Firefox Support Forum

Firefox Version 63.0 (64-bit) Home build PC, 480GB SSD, 2 x 2TB HD's, 8GB Ram.

I have had problems with streaming Channel 4 TV UK for many years. I could only get it to work on Windows. Recently I have Dumped Window 10 - so slow - updates take all day. I now am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (using Linux since 2009)

Channel 4 say they Do Not support Linux ?

I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player, but does not seam to work or download. On Ch 4 web page I pressed Allow, but say that I should install Flash Player !

Please could anyone advice me what I can do, or what I have done wrong.

Regards, Richard.

For some reason it updated without asking/notifying me about it. Then after it restarted it reset EVERYTHING. I don't see the Apps anymore, the shortcuts on toolbar are gone/back to defult items & I can't restore any of the past backedup sessions from the past week! I had at least 150+ tabs in 4 windows. And I already tried the "History> Closed tabs"restore thing. It only restores the LAST session, since I've been trying to fix/figure this out for at least 12 hours & nothing has restored the tabs from about 13 hours ago. Note: My Bookmarks & History (I've previously set to saved before the sessions I've had to restart during) are fine, it's only the many tabs that I can't restore is my sudden problem.

This is similar to reported roblem with facebook pages but my facebook pages don't freeze. This started a couple of updates (latest beta) ago and can be worked around by using task manager ot close the plugin container task until a page is changed in the problem website. Thus this is very annoying and persistant.

I wonder why this very important field is removed. I have over 10 years of information recorded in this field for reference. This seems completely unneccessary to remove it. At least, could you provide an import tools so that user can move those description into some other field in the bookmark?

I saw many people asked this question, and no solution works for me. By exporting the information to a html is not enough, because I need to manually handle over 10 years of description information, which is foolish.

My home page is set to my providers email, when I open FF it also opens a page I posted on at Bleeping Computer. If I kill the extra and again click the home icon it opens a second mail account page and the one from Bleeping computer. I removed FF and reloaded problem still exists.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please note I started to do this on my tower then realized the shared data would not be of help to you, this is from the problem laptop.

If I use FF version 63 (64 bit) the particular site server blocks blocks access. If I use FF version 59 (32 bit) I can get access. I have used the site before (Q4 2018) for shopping. Is this a 32/64 bit problem or a version problem? Suggestions how to fix please.

When using Google (.com or .co.uk) as my search engine it takes a long time to load and display results. Chrome searches and displays results almost instantly. What is causing this slow down? Let me know if you need any more details.

Reinstalled windows 7, after firefox installing can't syncing, it is working but nothing transferring, i lost everything passwords, bookmarks... i trusted firefox, now need to change it

Hello,

I would like to increase the size of the font on the menu, address bar, and tabs without increasing the size of web content. I like the web content as it is. I therefore DO NOT want to increase the font globally. Is this possible? Previous answers to similar requests pointed users to an extension to do this. However that extension no longer works (because of some update in 2017 I think). Thanks for your help!

while I log in to the site (https://trade.kraken.com/markets/kraken/xlm/eur?autoconnect=1) the latter opens a blank page.

Those Site works: https://www.kraken.com/ https://cryptowat.ch/markets/kraken/xlm/eur

I have to manually shut down the computer to make it stop loading new tabs with the phone number. When I re-start I need to close all the tabs it created (last time it was over 60 tabs). I think it is a bug in Firefox, or my version is defective. I have not yet tried to re-install Firefox.

recently ever since upgrading to Firefox Quantum i have noticed a huge RAM issue and after looming around forums for many months gathering different viewpoints on this problem i feel like the issue is most likely being caused by the new addon handling protocols, once you disable every single addon you will notice firefox uses about 80% less ram, the problem isnt that i have too many addons even with a single addon enabled the RAM usage dramatically increases i personally only use an adblocker and google translator very lightweight addons for any other version of firefox until it hits Quantum, and no i dont use 100 tabs in a single session... i normally use like 2-3 tabs and have only about 8 tabs only max, but if that doesn't convince you at mozilla that Quantum has horrible addon handling take this into your figures Quantum without addons idles on a fresh restart at about 400mb RAM usage but once you enable an addon that number jumps up to about 500-600mb and every addon enabled after that compounds the usage issue

this wasn't a problem with firefox until quantum was introduced, and from what i hear about the firefox quantum the addon handling was changed to disallow addons access to specific browser system files that some addons were using that caused firefox to crash,

feel free to correct me if i'm wrong but “Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” iv eliminated all the other probable causes and the changes to the addon handling is all that remains

Hi, I'm currently running version 63.0.1 , something has changed with my browser, previously when I clicked on a pdf file it would automatically open within the firefox browser. It's rather frustrating to me as a user of this great browser when a pdf file attempts to open using something other than firefox. I feel sure there MUST be some method to correct this issue. Thanks, David

The problem exists since yesterday. Today I repared Mozilla. After this the problem first does not exist anymore, but less hours later the problem is here again. My Firefox is not too old. I use Firefox Quantum.
