Firefox worked fine for about 20 minutes but now it's hanging. I tried downloading the latest version, changed the places.sqlite filename to places.sqlite.old but nothing works. Help!

After upgrading to firefox-bin-96.0 on Gentoo Linux, I found that a number of extensions are malfunctioning.

uBlock Origin: 1) Not blocking content. All ads appear. I see this error message in the console: Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. | content_script.js

2) Toolbar icon does not show blocked items count (probably due to above)

3) Clicking toolbar icon causes resulting popup to appear as a vertical line (normal height but just a couple of pixels wide) with no content.

4) Going to Add-on settings and choosing "Preferences" from the add-on's 3-dot menu, the resulting tab crashes.

5) After removing and re-installing the add-on, its button does not appear on the toolbar.

6) After creating a blank profile and installing the add-on, all the above still happens.

7) After downgrading to firefox-bin-95.0.1, all the above still happens.

Ghostery: 1) Works on first install (did not previously have this installed); but after restarting Firefox, no longer works.

2) Breakage symptoms similar to uBlock Origin: No blocked items counter (and no blocking). Preferences tab still works though.

Multi-Account Containers: 1) Clicking on toolbar icon opens normally-sized but empty popup.

2) Opening a site that's configured to open in a container from a New Tab page tile, the site opens but *not* in the configured container (tab edge is not highlighed in container's colour-code).

Help a young old carpenter someone please> I'm not real bright with Computer tech but I am trying to contact my Bank support team. I log in to my account using Firefox 95.0.2 and everything is currently updated windows included but every time I finish writing and attaching the files requested I get the attached error message below . All my browser settings are set as they are supposed to be and this is maddening. I really would appreciate any help because it makes no sense to me I'm online and this is the only issue I'm having I just sent 2 email's earlier. Also I am the administrator of my laptop so I'm really confused. Remember be nice to your elders we didn't grow up in this tech world like you young people . LOL Thanks I hope some of you are getting a good laugh . Laughing is healthy and hey I'm laughing at me too. Have a great day Sincerely

I need to automate the deployment of Firefox along with the extensions. I put three extensions (uBlock, Translate Web Pages, and Auto Tab Discard) in the /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/. All extensions load normally, except Auto Tab Discard. When running firefox with the -jsconsole option, I see what the screenshot shows (the message "Invalid addon ID"). But the installation to user profile is successful. I add the extension ID to manifest.json, and get the following output in the console: addons.xpi-utils WARN addMetadata: Add-on {c2c003ee-bd69-42a2-b0e9-6f34222cb046} is invalid: Error: File /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/{c2c003ee-bd69-42a2-b0e9-6f34222cb046} does not contain a valid manifest(resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIInstall.jsm:669:11) What can go wrong?

System: Debian 11 (bullseye) Firefox version: 91.4.1esr (amd64)

If you need any other information, please ask, I will write it down.

Update to version 96 64-bit just completed. Many websites now experiencing Secure Connection Failed PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. Did Help -> More Troubleshooting Information -> Refresh Firefox to go back to all defaults. Open Firefox again, add Menu Bar. Open what used to be home screen tabs, ok at first, but within minutes start experiencing Secure Connection Failed in several websites. Seems to come and go, sometimes a Reload current page restores normal website, sometimes not. Close Firefox, open again, restore previous session tabs, only a matter to time before one or more start getting Secure Connection Failed errors. No extensions, no themes. Browser is now so unreliable as to be unusable. Please assist.

I am using Thunderbird with the two following extensions: (i) Thunderbird Conversations and (ii) LookOut (fix version).

Sometimes, when I receive an email containing some attachments, they are not displayed unless I open the email by selecting the option "view using the classic reader". This is quite annoying as the only way to realize that the email is supposed to include an attachment is that the sender mentions it in the message. However, that doesn't always happen (in most of the case I actually see the attachments) and I cannot figure out what makes Thunderbird show (or not) the attachments and the end of the message.

Does anyone have the same issue and know a way to systematically see attachments included in emails? Thank you.

Firefox 96 cannot connect to any website, even in local network or to send crash reports. One of Firefox processes constantly loads 1 cpu core. On trying to close Firefox, crash happens.

Error persists even in Troubleshooting mode, with new profile and reinstalled Firefox. With older Firefox 88 I don't have this problem.

Environment: Windows 10, Firefox 96.0

Hi,

I'm running on macOS 12.1 with firefox 95 (and also 96). Suddenly everywhere I try to browse it will not load the webpage. I did not change any settings while it happend.

I already tried disabling al my extensions without luck. I also removed all cache etc.

Is there anything else I can try?

Kind regards.

Hi, Firefox suddenly started crashing today. I can't load any tabs, or if I can manage to load one or two it usually crashes very soon after. I tried using troubleshoot mode, which didn't solve the problem. I also tried a clean install, which didn't fix it either. I haven't installed any new extensions or applications on my PC. Here is the latest Crash ID: bp-b7811dc4-26c3-41ab-811b-252bc0220113. Thanks!

While using Firefox my web pages suddenly stopped loading. Checked my wifi, it's all good. I rebooted my computer, still they won't load. Ran a malware scan, pc is clean. Checked other apps that use internet, they all work. Tried to open Firefox in troubleshoot mode since I figure it's probably an add on. When I hit the restart button, instead of confirming I want to use troubleshoot mode, nothing happens. Go to uninstall it, they ask if I want to refresh instead so I say yes. Browser refresh works for about 30 seconds and then stops loading the pages again. This time I completely uninstall and reinstall it, same thing, works a few seconds and then breaks again. If anyone has more solutions I can try, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Mac OS 11.2.3 Tried every tip in the troubleshooting guide. Firefox still does not work. Downloaded and installed version 96 but "Update History" only shows up to 95. Thanks for any help.

Hi.

I just updated my firefox to version 96. After starting it, none of the tabs is loading, regardless of the url. No problems with Chrome or other programs. After a few minutes I just get the error message telling me that firefox has crashed. I restarted Windows (10, 64 bit, updated yesterday) twice, checked my firewall, reinstalled firefox. None of it worked. :-(

It would be great, if you can offer me some help. Greetings Chris

I tried to disable javascript, delete pref.js file, resinstall firefox but without success.

Even the new reinstalled version crash everytime I try to close it.

This seems to have happened when I was trying to complete an order on a website...

So strange.

Good morning, I was working this morning on the browser when suddenly the webpage I was in showed a connectivity error. When I tried reloading the page it did not load at all. I have tried with many other websites and none of them loads. I have tried waiting to see whether an error appeared, but nothing. Whenever I try to close the browser after a while (approximately a minute) it shows an error message that the process has crashed. I have already sent the report a couple of times before quitting the process from within the error message.

I run a Dual Boot system of Windows 10/Ubuntu 20.04 I am only experiencing the problem with firefox in Ubuntu and other browsers work correctly on the system. I have re-installed firefox with "sudo apt remove firefox" and "sudo apt install firefox" and nothing changed. I have also updated to the latest version, tried disabling all the add-ons and switching the connection to "no-proxy" as suggested in the support webpage. I don't really know what else to try

Thanks in advance for the reply and do not hesitate to ask for any further information you may require.
