Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

• (Nope - computer not eligible to upgrade to Win 11. My processor isn't fast enough, I think.)

After I sync it with the Firefox browser on my laptop it crashes on my iPhone. I've done everything from updating my phone software to updating the app. Restarting and deleting and reinstalling and resyncing the accounts. Once I sync it the phone app crashes. I prefer to have Firefox as my default browser but now I'm having second thoughts.

Appreciate the help. Thank you in advance.

У меня Windows 11 Pro, скачивал firefox с прав администратора, но обычно после установки в правом верхнем углу появляется значок входа в аккаунт фаерфокс, которого сейчас у меня нету. Прошу если кто-то знает ответ или сталкивался с проблемой - помогите, мне срочно нужны пароли, которые остались на аккаунте

Gmail works on my phone (Android), Chrome, Opera, etc. It will no work in Firefox that I have used religiously for over 10 years. I've signed out of gmail and signed in...a dozen times. Nothing works. If I wish to read my emails, I switch to Opera

Why?

I usually have a lot of pages open on Firefox and the display in the dock gets packed, if you will. I would like to see an option in the settings to turn the dock display off, just for your program, Firefox. It would be nice to toggle this option. I've searched for about an hour trying for an option and a solution. Thanks for your good works. I'm on an early Mac Mini 15.7.1

Take care. Have fun. //... Joe [edited email from public community support forum]

This issue just started recently, say within the past 2 weeks Mid September forward.

Only happens in Firefox, Chrome not having an issue. Open Facebook tab and it opens fine then after 10-30 seconds, it crashes with this error "This page isn't available right nowThis may be because of a technical error that we're working to get fixed. Try reloading this page."

Have disabled all extensions, cleared cache multiple times with no success.

Appreciate any other suggestions on fixing as I'm not a big fan of Edge. Old school. lol

Thanks - Dan

Hello,

Google Drive today stopped loading properly. I keep getting the rotating circle or "working" in the lower left corner of the browser window. I can get it to load fine in Safari and Chrome.

Docs and sheets I already had open, I seem to be able to interact with and edit normally. But navigating the main file path in Google drive, opening folders, and opening files isn't working.

I would really prefer to not switch browsers, as my entire workflow is set up on Firefox.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Sarah

On some of my websites information is blocked. For example on my main bank site I can sign in to the site but all of my banking information is blocked so there is no account information. On my VA website I have a similar situation with information being blocked. for example I go to the messenger section and cannot see or write messages.

Thunderbird mail prints html code Web solution: View > Cuerpo del mensaje como > Texto sin formato Lo anterior no funciona, es bastante grave el problema.

Hello, Can Firefox not use Google's safe browsing because there are some big conflict of interests. If website owners do not put google's codes in their website, Google will block their website or flag it as deceptive. This may become a large legal issue later. Only once the website user verifies with Google, will this be cleared. I run over 400 websites (all of the same codes) and the websites that I verify with Google were all blocked with a notice that the sites were deceptive. There are no difference in codes with the site that were verified and none were blocked. So I had to upload Google's codes to each website to clear the blockage. There were no phishing, no spamming, and nothing deceptive about any of the websites. The only difference was they were not verified with Google. Thus this forces website owners to put Google's codes on their website which is giving Google way too much control over the internet. I thought firefox was not controlled by any other company such as Google. If I use other browsers such as Microsoft's Edge, none of my website had any issues. Please do not use Google services as that gives too much control to Google. In addition, Google's Captcha is really another obstacle.

I installed Firefox on my new computer. It imported setting from Chrome. That's not what I wanted at all. Now, I can't get rid of that information that was imported because it synced. How do I get rid of this data permanently? I have Firefox on my old computer but I don't want to connect online for fear it will sync and contaminate my other Firefox installations. How do I clean out my online profile?

Hi, first problem w/ Firefox I believe. youtube player is blacked out on embedded media and white screen on the youtube site.

Youtube plays on Edge and troubleshoot mode fixes Firefox. Is there any quick way to narrow down the offending extension(s)?

Thanks, mike
