Firefox Support Forum

Today I had a power outage. When I started the computer afterwards I noticed that session recovery in firefox did not work. Even worse: History and even bookmarks seem to not have not been written for 9 days. I added bookmarks in the last days that are lost now. The reason is likely that the partition which the firefox profile resides on ran out of disk space at some point. I freeded space on that volume and firefox behaved regulary, so I expected everything would be fine. Now it seems like I lost about 10 days (open tabs, history AND bookmarks) how can it possibly be that there was no warning about issues with writing to disk in Firefox?

Hello.

My internet fluctuates constantly while using the Firefox browser. It uses full capacity for 5 seconds, then uses almost 1 mbps internet for the next 5 seconds, then uses full capacity for 5 seconds and so on. I tried a lot of things but it didn't work. I have 100 Mbps internet and connect with 5GHz WI-FI.

Things I've tried:

-Reset Firefox -Run Firefox in troubleshooting mode -Turn off Anti-Virus and Adguard Ad Blocker -DNS flush -Formatting the computer

I don't have such internet fluctuation problem when using it in Microsoft Edge browser. It works seamlessly.

Apart from this, there is another situation that I encountered once, as long as I do not format the computer on which I installed Firefox, this internet fluctuation occurs constantly.

I have been using the coderanch.com website for more than a decade and most of the postings include listings of source code which I was (past tense) able to cut a paste into my own development environment. With the latest version (107) of Firefox this has broken, the document now gets numerous non-printable characters (decimal 160) for the leading indents of the code. I'm assuming they are being somehow substituted for the tab character.

Here's an example

I went back to version 105 and the problem went away. Also Chrome does not have this problem.

Please fix soon as it is impacting my ability to help others on the coderanch site.

Hello, I may be in the wrong place, but I do not know all the proper terminology or definitions. I use Firefox for my browser. I have for many years. Starting yesterday, I was unable to access my History, I tried the other items across the top of the screen and none of them are accessible. Somewhere I saw I should click on a menu button for finding history: I cannot find a menu button "in the upper corner". I kept looking for help and was sent in circles. I also kept seeing something about Firefox Accounts; and Firefox Accounts vs. Mozilla Accounts: I have NO idea what that means. I tried to sign in: no. So, I think I have created a Firefox account now, with a password and done the "reset". I also do not know what that means, but here I am. Please someone tell me how to get help: help that does not assume I already know the answer. Thank you.

I wanted to make a suggestion, and report a complaint, but all I get from Firefox are endless loops of discussions about things I don't care about and are irrelevant to me! Where's the actual "submit feedback here" button? Where's the What's your problem button?

I've spent an hour wandering through endless screens of help articles and discussion threads. Now I"m just tired of not being able to even report a problem or make a suggestion!

Your whole support system is a morass of failure much like a government operation!

If it matters to anyone: I am using Firefox to play 2 online games: Settlers Online, and RailNation. I am using Vivaldi to play another instance of RailNation.

When I switch from one tab to another or the other browser for any length of time I get disconnected from both Settlers Online and from RailNation. And sometimes I have to restart Firefox or clear cache to get them to reload! This did not happen in previous versions. Win11, new Dell Inspiron, if that makes a difference.

What ever happened to multitasking? What ever happened to persistence?

I use "https://theconnection.gideons.org" but when i try to log in it does not open to the login window.

I just posted a question re: my pull-down bookmarks menu disappearing. I stated in the question that my bookmarks themselves weren't gone, just the menu. I stand corrected. They are indeed "gone", i.e. completely inaccessible.

So for my main gmail I have 2 step for obvious security reasons, but I want it to trust my PC so that I don't have to pull out my phone every time I try to access it. No matter how many times I click the option to trust this PC it always ask' for the 2 step, and I don't see the PC on the trusted list in my gmail settings. I have already added "mail.google.com" to the exceptions part of the cookie and site data settings, even "account.google.com" but it just doesn't seem to work. What is the obvious thing that I am missing?

I used to take a daily quiz at Brain Candy. It worked in version 103.0.2 but not in 106.0.5. The site is https://trivia.braincandy.net/?a7ed842e-can-you-get-100-on-this-military-monuments-quiz-

All I get now is a black box instead of a picture and inactive answer boxes Any thoughts?

I can't log in at https://addons.mozilla.org

It input my mail and password, wait for a loading screen and then I get a yellow box with the message "You have been logged out."

No matter how many times I try, I always get the same message. I can log in with my main account, but not with this one, which is the one where I have an add-on I'd like to update.

Recently (and during the writing of this) i have experienced typing lag in Firefox. My input gets processed and handled, but it takes a little while, sometimes up to a few seconds, for the text to appear or the changes to occur (think of sending messages). I am currently on Firefox version 106.0.5, and have tried doing a safe restart ("Troubleshoot mode"), but the problems persevered. I have tried clearning cookies, cache, browser and login history, but the problems persevered. I am also not using the windows cursor text color highlighting, which was submitted as a solution to a similar problem a year ago. Thank you if you can help!
