Firefox Community Forum

Hi, In the last hour FF has stopped working completely. I made the mistake of using Ccleaner, which is probably the problem, I haven't had issues cleaning before, though I usually check the registry before deleting and don't recall seeing any entry for Mozilla (I may be wrong, though).

Firefox was working fine a couple of hours ago, but now it won't open at all, except in admin mode and then it won't open any links or tabs, not even settings. I've uninstalled FF, deleted the folder in the Programs folder, and reinstalled it from scratch, but there is no change (the one difference is that it wouldn't open in Admin after before I reinstalled it). Waterfox doesn't open either, but Thunderbird seems to work with no problems.

Thanks, Matt

Since new update was installed today, in touch screen mode, every time a touch a link of any kind my touch keyboard pops up. This is very annoying. Where can I find the setting to turn off this option?

I've used FF for years. The last year, it does not function correctly on about 20% of sites. I suggest focusing on making it compatible, rather than requiring sites that are perfectly coded. I may have to drop FF soon.

I'm not sure what this feature is called in Firefox lingo...

On my Mac, Firefox will remember which windows belong on which virtual desktops, and so open up with them on the correct (well, not exactly, but sorta) virtual desktops after a restart of the app.

On my new Windows 10 installation, though, Firefox has learned that a specific window was moved to virtual desktop 2, and now INSISTS that that window should always open on the desktop after a restart, regardless of on which desktop that window was actually placed when Firefox was shut down.

Is there a quick fix for this issue, or at least some way to disable this feature?

Thanks :)

Hello, I am running win 7. Yes and Old computer. When the system is running slow I do a task manager to see what might be causing it.

I have noticed multiple Firefox processes running with 0 CPU usage. What are all those for and do I need them? Can I disable them?

On a separate issue I am getting this rendering error. This may be a Microsoft question, but I thought I'd ask. Error in rendering player Error Code: 400-404 Session Id: k6x4392p (Pls: 35a725dd-3aac-4813-8431-159ebc196c01)

Lastly I did contact support about uninstalling two Firefox programs. I deleted the one you said.

Thanks again for all the help, Irv

After updating to v 133.0, when maximizing Firefox (not F11 fullscreen), a taskbar that is set to "auto-hide" will no longer unhide when mousing to the bottom of the screen. This did not occur with the previous version (132.0.2).

This behavior is also unaffected by the "devtools.toolbox.alwaysOnTop" setting in about:config as i've tried switching from the default "true" to "false".

Update: Still persists in 136.0.2

I am seeing a new problem with the latest Firefox version 370.0.2 (aarch64).

When I try to load a link, Firefox seems to go into a sort of "spasm" with repeated attempts to load the link via multiple new web pages.

The link finally loads, however if the link is a login page I can get login failures due to multiple login attempts (e.g. Microsoft login fails authentication due to multiple attempts.)

Please can you help with this ASAP.

Many thanks AJ
