See 7a70ec71-3686-4468-8647-4d6da0240727. This seems to be a recent and persistent issue. I've rebuilt the global index and several mailboxes. Activity Manager shows a real drop in the performance of indexing a mailbox (it gets slower and slower), eventually resulting in a crash.

Side note: the message "Indexing {X} of {Y} messages in {folder_name}..." would be infinitely more helpful if the message also mentioned which account that folder was in.

and I immediately began scrambling to get it back. I found this somewhere: "Don't Delete Files" is the preferred option because it saves the old profile's folder and allows you to recover the files to a new profile. So that gave me hope because that's what I had clicked (unfortunately, it was right before I saw the cancel button over on the right). That's what I get for being in a hurry I guess.

Anyhow, after 4 days of reading support forums and tons of trial and error, I'm no closer to restoring that profile than when I first started (although I've learned a lot about what does NOT work).

Btw, both my profiles have always been set up as POP3 at Gmail, although if I ever get this current problem sorted out I'll be shopping for a different POP3 provider. But that's another story.

I know how to create a new profile with Profile Manager. And I found the Profiles folders under both Thunderbird folder as well as ThunderbirdOLD folder. Have I been on the right track so far?

In the Thunderbird/Profiles folder, I don't see a folder with the deleted profile name (except the new ones (duds) I've since created ). On the other hand, I don't see the name of the profile that I did NOT delete either, but somehow it seems to be working just fine. Maybe it's the ".default" folder or ".default-release" folder? I've only ever had two profiles and I may have created the non-deleted profile first, so did that one end up being named .default? -shrug- I have no clue.

Anyhow, in the ThunderbirdOLD/Profiles folder, I also see ".default" as well as ".default-release" folders too. But in addition, I'm seeing a ".deletedprofile" named folder. So that's where I originally thought my several dozen email folders with several thousand emails and Address Book etc are hiding. But I've copied all the above mentioned folders into the several new Profiles I've created, on a trial and error basis but so far..... no luck. All I get when I open one is the new set up screen to set up a new pop3 account.... which I can do, but that's just starting from scratch without any of my saved data. I'm running out of ideas.

Where am I going wrong?

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.

Firefox Sync is not working appropriately insofar as, when I check Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop, I cannot see any tabs being synced from the Firefox app on my Android phone, even though both apps are logged into the same Firefox account and syncing open tabs is enabled on both machines.

However, when I check my phone, I can see all the tabs synced from my desktop. So, this seems to suggest that the sync process is working correctly on both desktop and mobile because I can actually see all the tabs that are open on my desktop, but I cannot see any of the tabs that are open my Android.

Everything is checked to sync on both the Windows and the Android Firefoxes.

Has anyone encountered a situation like this before, where sync is working appropriately, but one device seems to be refusing to upload specific data to the sync servers?

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.

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.
