Firefox Support Forum

My FF id gets logged out whenever I restart my computer, due to which all my sync data is removed from that system. My FF id is used on 3-4 systems and 1 mobile but never faced such issue. Also the said problem of logging out is faced from last 7-10 days on only one system. Kindly help me out in the same.

For years this has been working GREAT! Then suddenly after a recent FireFox update, Pinterest broke again.

Used to Function:

• Logged into Pinterest.
• The browser stayed logged in.

Current Function:

• When I load Pinterest.com into a browser page in firefox, it looks like I'm signed in.
• When I attempt to "pin" something to pin (any of the methods available to do so--all 3 have the same result) a pop up from Pinterest appears, says "welcome back" and tells me to log in.
• At first this worked but annoyingly it asked me for every pin I wanted to do. It isn't h olding the session, apparently. Now, after a few moments of pinning recipes and other articles from my email newsletters I want to save for later, it says I've had "too many log in attempts" and am apparently blocked from Pinterest because of it for 30 minutes or longer.

I was logging in with Google. So its blocked everywhere (any browser, any device)

Hello,

My profile folder get huge!

My FF gets slow, uses a lor of RAM & the profile folder size goes huge.

So, while trying to locate the folder content that can be deleted- I came across a folder named: "to-be-removed".

[ ... AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ <profile folder> \storage ]

1. What is the purpose of this folder? 2. Is it safe to delete all of it's content(to empty it)?

Thanks.

I use Firefox in 4 different devices and only one shows the vulnerable passwords and all of them are synced and also all of them have the same settings.

Any idea as to what may be going on and how to solve it?

Thanks.

I see in the blog the roboform extension does not work with Firefox for many users. It errors that it only works in a browser. Why can't Roboform see or associate the connection when Firefox browser is in use. If it is in use, then Roboform should work. Is it a Firefox problem or a roboform problem? Between both of you surely someone can resolve this problem? It seems Roboform has washed their hands of the problem because they reply with a standard enable process that doesn't work for many people. I am on my 2nd new computer and still have the same problem. Again the error states it only works when the browser is in use. If the browser is in use, then what is the problem? thanks for any assistance you can provide.... I like Firefox and Roboform, it would be a blessing to have both working at the same time. A screenshot is attached for the error

i posted this a few days ago. Have had no reply

I put in the membership number and password as normal, and click log in and then it goes straight to apage which says

This isn't normal. There is nowhere to click to enable cookies. I can log in using Microsoft Edge. Something has gone wrong in the last few days. I have used this site with Firefox for years without a problem.

Hi I am losing all my windows and tabs within these windows when Firefox does updates.

I lost 3 lots of windows with tabs just before Christmas 2022 and about two months ago they all appeared again after an update, I was so happy, then about 1 hour ago I found another update was done today 28-5-2023 and now I have lost them all again. But another group of 2 windows including tabs that I lost about two & a half month ago turned up instead.

Are you able to help me find the disappeared windows/tabs and be able to keep these windows & tabs until I am finished with them, it is very annoying

Thank you Regards, Doug

Hello,

This is a weird issue that's been plaguing me for years. Only recently have I spotted the common factor.

On two Windows 10 computers, sometimes when I copy/paste a link in Firefox, my keyboard input language switches from Canadian Multilingual Standard to US English. On my desktop, I don't even have US English installed as an input method, yet it still switches to it. I've even made registry changes to specifically remove it, to no avail. Disabling the option to switch languages via keyboard shortcut also makes no difference.

This seems to happen completely randomly. I'll ctrl+c/ctrl+v a link and the language will change. Putting it back to CMD and ctrl+c/ctrl+v again and it won't change. The change only happens when I copy/paste a link from Firefox. Maybe one out of every 15-20 times on the large scale, but sometimes it will happen twice in a row, or not at all for a week.

Does anyone have any insight on this issue, or how I can fix it permanently? It's such a weird issue and it's infrequent enough, but every time it happens it feels like tripping in a full sprint. Very unpleasant.

Currently running 113.0.1 (64-bit), but again, this has been plaguing me for years. I first thought it was a Windows install issue, but it's happening on two different systems. Thanks in advance

As a professor at a large university in a college town, Google Scholar is a primary resource for me and thousands of others in this city. Doing Scholar searches on Firefox, I am often interrupted by the following Firefox message:

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen? IP address: 50.24.52.109 Time: 2023-05-28T15:12:13Z URL: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=11934070011569534288&hl=en&as_sdt=5,44&sciodt=0,44&as_ylo=2022&scioq=complex+adaptive+systems+%22concept+analysis%22

How can I stop that interruption from occurring? It does not occur on Chrome or Opera.

Thank you.

All of a sudden, creating eBay listings using Firefox is not working, it just puts one in a loop over and over. I tried to refresh, reinstall, making sure windows is updated, checked for malware, virus, etc. I did download Opera and works without any issues. I also noted that this is not new as some other users have had that same problem in the past.

I have Yahoo Mail+ and Gmail open in tabs (as well as MyYahoo, Yahoo Financial and Google Calendar) and both email systems intermittently declare they lose internet access. Sometimes they will continue to show current emails and sometimes not. I also have a second instance of Firefox running with MyYahoo and Start.me. All other apps on Windows 10 retain internet access as well as other non email tabs within Firefox. This does NOT happen with Chrome and the instances have increased in frequency so that I may have to switch back to using the Chrome browser. I test websites and need immediate access to email responses. I am willing to provide debug information, but don't know what or how I should report this condition. Until I get feedback I will be forced to utilize Chrome or (gasp - Edge) as my browser. I am using a Windows 10 system on an Device name Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 GX550 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10980HK CPU @ 2.40GHz 3.10 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points

Please help me.

The game opens and appears to load sometimes with a welcome screen and then it does nothing and stays frozen or other times it tries to help the loading which does not work at all Then it sometimes appears to load and says "LOGGED IN" but the screen is blank. I have reported this repeadly to Facebook Farmville and Zygna to no avail. I did load Mozilla on another computer and managed to get the game to come up after an hour trying everything. I does not work on Chrome either. I got a message once that said it was s protocall problem that was being worked on. PLEASE HELP

Is there any way to turn off the button "Open video in a new tab" that appears when you hover on an Instagram video? This button is blocking a button from an extension that I want to use.

I tried to change the download folder for Firefox inside "settings", and Firefox showed that the change did take, even after opening and closing the program again, but trying to download a file leaves me in the old folder again, as if Firefox didn't take what it showed it took. Also, Firefox keeps crashing when I try to download to the downloads folder. Not sure why. Clearing a few items lets me download again, but then, it will crash if I dare keep going. Is there a limit to how much can be in the downloads folder aside from the C drive itself? My C drive is showing 84GB free, in the blue, not red, so what gives?

Since the task limit option seems to have been obliterated? I believe the many more "programs" and the events they create for windows to handle is causing all sorts of virtual memory problems. Changing win10 advanced system settings from performance for programs to background services seems to have restored Firefox performance in my case, see: 10 advanced system settings win10 advanced system settings performance programs vs background services Is there an about:config option that would allow one to achieve the same "programs" limiting option as before? This laptop has 16 gig of memory and I used to successfully have even better Firefox performance with windows virtual memory turned off, but eventually I would get crashes. I can understand why Firefox was modified in a way to better localize the source of crashes, but in my case it has degraded performance. Thanks Mozilla for a great product I have valued for years!!!!

For Windows version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 If using Firefox Version 113.0.1 (64-bit) in Windows 10 and in the following state:

 Firefox is open and window is maximized.
 Firefox Full Screen is toggled OFF.
 Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled ON.

Then the Windows taskbar will not display when the cursor is place at the bottom of the monitor screen. If the Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled OFF. Then the Windows taskbar will also not display. Changing the ON/OFF state of any other Windows taskbar display setting in any combination does not fix the failure.
