Firefox Support Forum

Since my last Firefox update, tabs crash or freeze and cannot be resolved. Each time, I have to shut down Firefox to open a tab. This makes shopping impossible as links to payments do not respond or say they are loading but never load. I have tried all the possible solutions and fixes mentioned on here but nothing is working. I have never had any trouble with Firefox before so this is a pain.

How does https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306789#answer-1354823 differ to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quarantined-domains#:~:text=how%20can%20i%20re-enable%20the%20add-ons%20that%20are%20not%20allowed%20on%20sites%20restricted%20by%20mozilla%3F ?

My website keeps coming up as deceptive via Firefox. According to the hosting site (Wix) none of the other scanners are flagging it. We have tried everything and Wix says it could be a false positive. How can I get rid of the flag?

Thanks,

Hi Mozilla community, I hope you can see the image i loaded. Have others seen this message? What is the fall out? Should I get Mozilla VPN? thank you so much!

I prefer to have all my previous tabs open when I start up Firefox, which means that I don't want them to close upon exit. Recently, Firefox started closing my tabs upon exit, even though:

- I tried both hitting the X and choosing Exit from the hamburger menu
- I have checked "Open previous windows and tabs" upon startup in settings
- I have not checked "Delete Cookies and Site Settings when Firefox is closed"

- I have the option "Firefox will remember history" selected

- I do not open in Private Browsing mode

What other settings do I need to change? Debra

When I highlight text and move my cursor down to the bottom edge of the screen to scroll, it is super slow when going down. However if I do the same and scroll upwards by moving my mouse cursor to the top edge to scroll, it scrolls at a reasonable fast rate. The issue does not fix when I start in safe mode, or in private windows. The issue is exclusive to highlighting text and holding down to scroll. My scroll speed by clicking the scroll bar is normal, and so is using two fingers on my laptop (Asus Zenbook 14) to scroll down.

I don't encounter slow click and drag scrolling on google chrome.

Firefox 118.0.2 Windows 10 I cleared cache and cookies and since then when logging on to NatWest the "Remember Me" option will not work, I have to type in my customer number every time. I'm sure I had this problem a few years ago but cannot remember what fixed it. Tried contacting an agent of NatWest but their response was the expected "clear cache and try another browser" so no help at all. Probably a long shot but has anyone any idea what I am missing?

It really irritates me whenever i use youtube, facebook and other kinds of websites. The missing of the round corners makes the whole page sucks and ugly. I tried updating firefox, checked my settings, nothing changed. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello. I don't know what happened. Ive had FIREFOX since I got my computer almost 9 years ago. I really like them. I turned on the computer this morning, and it's ALL BING!!! I don't want BING. FIREFOX was the BEST!!! I don't know what happened. I'm old and I don't know a lot about computers. Could you please help me? Thank you so much. I honestly just turn this on and off. I don't know how to do any "fancy" things with a computer. Thank you so much, for knowing so much. Sorry to say, I don't know that much.

After a windows update yesterday, when I started Firefox it didn't load my previous session as usual. Previously, I've been able to go to settings and restore the session, but there were no options for that and the relevant session wasn't shown in the recently closed tabs or windows, even though the history was intact. It loaded a new/blank window, and since then when I close and either re-open or try to restore a previous session, it only opens the tabs that I've opened today.

Firefox 118.0.2 (64-bit), Windows 10 PC.

Here are the steps I've taken:

1. Turned off the "Open previous windows and tabs" in the startup options to get access to the "restore previous session" option
2. Gone to the profile folder and copied, then removed the contents of the sessionstore-backups folder
3. Copied the relevant backup session file (looks like it has the tabs I need when I scan it) to my desktop and renamed it "sessionstore.jsonlz4"
4. Replaced the existing "sessionstore.jsonlz4" file in the root profile folder with the new one from my backups
5. Reopened Firefox

It still just loaded my tabs from today, and doesn't show the session I'm looking for in recently closed tabs or recently closed windows. When I go to about::sessionstore, it says it's having trouble getting my tabs and pages back, and there's no option to reload a session.

I checked my sessionCheckpoints file in my profile root folder, and it only had these values: {"profile-after-change":true,"final-ui-startup":true,"sessionstore-windows-restored":true}

I updated it to include these values and restarted again, but the result was identical: {"profile-after-change":true,"final-ui-startup":true,"sessionstore-windows-restored":true,"quit-application-granted":true,"quit-application":true,"sessionstore-final-state-write-complete":true,"profile-change-net-teardown":true,"profile-change-teardown":true,"profile-before-change":true}

When I open the sessionstore.jsonlz4 file in Notepad++ I can read it normally, and when I just double-click to open it in Firefox it appears to parse correctly in terms of both structure and data... the tab 0/entry 0/URL shows the URL of the first tab that I had open, tab 1/entry 0/URL shows the URL of the second tab, and so on. So it looks like the data is there, but I can't seem to force Firefox to load that.

Any suggestions for what I'm missing?

I maintain the website for a small dog club and use Wordpress with plug-ins to provide page flipping through pdf files in a members only area of the site. The plug-in is D-flip. I have attached .jpg files made using the Fireshot extension both FF and Chrome browsers. I also saved the page as an .htm format file which when displayed does not appear the same as the original page.

Sometimes there are interesting articles an e-mail contact would like to read but my settings will not allow it to be forwarded. I also lose connection constantly.

I need to know how to stop the tool bar from popping down whenever my mouse hits the top of the screen in fullscreen with hide toolbars selected, no other browser I have used does this so I dont know if it is intentional but if it is please tell me how to make it go away, thank you.

Corporate IT revisions seem to be starting to narrowing the range of browsers that will function on their websites - specifically with regard to the creation and management of an "account" at the website - to just Google’s Chrome or Microsoft’s Edge.

At the websites of the two following companies (one, a major health insurance company, and the other, a major waste disposal company), I had previously navigated to my account with Firefox without trouble ... until up-dates or revisions to the website rendered access to accounts impossible with Firefox. In each case, I called to ask for help with my problem, only to be told that the website's accounts were no longer configured to work with browsers other than Chrome or Edge, and to try using one of them rather than Firefox!

-- Blue Shield of California – by 2022, the change being made sometime in 2021 or early 2022 (a year when I had to be with another insurer) -- WM (formerly "Waste Management") – mid-2023.

As a result of my loyalty to Mozilla Firefox's promise of privacy and disdain for Chrome and Edge, I have lost access to the utility and convenience of an on-line account with both my insurer and my garbage collection service - irritating to say the least.

I am uneasy, moreover, that this might signal the beginnings of a trend if greater resistance is not raised to failing to accommodate the use of Firefox as an internet browser. Neither company's customer service representative was impressed by my personal objection; clearly it will take more concerted, organized pressure not to blow off those netizens who use Firefox rather than its data-sucking competitors.

Please, what can "we", Firefox users & Mozilla, do to resist being squeezed out by IT departments who cannot be bothered with extra configuration labor required to include accommodating Firefox?!

Whenever I try to watch a video or stream (any site) I can watch the video just fine as long as the audio is muted. However, when I unmute the idea, the video pretty much stops (can stutter a little bit) and the audio plays a roughly 5 second loop of when it was unmuted. This happens on all sites, all formats of videos.

Sometimes I get notifications from Firefox which send me to "usefulcontentsite.com" (don't click this, might be harmful!) and when I click them, uBlock Origin blocks them. So I'm pretty certain that is spam (or worse). However, I could never attribute this to any page or maybe some harmful extension I have installed. Also, I mostly block site's requests for notifications.

Here is the list of installed add-ons: - ClearURLs (recommended by Mozilla) - Firefox Multi-Account Containers (official extension) - KeePassXC-Browser - uBlock Origin (recommended by Mozilla) - User-Agent Switcher and Manager (recommended by Mozilla)

So imo nothing exotic here.

Does anyone here have a clue where those notifications might come from?

I switched from chrome to firefox like 2 days ago. Everything went good, but every time i go to youtube it does not remember my login. I have to click the login button and use my phone to confirm the login. Afterwards i get send to an error page only saying "something went wrong". If i click the login button again it suddenly works and i can use my youtube like i used to on Chrome. I use my google account for youtube. Every other login works just fine Reddit, Disney+, Twitch, Prime. I Cleared all my cookies and history and even reinstalled Firefox. only youtube still has this problem. I even added the youtube and google login page to the saved logins. Does someone can offer any help ?
