Firefox 85.0.1 Ubuntu 20.04 suddenly just blank no pages render, no access to preferences nothing except the menu bar - I have tried starting in safe mode, refreshing firefox, deleting profile info, starting a different portable version of firefox 78.3.0 also blank. There is a message when started from the command line about multiple gpu's detected (there are 2 nvidia gpu's one of which is passed through to a guest kvm) Other browsers work fine on the system and firefox worked fine until recently other than stopping using firefox on this machine which I would rather not do I seem to be out of options (note firefox works fine in the guest kvm's) [GFX1-]: More than 1 GPU from same vendor detected via PCI, cannot deduce device [GFX1-]: More than 2 GPUs detected via PCI, secondary GPU is arbitrary

I want you guys to fix the video playing on SvtPlay and maybe other sites too. So that it is not choppy anymore. I just played a video from the documentaries section on svtplay.se and it was choppy. The streaming of channels was not choppy though.

I use the latest version of Linux Fedora and Firefox.

I've been trying for some time to determine why my main Firefox profile, the profile I use most of the time, has a lot of trouble when I use Google Street View. The Street View screen essentially freezes when I try and use it. But, taking a tip from Firefox help I opened up a new profile in a new browser. When doing so, the existing Google Street View problem disappeared completely in the new browser. I call my new profile in the new browser my second Firefox browser to use. My question is, can someone explain why the problem disappears in my second Firefox browser? Looking at the options window when I open the Firefox menu, I see a few differences between the two browsers. The big difference is the second browser has much less applications in it. It has 7 applications where as my first browser has 21 applications. Is this the possible reason why the second browser doesn't have the problem that my first browser does? If so, how can I delete some of the applications in the first browser to see if that is the problem? I'm trying NOT to refresh my first Firefox browser as refreshing Firefox caused much problems for me in the past. And, it seems some Firefox aficionado's do say use caution when using a refresh. So, can someone please explain why the one browser, the new second browser, is void of the problem that plaques my first or original Firefox browser? Thank you.

Hi. I have installed Firefox Web Browser but when I try to bring it up and use it, in the search box, Google still appears. What can I do to get rid of it and actually use Firefox?

Hello,

Just updated after a long time from 66.0.5 -> 72.0.2 -> 86.0. This is what FF wanted to do for some unexplained reason so I just let it.

Now when I open a new tab in an open window I get a white screen and nothing works. Entering a URL in the bar or pressing any of the buttons like home does nothing whatsoever. Just a blank white screen.

This is why I LOATHE updating anything! The odds of breaking something that was working perfectly is VERY high. Proved the point once again. I used to let FF update itself and then got burned by the Quantum update that trashed ALL of my open session windows. Turned auto-update OFF after that so that could manually grab and save a copy of the profile BEFORE any update happens.

So how do I fix this or is it a legitimate BUG that should be reported (and how to do same)?

Thanks, Steve

It appears that Firefox 87.0b3 version has removed the Library - Pocket List menu item. Yet, through the about:config options, has retained the ability to activate the 'Save to Pocket' address bar icon.

This makes no sense as there is now no option to have a 'Pocket List' item selection. At least I couldn't find an option for this. That is without adding another extension.

Having the 'Save' option without the 'List' option is counter intuitive.

The Library-->Pocket List Menu item should be restored.

Thanks.

Firefox sent a suggestion to fix my slow browser. I did it and it deleted/emptied my Norton Password Vault. How can I restore all those lost usernames and passwords? I see a new file on my desktop, "Old Firefox Files". Is something there I can restore?

Using Windows 10.

Thanks!

Hola, olvide la contraseña de mi cuenta de Firefox, por lo que la restablecí, sin poner atención a la advertencia de que perdería mis marcadores acumulados a lo largo de varios de años, mi historial y demás información, quisiera saber si existe alguna manera de recuperar todos mis marcadores, he buscado por todo internet pero no he encontrado solución que me ayude con mi problema.

Mil gracias de antemano

I recently upgraded from a Dell XPS laptop to a Dell XPS Inspiron laptop and had my old laptop cloned to the new one. There's been only one change noted when using the new laptop -- whenever I have Firefox open, and want to print the page displayed, the File menu no longer offers the option "Print Preview", which I used all the time on my old laptop. Any idea why it's disappeared, and how to get it back? Thanks.

Hi There

In FireFox 86.0 protection against tracking is NOT WORKING, please take a look at attached screen-shots for my Firefox 86.0 browser, FaceBook and Privacy Settings.

Platform is Windows 10, FireFox 86.0.

I have a number of OpenSearch search engines set up, all with custom names. So I could just type "g whatever" in address bar to search in google, "w whatever" for Wikipedia, "y something" for Youtube, etc. Search still works.

However, I could just type the name of opensearch engine in the address bar to go to those sites' associated search pages. See moz:SearchForm parameter here. As of Firefox 86 this behaviour seems to be broken. Even if I switch to specific search engine by typing in its name and hitting space, I can't just press enter to go to the website.

How do I fix it?
