Firefox Support Forum

I'm on Windows 10 Pro using Firefox 107. As soon as I open Firefox it opens and audio stream (I see Firefox show up in the volume mixer). I don't think that is supposed to happen, there is no audio to play I have not even browsed to any website yet. My home page is Firefox default homepage (so no audio there).

I have tried troubleshooting it: opening only a troubleshooting instance of Firefox (nothing else) but again I see the audio stream opening (so that rules out the add-ons right?) I've created a new profile in about:profiles and opened only a Firefox instance on this new profile but again the audio stream opens as soon as Firefox opens.

I have not recently updated my drivers. In the past this did not happen.

Because of this, my laptop never goes to sleep and the battery runs out if I have any instance of Firefox opened.

How can I fix Firefox so it only opens an audio stream when there is audio?

For some reason whenever im typing something it takes a while for it to pop up in the screen after im done typing. Its happening right now as Im writing this. Can you please help? Its happening on all my computers and servers.

Recently I have had difficulty completing online purchases. Specifically a purchase from Equifund, an investing company. I was using the Firefox browser, which I like, and I could not connect Equifund to my bank account nor get it to sign off with my credit card. They recommended Google Chrome and I had no problem. The same has happened with other purchases. Can you help solve this problem? Thank you! Victor McLaughlin

Hello, I am trying to get FF to keep some cookies for intranet sites, so that I dont need to login all the time when I open some sites on the intranet. Currently I have: Cookies&Site Data: Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed, An entry in "Manage Exceptions" for each server address (e.g. https://host.domain.tld) with "Allow". Privacy&Security: Use custom settings for history, Clear history when FF closes, in "Settings" everything ticked. But I still need to login on all sites after I closed FF.

How can I avoid this logins everytime I open a site?

Using Sky/Yahoo mail it keeps saying "No internet or its off line" but is OK on Google Chrome. Firefox is up to date and I have been using it for many years. Problem started about at least 6 updates ago.

I need a: archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

WHY?: I use the "Firefox program" itself, as a "High Level Logic Function" (i.e. a TOOL!).

THIS IS HOW: I may be researching up to 50/100, subjects/topics/interests, concurrently!

I use one Firefox window per subject. Each of the "Subject Windows", may contain 20 to 50 tabs, that are relevant to the subject being queried, until subject has been answered/resolved/placated.

PROGRAM DESIGN (software specification ... chortle!):

1) Each archived "window of tabs", would l can given A subject name, and appear in a list archived windows, to be restored, deleted, update/changed (with tab changes), shared with collages, coworker, even sent in a email!!

2) Your "History" function already has a last closed windows, last closed tabs, SO IT SHOULD NOT TAKE GREAT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EFFORT ...

3) "Buckle your shoe ..."

PERKS: Besides may my insignificant needs, a "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function", would let foxfire execute normally, with out bogging the whole Microsoft operation system down to a crawl, or "go catatonic"!

Of course, this not fault of Firefox! Fox example, I just installed "Windows 11 Pro". When I looked under the hood, I found that NONE of the window error reporting systems could log data, because, the "Windows 11 Pro" operating system, is unable the find "C:\",the only drive in my laptop.

Left hand ... Right hand ... the list of atrocities when on! I just had a new desktop folder, "Microsoft's Hospital for the Criminally INSANE", and dump'd the "bad news" there.

Some other related, Firefox execution problems:

WHEN I HAVE 20ish windows open, with 1, 10, 20, tabs per window, the system crashes, like clock work!!

Further I constantly it the "Firefox  ---- is not responding" frozen window announcement!

Concurrently, everything is also semi-frozen too.

I summary, PLEASE made the "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function" a reality!!!

If you will, I will come up with a name for the function, that intuitive, yet is catchy, that it will shine like a small jewel in the Firefox panoply ...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,

P.S I want NOTHING for the idea, only the joy on using it! Later tonight, I will be installing a new printer with it's device drivers, and application programs.

AT WITCH POINT, WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FIREFOX,

 AND LOOSE 25 PLUS OPEN "FIREFOX WINDOWS",  
WITH 100'S OF  RESEARCH DATUM TABS!!!
ABOUT 6,TO 8  MONTHS OF WORK ..

And yeah, there have always been the bookmark systems, going back to the "Hyper Links" in DOS (which sooner, or later, GRENADE'D the hard drive).

Bookmarks are for warehouse, basement archive,

But the: "Firefox data amphitheater";

             "Firefox data auditorium"; 

              archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

            "FIREFOX WINDOWS""Subject Windows" ...
           What ever you name it
           It is the easiest, direct way of researching multiple subjects, concurrently, and in your face instantly ..

Created second profile (intended for business use) on my USB stick, I thought that naming the profile in create new profile would create a folder of that name in my chosen destination, it didnt, and created the profile in the root directory of my USB stick, I then realised this had not created a new folder with the name I used in the new profile setup, so then removed profile in the profile setup page, and it deleted the whole USB stick!! Doh. Can I recover the data, ie reverse the profile deletion? I have lost a whole load of important stuff.

I have the notification setting set to block all requests for website notifications.

https://www.bonsecours.com/ still managed to present such a notification (see the attached images)

NOTE: I recently had to reset FF due to the installation being corrupted during the install of an upgrade. I believe I have restored most of my settings on topics like access to microphones, push-notification requests, and the like, but I may have missed something relative to this. (When I first shut down all requests for push notifications, I believe it was still required to do so via about:config.)

My Trend Micro Password manager stopped working a week or so ago. Have been using it quite some time in Firefox with no problems. I suspect after an update. Is there a new extension for it available? Or any other solution. Thanks

Trying to bookmark a pdf, it's on the same location across my devices, but my devices have different usernames, so I added "%userprofile%" to the filepath so that it opens on any device. The issue is that when I enter this into the Bookmark URL bar, it automatically sticks "25" next to the % characters, which makes the bookmark unusable.

"C:\Users\%userprofile%\Documents\example.pdf" automatically becomes "file:///C:/Users/%25userprofile%25/Documents/example.pdf"

Also, as I just discovered now when I pasted this URL into this post, a second "25" is inserted, becoming: "file:///C:/Users/%2525userprofile%2525/Documents/example.pdf"

Hi community, sorry if I didnt use the right category but I am having serious issue right now.

Just few minutes ago, I was suddenly logged out of all my sessions and my saved logins disappeared.

All my accounts use randomly generated passwords by firefox, there is no way I can recover any of this without getting my saved logins back.

What should I do? I am freaking out

Okay, so 5 months ago, I cleaned up my bookmarks. I had a ton, but now looking back, there were some that I really would've liked to keep. So I'm would like to know if there would be a way to restore deleted bookmarks from that long ago.

Problem with firefox, In order to load the next web site I have to close firefox and load it again. I have removed all apps and add on's and ran every malware, virus finder that i can find, help, very annoying

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

Iam using Windows 7 on my Laptop and I have constant flickering on the screen. There seems to be many users who have complained about this. Why is Firefox not taking any steps to solve the problem?

Firefox don't wait for someone in the community to solve this. Please depute your engineers and address this issue
