It loaded and played OK prior to this update.... works mighty fine on another browser, if this is not fixed I'm through with Mozilla AND you can remove my account!

Looking in task manager-: Firefox.exe 45,24K Firefox.exe 3,16K Firefox.exe 27,484K Firefox.exe 7,392K Firefox.exe 7,344K Firefox.exe 15,735K Firefox.exe 7,320K Firefox.exe 169,932K, I round it off to about 250MB

Yes I cleared the cach, I change profiles..... as said by each update about:config gets bigger and bigger.

I have clicked the 'always ask where to save download' box, but the save files to downloads is still active. How do I get it to ask me where to download to every time?

Hey!

For over a year some webpages show up blank in my Firefox browser. They all work fine in Inkognito/private windows.

I have tried emptying cache etc. Running Ventura 13.6.

One page recently stopped working and show: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

www.pinterest.com is completely white.

Facebook.com shows up fine but does not work properly.

Any instructions on exactly what to do?

Hi,

I need Proxy settings to use some of the company's applications. Until yesterday, I was able to set them and change them at will. Today, the browser disabled this ability, so I can't use some applications. The fields are grayed out and I can't change them (screen attached). What could be the problem and how to change it as soon as possible? I am not familiar with technical issues, so please give me very simple answers that I will understand and take as little time as possible.

As of the past few days the OneNote Web Clipper Extension has stopped working in Firefox. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? I've tried refreshing FF and reinstalling the extension but the problem persists.

Can I get an explanation for what this does

Is it supposed to do something different than the windows taskbar mouse thumbnail

I saw no difference when enabled.

I have 4 tabs open, and my computer is running and running... come to find out, FF is running 17 tasks in the background... why? And what can I do?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm on Arch Linux and use uinput to create key events. It works reliably for >12months in all applications and under all circumstances except in Firefox where some key events are skipped non-deterministically. My test case is:

in a text field, emit `<ctrl down>a<ctrl up>123456789987654321<left>...<left>` with 9 times `<left>`. Sometimes a 9 is missing and sometimes the cursor is further to the right than expected.

This happens every 8th try or so, which is too frequent to not break the user experience.

What I have tried: - multiple PCs (2 with this issue and 1 without) - Troubleshoot Mode - `window.onkeydown=(e)=>console.log(e)` (events are missing)

Since I've only ever seen repeated characters/keys disappear and never when writing manually, I would guess there is some kind of event cleanup algorithm kicking in. (the events are emitted without any delays)

I would really like to fix this issue because Firefox is my favorite browser. Any idea how to track it down?

Hello all,

I'm building a website which uses a `ServiceWorker`. This worker uses `import` to load another JS module. As far as I understand, this should be possible starting Firefox 114 (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#browser_compatibility). However, it's crashing with an `TypeError: ServiceWorker script at https://localhost:9292/sw.js for scope https://localhost:9292/ threw an exception during script evaluation`. The worker script is loaded as module using `navigator.serviceWorker.register('./sw.js', { type: "module" })`, and working on Safari and Chrome as expected. When I remove the `import`, the worker loads and works. Tested on Firefox 118, 119, 120.

Here is a full sample: https://gist.github.com/fnordfish/9b38b90fba54093ee601887a3bd3e11e

I can't find any related bug in Bugzilla or anywhere else. Which makes me wonder what I am missing.

PS: Non module `importScripts` work.

I'm having a lot of frustration trying to edit the shortcuts in the New Tab page in any kind of smooth and easy manner. While I recognize that having sync turned on means that Firefox destroyed my pinned shortcuts on this PC when I logged into Firefox on the new PC I am setting up, it's incredibly inconvenient, and the lack of options in regards to editing makes replacing all of it really, really awful. I have no ability to see the history of my shortcuts, nor can I save configured shortcuts and restore them should an improper sync destroy my previous settings. If I want an empty tile, I have to go through and repeatedly dismiss everything from my history to stop more of my visited websites from replacing said tile. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? If not, is there any kind of way that more customization options for New Tab shortcuts might be suggested?

Really too much PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk does NOT have issues.

this error message occurs regularly ( and sometimes with amazon.de)

Please fix the bug that causes this, or allow a option to ignore the (non existent) error.

Been perfect for years. However, recently (2/3 months) when attempting to make a purchase online using my normal bank debit card, I am sometimes asked for verification. On entering the "Correct" details and the "Correct" PIN sent to me by my bank, the verification will not work. I have had several long conversations with my bank who have established nothing is wrong either with my banking or their system. Their investigation shows the problem lies with my browser ie. "Firefox". This is causing me untold misery and prevents me purchasing online with my bank. I have no idea how to find the issue or certainly how to fix it. Otherwise my pc is working just fine. Windows 10. I really hope you can throw some light on this. I suspect it has occurred since a Firefox update was installed!!!! William Burns

See pix. I have my PC set to NOT auto update, yet it still does. Every time you guys post an update (which is super frequent) it locks up my PC for an hour or more! I have to restart it several times before it reconnects to the internet.

I used to like Firefox because it let me set my browser up in an intuitive and comfortable way, and it was able to easily do the things I wanted to do. Then simple and useful features (e.g., tabs under the address bar) were hidden in about:config. Then they were removed completely, and you had to use third-party extensions to restore them (e.g., getting the refresh button on the address bar). Then, the third-party extensions were blocked so that you had to copy and paste third-party code into userChrome.css (e.g., restoring "View Image").

I hate updating Firefox, because it gets worse every time. This browser has turned to absolute garbage, and it just keeps circling the drain. Wasn't Firefox supposed to be the customizable browser? Mozilla seems to have decided that customization needs to be completely wiped out, and features need to be removed for...some reason?

Why is this happening? I shouldn't have to be afraid of the update button, but it's become a "make Firefox even worse" button. My only consolation now is that Mozilla won't have any more major updates for my operating system, so I might be okay for a few months.

Hi,

I have an Acer Chromebook. I just downloaded the Firefox browser so I could use the Stardoll website. It's not really available through Chrome because you need the launcher to play now and it's doens't work with Chrome. I tried to download the launcher with Firefox but when I try to open the download, it just says 'no app found to open exe file.' I also tried to download the Flash add-on and it says the same thing. My laptop is on a Chrome OS. Will I be able to fix this problem?

TIA
