Every so often the firefox icon pinned to the taskbar becomes blank. Selecting the icon results in file not found message and asks if I want to delete.

There's a lot of articles on internet about this problem. The fix always seems to be "just re-pin to taskbar"

I can re-pin Firefox to the taskbar but should not have to.

Long time Firefox user using Windows10 latest updates. Please advise a permanent fix.

Regards, Dennis

I have been running firefox as my default browser for years. However, it has recently become difficult to get it to open (had to press the start tab several times), and now won't open at all. when I clicked on the app tab, the little icon begins to spin then stops. I have restarted my computer and just now uninstalled and reinstalled the program. No change. I have tried the tab on my desktop, and from the app page but it just won't kick in. I am at a total loss. I have a VPN, but turning it on or off makes no difference. what is wrong?

I noticed today that there's a small blue cube appears at the tip of the mousecursor inside a firefox window , I guess it's some keyboard shortcut I accidentally activated but can't find any info on where to disable

For about 2 weeks now my Firefox Desktop v. 128.0.3 (Mozilla-Flatpak - 1.0) freezes within 30 mins of use.

No good waiting, nothing responds except the exit button.

Clearly, there's a flaw in a recent update.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and my Firefox is from Flatpak.

While writing this I got a Flatpak update for Firefox and Firefox.Locale - whatever that is.

So I'll park my question till I close and reopen Firefox - hopefully with a release from the big freeze-up.

I have latest version of Firefox on Windows 11 PC (fully updated). It initially opened full screen and subsequently started minimized (small). I have tried deleting or renaming xulstore.json multiple times through about:support. This works for a few openings and then the issue recurs. Running in troubleshooting mode with extensions disabled makes no difference. Getting very frustrated. Have also tried changing opening mode in Windows file properties without success.

I am trying to watch a movie on Criterion Collection, this has not happened before, but now I am getting a message that says I have to use a supported browser. I always use Firefox and I am using the latest version which has just updated. Is this a problem with Criterion not being up to speed on the update? Or is there another issue causing this problem?

I enjoy sending and receiving messages using TextFree on all of my devices.

But after the previous two updates of FireFox on my Windows 7 64 bit PC (the last one was today). I get a generic page instead of my messaging page when I go to this link:

https://messages.textfree.us/login

The page still works fine under Chrome, so it's clearly something that the update of FireFox broke.

Any possible fix?

Hi Firefox

I cannot view this document in full screen

Hi. Your browser recently has spikes in RAM usage, up to 96%. It really disturbs my business and my online gaming. It makes my computer lag like crazy.

I've been your loyal customer for more than a decade. Please, tell me what to do. I don't want to use some Chromium piece of crap because of this.

Videos won't play in Firefox, fine in other browsers. Here is the site I wanted to view below.

I am at a loss. I have disabled popup blocking and all installed extensions that have the ability to block popups while trying to print coupons from Qples (I'm trying to print a coupon for Angel Soft toilet paper). I have deliberately placed their domain https://offer.qpleshq.com in the ALLOW list for popups. I have changed every setting I can see to ALLOW that domain access to just about everything. But I can't make popups work. I haven't had any luck in Edge either (and Edge uses Chrome as a framework so anything that doesn't work in Edge is unlikely to work in Chrome). I even did the ctrl-I trick and ALLOWed every setting it showed for that page specifically. I cleared its cache/cookies from the ctrl-I menu and reloaded. Every single time I reload the page, it gives me the option to print (which I want to be able to do) or "save" (which just means emailing you a link to the same print page). If I tell it to print, I get an overlay that reminds me to disable my popup blockers (at which point I internally scream "but I have disabled every d*mn popup blocker I can find". Is there some hidden/secret setting I'm missing here? I don't know where else to look, and I would think enabling wanted popups would be a possibility in an up-to-date browser (version 129.0, literally updated minutes ago). Thanks for any advice.

For the last few days, every time i open Firefox, I am asked to sign in to my frequently used Applications (Facebook, Google, X, YouTube etc). As these are all two-factor processes this is becoming very wearisome.

I always ask to "trust" the browser and i have tried refreshing Firefox, but as soon as I close down Firexox and try to re-open it i get faced with the same issue every time.

Help- I really don't want to change browsers, but this is driving me nuts.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi - running Firefox on two machines, syncing across both, and all settings and add-ons are the same. On Win10 desktop, closing Firefox leaves all cookies and passwords intact for next session. On Win11 laptop, closing Firefox deletes all cookies, passwords, and signs me out from Mozilla. Have tried rename/replace of cookies.sqlite I stress, all settings are the same everywhere, and the same add-ons and extensions on both machines. Antivirus is Avast Premium Security, add-ons are: Adblock Adblocker Ultimate DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Ghostery Privacy Badger uBlock Origin Having to reload passwords and sign in to everything on each session on the laptop is driving me nuts.

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

Text is blurry in Firefox when I am viewing on an external monitor. All Windows dialogs look normal and Chrome and Edge look fine. Only Firefox seems to have the problem. I am using the latest version of Firefox as far as I am aware (auto-update is turned on). The OS is Windows 11. The external monitor is set to 2560x1440 resolution and fonts are scaled to 125%. I'm not sure what other settings are important. I don't see setting in Firefox that seems likely to help.

This is a bug report & fix I found.

Firefox x64 DE 130.0b1 (however, it is not specific to this version of FF.) AMD 3900X CPU (all hardware clocks default unless otherwise noted) AMD RX 6900XT Corsair HX-850 PSU Latest device and chipset drivers from AMD and the respective manufacturers, from their sites Gigabyte Aorus Master motherboard (rev 1) 32GB DDR4 system ram (4x8) stock clocked at 3733Mhz, default timings Windows 11 Build 22635.4005 (Insider's beta-channel build--problem and solution are not build specific, I found)

Problem description:

• Two-three months ago, my previously rock stable system began regular crashing events, every 2-4 days average, sometimes twice a day, sometimes once every 4 days.

• Kernel Error 41, and I spent inordinate amounts of time trying to trace the problem as you might imagine from PSU to device drivers, you name it.

• Finally dawned on me that the hard crashes did not occur when playing a game or when punishing the CPU in some computational tasks--nope, I realized that every time the system crashed I was online running Firefox.

• I got it in my head (through some reasoning I don't even recall) that possibly the CPU stop error that triggered the critical Kernel error and crashed the system was due to a multi-threading bug in my trusty browser!

• So, I checked out Mozilla bug reports and stumbled upon this Windows environment variable, MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S 1, which I decided to try. It has now been two solid weeks without another episode--not even 1--and while I am not whooping and cheering wildly, quite yet, I do believe the problem boils down to some sort of obscure Ff multi-threading bug! Something was locking up process threads between cores! So, I thought I'd report it! If this gets ID'ed and fixed I'll be happy to try it on at some point...;)
