After a recent automatic update my old problem with Firefox Quantum came back. Every time I open Firefox browser I get multiple 4-6 firefox.exe running in the background processes. When I go into details and try to end process tree it crashes my browser. When I open Firefox it starts all over again. I have gone into about:preferences and
De-select ‘Use recommended performance settings’ Set Content process limit value to ‘1’ from its default value
I have also gone into about:config and switched browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false. Still have the same problem.

Hey there,
today i used my browser completely normal, everything worked just fine. After i started doing my Windows Updates though and also updated my Anti Virus Software, Mozilla doesn't start anymore, I cant end the task/process either, not even via system32 cmd command (taskkill /IM firefox.exe /t /f) because it tells me that I don't have the necessary access to do that.
I need to fully restart my Computer to kill the process. When I start it in safe mode via windows+r run command (firefox -safe-mode) it started up once, and now it doesnt do that either.
I really don't know what exactly caused this and it started skyrocketing my blood pressure after I reinstalled it 4 times now and it still didn't working.
Firefox will not load, doing a clean install of Firefox did not fix the problem. Doing a clean install with a fresh profile did not fix the problem either.

I have been having problems with firefox lately. Every time I try to run the program it automatically closes without giving an error message. I am running Windows 10 and this happens in safe mode as well. I have tried doing a clean install of firefox - that did not fix the problem. I tried deleting my profile after uninstalling then doing a fresh install, this did not fix the problem either. I ran a virus scan and did not detect any malware. I don't know what else to try.

Up until you pushed ver 71 Firefox on me, I had ZERO problems with Google Voice page loading. Now only the banner on the page load with my acct name and icon and the rest of the page is BLANK except for the never ending spinning circle in the middle .... are you taking lessons in buggyness from CrApple OS??? My Voice account open just fine and fast on Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, and Edge Beta!!! Maybe you (Mozilla) should switch to the Chrome engine too, you are too buggy 90% of the time!

Despite incessant FF versions/updates and obvious complaints and demands from FF users, FF Quantum fails to provide FF users with simple settings for changing font/font style/font size of FF tabs/bookmarks/toolbars! Prior to Quantum FF57, the easy to use add-on Theme Font & Size Changer worked but yet despite FF user complaints, no Quantum version (now FF62!!!!!!!) integrates the accessibility features and functionality of such add-on. We need FF tabs in arial black font, e.g.! Inexcusable! Pisses us off! Time to switch browsers!

I downloaded firefox 49.0.2 due to some programs i have to run not working on the updated version. (changing laptops, i downloaded on another laptop 6-12 months ago without the issue) unable to add bookmarks, ran through all the troubleshooting ideas & none seemed to work. tried everything i could think of but nothing seems to work, uninstalling & reinstalling, restarting firefox, restarting comp, running in safe mode to rule out add ons etc
Does anyone have any suggestions as its rather annoying without bookmarks?
Thanks

Within the last 1-2 weeks some fonts in emails have been displaying pixelated, these are websites I use every day and they were perfect resolution before.
I have not changed any settings in firefox. I have cleared cache and done fresh reinstall of firefox and the issue persists. I have also been through trouble shooting with individual website supports and they cannot resolve the problem. The issue seems to be with firefox as these display ok on Chrome. I have made sure my zoom is 100% and to remove formatting from the emails.
I am not sure what else to try or what settings to check as I haven't personally changed settings myself. Maybe something new in recent updates?
Thanks

When I open Firefox it flickers open and you can partially see some of the browser, once loaded it completely disappears.But is still the in-focus window, I can see the cursor flashing in the screen that would normally be on the default FireFox search bar. Even though I cannot see it, I still have an icon in the task tray, If I press F11 to go full screen , the browser opens and is visible and functional. If i leave full screen after that the firefox becomes a low res white screen. See attached images.
- I have tried a full uninstall and deleting program files folder and then re-installing - I have uninstalled and installed Firefox 63 Beta - I have deleted and recreated a new profile - I have renamed the xulstore.json file in the profile and a new one created - I have adjusted the FireFox performance settings to no hardware acceleration - I have tried in private browsing - I have tried opening FireFox in safe mode - same behavior - I have removed and disabled any and all plugins.
Why did Firefox suddenly stopp launching? (Mac)

System: MacBook Pro (Retina early 2015) @2,7GHz i5 OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Today after trying to open a random website out of my Mail-App, Firefox did't open. Now, when launching the Firefox-icon in the dock, it does the little jumping-animation, but after that nothing happens. No error-message either.
Before that, Firefox functioned perfectly. I can't remember installing any updates or changing any preferences today.
I tried reinstalling Firefox (clean reinstall) as described in several other posts. Also tried the suggestions on the Mozilla Support-Page ("Firefox won't start - find solutions"). Opening Firefox in Safe Mode or by holding the option-key also didn't work.
Would really appreciate your help, thanks.
Edit: When moving and launching Firefox from another drive (SD-Card or initial "virtual" Firefox-drive) it somehow workes!

I thought this might be a Windows issue, but it appears more likely to be a Firefox problem...... Almost every time Firefox updates itself on one of my several PCs (a Dell), all of my saved logins are removed.
After some checking, I found that the actual logins file had been changed from "logins.json" to "logins.json.corrupt".
Why Firefox is doing this is anybodies guess, but it may have something to do with the actual passwords themselves containing characters that it doesn't like.......
Easy resolution - find the "corrupt" file and rename it!
Using Windows Explorer, you will need to make hidden files visible, then go to (User)>Appdata>Roaming>Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles>(71r822oe.*********), then scrol down to "logins.json.corrupt" - select, rename, "logins.json", agree to the change warning, and exit. All now works as before.

Please, Mozilla - can you try and stop this happening in the first place ?

Though YouTube videos play well, every 10-30 seconds or so, there's a frame or two where it goes back a quarter to half of a second. I've tried using the h246ify plugin addon, but it changed nothing. I see problems with video and audio playback are quite common in Firefox, but I haven't seen too many in Quantum (especially something so little as a random stutter). Any help is greatly appreciated, though it's not a very game-breaking problem (I've had this issue since Quantum came out and I installed Windows).

Sometimes stopping and then immediately restarting what I'm trying to download in Firefox three or four times gets Firefox to download the file to my OneDrive. But in this case, it doesn't. I want to overwrite the old Vivaldi 2.0 installer file in my OneDrive programs folder with the new Vivaldi 2.1 installer file (.EXE) in my OneDrive "Programs" folder. I'm glad in addition to Firefox reaching version 63.0 Stable two days ago, Vivaldi has reached version 2.1 today. Firefox 63 Stable has many bugs that are easy to notice and need fixing sooner rather than later in my experiences and opinion.

Since the last couple of days, I see that Firefox holds a lock for places.db for the whole time while Firefox is open. The problem manifests itself when I use alfred workflow to do a search for a firefox bookmark by a keyword. I see that the workflow written in Python crashes with
`sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked`
When I close Firefox, the script is working fine. When I open it again - the script is not operational again. Tried safe mode - the same result.
This was working fine for years and the symptom points that it was changed recently and now Firefox holds a lock during the whole time it is open. I guess previously the database lock was acquired per bookmark write transaction.

Lately, every morning when I open my laptop ( I only use blank screen) Firefox is already open to the http://kbb.com website. This is on a Windows 10 laptop. I cannot find anywhere in Firefox settings that is telling this site to start up nor any reason for Firefox to even be open. I definitely shut Firefox down when I'm finished browsing. There are some 'Recent Highlights" and one of them is showing that page, but I am unable to remove them.

i have many crashes of firefox tabs and the whole browser lately. The same happen in my chrome browser. The crash happens while watching a video or while surfing the internet. All of the time i do nothing active on a website or a video an the tab or browser crashes. I checked my system for new drivers and installed it. Perhaps it is something with my anti virus programm (avast)?

I was looking for support after experiencing big problems after the last firefoxupdate (windows 10 crashing). Found this website firefoxsupport.org and they seem legit. After chatting with them via their online chatbox (no red flags), i gave them permission to call me, And the guy seemed very knowledgeable and professional (still no red flags). So i gave him permission for remote access. He claimed i was infected with some kind of trojan, and was asking for money to fix it, and also there was timepressure. Those were red flags for me so i hung up and broke the connection. But now i my firewall is down and internetconnection gone.
