So I was going about my daily buisness i was watching some videos on YouTube and quickly had to run some errands, leaving my computer as it was. When I came back Firefox had crashed and would not open regrardless of what I did, so i went and restarted my computer and everything worked except HTML5 videos (facebook's fine cause they use their own thing). The one thing that keeps ringing in my head would be to uninstall and reinstall, any advice would be appreciated

Hello Mozilla -- I've been dealing with a problem over the past week and would like to ask for whatever assistance anyone could provide.
I've been entering online sweepstakes through the various websites of Publisher's Clearing House ("PCH") for a number of years, but have had trouble with a number of browsers I've used previously; for full disclosure, I have also informed their Customer Service of this issue and will be examining this issue with them simultaneously. I've used Internet Explorer and Google Chrome to participate in PCH activities over the years, but have experienced various problems; late last year, I transitioned over to Firefox, and despite having problems here as well, I had a breakthrough by using Firefox's Incognito mode, which minimized the frequency of performance problems, if not nearly eliminating them altogether. I soon learned that the reason why the site performance improved on these instances was because of the automatic settings of the Content Blocking in Incognito mode, which blocked a number of disruptive third-party cookies from interfering with a site's essential functions.
Unfortunately, about a week ago, I hit a snag; while on a PCH website (while Incognito), a pop-up from the page came up saying that ad-blocking software had been detected, and was trying to get permission to get through the firewall. I dismissed most of the initial wave of pop-up messages, but in a momentary lapse of attention, I accidentally clicked the "I Agree!" button to allow PCH's third-party content to get past Firefox's Content Blocker. At first, I didn't think there would be a problem, since all cookies and data get undone once Incognito mode is closed, but unfortunately, the third-party content from PCH websites continue to get past the Content Blocker, especially while in a private window. What's worse, all efforts to undo this mistake have failed, despite taking a number of troubleshooting measures to re-establish a firewall on third-party content from these sites.
In the last several days, I have refreshed Firefox several times, uninstalled (and reinstalled) the browser on several occasions, and have even used the Profile Manager to delete all files from the browser's profile. Despite all these actions taken, the browser continues to recognize third-party content from all PCH web pages while in Private Browsing. I've also used the site information to adjust the privacy settings to levels higher than "Standard" instead; I've set the Content Blocking level to "Custom" in order to block all third-party cookies, and failing that, went ahead and set it to "Strict" to try blocking everything. Nonetheless, the third-party content still manages to get through, and subsequently drags both website and browser performance down with it. I will include a couple of screengrabs taken in the last few days of recent attempts at private browsing, with the site information drop-down windows visible to display some of the third-party cookies that are detected while Incognito.
With all the aforementioned steps taken so far, I wanted to ask if there is anything else that can be done to undo the permission I accidentally gave to these websites and go back to the third-party contents thereof being prevented from displaying while in private windows. Even in the site information tab, it clearly states that "no special permissions are given to this website." I would like to repeat for all's benefit that I am also in the process of discussing this matter directly with PCH Customer Service to see if the problem can be corrected from their end, if not through Mozilla. Again, it took a brief lapse in focus to grant this site permission to breach the private-window firewall, but nothing has worked so far to undo this mistake.
I welcome all helpful advice to this end, and I thank everyone in advance.

P.S.--- My apologies; I've tried to add a pair of JPEG images to this message, but they did not seem to want to upload (I was able to type out the entirety of this question, and finished well before the uploading of the first image did), so I won't be able to include them here for the time being. I will try to do so again at a later time.

Hello, I've been using Firefox since pretty much day one. I am a big Firefox fan, but this bug is causing me to re think it all.
My computer configuration is
Inter Xeon E5 1620 v3 processor 24GB DDR 4 RAM Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 (latest drivers installed) Windows 10 build 1803 x64
When switching to full screen, the video usually shutters, it is so annoying. To solve (not always), I have to close and re open firefox to free memory, but as you can see, memory is not my issue...I have a lot of memory.
Using GC browser works much better...I really don't want to switch to GC because I much prefer Firefox...but what can I do? This is getting too annoying, even for me.
Please assist...

Downloaded my Twitter data. Aside from media folders and a readme.txt file, it consists entirely of .js files, e.g. tweet.js. The readme describes the contents as JSON files, but they contain javascript code. When I open the files in Firefox 66 (Windows 7) or a text editor, I get the raw code, with text content embedded in the code. How do I execute the scripts to get the formatted content in the browser, short of writing more Javascript code?

I open Firefox and select a site to go to and get a drop down box
The proxy moz-proxy://us-west-009.whiskergalaxy.com:443 is requesting a username and password. The site says "Windscribe-Proxy"
Even after filling in username and password and hitting OK the box closes, the screen goes white, the site tries to connect and starts to open then immediately closes and the drop down box opens again. This keeps repeating.
I noticed if I open another window while this is going on the second window loads no problem. I realize I can clear everything and start clean but I'm sure you realize what a huge pain in the ass that is.
Firefox recently updated, like in the past week or so.
I took a screen shot but I cannot add it to this for some reason. I have also contacted Windscribe to see what might be going on on their side. FYI Things have been working perfectly between the two platforms until now.

I had been messing around, added all my e-mails from different providers as secondary o Firefox Sync account. Now I want to make a separate Sync accounts. The problem is I don't actually see them in the manage account page, which is weird. I try adding, it says it's verified by another user... uhhh, me? Also tried resetting & deleting the main account, all e-mails remained connected. Other users seem to have this problem, but while I have access to all e-mails (main e-mail of the Sync, and two other I want to separate), as I said, they don't even show up in Sync management. The request for help is: to whom do I send an e-mail at Mozilla, asking to remove/reset the e-mails.
Thanks in advance! Andrei

I cleared all of my browsing history to try and speed up my computer a bit. Lo and behold, when trying to fix my autofill options so that facebook.com comes up when I type f, twitter.com when i type t, etc. I cannot get rid of whatever random websites decide they want the spotlight.
I have already tries highlighting the problem sites with my arrow keys and pressing delete (also have tried shift+delete and crtl+delete and crtl+shift+delete) and the websites will not stop trying to be the top autofill result. I have never visited the autofill websites in the first place and have no clue what to do.

Hi there.
I play The Settlers Online (Flash based web game) but I'm having problems with Firefox 66.03 (64 bit) under Fedora Linux. Flash crashes the tab when the presentation is clicked. See attached.
This morning I have downloaded a fresh ISO of Fedora 29 and performed a fresh install, Insulated all available updates, rebooted, Installed the latest version of Flash plugin via Adobe, rebooted. Sadly still crashing when the game is loaded.
Flash 32 works fine under CentOS 7 which bundles Firefox 60.6.1 ESR however I prefer to use Fedora due to restricted hardware support under CentOS

I've been experiencing computer crashes which have prompted me to begin monitoring the console system log. In doing so, I've noticed that I regularly receive these sandbox message seemingly every time I open a new tab. Regardless of whether or not this is attributing to the crashes, I'd like to get a handle on this particular situation and either repair the sandbox relationship or disable further attempts at accessing entirely. Any assistance on the matter is greatly appreciated.

Since a few days, behaviour of my Firefox is different. When opening a submenu from the bookmarks toolbar, it closes immediately when I hit ctrl-key. Due to this, when I want to open a bookmarked page in a new tab, annoyingly I have to either right click to get the context menu with its entry "open in new tab" or open a new tab manually beforehand.
How to let display of bookmark menu surviving ctrl-key pressing?
Thanks, Peter

When I receive a dropbox link and click on it both computers will open the link fine in firefox however when I attempt to download the file, it works fine on one pc but the other displays a small red box at the top that says "download failed".

Sadly the HTML spec doesn't allow for the placeholder attribute on an <input type='date'...> field, so we have to find workarounds.
In Chrome, and Safari (iOS only, macOS has it's own issues) the hack following works (though annoyingly shws both palceholder and a truncated date picker), but the selector seems to be ignored in Firefox so we see the datepicker but no placeholder.
<style>
input[type='date']:before {
content: attr(placeholder)
}
</style>
<input type="date" name="dob" placeholder="Date of Birth " onfocus="this.placeholder=''" onblur="if (this.value==''){this.placeholder='Date of Birth '}">
I am hoping I'm just being dumb and missing something obvious, but any pointers are welcome ;)
