Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

Opening a new empty tab is very slowly with the spinning wheel (about 10 to 20 seconds). With no other tab opened. Closing a tab also takes about more than 10 seconds (empy tab, no other tab).

Can not open web sites : almost every times nothings happens. But sometimes it works. Firefox process has tenths of child processes which are <defunct>

What I have tried : - Remove all configurations files (see list below) - Install a fresh Firefox - Restarts the computer (MacBook Pro Intel) - Launch Firefox

That means that I have an empty profile, no external module, no account synchronisation, no history, no bookmarks, zilch, nada ...

Repeated the previous procedures several times the last few months. With : - Mac OS X Ventura 13.5.1, Firefox 117.0 and Firefox 119.0 - Max OS X Sonoma 14.1, Firefox 119.0.1 - Mac OS X Sonoma 14.1.1, Firefox 120.0 - Mac OS X Sonoma 14.2.1, Firefox 122.0

Firefox has a normal behaviour for a few days after each system upgrade. Then the problems comes back.

Other browsers (Chrome, Safari) works fine and smoothly.

But ! TorBrowser, which is built on Firefox, encounter the same problems.

Configurations files that I delete : - ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.crashreporter.plist - ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist - ~/Library/Caches/org.mozilla.firefox - ~/Library/Caches/org.mozilla.crashreporter - ~/Library/Caches/Firefox - ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox - ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.mozilla.firefox.savedState - ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.mozilla.updater.savedState - ~/Library/WebKit/org.mozilla.firefox - ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox - ~/Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla /Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla

Can not find anything to try.

Any idea ?

on my MS Rewards account today, for the first time, I got this message: We're unable to complete your request invalid_request: The provided value for the input parameter 'redirect_uri' is not valid. The expected value is a URI which matches a redirect URI registered for this client application.

I access this when I access MS Rewards on my FF home page: https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=9c941f7c-a811-4e9c-8e66-29fdec50490f&scope=openid+profile+offline_access&redirect_uri=https%3a%2f%2fsnr.wus2.binguxlivesite.net%2fsignin-oidc&response_type=code&state=CfDJ8I2_1MsyeC5LgSUu2RHmXGM8NYR9tb3xmjMlREe6oQOjEfzHFEUWpw30cqkq771pzVIhypEtFqCBc5D-UODbjDQRDt7Ne1SEKfgdy46mi-No0Lg0fPe82eRxVHtS7bTdLxGl2cFchPkU66mIpnlY5isc9n0UqhWZ5NxF6a7Ikx_gpbi1EQIjk0MVXkVeq07WCNQe0p_C8ViFNBwjRIatZg245flkXtpHjlb1dPOoD1Rjd2guTfssPycFD5BeY4r-re6dmCzvZjvWH6joR2_GsNYKKlrRJQpi7DqCBdN2RqfRck6CqndCQAp0r_iYrDaOXb-ogUmUtv-BpbCu0f1So864MlUseJDGHRpvzQDe02ETlzmMmPM2QNLzYfJGii9n7jtEr9R_J_TX6NRAN93B64pA3N90YkVJ6eyK8weAOu9AIA6lbFvJ_mnfxICEEJFwhYByHH77g6hpQTOS5Tz97Kfm4Ycx0fCAA8p9BmdmnKa9-v0r-qa9D1Z-njY7BxdbQbtqWSz18Cg5FAs2EVZn8XQ&response_mode=form_post&nonce=638426827054027297.YzNjNmY1OGYtZDY0NC00YjlmLWE5OWEtZGVkYzRiYTBlYzdjN2YwYjNmMDItZDg4ZC00OTA3LTkzYmUtZTVhYmRlYWQ2NTBk&code_challenge=3yhQGg2lh3Cap_R7IDWk9-ouGYj2g3jJfujMzb3fkcw&code_challenge_method=S256&x-client-SKU=ID_NET6_0&x-client-Ver=6.23.1.0&uaid=43313cd0afae45969ebf5c46ef8d7e8d&msproxy=1&issuer=mso&tenant=consumers&ui_locales=en-US&client_info=1&epct=PAQABAAEAAAAmoFfGtYxvRrNriQdPKIZ-XC3bCyPcKLOzsZYRz6lpczJgwm6PlBpJSPyYzGTCentiNRAqqk3_W8VOgCNQVatmpG9RQvuUH4zmTt7_Iex1K6tMApLev5-gKu0UFiETGIm6xLIFOKDEtcYtFaDmIsqso_qaav6O9zUu71PdhRB8IGY8O5SdMJ5v8kG0kIZCvvYOX9A5kug5vobSGMuCqifBCEDo_7A4IUgSls89mKZptyAA&jshs=0&fl=easi2&cobrandid=03c8bbb5-2dff-4721-8261-a4ccff24c81a&lw=1#

On my MacBookAir (M2) audio on a lot of sites is out off sync (Imgur, X) but not on YouTube or streaming services (netflix and others). I restarted FF in save mode: no improvement. FF is up to date. OSX is up to date.

If I open a website in Safari there is no problem: audio/video perfectly in sync; gifs on Imgur.com for instance.

Not sure but on my MacBookPro (Intel) there was no such a problem.

Suggestions?

So, I installed a new hard drive about a week ago and while re-installing things I also re-installed the Firefox Browser 64- bit. Strangely, it seems like the files did not install itself in the right areas or the files installed did not install themself in the right or normal places. It does work, but for some reason I don't see it's program files? Is this normal or something that happens?

Anyways, I've backed-up my bookmarks, and I am going to uninstall it, re-boot, and re-install it and see what happens I guess. Or should I uninstall Firefox and its Profile Folders also, etc, and than re-install it?

I would like to ban the Quora website altogether but especially from answering searches I make. What I have found so far does not work. Any suggestions? If I can do that I might even do that to another website that I see no value in. Thank you.

My places.sqlite file deleted all previous history on Jan 17th at about 11:07 PM all the way back to early December of 2023. Ccleaner was last run on Jan 11th and the browser settings are set to clear cache and cookies only. The computer was showing no issues and I did not discover the lost history until I pulled up the history four days later. The history identified only the past four days when the last week was selected. The sessionstore-backups folder showed files back to January 1st. What I cannot figure out is why the places. sqlite would just clear on its own and why I cannot activate any previous sessionstore file by following the mozilla firefox instructions below.

I only get the landing page with the option to restore the previous session grayed out. What common reasons are there for a places.sqlite file to wipe out a block of history and why would reactivate a previous session not work? Thanks!

I use Firefox on Raspberry pi os. I have a lot of help files saved in mht format. How can I open these files in Firefox? Chrome supports such files without additional configuration, but I would not like to use this browser on Raspbian, since it consumes much more resources than Firefox. It is undesirable to use a different format.

Many files and folders have accumulated under the <profile>/storage/archives/0/ folder. The root folders therein are apparently named according to the yyyy-MM-dd date format. The dates range from ca. 1-2 years old.

The only information I could find about this folder was via ChatGPT, but that is not a reliable source of course.

Can I safely delete these folders and/or exclude them from a profile backup?

On new window (`Ctrl-N`) I want the focus to be on the url bar, not the homepage. I believe this is the default behavior if no homepage is set, but I want to set this behavior independent of the homepage setting.

Is there a setting for this?

Same as below, but solution did not work for me.

Hi everyone! I am organizing a school event in which we will have a large group of people watching a livestream of the 2024 OSCARS on a big projector. This will be a free event to students, so we are not profiting off of attendance. We did this last year, but ran into difficulties as the projector screen turned black, and then when it did start working it would be without sound. For this year- Will firefox allow for this Oscars event to be streamed and transfer to a projector?

Thanks!
