I am having issues with Firefox crashing at various times though out the day. It always starts out fine, but at some point it just stops responding and I have to close the browser and reopen it. This happens at least once a day and it does it on different units (my LG Laptop, Dell Desktops (2 different units-1 at work and 1 at home), Surface Pro 9, my Dell laptop), so I know it is not the unit, it is something in Firefox! My Dell laptop runs Windows 10, all the others run Windows 11. Please look into this and provide a patch. Thank you!

Hi,

Occasionally when downloading files on Firefox, they'll freeze completely (often at the very end.) There is no way to pause or cancel the downloads, except to restart Firefox.

When I attempt to restart Firefox, it closes the browser window. However, when I try to reopen it, I get an error message stating that Firefox is running but not responding. The 'Close Firefox' option does nothing, except make the box pop back up a moment later.

I can't kill the Firefox process in Task Manager or Process Explorer, because it says access is denied. I can't kill it using taskkill in command prompt because it says there is no running instance of the task.

The ONLY thing that seems to help is completely restarting the computer, which is getting frustrating to do several times a day.

I can confirm Firefox is up-to-date. Any tips are appreciated, thank you!

I am getting tired of being told replace this file with this

does it read firefox expert or intermediate on my account? no it does not it reads a person with no knowleage or skills in this field

and you are basically expecting them to figure this out on their own by giving the smallest shread of help by saying "replace the loginsjson with the logins-backupjson"

Yet i have no idea on how to do that.

so you basically caused a blind student who has no idea what there doing

because the F...ing instructors arent giving descriptive detail instruction on how to perform the task

and its actually sad i have to even do this

so for the last time please will someone give detail instruction on how to replace the loginsjson in the profile folder with the logins-backupjson that is on my desktop screen

and its not like i can just search this because iv tried and what do you know its given as much help as you have

I'm getting the above message after installing the latest FireFox update. I've been using the site with FireFox since 2006 and now it won't connect. I tried connecting on another computer with FireFox and it worked just fine. Verified that it was the same version and it is. Tried accessing the same site using Google and once again, it connected just fine. But somehow, since I updated the browser on this computer, it will not connect.

I had the IT rep try it on their computer and it connected. So something has happened with the update I made yesterday. Help, please!

Hello Mozilla,

I hope this message finds you well. I had the pleasure of being part of the Mozilla team approximately three years ago, and I must say, I cherished every moment of it.

I am reaching out to you today with a pressing matter. My current company, Five9, recently submitted an extension that unfortunately got rejected. This extension is crucial for our business operations, and its rejection has put us in a challenging situation.

I understand that reviewing submissions is a meticulous process, but I wanted to inquire if there's any possibility of having our extension reevaluated. Your assistance in this matter would be immensely appreciated.

As a side note, during my time at Mozilla, I had the privilege of collaborating with the operations team, led by Sean Rich.

Thank you for considering our request. Looking forward to your response.

Best regards, Jorge M Spiropulo Five9 Architecture

I encounter this error only on my.nintendo.com. However nobody else I know encounters this (even using Firefox) and I do not encounter it on Edge browser.

When I open the site it stays for a few seconds, then loads an error page. Then this error page reloads itself every few seconds. I tried to include some Inspect tool details. Before a 404 error there are 303 and 302 responses. I live near my friends who do not have this issue (same ISP too) so it's not a regional issue. In the screenshots the four (and two more further down) red GETs below are all "304 Not Modified" status'd

I'm not sure what type of info I can dump from the browser or how, to help diagnose this. I'm on Windows 11 (though I was having this isue on my dual-booted Linux install too), on version 121.0.1 (see screenshot of About Firefox for more?)

Thank you for your time reading my post, please help me report this with more details.

Whenever I start Firefox it loads up on the upper left corner in a minimized version and I have to double click the maximizing button to get everything right. I tried the tip of deleting the .js file in the Profile folder of the browser. I did that 5 times and the problem still occurs. Everything is up to date. What's wrong?

It drives my crazy - because I have to click on each and ervy one.

How can I select the sites which are displayed or can I shut them off all together ?!?

I closed all my tabs and reopened the browser bc I was getting lag on sites like X.com when typing my messages. Immediately after opening Firefox again, my homepage, MSN.com was loaded. I tried to click on the arrow to scroll through the different headline stories and nothing happened. I used Chrome & Opera to load the same page and they work fine. This seems like a Firefox thing. I have no extensions or permissions that deny me the right to click on anything. What is the problem?

Good morning,

I am reaching out as a member of Iowa State University's LTI Integration Team regarding a technical issue we are currently experiencing.

Specifically, we have encountered JSON errors when utilizing various LTI's from Canvas, but the problem is isolated to the Firefox browser only.

I have attached a screenshot that demonstrates the error in question.

Could you kindly assist us in troubleshooting this matter? Any guidance or support you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Goodd day from UK I run firefox esr 115.9.1 and find the the F5 refresh key does NOT refresh the images. The same applies when using the "reload" icon in the menu.

Reading other posts, nothing seems to apply here.

There are NO add-ons at all and everything is cleared on close. The text DOES seem to change.

As a web developer checking updates this is extremely annoying as only hope is keep closing the browser (to clear everything) and restart - the loads new images etc.

I use several versions of Firefox (2, 20, 56) to ensure compatability with olf browsers and it seems to be only those over 100 with this issue.

Does anyone know if this is a "feature" or a"bug" and is there any simple (!) way around the issue?

Thanks

p.s. ALWAYS happens, not intermittently
