Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

So, for some reason today, Firefox keeps minimizing whenever I click on it. I click on the Firefox logo in my doc, I see the browser for a second, then POOF a second later it minimizes. It's odd because the app seems to be working fine. In the split second that the browser was on my screen, I'm able to type a single letter, and all button functionality works. I even got it to go into safe mode, but the problem still persisted.

This is only Firefox-specific. Not having problems with Chrome or Safari, but Firefox is my browser of choice, so it's kind of annoying.

But for more details and troubleshooting,

- I'm running on a 13inch Macbook x86 on BigSur, so not the newer M1 Mac. - I've turned off and restarted my Mac Book. - I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox - I've used AppCleaner to get rid of all leftover files and then reinstalled - I've forced quit the app many times - I've tried the private browser and still nothing - My Mac is up to date and charged - I've run Malwarebytes to look for viruses - Firefox works on my IPad, so it's not an account issue

None of these attempted solutions worked.

Also, I can't reset Firefox or provide any troubleshooting information because the browser closes too fast before I can do anything.

Here's a video showing the problem: https://youtu.be/y3k-Q-eRyE4

I downloaded Myki Password Extension. I have the program installed on my computer, but I can't figure out how to get the extension 1) To the main toolbar, and 2) to record my usernames and passwords and 3) Autofill as a result.

My Firefox installation (86.0 64-bit on macOS 10.15.7) always crashes on opening gmail.com. It seems to be on the point it loads the hangout stuff, but that's subjective. Also seems to happen on other google domains, like meet.google.com

Some Crash ID's bp-b0a5daca-f85f-47dc-a306-647250210306 (gmail.com crash) bp-d4e0a614-cea4-41b3-b665-e5abd0210306 (meet.google.com crash)

What I've done:

• Tested if crash happens in safe mode (yes)
• Refreshed my installation: still happens
• Removed all cookies for google domains, still happens
• Created a fully new profile, crash still happens
• Installed a new Firefox from the website, crash still happens

I am getting these errors in the browser console. I am using Firefox Developer 87.0b6 I have disabled all telemetry options except for telemetry enables, because that is locked, but I am STILL getting pin errors. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1197144 See my about:config settings below. How do I stop this? The errors are particularly annoying because they don't clear when refreshing a page like other errors. Debugging is extremely painful.

Hi, because of a crypto scam (already 2 weeks ago) i am looking to recover my browser history? I need the information for the company which investigates my case.

I found some info online to recover, but it only worked a little, but not what i was looking for? 

I hope somebody can give some instructions , tricks to try to recover something.

greetings, Kyri.

I'm not sure if this is a question or not. But when I had a friend log out of my account on my PC Firefox browser and sign in to hers, it merged her personal data to my local PC and then merged with my own account after I logged into mine. There's an option to delete it, but if you accidentally don't check it, it stays there. She tried logging in and logging out and checking the delete local files, but her information is still stored on my PC and account. Funnily enough, later that day, I logged into her PC and browser and it's the same thing there. We only realized this just now. Is there a way to fix this all at once?

It'd be much preferable if Firefox accounts were instanced by default, and all personal data is exclusively with that account. With options to merge or download information longer term.

System Information

• Firefox: version 86.0
• Hardware: Dell XPS 13 9370
• OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64
• DE: XFCE
• CPU: Intel i7-8550U (8) @ 4.000GHz
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620
• RAM: 16GB
• Multi-account containers: 7.3.0
• I use Pihole hosted on an RPi.

Problem

For the last few versions, opening Firefox would result in no pages loading. The tabs would keep spinning with no result.

I've disabled plugins to find the cause, and have found that I can't reproduce this issue with no plugins enabled, but can reproduce this issue with only the Firefox Multi-account containers plugin enabled.

This problem also doesn't happen if I delete rm -rf ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default-release before starting Firefox, even with the plugin enabled.

When I have this problem, I can disable the Firefox Multi-account containers plugin to get the tabs to load, and then re-enable it. This implies the plugin is somehow blocking the tabs from loading.

Thank you for taking the time to read this question. Let me know if you would like any more information.

The great thing about DNS over HTTPS is that it's done at Application Layer. However, Firefox doesn't leverage this - producing a boilerplate response when DNS response failed.

I'm using NextDNS with P O R N category blocked, with https://dns.nextdns.io/XXXX as my TRR (and network.trr.mode is "3")

When NextDNS does its job and responds with Server failed, Firefox should be able to produce an informative response to the user, rather than "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at P O R N .com." which is more about connectivity than DNS failure.

Feature Request: Firefox be more informative DoH DNS failures?

Stretch Feature Request: if network.trr.mode is "2", Firefox passively notifies user that preferred method failed.

Hello,

When I press CTRL + T to open a new tab, then enter a query in the address bar to search in the default search engine, the tab doesn't load at all. At the top of the tab, it still reads "New Tab" and the address bar fills up with the search query's URL. This used to only occur every 2 or 3 times I opened a new tab to search something in this way, but now it is occurring every time I attempt to open a new tab.

I have Google Container installed as an addon, which automatically opens any Google domain in a new container tab. Strangely, if I navigate to google.com, then back to duckduckgo.com to search, this resets the tab. I've tried uninstalling the Google Container addon, but the issue persists. Any help is appreciated!

Hey,

I have a problem with firefox, i'm using a MacBookPro2012 with Ubuntu 18.04. It wont start at all, not even in save mode (without extensions). I tried to deinstall it several times, but after the reinstallation it keeps crashing.

That's was the crash report says. I don't know what to do, can anybody help out?

Hi, i got a problem with Firefox 86.0 after last update. Firefox freezes when I switch video, skip ads or go to main page when any video plays on Youtube. But there's interesting thing: if i pause video first and then switch to another, all right. But if i don't pause, firefox freezes with 100% CPU load. I have never seen that problem before.

I tried these steps, but it wasn't helpful:

1. Disable recommended perfomance settings and hardware acceleration. 2. Clear cookie, cache and startup cache. 3. Safe mode with disabled plugins. 4. Refresh Firefox. 5. Full uninstall Firefox and install again.

I don't know what else i can try to solve this problem... Please, help!

I can't get Firefox to show the bookmark editor. I thought i may have accidentally manually disabled it for new bookmarks, but when i tried to access it on an existing bookmark, it wouldn't come up. The star button still has an "Edit this bookmark (Ctrl+D)" tooltip, but does nothing when clicked. Ctrl+D does nothing further on an existing bookmark. I went into about:config, and the browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks option was set to true. I went ahead and toggled it off and on again to see if it would refresh or something, to no effect. Ultimately, i guess that's beside the point, as i can't even bring it up for existing bookmarks.Any suggestions, beside going in and manually shuffling each new bookmark into a folder from the library?

per the title you guys, is this possible? why does FF pick what it wants when you try to attach a file within ANY site's web app? email, sites, anything? what program is responsible for this? win? ff? I would like to change it at my will. not sure how. here's all I ran across, and none gave an answer:

I have problem with the Firefox new update. I have a program running. Once my program open the popup and active process was running when its finish the process, the popup goes under in the mother page. But in previous update those where running fine, the popup always on top of the mother page while is still in process and the transaction was posted its still on the top of mother page.

I want to disable checking for updates, but the setting to do so has been removed. After updating fairly recently, I noticed that the setting located in:

about:preferences#general

Was changed to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" WITHOUT my permission. As a result of this change, I get nagged while I am working ALL THE TIME. Like, several times a day. Not just when the browser first starts, but while I am working. I am getting sick of it! It's become spam at this point, drawing my eyes away from work. and if you think spamming people will make them do it, think again.

In Windows 10 I got so fed up with the automatic updates disrupting work that I outright destroyed my computer's ability to EVER get a system update. If the nuclear option is available for Firefox I am prepared to do so if only to make it shut up already.

So anyway, please tell me, how do I make it stop nagging me about updates? and while I am at it, how do I kill the notification system entirely? because I never want any type of notification ever disrupting me while I am working.

Obviously Mozilla understands this sentiment, since the default behavior now is to hide notifications as described here:

https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/block-notification-requests/

So why be so in-your-face about updates?

NOTE: I am not against updates in general, but back in the 90's when software updates was optional I updated things far more often because I enjoyed having the ability to do research on an update before accepting it. This personal policy has resulted in me avoiding lots of bad updates that damaged other people's computers, but software that updates without permission like Chrome, for example, would constantly introduce bugs or change behavior without my permission in such a way that makes it largely unusable to me. On my chromebook computer I was able to temporarily block chromebook updates by manually setting the version number to a maximum value but the moment google found a way around that an update was pushed that screwed up touch screen functionality, so, realistically speaking, the heavy handed approach to updates is ultimately what causes me to stop updates. Ironically. While I understand a desire for security, these big companies just don't seem to realize that my computer is my own personal property so they can't treat it like it was under the authority of their IT department. I just want control over what my computer is doing. If and when I update it will be because I am ready to, not because someone else decided to force it on me.

Hi Firefox has been crashing on my linux system since february 27th Whether I attempt to start it safe mode or not, it will crach on startup, and Mozzilla Crash Reporter GUI will open. If I attempt to run it from the terminal in safe mode, the following error message appears in the console ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 21529 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

Is it possible to have a default container? When I open a site in a container, if I then use the open window to go to a URL that I have not assigned a container to, i would like this new site to open in a "default" container. I believe the Facebook container works like this, it only allows Facebook related sites to be opened in that container any other sites are open in a new window/tab. An example, if i open a bank URL in a "Banking" container, log off and click on another unrelated bookmark (say Mozilla help), It would be nice if it opened in a separate container I had assigned to be the default container.
