Windows 11 home computer with Mozilla Firefox version 122.0 from 1/23/2024 cannot be removed even in safe mode. When attempting to remove there are no errors, it just fails to go to next step when select uninstall. This version will result in a pop-up error of 'Couldn't load XPCOM.' A later version of Firefox worked with no issues. When the user accidently selects older version or at random times without user interaction the pop-up error appears.

Have not attempted to edit the registry.

Suggestions for steps to remove so a current version of Firefox can be installed would be appreciated

Thank you

Win 10 OS

Whenever a new version of Firefox is installed the number inside the parenthesis increments by one.

I was wondering why this number is there in the first place.

An example would be when you go to a shortcut for firefox, what you see is something like Firefox (x), x being a number. In my case it is 60. Firefox(60).lnk and if I try deleting it, I am then asked if I want to make it Firefox (61).lnk

I have noticed that automatic translate feature translates hidden form values as you can see in first image (value="Prawziva prawda").

In Chrome automatic translate does not translate hidden values, as you can see in second image (value="true").

Is this by design or is it some kind of bug?

Hi, I'm running with the latest nightly updates, but I had a problem with my bookmarks. I was getting hundreds of copies of some bookmarks, I ended up having to sign out of sync to allow me to clear them. I now cannot use nightly, every time I try to do anything, like open a new tab, or try to check if my bookmarks have been imported from another browser, which so far they have not, nor resynced from another PC, nightly freezes, and I have to close it. I had to manually reinstall my extensions as they did not resync either. Before doing that, I refreshed nightly, but that didn't seem to have any effect. I still have no bookmarks and a very hesitant browser.

   I'm just about to check my other PC running Win 11 and nightly, hopefully that will behave.

When I connect to my schools internet on my laptop, Lenovo, Thinkpad L13, Yoga Gen 3, firefox just won't load a single website it justs stays for forever and never loads. I'm in Queensland, Australia. Can anyone help?

Within the past week, when I access my AOL mail inbox, there has been a message asking if I want to make Firefox the default for AOL mail. See attached screen shots. Where did this come from? Is it something that FF did, or AOL mail, or an extension, or W11? FF is my default browser. Can I disable the message or what else should I do? So far the only thing I've done is to "say later" I look forward to anyone's comments. Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to enable JavaScript so I can print a document that requires it. But I can't find the the 'Options' and the 'Content' tab under Firefox Menu. Thanks.

When i search something on Google it shows the results based on my IP address. Towards the bottom of the search results at the bottom of the webpage the location of the IP address mentions the city I live in.

I frequently share my screen and don't want to share that information with others. How can I remove that information from appearing when I search for something on Google?

I just installed the new Firefox version (131.0.2) and the installation gave me a new desktop lnk (the old one is still on the desktop). The new link (to an .exe file in "C:...\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\browser") starts the new version of Firefox in its newborn virgin state, i.e., EVERYTHING from my previous version is missing.

The old link (which points to an identical .exe file in a completely different directory "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser" with same date stamp as the .exe file mentioned above) when executed results in an error message: Platform version '131.0' is not compatible with

                                                                                              minVersion >= 131.0.2
                                                                                              maxVersion <= 131.0.2

NOTE: The files in each of these two directories appears to be identical. I really want my old profile back.

HELP!

I'm on Windows 11 and when I type in Discord with Firefox the text suggestions stop working after two words. It works perfectly everywhere else including the Discord app as well as Discord in any other browser.

First of all, there's this new thing called AI. Maybe you've heard about it when you meet a competitor at a party, etc. If you ever choose to use it (a pretty big "if"), you might install it in your forums. Nah, that ain't likely. But here's the question: How can I get FF to quit closing pages (photos, music, Word docs) when I want to save them? One of the problems is your FAQs are programmed to read CRASH, when they "see" CLOSING PAGES. I know, FAQs are there to make Mozilla more $$$$. They have nothing to do with customer service.

I use Internet Bill Pay through my bank, and it has always worked correctly with Firefox. I have enhanced tracking protection turned off for the site secureinternetbank.com and I have cookies authorized in my exceptions list. Today I got this message:

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms:

   Cross-site tracking

Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browser once you have adjusted these settings."

Bank says it hasn't changed anything, and no tweaks I tried on privacy settings fixed it. I believe it's an issue with the new version. Can you tell me how to fix it or let me know when Firefox will fix it? The site works fine in Microsoft Edge, but I'd like to avoid using Edge.

Thanks.

I recently updated FF to 128.3.0 ESR and have found that FF no longer appends the suffix to the url I tupe in the url bar. For instance, to go to yahoo.com all I had to do was type yahoo in the url bar and hit enter and FF would automatically add the .com and navigate to the site. This function has ceased to work since the latest update. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
