I am getting a lot of pop-up messages for existing of many viruses on my computer. Please help me protect and then permanently remove these viruses from my computer.

I have tried five different window managers - none give a reliable permanent opening of Firefox in the primary monitor. Google suggested deleting two files from Profile; I could find only one; deleting it did not produce the desired result. Firefox 'Memory' appears to over-ride any setting.

So, I'm not exactly sure what's going on. Whenever I try to turn on Firefox's built-in VPN, either it tells me I cannot connect and to try again in a few minutes, or it just does not respond at all. I know this is vague, but it's literally everything I can muster. I looked through the settings, and nothing there helped.

Hi,

i can see all my previous tabs in history but can't reopen window?

I didn't close those tabs, one time i opened mozilla and they were all closed.

Help me, thank you

Have used Firefox for years, always do current updates. Still using Win10. After browsing for a few minutes, hard drive activity increases and the mouse and keyboard become unresponsive, returning very briefly for a second or two, before once again being unresponsive. After 10 min. or so, system returns to normal. This only happens while using Firefox. MS Edge, with all the same extensions, has no problem. Have searched many times, but no useful help is found. Have already un-checked hardware acceleration, and cleared caches, Am ready to give up and switch to Edge. Any help?

Dragging and Dropping folders to upload on dropbox.com have worked flawlessly before Firefox 150.0

Now in Firefox 150.0, dragging and dropping a folder will result in the tab crash.

See attached image of the notice.

Note: This tab crash does not produce a crash report as nothing is shown for this tab crash on "about:crashes"

The AI overviews that I am used to seeing at the top when I ask a question have disappeared. I think it has something to do with the AI controls but I can't figure out how to turn that option back on in Windows 10 Firefox. The only video I found refers to Windows 11 and the screens don't match. Is this feature still available and if so how do I enable it?

I was able to use Firefox web browser earlier today, but after trying to log in to Facebook, which failed, my account was no longer accessible, I saw an indication that my account was not connected. Do I need to update my software for Firefox. I've been having difficulties logging in to Facebook.

I keep getting the Firefox download page instead of the Firefox browser on my Windows 11 computer, even though I downloaded it several times after it was accidentally knocked off by some other program. How can I get it back to the Firefox browser?

Thanks so much~ dorcas

I am following directions that advise to go to Settings and change the option to open PDFs as individual files. Currently, they are opening as a Firefox tab. I have tried several times to make changes that stick, even rebooting. But PDFs still open in a tab.

Please help. Thank you.

Hello all,

I've been a long time Firefox user and recently (starting about 2 months ago) started seeing some irritating behavior while browsing. Firefox will at random intervals "gray out" either while interacting with specific webpage elements, or browsing specific websites. An example of this "gray out" condition is included as a screenshot. The browser will flicker between this "gray out" condition and the webpage, occasionally staying in the "gray out" state for 3-6 seconds. As you can see in the screenshot all Firefox UI elements are also missing, so this seems to be broader application issue. I've noticed this particular issue repeatedly on Amazon.com while moused over product photos.

I consider myself a power user. As for my PC, it is running Windows 10. All graphics drivers are up to date. Other apps run normally. I've never had any problem browsing/interacting with similar web content in Microsoft Edge... but I heavily prefer to use FireFox. Has anyone else encountered an issue like this?

While on my bank account, I have always been able to click on see image of check. And a copy of the cashed check would be able to bee seen. For whatever reason I can no longer see a check image. Box opens, no image.

I've just discovered that a lot of files I've downloaded in the last few months have the original file date instead of the download date. This has created total chaos and confusion with my organization as I have no idea when I did anything!

I presume Firefox has changed something. But why? When? What files does it affect? How do I change it back?

And why weren't we told about this huge change? After over 30 years downloading files from the web, it's become second nature that downloads always take the download date. A monumental change like this needs to be clearly signposted or it's going to create chaos with people's file systems and organization.

Update: On reflection, I think this is a Windows 10 bug, rather than a Firefox issue, so perhaps this thread should be deleted? I looked at the properties of the files in question and discovered that all three dates DO match the download date. The problem seems to be that WINDOWS ITSELF is displaying EXIF data dates instead of modified date. I only recently started using Windows 10 and this would seem to be a Windows 10 bug.

When I try to log into twitter (X) I get a pop up saying I'm blocked due to suspicious log in activity, that I have tried to log in too many times. I had not tried to log in for days. I do not get this message and can log into X on other platforms, including chrome and Edge. I prefer to use Firefox. This started happening after I uploaded the newest Firefox upgrade on 3/3/26, I run windows 10.

Is it gMail or Mozilla that is slowing down the time for gMail to open a new Message? My internet connection is consistently between 200-300 mbps. Also, how to I change the email address on my account? Or should I just start a new account? Thank you.
