I have determined that the cause of these crashes is hardware acceleration being enabled, I can share more details if desired. It ran in troubleshoot mode then I added extensions one at a time, none of them crashed Firefox. upon turning on the hardware acceleration it crashes upon opening a PDF

Hi all, I'm running Gentoo linux on Apple M1 arm64 when after one random reboot firefox started segfaulting. Currently I've updated my system to be on the latest testing versions of packages and it's giving me the following backtrace:

Here is the Gentoo Forums post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1170250.html Keep note of my last comment there where I realized that I installed firefoxpwa that day and it was working until I reboot in the evening having completely forgotten about firefoxpwa.

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

Hello.

Ihad been using whatsapp when in FireFox for yest. However, in the last two weeks this applications has get stucked, The mensajes can't be sent just a circle spining. Even restarting my computer and firefox the problem solve.

I try whatsapp web on another browser and it works ok.

Best regards.

Hi Firefoxers, I've recently returned to using Firefox after using Chrome, Vivaldi, and Brave for a long time. Most Firefox things are better than these, but I find the bookmarks handling in Firefox extremely frustrating in comparison.

When clicking the bookmark star, the edit bookmark box pops up. The location dropdown gives me a list of 7 recent folders where I can store the bookmark. If I click "Choose" a tiny little box opens up and, in this extremely cramped space, I have to scroll through hundreds of folders and all their expanded subfolders to find the one I want.

One way other browsers solve this problem is by letting the user right click directly on their bookmarks folders and select "Add bookmark here", which then automatically saves URL, page title etc to that folder. But in Firefox, this just opens up a blank "Add Bookmark" box that doesn't contain any info about the current page, meaning you have to manually enter all the details.

So I'm interested in any help advice about:

a) Increasing the number of recent folders in the location drop-down to make it a lot more than 7.

b) Increasing the size of the "Choose" box so I can see the list of hundreds of folders more comfortable.

c) Stopping all folders being automatically expanded in the "Choose" box.

d) Making Firefox auto-add the details from a current page when clicking "Add Bookmark".

Any help would be appreciated!

Mozilla tab keeps crashing (especially at YouTube) I was wondering if someone can help me find out why!

Hello,

please i have a problem with google sites (Google/Youtube/Gmail)

The problem is when i want to open these sites, the sites are loading for about 20seconds and nothing happens after multiple tries (or when the time passes by) the sites function normally, but this problem occurs every few minutes and it's nerve wracking...

I had this exact problem on my former PC and now it's occuring on my new PC so it has to be something wrong with Mozilla

please help me because i don't want to switch to another web browser after using Mozilla for many years

Thanks

When I have the https://www.wavve.com/ site(VOD site of South Korea) open and I'm looking at a different tab, Firefox automatically redirects wavve.com to https://wavve.co/. It doesn't happen every time.

Firefox version 128.0.3 (newest but I've been having this trouble for more than 1 year) Adguard addon.

What should I fix?

This is a problem I used to experience a while ago, and then I wasn't experiencing it at all for a long time; however, it's just cropped up again.

I'll be browsing like usual, then I click a link, and that page won't load, just endlessly "waiting". Then I open some new tabs and try visiting other websites, but they also get stuck in the "forever loading" state.

It's not an internet problem because other programs on my computer are still connecting just fine, including to the same sites I'm trying to visit on Firefox.

An interesting wrinkle: other sites that I already had open tabs in when the problem starts will continue to be able to connect to other pages in that site and otherwise receive new data from that site, whether in the same tab or in a new tab. Specifically YouTube and Discord. I can continue receiving new Discord messages and watching new YouTube videos, while other sites fail to load. That is, unless I close all open tabs of those sites and then try to visit them; then they also stop working like everything else.

I'm not sure what the cause could be. In the instance that happened today, the link that initiated it was literally to the homepage of the same site I was already on. And nothing seems to resolve the problem except for exiting Firefox entirely and relaunching it.

When i log on firefox this morning i got a message about updates. i pressed the wrong button and firefox started with a new profile. Luckily my bookmarks were still there but the add-ons/extensions, etc were missing. i thought profiles were backed up. if so, where are the and how do i use them? if not, how can i restore firefox to the way it was yesterday?

Hello so my computer crashed from a power outage and firefox decided to open random tabs i haven't had opened I ages but didn't bother to open the tabs i had previously had opened. I want these tabs back

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?

Each time I try to download patch or updates to my personal desktop software through FF, I receive an error message. 404 Bad Request - Request header or cookie too large.

How can I correct this as I have to download my updates for my software.  :)
