Firefox Community Forum

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

Is there a way I can have Firefox permanently offer the option to generate a secure password? Many, many, MANY times Firefox will not recognize that a particular input field is for a password, and therefore does not offer the option to generate one. Considering everything on this forsaken planet requires creating an account now, this minor issue has become very common and annoying for me.

To reiterate: I would like Firefox to always offer to generate a password, regardless of how the input field is labeled or marked up. Thanks!

edit: I don't know how to delete this. turns out this is a known bug on firefox on linux. Firefox cannot actually save payment info, but doesn't serve an error to the user. however in the console it will throw a NS_ERROR_ABORT error: "User canceled OS unlock entry" error when it tries to save. the one solution i looked at seemed way too complicated for me so i am simply going to give up and try to keep my cc closer to me and not get frustrated when it doesn't work.

I've always used Firefox as my default browser, it's been updated and is the current version. Recently I have noticed that pages are slow loading and some images on the page never load properly and remain blank. More vexing, is that Gmail has become very unstable in Firefox and won't load properly, loads slowly and freezes blanks out when I try to delete trash or spam, etc. It's annoying as more and more I have to open up Edge Browser to get performance on the websites that are failing in Firefox. This includes various websites that I use for work where logins are glitchy and unstable in Firefox, but work in Edge? Disappointing as I prefer to use Firefox, but even with recent upgrades installed it seems to work less well than in the past.

Ive been FIGHTING to get business done on ROKU website. IT continues to switch to SPANISH. I am in the USA. I no longer am subscribed to ROKU in SPANISsince several months past. I figure a BLOCK for other languages would do the trick.IS there such a thing. THERE SHOULD BE!!! Thanks

Warum muss ich immer wieder die Surfdaten löschen damit ich die Seite meines Routers öffnen kann ? Nur dann funktioniert eigenartiger Weise mein Passwort. Es ist die Seite:http://192.168.8.1/#/home zu meinem Huawei B636 Anmeldung. Mein Firefox ist auf aktuellem Stand. Bitte um Info bzw. Abhilfe

Hello,

I am experiencing a serious display flickering/refresh issue in Firefox when opening DRM streaming websites such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and HBO/Max.

My system:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Monitor: LG 34GL750 Windows PC Latest NVIDIA driver installed

The problem:

When I open Netflix/Prime Video/HBO/Max in Firefox, the display repeatedly flickers or appears to restart. There is no "No Signal" message from the monitor. Closing Firefox sometimes makes the display recover. Unplugging/reconnecting the display cable has sometimes been necessary. The same problem does NOT occur in Brave, using the same PC, GPU, monitor and cable.

Troubleshooting already performed:

Updated to the latest NVIDIA driver, including the recent driver update that mentioned display-related issues. Tried a different display cable. Disabled Firefox hardware acceleration. Tested with Firefox Troubleshooting Mode — the problem still occurs. Disabled/enabled Firefox DRM/Widevine — the problem still occurs. Tested with a completely new Firefox profile — the problem still occurs. Disabled G-SYNC — the problem still occurs. Disabled uBlock — the problem still occurs. Checked about — there are no recent crash reports related to the problem.

Firefox about information:

GPU #1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Active: Yes

In my normal Firefox profile: Compositing: WebRender (Software) HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING: runtime: unavailable Requires texture sharing Blocklisted; failure code FEATURE_FAILURE_BROKEN_TEXTURE_SHARING

In a completely new Firefox profile: HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING: default: available

However, the display problem still occurs in the new profile.

Thank you.

I am running into a 414 error that prevents me from accessing account information in Kindle Direct Publishing, has anyone else run into this problem? I log in and get to the home page of KDP ok, clicking on Account opens dialogue box to log in again, and I get 414 error, which KDP help AI says is browser related. I've tried using incognito, turning off VPN, there are no extensions turned on, going directly to the Account Settings link gives same error. I tried using another browser (Safari) and get same error.

Firefox 155.0.1

Thanks for any other suggestions!

I have noticed several automatic updates in the last several days.

Yesterday, I started my Lenovo laptop and clicked on Firefox to start my business day. Clicked on the icon. Nothing opened on my screen. Each time I clicked, a thumbnail would open (see attached image).

I can right click on the icon. I tried open a new window. Nothing. I tried open private browser. Icon opened, I can see thumbnail, but it did not open either.

I tried to download new Firefox. Same. I tried to delete Firefox from Installed Apps in settings. Then I was asked if I wanted to Refresh Firefox instead of deleting. It saved my Firefox files. Thank you. I followed the steps. Firefox worked throughout the day.

This morning I tried to open Firefox...nothing except thumbnails like in the photo.

Photo has version date for Firefox. Dated yesterday 9.9.2026.

Appreciate your help.

All I have access to is right click on Firefox icon in my tray. I cannot see any settings.

Prior to recent Firefox updates I would use this browser to open our property's security app Brivo. I would do this by typing 10.10.112.16 into the search window for an open tab. This would then open the application and allow me to then log into the app. This path is no longer accessible. Error message is attached

Please follow up and assist.
