Hi i sandboxec firefox process, but i lose sound capabilities... This is the cmd line messages:

(firefox:10): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: 08:49:34.055: Unable to get session bus: Could not connect: Permission denied [Child 52, MediaDecoderStateMachine #1] WARNING: 7f7766fe13c0 OpenCubeb() failed to init cubeb: file /build/firefox-1MxnM8/firefox-90.0+build1/dom/media/AudioStream.cpp:324 [Child 52, MediaDecoderStateMachine #1] WARNING: Decoder=7f775c0f0c00 [OnMediaSinkAudioError]: file /build/firefox-1MxnM8/firefox-90.0+build1/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachine.cpp:3941

what is the workaround to fix sound?

Firefox 90.x (when opened - all cache clean, all history etc clean) causes temperature of mac to increase from 32 to 37C without actually doing anything. When browsing (without plugins) normal new sites, temperature increases to 40C.

How can I DOWNGRADE to v 89.x without losing info? Thank you.

I have a laptop that I used from 2012 to 2015, and sometimes I start it up in order to check my Firefox history and find some URL that I visited once. Today when I tried that, I couldn't get the history. Ctrl+Shift+H didn't work, and when I hit the History menu, the option "Show All History" was gray. What should I do?

I opened the profile folder and saw that there's a big file called places.sqlite, which I think is the history file.

I did set up Sync once, though it didn't seem to do anything -- the history was still what it was when i stopped using that laptop. But I notice today that if I start to type in the address bar a URL that I have used recently on my present laptop, then it suggests the whole URL. In other words, it knows what I've been doing recently on my present laptop.

Hi all, i'm having an issue where everytime i start the browser, a facebook "tile" shows up in the first empty square in the main page shortcuts section, i disabled the sponsored shortcuts, and removed it, but it keeps coming back, no idea what to do.

I've been using site https://mail.aol.com/webmail-std/en-us/suite for years to log in to AOL email for years and now, with Firefox v90, it takes over 2 minutes to load. It takes only a couple seconds with the Edge browser. I've tried troubleshooting mode, a refresh and a complete re-installation without any improvement. This never happened in previous versions of Firefox.

Any help is appreciated, Gary S.

Had this problem for a while. Didn't know how to describe the effect; Firefox renders PNGs as glitched tartan images => screen-caps attached. I'm running 90.0.2. I did a Firefox refresh - the problem still persists. Works fine on Chrome based browsers.

My motherboard died and I need to transfer all of my Firefox data to new system. Old hard drive is accessible. Especially need passwords I cannot remember! I copied logins and got those, and copied old profile data to new system,but passwords and logins do not show up. Being old and not very bright (obviously) I didn't record some passwords and don't remember them!

This morning my option to display book marks doesn't seem to be there. I can display or hide the toolbar, but the actual display on the wide of the screen does not seem to be there and I can't figure out how to get it back. Did Mozilla change things or am I just old? thanks. brian

Take a look at the screenshots. The second device is called "Firefox on HUAWEI LIO-L29", but I renamed it to "Mate 30 Pro" (screenshot 2).

Why is the device name displayed not "Mate 30 Pro", as in the case of "Macbook D14"? I renamed the device in Firefox settings a few days ago.

In Firefox 90.0.1 (64bit) Windows 10, the text in certain web pages, include the main news page of bbc.com has become completely invisible (no width but they are there).

I have disabled all extensions but the problem is still there. I have also tried turning off graphics acceleration but the problem still persisted.

However, if I start Firefox in Safe Mode then the problem goes away. How should I pin point the cause of the issue?

I am having a new problem with < https://www.citi.com/ > I have used this website for years with Ffox with noo problem. What I experience now is that I can login and use it just fine, i.e. access any of its links, except if I try to use the Virtual Credit Card (VCC) feature. To use that feature you login, select VCC, which takes you to a new page, on which you launch a popup that generates the VC. My issue is that I login, select he VCC page, but instead it takes me back to the main screen to login again. This circular problem can continue as many times as I try it. Below I list my equipment and trouble shooting steps.

I am using a win10 PC running 21H1 and the current version of FFox. I have a Malwarebytes Browser Guard installed (MB).

1. I tried the login on my Surface GO running win10 Home Edition and no MB installed. It worked fine. 2. I tried to login with Chrome and Edge on my PC, neither with the MB browser guard, and they work fine. 3. I have had the MB installed for quite some time and the Citi site always worked fine. Nevertheless I disabled it. That made no difference. 4. Next I clicked the FFox shield and disabled the Enhance Tracking protection. No difference. 5. I deleted all cookies and cache info related to citi, amounting to 10 entries. That made no difference. 6. I deleted all cookies and cache totally. Now I was able to log in and go to the VCC page. 7. I closed out of the citi site and tried to re login. The problem reappeared. 8. I deleted all cookies and cache yet again, closed FFox, launched it again, tried the Citi site and it worked fine. 9. I logged out of citi, tried to log in again, and once more it did not work.

Any ideas?

I am unable to delete bookmarks using any of the standard methods: cut, remove, delete and am not comfortable venturing down the rabbit hole of " places.sqlite" . I have good enough computer skills but have no business going into that realm. This seems absurd to me that this requires delving into the deep files and clicking on things I do not understand that sound like I'm doing something I shouldn't be touching.

Any solution??

One of the beauties of firefox has long been that I could use the backspace bar instead of the back button to return to the previous page when browsing. Somewhere in the last updates this wonderful functionality was lost. Is there anyway I can restore this? I'm suffering from Parkinson's Disease which oftentimes makes controlling my mouse nearly impossible.

I have two problems when navigating on any page:

1. incomplete texts in which letters disappear from each word.

2. color distortion in letters, images and icons with a green color.

thanks for your support ! here are some examples of both problems
