I use Mozilla Firefox for work. Part of my work requires I use the GlobalProtect VPN client. When I log on to the VPN, everything appears to be fine. The problem arises when I log out of the VPN client, such as needing to switch to a different VPN.

When I log out of the VPN client, Mozilla slows down massively. I get the following errors when trying to access websites.

PR_END_OF_FILE Timeout

I thought it was a DNS issue, but the change I made previously did not prove to be a reliable fix, and I do not actually know the root cause of what is happening. Firefox returns to normal ONLY after a full computer restart. At this point I am considering switching browsers as, despite Firefox's functionality, it is starting to interfere with my work.

I have used other VPNs, such as Fortigate VPN, and not encountered anything like this.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

Today I installed a clean WIN10 version on my PC, expecting to just log into firefox afterwards and have all the data back within minutes, but I forgot my Firefox password... As I'm currently in another country I also couldn't just log in on any of my other devices to recover the password, so I decided to reset it via the E-Mail... well aparantly changing your password deletes the sync data?? I'm guessing there is no way to recover the data? So I got a relative of mine to start my backup notebook which has not been synched for a few months but some data should've still been there, at least I had thought so... password database there was empty... and instead of synching the firefox landing page from my notebook where all my pinned pages were, it copied the page from the new device and wiped that as well... Any way to revert the sync changes on the notebook?

How to enter my password when initiated Firefox

I got an extension called BTRoblox and after installing it made most icons black and white. I uninstalled it and nothing changed, I tried changing my theme, restarting the browser, going in incognito tabs, and nothing has worked. I can't figure out for the life of me what this extension did to break Firefox.

when i visit sites like home depot, lowe's or southwest airlines the auto populate feature thinks I live in atlanta, but i live in new orleans...how can I correct this

After my Windows 10 laptop being in sleep mode I found my background picture changed and all my Firefox tabs missing (while my bookmarks, add-ons, history etc. saved, and all other apps functioning properly). Recently Closed Windows menu was inactive and using Restore option in Library had no effect (despite availability of recent saves).

I found out that Mozilla folder was just missing in %appdata% (e.g. Profile Folder in about:support leaded to a non-existent directory). No manual changes to Firefox settings/data were made and no new profiles created.

What might be the problem and are there any ways to restore my tabs?

This issue is happening with every newly installed add-on, but not with add-ons installed on or before Aug 3, 2024. The add-ons are installed via addons.mozilla.org. To rule out the possibility that it's happening only with specific add-ons, I also installed one of the random recommendations on that page, Augmented Steam which has 54,248 users, and it happens with that one as well.

I'll click Enable, but the prompt appears every time I restart Firefox.

What I've tried (with a restart after each attempt):

• Clear the startup cache
• Delete extensions.json
• Delete compatibility.ini
• Via about:config deleted extensions.databaseSchema and extensions.getAddons.databaseSchema
• Excluded Add-ons from syncing

I've noticed the following in extensions.json for each of the recent add-ons after restart:

• syncGUID changes to presumably random new value
• active changes from true to false
• userDisabled changes from false to true
• seen changes from true to false

Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt. OmegaSwitch

Hello, I encountered an error when trying to install the extension. I've never encountered anything like this before

Regular download works fine, but when I try to download attachment in outlook.live.com website, it didn't ask me where to store it, but simply places it in my default location, while at the same time opening the attachment even though I only want to download the file.

all my tabs from open session disappeared?!?!?

and no way to restore it; the option disappeared and I never erased it or close any of the tabs manually and it was on sync. Where did they all go ? I can see now the history from my laptop mixed with my mobile under the history tab but the session disappeared?!?!

Firefox use to be EXCEPTIONAL and 2 years ago it star5ed to go downward; please convince me to stay loyal and not switch to brave or opera; this is becoming worst every months.

I did everything I found with ChatGpt and nothing works:(## Recovering Lost Tabs in Firefox Android

I understand that all your open tabs in Firefox Android have disappeared, even though they are synced. Don't worry, there are ways to restore them and reopen that session on your mobile device.

• • Here are the steps to recover your lost tabs:**

• • 1. Check Recently Closed Tabs:**

• Open Firefox on your Android device.
• Tap the three dots menu in the top right corner.
• Select "History" from the menu.
• Choose "Recently Closed Tabs" from the History list.
• This will display a list of recently closed tabs. If you see the session you're looking for, tap on it to restore all the tabs.

• • 2. Use the "Restore Previous Session" Feature:**

• If the "Recently Closed Tabs" option doesn't work, try the "Restore Previous Session" feature.
• Open Firefox on your Android device.
• Tap and hold the "Home" button.
• A pop-up menu will appear. Select "Restore Previous Session".
• This will restore the last browsing session you had open, including all the tabs.

• • 3. Check Your Synced Devices:**

• If the above methods don't work, check if your lost tabs are open on another synced device.
• Open Firefox on your computer or another mobile device where you are logged in with the same Firefox account.
• Look for the lost tabs in the "History" or "Recently Closed Tabs" section.
• If you find them, you can open them on your Android device by syncing your browsing history.

• • 4. Contact Firefox Support:**

• If none of the above methods work, you can contact Firefox support for further assistance.
• You can reach them through their website: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/fix-problems/
• Explain your situation and they will try to help you recover your lost tabs.

• • Additional Tips:**

• To prevent this from happening again, consider enabling the "Open Tabs in Background" setting in Firefox. This will keep your tabs open even if you close the app.
• You can also set Firefox to automatically restore your previous session when you open the app.

• • I hope this helps you recover your lost tabs and reopen your session on your mobile device.**); is there a way im missing ?

Only thing that happened is that I restared my phone earlier?!

Hi. For the past few months I have been unable to play samples from the Audible website in Firefox on my android phone. When I click the word "Sample" Audible opens up a new tab with their Web player and I always get an error message that is just a rectangular box with an exclamation mark inside a triangle on the left side of the box. (Screenshot attached.) There are no words inside the box and the only option is to close the tab. Since there is no actual message I'm not sure what the problem is.

Playing samples used to work fine when you could play them within their web page before Audible changed its system. I seem to be able to play samples on Audible's Web player in Chrome, but would prefer to keep Firefox as my default browser. I have tried deleting all history, cookies and cache; closing and reopening Firefox; turning phone off and starting again after an hour. I've also tried enabling autoplay, but that made no difference. I was thinking that the issue may be with my other settings within Firefox, but I can't tell. Any help you can provide would be great. Thank you!

This feature has suddenly appeared and I absolutely detest it! I don't need it, don't like it, don't want it! I have searched everywhere on how to disable it. PLEASE tell me there is an option to do that.

Hello, Today I tried to upload some images to a seller on eBay, and consistently got the popup pictured below. I've never seen, heard of or had this issue before and searching for it comes up with nothing useful.

Any ideas? Using Firefox 115.13.0esr (64-bit)

Thanks
