I've had this problem for a while and it's kept me from actually using the program. At any given time when I try to run the application, it never lasts for more than a couple seconds before it suddenly stops with no warning. Whenever I get these crashes, the Crash Reporter never opens. Because of this issue I can't open it in troubleshooting mode. At this point I have tried fully resetting my PC twice, uninstalling McAfee, had multiple malware scans, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself multiple times. I'm really not all that good at operating computers, I just kind of know how to navigate files. I don't know what else to do at this point.

every time whe I download a rar file it is opened with winrar even the setting for the rar file extension is set to save and not open the file. Also some about:config settings I learned from some forums on the web do not help. I think this missbehaviour took place in the past after updating FF but I cannot remember which update it was. How can I configure FF to not open downloaded rar files with winrar (I want FF only to save the file)?

Dear Firefox

                                                      SEASONAL GREETINGS

Just about a week ago after my last Firefox upgrade, the browser started weirdly. The style, characters, boxes and bands were abnormally changing sizes. I tried using Firefox settings: Zoom all to no avail. I went into System display and did advanced scaling and it was of no help. I further went on System Restore and Resetting my computer and it was all the same.

I removed all add-ons, cleared both Firefox and the Systems Caches and carried malware clean up of my computer. I also carried out troubleshoot and the computer informed me there was no malware in the system using Windows Defender.

After carrying out any the above when I restart the computer all the values change to their abnormal values with very large Firefox Interface, the bands and spaces including the URL address bar appear abnormally large. When I use the mouse, sections of the browser moves all across the page uncontrollably. This happened for over a week. Hence I could not access my AOL email.

Though risky as you advised against, I had to download a lower version : 82.0.3 which appears to steadier and then managed to access my email and other apps, like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter(X), etc.

Within this period I had the same problem with my second preferred browser - Yandex. I contacted their Support Team and explained to them what was happening. They asked me to send screen short the problem. I took the screenshot and found out that in the Interface at the top the size was shown to to be 66%, but yet the band spaces and characters were abnormally large.

They wrote back thanking me with the advice to open browser://flags in their Yandex browser, and there disable "Enable 125% scaling factor" option by selecting "Disable". When I carried out their instruction, just like magic, the Yandex browser returned to normality.

Firefox, do you have such a function so as to advice me? You probably would have to get your developers into this matter. My honest opinion is that Firefox is rushing out hastily with upgrades. Hence the problems. On the Internet there are many complaints about the instability of Firefox.

Thanks in advance in hearing me out.

I know that Tor has this thing for fingerprinting and I also want to know If i can turn it on for Firefox because I like how it looks. Is there a way I could turn it on? I heard it's called fingerprinting letterboxing or something.

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?

Windows 10 Pro v 22H2 Firefox 121.0.1 (64-bit)

I have tried preventing Firefox from autostarting with Windows start up by examining these potential program starting locations:

Firefox-Settings-General: "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up": Option not available about:config - toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart - set to "false" No listing for Mozilla or Firefox in Windows 10 "Startup Apps" settings page No listing for Mozilla or Firefox in Windows 10 msconfig.exe/System Configuration-Startup No listing for Firefox in Windows 10 Task Scheduler No Firefox program in Windows 10 - %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder All Firefox extensions (2) are disabled

Where else should I be looking? Thank you

Whatever you did to Friefox, you broke the ability for me to have it keep a set of urls open at start up. You disabled a very useful feature.

That is how you product worked until this week. Now, it sucks. And why does the header say that my options are controlled by my organization ? This is my private computer, belongs to me, not any organization !
