In the settings menu, I sometimes see letters underlined. They are just 1 letter underlines, and it really bothers me, as it makes the settings look really bad. I have underline links off, so I'm not sure how or if I can turn them off.

Hello.

Since upgrading to version 106, I believe, I see annoying indentation in File and View drop-down menus. Is this a known problem or am I the only one with this problem? If there's a solution using userChrome please instruct me.

Thank you.

Firefox Crashing Multiple TImes a Day

I'm not entirely sure what happened but I know earlier this year in as recent as July Firefox was working fine. I don't know if it was an update or what it was but now Firefox is consistently crashing multiple times a day.

There's never an error code but one of a few things happens:

  • The entire application will freeze and not let me control Firefox at all. I need to launch Task Manager to close the browser and then sometimes reset my computer to ensure it doesn't happen again.
  • With the most recent update, some of my emails on GMail (not all just some random ones) will not load in any capacity.
  • The browser will flicker white and will hide the top bar of the application so I can't close it without task manager.
  • The application will slow down and then crash with a "Do you want to send this report to Mozilla?" and I always click yes.

I have tried disabling and removing all extensions, I've tried firewall stuff, I've tried everything I can find but the browser is only getting worse in my experience. With this last update everything loads a few seconds slower than usual as well.

Is there a solution I am missing or am I doing something wrong? I am very very close to switching browsers but I'd rather not if there is a fix.

I want to use my tablet for writing/drawing on some websites but the browser doesn't recognize the device. It computes the mouse on the "drawing" screen but not the tablet, and also computes using the pen for clicking and dragging, and/or the tablet as a touch-pad. The device works fine on chrome and on my drawing softwares, so it isn't a problem with the pressure sensors or driver. Tested disabling all addons and restarting Mozilla, but the problem remains. Mozilla is up to date, and I use W10 (also up to date).

Any advice?

Since the last update i'm plagued by slowness when trying to access websites, among them youtube, google, yahoo. And by slowness i mean the hourglass icon stays put for more than 30 seconds then the browser just stays idle like no command was given, some times i get a response like: server not found. but mostly no response, just stays there thinking. I have tried to uninstall it, but i was given the option to reset it, i reset it and the problem persisted, so i decided to uninstall it, the process of uninstall started then the window disappeared without completing the uninstall, i disabled addons and the problem still persist, i even ran malware and virus scans and still no problems found there.

I'm running mozilla on a amd 7 3700, 16 gb ram and a Nvidia 1650 super, ssd hard drive and avg internet security with mozilla being added to exception.

P.s in the ss bellow, you see the request for google, that request was made more than 5 minutes ago, and at the moment of the request and the writing of this message mozilla was in troubleshoot mode.

Synced tabs disappear after logging into two different devices

So I had a laptop that had to go under repair (device A), so had to use a different computer (device B). I sign into Firefox, and I can see the synced tabs from device A. For various reasons, the very next day I had to transfer to another computer (device C), so I logout of device B, and login into Firefox in device C. The synced tabs are no longer visible, even though in my account it says device A is still connected to the sync.

Bookmarks and such still load up just fine, I just can't see the device A synced tabs at all. Any clue why this is happening?

Also, is it normal that my email is still showing on the device B menu? Even though it says I logged out successfully, and device B is not showing in sync anymore, in the actual computer it's still showing on the menu above the "new tab" option. How do I remove my email from showing in that particular browse? Uninstall the program entirely?

How does this occur when I have not changed my settings? So, this is something Yahoo has done. I want to minimize how many cookies are on my PC, what do I need to do?

After the most recent Firefox update, my browser has been repeatedly crashing multiple times a day, but it doesn't even show up in the crash reports tab. In fact, the oldest crash report had been from August. It'll start by freezing up, and then it will stop responding, and even if I wait for a bit, it never starts up again. Sometimes I cant even close it normally (like with the "would you like to close (insert program) or wait for it to respond?) panel) and have to resort to using the task manager. Other browsers work just fine, but Firefox has been a long time favorite, so I'm hesitant to stop using it altogether despite it's current issues.

I've tried just about everything, including troubleshooting mode - it still crashes - and refreshing it repeatedly. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, doing full scans of my computer multiple times for malware - coming up empty - and doing full computer restarts as well. Nothing I've done has managed to work, and every other suggestion is something I've already tried. I'm even beginning to think it's a problem with my PC itself, even though Firefox is the only thing having this issue.

This never happened before the most recent update, and my current version is 106.0.2. I'm not sure what to do now, and I'm very tech-illiterate, so I'd like some help please.

Hello. Why does the safe search option when I search for something repeatedly change from where I set it, at "off," to "moderate?" It's very annoying to have to keep changing it back to off. Does it change to moderate on its own when I clear the cache? If so, why is there not a setting in preferences so it's permanently set to whatever I want it to be until I change it, cache clearing or not?

My original primary email is no longer functional, it was an ATT account compromised in a yahoo.com data breech some years ago. I was no longer an ATT customer at the time, so it would not let me log in to change my password. Now I want to remove it from firefox, and to do that I have to provide a confirmation code sent to that dead email account. Is there some other way to remove it and switch a current email address to my primary email?
