Ever since Firefox updated to the new version I've been having constant crashes. I've tried restarting in Safe Mood which doesn't help. Pretty much Firefox will open, say it's not responding, and then by the time it looks like it's about to restore my tabs it crashes. I had to do a refresh and transferred the backup files from an older session which worked, but then it eventually crashed again. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and tried opening my older profile but it keeps happening. I really need to restore my previous session. There's nothing with my computer that seems to be causing it. I did have 2 windows open with about 8,000 tabs total which I'm sure could be part of the reason, but it never really had trouble before and only just started crashing since the update. Is there any way to fix this without starting over? I read that this is a bug that others have dealt with previously.

Some additional information. I'm on a 64-bit Windows 10 PC.

Hello,

I recently updated Firefox to Version 100.0 and Search functionality has been compromised.

1) On a New Tab, even if I place the cursor in the Google search pane in the window, anything I type goes directly into the web address bar (sorry I do not know the proper name for the URL text box at the top of the browser.)

2) If I search for "Boston Celtics", the URL box changes to: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=boston+celtics , but the browser never opens the Google results page, and never goes to a result.

3) The Browser will NOT open google.com. It just freezes

4) Basically, I can no longer use Google, and that is a problem for me.

When I check for Firefox updates, it says that I am up to date.

I would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Without Google search, I will likely be forced to use another browser and I have been a longtime fan of Firefox.

I run into this at least once a week, on sites that I know are completely legit, including sites that I recently visited successfully. Once it starts happening for a given site, I can't figure out how to get past it and regain access.

I've asked other folks to visit the same sites at the same time, and they can get through. I've tried accessing them on other devices on the same wifi network, and get through just fine. But I can't get to them any more on my main computer.

I've tried clearing cache and deleting cookies and data, and that hasn't helped.

I'm on Windows 10, and (now) Firefox 100.0. I'm in the UK, using Sky internet -- I don't know if that's relevant, but I didn't notice this problem before I moved here (from the US) last year.

As I said, I can still access the sites on another device (an iPad) on the same wifi, so I don't think it's the firewall in my router.

I don't have any antivirus installed -- just using Microsoft Defender. And I'm not using a VPN or anything like that. My browser privacy setting is "Standard"/

The only extensions I have installed are Facebook Container and LastPass.

What can I do to fix this? It's breaking the internet for me.

Hi,

I'm trying to access my Apple ID (appleid.apple.com). When I select "Sign In" the page hangs and never displays the fields to enter my user name and password. The message I get is "This action could not be completed because of an error. Try again or check back later."

Under Settings > General > Network Settings I selected No proxy and I disabled DNS over HTTPS. But neither of these actions made a difference.

Eventually, I had to use Microsoft Edge to access my account.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I used to be able to use firefox to order groceries on instacart with no errors or performance issues. Since the end of March, I cannot use the site without interminable errors and slow operation. Error 1727 seems to pop up a lot. I have tried clearing cache and cookies with no improvement.

This is my favorite browser by far, I am willing to pay to use it, but need the old reliable versions of Firefox back!

Today I had to use edge to get my order placed.  :(
