Since last update of Firefox, When I try to download a file from any website, clicking on the download ling results in... nothing. I started using Windows Explorer because of that and I am miserable. I am using Adblock, Noscript, and Privacy badger. But as far as I remember the problem started with the last Firefox update and I had those add-ons before. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Uri

Hey Everyone, first post here,
So I love Firefox, it's my browser of choice, has been for about 2 years now. But I have been dealing with an issue this entire time and I cannot seem to solve it no matter what I do. I even bought a 3rd freaking GPU for my rig to dedicate to FireFox and still no luck (yes, the GPU is used for other stuff, but Firefox is it's only use when I am doing basic browsing).
All this comes down to VRAM usage. I commonly keep around 50-80 tabs open in Firefox. But it will eat up all my VRAM and them some on my GPU, and I have 8GB. I've caught it using 7GB of that, and probably more that was in the background shuffled into system RAM since VRAM was full (1GB was used for Windows for basic display tasks). And if I am watching a video, and then switch to a tab that hasn't been loaded in a while, the entire browser craps out and freezes for about 3-6 seconds before it stabilizes again. I'm pretty sure that the VRAM is being shuffled back from system RAM to VRAM for use.
Does anyone have any idea why the crap Firefox uses so much VRAM? I have tested this on multiple OS installs, multiple Firefox versions, 4 differnt computers, etc.... And they all have the same issue, high VRAM usage that ends up causing lag later down the road. This is really frustrating for me because it makes the browser completely unusable, and I don't want to stop using it because it's so much better than Chromium at literally everything else.
Oh and before you ask, yes I have tried uninstalling all plugins as well, still no luck (and the plugins across all 4 machines matched anyway when I was testing with plugins).

I'm helpless...it's been 3 months since Mozilla crashed. First - new bookmarks are not saving, and disappearing after restarting browser. I can't also make changes in already saved. I did all of suggested solutions and none of it help. It worked for a day or two, and problem was back. All files like places, favicon etc., was changed, profile changed, adds, motive also checked and changed.
I also reinstalled Mozilla and delete all registry before downloading new version. Does not help.
Second - since few months I can't also open some of the sites like pinterest - there is only upper bar and the rest is blank. First I thought it was Adobe flash, but it's working. Also on other browsers like Opera and Chrome sites are working. I think I tried all.
NO bug communicate is appearing as well.
Can anyone help me with this? thank you

I have a valuable history of browsing in Safari that I would like to bring over to Firefox. The only solution I have been able to find after an hour of searching is this product; iMazing. It appears to do just what I need, by exporting the Safari Browsing History from the database to HTML which it says can then be Imported into Firefox. Sounds good, but I would prefer to not have to buy a 3rd party product. Any clues? Thank you.

I have the default avatar. I try adding a new avatar within Firefox. I can see it to select which part of the avatar to display. When I click Change, the modal goes away, and my avatar is blank. I tried loading the avatar URL in an incognito in Chrome, just to be very sure: it is definitely blank.

I am trying to correct the "About Firefox" display which is displayed with black letters over dark blue background in standard mode but it shows whit on blue in Safe mode.
I copied the top image form FF update notice which was the correct color combination and added the logos which I see. The middle one is from Windows 10 and the bottom image is from Linux Mint. So, it's not a theme issue, although I changed themes numerous times. Also it has been so for the past year in which I upgraded the OS on several occasions.
My problem is that I am unable to see which version I am working with. Something which is important to me.

After 2 to 5 hours of use, Firefox cannot connect to the internet anymore (and loses active connections such as from the Facebook Messenger page). When trying to close it, one process of firefox.exe will always stay active and also cannot be killed by the Windows Task Manager. Also restarting the program does not work, since it cannot start due to another instance already running. By then the only solution is rebooting the computer.
This is going on now for about a week. I have had Firefox running on this laptop (Dell Precision M2800, Windows 7 Ultimate) as my major browser without major problems for years and have not recently installed any new software, but this is now becoming unworkable.
The only things that have been the same for all times that it happened is that I had more than one window open with multiple tabs in at least one of the 2 windows and the www.facebook.com/messages page was open in the multiple tabs screen (since it is the tab that always stays open for me). Also the process of all the running firefox.exe instances that cannot be ended via any way, always uses around 300MB (±50MB) of memory.
What I have tried so far:
-Rolling back to version 66.0.4 (hoping it was a version related problem).
-Full scan of my computer for viruses and malware.
-Removing the original profile.
-Uninstalling Firefox, including manually removing the Firefox related folders in AppData and Program Files and re-installing the latest version. Not installing any plug-ins or importing any of the previous settings or data.

Since May 2019 update WHY is Firefox 67 so messed up? Constantly changing proxy setting and not able to set it and have it remain set for no proxy. Frequently runs new tab non stop across top of page and unable to stop it from running , I have to log out completely to get the running tab to stop. But it only starts up again when I open Firefox again. \ Eliminated all add-ons and extensions. I had set up extensions with new directions to allow the specific extensions to be downloaded.
Constant message can't find server col122.mail.live.com, when Firefox opens and sometimes this occurs when proxy setting has changed on its own . But this "can't find server" message shows up almost every time I open Firefox and is NOT always associated with proxy changes.
This update has been a BIG HEADACHE !! AND THEN TODAY THE WHOLE THING CRASHED my computer. It took me over 5 hours to get my computer up and running again. However, I am Still getting the message "can't find server col122.mail.live.com" and proxy changes randomly.
HELP PLEASE

The home page for fastmail.com lists my four accounts there and acts as the FFox browser's home page on my Mac. After today's FFox update – as has happened in the past – the saved account names and passwords have vanished and I am currently having to login to each account manually. Even after setting them up again, because I have Firefox set to clear the cache when logging out, these Fastmail logins are being deleted. Unlike google.com's efficient generic home page which remembers the several google accounts it holds.

1 opened several new tabs - one with a welcome message for each extension I had installed 2 reset my home page 3 asked if I want to set FF as my default browser
It also would not remember and new settings, like when I would change my home page. I read another support thread which said to refresh FF, which I did and now all of my saved logins are gone. I followed steps on this thread:

Hello,
Both Firefox dev and standard are having a problem where if i leave my browser open for some time the CPU usage goes up and it will use all 32GB of my memory until it crashes my PC, this is a content thing.
I have tried clean uninstalling both and it has fixed nothing it has gotten so bad that i need to restart firefox every 30 minutes or so I might need to swap over to an other browser at this point.

macOS: 10.14.5 FF: 67.0.2 (64-bit) Avast Security: 13.12
I created a new profile using the Profile Manager (about:profiles). I selected a directory for it next to the "xxxxx.default" directory (i.e. in "/Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/" parent directory).
When I launch the new profile, I get the following message when opening any HTTPS sites:
"Software is Preventing Firefox From Safely Connecting to This Site
en.wikipedia.org is most likely a safe site, but a secure connection could not be established. This issue is caused by Avast trusted CA, which is either software on your computer or your network."
I can add a security exception one by one except for sites that use HTTP Strict Transport Security in which case it's impossible to open the given site. How can this be resolved without disabling HTTPS scanning in Avast?
Cheers, Marcel
