Firefox Community Forum

Firefox is my default browser. I few days ago, it failed to open, and continues to do so. When I click on the icon, I get the blue spinning circle for a few seconds, then nothing. I have tried to refresh and reinstall, but nothing worked.

Constantly getting the following messages - "Not Responding." "This application is not responding. The program may respond if you wait. Do you want to end this process?" I am on my email or reading an article on my email and it goes blank. Also, I get "Restore session or start new session." The only way I can get to start my computer ( getting the password box ) is if I do Control Alt Delete many times.

Very Frustrating indeed!

how to turn off, disable, kill the primary password. I want nothing to do with this feature. it is a royal pain. i have tried all the options but no go.

help last chance before i dump firefox!! thanks Buffy Bandley Grammy B

sense I leave tabs open that I want to watch latter i would like to be able to see the video before I close the tab: when i open it says the tab that is taking the most memory is "https://youtube.com (15668)" I tried clicking and right clicking but no functional it locate or go tab then i opened the drop down the search bar set it to tabs and typed in "https://youtube.com (15668)" but it showed no results.

I use Windows, and my browser is already set to open windows and tabs and to automatically open Firefox on startup. My history is set to Remember History. I've tried using Ctrl + Shift + T with no luck. What else can I do to get this function back?

Hello,

I have the latest version (140) of Firefox installed on a Windows 11 laptop with the latest Windows updates. It works fine for my user (who, BTW, has admin privileges) but it won't even start for my wife's Windows user. To be precise, "won't start" means that when you try to launch it it sometimes looks like it's trying to create a window but immediately closes it with no error messages, no crash reports, no logs, nothing at all. It won't even start from the Run menu with any command line flag like -p, -ProfileManager or even -safe-mode, I tried all of them.

Other things I've tried: 1) Check the Windows event logs. Nothing. 2) Run sfc /scannow to check for corrupt system files. 3) Uninstall Firefox, delete the Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder, and re-install it. 4) Move the entire Firefox folder inside %appdata% to a temporary folder outside users. Firefox recreates it, creates 2 new profiles and dies silently again! 5) ...and a lot of other things that I read online and do not remember anymore.

At this point I'm at a loss and I'm an IT guy. Of course I have no idea how this happened, the browser used to work fine up until a week ago or so. Other software that might interfere is Malwarebytes, but it works fine for my user, so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

In the latest update, the search engine toggle needs me to use the mouse. First, I just had to press ↓ and then toggle between the search engines. Now, I have to do an Shift + Tab to scroll through the list, which is tedious!

Can the old functionality be brought back or maybe a shortcut added for the toggle?

Why did Wikipedia suddenly appear in the address bar at the top and when I try to put in address it goes to Wiki on them not the website. The search bar in the middle that was Google is now Wikipedia. How do I get rid of it and go back to how it was before?
