Firefox Community Forum

My very favorite browser will not open when I click the FF icon. I did another download and it will not open, as well. What can you tell me about this issue and how to fix it? An avid user for many years.

I play a video game and it has a /wiki <thing> chat command that is supposed to open my browser tab to a search result of <thing> on that games wiki website. Firefox has stopped doing this. I can not find, or figure out, what settings to change to allow this to work.

I have been trying changing cookie settings and Firefox will have a pop about it already running, but not responding. I click cancel because Firefox seems to be working fine other wise.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do?

I am subscribed to a mailing list from Wordsmith.org, and I get an email with a different word each day. See today's example below:

iteroparous

PRONUNCIATION: (IT-uh-ro-PAR-uhs)

MEANING: adjective: Reproducing multiple times in one’s lifetime.

The email has a link to an mp3 audio file with a voice recording of the proper pronunciation. Today's word: https://wordsmith.org/words/iteroparous.mp3

The file omits the first part and says "____perous". It is not just this one instance, it is all the time, every day. Chrome also has the same fault, but Microsoft's Edge plays the mp3 completely, as it should.

Hello, all. My first post here. My problem is that: When I'm done using Firefox and close the app, several copies remain and need to be closed separately. It's a minor annoyance, but I'd like to fix it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Since the last update its a mess. My advisors are telling me its loading slow I cannot connect with them in their chat............Chrome is fine

Can someone figure this out?

Thanks

you have mager problems with with your fire fox system i have trouble with video links to chat but i don't have any problems using google chrome but it does not have the memory back like your site does i think it might be to do with your software updates i cant find any other logical reason for this problem

First of all, if you really want to help people, then offer phone or at least chat support -- not bots!

Second, I just uninstalled Firefox for the second time because of problems with connectivity and installing bookmarks

The first time was a problem with the bookmarks and again I had a problem, not with installing them but installing too many -- each imported bookmark installed seven times!

Also, I was having problems loading pages.

You really think people want to spend days rummaging through FAQs to find an answer? You need to provide some good support if you want to survive.

Although I have successfully logged in many times, I get an error message today: An error occurred during a connection to b2clogin.firstenergycorp.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

I'm trying to clear my browsing history and cache memory. How do I make sure I have removed everything? I have removed the temporary cached files and website and download history. I have had problems accessing parts of a site of for a few days and they recommended I delete the cache memory. I can access the site itself but get a 404 error code for certain pages. I would like to know if there is anything more I can do before I contact the site owner again.

FireFox version 140.0.2. is not good either! The video upload to Youtube will not start either! Removing cookies did not solve the problem either. This phenomenon has happened before, starting with version 131.0, which was eventually fixed later. (Win10 64 bit)

For some reason text rendered in canvases (used by Minecraft hostings to display console) is distorted. I'm not getting this behavior in other browsers (including Zen – Firefox fork). The issue persists in both stable and nightly versions, with and without hardware acceleration, in safe mode too. Any clues?

To protect your security, eazypay.icicibank.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

Since the last Firefox update I cannot access sites such as Chaturbate or Myfreecams anymore with error message :

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at chaturbate.com."

There seems to be a DNS issue. I tried everything I found online such as desactivate DNS over HTTPS and others but I just cannot access these. Firefox works for "normal" sites and all other browsers (Edge, Oasis, Brave, etc) work fine now but I had to change the DNS after their last update (everyone created a problem from last week, so strange).

Another very strange thing is when I use a VPN, even with my country to access from, it is working !!!

What can be the issue and how to solve it ? Thanks

When using any Microsoft 365 product on the browser I keep getting a prompt to "Please sign in" although I am already signed in. I can click the Sign in button and a about:blank page pops up for a split second. Then within a half hour or so, it will pop up again. I deleted my cookies but the problem still persists. Does not happen on other browsers.

Mozilla Firefox 115.25.0 (x64 en-US) won’t close since my previous version was updated on 6/29/25. I have tried closing it in my Win7pro Task Manager on several occasions, and had even tried to uninstall and then reinstall it from my “Programs and Features” menu, but I keep getting a message that the program can’t be uninstalled until it is first closed. Nothing I do fixes this problem. HELP

Suddenly getting persistent "Gah. Your tab just crashed" error message this week; running Windows 11 on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 12th Gen laptop; I have run Firefox in Safe mode, disbled multi-process tabs, turned off h'ware acceleration, cleared cache and cookies, turned off BitDefender, Refresed firefox, updated firefox and windows, checked for malware, reinstalled Firefox, and attempted to create a new Firefox proficle (didn't run), all to no avail; attempted to use mozregression, but I don't have the skills. Would be glad of any help! Thanks
