Hi, I'm using Linux Mint 22, Firefox 129.0 (64-bit). Browser is hanging after approximately 4 hours. Not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but this is where I'm starting the troubleshooting process. My suspects are (1) the browser, (2) NVIDIA drivers (3) the new Linux Mint kernel or possibly (4) a mix of the above. This was a fresh install with default options on (Wilma). Using the latest graphics drivers for GeForceRTX 2060, driver version 555.58.02, went down to native drivers, no change. Honestly, this one has me baffled. Been troubleshooting this for 3 days. It feels like a memory leak. Nothing on the crash reports. First, browser will hang, then mouse and keyboard. Hard reboot is the only option. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to manage Firefox for company devices via Intune and would like to know if there is a way to uninstall all extensions/add-ons besides one or two approved ones.

I have been able to import the Firefox AMDX into Intune and have made a policy to install uBlock (which works without issue) and I can uninstall specific extensions/add-ins via their Extension ID (also without issue), however I can't see a way to uninstall all extensions. If I try and put a wildcard in the Extension ID field, nothing is affected.

We have a large number of devices with their own user-installed extensions so auditing this and then updating a policy manually with specific extension IDs may be quite painful.

For some reason I cannot type anything in Google Docs on the Firefox Desktop Browser. In fact, it seems like the browser doesn't recognize that I'm using Google Docs at all - in my attempts to see what was up I tried to bold a word to see what would happen, but the Ctrl + B shortcut opened the Firefox bookmarks tab instead. This is happening across all my Google Accounts, but only on Firefox and only in Docs - I can edit sheets and forms without issue, I can edit them all on my Android through the google apps, and I can edit them in another browser.

This is an issue that happened suddenly yesterday and I cannot think of anything that's caused it. I double checked that I had editing permissions on these docs, asked the people who owned them to remove me and re-add me but no luck. I have cleared cache and cookies, logged out and back, restarted the browser, and restarted my computer. Though I haven't changed anything with my extensions recently, I tried deactivating and reactivating everything I had. None of this caused any difference and I still cannot edit. I've also tried a user-agent switcher to see if that could help, but no dice. It really does seem like the issue is firefox not recognizing Google Docs is Google Docs and I'm not sure what the fix for that would be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When trying to use one particular website on Firefox, I get a message that I am blocked because of an ad blocker but I have not turned on any ad blocker in Firefox. How do I find out if an ad blocker is enabled on my Firefox and, if so, how do I turn it off? I have ensured that the ad blocker option in settings is unchecked and even added this web site to permissions but to no avail. Can someone help? Here is the message I get but none of the steps in this message I am told to take show up on my screen:

Adblock Plus Instructions

   Click the AdBlock Plus icon in the extension bar.
   Beneath “Block ads on”, click the large blue toggle next to “This website”.
   Click refresh.

Were these instructions helpful?

This is something that I've noticed for a while, but why is it that whenever I go to Twitch and try to open a live stream, it always comes out muted? This does not happen if I use Twitch on other browsers, or on my phone.

On two occasions all of the favicons for my Bookmarks have disappeared. The only way I have been able to restore them is to open each bookmark using "Open All in Tabs" for each Bookmark folder. As I have many hundreds of Bookmarks, this is an extremely time consuming process. I have done this twice. I have just encountered a third instance of this problem and would like to avoid doing it again if there is any other way to restore the favicons.

I had saved the favicons.sqlite files from the Profile, but I am unaware of any way to restore the favicons directly from this file. The favicons.sqlite file appears to be of the proper size, i.e. ~17KB. On the last occasion, following a suggested solution, I rebuilt the iconcache hoping it would also rebuild the favicons, but that was not the case. As a result, I used the above process.

Any solutions to restore the Bookmark favicons without opening all with "Open All in Tabs" would be greatly apprecuated. I don't know what has caused the favicons to disappear. I am running Firefox 129.0.2 on a Windows 11 Pro PC.

Hi there, after turning on my computer in the morning, Firefox has been suddenly rendered utterly inoperable and pulls up a PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR for all websites. No matter what I do, including all other fixes previously suggested on the Mozilla forums and elsewhere, nothing seems to work.

Things that I've already tried and did not work include: - Pausing Kaspersky Internet Security - Resetting WiFi router - Switching to a different WiFi - Turning on troubleshooting mode - Resetting Firefox entirely - Creating a new profile - Reinstalling Firefox (several times) - Installing Firefox for Developers - Flushing DNS - Turning off proxy settings

I really don't want to be forced to use Google Chrome. Is there anything else that I can possibly do that can fix this?

Hello friends,

As the title of the subject entails, I am trying to disable Firefox's new translation tool, becasue I'm using a 3rd party extension.

I tried to follow the solution on the following support thread ( [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1434741#question-reply] ), but it didn't work for me, and I'm still seeing the new translate button.

Is there another way to fix this?

I'm using Firefox 129.0.1 (64bit) for MacOS.

After 129.0 update, Hulu streaming quit working. I have other streaming services that still work fine. I tried it on older version of Firefox 115.14.0esr (64bit) (old pc Win 8.1) and it works fine there. Can I go back to an older version of Firefox or is this a known issue with update?

This is the issue, Hulu website loads and allows you to log in. When you try to stream a show, it plays a commercial then freezes.

This issue is happening with every newly installed add-on, but not with add-ons installed on or before Aug 3, 2024. The add-ons are installed via addons.mozilla.org. To rule out the possibility that it's happening only with specific add-ons, I also installed one of the random recommendations on that page, Augmented Steam which has 54,248 users, and it happens with that one as well.

I'll click Enable, but the prompt appears every time I restart Firefox.

What I've tried (with a restart after each attempt):

  • Clear the startup cache
  • Delete extensions.json
  • Delete compatibility.ini
  • Via about:config deleted extensions.databaseSchema and extensions.getAddons.databaseSchema
  • Excluded Add-ons from syncing

I've noticed the following in extensions.json for each of the recent add-ons after restart:

  • syncGUID changes to presumably random new value
  • active changes from true to false
  • userDisabled changes from false to true
  • seen changes from true to false
