I have no idea but a pop up box keeps coming up even when logged in Password Required-Mozilla Firefox "please enter your primary password" No idea why hope its not a spammer scam

Hello, I used to have Microsoft Teams as a pinned tab (in fact I think it was my first pinned tab), which I no longer need as I now have the Teams app on my computer. I have tried unpinning the Teams tab but whenever I close & reopen Firefox, it reappears - it doesn't show up initially, but will pop up 5-10 seconds after Firefox starts (my other pinned tabs show up straight away) - so I have to close it each time. Not a big issue I know but kinda annoying - any suggestions/solutions?

I can't get firefox to play amazon music web page or netflix because it claims to be installing an app which it never completes. I've tried to purge cache for the site in question, to no avail. What is the solution?

Just lost all my open/hidden tabs and there are many. Not happy. I assume that FF has had an update or crashed.

There needs to be a robust and transperent solution for this. One whoch allows users to do the following:

1. set session back up frequency and number of sessions to cycle 2. restores from a selectable list of back up sessions 3. remembers whch tabs are allocated to which tab group

The ability to have tab groups, means that users can easily have hundreds of tabs "hidden/open" at any point in time.

Finally, if all fails, some instructions on how to access stored session data from a C-drive (windows) backuup would help.

Running Firefox ver. 128.0.3 (also happened on ver. 128.0.2) and on various websites, the screen goes black and Firefox is non-responsive/frozen. Able to close and restart Firefox, but lose any work in progress. Becoming more frequent. Other apps that are open continue to work fine. About:crashes returns "No crash reports have been submitted."

There is a chance that when I use the performance profiler for GPU-related tasks, Firefox becomes unstable and renders content incorrectly. Videos and GPU-intensive tasks, may not display properly or might flash intermittently, and everything graphic like icons and CSS elements gets replaced by other assets.

I've encountered this problem twice, and both times it occurred after I used the performance profiler. My GPU is neither overclocked nor overheated, and 3D and other GPU tasks in different programs work fine.

Reopening Firefox fixes the issue.

I don't know how to reproduce the problem consistently, but I have noticed that if the Firefox window flashes to black when I start the profiler, the issue is likely to occur.

I've put up with this issue for about a year now. Every time FF updates, the "restart" fails. It reopens the browser, and if you had multiple tabs open all of them are also opened - all at the same time.

I've tried to go through the process with just 1 tab and it fails. I wait 2 or 3 minutes for the page to resolve and it never does. So I have to close FF manually and reopen FF before it will function normally again. It's not a huge issue, but it's very important when I'm in the midst of working with several tabs open in the middle of the day. I've learned to "not" close and allow FF to update when I'm working with a lot of tabs. I wait until the end of the day to close FF because it can be a 10 minute disruption to my work (which actually becomes 30 minutes by the time I can get back to what I was doing after opening all the tabs I needed open).

With every update I think, "this time" the FF restart will be fixed....but it's not. I just went through it this morning when I opened FF. I know it downloaded and updated yesterday at the end of my day, which means I shut down FF and my other windows, but I always leave my computer running 24/7, and then turn off my monitors.

When I opened FF today, it attempted to load the 1 tab I had open last night, and after several minutes I simply closed FF and started again. It's that "second" restart that gets everything functioning in FF.

Certainly others have complained about this. I can't be the only person with this issue. Is this just something that's not easy to figure out "why" it won't connect to the Net on restart? That's the issue, actually. FF loses the connection to the Net during the update process and when the restart happens FF can't connect to the Net. Only a manual restart fixes the issue.

Hi Just a quick one, I am using a VPN but everytime I open my browser I get bombarded with this dam acatcha and it takes ages to clear it, please there is bound to be away I can turn this off.......

Thanks

Auf immer mehr Webseiten erhalten wir mit Firefox (jeweils aktuellste Version) zunehmend falsche Textdarstellung! Es herrscht Durcheinander im Text, Worte fehlen, falsche Worte erscheinen (vermischte)

Dies ist ein reines Firefox-Problem. EDGE oder CHROME zeigen die entsprechenden Seiten fehlerfrei an. Insofern kann auch die Rechner-/Betriebssystem-Konfiguration nicht die Ursachen sein.

Es liegt auch offenbar nicht an den Sicherheitseinstellungen von Firefox, die wurden bereits aktiviert/deaktiviert wie in allen Hilfstexten vorgeschlagen.

For the last few weeks, I have had the following issue on macOS Monterey (version 12.7.5) on Apple M1:

When I choose the “Restart now” option in the “Update ready to install” dialog, Firefox closes and I type the password at the admin prompt, but then nothing else happens. The Mozilla Updater process won’t appear in the Activity Monitor, and if I click on the Firefox icon in the Dock, another admin prompt appears, then the updater actually does its thing but at the same time the old version of Firefox tries to launch during the updating process. Sometimes, the updated version of Firefox appears while the old version is also on the screen. It is a really janky process and I always fear that something gets severely broken.

This never happened on macOS Big Sur, the previous major version of macOS.

Saludos grupo. Llevo unos dias que no consigo que ni Firefox, ni Thanderbird inicien de normal. Log del fallo:

Gracias por la atención prestada.

my addresses are not in whatsapp? I Got an iPhone further I had a Mobile from samsung!> Meine Adressen vom Handy wurden n icht mehr übernommen, nachdem icch die Chats - statt nur deren Inhalte - versehentlich löschte. Ich finde keinen Button Aktualisieren', um sie mir aus dem iPhone zu übertragen?!

If an URL already have many tags or longish tags I can no longer see suggested tags when starting to type tags. Image example illustrates. This URL already have the following tag list:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI

Old behavior was if started to type ", spi" it would list suggestions:

Spitfire Spitfire_MkIX Spitfire_MkV Spitfire_MkVI

Easy & clear to select from.

Now it lists all already existing tags before each suggestion:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkIX 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire_MkV 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkVI

Suggestions are scrolled right invisible outside the input box.

Who thought this was a good new feature? It adds nothing, I can already see existing tags, why would I want to see them repeated for each new suggested tag (while not actually seeing the suggested new tag)?

How can I turn this *!$&@! off and return to old behavior?

My Environment: Host Machine - Intel Core i7-4771 @3.50GHz, 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 210 Display Adapter, Intel Gigabit Network Connection (ISP connection is around 700MBps).

OS - Windows 7 Pro V.22H2 Browser = Firefox ver.128.0.3 64bit.

Virtual Machine (VM) - Oracle Virtual Box Ver. 7.0.20 r163906, RAM = 4GB, Network = Bridged Adapter.

OS = Windows 7 Pro V. 22H2 Browser = Firefox ver. 128.0.3 64bit.

The Problem (In my VM only because I never browse sites on my Host PC): Toronto Sun website "Sign In" Screen never loads. A quarter circle just goes round and round. The website in question is - https://torontosun.com/sign-in/ The website itself does load fine and I can browse the site and all articles. But I cannot log into the site because the "Sign in" screen never loads. Also, Firefox tabs crash very frequently on this whole website.

Firefox is the only browser that I have on both my Host and VM (I have deleted MS Edge since it cannot be uninstalled).

On my VM, I tried installing Google Chrome and it works fine. The Toronto Sun Sign In page loads fine and I can log in.

On my Host PC, Firefox actually works. I tried it to see if the "Sign In" screen appears and it does and I can log in. It is only on my VM that it does not load.

What has Changed:

The Oracle Virtual Box software was just updated from ver. VirtualBox-7.0.18-162988-Win to ver. VirtualBox-7.0.20-163906-Win.

What I have tried: I have already done the following: Cleared - "Everything" including History, cookies, Temporary Cached files and pages and Site Settings.

I do not have any add-ons or themes installed.

I have cleared all Windows and User Temp Folders and files. I have rebooted several times in the past couple of days.

I tried increasing the VM RAM from 4GB to 6GB - did not help.

I would appreciate a solution.

Thanks very much. Kenneth

I cannot connect to any Starbuck's or McDonald's ISP, Public Connection. My computer will say I will have "internet access", but when you go to get enter any URL it will time out saying "no internet access". and yes, it always works fine with my home wifi. I'm using Firefox with windows 7. Thank You

I am running Mac Big Sur, 11.7.10. When I am in Firefox version 127.0.2 and I go into any Google search, the tab crashes. It works in private browsing mode and also in other browsers but not in non-private browsing in Firefox. I have tried disabling extensions, add ons, etc. Nothing seems to help. This started happening a few weeks ago with any YouTube page also. How can I fix this? If I can't I will stop using Firefox as I cannot function like this. Please advise!

If this is supposed to happen by default. If so. I don't understand why. To me, this is backwards. Can someone please explain the logic to me?

When I reopen my browser, the tabs to the right of what was the active tabs is chosen. Same thing when I close a tab, the tab to the right opens instead of going left.

There has to be a way to reverse these behaviors I assume are related.
