Up until a month ago, I was able to download gifs from the giphy.com as actual GIFs. What has changed in Firefox and how can I troubleshoot this so I can get the desired file format of GIF?

Firefox losing all of my session history is an inevitability. I have encountered this problem on many cases over the past decade, be it due to an update, a power failure, a BSOD, or just randomly (despite closing the application correctly); like a law of nature, eventually firefox will just forget to open a window, or the entire session. This issue has caused me to switch to other web browsers in the past, multiple times. They each struggle with this in their own way.

Sometimes I can save my session by finding it in the sessionstore-backups folder, but the problem I am talking about is that that does not always work! Often times the backups get overwritten when the problem occurs - even if I don't touch firefox or open it again or close it, even if I immediately notice that a window that was there when I previously opened firefox is no longer there, often times nothing in the backup files actually has the version that I want. It's always overwritten with the new/modified session that's missing hundreds or thousands or tabs from my session restore history.

I think that the ability to actually restore a session and not have to cross my fingers that it doesnt blow up and delete my entire history (which randomly occurs at least once every few months) is the biggest problem with firefox. It is the most frustrating thing that any web browser can do. And quite frankly even if I wanted to use Firefox Sync to store my session information on a remote server (which I do not!) I do not actually trust that firefox will actually not fumble it and randomly delete my session every few months, given the history of how this problem has existed as long as I have been using this software. At least with the local sessions, sometimes I can recover some of the data, which isn't an option when firefox sync inevitably drops my session history. I am on the verge of setting up some kind of recurring task to back up the session store files on a regular basis just so I don't go crazy.

So: why does this problem exist? Is there a long running thread about why the session restore system sucks? Will it ever get fixed (even having multiple backups or the ability to manually save a backup in the UI would be a major improvement)? Are there community supported tools to fix this problem by saving extra copies of the sessionstore files?

I get an invitation to a zoom meeting complete with zoom link. I accept it. When I look at the calendar event, I can see the organizer and attendees but the zoom meeting link and all other details are missing. To join the meeting, I have to search my mail looking for the matching meeting invite. This can be hard since I get invites from several accounts and filtered into many mailboxes. And the meeting names can be the same from week to week.

And to make things worse, there is no reminder set and I cannot edit the event manually to add back in the zoom link.

The invitation arrives via Gmail and is accepted into a secondary calendar (not the calendar associated with the gmail account but a calendar I added to that account so still a google calendar. And I can edit the notes in google calendar.)

Is this really the intended behaviour or is my TB install messed up?

Just lately after decade plus of using Firefox I am getting computer hung up, nothing running but Firefox with 7 tabs open. That is how I been running FF for years, same 7 tabs open and no problems until a coupler months ago. I am on Windows 10 64 bit current with May updates, 12GB main memory, Intel Core i5 @ 3.20GHz, 500 GB WD HDD. The task manager right now is showing 49 FF processes running. All is well right now, but maybe by end of day or tomorrow it will hang up. Right now Virtual memory is set at 14838. I have it set at automatic manage paging file. My hard drive has 281 GB free space. Below is a warning error I see when FF hangs and sends in a report.

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: firefox.exe (9264) consumed 41230716928 bytes, firefox.exe (1824) consumed 1195388928 bytes, and vmmem (1768) consumed 515567616 bytes.

BTW I am on FF 126.0

I was removing some extensions that no longer worked. Just 2 video extensions, then I changed my current theme and my monitor black screened for a moment. Afterwards, all of my tabs were on the top. I've tried to chang them in the about:config. Added code in several chrome folders specified, and it still won't go to the bottom. Can we just get a simple setting check mark box? This is incredibly frustrating.

TWO issues: 1. TB use to display emails in the INBOX immediately. Now I have to click another folder then go back to Inbox for the emails to be visible.

2. Emails with the red flame are junk emails. I think those use to automatically go to the Junk folder but now they're showing up in my Inbox and I have to manually send them to Junk folder. Am I wrong on this or has something changed?

I noticed yesterday with version 115.4.2 32-bit (I just updated now) that an e-mail, part of a correspondence, would not load. Actually it did load but it seems to have permanently replaced the original message with a completely different e-mail from a different sender. But the From and the Subject lines pertained to the e-mail that was supposed to be there. The replacement message, if it matters, is an e-transfer notification, again, from a completely different sender.

I noticed then that a few other e-mails show only code data in the body. This is loading from a Gmail account which appears to be intact when I log in there directly.

I was also concerned when I first went to open Thunderbird from the taskbar, that a Win 10 pop-up appeared as I hovered over to click the icon, showing "recent" e-mails from all different dates, most of them well in the past and certainly not accessed recently. This has me concerned about a security breach.

PS: When I tried to remove the "recent" e-mails pop-up menu I accidentally deleted the taskbar shortcut and now can't get it back. Well, I can but the TBird icon won't reload and it just shows up as a blank icon.

Good afternoon,

If necessary, I am available to add more information about this case (145005), in English or Portuguese.

in looking at my history I only have dates for Most Recent Visit, nothing for Added or Last Modified. How can I get this information? I added a screenshot showing the (3) columns.

Hi, I'm having issues with Firefox running on macOS. It says "server not found" and I've tried pretty much everything, but it's still not working. I've followed all the steps on the wiki, but nothing has helped. My internet connection is fine, as Safari is running just fine.

Today I started seeing a new symbol to the left of the Subject line in the Inbox on one of my accounts. I have not seen this before and cannot find an explanation for it. I could find nothing when reviewing changes and new features.

I have attached a screen shot below.

hi,

I AM USING NEXT.JS IN ORDER TO CREATE A GEOLOCATION TRACKING APP WITH LEAFLET. THE WEB APP RUNS PERFECT ON CHROME AND OPERA IS FASTA AND ACCURATE. (WITH HIGR PRECCISION ON)

IN FIREXOF IS MERY SLOW AND VERY INNACURATE

THE SETTING I TRIED (AFTER MANY TRIES) ARE

const useLocation = ({

 enableHighAccuracy = true,
 timeout = 10000,
 maximumAge = 0,

}

IN ORDER TO HAVE AN ESTIMATION O THE ERROR IN CHROM FOR A WALTO OF 1 MIN I GOT 92 POINTS OF COLACTION WITH CORRECT LAT AND LOG. IN FREFOX I GOT 11, FOR THE SAME WOLK IN THE SAME TIME AND ALL WAS ON THE SAME LOCATION LIKE I WAN NOT MOVING (WHILE I MOVED ABOUT 100 METERS)

A SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN A SAVED THE PERMTITION TO ACCEPT ALWAYS THE GEOLOCATION FOR THE PAGE , ON THE NEXT VISIT THE ACCES WAS SET TO BLOCKED.

VERSION

FIREFOX BETA 127.0B9 2024-05-31

FINALY RELATED TO THE PERMITIONS, I DO HAVE A BUTTON TO ASK FIRST TO PRESS AND THEN ASK FOR A PERMITION

Please help if you can

Since yesterday I've been unable to sign into Earthlink webmail. I worked with their chat support this morning, clearing cache, history, etc., but no luck. I'm able to sign in on Edge. So Earthlink suggested I contact you.

Thanks for your time.
