From time to time, sometimes after Firefox updates, I get unintelligible characters on tabs, search bar on Firefox. It gets more frustrating because the issue extends to the Settings menu, so applying the fixes I see on the web is definitely not easy.

I am on macOS, a newer chip and below is what I tried.

Restarting Firefox Checking the library for duplicate font installations. Disabling the extensions Starting Firefox on troubleshoot mode Uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox Uncheck Use recommended performance settings (blindfolded by using the search panel under Firefox Settings) Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available (blindfolded by using the search panel under Firefox Settings)

My spell check generally doesn't work, but occasionally comes back to life, I have tried the about config, and change value to 2, I have tried uploading dictionary, and making sure check as I type is ticked, but the setting on config seems to keep reverting to 1, and I'm sure if I have successfully uploaded a dictionary, I clicked on language pack, Ironically while I'm typing this, my spell check is actively involved.

Hello! Since the latest update to Firefox (153, I believe) my Firefox has not worked. It starts up perfectly fine, but quickly freezes, becomes non-responsive, and needs to be closed. No matter how many times I attempt to open it, the same thing occurs. There’s been been occasions where it hasn’t frozen immediately so I have been able to turn off hardware acceleration as well as remove my theme and disable all my add-ons/extensions, but this has done nothing. Creating a new profile does not help, nor does trying Safe Mode: the same thing happens no matter what. I tried to reinstall the update, but this also did nothing. I haven’t yet tried to uninstall & reinstall or do a Firefox refresh as those are my last resorts and I won’t do them unless I’m sure they’ll make a difference. I haven’t downloaded any new extensions recently, and this only started happening after the most recent update. I’m not sure what else I can try at this point, and am very frustrated.

Is Firefox having an issue with site password logins?

I have various sites that won't accept site login credentials but work on other browsers and Firefox is running very slow. If I completely shut down and restart my computer, the logins will work for a few minutes but then stop working again. I've completely uninstalled Firefox several times, deleted my profile and created a new profile. Ran Firefox in troubleshooting mode with extensions turned off. None of these have had any effect. I recently saw a post that this might be a Firefox issue with version 154.00. I'm currently running version 154.01. Is this actually a Firefox issue or do I need to continue to look further into my computer and router for the problem?

I have a MBP running OS Sierra (10.12.6).

I've exported all my bookmarks & Passwords ready to import them later.

I've downloaded the extended 115.40 version of Firefox. I've deleted the 'old' versin of Firefox and opened the esr and I see the bookmarks are still there... so what did I do wrong?

I'm still getting the 'This browser version is no longer supported' Error

The Firefox built-in VPN option appeared for me about a week ago, maybe two; I don’t know whether it only just reached me in the rollout, or whether Firefox highlighted it because of the “more bandwidth” promotion. Either way, I activated it. But then, three days ago, I noticed that my browsing was no longer going through a VPN, and that the VPN settings had all disappeared from Firefox.

I’m in Australia. I’m signed into my Firefox account. I’ve tried signing out and back in; restarting this device; and doing as many steps from the Support article “Unable to find the built-in VPN in Firefox” as I could, given that it gives instructions for desktop Firefox, not Android. In particular, I removed one study—not the one named in the article, but a different one with “holdback” in the name (something like “long term holdback H1”).

I get the following error message when trying to access Microsoft Outlook.

Something went wrong server Error(/): GetSections returned no conversation history

I've already 1) restarted the computer, 2) cleared my cookies and cache, 3) re-started firefox in troubleshoot mode, 4) reinstalled firefox... none of those fixed the problem.
