Hi folks,

I've asked this same question of Microsoft, as I cannot tell if this is a quirk in Firefox 100.0.2, or in Windows 10 Home, or something to do with what they put in the water here (besides flouride)...

Over the last few days I've had to reinstall Office on this Windows 10 Home system, and had a Firefox update to 100.0.2 as well. Everything working fine up through last night -- URL shortcuts on the desktop would open Firefox (default browser) just fine.

Shut down. Cold boot this morning. Manually open Firefox as usual. Double-click on desktop URL shortcuts (or right-click, Open) gets a real quick hourglass and then nothing. No error, no browser tab.

So I checked: default browser still set to Firefox; .URL filetype still set to "Internet Browser."

I toggled the default browser to Edge, and the links work just fine. Same links. No changes to them.

Toggle it back to the much more privacy-protecting Firefox and... they won't work.

This seems spooky.

Note that the desktop icons for these shortcuts correctly show either the Firefox icon, or the logo/icon for the web page itself (ie, Google Maps). And the toggle of default browser did NOT update the icons.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Will the latest update now being nagged about delete logins for web sites and apps Firefox has done with the last few updates? Second, why doesn't Firefox disclose WHY an update is needed first (so a user can make his or her own mind up)? These questions beg another important one: if Firefox believes all the constant updates are so important, first, why don't they get them all done at once and quit piecemealing them out? Dishing them out in smaller updates often could easily leave the impression that someone doesn't know what he's doing ... and I'd like not to believe that about Firefox.

Thank you.

Dear Community, (developers)

A question for concentration. For a long time now I have lacked, and I am sure I'm not alone, one important function. It is to support the mode (browser version) with just 2 tabs.

You can develop products based on marketing analysis or you can be humanly and make good design for people.

Be more human, browser and product developers. You need to help users today. Be one of the first to provide a reasonable palette of solutions to maintain focus. This is the future.

Either Mozilla will do it, or someone else will.

Respectfully to Mozilla, your faithful, patiently waiting for real solutions user.

PS. Needs official solutions that will be under the control of all the private settings, good graphics and that I will trust. No one wants little-known apps from the store.

Whenever I get this message; I just go to Chrome and it works fine.

I have several issues when using Western journal that work fine if I use Chrome browser. Like answering question of the day, I have to reload the page to see the results. Chrome updates right after I select answer. About ready to switch back to Chrome and I Really don't want too!

I have a user who is using an imac late 2012. When the user installs firefox release version 100. Firefox will open but will not go to any websites. All other web browsers work just fine but for some reason Firefox will not sync and will not open websites.

The last Firefox update made my website not work properly. I have dropdown menus that are no longer clickable or responsive to hovering on Firefox after the last update. Please check Gardenerd.com. It still works fine on Chrome, so I know it's not my website. It's Firefox. Please put it back so people can access my site content like before.

in startpage of my ms account all ms apps can be opened...........EXCEPT the app Onedrive. What to do to make this work?????

using MS Edge all is doing well!!

thanks in advance

When I try to access a few common sites, such as Lowes.com and Totalwine.com, I get the following message:

An Error has occured We apologize for the inconvenience, but the requested url is invalid. It may be a result of using special characters that are not accepted at this time. Thank you for your patience.

If I really need to access the site I can open Google Chrome and they will open with no problem.

How do I fix this issue? BTW Firefox just loaded the latest update and the problem still exists.

Thx, Bill

Hello.

Using FF 100.0 on Win 10. When I click a link to something that I don't want Firefox to open, like PDFs, I get the "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog. If I select "Open with," as I usually do, the file opens in my selected program, but still downloads to my desktop. Some filetypes just open, I don't get that dialog. Those download to my desktop as well.

I've not noticed this behavior before. Maybe I inadvertantly changed a setting. Can someone tell me how to stop this from happening?

Thank you.

I have my own intranet page which is set as my main page in Firefox. How can I open a network folder in Windows Explorer with Firefox? I don't want to view the folder through Firefox.

I refreshed Firefox and all my passwords disapeared even though it stated they would be saved. I followed online instructions and copied and pasted the old data into the new profile. Although I can see the old login data is there nothing shows up in the saved passwords section in settings. HELP! all my passwords are badly required as I have no other record.

Why is it Chrome you could have three extensions and still have high speed performance of chrome when loading, but when you have three extensions on firefox it loads slow when opening up the browser?

Lately, there are times when I try to use Google Products like Maps and nothing happens. I'll type a key word to do a search or type google maps in the Firefox search bar and there is no response. It's not a Google issue as the products will work if I switch browsers. It doesn't happen all the time but has been happening more frequently lately. When it does, I always check to make sure Firefox is up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, I love Firefox and have been using this browser over Chrome for years. However, for quite some time I have had problems with my search engine settings. My default is set on google but it always go back to yahoo search which is not even listed as options. Do I have to purchase something to get whatever it is doing this?

I installed an extension from a website(not from addons.mozilla.org) and found it a bit suspicious so after around using it for 1 minute immediately removed it... So will an extension be able to access root/admin permissions if it had some malicious script executed(I am using debian) or can extension access system files,modify,delete or install/download anything without the users' permission?

Thanks in advance AVC

Hey there, I'm having trouble with Firefox. Something inside Firefox is eating up my RAM and CPU. Usually I recognize the problem happening because my laptop fans ramp up. The problem occurs on my laptop as well on my desktop (both on latest stable Firefox[Build ID: 20220513165813] and Windows 11). The workaround is to kill the Firefox subprocess which is using most of the CPU and RAM. Then everything is back to normal for some time, until Firefox starts messing with me again.

While trying to pinpoint the problem I'm stuck. I can't find a culprit other than the fact it has something to do with Firefox. Clean reinstalling did not help. The Firefox Task Manager doesn't know anything about huge amounts of RAM being taken. I searched for solutions on the net and the about:memory indicates the problem is some IPC related stuff:

 {
  "process": "Main Process (pid 12648)",
  "path": "queued-ipc-messages/content-parent(Browser, pid=9612, open channel, 0x22e4b33fc30, refcnt=38)",
  "kind": 2,
  "units": 1,
  "amount": 0,
  "description": "The number of unset IPC messages held in this ContentParent's channel.  A large value here might indicate that we're leaking messages.  Similarly, a ContentParent object for a process that's no longer running could indicate that we're leaking ContentParents."
 }

The bug reporting guidelines(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html) are encouraging me to attach steps to reproduce and try the steps listed on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resources . But I've exhausted the steps there (Except for upgrading the PC / RAM).

Especially on the go this Firefox-RAM-Party takes quite some battery and right now while writing this Firefox has >100GB virtual RAM reserved for some IPC messages, I personally think this is too much. So I'd like to file a report, but without steps to reproduce I'm afraid the developers are going to say 'well, that's something we are not able to diagnose', because I am unable to explain how to reproduce it. It just happens from time to time.

The anonymized about:memory report: https://bin.disroot.org/?2ba01ef78154cce4#8PLVqLTd9qgaRn2QVX2P17hkbHQyrTDuVAwoykj2cBxg

I left Firefox running like this for about half an hour and at 138GB reserved RAM Windows slaughtered my Firefox. The resulting crash report: https://bin.disroot.org/?0bc57492585dde4b#5YtbWgXcbZSkWYmg2CGkVn9iiipYwfYbxUfCLhmMJh7d

Do you have a clue where I might find out who sends those IPC messages, and therefore who is responsible for this?

Hi,

I had a format on my computer and then I tried to log into Firefox but forgot my password, so I changed it. Now I cannot recover any of my bookmarks. Is there any way to have them back?

Thank you!
