Recently Firefox in Ubuntu (latest version) has started adding a ?reload after every URL and in the event that there were parameters being passed, it replaces them. For example, it gives filename.php?reload when it originally had filename.php?ID=1. Since it's doing it primarily on my development sites, it makes it very difficult to reload a page when testing.

I have been using ytmp3.eu for quite a while with no problem. I use it to convert Youtube videos to mp3 music files. But recently some not welcome things have been happening. When first accessing the site to the site, I get a popup that Popup Blocker did not block. I added the site to their list with mixed success. When clicking the Convert Now box in ytmp3, another window opens up. Screen shots provided of the site with the Firefox results, and the Norton 360 results. Is it ytmp3 causing this, or something within Firefox that I can fix? I am using the latest version of Firefox. Version 72.0.2. Windows10 with all current updates installed. Appreciate any help you can give me. Les Braun

I had this problem with Safari & Chrome but I was able to fix it. I cannot get rid of "search manager." I have looked into all the items listed that I can find but every time I sign onto Firefox, I'm directed to search manager. I just open a new tab. It is NOT listed as one of the search engines. How can I get rid of it? My home page is a blank page.

Long running scripts have been a constance daily occurrence every time I use my desktop computer since seems like forever. This is the latest one: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-base-view.xml:198..... Not sure if they are all calendar scripts because I'm not always given any script info, just a non responding error message sometimes. I asked for help once before and tried what was suggested, as best I could, but I still have the aggravating problem just as often as ever. However, admittedly I'm not all that computer savy and am more of a user than I am a fixer. My browser is up-to-date and I also reloaded a new one recently. Add-ons are also disabled. Any help at all will be appreciated, thanks.

Today I noticed something strange on my phone. I opened up my FF browser and noticed a small warning icon on the bottom right. It said, my sync was not logged in and I had to enter my password and 2FA code. After entering these - which I have done quite some time ago already, I immediately got the mail telling me about the new log-in on my account. I mean, I know that it was me, I just logged in. But it got me suspicious because my mobile should already be logged in! So I followed the 'manage devices' link to check the list of my logged-in devices. What I have found is disturbing me. My device was now two times in that list: One saying 'this device' and one stating it is located in another country (USA), last seen a couple of hours ago. I'm from Europe and I certainly have never been in the USA! Of course I removed access immediately!
Is this possibly a bug or even a security breach, that an attacker can 'transfer' a log-in token to another device without any notification? It seems like my mobile's token was removed and so I had to re-log in here. And yes, I use unique passwords with a password manager and 2FA. The only notification I ever saw on this was that my mobile no longer was logged into my sync account!
Calendar stops working after Thunderbird & Lightning updated to 68.4.1

Provider for Google Calendar - 68.2.1 Thunderbird & Lightning - 68.4.1 Windows 10 Home 1909 (18363.592)
Almost all of the commands dealing with the calendar in Thunderbird are grayed out. My Google and other calendars no longer show up as an entry in the list of calendars. Individual calendar entries appear on calendar tab with existing info but are read only. I can not open/edit an individual calendar entry or create a new one.
I used to be able to recover from this situation by closing the calendar in Thunderbird and then closing Thunderbird. Create new event or edit an existing event by logging into Google Calendar directly. Logoff Google Calendar and then logon to Thunderbird and either open the Today Pane or the Calendar tab.
I have reported the problem on the forum for the Provider and been told that my problem looks like it has to do with Thunderbird and Lightning. I have tried several of the suggestions on this forum but they have not resolved the problem. The best result was with Safe Mode & Add-ons Disabled which lasted for just one application restart after doing that. Any help would be appreciated.

All of the sudden, Firefox shut down. It has happened before a couple of time, but when I opened it again, my previous session was restored. Not this time. All my tabs are gone, and "history" just shows the pages I recently opened, not the tabs that were abruptly closed. I would really appreciate any help you can provide.

Just migrated Thunderbird from PC to Mac. No passwords show up in password manager under preferences. I have checked save password box each time. Table is blank. Still, think I can get incoming mail by putting in passwords each time. But cannot send mail. Get message that server did not accept password. I know password correct because I can sign in online. I deleted key3.db from profile. There was also a key4.db that I did not delete. I have 5 email accounts, and all the same problem. Thank you.

I'm currently using macOS 10.14, had been using macOS 10.12. I'm currently on Firefox 72.0.1, but I think the problems described below go back to version 69 or so.
It seems like anything I do with Firefox means that it creates a new profile and I have to set my old profile as the default, launch in a new browser, and delete the new profile. By "anything" I mean: restarting the computer; logging out and back in; updating Firefox; quitting and relaunching Firefox. The last one doesn't always happen--sometimes I close Firefox, relaunch it, and everything is fine. Sometimes I close Firefox, relaunch it, and it's created a new profile and I have to go through the little dance setting it back to the old profile and deleting the new one. Actions like restarting the computer and logging out usually mean that the icon on the dock has been replaced by a question mark and I have to drag Firefox back down to the dock to get it down there again. This is tedious and annoying, so I'd really like to figure out how to just get Firefox to keep using the same profile unless I change it for some reason. Any suggestions?

I used Refresh and now realize my add-ons, extensions and theme have disappeared. There doesn't appear to be any way to add them back. I've followed the guidelines t\suggesting to copy from the Old Firefox Data folder into the current local folders but it made absolutely no difference. I can't use Firefox in this state. Is there some way to return to the version I had an hour ago.

Since FF 69 the starting (not the loading!) of websites frequently lasts more than 10 seconds under Xubuntu. The tab remains empty during this waiting time, while no sign of the loading process can be seen: The tab header shows no title, only the URL. The animated loading icon of the tab header is not shown. The status bar shows no activity. For about 5 to 20 seconds it looks like the tab is frozen. (See hardcopy.) This phenomenon occurs irregularly, but repeatedly, approximately with 10-20 percent of all calls, regardless of the requested URLs. It typically occurs piled within a random period, that lasts between a some seconds and several minutes. It also happens in safe mode, regardless of the used profile (even an unmodified new profile) and both in private an non-private windows. As far as I can judge, the troubleshooting Information shows no abnormalities. There are no issues with the internet connection. I've been using Firefox trouble-free for more than 10 years, but this phenomenon only occurred since Firefox 69.0.

Now I want to stop ALL nag screens. Websites advise about:config settings which don't exist.
