Firefox Community Forum

All my Tabs are crashing. It began a few days ago. A pop up with the option to refresh my tab or all my Tabs pops up, but neither of them help. The browser is not usable. Please help.

I have latest version of firefox on my windows 10 dell inspiron 7560 ... I have been using firefox for about 18 years now

system info - i7 - 8GB RAM, windows 10, one 128 GB SSD and other 512GB SSD

Since yesterday, it has been crashing after every 2-5 minutes; in troubleshooter mode as well...

I ran windows RAM memory test, it turned out to be okay... I ran a dell harware test, it informed me that my fan is not working properly; though I doubt its the reason for my firefox crashing

below are the 2 (two) crashes in text - can someone help please?

Look, I love the pocket topics that show up for me to read, and I like your browser. But, for the love of all that is decent, how can I stop receiving search results and topics to read in new browser tabs that require me to spread my information to yet another database, or pay straight up to access.

Let me cut to the chase. I will not ever, ever, pay or register for any of these sites. So whatever income is generated by depending on me to do so will never, ever, come your way. How can I stop this waste of my time and productivity and further degradation of my privacy?

My `dmesg` is flooded with entries that are the following:

184252.870968] audit: type=1400 audit(1727667776.986:1099): apparmor="DENIED" operation="symlink" class="file" profile="snap.firefox.firefox" name="/dev/char/195:254" pid=346183 comm="CanvasRenderer" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 [185202.435844] audit: type=1400 audit(1727668726.504:1100): apparmor="DENIED" operation="symlink" class="file" profile="snap.firefox.firefox" name="/dev/char/195:255" pid=348784 comm="glxtest" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000

There was a previous (years old) thread with similar complaints, but a different AppArmor log. The resolution seems to be to sidestep snap, but my impression is that Canonical has made that harder and harder.

Due to the technical issues the server is unable to connect. Sorry for the inconvenience happened right now and we will recover this issue very shortly. Our technical team is working on it, kindly give us some time and it will be rectified very soon. And thank for your patience.

Hi! When I start browser it took a long time in search engine to find a result. And sometimes not find anything at all. It simply stops searching and the page seems to freeze. Furthermore, in the settings it says that "Your browser is being managed by your organization" and I don't know what that means or which organization it is. There is some document on the link and that's it.

For a while now every so often when watching youtube (mostly) firefox causes my PC to crash. Normally with video and audio dying and repeating the last second of sound over and over robotically until the PC restarts. Sometimes I can still hear audio playing fine but video has frozen and I can still click to pause and unpause a video until it eventually locks up 5-10 seconds later. Sometimes it is completely locked up straight away. Some other occasions I can move the mouse for a bit but the screen is frozen and my mouse drags along dead pixels. It appears to be something to do with the graphics card (nvidia Geforce RTX 4060) but it is only ever activated by watching video, it never happens when playing games with firefox open. It has happened in some instances outside of video or youtube but was just after a video or with one playing on the side. It is 95% due to watching youtube and if not, firefox is always open when it happens.

Firefox is up to date as well as nvidia drivers. I even tried re-installing drivers fresh by removing old ones and re-adding and nothing. It will be an issue that will go away for a week or two or more, and not happen for a long time, and then out of nowhere starts happening again. Sometimes immediately after restarting and re-watching the same video again within seconds. Multiple times in one hour in some cases. Then other times it doesn't happen for weeks, almost as if whenever I update drivers or firefox, thats when it happens more, then as time goes on it goes away.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I have a closed Ubuntu installation I use to clone and quickly setup a VM. The closed system uses a proxy with restricted access to the internet, as such I would like to give it systemwide settings that will effect new and existing users.

I have attempted to use /etc/firefox/syspref.js, and apturl.js in /etc/firefox/pref/apturl.js. I have setting in EnvVars for HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY pointing at the proxy http://proxy:8080. It seems by default firefox does not look at that.

Secondly I wanted to turn off the site warnings for intranet sites using the following options: pref("security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled,false") pref("security.certerrors.permanentOverride,false") pref("network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist,false") pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled,true")

Seeing as nothing I try seems to be working, and the potentials solutions were for older versions, is there a way I can do this?

Thanks JJ
