- Had 3 windows open with numerous tabs and tab groups - Firefox sync was enabled, as well as a 2-3 plugins AFAIK - Version installed is latest as of this writing 139.0.4 - Initial crash caused by opening and quickly closing (IF that succeeded before crash) a onedrive share link - Cannot start firefox any more, also not in safe mode - the only thing that works is launching it with a fresh profile.

The report ID is bp-a8c824fc-a7fb-4290-a72b-b63160250620

Ideally I can resolve this without needing to refresh or start over with a new profile

I am still using Win 7 but converting to Win 11. The most recent "patch Tuesday" update from MS killed Office 2016. Since then Fire Fox will occasionally pop up the "Couldn't load XPCOM." (no file extension) warning. It may do this when opened but not always. Can also occur in the midst of a session.

Program seems to be working correctly but some of my pinned locations disappeared when this started. New locations are retained between sessions. Is there a problem with continued operation with this warning? Is there something that I can do to repair it.

Firefox won't open. System says it can't find VCRUNTIME140.DLL. There are SEVERAL copies on the drive. I believe I Refreshed and Reinstalled? And still cannot run.

This is the first time Firefox has failed in years. There are no instructions for this specific problem. FWIW I just installed AURA seemingly without problems.

Whenever I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it brings up a system error that says, "The code execution cannot proceed because C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmls64.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I've tried completely deleting Firefox and reinstalling and it opens a new tab, but when I close it i get the same error message.

When trying to launch the browser from a network folder, I encounter the errors shown in the screenshots. If I launch the browser on one computer, everything is ok, but if I need to launch it on at least the second one, I encounter this error until I close the browser on the first one. I don’t know what could have happened, because I didn’t touch the configuration and everything worked fine for us last year. Nothing was updated or changed. Firefox Portable ini file configuration:

Hello, today I could not launch Firefox on my Mac. Because this is a corporate machine from Kyndryl, I downloaded from Kyndryl App Store, I have rebooted the systems, I have updated iOS to last version, but still haven't solved the issue. This is the situation: Firefox is installed, I click to launch it, I am asked to authenticate with MFA I authenticate correctly, and Firefox just sits at the dock bar jumping, then stops jumping, and nothing else happens. I repeated the process several times, made several reboots, nothing changed. Can you suggest a solution?

When I first open Firefox from the icon in my taskbar the opening window says the following:

'Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 0.0.0.4. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.'

However this is only the first window, after that I can open a new tab in the same window without any problems.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox without avail. Can anyone help please?

Is there a way to make the URL high lighting of the domain more obvious? I find that most people can barely see the highlighting and I'd like to make it obvious (bolder and red, or highlighted in yellow, for instance.)

Can this be done via userchrome.css?

Thanks,

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.
