Firefox Community Forum

i have for over 7 months that i have multible firefox crashes during the day, i only uses the pc for gaming, but now also for other stuff and use firefox for it.

Can anyone help me out ? and if more info is needed i would be happy to share, as long as this problem can be solved

When I attempt to start either Firefox or Thunderbird they continuously cycle saying "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. The old Thunderbird process must be closed to open a new window". When I close it down - it cycles to same message on both Mozilla products. Last night it all worked well - today this. I am on WIN 11 SH3.

As it never starts I cannot use Mozilla troubleshooting.

So why since I updated from like version 96 or something to the latest version 128.0 of Firefox, is there no sound on X (Twitter) videos until they play one time first. I literally have to slide the slider to the end, then replay the X vids now to get sound. And I cant do that on live streams there so Im stuck with zero sound on lives. What the hell happened? This wasn't an issue until I updated Firefox finally.

This is exactly why I avoid installing Firefox's near daily updates like the plague for as long as possible. Almost every time you update, you regret it.

Can anyone help? If not, FF is gone and Im going to a different browser. You get tired of 27 updates a month after a while and stuff changing and other stuff not working.

Running Win 10 on a CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme GXIVR8020A5 Desktop Gaming PC (Intel i5-8400 6 Core Processor, AMD RX 580 4GB, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB 7200RPM HDD, WiFi, Win 10 Home 64-bit) With an upgraded 32GB of RAM. Everything else works as fine as it always did.

1.)Firefox 128, pressing enter into an empty search box no longer loads the default search engine website? How to reset previous search engine settings? 2.) I also noticed in firefox 128: I've noticed that you can no longer delete previous searches from the search field. Previously you could use the arrow keys to navigate, then press the shift or option key (varies by platform) in combination with Delete to remove old entries.

I have been looking online for all the troubleshooting routes, but I've tried so many with the same result. I've trashed and redownloaded it on my Mac multiple times and cannot even get into the options to toggle and choose. I have to usually quit firefox for anything to even happen when I click, but when I've seen it stop bouncing, it just shows it's stopped responding. I really like Firefox more than Brave and Chrome, if you could please help, I'd appreciate it. Other browsers like Chrome and Brave still work, and I just dowloaded and started using Brave in the meantime.

Does somebody know how to disable firefox to start in the last used workspace? I use Firefox under Linux in a Window Manager and defined a rule that should put firefox in a specific workspace but in this case firefox remembers its last used workspace and does not 'obey' the set rule...

I keep getting the error in the image and can't use my tabs at all . The search loads for 10-15 seconds and then I get the error. I have tried troubleshoot mode too !

Hi. What is the problem with my mozilla firefox? i have an updated version. From time to time, it just stops working. It might be when i open multiple tabs, or when i open 1 tab. When it happens, it just stays on "loading" status, and shows blank screen, and the url im requesting does not open. But when i close mozilla, and start again, then it will work.

I am increasingly finding that websites of all sorts load but I can't click on hyperlinks to other pages. Reloading the page or restarting doesn't help. I also can't type in boxes, which means I can't log in to a number of sites.

This problem does not occur in 'troubleshoot mode'.

In a linked problem, there is a webpage I use often which simply won't work properly - most of the content is absent. Again, if I use 'troubleshoot mode' it works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi team/community I'm a macOS Firefox user and i currently have a setup where pressing the CAPS KEY makes so shift - option - command and ctrl are pressed at the same time, this is useful for making keyboard shortcuts that do not interfere with any OS commands or app specific commands. However, it seems like Firefox is unable to accept this combination as a keyboard shortcut for any extension. You can see my issue in my attached picture, is there any way this can be fixed on my part?

Hello, I have Firefox 128 installed on Window10 Pro v. 22H2 fully up to date. I have LastPass: Free Password Manager extension in my Firefox.

Up until 2 days ago I had an icon on my toolbar for the LastPass extension that I could click after opening Firefox to login to LP. It has worked fine for years. It was that way when I shut down my computer that night. The next morning when I opened FF, that icon was gone. LP still shows in my Add-ons manager as Enabled. To the best of my knowledge, nothing on my comp updated in that time period.

I tried clicking the 'Extensions' button in the FF toolbar, but all it did was to open the "Recommendations" tab of my Add-ons manager. Previously, clicking the 'Extensions' button in my toolbar would show a menu of extensions including LP. I would get an option to show an LP icon in my toolbar. That worked as recently as a few weeks ago when I wiped my hard drive and did a fresh install of Windows.

I tried removing and reinstalling the exension. It made no change. Next I fully removed Firefox with the Remove Programs option in the Windows control panel, then removed all traces of FF in my Windows user profile. Then rebooted. Then DL'ed Firefox fresh from the FF site and re-installed it. Twice. No icon shows up, and the 'Extensions' button continues to do nothing but send me to the 'Recommendations' tab of the add-ons manager.

I had a few other extensions installed as well as LP at the time this problem arose. But when I re-installed Firefox, I only installed LP and tried to get its icon showing before installing any other extensions, just to be sure there was no conflict.

Can you offer any suggestions to help?

Thank you.

I took no action to refresh or change my Firefox settings before saved passwords disappeared. Bookmarks and history are intact. I checked the data in profiles and the only json file listed is within profiles:default release. Within this, root directory shows logins.json1.corrupt five times for 18th July. There is a logins.backup file added on 19th July. Can I use this to restore my passwords?

Firefox, specifically the Windows version, has started generating PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR errors on https:// web sites. What I find interesting is that Firefox says the page is not secure in the address bar - even though the page is secure. Firefox on Mac and IOS do not have this issue. I'm also running Bitdefender Anti-virus with Encrypted Web scan. With that feature turned off, blocked pages seem to work. I found yesterday that logging out of Sync while Encrypted Web scan is on allowed the blocked pages to load.

I deleted Firefox and re-installed it, thinking I'd fixed the problem. No such luck. I've tried all the other fixes I can find but none of them work. This is clearly a Firefox issue and not an issue with Bit Defender since it only occurs (and has been widely reported for years) with Firefox for Windows.

On a side note, even support.mozilla.org gets blocked.

Anyone have a real fix that will work?

I have developed a web application (wordpress) that shows a number of thumbnail images, each connected to an mp4 video. There is custom javascript such that if a user selects a number of thumbnail images, creating a playlist, all of the associated videos will play back in the order selected. This works perfectly in the Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Opera browsers. However, in Firefox, rather than playing back the videos in sequence, after each video, a gray screen appears in the video player (JWPlayer) that says the file is corrupted. The mp4 files are not corrupt since they work well in the other browsers. Also, once that gray box appears, by clicking the "Play Video"button the next video in the sequence will play but this must be repeated after each video in the playlist. Is there a setting that can be adjusted so that sequence will play in FIrefox? Is there a default setting that prevents the sequential playback?

Any help would be appreciated

browser doesnt let me see the back arrow? how do you get this back to as was before the latest FF update,that pisses everyone off all the time deleting bookmarks and your browser set up!!

  enclosed is two pics,top left full, cant see the back arrow,i have to grab browser and reduce to see,2nd image.

Since the last update, or perhaps the one before that, both I am my husband have been having trouble with tabs. We are both on Windows 11 but machines from different makers. It is my habit when researching to right click links to open interesting looking things in a new tab and then go back to read all the tabs in turn, the info sticks better that way than reading>searching>reading>searching. I have never had trouble with this before no matter how many tabs I had open, I have a powerful laptop.

Suddenly Firefox will act as normal and then after a bit the tabs don't load.I don't mean the rightclick/open in new tab doesn't work but the tab which opens will have nothing on it. Sometimes they will open properly in a new window but sometimes not. Also on the Daily Mail website the page doesn't seem to complete somehow; the relaod icon doesn't appear and you have to click the 'cross' to amke the page stop trying to fetch something (I presume). This doesn't happen with any other newspaper site.

I have refreshed Firefox, I have checked all my settings, I am not using a VPN or private windows, I have changed About:config dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.backgroundUsesEcoQoS to false to get rid of the eco leaf symbol showing in task manager I have Norton as my virus protection. I have closed and reopened the browser and switched the laptop on and off :-) I have read many things on this forum but I have'nt tried this yet as YouTube is not involved https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1384439

So I am out of ideas and it is really annoying me. I have found many other people have this problem, I have been using Firefox for about 20 years and I don't want to have to change but will if I can't get this sorted out! Any help gratefully received, Mary
