Firefox Community Forum

Hello guys,

The trouble I ll present you might come a bit late, I've just never thought about asking on this forum (didn't even know that it exists lol) and I spent a lot time on tutorials trying to find the solution... lol 😩

My situation : I have a laptop with debian 12 stable. Early July, I updated my apps, Firefox 128 has just been released. Since the Firefox 128 update, I can no longer execute Firefox, I always get the pop up message :

Failed to execute child process (no such file or directory)

I've tried many times to uninstall & reinstall, purge & reinstall. Still the same "failed to execute... " message. all the subsequent updates (128.X and 129.X) haven't solved this problem...

On the other hand, Firefox ESR 128 works like a charm.

Is anyone in the same situation as me ? 😕

Wishing you a nice day :)

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 have been having certain visual bugs occurring within the Firefox browser, I do not know what's causing them but am hoping someone can help! Firefox keeps on adding or changing translucent white boxes to multiple websites, I have some from YouTube attached below but I've had this issue on multiple websites. I'm using an ARM architecture Surface Pro X and when I reached out to Microsoft they couldn't help me since the error was just in Firefox.

Hello - I've noticed lately that when I type a search, sometimes Firefox does nothing. It doesn't pull any results, it acts like I've done nothing, but I can see the search terms I typed in the address bar, separated by + symbols. It simply doesn't go anywhere and doesn't perform the search. I do a lot of searching when I'm working and this happens approximately 1 out of every 15-20 searches. I've attached an image where I opened a new tab, typed my search term and it remains on the homepage. You can see the search terms in the address bar.

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

I am looking into an issue for someone that is using private browsing and to use a financial app. He has the website in the exception list for pop-ups but every time he opens this app in private browsing it asks for him to allow pop ups. When he added the exception he was in non private browsing mode.

My question is, even with the link to this site added to the exception list, is it completely normal for pop-ups to be blocked every time you open private browsing to the same website?

When I copy something to my clipboard I can paste it into Firefox. Into web pages and also into the URL bar.

But when I copy something in Firefox, it does not go to the clipboard. The clipboard still hast the content which was already there.

Also strange: When I cut text in a textarea, input element or the URL bar, the text is removed. But it is not sent to the clipboard. When I cut and paste, the text I get is what was previously in the clipboard.

What could be the cause? How can I debug this problem?

Starting today, amazon web pages are not updating correctly. The amazon web page appears normal till I sign in, then it doesn't update "cart" contents or show account holders name or list any "Lists" when accessing account saved lists. I have deleted entire history, and all cookies and caches X 3. I Rebooted computer along with a "system command control reset" and still the pages are not loading correctly. Short of reinstalling "Firefox" what more can I do? Are there any "Preference" files or files with specific extensions I can delete? Thank you. Gerard

On many site where I try to login, when I hit the LOGIN button nothing happens. This does not happen if I open a private window. I am on version 129.0.2.

The latest update also seems to force Firefox to occasionally run at turtle speed. Any time there is an update Firefox will slow the whole computer to turtle speed. When I reboot, Firefox can take up to 15 minutes to fully load if there is more than one window to load.

Is there a fix for all this? Thanks

Today, it started.

When I open sites that I am subscribed to, a small gray-shaded nearly transparent rectangular window appears in the upper right of the screen (see attached screen capture), and it blocks access to login and search, thus rendering the site inoperable. The latest site rendered inoperable is Amazon shopping, so this is not a minor thing. I can no longer retain Firefox as my default browser.

No other browser on my Mac does this; the earlier version of Firefox active last night did not do so either. What is the purpose of this gray-shaded window? It makes the latest browser appear to be infected with malware.

Firefox error "Video unavailable This content isn't available". even though videos work in other browsers?

Cleaned cache etc. Does the same in incognito mode.

Ever since the last Firefox update that released, the Firefox on my home computer is extremely slow. Takes 5 minutes to load a page. I open Chrome or Edge and everything loads extremely fast no issues. I do not want to leave Firefox as it is my favorite browser and has been for many years. What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?

I'm trying to use Navigate360 to schedule appointments with my College advisor. It was working fine a couple of days ago, but now every time I try to access the tab for appointments I'm left with a white page with the nav bar still there.
