Firefox supportforum

I'm developing an app on localhost. I make an HTTP query which returns the cookie "MyCookie" to be set to "1". When I look into "Network" tab, it all looks as expected. Cookie is received, set and then sent with another call. However it is not displayed in Storage Inspector. Even the "Manage data" panel shows that there are some cookies for the localhost. Why is "MyCookie" not displayed in the Storage Inspector? When I deployed my app it was properly displayed there.

I have used Firefox and kept it updated for years. Today, when I tried to open it, I got this message:

Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox.

Seemed odd, but I created a new profile and synced my bookmarks etc. But when I restarted it, I got the same message. I can't troubleshoot because I can't get past this message.

I didn't add anything that I can recall or change any settings, so I don't understand what's going on.

Mac ios Montery 12.5.1

edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

Went to update to 105.0.1 on a windows 8.1 machine. Update failed, removed previous version and now will not even reinstall running the installer. Installer returns setup.exe Application error. unable to start correctly.

I keep getting the pop up to enter my password. I can not get past the enter your password even though I have reset my password and I am told it has been reset. I no longer have my primary recovery key from many years ago. I retried to create a new recovery Key. No luck. I am now on a new ASUS VivoBook 15 I bought in 2021 to switch to. I want to use it to travel with. I have set up 2 laptops, 1 CPU and a cell phone with Firefox because I travel to Costa Rica for over 30 years and its the best to use in country and in the States. When I use my older equipment I go to Firefox on opening Windows. My Firefox Browser opens with the bookmarks I have had for the last 2 years until the newest updates. Recently, if I still can't get past the pop-up I press cancel and go into the URL address line, type in what I want anyway. It works for awhile then comes in with the pop-up password request again. I have not used Microsoft Edge. I can use Bing, I prefer Firefox. By the way, I often get 2 0r 3 Screens opening Firefox at the same time then receiving a notification that an older firefox version must already be open and to close it. I do and again it works for awhile then starts to be a problem again. My question is how can I get Firefox to run trouble free on my new laptop?

I have installed every update that you have provided, and allowed the install at my discretion. Question; why is it I have no problems at all in any way until I allowed these updated to install. I have never had so many times when the screen stall's, even had to restart the PC with the reset button. Your updates are getting worse and worse :( When I last installed Firefox, I had limited and or no problems with this program, and yet you claim every time you update that you are fixing bugs, glitches, and a whole load of other stuff, but I never had any of these thing's happen until you started updating :( Can you please stop messing with a program that works properly, but putting it back too a version that works without constant problems :(

A few weeks ago I refreshed Firefox because I was having issues with a game I play that uses WebGL and that fixed THAT issue. I had tried everything before I did that, but nothing worked.

Every other website I go to works great for me - loads fast, etc., but when I do a google search, I often have to fresh the page several times. I don't understand why it is that just ONE site is slow. I end up opening Chrome when I want to do a search which is kind of a pain.

Is there anyone else with this issue? What can I do?? I hate the thought of switching search engines.

Thanks for any help.

My Outlook program for emails etc has a "talk" function ... click on it and a "voice over" runs through the email contents on speaker .. a tad slowly I'll admit but with failing eyesight it helps.

Is there an equivalent facility in Firefox, and if so how may I access it?

I'd appreciate some help with stopping firefox from wanting to update each time I open it. I've seen a couple fixes from googling. Uninstall and re download, tried that. I saw to check if it's got the run as administrator checking in properties. It does not. Also when I click on the update in the firefox menu it just takes me to the download firefox page...which is ironic.

No idea what else to do. Help would be great.

Hello, I'm trying to install firefox extension on selenium headless browser but I need to configure the extension to use an API key. The documentation of the extension says that I need to download the xpi file, extract the contents and to overwrite one of the js files and to hardcode the API key inside and compress it back to xpi but when I do that I'm getting error that the file is corrupt because when I change the file I'm breaking the add-on signing. I also tried to navigate to about:addons and put the code there in the preferences tab of the extension but I can't interact with input field for the API key. Is there a workaround for this? I went trough the code of the extension and I see that this key is saved in the extension local storage is there a way I can interact with this storage outside of the extension when I set up the browser driver? Any help will be appreciated. I'm using python-selenium 3.141.0

For two days now, firefox has not loaded any websites on my device. There is no loading process, I have no way to refresh, undo or restore the page, absolutely no page wants to load (not even firefox.support).

I tried every possible advice I found on your website. I cleared the cookie data, the website data, found the profile folder and deleted the parent.lock file, I checked the update, I updated the software on my computer. I checked in the task manager if any firefox does not work in the background after closing, closed the processes in the background, then restarted the computer and still nothing changed.

I found the firefox folder and made sure that it is in the properties as a "read-only" file and just to be sure I checked the correctness of the date, time and time zone configuration in the operating system to check if the browser has any problems with verification.

None of the above actions brought the slightest effect. I attach a screen showing the only thing that the browser displays

Sorry if this is not the right forum, please guide me to the right one.

Hi! I have an issue where my Firefox is opening multiple processes in my task manager. I am used to seeing 7, sometimes up to twelve if I have a bunch of tabs open, but for the last week it has now been spiking anywhere up to 25-30 being open in the task manager (and I will usually at the very most have 5 to 7 tabs open-TOPS!). My memory has been spiking to upwards to 30%, which is causing a slow down in my machine.

I have tried to shut down any extensions that I thought were causing the issue (Ghostery among them), but nothing changed.  I recently put Ghostery back on, and am about to try turning off Adblocker plus.  

When I looked at if I had any other hidden extensions, I saw that I have DuckDuckgo? ebay? and Bing? apparently on the extensions, but when I go into Firefox to remove them, they don't show up in the lists to turn off and on (I don't even use any of those as far as I know, so I don't know why they are even there).

I use Avast antivirus, and it hasn't indicated that there is any virus, but then again, I suppose a good virus would know the work around.

I am not really computer savvy, so perhaps I am making a mountain out of a molehill? If not, please help. This is very frustrating seeing so much memory go to Firefox!
