ubuntu 16.04, firefox 68.0.1. New instance started after "updated in background" restart just sits there. Add-ons are not started, tabs are not restored as promised. Typing in URL bar and hitting enter does nothing. No response to attempt to open a bookmark. Typing "about:support", no response. I tried removing and re-installing firefox with "sudo apt", no help. Starting firefox without addons, no help. The "about:firefox" display shows no change in version number. A reboot is the only thing that cures this. It has now happened 8 times (8/2, 8/5, 8/9. 8/16 and 4 times earlier). I have about-buildconfig, about-firefox and about-support from 8/2 and 8/5 if they would be helpful.

Every few days when i try to use Youtube or Google in Firefox i get the Error Message "Secure Connection Failed" and the Code "PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR". This is very annoying and i did not find a way to fix this for me. The only workaround is using another browser. I have the Version 68.0.2

For example if I go to https://jsfiddle.net/01tpr8sd/, a dialogue will pop up asking me which application I'd like to use to handle this link, while it should have triggered the internal U2F implementation. I have tried starting Firefox in safe mode and resetting values that look relevant in about:config but neither of them helped.
It doesn't happen if I create a fresh new profile though, but I really want to avoid the hassle of backing up all the extension configurations... Please help, thanks a lot.

File upload causes Firefox to be unresponsive and must close browser to continue. Tried all the fixes. Other browsers fine. Several computers.
Please if you have any suggestions, I'll try them. I thought a new clean computer might solve the problem, but no luck there either.
During use, websites take too long to load. Have to exit out & restart

Hello,
I've been having some trouble with my Firefox install on my Windows 10 64 bit machine. I'm running FF v68.0.2 and I've been hitting some trouble. If I've been using the browser for more than 10 minutes or so with a couple (2-4) tabs open, all the browser will take forever - 45 seconds to a minute if at all - to load any website. I check my task manager and it doesn't seem to be using an exorbitant amount of CPU or memory, it just doesn't load the site. I have to exit out of FF and restart and it works fine again for a bit.
Anyone else had this? I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling, but it doesn't fix the issue. I'd prefer to keep using FF over Chrome or Edge, but I'm losing my patience with this. I've never had an issue like this in the past.

Suddenly I can not login to my bank account. Neither in Chrome or Microsoft Edge. In Firefox, a connection time out, the server is taking to long to respond appears all the time after several minutes waiting. I can login to others websites like ebay or facebook with no problem and I can login to my bank using my mobile app. It is just the bank and is aggravating. Contact bank tech support they said they don't have any problems with the webpage, yes they don't have but I have! I clear the history, the cache and the cookies but still have the same problem.

2 Updates ago Firefox was fine now Firefox's tab with video in it crashes. Here is what is happening:
1. Open a website and start streaming a video. 2. I also play World of tanks on my second monitor. 3. After sometime Firefox's Tab where video is playing freezes and the only thing to do is to close it. BUT all other tabs are ok and responsive. I have updated Flash player, but I don't need it to watch videos where I am watching them.
This problem started to occur since about 2 updates ago, I never had such problem before. I tried watching videos on different sites, in Safe Mode, I refreshed the Firefox, I re-installed the Firefox, I updated/uninstalled Adobe Flash, I disabled the Hardware Acceleration, Firefox still freezes. Same problem is happening with Chrome and MS Edge, but for some reason OPERA works fine.
Please help me to troubleshoot this problem.
Thank you.

After a system reboot this morning, the scrollbar is unclickable (wheel based scrolling works). So is everything to the right of the address bar on that toolbar in fullscreen mode (in non-fullscreen mode, the buttons for bookmarks and add ons work, the hamburger menu does not). So are the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons on the window in full screen mode (in non-fullscreen mode, the minimize and maximize work, exit does not). Whatever is the right most tab in my list cannot be clicked. Right clicking any of these things brings up a menu with a single option- copy. The app is unusable in this state.
I have tried restarting in safe mode, this didn't fix anything. The only addons I have are noscript and adblock+.
