My Firefox Browser keeps "crashing" or freezing up. My computer stops working and the apps don't work. Nothing responds. when I restart it only takes a minute or 2 till it happens again. this began slowly 2-3 weeks ago but now it is daily. Every time I turn on my computer.

For the 1st time, today I got a message box titled Mozilla Crash Reporter: Firefox had a problem and crashed. Tell Mozilla so they can fix it. I did run a McAfee computer scan but this didn't help. I'm really surprised I was able to complete and send you this message.

TY,

I've lost a previous session because firefox updated. This happens all the time. I've lost so much time and work due to restore previous session button being grayed out. Is there a way to go back? Or do I have to try to find all of the tabs one by one in history? Is there any other way? I never get my work back like that. It's so frustrating. I'm going completely crazy from this. Any help would be very appreciated.

I need to go back two sessions. Is there any way to access that?

I also lose everything every time I restart. If I'm not careful any immediately restore previous session, I lose it. Is there any way to fix this issue? To make firefox remember and restart in the previous session instead of starting a new one and deleting the previous one?

now unable to open www.talktalk.co.uk/mail since TalkTalk updated their website. Get a spinning circle but no connection. TalkTalk customer service do not accept liability. The website is OK with Microsoft edge.

I have turned off all extensions, allowed all permissions on the page, changed the Privacy to Standard, turned off enhanced protection, but I still cannot get the popup to show on this page (need login to see actual page)

I cannot find anything else which can be blocking it, but something is.

If I load the page in Edge, it works fine.

I have started to have this problem where if I have opened Chrome Browser and have FireFox open at the same time FireFox becomes unresponsive and just sits there 'loading' the pages of whatever site I am trying to view. This only happens when I open Chrome. FireFox hasn't become unresponsive like the system resources are being used up and like it has frozen but it is just all of the tabs I want to view have the dot flipping back and forth trying to load the websites. My only way to fix this is to reboot my PC and open FireFox but not open Chrome at all and then FireFox works fine and loads everything quickly as expected but as soon as I open Chrome (which works fine even if FireFox is open) this issue starts. It doesn't fix it is I completed force close Chrome either and it will only work again if I reboot the PC. This has only just started happening over the past few days though so I am wondering if some sort of updat has occurred which has broken things as previously I could use both broswers no problem.

Firefox will NOT LET ME assign a downloads folder, and doesn't ever ask where to save (though that IS checked). There is NOTHING the support base or community I can find addressing this. It tells you to check "ask" and or to assign a downloads folder. Well, I Have checked "ask" and it doesn't ask. And it will not let me select a downloads folder.

And all downloads "fail." So I cannot use Firefox io download anything.

This is a bug. The settings do not work.

I have updated to latest version, this has been the case thru multiple versions. I am using a M1 Macbook pro with Monterey OS.

i searched for how to bookmark an entire window. google gave me: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/94180 as well as https://support.mozilla.org/eu/questions/1144799 there are probaby many others.

1. both are archived. 2. both are obsolete. Unless I am doing something wrong, in the BOOKMARKS menu there no longer exists "BOOKMARK ALL TABS"

So, why, when an article is archived is it not marked as to what versions of FF it applies? another way to think of this: Why archive a question that WILL ALWAYS BE A RELEVANT QUESTION?

and what is worse: why does searching for "bookmark all tabs" come up empty searching FF help?

Another way: Stop changing FF so much !!!! It is a pain the you-know-what.

And, why does searching for "BOOKMARK ALL TABS" in FF doc come up empty? No wonder the same questions are asked over and over again.

Websites and their pages slow way down when I have Malwarebytes Browser Guard turned on. This only started a couple of months ago, I had no problems before then. Could this be an issue with the Malwarebytes browser guard or a Firefox update? Thanks for any help you can be, Larry

Dear Support,

Congratulations on implementing the most annoying feature I've ever seen in Firefox to date!

I've followed the suggested solution I found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1425496

However, after rebooting my machine today, it appears the settings have been reverted and the stupid popup dialog is back.

I'm running Firefox in full privacy mode in case that matters.

I need a _PERMANENT_ way to disable the new translation function.

Best Regards, Michael

I don't use google as my default search and yet whenever i start typing g or go or goo, etc. the search option automatically becomes a google search. I don't even have google as a search engine option in my settings. how do i get that to stop doing that.

Opened Firefox 118.0.1 and realized something looked 'off'. Turns out my Menu Bar has sprouted icons . . . as if I suddenly forgot how to read and someone felt I needed cute little pictures!

Similarly, if I right-click on a webpage, the menu which opens (Save Page, Save Page to Pocket, Send Page to Device, etc.) now all have icons, also. Moreover, these don't play nice because they obscure the first couple of letters in each menu selection. Strange!

I'd appreciate insight on how to remove these . . and many thanks in advance!

three weeks ago the Babbel playback gave me all shortened responses. Like I would hear "respon" instead of response. I switched over to Microsoft Edge. After first bad response all subsequent responses were normal--fully sounded.

I'm not sure that I can get any help with my problem but I need to try. Always after a format of my PC when I reinstall new windows and log in to my Mozilla account my saved tabs come back with my account. This time it didn't happen. Can I get any data restoration or something like that? I formatted my PC on November 21. Can I somehow get them back from one day before?

Firefox cannot seem to remember/reopen my exact tabs/pages from yesterdays session when starting up my computer daily after previous nites shutdown. (I also use Chrome browser on a 2nd monitor and it restarts, w/o exception, with same tabs/pages EXACTLY as it was when shut down the nite before.)

Directv streaming has been operational since I signed up a few weeks ago until today using FireFox browser except today. After signing into Directv , the channels display correctly but will not open for viewing. Need guidance on the fix.

For the past few days, the YouTube website has behaving unusually in Firefox. The volume and play/pause controls don't work. The picture in picture mode does not work. And most importantly, the search bar is broken. Whenever I type something and click the search button or press enter, the value entered disappears and I have to type it all again, only that this process goes on for infinite number of times and so, I can't even search for anything on YouTube.
