I was using FF 68.0.2 and all versions before it for years and I never had a problem. After I installed version 69 I began to have these black screens! Im using 69.0.1 now and it seems a bit better, with 69 I was having more crashes. Im using h264ify addon because youtube was too unstable in 69 version and using h264 codec seems more stable. I am not completely sure this is a Firefox problem or a Windows 10 problem because microsoft has release buggy patches recently. I uninstalled last microsoft patch just in case but I still have this creashes.
Sometimes Firefox return to normal if I minimize the windows and restore it but sometimes it crashes completely.

Firefox often "crashes" because a white area (white box) appears at the top of the screen, making it impossible to use the menu and address bar. Closing Firefox can then only be done by F4. Only restarting a computer is a solution. Other programs will continue to function properly.

Firefox is my default browser but when I search it automatically changes to Bing. Today when I search, it is returning no results, just a blank page. Just tried Google Chrome - it works fine. My Firefox 'favourites' work but a new search results in the Bing blank page. Any ideas? Have checked default settings (yes for Firefox) and extensions/add-ons - only have an Iobit add-to block ads. Done a malware scan with no issues. No idea why it has changed today. Previously searches from Firefox - auto to Bing - but at least came up with some results.

I brought up the Firefox browser, went to the Drudge report, clicked on a news story, and instantly I got a orangeish red page claiming my browser was infected, call this number immediately for support. My computer is being hacked, or something to that effect, and my bank account files are being stolen. OK, I tried to close the page, but everything is dead, as in a fake page. Seen these before long long time ago so in order to close it I brought up Task Manager and closed the process tree. Reopened the browser and it was instantly there again. Closed the browser with task manage and ran a McAfee virus scan, CCleaner, and CleanMyPC. Tried again, same result. Checked windows update, same result. Everything is up to date.
I then called Verizon to confirm the phone number that it was trying to get me to call and Verizon confirms it belongs to Mozilla Firefox support. That seemed odd to me given the type of screen I'm dealing with is a scam screen that cannot be closed nor left unless you close Firefox with task manager.
Took a chance and called the number, gets an error message instead as in the number is no good. Double checked the number and is the same one that Verizon had just told me goes to Mozilla Firefox support.
In case you're interested in that number: 833-830-7966
I then started Firefox in safe mode. Nothing works there anyway, but no scam page loaded. Closed and went back to regular Firefox and now everything is working normally. At least at this moment.
Questions: 1) Any idea what happened? 2) Is that 833-830-7966 number a legitimate Firefox support number? 3) If that number is not legitimate then why is Verizon confirming it belongs to Firefox support?
Please advise and please give me all the details you might have so I can deal with this if it happens again.

I've always love the fact that I could move all the tool bars and addy bar to the bottom of the window. First this it was a menu item, no it's broken. Then an addon, now it's broken. Then it was the .css file, now it's broken with 66. How do I go about moving everything back to the bottom of the window? Why can't Mozilla relize that a lot of their users love the customizing of where the tools and how the layout is done and stop breaking it??? Why can't we have the old drag and drop customizing back?

First of all, I hate everything about Yandex and I will not ever use it simply because it tries to force itself into our lives. Anyway, this is not the main problem. Every once in a while I keep getting Yandex set as the default search engine for Firefox and every time, I delete all search engines and just leave Google. Why does this happen over and over again?
A short statement from a longtime Mozila user. Seems Mozilla could create a Browser that "responds" more often than the current one.

I want to set Firefox Portable as my default browser. It's been updated to the latest version.
I've tried the method described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-firefox-your-default-browser
The problem is that Firefox isn't listed as an option on the drop down menu. Maybe that's because I'm using Portable, rather than the installed version.
Resetting to Microsoft recommended defaults doesn't help.

Having recently been a victim of ransomware I have configured a computer that has no personal information on it at all. It will be used exclusively for browsing the web and my other computers that have data worth stealing will not be used for browsing. I wanted to load Firefox because it reputed to be the least needy with respect to personal information. I don't need to get any emails from mozilla.org and don't intend to send you any. Can I just load the browser without providing an email address (microsoft edge did not require one)? So far the installer seems unhappy if I don't provide the requested email address.

This morning, 09/03, Firefox was updated. After that, every time I would open a Facebook game I would be prompted to run Flash Player. Posted on Community, no response. Decided to uninstall/reinstall. Now, everything is F__d'ed up. When I click on any game, all I get is a black window. Also, I've always left two tabs open and when I'm finished on-line, I would click on the red X in the upper right. Then, when I wanted to go back on line, when I click on the Firefox icon in the task bar, both tabs would come up. Now, if I click on the X, I get a warning I'm about to close two tabs. If I click OK, both tabs are closed and when I open Firefox again, they are not there. Getting sick and tired of the problems.
