I'm having major problems with Firefox and was able to use it for a long time and I love the software to death. But it has given this problem that I have run into before which the only way I was able to fix it was a full wipe of my computer to factory settings. So with this I started to troubleshoot on what I could do and reinstall was the first and send commands to refresh the dns but I found to what seems to be a startup incomplete file in the Firefox software and it seems to create itself even when deleted. It could be this which is causing problems but all I know for certain that when I click on Firefox it won't open at all or startup. With the only evidence that it responded from task manager or a popup talking about wanting to refresh Firefox for 0.1 milliseconds

For no apparent reason, all Firefox 140.0.4 on Windows 10 crashed and when it was relaunched it did not restore any open tabs, reverting instead to the home page. All history is gone, no previously open tabs are windows appear in the history list. This computer has syncing enabled.

I used about: profiles on the Win 10 machine and it only shows the one that is currently in use. I copied the 2 files found in the along with places.sqlite into a temp directory. I did a search for index.dat and it is not found on the Win 10 computer.

Even worse: another computer running Win 11 that is syncing with the Win 10 machine is also now missing its history. Is there a way to recover from this?

Note: I am generating this from the Win 11 machine, not the problematic Win 10 machine.

Hello,

I am having an odd issue where I see flickering bands of cyan/purple blocks whenever I scroll on a page with some video embeds. At first I thought it was related to refresh rates (240hz) as some pages flickers but it occurs at 60hz as well.


2560 X 1600 Resolution with 125% windows scaling

Steps to reproduce: 1) have settings above 2) navigate to https://store.steampowered.com/ 3) view a storefront with a video embed 4) zoom to 180% 5) scroll up and down past the video

I use scoop to install firefox. then i changed the default profile to the Scoop profile. Then i tried to log in the mozilla account but it keep saying that it cannot continue because cookies or localstore are disabled. Then i checked the about:support page like i said in the titile, many configs are blank. Maybe some problems with the profile i guess. I also opened a issue in Scoop githup repo, they cant reproduce my problem. Where could go wrong? Any help would be appreciate!

And this is the issue i post on github https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/issues/15770

When I click on the grey Last Pass icon, a "set preferences" screen is shown. The strictly necessary box is selected and I cannot change it. The Voluntary data collection box is clickable but does not make any difference if it is checked or unchecked. The screen is locked, no matter what I click or unclick. The only thing that I can do is to click the grey LP icon which closes the window.

On two other very similar computers, when the grey icon is clicked, I can search for passwords, alerts, account, etc. Why does the icon work on this computer. I've deleted the addin, deleted Firefox and reloaded several times.

Thank you

Why am I getting a 403 Forbidden message when I'm trying to access www.UFC.com, the Ultimate Fighting Championship website??? This site is save in my Bookmarks and I've not had previous issues! Be advised that I tried to access it on MS Edge and had no problem at all!!! If this continues, or if more sites are "Forbidden", I'll happily scrap your server platform!
