Firefox Support Forum

Trying to allow a manufacturers' system scan after suffering longstanding desktop issues but before this can happen I have to download their support assist launcher. So the problem is, the download is blocked after the run/save window with another saying unknown publisher and so refuses to start downloading. The manufacturer says check internet connection. It's fine Now I've allowed the name of the support launcher in firewall via exceptions but it still won't load. Even tried it with firewall turned off. The download Icon TzsetupSfx, is shown in the downloads folder along with its file version 1.2.0.715 and name of publisher. So what can I do to get the download accepted by Firefox. I'm running 52.7 in win XP 3 pro. The manufacturers' URL is a www.

I'm running XP64 pro. The scripts on Yahoo will stall FF after a few minutes. Often I get the popup message that a plugin script has stalled and asks if I want to prevent seeing this again from the site. That's nice but every page on Yahoo is unique. So the stall happens on every page that isn't closed after a short while. The more stalls I get the slower my computer runs even though I use task manager to kill stalled processes. Then I have to reboot to clear out the FF remnants. Is there a way to kill remnants of stalled scripts without rebooting? Often FF crashes and asks me to send a report to Mozilla. Seems to me you guys should have a feature to enable extended logging for inclusion in crash reports. I have sent many requests to fix the problem. If you guys can't fix the root cause of the problem then can you at least provide a decent workaround so the memory doesn't get cluttered up with orphaned threads sucking up all my CPU power?

Hello, Pasted below is the report/details I get from Mozilla Crash Reporter. Is there any information in the report to help me fix the problem with my install? Thank you very much.

Clicking to launch Firefox immediately causes it to crash with the Mozilla Crash Report appearing. Even that doesn't work properly as I get a message reading, "There was a problem submitting your report."

I am connected, using IE to submit this request for help (the machine is XP). Below is the pasted Mozilla crash report information.

Thank you very much.

Firefox just updated and it moved my bookmarks toolbar ABOVE my navigation bar. I would like it below the navigation bar, like I had it for the last 12 years+ on Firefox. HOW DO I FIX THIS?

After entering some data such as the receipt date and time on the initial screen, then I continue to the 2nd screen which states "To complete this survey you need to have cookies enabled on your browser." However, I do have them enabled. Upon examining Options and then Privacy, I have the following "Accept third-party cookies: Always" AND "Keep until: they expire". Currently using Firefox 52.9.0 (32 bit). I did NOT have this problem a month ago. Any advice would be helpful.

On our non-persistent VDI environment we experiencing users where FireFox crashes frequently - We're running W7 Enterprise 32bits - Firefox version 60.6.1ESR 32 bits

i was expecting Sophos to causing this issue, so i created a new VDI machine without Sophos installed. The same issue appered.

I can reproduce the issue when launching a radio station on http://www.onlineluisteren.nl/ Issue appears between the 5 minutes and 2 hours

Worknotes: - Launched firefox in safe mode - Turned off hardware acceleration - created a new VDI image without our anti-virus 'Sophos' - issue was also happening with Firefox 60.5.2ESR

Will a patch for the Meltdown / Spectre vulnerabilities be released for the extended support release Firefox ESR v52.5?

I understand that the recent Firefox v57.0.4 patches this vulnerability but the 03-Jan-2018 Mozilla Security Blog entry at https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/03/mitigations-landing-new-class-timing-attack/ is unclear because it states a patch will be released for "all release channels, starting with 57".

32-bit Vista Home Premium SP2 * Firefox ESR v52.5.3 * Norton Security Premium v22.11.2.7

Crash happen frequently when I access different websites at different time, also, right click the images and save to folder will cause a short time hang. When I reboot firefox with Safe Mode, not see the crash again for a long time , could anyony can help to analyse why this happen? Thanks!

I, very reluctantly, upgraded from 24.6.0 ESR to 31.4.0 ESR. I did not want to go to that version but Firefox did that itself. If I attempt to update Firefox, it claims I am up-to-date HOWEVER when I start Firefox, it claims I am NOT up-to-date!

You can't have it both ways.

ESR 45.2.0 locking up since update from ESR 38. Various video programs. Similar to problems that I had 9/2015 before switching from regular FF to ESR 38. Very frustrating since I was not having this problem before the recent update of esr from 38 to 45.2.0. Any way to go back to ESR 38?

Firefox version 52 ESR Win XP OS. Silverlight plug-in stopped working just yesterday on Netflix and my Win XP Pro OS. I have uninstalled the older version and downloaded the correct version I need 5.1.4.1.2 and it is installed but still doesn't work with Netflix. I cannot find in the registry Netflix and Silverlight permission to run the plug in. This is a problem and needs to be fixed. I don't have the money or means to upgrade my OS at this time. I have no tv either. I have been in contact with Microsoft and Netflix and they determined that the problem lies with Mozilla. I cannot use any other browser as Chrome does not work with Netflix and Win XP either due to unable to update WidevineCdm on XP.

Firefox was fine until, one day... crashes on startup, even in safe mode. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling - same problem. I'm told no changes were pushed out at that time.

Thanks for your help with a stubborn problem. I have an Asus N750 notebook, running Windows 8.1, 64 bit. I reported this problem about 1 week ago and was helped temporarily by reinstalling an updated Nvidia GeForce N750 graphics display driver. However , the problem has recurred. I have tried many approaches, including uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of Firefox, including 58.0b7 and currently version 52.5.0,ESR using Profile Manager to create a new profile, checking RAM memory, using sfc.exe, and finally a newer version still of an Nvidia Game Ready version 388.00 display driver. I have enabled crash data to be sent, but not sure if this is reaching you before the crash occurs. Crash ID: bp-750d516e-1705-44fd-be90-1a4961171117 from 17/11/2017, the last successfully submitted one? Yours sincerely, Philip

We are currently having to role back to FireFox ESR 52.9 from the latest Quantum build of FireFox 60.3.0. Due to the fact that this version utilizes WebGl 2. Our older systems will not render one of the educational games we utilize in the our School District any longer due to the fact that Quantum uses WebGl 2 instead WebGl 1. We have tested and verified that ESR 52.9 renders the game properly.

I have been trying to disable the automatic update in utilizing the user.js file and the cfg file. The computers are apart of the domain. From what I have read only new user profiles will get the new user.js settings while all existing profiles will retain the old settings so we plan on reimaging these computers so all existing profiles will be wiped.

I have also seen users block the updates by changing the Host File which we will not do. Some sites state create a profile folder in the defaults folder other show place the user.js file in the pref folder. So I am lost at this point. I have followed this guide as well:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment_before_60#Changes_Over_Time

I have placed the 00_admin-prefs.js with the exact settings shown and have the mozilla.cfg file in the same folder as the js. both are in the defaults\pref

When trying to run FireFox I am am not getting:

Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your Administrator. (I am the Admin). My domain creds give me admin privileges on all computers.

I know this folder also holds the channel-pref.js so I am not sure if I can add what I need to that file.

If someone would please help me determine what is going on. Why wont firefox copy the either a user.js file or utilize the cfg file I created to each new profile that gets created when logging into the computer.

Hello. I want to install Firefox ESR on top of my current installation, but what will change when I do so? What is different in ESR?

See, I have downgraded to FF 40 due to extension/add-on problems with FF 42, but I don't want an unsafe/unstable browser. ESR was recommended, but I'm confused about it. Will all my bookmarks, themes, add-ons, etc. remain the same? Is there a different updating schedule, and how does it work? I really need some help here.

Thank you!

Firefox keep crashing on startup, also in safe mode. I've already did an uninstall, removed the folders in "c:\program files (x86)", "%appdata%\mozilla" and reinstall, but it didn't solve the crashes.

I have downloaded flashplayer29_ha_install.exe but it fails to install flash. I have Firefox 52 on PC with Windows Vista 64-bit. The article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-flash-plugin-view-videos-animations-games has not helped. The only plugins showing in my Firefox browser are OpenH264 and Widevine, no sign of Flash anywhere.

I can log in. soon as I click something inside of mail.com account, it says "restoring session" and logs me out. does not do this with other browsers and it use to work on this one. I have cookies on so I guess that is not the issue? FF 52.8.0 ESR. still happens with extensions turned off.
