Firefox Community Forum

My firefox has been acting weird all of a sudden. Usually when I open firefox it loads all my tabs of the previous session and prompts me to enter my master password. But now when I start firefox, it opens for a brief moment and then instantly closes again. When I open firefox again all I get is a new empty window without any tabs, the password prompt also doesn't appear. So I have to manually open my last closed window to get the old window with all the tabs back (so I guess the window that closes instantly was the proper one) but the master password prompt won't show up. I can't access all my saved passwords in the password manager since I'm expected to sign in but when I click on "sign in" nothing happens - I guess the master password dialog just doesn't show up blocking me out of it. The only solution I have found so far is to go to about:support and clear start-up cache data. When it reopens afterwards I get the working window back, with my saved tabs and the master password dialog shows up - everything works. But it only works for this session, when I reboot the computer I have to do the whole issue again. Opening it in safe-mode also works but I need my addons and since it starts after clearing startup cache I don't think the addons are to blame. It just happened all of a sudden, I didn't install any updates or new version prior to the error.

Can anyone please help me? :(

Recent update from MSFT (?) anyhow, suddently Firefox has crashed and can no longer access - can no longer uninstall and reinstall. Simply does not work & I am hoping to be able to correct this so all my various bookmarks, passwords, etc are not suddenly gone

Hello and I hope you are doing good,

Sadly for me it is absolutely not the case It has been a few days since I can't use Firefox at all. When I try to open it, it tells that there is a "side by side error" and that I should use sxstrace.exe. I did that and it tells me that It can't find mozglue, mozglue.MANIFEST, mozglue.DLL. I use Mozilla in French (it is my mother tongue), and it can't find them in French, English or in Neutral :

Thinking it was also linked to the Redistribuables Microsoft Visual C++, I just downloaded all of them again.

My version of Mozilla is 152.0.6.595 and I am on Windows 10.

Please I really need your help and don't want to lose any of my tabs, bookmarks and passwords as I was making very important research for my PHD studies.

Real thanks in advance for your help.

Hello everyone, I tried to open Firefox but it just didn't open. Nothing happens when I click on my desktop icon. Tried as administrator, nothing. Tried refreshing, nothing. Reinstalling, nothing. The closest I got was after reinstalling but I still can't open any website or setting inside of the browser. Tried flushing the dns and also nothing. Pretty much out of ideas so if anyone has some advice it would be great, I'm running a HP laptop with Windows 10. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

all tabs failing to play; is this a profile grep e unlock issues; GROK 5 linux ubuntu link action: terminal commands: ps aux | grep -i firefox ; kill -9 those PIDS; is the number one cause of firefox silently failing to relaunch after a hard kill

When trying to launch the browser from a network folder, I encounter the errors shown in the screenshots. If I launch the browser on one computer, everything is ok, but if I need to launch it on at least the second one, I encounter this error until I close the browser on the first one. I don’t know what could have happened, because I didn’t touch the configuration and everything worked fine for us last year. Nothing was updated or changed. Firefox Portable ini file configuration:

When I turn on my Mac and click the Firefox browser icon, it will not load. It hangs. I get a "not responding" message and have to "force quit," again and again until FINALLY it loads, after five or more failed attempts. This does not happen with Firefox on my laptop, only my Mac. Both Firefox and my Mac are up to date. Why is this happening? Please help. It happens every day when I try to load the browser. I am about to give up and move to Safari. Relatedly, anyone know if it's possible to export all my bookmarks from Firefox to Safari?

Hello I had Mozilla Firefox as my default browser on my Mac laptop

I got a message this morning that Firefox could not open

I tried several times but no luck

I read through some of the online HELP sites and deleted the Firefox app and reloaded it

I also cleared the browsing history on SAFARI and CHROME although I couldn't see why that would work

Still not able to get FIREFOX to open

starting the computer I receive following message: C:ß\users\....\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ibp4oc3n.default-release\search\json.mozlz4

can notbe opened

whatshall I do?

Thank you! Anne

Hello,

I have the latest version (140) of Firefox installed on a Windows 11 laptop with the latest Windows updates. It works fine for my user (who, BTW, has admin privileges) but it won't even start for my wife's Windows user. To be precise, "won't start" means that when you try to launch it it sometimes looks like it's trying to create a window but immediately closes it with no error messages, no crash reports, no logs, nothing at all. It won't even start from the Run menu with any command line flag like -p, -ProfileManager or even -safe-mode, I tried all of them.

Other things I've tried: 1) Check the Windows event logs. Nothing. 2) Run sfc /scannow to check for corrupt system files. 3) Uninstall Firefox, delete the Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder, and re-install it. 4) Move the entire Firefox folder inside %appdata% to a temporary folder outside users. Firefox recreates it, creates 2 new profiles and dies silently again! 5) ...and a lot of other things that I read online and do not remember anymore.

At this point I'm at a loss and I'm an IT guy. Of course I have no idea how this happened, the browser used to work fine up until a week ago or so. Other software that might interfere is Malwarebytes, but it works fine for my user, so... 🤷🏻♂

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
