Every time there is an update, a lot changes and I must spend a lot of time to fix them. This update, as usual, dropped me out of yuotube, so I must sign in. They make me wait 48 hours so they can somehow verify its me. Thanks Mozilla! What else am I yet to discover that I must redo? Also, where can I actually contact Mozilla to bring up this issue? They seem to not want to get feedback from their patrons. Every update (unannounced) has p---ed me o--.

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

Bookmark titles are not searchable beyond 234 characters. I cannot search for a word lets say X if it is after 234 characters in the bookmark title. If X is within the first 234 characters of a bookmark title I can find the bookmark by searching X. If it is after 234 characters I cannot find the bookmark by searching X. This is a major problem and being able to search the full bookmark title is essential for my work. Is there a workaround, or will Mozilla fix this, or is there an add on or third party software that will enable me to search for that?

Thank you

after creating a new profile, and copying everything in the root directory to the new profile, including search.json.mozlz4, the default search engine setting does not get transferred over and is still set to google

For about the past week I've been having trouble with Gmail and Google Search in my Firefox browser. Typically, I open a Firefox window with multiple tabs and leave the window open all day. I always have Gmail and Google Calendar open in tabs. What happens is that the Gmail tab will at some point give me a message that it cannot connect and has timed out and is trying to reload, but it never reloads, it just stalls. Then I try to open a Google search bookmark to search and the tab remains blank. This happens multiple times throughout the day. Meanwhile I can open Gmail or any Google page in Chrome, which I don't like using.

Sometimes I can close out the Gmail tab that won't load and try to open Gmail in a new tab, but that stalls out too. The only way I can open Gmail again is to close out the Firefox window completely and then relaunch it, then it can open Gmail or Google... until it breaks again.

This never used to happen. I'm using the latest versions of Windows 10 and Firefox on my desktop PC. Nothing else has changed.

Please help me fix this, it's very annoying.

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.

I am reporting this to you for investigation. In a routine scan, WebRoot reported that your Firefox had a memory leek. You might take it up with WebRoot. I really can’t help any further.

Firefox doesn't reach many websites. Most notably my banks. It times out. It says the website is not available. I've tried updating the website URL. I've cleared cookies. I've been able reach these websites with Microsoft Edge. I downloaded an updated version of Firefox. What can I do?

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

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.
