Firefox Support Forum

Hello, i am using Firefox in Ubuntu( installed by default) in Vbox. Today, i opened a .pdf link and tried to download it, once i pressed the button the Firefox closed( or crashed). Then i opened my gmail and wanted to send an image in letter, i pressed the button to add a file and Firefox closed again. After that i typed sudo apt-get update and upgrade in terminal, now waiting to see if there is any changes. I opened about:crashes and submitted report. Any help is welcomed, thank you. bp-05bdb602-5c39-493a-906a-22f8c0230103 03.01.2023, 13:59 bp-f7ab49f3-c17e-437d-936f-4dec60230103 03.01.2023, 13:59 bp-045d3e28-eab5-4cc3-9f24-cbda40230103 03.01.2023, 13:59 bp-e3d56256-3f44-4477-b66e-9dda10230103 03.01.2023, 13:59 bp-387b5231-2c52-4827-ad86-a5a550230103 03.01.2023, 13:59

I am using Firefox 108.0.1 (64 bit) on a Macbook Pro. It looks like the latest update produced a change. When I look along the dock most, but not all, of the minimized browser windows show as Mozilla Firefox whereas others show the name. In the past, all windows showed the name (e.g., Oultook email, or name of the google doc, name of the website, etc.). Is there a way to fix this? Or is this a bug in the latest update to 108.0.1 that will be fixed with 108.0.2?

Not seeing the window name means I need to pull up every open window from the dock to see which window is which. Mostly an annoyance but a new annoyance.

Since the last Firefox update, I can't download anything, not even the Windows updates! I notice that many others are having the same problem. I can download everything using the Microsoft Edge browser so I will probably stop using Firefox unless you come up with a fix soon. This is a major problem!

After I've used Firefox and just had basic Firefox up, I will get a couple of sites that I never went to pop up asking me to login or to set up my account there. The sites are Bitcoin and Wells Fargo Bank. I cannot get these sites to stop popping up on Firefox. No history of them in my bookmarks or previous uses. How can I get these to not pop up on Firefox browser?

Hello,

This is the third time, since the latest major OSX update (Ventura), that the window I had on top when I put my computer to sleep has been missing when I re-awaken my computer. All other windows remain where, and as, they should be. - It does not appear in "recently closed windows"(!!) - It does it show up when I try "about:sessionrestore" (the restore option is greyed out; list is empty). - When I try typing the URL of a tab from the missing window, it shows up in my search suggestions as remembered history, but not as a "switch to tab" option, as it would if the window still existed somewhere. - Trying to recreate the missing window from my history isn't possible, as the date filing for history is apparently when the tabs were opened/"created", not what was actually open on a particular date. - In one case (not today's occurance), when I started typing a URL from the missing window into a different window's tab, the missing window suddenly reappeared, sweeping in from the left, as if it had been hiding off-screen, waiting to be called back. But the other two times, that has not happened. - I had about half of the tabs bookmarked, but I had so many tabs open in that window (things I was tracking short-term) that I don't even know what all I'm missing, yet. - My list of "recently closed windows" only shows three windows (which shouldn't matter--it would have had to have been the last window closed), instead of the 10 it was previously set to. How did that get changed and how do I put it back to 10? - None of the missing tabs show up in "recently closed tabs"

It's like the window simply vanished, with no trace of it having ever existed. Even though the window itself had been open for months, and contained a handful of permanently open, always-use-them tabs (e.g., my email client). Very frustrating.

So I have a few questions: 1. Is anyone else having this problem? 2. How do I give Mozilla feedback about this unfortunate behavior? 3. How do I determine if the problem is Mozilla or Ventura--I suspect it is how they play together. So who needs to know? 4. Any other suggestions on how I can get back my missing window when it disappears?

Thanks

Often when viewing media, that is YouTube and other platforms, a loud crack of high frequency is heard. This happens at certain times in the media, so I checked and saw that the crack isn't there on a different browser like Brave. To fix this issue I've tried: -Reinstalling Firefox -Updated Realtek sound driver -browsed in Troubleshooting Mode -disabled media.webspeech.synth.enabled in about:config

I've got a Canon printer USB connected to my Windows system. The printer works just fine, when Firefox is not running. When Firefox is on the printer reports that it is offline and will not function. How can I prevent Firefox from having doing this.

I use Tab Session Manager to save sessions, but when I restore them, they get recorded in browsing history which is annoying. I have the Use the "discarded" property for lazy loading option disabled because I want to see favicons, they help me keep track of what and where my tabs are.

Select text on page. CTRL+F. Highlighted text becomes the search term. F3. The number of hits is now shown. Close search bar. Highlight another piece of text. CTRL+F. New search term is now shown. Old number of hits is still shown.

1. Shouldn't the number of hits be initially shown, if "Highlight All" is enabled? 2. Shouldn't the number of hits be automatically updated with a new search term is selected?

I have a strange effect coming up for some months (and many FF versions) already, but maybe I am just too stupid?

Some websites ask you to allow notifications, and you can allow or deny the request. FF puts them onto a list that can be seen and edited within the settings. So far, so good.

But if I close FF and restart it later on, the list is empty again, so every of my fav webpages is asking me again and again. This is really getting annoying.

I don't use "private tabs" and I dont have enabled to clear history on closing the browser (I hope so, but I am not really sure, but I dont want any deletion).

What is causing the delete of the list and how can I prevent it???

I have multiple PCs running, all have firefox sync running and are on auto update.

Since version 100 I have firefox profile issues on all PCs. If firefox is open it stops responding without any notice. After closing and re-opening i get message that the profile is not compatible and firefox cannot continue. I then need to quit, and download the latest Firefox version manually using MS Edge ! Only then I can restart firefox and this reads my profile fine. So the profile is not corrupt or missing !

I guess it is caused after one of my PCs is auto updating first and then saves profile in new version format which is not compatible with the previous version still running on my other PCs.

Why was this never an issue before version 100 ?

I hate to disable auto update nor do I want to loose sync. Cannot find this issue on your support pages or the web.

A fix would be highly appreciated !

Hello

I dont know that if anyone has the same issue as I'm when using laptop

My laptop has 2 keyboards, the first is default laptop keyboard, the second is plugged in usb, i'm using both at the same time

The first works fine when open private mode by shortkeys: Ctrl + Shift + P

But the second one cannot open private mode by shortkeys, although i have tried to refresh, troubleshoot mode

Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this issue?

Здравствуйте! Начиная с Нового года перестал открываться Mozilla Firefox на компьютере на Windows 10.Я несколько раз переустанавливал браузер, но он по-прежнему не открывается даже через запуск от имени администратора! Скажите, в чем может быть проблема и помогите в решении!

Very Frustrated that I downloaded this new version... All of my setting that I've meticulously set up/changed are back to the default settings. All my extension, especially my lastpass are gone. My toolbar has no icons that I previously had set up... WTF

I downloaded some custom fonts that are extremely stylized, so it works well for art but not so well for actually reading text.

For some reason, Firefox is now replacing the fonts on various websites with one of these fonts, despite having all of my Firefox font settings set to default.

I´m using Firefox since many, many years ago. Some days ago I have install this web browser in an old Desktop PC, a Compaq Presario, working with Windows 7 Professional x64, an Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 of 1,87 Ghz, 4 Mb of RAM, 1Gb ethernet adapter with a 1 Gb Router LAN ports and an Internet connection of 300 Mb. Using the same Internet speed test I have observed the following results in differents moments of a day:

Firefox Download speed 130 Mb Opera Download speed 210 Mb Microsoft Edge Download speed 220 Mb Google Chrome Download speed 270 Mb

Firefox can work faster (near the 300 Mb of the Internet provider) with newer Intel processors (Intel i7, for example), but with older Desktop PC its seem not possible. I hope this information can be useful for future developments to allow Firefox to work in a wide variety of Computers.

Thanks so much and Happy New Year to everyone.

I use Bank of America online banking and have for years. Yesterday, all of a sudden, Firefox stopped letting me input anything in the password field. This happened on 3 different computers, 2 running Windows 11 and 1 running Windows 10. The 2 running Windows 11 also use the Mozilla VPN. BofA online banking works fine in Edge and Chrome - this is only happening when I try to log on using Firefox.
