My firefox app on my windows will not start. I have removed and reloaded several times. Sometimes it works but as soon as I turn off my computer and turn it on later, it will not start

As per the topic title. I would like pages to always automatically translate from english to my chosen language. However, when I select the option in the context menu, then revisit the setting, the check box remains unchecked. This remains the case on multiple tested operating systems, Arch Linux and Linux Mint. Thank you in advance.

So anytime about a month ago, everytime I boot up my PC then first thing I do is double click on Firefox to open it and that worked fine until a month ago, now when I do it youll see the circle spin for 1 second and spot but Firefox doent open, no matter how many times I click on it, the only way Ive gotten it to work is that I have to restart my pc and try again until it eventually DOES open when I click on it, I usually have to restart 3-5 times before itll open.

Im wondering why that is and how to fix it? I havent done anything new to my PC since then, no new Firefox addons, also if there was a problem with Firefox itself then restarting should never make it open yet it eventually works after a few restarts. soooo i cant be Firefox right? Ive also tried refreshing firefox as well as going to add and remove programs and uninstalled it then reinstalled it the issue still remains, any way to fix this?

Ever since the latest update, whenever I right click the Firefox icon in the pinned tiles on the Windows Start Menu, the options to launch a new tab, new window and a new private window don't show up. They show up when I pin Firefox to the taskbar but not the Start Menu.

The Russian language is not listed in the "To" part when I want to translate a page. Although it IS listed if the page is in Russian, so it suggests to translate from Russian to some other language. The language is installed in settings.

Firefox will not update when I click the restart button. Firefox restarts but does not update. Closing Firefox manually (X) several times did not help. I had to restart my laptop and then Firefox updated. This started happening the update before 136.0.3, which is my current version. I don't want to keep restarting my laptop every time there is a Firefox update, which seems to be happening more frequently.

I am trying to sign in , Firefox is my browser. message come on that firefox is running but it does not open. I close it once and again as the same sign comes uo telling me it is running and close the attempts.

Do I really NEED to swithc to another browser to avoid this?

Firefox will not open in my Windows 11 desktop; is Microsoft playing games with non-Microsoft applications or is there a problem with my browser? fresh install does not help! last week I had to reset Windows 11 because nothing would open in my desktop...... reloading all my application is not near the top of my wish list having already done it twice! all the Microsoft stuff opens fine; even my copy of Office 2003?

I have updated FF on four PCs to 136.0.3. On just one PC, FF launches to a small window which is completely non-functional. None of the visible controls do anything. I can't move the window but I can resize it but everything is greyed out except the search bar. I can type in the search bar but get no search.

I have read a number of similar posts, but these fixes do not work: I cannot toggle the full screen using F12, I cannot change the launch behavior by setting 'maximize' in the shortcut properties, Deleting xulstore.json (repeatedly) does not fix (I have no localstore.rdf), I have no access to any of the normal FF controls that would let me refresh or troubleshoot.

I could always reinstall, but thought I would ask first.

I have this message after returning from nightly version to the stable one: ``` Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox. ```

I can not open my firefox browser. I never had this problem before. When I click on the icon I have on my bottom of my computer it says I can not get on it says many different error messages being sent. I am not a computer whiz so what should I do? should I uninstall it and re-stall it? would I loose everything I have book marked. HELP

Hello,

I have encountered an issue on some websites where the Japanese text is using the font "Microsoft YaHei" when it should be using "Meiryo." Some examples are on the website bluesky, and bold text on Twitter such as in usernames.

I originally thought it was an issue on my end or in Windows, but when checking other programs and websites such as dengekionline and the non-bold text on Twitter it is using the correct font which I have confirmed via the inspector under the font section. When starting Firefox in safe mode it seems to use the correct font on the previously mentioned websites, so I disabled all my extensions and themes and this did not resolve the issue. I did a Firefox Refresh and this also did not resolve the issue.

I am not familiar with the intricacies on the Firefox about:config to really delve into the exact cause, so I ended up just reverting back to Firefox 134. On Firefox 134 with my same extensions previously the font is now back to Meiryo as it should be which leads me to believe it is something that was changed in Firefox 135. One thing I am considering is that the Japanese text is being recognized as Simplified Chinese by Firefox 135 as Simplified Chinese uses the Microsoft YaHei font as a default.

I have attached some photos that shows my Japanese font settings, and the same post by a user one on Firefox 135 which is using Microsoft YaHei and another on Firefox 134 which is using the correct Meiryo. I have also tried disabling the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" and then restarting on 135, but this did not resolve the issue. Thank you for your consideration.
