This message is to developers of the Firefox browser...

Is there any effective way to disable this stupid updates that breaks what you do and force you to restart?

I've tried to disable by about:config or any other settings. Not working...

Always forces user to restart. I wanna say as Linus said to NVIDIA to community!..

FF version is 113.0.1

Please SOLVE THIS STUPID issue.

How do I prevent Firefox from re-opening my last session upon reboot, for example after my laptop dies or I shutdown without closing browser windows? I never never ever want Firefox to restore pages at any time for any reason.

Background: I use firefox for work, and I keep 7 separate firefox windows open to the sites I use to do my job. Because it's a pain opening them every time, I created a shell script (I'm using linux mint 21.1 by the way) to do it. I just double click a desktop icon to launch my shell script and all of my windows open in the order I like them to be in.

Unfortunately, if my laptop battery dies or if I just am in a hurry and I log out without closing everything, then the next time I log in and launch my script, it opens my first firefox window, which then decides to open ALL 7 of the windows that were killed when my laptop shut down, and then my script opens the remaining 6 windows it is supposed to open, for a total of 14 browser windows now open, and I have to close half of them.

What I tried: I googled around and the only thing I could find was the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once settting, which appears to have no effect whatsoever when I restart (my test was to set this flag to false, open 7 browser windows, restart my machine without closing the browser windows, and then launch my script and the result was 14 browsers open instead of 7).

Version: I'm using Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint (mint-001 - 1.0) with a Firefox version number of 111.0.

Hi, I have firefox on my Ubuntu 23.04. When i start it it shows a black screen. I click quit on my system and then i startup and it lunches normally. What am I doing wrong or how to fix it?

If you can find out what causes this error code to appear, we would be on the road to solving the problem. BTW, it can play videos on the selection screen but only raises the error when i try to launch the movie. I also have difficulty with News videos where the wait symbol never stops, it just keeps trying to play it and never succeeds.

I got a new machine, and exported from a windows 10 machine running firefox and got a "bookmarks.html " file that was saved to my desktop. I then used a USB drive to put it on a new LINUX box with firefox running on it. something happened with the "other bookmarks" folder in my bookmarks list. It is empty and I cannot access it. PLUS there is ANOTHER "other bookmark" folder on the bottom of the list that I cannot access or select.

The "other bookmarks" on the bookmarks tab is empty (the one on the top of the list). I can't move a URL to it. There is also another "other bookmarks" on the bottom. which I cannot select and therefore cannot get rid of. And I have a link to some place that I also cannot select (and therefore cannot get rid of).

All the bookmarks in my folders and lists are ok and they work. I think the bookmarks list (which I cannot find in the linux file system) is corrupted. How can I find it, delete it, and then try to import my new "bookmarks.html" again ? Using Linux POP-os ver 22. Most recent release.

Hi, I've been struggling with this for months and can't find an easy solution or a good explanation. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 pretty basic, I don't have many custom repositories enabled or anything, just a few additional packages like slack, Teams or Chrome. Ubuntu switched Firefox to snaps as well, and I can't get internet access with it. The error message is:

--- May 12 12:16:20 nuc kernel: [12948.381392] audit: type=1400 audit(1683886580.562:131): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="snap.firefox.firefox" name="/etc/fstab" pid=7731 comm="firefox" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 May 12 12:15:43 nuc rtkit-daemon[1030]: message repeated 3 times: [ Supervising 10 threads of 4 processes of 1 users.] May 12 12:16:20 nuc dbus-daemon[790]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' requested by ':1.175' (uid=1000 pid=7731 comm="/snap/firefox/2645/usr/lib/firefox/firefox " label="snap.firefox.firefox (enforce)") ---

Simply stopping (and aa-teardown) doesn't work at all, Firefox doesn't even start without apparmor running. I'm not an expert with apparmor, but I wanted to set in complain mode instead enforce, but I'm struggling with that, too. I didn't touch the /etc/hosts file, the error message is a little different on another Ubuntu 22.04 computer I use, there it complains about permission denied for the resolve.conf. So I'm asking the community, how do you deal with this? Searching the web gives me all kinds of ideas, but none of them work. Could anyone help me out here?

Thanks!

Hello, I would like to report an issue with Firefox 113.0 cannonical-002 1.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 lts. When opening 5-8 tabs, the browser consumes a lot of memory. When the system's RAM usage, along with the browser, reaches 80% of the computer's memory capacity (12Gb is the full size of the machine RAM), the browser crashes without generating any crash reports and does not restart itself. Interestingly, using the same browser on the same hardware, but on another OS, Windows 10 with the latest stable version of the browser, with the same themes and add-ons, the issue is not observed, and memory usage is much lower.

Could you please suggest a solution to this issue and help prevent these crashes from happening?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

So my FF interface language is German but I do write a lot off stuff in English so I installed a bilingual dictionary. I have no clue how to enable it though. In "languages" the default German language is enabled. In "dictionaries" my new dict is enabled. When I right click underlined text in English it offers me either German OR English but not the bilingual dictionary. When I click "add dictionary" I get to the page where I found that bilingual dictionary in the first place. This is very confusing behavior.

J'utilise FF depuis qu'il existe. Avant, dans les paramètres, on avait des options pour les mises à jour. Je choisissais toujours « me demander avant d'installer mises à jour ». Depuis 2 ans, j'utilise linux. FF est installé par défaut sur Linux. Quand je veux choisir pour PARAMÉTRER les mises à jour, il n'y a aucun choix. J'ouvre souvent plusieurs fenêtres en même temps dans FF, pour les lire plus tard. Mais FF me dit de redémarer FF parce qu'il a installé des mises à jour !!! Parce que je navigue toujours en «privé», ces pages ne sont pas rouvertes au redémarrage de FF. Donc je perds beaucoup de temps, souvent au milieu d'un travail important, pARCE QUE JE DOIS RÉOUVRIR TOUTES MES PAGES ! ET IL FAIT CES MISES À JOUR DE FAÇON ALÉATOIRE, À N'IMPORTE QUELLE HEURE DU JOUR OU DE LA NUIT ! Donc je demande que FF me redonne le choix dans les paramètres. Je ne veux pas que FF installe les mises à jour quand il le décide, sans tenir compte de mon travail en cours. Ou y-a-t-il une version plus nouvelle qui permet ces choix ? Merci d'avance pour une réponse rapide. Anne

Every time I open Firefox, as well as my StartPage Home page, an additional "Thank You For Loving Firefox" tab opens, and it does so in preference to my home page. How do I remove this "bonus feature"? In addition, an additional "Firefox View" button appears to the left of my home page tab, which I would also prefer not to be obliged to remove each time. Can I also disable this feature? OS is Linux Mint, desktop computer, with 2 TB SSD, Quad core processor, 16 Gb RAM.

Is it possible to restore previously deleted pages in FF history? There are instructions for FF in Windows but I am using Ubuntu 16.04 esm and the FF version is 102.10.0esr.

The pages were deleted  several days ago and the computer has been shut down and rebooted many times since then.

If it is possible doesn't that defeat the object of deleting history pages?

Hope someone has an idea! Derek

Greetings,

Due to predatory business practices, I have resorted to launching a basic webhosting business to support my other businesses and provide cost effective online presence solutions to small businesses. In order to provide the best service, I'll need to become a certification authority. I am well aware of how to generate AES256 encrypted key pairs (4096), and I will have no trouble following the rules listed in section 2 here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/policy/#2-certificate-authorities

Who might I contact to further my goals? You will notice that my sites lack SSL encryption at the moment, because I would prefer to issue them myself. When I self-sign them currently, browsers do not honor my certificates. For some background, here is my linkedin:

‘No sound in Firefox (Linux or window), It start last night (4/30/23), (Vivaldi and Brave works fine), I have the latest Firefox and the latest (sounds drivers) updates in Linux and Windows, I reinstalled, I follow all your suggestions, disabling all the extensions but hasn't resolved the sound problem

I can scroll up in firefox, but not down. It doesn't matter which mouse i use, or even my touchpad. I can scroll both ways in all other programs with no issue. I am on a MSI laptop running Ubuntu22.04 with KDE.

Hi,

I am using Firefox for Linux, and whenever my yubikey is plugged in, firefox will start bothering me for a pkcs#11 password. It always happens on start-up but it gets relentlessly annoying if I happen to be on a site which potentially utilizes certificate auth, which I do not use this yubikey for.

I do however use it for 2fa, which does work perfectly fine.

How do I permanently stop whatever Firefox process keeps bothering me about this PKCS#11 password for functionality that I never use?

When I open a website with a financial part eg. banking or amazon bodyshop etc firefox crashes, its ok with other sites eg. information or web mail etc. it happened after a update two subsequent updates haven't helped

Some extensions NEED buttons -- adblock, tinyurl, etc. Some extensions provide a 'pin to *bar' switch. Some do it automatically. SOME, however, seem incapable of attaching their button in the Nightly/linux version (although they work fine in FF82/linux). I especially want to be able to use the 'Remove cookies' button which works ONLY on the current page and which is absolutely useless without a button. I haven't checked with the author(s) yet, but I will.

Is this just an oversight or was this function removed deliberately?
