Restored FF to Imac. Attemped to open but get message “a copy of FF is already open to cannot open this one” Spent 6 hours with Apple Support to examine every file and delete anything related to FF or Mozilla except for the VPN program. This did not solve problem. Apple said could do no more and suggeted mozzilla support. How to get rid of the notice and enable opening of FF. on 2024 Imac M4 chip.

Hi there,

I am trying to access this site: https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/ I am logged in on the site with my membership, which is up to date.

But whenever I try to search a word, it redirects me to the login page. I can only assume that something is wrong with my cookies, privacy settings, and extensions in Firefox. After having cleared my cache, allowed cookies for the site in question, and messed around a bit more with my settings, the problem persists.

This is not happening for any other sites. Can you help? Thank you!

Why has Mozilla decided to COMPLETELY IGNORE security settings applied to PDF documents? I have a number of PDFs secured so as to prevent the ability to print or copy text. When opened with Firefox, all of these settings are ignored.

Recently I have had to sign in to my sbcglobal.net email account every single time I open Firefox on my desktop computer. Firefox is default and my sbcglobal.net mail account is set as my home page. This is not a problem on my iPhone. What is the problem with the desktop and why did it start within the last week or 2?

I cant get Pandora to load with Firefox . I am in Mexico and have been using the Browsec VPN to listen to Pandora and all of a sudden it stopped loading. I get the blue screen with Pandora logo but it doesnt go past that. Pandora works on Edge with the same VPN Browsec .

The power went out in my area last night and When I turned my computer on this morning and opened Firefox, all my bookmarks are gone! It says the bookmark file is empty? I had many bookmarks that I use daily. How do I retrieve all my bookmarks I had in my Firefox account? Can someone help? Thank you.

Hi,

At some point in the last couple of weeks, I've started running into very frequent crashes running Firefox in the Linux container on my Chromebook. It previously worked well, but is now unusable. I'm now running Firefox version 147.0.3 on Chrome version 144.0.7559.167. This is after I did a clean reinstall of Firefox using flatpak, which didn't help. It seems like it often happens when my mouse hovers over a browser tab or icon (eg account, extensions, hamburger). Other quirky display behaviour, which mayor may not related, is that videos are often not working (eg Youtube, BBC), and various browser windows (eg when selecting Manage Bookmarks, or restarting in safe mode), open a small size-reduced window. Latest crash reports below -

Thanks for any suggestions.

I am unable to open PDFs from my bank. I tried the following steps;

Change Default PDF Viewer:

   Go to Firefox Settings.
   Scroll down to the Applications section.
   Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list.
   Change the action to Open in Firefox or Preview in Firefox.

Clear Bank Cache/Cookies:

   Go to Settings > Privacy & Security.
   Select Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data.
   Search for your bank's website and clear its data.

Firefox continues to freeze up even after many FF updates. I am running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Firefox freezes for no apparent reason. I am lucky if I can just close the browser. But often times I must do a hard shutdown of my laptop. Since the problem first appeared about six (?) months ago there have been a number of Firefox updates, but this problem continues. When will it be fixed finally?

Hi everyone, I’m working on a Shopify store where digital gift cards are an important feature, and I want to make sure the implementation follows modern web standards and browser security best practices, especially from a Mozilla / Firefox perspective.

Are there any known browser-related concerns (security, storage, email rendering, accessibility, or performance) when handling digital gift cards on e-commerce sites? Anything specific Firefox users or developers should be mindful of?

Would appreciate insights from anyone with experience in Shopify, e-commerce, or web standards.

Thanks! 🙌

Firefox not responding. I have tried everything on the Help pages. I have tried reset of everything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch. Still: when I open it: Firefox does not respond. And everything else also is very slow then. In Windows joblist I can see Firefox with 7-15 threads. One of them "not responding". I have no problems with Chrome nor Edge - W11, 16GB Ram
