Firefox Support Forum

Running Firefox 103.0.2 (64 bit) over windows 10 on a Dell Latitude E5440.

At the end of the day, I close Firefox. It takes several minutes for the 8 or so processes that linger in the system to exit. 2 minutes after that, I get the Firefox Crashed pop-up. I always send the crash report.

On restart, Firefox takes 3-5 minutes to load data from contile-images.services.mozilla.com before I can actually use the browser.

This happens daily, whether Firefox is the first or last application closed, or whether I wait several minutes after everything else is closed before I close Firefox.

Are there settings I can change to prevent this?

Thanks,

Why did you choose to waste desktop space with so much white space between Bookmarks? I use Firefox because the bookmarks can be arranged on the left pane and I can quickly access hundreds of frequently visited web sites without having to use the scroll bar.

I have been designing user interfaces for over 25 years and cannot understand the reason for this. It is not any easier to read and much less productive and more time consuming. To be as productive as I was with the older versions, I need twice as much vertical space. The Bookmark setup was the biggest advantage to Firefox and why we were using it.

I am also extremely disappointed that you did away with the colors for folders. The empty white outline makes it more difficult to read. If the Folders were colored and the white space was eliminated, we could fit twice as many bookmarks and with much improved readability.

It is not cool or fancy or trendy - it is much worse than the older interface.

Hello,

First to clarify, this is a Firefox issue, because every other browser does not have the same issue.

I've tried audios from different websites such as spotify, twitch, instagram, youtube, facebook, netflix, amazon prime.... And the audio are failling, There is audio in the video but it is like when your internet is pretty bad and the audio is not working properly.

I've tried removing all addons, clearing the entire cache and cookier - re-installing firefox. none of the above worked.

I am trying to 'fork' my FF, duplicating my profile on to a stick, then modify each one so that my work related bookmarks, saved passwords, cookies, history etc are in one profile, and my social/general bookmarks, cookies, passwords etc are in the other. I have done this and using about:profiles can open the non-default (USB stick) profile in a new window, or set the non default profile as default, close, re-open FF into the alternate profile. All good so far. However this isnt working quite as I expected. If I switch to alternate profile, save a bookmark to the shortcut bar, then switch back to the other profile then after a second or two the bookmark I saved in the other profile appears on the shortcut bar?!? This happens whether I have opened alt profile in a new window, or have changed the default profile and restarted FF into the other profile. Is this because in both instances it is using the same local directory? The doesnt seem to be an option to choose a different local directory for the alt profile. This would be ideal if possible as it would ensure that there are no data crumbs left on my PC when using the USB stick profile which is important for my work security. Any help really appreciated.

something is wrong with this browser. I can instantly watch any video on youtube in operas, but in firefox i keep getting this annoying error. I have put effort into it to try to fix it, i've downloaded every flash and ffmpeg plugin i could find and nothing works.

i don't mean to be annoying but i keep running into problems with this browser and i don't want to just give up and use opera. why do so many things need fixing? i'm definitely not used to this.

M FF is really messed up. Too many pages do no appear correctly. I am not savvy and do not want to mess around. I would rather find which files to save for passwords and bookmarks and do an uninstall and a clean reinstall. If anyone is kind enough to give me a step by step on how do do this. Firstly which files do I save fore mym bookmarks and passowrd, after I have those files I guess I can uninstall and reinstall then replace those. Thanks

cannot access one particular website. either error message 'timed out' OR 'problem loading page' appears. I have tried two browers and several search engines; removed bookmark/favorites and saved password for this site

Firefox just updated and now there's a significant white border at the bottom of the browser. This interferes with websites that cannot scroll to get to the information hidden. What happened?! Fix this!

Over the past few weeks, any time I copy a link, whether it's an email address or a URL, from within any page while using Firefox, FF will freeze? Pause? not respond.. for 5 - 15 seconds. I've not done a reset yet.. Windows 11, 16GB RAM, 2GB Video, religiously updated and maintained laptop

I'm a realtor and I use firefox as my browser bc I have all apple products and an esign portal that I use doesn't work with explorer. Two days ago firefox stopped allowing me to open my MLS browser Navicamls.net. I can open it on internet explorer or any other computer that is not a mac, but I can no longer open it using firefox.

I am using Firefox 103.0.2 and the bookmarks colours have changed from yellow to grey. I have tried the following solutions:

1. https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html - I downloaded the .css file and copied it in the chrome folder in my profile 2. toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets - I set the preference to true.

Is there any way I can make them look yellow again?

Up-to-date Firefox on Windows 10 laptop. Today, for the 2nd time in a week or so, the “mailto” function has disappeared; i.e., if I click a “Send email” link on a webpage, the Windows dialogue box to select a mail app pops up. When I check the applications setting, mailto doesn't appear in the list.

The first time this happened, I found online instructions to refresh Firefox and select Gmail as the mail client. I don’t mind doing it again, but I am concerned about the problem occurring so soon after the recent refresh.

Whenever I try and use any google website I get the PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. Occasionally the pages load up properly but 95% of the time "PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR" will occur. This is getting frustrating as other webpages are loading normally e.g. duckduckgo, amazon. As I use google primarily for browsing and work this is making firefox unusable for me at the moment. I have temporarily switch to Edge which also seems to work fine.

In the Flatpak version of Firefox 103.0.2 the resize handles do not appear when you hover over any of the 4 edges of the firefox window unless you hold down the left mouse button, then they appear, but you have to get the mouse pointer just right before pressing the left mouse button. I notice on several forums that this has been like this for the last 2 months, are the team at Mozilla working on a fix, cheers
