Firefox Support Forum

Recently having problems with very slow running and freezing so performed a refresh. Now I seem to have lost all my tabs that automatically opened when starting Firefox. Can I get them back from the Old Firefox Data folder that the Refresh process created on my Desktop or do I have to start again and remember all 78 tabs that used to be on my Home Page?

My Private Internet Access VPN does not have access to your browser following recent update. Here's my VPN instructions to reconnect: Firefox has recently changed the way addons handle proxy connection. Allowing the addon to run in Private Windows is now required for proxy settings to be updated.

Please visit the URL below to view you addons page. Then click on the "Private Internet Access" addon to modify its settings. From here, change the "Run in Private Windows" setting to "Allow".

I go to addons page but there is no Private Internet Access addon to open.......................... How do I get to clicking on "Allow"? Thanks.

Starting approximately late last year (2020) -- and perhaps as long ago as summer of 2020 -- I experience a problem with FF where after several hours -- we'll say 3-5 -- my page loads take a minute or worse. Generally, I don't wait, but I know that if I wait long enough, at least sometimes, they will load, but the slowness persists after that, so it's not like a network hiccup. To resolve the problem, I simply close Firefox, being sure to kill all FF processes (often check Task Manager to be sure) and then simply restart Firefox. Voila! Lightening fast again.

If I leave even one FF process running, the problem will persist.

If, while Firefox is struggling to load, I open another browser, say perhaps Chrome (sorry) and attempt the same site... instant load. A different site: instant load.

If I open FF on the computer next to this one that is running Ubuntu, it works just fine. I do not have this issue on Linux.

I was connecting over WiFi, but am now hardwired to a switch connected to cable modem

I am running Windows 8.1 and FF 88.0.1 (64 bit).

I use Google Voice and have much trouble with it, including slow page loads even when other pages are loading normally. This is the legacy Voice. Sometimes, I get the notice that a page is slowing FF down and I believe it is referring to Voice

I use the following extensions: Firefox Multi-account Containers, Facebook Container, Honey, Internet Download Manager + IDM Integration Module, and Tails Verification.

My only plugins are the two defaults (or so they claim to be): Open H264 Video Codec and Widevine Content Decryption Module.

I had disabled DNS over HTTPS as part of troubleshooting this. As of right now, I have re-enabled it.

I have reviewed many posts regarding slow page loads. None of them are quite the same as mine and most are somewhat reversed -- the users report initial slow page loads that get better once the first page loads. I also have not seen any where the problem is so easily (temporarily) resolved.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Hello everybody! I have Win 8.1 and Firefox 88.0.1 (64 bit). Tell me why when viewing the properties in the SSL certificate for the site wireshark.org SHA256 fingerprint for 41:FA:FA:2E:FE:C4:B2:B1:DA:F7:98:B5:3F:F4:99:A8:FA:2C:34:1C:CD:C2:00:4A:BC:AA:8D:55:95:80:B4:44 but when checking through ssllabs.com other 0967d74b94a671fae83807f85bffc745bcf6e0dcd9afd75c64e91969e27e7999 Thank

up until maybe 6 or more months ago my firefox over the past 6 or more years has properly interacted with an installed pki token /certificate; that is when i directed firefox to a website that required this specific token, firefox/token application asked for the password; that was normal. however now just opening firefox 88.0.1 64 bit on windows 8.1 asks for the token's password without being directed to go to any website just opening the application.

there has never been a firefox password requirement on my configuration, nor has sync ever been used.

does anyone have any ideas about the more than strange firefox behavious

thanks dick

Ever since you added your internal PDF Viewer, you seem to have traveled down a dark path where you force people to use your viewer by disabling the "Save As" selection in Options:Applications:PDF. Could you please restore the "SaveAs" option?

Oh, I did read the answer to last year's request, and right-click does not always work. Some Web Pages launch another web page which takes care of saving the PDF. Therefore, when you right-click the link, Firefox asks if you would like to save the .html file......

This morning I upgraded to version 89 and selected the dark theme when asked. It was the theme that I was using until now but you can't read anything in the tabs, they are not distinguishable from each other.

April 21, 2021 Mozilla updated my Firefox to 88 and I had no problems with that update. Today I have lost hours trying to get my tabs changed so I my eyes are not strained by the glare and and appearance of the frequently used site tiles. Glare sets off my migraines. One volunteer "luckett67" suggested a temporary fix to someone else that helps so I hope it continues to work. Why am I having these issues:

1. Tabs I want open above the address bar sometimes disappear.

2. DuckDuckGo jumps from the inquiry rectangle to the https:// line on the top, which is not what I am used to.

Hello, after updating towards FF 89.0 Google Maps shows wrong and some cut off descriptions. Never have had that problem before. Switching over backwards to 2D view, correct descriptions are given. But pressing the refresh button does not return to previous view as it should be. Find some more details in attached screenshots recently made. B. regs. Moppi

When using Youtube, drop down list appears, click on preferred name with mouse, does not work, deletes all writing. Must click on search icon on right of search box to work. Sometimes on eBay. When on Facebook, I cannot respond to question on my wall, but I can on others walls, These works fine with Chrome & Brave. Mozilla 89.0. Hardware acceleration turned off

Thanks to Proton expanding my Bookmarks Menu off the bottom of the screen, I was re-arranging my bookmarks folders. While wondering which of my folders I had to prune, I noticed another in-built redundancy. The entry "Manage Bookmarks Ctrl+Shift+O" appears twice, at the top and the bottom of the menu. Incidentally the bottom entry is misaligned (Firefox v89 on Windows).

Is there a particular reasons for this duplication? Can I remove either of these entries?

since v89.0 I cannot visually detect which tab is producing sound. Now I must hover the mouse to see the speaker icon. Having lot of tabs visually finding the tab that is producing sound is a good thing.

BTW I do not like the new tabs w/o a clear division between then, tabs are tabs no a floating string of flat icons. I wish I had an option to go back to the old tabs.

Thanks for the effort. Patrick

Hello,

I've been using Firefox for a looong time and this is the best. I loved the curvy separations bertween tabs. I'm devastated by the new design of this update. Litterally almost crying. I hate the new tabs, because they are just ugly to me, and also not practical. The fact that tabs are not separated even when not selected is really confusing and the selected tab is not clearly popping off. Please tell me that there is a way to bring back the old tabs back, or I will definitely cry like a baby. :'(

Please forgive my mistakes in English, and thank you for any help !

Was upgraded to Windows 8 ver 89 earlier this wk. Lost ability to open Yahoo e-mails. Can log in, open & see e-mails, but can't access/ open them. Works fine if I use MSN as a browser, so I suspect the upgraded Firefox browser is causing the problem. Any suggestions? Thx.
