Firefox Community Forum

Over the weekend I finally updated my Microft Account to the Cloud. During that process my Firefox Brower, which I have used for YEARS became unusable. When finished got the message in the screenshot attached. Tried reinstalling. Did not work. Tried unistalling today then reinstalling same message.

Erg. I am so upset with Microsoft for hijacking a completely useful tool which is my default browser, and has been forever.

Help!

Hi, I hope you are doing well.

I have been having issues since this morning. I am unable to open a new tab in the Firefox developer edition.

I have attached screenshots. I have tried to reset settings; I have tried to uninstall and then install again, but nothing works.

So I've been beating my head against the wall on this one... first I couldn't load Firefox and the error message would say 'Firefox is active but not responding.' I looked into that, it suggested deleting the profiles.ini file... I did, and it didn't do anything. I then tried deleting the profile folder entirely. That changed the error at least. Now it says 'no profile.'

So, I tried following directions to create a new profile. Win+R, firefox.exe -p and then tried to create a new profile and... nothing. "An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved."

Unsure if its connected, but at the same time, several Steam games have been struggling to sync to the cloud, and Discord stopped working to the point I needed a clean install.

Already tried to do a clean install with Firefox and that didn't work either.

When I press ctrl+return (main enter key) on my keyboard (Standard 52 key US layout) on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, the context menu pops up (with back, reload, select all, etc.) which interferes with the shortcuts of some of the sites I use. It does not occur when in other apps. Is there a way to disable this shortcut key? I have a context menu key on my keyboard, so it is unnecessary.

Hello, I am looking to see if there is a way to find/gain access to my old firefox account.

I thought I was logged in under either of my two primary emails but when I logged in after my computer glitched and I had to reset it, my bookmarks and passwords didn't reappear. Is there a way i can somehow retrieve this?

All help would be so welcome

Since the recent update to Firefox 131, I can no longer use the Billpay option of my TD Bank account. I am able to log into my account without any problems and use all of the options except for Billpay. I want to add that I know I am not alone with this problem as I have seen several others with the same problem but with different banks. It is the Billpay option which no longer works.

As I said, the bank site is fine until I click on "Billpay", Then I get this: begin quote: "Why can't I access Bill Pay?

How do I keep the Menu bar on Firefox from disappearing? When I used Firefox the menu bar showing my tabs, website url, etc was always visible in full screen. Now it disappears when I scroll down and I have to bring it back with my mouse to keep it visible. Is there a way to feel it visible full time? I can't find it in the settings menu and I have never had this problem before.

I've read through lots of instructions, and tried to list a site as an exception to the ad blocker, but it doesn't seem to work. The site that I want to be able to contact me is Rakuten.com. Please help. This seems so complicated.

Hello,

I am using Multi-Account Containers, i have 3 pinned tabs all three are Gmail all three different. However when I restart my box and open Firefox again the pinned tabs show up BUT 3 new tabs appear asking me if i want to "Open this site in your assigned Container?". The pinned tabs are blank. If i click "Open in [container name] container" it will open in that new unpinned tab and not the pinned tab. This leads me to have to close my pinned tabs and re-pin each time. Please tell me I am doing something wrong and there is a way out of this madness!!!

Thank you for your help and time!

I used to log in to AOL & Yahoo.com to check my emails via Firefox browser.

The two-way MFA stopped working. Why? John

If you choose to sync your browser history through firefox sync, does mozilla have a way to generate the relevant cryptographic keys to decipher your data on their servers? I know that they say even Mozilla doesn't have access to your data - even when at rest - but I also noticed that they don't seem to utilize the term "zero-knowledge encryption." In other words, does mozilla have the technical capacity to decrypt data synced via mozilla sync?

I think Firefox used to be the best browser on the planet. However lately: Firefox has been randomly shutting down. Usually while I'm typing a comment or a reply to some comment.

Just tonight, I tried to buy a box of Bibles from the Gideons International, and when I clicked the Place Order button, nothing happened. I started the crappy Chrome browser, went to the Gideon website and created an order. When I clicked Place Order, it 'thought' for a few seconds and then said "Order Complete".

Quite often, when I click on a link, I receive a message telling me Firefox cannot connect to that site. Again, if I use Chrome, or even Brave, the link goes right through.

Months ago, I never had these problems. Are you people in the business of screwing up the best browser ever invented? Put Firefox back like it was when it worked.

When I receive an email that has a link, Firefox opens without any of my settings. This also happens with Firefox pop-ups, which indicate I don't have certain products, such as Web Advisor, even though I do.

I guess the first question is why a new iteration of Firefox is opened when I already have it running.

SINCE FIREFOX IS MY BROWSER, HOW DO I PREVENT CERTAIN GAMES FROM TAKING CONTROL OF MY MOUSE ? I HATE IT WHEN THEY SLOW MY MOUSE DOWN OR WON'T LET ME MOVE,SOMETIMES IT CAUSES ME TO LOSE THE GAMES, VERY FRUSTRATING

We use Firefox Developer Edition in our Enterprise and any auto-update (whether it be the background process or 'check for updates' button) fails to work, due to much of mozilla.org being blocked by our internet security. I want to be able to provide our security team with a definitive URL that the auto-update process uses.

I found mentions of aus5.mozilla.org but in testing this has proved not to be used.

In firefox when I click "save link as" the link does not change color like it used to be. I am using Firefox version 115.15Oesr because I still use an old computer with windows 7 pro 64 bit.
