After an update, Firefox messed up my toolbar configuration. After resetting everything back to normal, just one thing doesn't want to stay where it's placed: the "new tab" button a.k.a. the "plus sign". I want the button to be to the right of my open tabs (screenshot no. 2) but after closing and opening Firefox again, the button simply jumps back to the left (screenshot no. 1). So I go to (Right Click) > "Customize Toolbar..." > (Drag the button to the right) and it works, only until I restart Firefox again. Is there anything I can do to make my changes stable?

(One more thing: there is this "List All Tabs" button, which can't be removed, how could I remove it?)

Firefox Version: Developer Edition; 132.0b3 (64-bit); aurora update channel

I have online accounts with both drawboard.com and offerup.com. Neither of these websites will finish logging out when I click log out on Firefox. I assume it's a Firefox issue as I do not have the same problem with Safari or Chrome when I've tried. I really don't want to stay logged in to those websites when I'm not using them. On Drawboard, the logout page just gets stuck there and won't change even if I refresh. On Offerup, it doesn't do anything at all.

Been trying to log out of offerup for weeks even with their help desk. Please help, thanks.

Today I was notified Firefox version 131.0 had been installed. Now, when using the Charles Schwab website, I can't access my bank account, which is a separate entity, and requires me to use Schwab's access method. I've used this method/tool for a decade or more without incident until FF 131.0 showed up. Here's the error: "You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms: • Block third party cookies • Cookie tracking • Cross-site tracking Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled.

I've disabled "Enhanced Tracking Protection", cleared the browser of cookies and site data. I disabled Privacy Badger and Ghostery. None of which helps.

This procedure works using Firefox on an ios tablet. Also, it works with Microsoft Edge.

Thanks for any help. -Deke

Hey there! System: Windows 10 x64, Firefox Nightly.

Problem: Out of the blue, when I start Firefox Nightly (I think 2-3 days ago), it just crashed with no extra info. I see the "window of the update process", it goes to the middle or to the end, immediately closes and doesn't bring up the Crash reporter. However! When I tried to run a Nightly Installer that I downloaded through Chrome, it quietly runs and then just opens up my browser no problem, profile and all. I checked and it seems to be the exact same .exe file (according to the Task Manager).

So in short: it breaks if I run it straight from my usual shortcut, or with .exe. But if I run the installer myself, the browser opens up fine.

However, the installer didn't bring any new updates that would fix the problem, I have this for 2-3 days now, I don't remember. I start working, I see I didn't fix it and run the installer again.

Any ideas on the fix? I would love to not lose my profile, settings and, if possible, tabs. I'll try disabling all the extensions after I post this, I don't think they contribute, though (seeing how the external Firefox Nightly Installer opens up my browser just fine).

Thanks in advance!

As the subject says Firefox very suddenly started giving me terrible loading times, despite all the sites working perfectly fine on other devices and browsers. Issue continued with troubleshooting mode, not sure where to go from here. I will open youtube, it won't load about 5 thumbnails, I click on a video and it sets it to 140p and then it still lags the entire video as if I was using 1kbps internet. I tested my wifi connection and its having no problems. Something similar happened when I used to use Opera GX, it was fine for a long time and then one day terrible performance. Please let me know where to go from here. Windows 11 Pro.

I've been struggling for months/years with tabs crashing. I just figured it was my particular combination of installed extensions and the websites I frequented because certain sites tended to crash tabs pretty often (e.g., HomeDepot.com), while others didn't (e.g., Lowes.com). However, I'm working more hours per day on my PC and have had the app crash multiple times in one day so I figure it's time to try fixing it. So... I made sure that Windows, FF, and my device drivers are up to date. I ran two separate malware/virus scans. The only third-party modules loading are from Intel (it's an Intel CPU and graphics adapter). I ran FF in Troubleshooting Mode, and the tab crashes continued, as well as an app crash. I have four crash report IDs from that event; I am sure it's these four because the Extensions tabs report "No extensions were installed." Three are out-of-memory, one is EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ.

  • * 9d98d242-5b2e-421e-8b12-1e0c00241005

I ran MemTest86 and it didn't find any memory hardware issues.

Since Troubleshooting Mode didn't reveal a misbehaving extension, do I still need to "Refresh Firefox"? Does anyone have suggestions for a next step? Thanks.

I have been using two Firefox browser windows a lot recently. Suddenly the response time to a request to open new window went from immediate to 20 seconds. Initially that meant I hit the "new window" button 10 times to get any response which meant browsing was interrupted for the next 5 minutes by the appearance of yet more new windows at 20 second intervals! Has anyone any idea about what has happened?

This is another moment where I have to post through my Mac Monterey when the problem is on Window 10 64-Bit. This problem surfaces when there is an update available to either program, though it seems like most times, not every time. Currently there is one available for Firefox that does not download. Previously the download installed on its own when this happened. I have shut down and restarted the system at least three times. At the last time I restarted in Safe Mode With Networking. It detected the update but would neither download nor check for updates. The message read to reinstall the new version. Is there any way to fix this updating problem once and for all? It is peculiar the Edge does not display this behavior. Right now what tabs I had open froze; so I had to use this system to post with Firefox for Mac Monterey. Thanks in advance.

Firefox is already my PC browser, I guess that I have had it as my default for over ten years now. Has the new Firefox cookie protection just announced by Mozilla already been added to my Firefox or will that happen at the next auto update? Or is there some action I need to take to download this update to my browser? Thank you

Severn Valley RailCams With increasing severity, over the last few weeks I find that Firefox repeatedly hangs up when viewing one of these Railcams.. I have tried a few things to remedy this, none of which work, the hang-up occurs with the rotating circle, between 1 to a few mins after starting. This does not happen with any other video viewer, eg Youtube, or other Railcam. It does not happen at all in Chrome and yesterday I was using this for 4-5 hours! I have tried disabled add-on, no difference, clearing the data Cache, no difference.. In addition, on 3 or 4 occasions the Windows 10 PC freezes completely and I have to reboot.. ! unheard of! And, this also occurs on my Dell laptop under the same circumstances...

I have attached a screenshot of the problem with the SVr Kidderminster camera, see below, this was after viewing for something like 1-2 mins and, _very_ occasionally, this has caused a complete PC freeze and a reboot is necessary ..

Any idea whats going on?
