Hi,

I have the following problem: Windows 7 crashed after coming back from standby. When I restarted Firefox it restored a 3-month-old session. The sessionstore.jsonlz4 file was missing in the profile folder. I searched for a backup in the sessionstore-backups folder; unfortunately all were too old. Windows Restore was not running on my computer.

Using EaseUS Data Recovery I found a recovery.baklz4 file from 10 days ago, tried renaming it etc. but Firefox won't use it for recovering. It is probably corrupt ...

I used https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but I get an error saying: Session history file contents could not be read?

Is there any way to repair the file or extract the URLs to use them manually?

Or any other solution is very welcome! Thank you very much!

Mozilla Firefox sign-in to kp.org keeps preventing me from doing this. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I get a message saying, "Turn off cookies. That is unacceptable unless I do it just for this site. Please fix this problem. I have read your responses to others, and I have too damn many sites I log into to "clear my cache." Please fix this problem, or I will have to stop using this browser I have used for years.

All of my other browsers sign into this site without a hitch. This is pure nonsense, especially since the problem is intermittent.

HelIo the Firefox team, I use Mackbook Pro, while Firefox is my favorite browser. Recently, I encounter an unpleasant and annoying SPONTANEOUS zoom-in and out in pages. It makes browsing impossible and prompts me to go for another browser. May it be a virus? How to solve this? It's really intolerable. Thank you in advance. Yigal.

Hi, out of nowhere my Firefox has stopped loading any pages for the past hour. I have read the existing community articles and cleared all of my history, cache, cookies, and restarted my computer 4 times. Firefox is up to date and was working fine up until I left my computer and returned to it an hour ago. I haven't downloaded anything new or clicked anything weird, I was just listening to a regular podcast this morning. All websites either show up as left-aligned text with no images, or are completely blank. This includes Gmail, Tumblr, Youtube, EyeBuyDirect, etc. All of these sites load perfectly in Edge so the issue is specific to Firefox. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit to Update: I turned off my AdBlock extensions one by one to narrow down the issue. The problem was AdBlocker Ultimate. I disabled it and now all my websites in Firefox are working as normal.

My LN only has 8 letters, but my street address is long, and I have old addresses w 5+4 zip codes that differ by the last 4. The 'Saved address' popup only shows most of the address, and it's not resizable. (See image )

I have to open each address to see it. Suggestion_--- Make the box wider, auto adjust, or (best) restore the sizing bars.

Thanks!

I've been using Firefox for years with absolutely no problems. Today, my wife was trying to do a search, and, instead of seeing search results she was directed to a page called FunSafe Tab, which I understand is a browser highjacked. How can I get rid or this, or am I stuck with Chrome and/or Safari?

On different webpages i had the issue that when writing text an old, probably cashed, version of the text appears and my written text is hidden. It then raptly switches between the life and the cased version.

I have not really found a way to reproduce it only that it happens after a tab has been left in the background for some time.

Reloading does not help only opening the page in a new tab held bot only for a short amount of time. I definitively find out if add-ons affected it but it did not seam like it.

I also had similar issues on websites where you can draw, with the images flashing.

Any form of input seams to effect which version of the text is displayed.

Firefox appears as a different application on the Taskbar with some default icon (not the Firefox icon). This happens regardless it is started from the Start Menu or from the pinned Taskbar icon.

This behavior appeared recently, I used Firefox for years on this PC without this issue. I guess it is caused by an update (Windows or Firefox).
