Hey there,
today i used my browser completely normal, everything worked just fine. After i started doing my Windows Updates though and also updated my Anti Virus Software, Mozilla doesn't start anymore, I cant end the task/process either, not even via system32 cmd command (taskkill /IM firefox.exe /t /f) because it tells me that I don't have the necessary access to do that.
I need to fully restart my Computer to kill the process. When I start it in safe mode via windows+r run command (firefox -safe-mode) it started up once, and now it doesnt do that either.
I really don't know what exactly caused this and it started skyrocketing my blood pressure after I reinstalled it 4 times now and it still didn't working.
Firefox will not load, doing a clean install of Firefox did not fix the problem. Doing a clean install with a fresh profile did not fix the problem either.

I have been having problems with firefox lately. Every time I try to run the program it automatically closes without giving an error message. I am running Windows 10 and this happens in safe mode as well. I have tried doing a clean install of firefox - that did not fix the problem. I tried deleting my profile after uninstalling then doing a fresh install, this did not fix the problem either. I ran a virus scan and did not detect any malware. I don't know what else to try.

Unable to open Word and Excel documents from within SharePoint. This has never been an issue but now the error message is shown. "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context." The documents should either open in the browser or trigger the desktop app. Installing older versions hasn't fixed this.
Looking for solutions, thanks

After the release and subsequent auto update of firefox 70.1 I had NO internet access. Anytime I attempted to open the browser I got an error page saying Can Not Connect. Finally after using a restore point dated Oct.25 I was able to acess the net and download sites again but I can no longer stream video from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Hulu and other sites are not affected. Netflix said refreshing firefox would work. It DID NOT. Amazon says the latest version of firefox is needed to restore functionality. That version kills my ability to access the web. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on an older HP with AdBlocker Plus and HTTPS Everywhere. Any ideas ?

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox about ten times, to stop ift from crashing my Mac on Catalina. It sort of works, but I keep getting error messages in the Browser Console. Latest, while trying to access my City Council website, is "Favicon at "http://www.tshwane.gov.za/favicon.ico" failed to load: Not Found." It seems to couse a hiccup, then runs on. I also get 'TypeError: aBrowser is null' which seems to be a "x" is (not) "y" error, but I have no idea what that is or how to fix it.
Any suggestions?

I clicked the green "Automatically add" button for "Troubleshooting information:" just below this text box, and it took me to a dead page, and lost everything I had typed (yeah, rookie mistake on my part, fine)... the landing page address: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/426841/addon-426841-latest.xpi ..

We're sorry, but we can't find what you're looking for.
The page or file you requested wasn't found on our site. It's possible that you clicked a link that's out of date, or typed in the address incorrectly. "
..... and continuing on for a bit after that.
basic problem is described in subject line. I could gripe endlessly about prior disclosure, and how appalling it is to see this problem persist over several versions, but mostly I'm curious how it does not seem to have been asked / answered yet?
I will upload screencaps if needed, but I am going to a banking website, entering UID & password, and telling FF to update the password. Not only does it not update for that UID, instead putting it into the "no username" storage for this website, but it is storing asterisks (in the same amount as the actual password) instead of the password. Yes, I clicked on the little "eye" next to the password field under Tools.Options.Privacy .. and yes, I tried trusting and just using the stored password both for the UID (it kept the old password) and also for the "no username" and neither works. I can update the password manually when under Tools.Options.Privacy, but I do not have the time nor inclination to do this for hundreds of logins.
This is entirely unacceptable, and needs to be fixed post haste.
Now copying and pasting everything I typed here, because I fully expect that I'll click "Post Question" and all will be lost...
FF 71.0 64bit updated 09 Dec 2019 - Win7 home 64 bit .. hardly any addins/plugins as the ones I used have mostly been deprecated through all the updates.
My profile along with stored passwords has been carried forward through at least three years of updates with no problems, prior to Quantum.
How can you recover data belonging to extensions?

Background: My computer was acting up and, going into task manager, I brazenly exited out of some of the processes of Firefox thinking it might help. Obviously it didn't help and I'm sure at this point I just need to reinstall because it's basically been slowing my computer to a halt every time I've tried to use it since then, but weirdly enough, it completely messed up my extensions too*, even though nothing else regarding settings nor my profile was affected.
I'm fine manually reinstalling the extensions, especially considering I can carry over bookmarks and history anyway, but I must have had thousands of elements blocked on uBlock, all of which are gone, and there's a lot of styles that I don't know if I'd be able to find again as well. If there's some way to retrieve the data related to these extensions if it still exists somewhere, like the aforementioned blocked elements and styles, or scripts on Tampermonkey, or even settings related to the extensions- maybe they're all stored in similar places- then I'd really like to be able to do that. It would be fine just to be able to copy and paste the items back manually again. Even if I can't actually put it back in, it would be nice to be able to retrieve the files where they are so at least it's not wiped out on a reinstall. I realize that it's possible that one of these extensions is causing an issue, but they certainly weren't before this happened (I doubt what I did was actually an issue exacerbated by the extensions and as long as I don't do the same thing again I'd think it would be fine) and either way, even if I don't even use the extensions again, I'd just like to have the data there.
- The extensions themselves aren't uninstalled. Some work normally, some don't, but notably, every time I start Firefox, anything that's stored related to the extension, whether it be settings or just certain specifications, is gone. The toolbar drop-down menus open consistently. For instance, uBlock not only won't actually bring up its element blocker, but it also says it has zero elements blocked since install. Stylus also doesn't work, and all my styles have vanished. Tampermonkey worked running a script on Youtube, but once again, on startup, the script was gone.

I think Firefox updated a day or so ago on my computer. Since then, when switching between tabs there are times when it takes several seconds to go to the tab I click on, and Firefox is locked up while I wait for the switch. Is this a known issue, and if so when might it be fixed?

Since FF 69 the starting (not the loading!) of websites frequently lasts more than 10 seconds under Xubuntu. The tab remains empty during this waiting time, while no sign of the loading process can be seen: The tab header shows no title, only the URL. The animated loading icon of the tab header is not shown. The status bar shows no activity. For about 5 to 20 seconds it looks like the tab is frozen. (See hardcopy.) This phenomenon occurs irregularly, but repeatedly, approximately with 10-20 percent of all calls, regardless of the requested URLs. It typically occurs piled within a random period, that lasts between a some seconds and several minutes. It also happens in safe mode, regardless of the used profile (even an unmodified new profile) and both in private an non-private windows. As far as I can judge, the troubleshooting Information shows no abnormalities. There are no issues with the internet connection. I've been using Firefox trouble-free for more than 10 years, but this phenomenon only occurred since Firefox 69.0.

Hi,
WebGL on Mozilla Firefox is very slow compared to Google Chrome on same desktop?
Desktop specs: - Kubuntu 18.04.3 LTS 64Bit Linux OS - 500 Watt Power Supply - ASRock Q1900M Motherboard - Intel Celeron 2GHz 4-Core CPU - 16GB DDR3 RAM Memory - nVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 GPU (Ubuntu nVidia proprietary display driver version 435.21)
Using the same WebGL demo, I get 10 Frames Per Second on Firefox and 45 Frames Per Second on Chrome? Any ideas what the issue is with WebGL and Ubuntu Firefox and how to fix it? Let me know, thanks!

Been trying to open yahoo mail as I need it on a computer not on the phone. I use it every day plenty of times on the phone and laptop. Today I can't open it. Firefox says theres an update, so I download it. I then have to verify my firefox account with my email...of which I cannot open. Yet again another stupid update poorly researched and executed. No doubt I will be told its my fault because I dont have update 72.3.56.786 or install 234.3987.2 or some crap no one would ever know about
