Etc. I try with safe modality, disable acceleration hardware. Change in about config the time of the script, turn false dom.ipc.processHangMonitor and dom.ipc.reportProcessHangs but nothing. The problem is only with some pages. Initially the error is Argh! The page crashs. When I restart in safe modality the error is on the top "the browser is slowed down from a page etc.". When I change things in about:config the error is about a script.
Someone can help me please? ThanksI am using 60.6.1esr (32 bit)

My browser settings have the sessionstore.interval set to the default of 15000 (15 seconds) but only seems to write to the sessionsstore file only when I add or destroy a tab. This behaviour is fine with me except it does not write to the file if I change focus to another tab.

Last week I set up a Firefox.Send account and successfully sent test files to both myself and a friend over a two day period. Since then I have been unable to sign back in using the correct address and password. One test file should still have a few downloads remaining, not that it should matter.
I am using Windows 7 Home premium, SP1 and Firefox 60.6.1 on a sorta slow DSL line (~0.6Mbps).
The procedure is as follows: On the page showing "Create a Firefox Account or sign in", I enter my EMail address and click the blue "Sign in/up" box below that, getting a new page [Picture 1 below] telling me to check my EMail for a Confirmation Link. Clicking on that link in my Mail (in another tab) gives me a new tab showing a message that the sign-in has been confirmed, which sometimes reverts to the error message shown in picture 2, or sometimes remains but the original sign-in tab changes from the Pic. 1 view to the error message. Either way, I don't get signed in. I have disabled a VPN, cleared cookies, closed all other windows and tried a few other things but still can't get the system to finish signing me in. FWIW, that password is different than the one for M.support here. I would appreciate any suggestions about what to do or check to get this to work. Thanks

On a recent show of Security Now Steve Gibson was talking about Google using ping tracking to spy & track on everything we do and how bad this will be for privacy. I was pleased that it was only google doing this with chrome until this morning he said Firefox are adding it in an upcoming update and when its in you cannot disable it, all in the name of a faster internet. Can anyone tell me why a privacy based browser is using this technology and how will the content/tracking blocking features in Firefox respond to these changes?

Windows 7, FF 66.0.3. Long time FF user. Something happened yesterday and FF froze (do not remember what I was doing). Closed FF and reopened, tried to go to a familiar web page and FF did not log on as usual. None of the saved urls, user IDs, or passwords appear. Now, there is an exclamation point in a yellow triangle at the 3 horizontal 'menu' icon. Clicking on the icon calls up the "reconnect to Sync" message. I cannot sign in, seeming to be a password problem. Please note, I do not remember ever enrolling into a FF account. That could be a fault of memory, but I typically note when, where, user id, and password or other important data when registering. First question: does FF sometimes 'loses it' causing similar problems? If so, what is the solution to the problem?
Or, am I screwed? I looked around trying to find soluitons before coming here but only found disheartening info.

My PC is 2 yrs old, 16 GB RAM, running under Win7 Professional, formerly using IE 11, using MS Security Essentials
PHASE 1: 10/18/18 - virus took over browser; CMD available, so I got rid of virus. Then 01/01/19 - 02/12/19 seven virus attacks even tho' I installed McAfee. 02/13 - Installed Firefox 65.0.2 -- NOT as DEFAULT browser.
PHASE 2: 02/15 - virus 02/16 - made Ffx DEFAULT browser 02/17 - "Firefox Update" virus; later same day, 1st BSOD. 02/18 - "Firefox Update" virus; later same day, 2nd BSOD. 02/19 - "Firefox Update" virus; UNINSTALLED Firefox. NOTE: I manually deleted many Ffx files left behind after uninstall (incl Ffx ID).
02/20, 02/22, 03/03, 3 addtl BSODs. 03/04 Reinstalled Ffx (Why not?); set it to default browser.
PHASE 3: No BSOD until 03/14, then none 'til 03/27. 03/28, 29, 31, BSODs; little use of machine; 04/09 legit UPDATE of Ffx. Still 65.0.2
PHASE 4: 04/12 BlueScreen; uninstalled Firefox; wiped everything I could: caches, dumps, internet Temp files 04/14 Full install of Firefox 66.0.3, set as default browser. Ghostery Add-on. 04/15, 04/16 -- viruses 04/19 BlueScreen. Made IE default browser -- it's a duenna -- but I'm using Firefox.

Couldn't load XPCOM.
I checked all preriquisites and installed GTK3 but Still have the error.

Having a search "feature" that does not immediately come up with not only the bookmark but also it's location in the bookmark folders is frankly useless. It has been driving me crazy for years, and is what eventually made me give up on Firefox. Yes I know there are extensions that can do this (though I am now a bit out of the loop and don't know of any current ones) but they are simply not the solution. Extensions change and are often disabled after an upgrade leaving me to scramble looking for yet another half assed solution.
Imagine if the file manager on your operating system allowed you to find the words "idiot" in a file somewhere on your system but didn't give you any way to actually find the location of this file in your system without lots of extra work! That would be completely unacceptable - Well that is what I have with Firefox!
As users, lazy developers of all sorts of software have tried for years to force us to store our snippets of data in one gigantic box and then force us to rely on searching, sometimes for ages to find whatever it is we put in that box.
This is not how organized people like to work. Putting every single tool I own in a big box in my garage would be insane and using that system would be just as insane on a computer or in an application. We generally put woodworking tools together, mechanic type tools together, measurement tools together, electronics tools together. Then when we need that funny little thing we use to pry open mobile phones, we can find it, even though we don't know its name or exactly where it is, it is with the electronics tools, we go to that box, drawer or wall-board and ah, there it is, no unpacking a huge box of unrelated tools (The thing we are looking for is always at the bottom).
Well my bookmarks are the same. There are times when a directory system does not help and then I rely on searching but most the time my work flow is like this: Today I am working on a robotics thing. I remember seeing a cool little motor I came across when I last worked on robotics stepper motors I remember the name of the stepper motor so I search for it. It shows me the directory I put it in and presto there too I find the information I saved about the other cool little motor. I have this happen over and over. This the only reason I save bookmarks. Hell if I am going to throw all bookmarks into a single box an use search then why bother with bookmarks at all? I can just use Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever other search engine takes my fancy!
If there are other people out there that feel like I do, please note your irritation here so that those wonderful people who give so much of their time to improving Firefox can know that this is a big issue.
If there is a new search tool that also shows the directory structure, please bring it to my attention.
BTW, I am whining a lot in this post but it is because I love Firefox and really miss using it. If programming were my passion rest assured this is something I would be happy to help with but it is not, my skills lie in other areas where I regularly contribute to the good of others. Thank you Firefox developers.
My bookmarks have become quite messy since losing the ability to easily find things and I want to bring them back into line. I miss being able to find stuff I liked.
Oh and please don't tell me "Tags" - tags are another half assed solution for this workflow. Tags have their place and are useful but not for keeping things organized. They are too reliant on searching.
Tags: So all my tools are in one box with a sticky label tagging some as woodworking, some as metalworking, some as electronics - that is still one very big, very messy hard to work with box of garbage!

Ctrl + Q is very close to Ctrl + W. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Can we have a prompt on Ctrl + Q? I know it might be difficult to have a customizable shortcut where I can simple move Ctrl + Q to some other key. But it shouldn't be difficult to add a prompt on Ctrl + Q? Especially when multiple tabs are open.
And yes, there's a feature to start from where you left, but in some webpages, you lose the context and that really bums me out (and maybe other people too).
If someone is willing to guide me, I can make a patch for this too. I don't know where to start.
