Firefox supportforum

I'm experiencing relatively frequent crashes of Firefox under Ubuntu Focal (approximately daily). The rather frustrating aspect is that, after the crash, Firefox immediately crashes when attempting to restart (either from the crash reporter dialog, or separately after quitting and attempting to launch it again). Re-launching in safe-mode also crashes immediately. However, after rebooting the machine, Firefox is absolutely fine once more (until the next time) which suggests to me there's "some state" left lying around somewhere preventing the restart (and perhaps related to the crash itself).

Here's the IDs of a couple of the safe-mode crashes, from attempted restarts (I figure those are most useful in cutting out the potential cruft; for reference, the non-safe-mode crashes appear to be at the exact same location):

bp-1c86b7c1-de6f-4153-b120-3ac320200814 bp-14a13b2b-6c6d-4d67-982d-132da0200814

Nothing comes up in the Correlations section of the report, and a search of the signature doesn't seem to turn up much relevant. Frankly, if I could just figure out how to get the browser restarted without rebooting the whole machine, that'd be a big step forward for me :)

Many thanks for any attention people can give this,

Dave.

My comcast xfinity email account is locked on Firefox when I try to sign in.

I have deleted and re-installed Firefox browser twice but the locked Comcast email still remains.

                                                 How can I fix this problem?

Hi,

problem is i have to press Ctrl+D twice in order to choose the folder the bookmark will be saved to (on the first one it only shows "saved to library"). This odd behaviour only started like 2 weeks ago, i havent installed any new plugins neither did the system change. I am on Kubuntu 18.04. with Firefox 79.0.

Thanks

Hi team support, I have a problem with my saved information not showing up

 I recently re-downloaded Firefox to my computer last month

i have many windows open in multiple browsers. i need firefox to adjust window size in width more than in height. up down controls with mouse are easy due to scroll wheels but left right scroll is a pain because i have to grab the stupid bar and drag it every time. any thoughts?

Hello,

When I try to reload a webpage, I get the following message. This usually only happens after the computer has been asleep or the webpage has been inactive for a few hours. I've used this for several months in Firefox, without any issues until now. Can someone explain what is going on?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to xxxxx.na90.content.force.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it? xxxxx.content.force.com (Salesforce) has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Sorry if long-winded, just trying to provide pertinent info...

So, when I click on the bookmarks icon, I get the following options...

View Bookmarks Sidebar Show All Bookmarks Bookmarks Toolbar Other Bookmarks

The only one I ever use, the only one I need, is actually the Other Bookmarks folder.

This means I'm at minimum two clicks from my bookmarks, and three clicks from an actual bookmark.

My question...

How can I fix Firefox so that when I click on the Bookmarks icon it actually shows the bookmarks I seek to find, instead of all that other fluff I never use?

It'd be so nice to be only two clicks from a bookmark, thus...

1) Open Bookmarks icon 2) See my bookmarks

Thanks for any help you can provide here, as it is so annoying the way it is now.

First the recommended add-ons I have installed in firefox browser are not working and when I try to install other Firefox recommended add-ons, I end up in an endless loop with no opportunity to install them.

I'm really curious why, when I check my computer's performance in the Task Manager (Windows 10) it shows multiple firefox browsers open, sometimes as many as 7 or 8?

I recently purchased a 2020 iMac and have found accessing my yahoo mail account cumbersome. Each time I open Firefox, I have to start from scratch to access my yahoo emails (search for yahoo mail sign-in link, enter yahoo email account, enter yahoo password). Incredibly time-consuming and frustrating. On my previous iMac (purchased 2008!), yahoo mail opened immediately when Firefox opened, making it very easy to quickly check my email. I have been unable to reproduce this rapid access route, despite spending a few hours on the phone with Yahoo (which finally gave up and suggested asking Firefox). Bookmark for yahoo mail vanishes when Firefox is closed and then re-opened. Same for top sites. Direct yahoo email access remains only as long as Firefox remains open. I would appreciate help in creating an efficient route from opening Firefox to reading my yahoo emails. Thanks!

When looking for credentials (e.g., password) in Lockwise, is there a way to use a wildcard in the url?

I want to sign on to a financial institution called Fubar Bank. If I search my saved login information for the string fubar, it returns nothing. The problem is that the real url is secure.fubar.com . It seems that Lockwise searches only the leading characters.
