This happens with multiple sites, so it is a Firefox BUG issue.

  1. 1 - When I go to login at "office.com/setup" I try to set up a new account because I don't recall my login.
  2. 2 - I type in my login name, example: "email@domain.com"
  3. 3 - Surprisingly it says choose another email, that one is in use.
  4. 4 - SO, I go back out and try again only THIS time I try logging in with my email because it is ME, not a new person
  5. 5 - Then it sends me to a NEW window to change my pwd.

I enter NEW pwd twice. It sends me back to the login page, I enter my new info and it sends me back to enter my NEWER password twice again. I fall for it and enter ANOTHER NEW PWD.

  1. 6 - It sends me back out to login AGAIN, then it asks me to enter my NEW password twice again.
  2. 7 - repeat #6 indefinitely

This has happened to me at my bank and Microsoft office download. These two companies are NOT related. But I am using Firefox both times. SUGGESTIONS??? My bank locked me out for too many attempts to get in. On and ON and ON and ON.

Firefox is telling me I can't use the JUB site because it's embedded, I don't know what that means? I've been using the site for over a year and I've never had a problem with Firefox. All of a sudden I'm having issues. I want to resolve this because I want to continue to use this site.

In the last three or four weeks, while typing a reply in gmail or making a comment in Youtube, for instance, a console window pops up at the bottom of the screen. Very annoying. Never happened until recently. I can't figure out how to make it stop. I will NEVER need to use the console window.

Hey guys, thanks for the help in advance.

This problem occurred recently and it's quite a pain in the ass. I'm using Macbook Pro 14 inches with M1 Max chip. Lately when I work, I have to open quite many urls at the same time, and my mac went crazy hot because of firefox's insane cpu usage. I tried what's suggested to turn off the acceleration mode, but still, nothing changes.

Is there still anything I can do to resolve it? or I just switch to other browser?

Hello, in our house we have 3 personal computers and there are 6 users. I have moved all user profiles to NAS. It includes Desktop, My documents, Firefox and Thunderbird profiles, etc. File "profiles" stored in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox is same for every user: [Install308046B0AF4A39CB] Default=\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Home\Firefox Locked=0

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path=\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Home\Firefox Default=1

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

Sometimes, when user starts computer, then Firefox error message appears: "Firefox is already running..." I am sure user is not running Firefox on two computers at the same time.

In my opinion, it is problem of improper closing of Firefox, even sequence "Close Firefox, when it is closed shutdown Windows" is followed. So far I solved it by deleting parental.lock file, but it is not easy job for every user. Could you tell me what I made wrong or maybe it is something beyond me?

Thank you in advance for support.

Microsoft have recovered my data, which is bookmarks etc from an action performed by a Microsoft engineer, who inadvertently wiped my laptop. The file isn't readable to Microsoft, but it contains all my Firefox bookmarks etc. Would be nice to have all my bookmarks back.


Is there a Mozilla support desk I can send this file so it can be 'translated' into a readable file? Thanks

Hello - I keep searching for various fixes to this, but nothing seems to work. I have the latest version of firefox. Macbook user. Catalina 10.15 I find that with almost any website that I'm trying to log into, or enter a credit card and other information, the browser does not show these items, pull downs, forms to fill in etc. I'll go thru a whole process of something, and will be directed to click a box or some such that just isnt there. So I move over to Safari, and the entire page loads. I've adjusted the privacy, cleared cache etc. It's like I'm on an ancient browser.

Any help welcome.

Can someone please alleviate my sudden sudden onset of paranoia and tell me that this is what I suspect it is? That it's just your standard dev tools any user would have, and that a company could configure in deployment to work phones. I exceeded my IT tech talk comfort-level about 32 words ago, and now I'm faking it. I'll try to project confidence.

I don't believe I've ever used InTune on any personal device, but I have on work phones in the past. I mention InTune only because the last time I did use it to load company apps onto a personal phone was in 2016, and it would feel pretty creepy if this had managed to migrate across several years and several organizations to land on my new phone. And, to be clear, I really didn't get uncomfortable until I saw the apps under Flagfox, with an IP tracker, etc. I have a couple exes who have psycho exes; the kind who manipulate their child into putting a keylogger on their ex-wife's machines.

Screenshots in order of rising alarm and intensity of goosebumps.

Thanks- Dave.

LoL... As soon as I hit Share Data, I see those apps bringing up my data to help you troubleshoot, thereby answering my question, but I'll post it anyway. Hopefully, someone gets a laugh out of it.

Is SimplyCodes a safe add-on to Firefox? Aside from the safety question, I noted that at least 2 FF reviewers of SimplyCodes stated that no discount registered for them upon checkout, so it seems they added it to Add-Ons for nothing.

I don't use a smartphone, rather just a home thinkpad. Might that cause promo-codes to malfunction for me too? If SimplyCodes really is safe, and wouldn't malfunction, then I'd go for it. Thanks to anyone who can offer informed feedback.

Ever since I loaded 120.0.1 (64 bit) I have had problems accessing numerous sites. For example, https//HOn30.org. FIrst I get several "Having trouble ..." messages, and when it does come up it's a blank screen. I have had this happen wtih Library of Congree, eBay, and most sites from linking within another web site. I have tried playing with the "HTTPS mode" and the "DNS over HTTPS" to no avail. What changed with this version and how do I fix it. Win10 Sp1 64bit Dual Xeon E5 CPUs 128gb RAM nVidia Quadro K5200 w/8gb VRAM C: = 1tb CT1024 SSD (Crucial) D: = 2tb 7200 rpm WD E: = 5tb SSD (Samsung) F: = 1.5tb Seagate (can you tell I used to be tech support?)
