Firefox Support Forum

Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

For almost year Firefox screenshot feature missing from everywhere including customize toolbar section. So if it's not in customize tool bar section, which means I cannot drag it either to menu area.

There is no topic on the internet about this issue at all. Where did it go? and how to bring back up. Firefox version is : 107.0.1

Hi! Videos on twitter like these (https://twitter.com/franceinter/status/1602576964895870977) cannot be played (error message is : this media could not be read) & I also cannot watch any streams on twitch (error 3000). However, I can watch these medias without any problem on other browsers. I somehow don't have any problem with youtube.

My windows, my drivers & firefox are all up to date. I disabled all my add-ons and started FF in safe mode, it did nothing. I disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available", I allowed all audio & videos on autoplay, I cleared all the cache & cookies. There are no exceptions in my permissions. I don't really know what to do anymore.

Thank you for the answer & have a good day!

Gah your tab crashed happening on version 107 frequently. Very annoying and I have gone through FFX Refresh. NO Change. Windows 10 64bit. Malwares is enabled and I have Norton 360 running. There don't seem to be any solutions listed even though more than 42 posts having this problem, some since level 88! I usually have about 4 tabs open including Google calendar and Google contacts. Sometimes selecting a link from Thunderbird email just results in a blank page with the correct URL showing but page loading not completing. At other times clicking a link in one tab results in a new tab that then hangs the same way. At that stage, clicking on the other open tabs (Calendar etc) gives the Gah message. The only way to recover seems to be to stop and start FFX. Clicking on the buttons in the error message (Close Tab / Restore Tab) does nothing at all.

A solution would be welcomed.

hey all,

I've had this site that i have no recollection of visiting always there, pinned at the top of my search suggestions but i never bothered with it, till today when i decided to remove it.

I tried all the things i can think of and searched for a solution to no avail, any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Running into a strange problem with FireFox on Windows that I cannot replicate on IOS and Android devices.

I created a custom font and it seems that at 100% zoom my characters are getting chopped on the bottom. At 90% and 120% its renders correctly.

I have attached a sample screenshot with the font at 120% and the font at 100% resized so they are equal in total pixel volume to illustrate the difference.

Already looked at the following:

• Turning off ClearType in Windows.
• Various settings using the font-smoothing css property:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../font-smooth

Neither of these seem to have any effect. Because my font is meant to have an old school video game style and feel the way that it renders, trying to smooth it over has a negative effect.

I realize the fix may not be something that can be changed in FireFox itself, but if anyone who has experience with this type of issue can offer any advice or guidance it would be greatly appreciated.

You can play around with the zoom levels with my font here: https://www.stevesgames.com/about

I cannot connect to Yahoo mail when I am on Firefox. My Outlook mail & accounts work fine, but not Yahoo. Ive gone in & deleted history based on self help offered but no luck.

I have been using Firefox on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. When media is playing in Firefox, the media player widget says, "Firefox is playing Media". There is no thumbnail or title. I have tried on multiple websites, and all are the same.

media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled is set to true.

Chromium on the same system shows the title and progress bar, but no thumbnail.

This was after an update last week to arch, I installed all the bits that seemed to be missing and now it crashes without giving me much info at all.

I recently Upgraded to a new Mac. I updated the software to Ventura 13.0.1. Followed the Migration package as suggested by Apple. Process appeared to work well with a few exceptions. One being the subject of this question. I use the buttons on the home screen a lot. A while back I made each button use the website logo. Now I have lost those icons which were replaced by the first initial of the site. can someone help on this?

Multiple websites including Wall Street Journal, Etrade, Ultimate Guitar Tabs and several news sites are freezing up or failing to load properly. Latest updates on Firefox and Windows 11. I've used Firefox for years but now its becoming increasingly annoying to the point of uselessness and no one seem interested in helping. Microsoft Edge seems to work just fine. Its not as slick as Firefox but at least it works.

In Firefox, the comments section on articles at 9to5Mac have not loaded for me for some time. Today I was trying to figure out why.

Troubleshoot Mode did not fix it. (In Troubleshoot Mode, if I carefully watch the webpage loading, for a moment I see a flicker of the comments section loading for a fraction of second, but then it disappears.)

Example screenshots of this:

But creating a new profile in Firefox does fix it.

A few examples of the many webpages where this occurs:

• https://9to5mac.com/2022/12/12/microsoft-authenticator-apple-watch-discontinued/#comments

• https://9to5mac.com/2022/12/12/xiaomi-clone-the-iphone-shocking/#comments

• https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/16/kuo-iphone-15-pro-with-usb-c-to-offer-major-boost-in-data-transfer-speeds/#comments

The comments section also loads properly when looking at these same webpages in Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

I think(?) this behavior also happens with some other websites' comment sections, although I don't usually pay much attention to comment sections.

Any thoughts on how to fix it without needing rebuild my entire profile brick by brick?

Basic information: Firefox 107.0.1 (64-bit) (latest update available), Windows 10, i7 11th generation, 16 GB RAM

Thank you!

make the dark mode come up in dark mode.

Even this page of yours is light not dark. I is not dark, but the mode is set to dark and the add on is set to dark.

if you cannot solve this then take away the dark mode that you pretend to have.

perhaps i should remove the dark mode add on, and use just the firefox built in one only. currenly both firefox and the firefox addon are set to dark and it keeps changing google.com to white when google settings are set to dark, then firefox turns off google dark mode and makes it white.

the version data you state below is correct. 107.0.1 win 10

it is now time to give up on firefox and use edge since their programmers are trained and professionals. your programmers can be anyone, which in fact make it the least secure browser. after 107 versions you still don't get it right. you don't really have a dark mode you should actually test your software.

google is my homepage and its setting is set to dark mode, but when firefox which is also set to dark mode always google comes up immediately in white mode and the google setting has been changed by firefox to google's white mode. stop changing google's mode, you do not have the right to do this. if I open a second tab it may up dark, it is not consistent.

Hi. How do I associate programs to file extensions? Like, "open 'x' program with 'y' program"? I used to know how, but my memory's lousy today. Please advise. Thanks!
