How do I get rid of this error message as it just hungs the firefox browser. Firefox used to worked before and not it is just as slow or worse than the old Internet Explorer. I did the refresh and it does give you a sort off cleaned up instance and then as time go through, its back again. And yes, Firefox is my default browser.

I'm on Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon. Just upgraded to Firefox 79.0

Firefox opens no problem. I start to type in a url and it shows autocompletions like normal, but when I press enter, nothing happens. No processing indicator, just white screen. The same happens for `about` pages like about:config.

If I open a new tab or (private) window, I get the "Firefox has been updated in the background" message with the button to restart. Click it and it restarts in the same state.

I've double checked that when it closes, there are no firefox processes running.

Everything behaves the same if I start it from the command line with "firefox --safe-mode".

When started from the command line there is a slew of this error:

1. 1. 1. !!! [Parent][MessageChannel] Error: (msgtype=0x390132,name=PContent::Msg_AsyncMessage) Channel error: cannot send/recv

Help?

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.

Is there a pocket-free build of firefox available for download? Before you say, you can just disable it, I already have. In addition to that I've blocked the update/api url as well. I want it removed completely, I strong feel mozilla should make it opt-in or provide a pocket free build.

I was thinking perhaps there is a regulatory constraint on of the builds here that I could install, then change back to english?

Any help would be appreciated.

For years I always used Firefox for obtaining my gmail. Now, for the last two months, I cannot access mail.google.com......Firefox will NOT go there and page remains totally white ! I have to use CHROME just to get mail.I can access my google calendar from Firefox with no problem. WHAZZUP?? TIA

Hi all!

I started using Firefox a few months ago to try and get away from Chrome (great move!). I use it a lot for work, but also a fair amount for personal use. Is it possible to create different ‘profiles’ on your account?

For example, I would like to use the Sync feature to sync my work Bookmarks to my phone and PC, but I want to keep those separate from my personal ones. Allowing Firefox to toggle between a work profile and personal profile would help this out.

I’m using Firefox for PC and iOS.

Thanks Casey

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.

Hello,

Something was altered with the Firefox browser. My default page shows a Google Search bar. When I type something in the bar to do a search and hitting enter then brings up https://search.yahoo.com with my search. I didn't intentionally change anything within Firefox and if I go to the "Options" page under my Firefox page, it shows that my default search engine is Google.

How do I fix my searches to use Google and not use Yahoo?

If I use a different browser like Chrome, or Microsoft Edge, they both use Google search correctly.

This problem just started yesterday August 13, 2020.

I recently installed Firefox as my default browser on my laptop with windows 10. When I try to download an svg file to my computer, it comes in as a Microsoft Edge HTML Document that isn't compatible to my Silhouette Crafting Program. It doesn't give me an option to download from Firefox. I changed to Firefox to get away from Microsoft Edge. I don't know where to find any settings to correct this? What do I need to do? TIA

Hello,

when I updated the Windows 10 to it's latest version, all websites stopped showing in the Firefox browser. When I try to type a url and press enter, nothing is showing up (https://imgur.com/13i6kNc). Extensions are also not showing up (https://imgur.com/gfVqWap). Not even Firefox settings (https://imgur.com/xO0D2cJ). Other browsers are working normally (I tried Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome 84 and Opera 70).

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Hi I have noted that sometime text looks differently in firefox and sometime blurred why??

I attach two images of same site of the day taken da awwwards.com. The strange thing is that the screenshot taked with firefox strument looks good, therefore I've used screen capture of windows.

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?

После чистой установки последней версии Firefox 79.0 я не могу зайти в свой аккаунт на Ebay. После ввода логина и пароля получаю сообщение: Access To Website Blocked . С другими браузерами: Chrome, Opera, - такой проблемы нет. Дополнения не устанавливал, куки и кэш вычищены неоднократно после каждой попытки. OS: WIN7 64

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

Please help me fix this. I had reset my windows and after I installed and signed in to my firefox account. The data from my previous sessions like bookmarks, logins and passwords are not synced with my account. Those were very crucial for my work. Please Please help me out asap.
