Firefox Community Forum

Is there a program to fix firefox after an up date as it now can't browse.. Or is the answer go to Opera. As there seems to be no answers on here. Firefox has been good up until this year as every time it update it has problems or removes most of my stuff I use daily. I have been on my pc for over 3 hours trying to find how to fix it.

Latest update (10/2/24) is impossible to use. How can I get back the prior version for Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 on my Macbook Air?

I have a TBI that really limits my ability to process information. The tabs now have a dropdown that is very confusing and gets in the way of my working. I have to shut Firefox and leave the computer, but of course when I am recovered from the confusion, I come back to the same situation.

I was able to find a way to stop the even-more-frustrating dropdown video preview, but it's not enough.

I have relied on FF for years, but it seem that putting more bells & whistles is more important than providing a functional browser interface. Please explain to me in plain English how to remove the overloaded browser and revert to a version I can utlize without a breakdown.

When i browse any web site then it sometime show me different language. in my case here you see some different language but it properly English language. so you assist me how to solve this problem.

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

I want to play my "Lord of the Rings" DVDs, but my DVD player on my lap top won't play them. But it will play most other films. I need help with this problem. Thank you for any advice.

Please am still interested to help me to get to the interview page am available waiting for the interview and am waiting for your update considering response thanks.

Firefox (and thunderbird, as well) seems to be suspending network activity when doing a vt-switch or user-switching or locking the screen. The effect of this is that ongoing downloads freeze and are resumed (sometimes fail) only after unlocking the screen.

Chromium, wget, etc., on the other hand appear unaffected and the download progresses during screen lock / vt-switch.

I do not remember when exactly this problem started, but could have been since a couple of years.

This problem also occurs when running the latest firefox (downloaded tarball from mozilla site) and a blank profile. So it could be some interaction between firefox and the window manager / xsession.

My setup is a desktop computer connected via ethernet cable running XFCE on Debian.

How do I go about diagnosing / fixing the issue?

Thank you. Raj Kiran

Win 10 64-bit. Updated to Ffx 131.0. Can't use most of my websites. It's blocking or preventing something. Had to use Chrome to re-do my mother's Walmart grocery order because it wouldn't load the screen to enter her EBT card PIN. Wouldn't log in to the State Farm website to pay bills. Downgrading to v 130. How to know when these problems are fixed?' I had to use Chrome instead. Some websites don't work w/ Ffx, such as California Lifeline (https://californialifeline.com/en/provider_search), but I can live with that. Chrome uses too many resources and slows my laptop to a crawl, and Edge is just... Ick. Can't get rid of it. Will try installing v 130 for now. I have too much info in Ffx to uninstall or reset it.

I and my clients LOVE Mozilla and Ffx, but I, for one, can't afford the time to beta-test like this. Lost the WM grocery pickup window for Mom because of this. Wasted way too much time on too many occasions & had to downgrade over and over. Programming since the 1970s, so I know better: Wait for the screams to die down before upgrading any software. My bad. Thought you should know at least a couple of the problems with the new update. BTW: Logged in, but had to search the web to find out how to post this question. Is there a quick way to report problems?

I have no way to log in to my google accounts right now. On any google site, if I hit log-in it redirects me to this page:

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies. My firefox browser is up to date. I tried disabling ad blocker and cookie auto-delete. Javascript is enabled and I even tried turning on that feature that prevents page redirects. I'm truly at a loss for what to do.
