Firefox supportforum

I am currently using a Yahoo Mail account and have been for years but recently when on the yahoo mail page I get a red notification tellimg me I'm not connected to the internet on the tab displaying Yahoo Mail.

All other open tabs are able to access the net with no problem.

The only way to clear the issue is to open task manager, select all user info whereupon I will see one or two entries under Firefox using massive amounts of memory, i.e most open windows will have between 4.000k and 10.000k allocated but the top two entries arranged under memory use will both be firefox showing around 13.000.000k and 1.500.000k but with no information to identify which tab in firefox is using that amount.

If you select the 13.000.000 and end process, it ends that entry and nothing happens, if you then end the 1.500.000 process it crashes firefox and every single tab and window closes.

Restart firefox and it will open with the session restore page, hit restore existing session and watch the pages reopen and one iteration will head for the 13.000.000 mark again and Yahoo will not load at all.

It usually takes one or two more crashes until the session restores and Yahoo Mail loads and opens as if nothing has happened.

Today however after 4 attempts I eventually got a cannot find server notice on the yahoo page so I hard reset my router and after manually diabling and re enabling my network adapter my computer re-established a newtwork connection but when I restarted Firefox again the restore session was greyed out and only the new session button was available.

In the new session it loaded Yahoo mail immediately and when I tried to see if I could manually restore the session using the top right menu button, there is no session restore information or button at all.

Go to the history tab and there are no closed tabs or windows ( both greyed out) but the recent history display and the history itself is showing all the previousl pages.

I searched online and found this link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267353#:~:text=If%20your%20tabs%20disappeared%20and%20the%20previous%20session,3.%20Close%20Firefox%20Delete%20sessionstore.jsonlz4%20file%20More%20items but none of the information in it matches anything in my file system even though I too am still using Windows 7. This is the version in the update history Firefox 108.0.2 (20230104165113) Details Installed on: 6 January 2023 at 15:40:33 Status: The Update was successfully installed

Can anyone help with the why one particular tab in firefox keeps trying to monopolise memory use for itself and how to stop it, and whether there is any way to recover the previous session information as I can't find anythig remotely relating to it on my system at all:-(

Thanks

Dear Sir I had been watched youtube many years, but a few years back then it kept signed me out, and I have had to sign in again every time. It's annoying and rather fed up too. would you help and give me advice how can I stay sign in once and for all. Thank you. Regards. Louise

When Firefox updated on my Windows 7 computer, I could no longer access my email on Outlook.com. I had to revert to an earlier restore point on my computer (and thus the previous version of Firefox) to use Outlook.

Greetings and Regards In Windows 7 64-bit, when pasting in any of the empty spaces and entries, Firefox closes suddenly. Report ID 93d3828f-e08f-4b02-8f99-40070d9ac990 bp-b9584f4d-6683-452b-9fd5-5b46c0230527

I purchased online the Firefox VPN and Email mask program. Because my system is windows 7 Pro it would not install. I want a refund on my 80 plus dollars back to my PayPal account. Bill Phillips [removed email from public]

Can a Wildcard such as Dollar or the question mark be used to substitute a character or a number of characters while searching the FF password manager? Thanks I checked out the help page below and tried to search the help but no joy https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/privacy-and-security/passwords-forms-search-and-history Thanks M E

After second to last update Firefox doesn't show bold fonts on my website. In Chrome everything is ok. This issue shows on diffrent computers and diffrent windows version. How to fix it?

The "shield" icon for turning off tracking protection cannot be turned off completely. It seems you have to do this for every single website. This feature (curse) makes almost all websites non-functional. How do I turn this off completely? If I cannot eliminate this I will change to another browser.

The last time I updated Firefox it forgot my open tabs and browsing history. I never want to update Firefox again so how do I disable this annoying popup about a new version? If I cannot eliminate this I will change to another browser.

When i start up Firefox, or go to a new website, i get a "Cannot Load Page" message for the first 1-3 attempts. It can take several minutes to access the internet every day. No other devices, or Thunderbird have any difficulties. I have the latest versions, completely removed my firewalls, installed a new Arris wi-fi system (my desktop is hard-wired,) and uninstalled my Norton - there has been no changes. Its getting very frustrating because i am dealing with new life issues, and trying to research documents is like pulling teeth. I need this fixed or i will need to try a new browser.

Hello there. In the Android system there are Compendiums for saving pages.In Win 7 such Collections are not visible.Why? No meaning in synchronization...

hi there,

I'm having problem downloading Firefox browsers onto my Windows 7.

I'm constantly getting this message

Hmmm...For some reason we could not install Firefox.

Please help, two days have gone and still this problem hangs on....

Many thanks Q

Never saw those borders before. Since last auto upgrade (113.0) or perhaps the one before, videos now have borders. What has caused this ? Screen grabs don't capture the border.

Also: any word on dealing with floating videos ?
