First and biggest problem: When I scroll through a page it freezes up somewhere and whatever is in view gets drawn out. I have unistalled, deleted everything connected to Firefox and reinstalled it. Thought for a few minutes, YES it worked and then. Nope. Back on square one. And this ONLY happens in Firefox. No other program or browser.
Also... now I have lost my English grammar/spellcheck and have no idea how to get it back. Really annoying when every single word is redmarked.
OK; uploading screen shot of problem isn't working either. Fun Fun Fun. It's only 26kb. No picture then.
I have used Firefox for years as it has been one of the best browsers for some of the sites I use. Today? NOT AT ALL. I give up.

I have a bookmarks folder with many links and many folders and subfolders to organize them (15+years worth). I am very good about deleting any unwanted bookmarks and I also even change the titles to make them more concise. But despite my efforts at organization, firefox freezes and stalls every time I try to make even the slightest change to one of these bookmarks (ie change the title or location of the bookmark using bookmarks manager) and then I have to wait 10 - 15 seconds for firefox to make the change and unfreeze itself so I can move on. As a result it is becoming intolerable to even use anymore. I imported the same exact bookmarks into chrome and it doesn't have any of these delays. I do not sign into chrome whereas my firefox has my account linked to several other devices. Is that why my firefox bookmarks are so slow to update (because it takes so long to send the updated info to the central server that then has the info ready for next login from that or another device)? If so then am I going to have to just stop using my firefox sync acct and to go back to a cloudless bookmarks folder with no ability to sync between my laptop, desktop &tablet just to avoid waiting 10-15 between adding or making any change to bookmarks before continuing to work? Would having the sync only apply to two devices make it sync faster than if I have 3 or 4 devices with my sync acct linked? Eliminating bookmarks is not an acceptable solution...like I said I am already good about renaming and organizing them (or at least when that function used to work in a timely manner). Thank you for your help!

Firefox v49.0.1 asking to Enable Add-ons Every Time I use Firefox on 3 different PCs!
I keep having this occur every time I fire up Firefox on all three machines. I am using Windoze 7 64 bit.
I have read an earlier thread and tried deleting the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, , extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
[The two files addons.sqlite and extensions.sqlite don’t seem to exist.]
I have also “Refreshed” but the joy still keeps coming! I have checked the update facility and all addons are reported as fine.
However I have two plugins that appear in red; Adobe Acrobat and Java Deployment Toolkit which are both disabled. A further extension Abobe Create PDF is also shown disabled.
I would really like to removed the above but cannot find a method to do this.
Any wise guidance will be greatly appreciated for it will be a shame to dump Firefox but it is really beginning to impede on workflow given it appears every time FF is started which can be hundreds of times a day. Regrettably the option of IE after all these years is pretty unpalatable and Chrome will never happen!
Help!

Does this mean these are no longer usable?

Hello,
Since version 48 of Firefox I have constant memory leaks when visiting the Facebook website.
This only happens on this website and results in my RAM (8GB) being completely used, after that the browser becomes very slow and than it crashes everything; so all other websites and downloads are all gone :(
In the mean time I even installed my OS again but nothing changed.
This is clearly only with Firefox that this happens.
Even before version 48 there where no problems.
I use firefox 49.0.1 now and Windows 7 X64.
Thanks
Sebastian

I would really like to be able to get back Browse by name functionality. I have to go through this every few iterations of updates. Was previously using Keyword Search, however that seems to have stopped working since the latest update to 49.0.1. Is there anyway to bring it back?
Thank you.

Hello! I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint. This started a day ago. Last update was even few days earlier. I tried to click on the scroll bar and the browser crashed, since then every click on an empty space of the web page causes crash. So if I click on buttons, links, etc. it is OK. Very strange. I didn't find a bug like this on Google.

Whenever I start firefox and it goes to my homepage, currently set as Google a phantom search bar appears at the top of the page. This appears to be some sort of injected code in the webpage to create an illusion of a search bar. It can be inspected by Firefox and it is HTML code not an addon. How do I remove this?

I've encountered this problem on multiple websites, but at the moment it's forums.nexusmods.com that's giving me trouble.
Trying to log in to the forums. The forum index page does not require HTTPS. I click "sign in", and a (probably AJAX) dialog appears for entering username and password. I enter them, and click the sign in button. Firefox tries to load the next page, which is an HTTPS page, and fails with a "Secure Connection Failed" error message (see link 1). There is no option to add a security exception.
If I go back to the forums' index page and attempt to force it to use HTTPS there (either by manually adding the "s" to the protocol in the address bar or with the "HTTPS Everywhere" extension), I get the same problem—Secure Connection Failed, no option for adding an exception.
I normally use Waterfox rather than regular Firefox, but I tried using Firefox to work around this problem, and both are exhibiting the exact same behavior.
However, the site works just fine in Chrome, even with HTTPS Everywhere active.

OS : Windows 7 x64 I was using Firefox 48.0.2 (x64) - french version. I manually downloaded and installed Firefox 49.0 (x64). After installation, Firefox does not start : - the firefox.exe process is running, using something between 5000 and 65000 Mb of memory - nothing else happens : the process does nothing, using 0% CPU
I've seen this issue : - on several PC's of my organization - after automatic update or manual update - after having deleted my Firefox profile - after having disabled Kasperky Antivirus
I've noticed that the last version of Firefox Developer Edition has the same behaviour : install OK, won't start.
Going back to previous version is OK : Firefox starts again.

I had a major update of Windows10 automatically, a few days ago since then my battery dies very quickly when I looked up laptopmag.com/articles/battery-saver-windows-10> I eventually found where I could look at what was using the battery up. It stated that firefox is using 49% of battery each time the laptop is turned on. Could someone tell me how I fix this please. Never had any problems before the Windows10 update.

Since updating to Firefox 49.0.1 on Vista (I know, switching to 10 this month!) longer web pages will render incorrectly. After scrolling down 3 to 5 page heights in distance the page renders as a smear of vertical lines. If it's halfway through a picture, the picture is smeared so a single row of pixels turns into vertical lines taking up the page (see my attachment). Scrolling down further will eventually get past it, but an area of the page is missing. Also, switching tabs does seem to clear the bug. I tried a Refresh of Firefox and it cleared it at first, then the problem returned when I turned the menu bar and bookmarks toolbar to visible again. This happens a lot with longer pages such as Twitter and Instagram feeds and forums. Switching tabs gets around it but it's annoying! Thanks, Billy
Why does my download stop suddenly? A lot of bandwith is being wasted uneccessarily.
My download always stops if it exceeds 1 gb. Please look into it and solve my problem.

I am using Firefox 49.0.1 on WIndows 7 Enterprise machine with dual screen configuration. I have this persistent white bar at the bottom of the window for any websites that I am browsing. Besides the web content, it is covering the down arrow of the scroll bar and any Firefox notifications. I tried disabling add-ons and installing a fresh copy. The white is, well, persistent. This happens only maximised and opened on one of the screen.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the newest flash program. I've done all the steps in the troubleshooting page for Adobe Flash, nothing seems to work. Netflix doesnt work, yet I can watch youtube. Anyone know whats up?
