How to avoid Firefox restoring previous tabs when starting up. I've read about several solutions (all I could find) that don't work for me. Sometimes I have tens of pages opened and when I close Firefox I don't want 50 pages to be restored. Don't ask me if I have the restore option activated, I haven't. I switched to Nightly to see if it would solve the problem, it did for about 2 months and now it's also happening with Nightly. I have antivirus that include anti-tracking services but I would not know how this could interfere with Firefox settings or if my antivirus has anything to do with it. The issue is so annoying to me that I'm thinking to switch to another browser if I find no solution. I noticed more people complaining about the same issue but it seems not enough for it to be taken seriously in order to solve or be given an explanation. On the other hand it seems not everyone is having the same issue witch makes it even more mind boggling to me. Besides some add-blockers and translation I have no extensions installed. If you happen to know what the issue is I'll be glad to hear from you.

I'm in the midst of getting used to a new computer and setting it up as I want and like it. (My old one just stopped dead and nothing could be retrieved from it.) My question: how does one stop Google from auto suggesting in Firefox? See the attached photo...I've typed a "g" and there's a whole list of useless suggestions shown. Based on what I've read, I've turned off what I think are all the settings relating to auto suggestions yet it's still operational. Previously, I never had this problem with Firefox, but now with the new machine (HP using Windows 11) it's back to haunt me. Thanks for any assistance.

cheers, Iain.

Not sure if this is the correct topic selection but nothing offered above really fits.

I tried to sign into my Allstate.com account today and kept getting error messages.

I called their tech department and they told me that Firefox has been notified a long time ago about this issue but has done nothing about it. I was told to use my email account instead of my user ID to get into my account via Firefox, but that if I do it that way, some functions still won't work on Firefox.

I was told that my Safari browser would work, and it does.

Not sure why Firefox refuses to fix this. This is crazy. I've also had problems signing in some other companies with Firefox recently where it used to work fine. It looks like they are just not keeping up with technology. I have the latest Firefox browser for my Macbook, but as companies update their sites, Firefox is staying behind. I prefer Firefox because of things like uBlock Origin, Enhancer for YouTube, and YouTube Watchmarker which I love, but I've had to use Safari more and more because of this issue.

Exactly how does one let Firefox tech know these things. They don't provide anyway to contact them which doesn't look good.

Firefuxxed was refusing to open new tabs so I shut it down and restarted it (always fixes it) and all my pinned and open tabs were gone with no way to recover them, it took me half an hour to manually restore the pinned ones one by one but not all of them as I cannot remember all of them let alone all the open tabs I had (hours of research gone down the toilet).

There should be a way to backup and restore pinned and open tabs so this doesn't happen, the history option does nothing.

OS: Linux Mint 22 fresh install from a week ago Previous version of Firefuxxed updated after this shamossel.

Firefox kills audio driver, causing computer to become silent

Note:Translation of questions from DEEPL Laptop system version: Windows 10, 21H2, 19044.6093. Firefox version: 141.0.3 (64-bit) The laptop has 16GB of RAM, an AMD 4600H processor, and a GTX 1650 graphics card.

When opening web pages in Firefox (this time it crashed after opening three regular pages), there is a chance it will freeze with a white screen and display a “not responding” pop-up window, while also causing the system audio driver to malfunction. Clicking the speaker icon in the bottom-right corner takes a long time to display the volume slider, but the slider cannot be moved, or adjusting the volume does not produce any sound. Forcing Firefox to close and reopening it also causes it to freeze. The only way to avoid the white screen and unresponsive state is for Firefox to automatically detect the crash and prompt whether to open a new page. The audio driver issue requires restarting the computer to resolve. So what is the underlying issue? How can I report this bug to the official team for analysis and resolution? If it's difficult to resolve, I'll consider switching to the ESR version of Firefox.

(Annoying past experience: This situation has occurred several times before when using Firefox. At that time, I had 2-3 web pages with videos open, mainly video websites, and the speaker icon was directly crossed out with an X, causing the computer desktop to crash as well. The computer became extremely laggy, and the Task Manager and security options were difficult to open. After restarting the computer, Firefox automatically reopened the previously unclosed page, causing the desktop to crash immediately upon startup, entering a loop. It seemed that even Windows Safe Mode didn't work, and a forced upgrade to a major Windows version was required to resolve the issue, followed by reinstalling a bunch of software.)

I found a problem with McAfee Webadvisor 13 Aug 2025 release. It causes flickering in the upper right part of the screen. Disabling it in Extensions fixes the problem. Removing it and reinstalling causes the problem to reoccur. This is new, had no problems yesterday but today all four of my family's computers have this problem. I will report the problem to McAfee and give an update if I get a response.

i went to about:config -> browser.translations.enable and also browser.translations.automaticallyPopup , making sure it reads "false", and also went to Firefox Menu > Settings > General > Language and Appearance and under Languages the only language other than spanish (the language i want the browser to be) is english (maybe that way it recognizes it as an "allowed" language or something and doesnt translate from it)

...but it still translates pages from english (sometimes even translating the search result and directing me to a translate-version of the page instead of to the the page itself).

how can i make it not translate things from english anymore? (if the only solution is to stop translating altogether from any language, i'll gladly take it as long as it stops translating from english)

All of a sudden this evening my title bar is shimmying left to right. If I try to pull down the Bookmarks/History/Downloads box it shimmies, too. I have no idea what caused this to happen and no idea how to fix it. I looked in the Task Manager but I'm not sure anything odd is in there. I ran a scan with McAfee but it didn't pick up anything. I am hoping someone out there can help me with this. I got rid of cache and history. Maybe it's a cookie issue and I should get rid of all of those, too?

I recently bought a new computer, and I'm trying to get everything transferred from my laptop to it. I have a Firefox account, am signed in on both devices, sync is turned on, and passwords are set to sync. I don't know how, but all of my passwords are on my new computer, but not on my laptop and I can't figure out how to get them back. Maybe I messed something up trying to get all of my tabs transferred? It wouldn't be a problem if I was completely done with my laptop, but I'm still going back and forth between the two.

Also, it seems that the passwords on my new computer aren't the most up to date, as I'm signed in to several websites on my laptop, that won't accept the passwords on my new computer.

I would really appreciate any help getting this all straightened out.

Hello, I’m having trouble getting Firefox to work properly on my computer. During installation, the setup process becomes very slow, and once I manage to install it, Firefox hangs or becomes unresponsive within a few seconds after launching.

My system details:

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

What I’ve tried so far:

Reinstalling Firefox Running in Safe Mode Clearing profile data Disabling antivirus temporarily

None of these steps solved the problem. There are no specific error messages — the browser just freezes, and I have to close it via Task Manager.
