My cable TV provider (ZIGGO, Netherlands) offers an extra service which makes it possible to watch TV with a normal browser, in my case FireFox 109.0 64b. You can watch 'live' and watch recent programs. Playing live gives only few amounts of harddisk write access. However (!!!) when I playback a recent program, Firefox writes 55 Mbyte/s to 2 caches on ..\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla and ..\AppData\Local\Mozilla. I was stupified when I discovered that 3 hours of watching recent programs wrote 1700 GB (1.7 TB) to my SSD by FireFox (according to Windows 10 Task Manager). This data is produced by FireFox since my 30 days usage of internet was only 30GB. I assume FireFox writes decompressed video to cache or something. I made a temporary fix by using symbolic links from ..\AppData to an old fashioned harddisk, which has a hard time writing, when looking "non live". I looked if ZIGGO installed some kind of plugin, but could not find it.

Hi, I am a photographer, and am currently working on my website. I don't know how this happened, but I noticed a mysterious Pin It icon on my site early January. I had a Pinterest account (unused), which I deleted, thinking I could get rid of this pesky thing. Now I have no Pinterest account, but 2 Pin It icons. Bizarrely, they only show up on Firefox, not Chrome. (I use Firefox 99% of the time.) Could you please advise me? Thank you very much, Anne Saint-Pierre

I no longer can log into Walgreens but I can on Edge (who I HATE) I've tried the following: 1. Close Firefox and reopen it. 2. Tried reboot my computer 3. Cleared cookies. 4. Clear cache. WALGREENS.COM: I get a red pop up that states "We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this service is currently unavailable.

MICHAELS.COM: (firefox has the password saved) when I use that login, it just brings me back to the Michaels home page but I am not logged in. If I manual type it all in.... it gives me this: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.michaels.com/Account?" on this server. Reference #18.8ef4d517.1674517774.411c3b08

I would really prefer to stay with Firefox and I have used it for years (as well as Thunderbird) but it is really insane that I have to go to Edge every week to place orders.

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Context menu and tab bar unexpected behavior after last update (109.0, 64-bit)

After Firefox’s latest update (109.0 - 64-bit) I am experiencing several bugs.

I’ve narrowed it down to two things:

  • Context and dropdown menus do not appear, yet they are present (if I click where they would be the intended behavior happens). This happens for both the menu bar and the toolbar, as well as when doing right click in any website.
  • I cannot move tabs along the tab bar.

No extension is causing this since I have disabled all of them.

Is some else experiencing these or similar issues?

If these are not common problems, does anyone know what could be causing them and how to solve them?

Thanks in advance!

It's NOT just Bookmarks but topic did not have a good choice.

My problem is that Firefox is opening with the wrong version? When I click a link in another program, like Discord or some others, it does not open with MY version, with the tabs and menus, etc. And if I try to save a bookmark it does not have MY saved bookmarks? So to get around this I copy the URL, open MY real Firefox, paste the URL into it, press enter to go there and then save I my bookmark. If I open my Firefox with a link to Firefox EVERYTHING is normal. It's ONLY when I try opening a link in a different program.

PLEASE Help, I don't know what is wrong. This only started about 10 days agO??

Dear all,

Pretty much the same as mentioned here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1299343

The video in that link explains it.

The menu bar keeps appearing/disappearing at a high frequency, randomly - and a key press will stop the glitch for a few seconds - or when firefox is not in focus. Tried cleaning, removing, without pluggins, setting the ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses etc etc. Now running the Beta, still same problem. For a while I suspected iCue and Corsair Strafe keyboard - or USB settings, ports, but nothing obvious. Also weird only Firefox suffers from it in that case.

The weird thing is it can go ok for 4-5 hours but then the next day it's back again - once in this state it's unusable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Best,

Alex

In an email, when I click on "click here to view it in a web browser," zillions of Firefox tabs open. This happens with emails from different senders, but they work fine elsewhere.

Here is what the zillions of tabs have in the address box: file:///C:/Users/Glynis/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/JIB181TP/email%20(004).mht

I have a PC running Windows 10 and use Microsoft Outlook desktop on Exchange.

So on my phone i have installed mona sans font via miui themes (seems like its not caused by miui themes)

I'm have tried font manager magisk module before and after knowing that it wont really work on my device, i revert to default font and uninstall it

And for some reason the fonts just look like this... (everything works fine)

Is there anything that can fix this?

Tried method: using another version of firefox [stable,beta(current),nightly] Use revert to roboto fonts on miui themes

Chromium dont have this issue

There is temporary fix for it by using font changer add-ons

I want it to fix without usint any add-ons

Hello everyone, I was here recently since nothing in Firefox wanted to load, but I fixed that by using old sessionstore.jsonlz4 so I guess that session was corrupted.

New problem: Everyday when I start my PC and Firefox it keeps crashing over and over until I use an old working sessionstore file again. So it seems that everytime Firefox tries to save my current session with nothing changed/ different from the backup it corrupts it and I have to use the old backup again - which obviously sucks since no matter what I open/ do today it will be "deleted" again tomorrow.

The only "interesting" thing the crash report shows is MozCrashReason: Failed to load critical module "resource://gre/modules/WebNavigation.jsm" but I will share the troubleshooting information below if that helps.

My only idea left is to save the most important tabs and wipe everything else off my Firefox to see if that helps - but if it doesnt then I have to restore my old session yet again and all progress is lost again no matter what I do.

Any ideas are appreciated especially since I didnt change anything relevant about my system or Firefox in recent times so I have no Idea where all of these problems come from all of a sudden.
