstr on Windows or Google. So this has to do with your last update. What do you suggest?
