When Firefox updated itself in mid-July, all of my Bookmarks were deleted.
I have tried everything in the articles linked off of Mozilla Support, both by myself and after recommendations from other people, and nothing has worked.

Firefox has been extremely laggy and slow lately. I've tried every "quick fix" I've found online, to include refreshing, sfc /scannow, disabling extensions, re-installing firefox, running malware scans, etc. This started after a cluster of windows, firefox, NVIDIA updates about a week ago, and I haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the issue. So far the only thing that brings the browser back to full speed is restarting my computer with an offline Windows Defender scan. It never actually finds anything, but when the computer restarts Firefox works at regular speed until it is locked for a couple hours or restarted. Any thoughts?

From around 5 months ago when I download "any type of file", I sometimes get an empty dialog box except for the very top line "opening xxxxxx.xxx". i.e. there is no "You have chose to open....What should firefox do with this file, open or save file etc. " Usually this corrects itself when I try to download the file again. I am running Win 10 / My current FF ver 70.0b7 (64-bit)

I frequently use a proxy server when browsing. I forgot to shut it off and when I went to Paypal it came up in Spanish (might be Portuguese). No other site does this. I spoke to Paypal and they suggested I try another browser. When I used Opera the site came up normally in English. How can I fix Firefox so paypal comes up in English again.

Login to the New York Times is in a permanent loop. You login in the usual way, and the page loads without logging you in. It tries to sell me a subscription when I already have one. I have already cleared the cache and cookies and suffered having all of my websites broken by Firefox forcing us to re-login to everything on the web over and over because we have to go through the ritual of clearing cache and cookies over and over because Firefox is always malfunctioning. I have already permanently disabled "hardware acceleration" and have done all of these multiple times, numerous times. It's undoubtedly Firefox built in security devices that are causing this block. Chrome does not cause this, but there are other reasons not to use Chrome unless I have to, which is what I now have to do because of Firefox hyper-intrusive "security" software. If I could disable all the security bloat in Firefox, I would do so. It's just impossible. It does on month after month, year after year. We are prisoners of these device builders!

Firefox almost always crashes on closing. If I reopen firefox within a couple mins of closing it tells me it can't open because it is already running. If I leave it closed usually after several mins I get a notification that it has crashed. I've tried disabling all add ons/refresh/disabling sync etc. with no luck so just trying to see if anyone has any ideas on possible culprits. This is on multiple Win 10 machines, can post more crash reports later tonight. My other system it happens every single time I close it.

The passing of Windows credentials into our homepage using a mozilla.cfg file isn't working properly and I can't figure out why. I know Firefox is reading the config file because the homepage is correctly pointed. However I have edited the following settings to:
lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-trusted-uris", "servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-delegation-uris", "servername.domain.corp");
This is what the settings are for the homepage: //set intranet as home page lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
When I open firefox it directs to our homepage, however it prompts for credentials. Am I missing something?

Hello,
I am having bit of a problem with the cookies in the latest Firefox 69 and the 69.0.1 update that I had just now. In the Firefox I had Cookies and site data permissions set to allow specific sites for the current session and now after the update looks like those cookies are getting blocked... I always have been using private mode and I had disabled all the cookies. Looks like a bug, right? I think I could try add exceptions to the Content blocking, but then again, other stuff apart from cookies will be allowed. Running browser in the safe mode gives same result.
I would appreciate some help to resolve that issue. Thank you.

I have the Lastpass extension on Firefox 69.0.1 (64-bit). I always used Two-factor Authentication on Chrome to access Lastpass from a browser extension, but on both the Firefox extension and the Lastpass webpage in Firefox, when I put in my user name and master password, it does not open a the Lastpass window to input the google authentication code, instead it just hangs on the webpage and does nothing on the Firefox extension ... Any help would appreciated...

Thought problem was just on MyPoints when viewing videos but occurred yesterday at InBoxDollas while playing a game.
- 9/15 - Attached is one of the video screens with the website slowing...... In this group Postables - almost all had this come up. Sometimes just froze there & when I refreshed screen this ... website slowing.... came up & I had to StopIt for video to continue. {Often the screen would be Black as attached shows, sometimes black with an x in the middle so I refreshed}**
Last night I deleted History (except for personal.). Opened MyPoints this morning & went to Postables where half or more of the videos had this popup line stating Website slowing...... & I had to keep clicking on StopIt. I went to the video in image I added but the 2nd from there had this popup - slowing website.... So I guess deleting history helped some perhaps - but is still there. {Searched last night & all the ideas/thoughts listed to stop this went back to 2016. Before deleting History, I went to registry & searched for Firefox Pioneer and also Shockware - None were found.

Sometimes the rectangle of the text in an element is different from the rectangle of the element itself. I know there are tow functions: Element.getBoundingClientRect() and Element.getClientRects(). but they can not find the rectangle of the text in an element.
For example, there is following element button: <button style="position:absolute; left:58px; top:324px; width:100px; height:40px;"> Both the span and the paragraph have a border set. </button> The text of the above button has gone out of the button. How can I get the rectangle of the text in this button?

Firefox 69.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10.
Web applications (such as Hangouts) that have an option to select a different sound output do not work. All that is available is "System Default Speaker Device". This means I cannot use my headset for instance, and also means that other web pages cannot route sound however I want it.
Is this a Firefox bug or are there some hidden options to use sound devices?

I have been using Firefox since it first came out and replaced the old Mozilla browser. When Firefox Sync first came out, I used it a few times and it messed up my bookmarks. As a result, I went back to manually syncing my bookmarks by exporting them on my primary computer and then deleting and importing them on my secondary computer. I recently tried Firefox sync again and it messed up my bookmarks again. The result was double the bookmarks and folders. I have a first set of bookmarks and folders that appear the be synced followed by a second set of bookmarks and empty folders. The second set follows the same order as the first set above starting with Bookmarks Toolbar, Other Bookmarks, Recently Bookmarked, Recently Tagged, and then a bunch empty folders. Also in the first set, many of my favicons are missing. What is going on and how can I fix this?
Thank you,
