Firefox Support Forum

Firefox is constantly hanging and trying to load. I have done several re installs and everything else to correct this problem but it still exists.

Thanks for the help al

Ok, there might exist a solution to this, but I am not able to find it or even a better way to explain it.

So, the main issue is, I have a lots of tabs open on my Firefox (Linux) and after some minutes of inactivity, Firefox automatically deletes all the data associated with that site.

So, when I switch back to that site, it reloads.

The main issue is with Whatsapp Web, as I don't get notification if I don't switch to the tab every now and then.

There might be a option for this behavior in the settings but I can't seem to find it.

Please help me find a solution.

Thanks

My computer messed up today and i had to recover it, but i didnt get to save my bookmarks. I've had a mozilla account since 5/2/2024 (i think, thats at least what it says was the date i made my password) and i've saved a lot of bookmarks i cannot lose.

i forgot what email i had made it with tho, so i created a couple of new mozilla accounts and idk if that has messed up the profiles i'm using? i read the mozilla guide on bookmarks and i have like 3 profiles under "profile:default-release" (my settings are in danish, idk if that's what its called in english). but i cant tell which one it is? furthermore, when i click on "manage bookmarks" i get to this place that says something about bookmarks saved on html or something - which i know i havent done.

oh also, before any of that, the first thing i did was synchronize my google chrome bookmarks with firefox and idk if that has messed something up?

Firefox is the only application affected (latest 107.0.1, Windows 11 pro latest updates). I have updated all drivers, run system and memory checks, uninstalled deleted remaining files and registry settings, twice actually all to no avail.

I have recently changed ISP but cannot see how that affects just Firefox (Chrome/Opera/Edge all work) and also moved to Bit Defender antivirus. Here I think I saw startup installations in Chrome etc for bit defender but never for Firefox. I have tried turning off all virus web protection still no joy.

I have looked briefly at the crash reports but with my level of expertise I can see no common crash reason.

I have had no add-ins installed for last week while trying to get this to work again. I have used Firefox for years and have no wish to move to another browser but this situation is driving me nuts.

If there is anybody out there with any ideas on next steps I could take?

Cheers Mike

I have two end users that are having a different issues but they are of similar nature. First user can not upload anything to Microsoft Share point. She gets a message that says she does not have proper permissions to upload. She does not have the same issue on Chrome or Edge. The second user is trying to download and or save a file from a couple of different websites but regardless on where she tries to save it on her computer it says she does not have proper permissions to save to "x" file location. She also does not have this issue when she is on Chrome or Edge.

For both users I have tried clearing cache and cookies, Rebooting their computers, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, deleting registry keys/user data from the computer itself. I have had no luck with resolving this issue and I can not find anything online that remotely resembles this issue.

Thank you and please advise

I don't want any part of my sites exposed to the wider internet, so I'm not going to have ssl certificates.

I don't want to use self signed certificates either. Since it's all local, http is fine. Firefox should not override access of http to https.

I've turned off HTTPS-Only Mode, I've followed instructions from so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30532471/firefox-redirects-to-https

At this point, I can only assume this is a bug?

this is working in IE, Chrome, and somehow in OPera, but not in Firefox, any idea why?? <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="normalize28.4.23.css"> <style> .main-div { position:relative; width:100%; max-width:1000px; height:100%; max-height:800px; background:lightblue url('Hotel.jpg') no-repeat center/cover; } .i-box { position:absolute; width:100px; height:100px; background-color:orange; bottom:1%; right:1%; z-index:1; text-align:center; font:bold 6em times, serif; line-height:50px; } .i-box span { font-weight:600; } .info-layers { position:absolute; width:80%; height:80%; bottom:10%; left:10%; display:none; } .info-layers > div:first-child { opacity:0.5; background-color:white; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform:translate(-50%, -50%); height:100%; width:100%; z-index:87; } /*=================================== ** info text **=================================== */ .info-layers > div:nth-child(2) { opacity:1.0; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; font-size:1.5em; letter-spacing:.08em; background-color:#222222; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform:translate(-50%, -50%); padding:2em 3em 2em; max-width:70%; z-index:90; } .i-box:hover { display:none;} .i-box:hover ~ .main-div:not(:hover) { opacity:0.5; } .i-box:hover + .info-layers { display:block; } .i-box:hover + .info-layers > div:first-child { opacity:0.5; width:80%; height:100%; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform:translate(-50%, -50%); z-index:87; background-color:white; margin:0; padding:0; } </style>

Hello, as of yesterday, I noticed that my Google searches were displaced by ads. If I search something, Google would normally display a short summary and a little piece of information at the top of the page, but instead the first ~10 results are all ads, one of the top ones always being yahoo.com. Same goes for searching for translations "[Any word] + language" normally results in the translation tool being displayed at the top, but again just ads.

I have scanned my PC for viruses (with the Windows Defender and Bitdefender) but at least they didn't find anything. When I deactivate all my extensions (Which is only Adblocker, ironically), nothing changes. When I browse in Safe Mode, the ads do not appear. I have already cleared my Cache etc. but that didn't do too much. No I installed a Scriptblocker and with that, Google is back to normal again. But of course, even if that workaround works, I'd also like to know what is causing this. (I also checked with Chrome for example, the problem is Firefox specific)

Any ideas what I could try next or what the problem might be?

cannot install fire fox I have used it for years as my main browser can you please help me get it back? This is a brand new computer. I should not be having any issues with Firefox

I've been using X-notifier for a long time. It's toolbar button context menu shows you all your available individual email accounts for access.

In the past, in the case of Gmail, it would take you directly to whichever account selected, but now, regardless of the account you opt for, it takes you to you "default/main" account, and you must the go to the Google accounts menu to chose another account.

Is this a Google idiosyncrasy, or is there another Gmail manager that can do do what I'm looking for?

Hi all -

Lately as part of organizing my life I have had two Firefox windows open, a work one and a personal one.

If I switch back and forth fairly frequently, things seem to function alright. But if I spend too many days only in the "work" window, I lose the ability to use the "personal" window (or vice versa). I can see it and click on it in the "Window" menu, but then nothing happens.

I tried Bookmarking All Tabs to see if I could close Firefox and then re-open the window using the bookmarks, but no functionality appears to be accessible for that window. If I restart Firefox once it will dutifully reopen the ghost window (ie. I can see it in the Windows menu but not access it). Restarting windows again loses the window completely.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is the only solution just to keep "checking in" on the other window, even if I'm only using one of them for a few days?

Thanks in advance, K

The attached image shows Chrome and Firefox accessing the exact same URL at the exact same time. Chrome is successful, Firefox is not (actually, fails over and over). So . . . wut? Clearly not a network problem, clearly not an accessibility problem, there is no firewall or proxy and Firefox is able to access other sites. Only this one is a problem. At least, so far. Security setting is Standard.

When I visit Hulu.com some strange emails appear along with legitamite emails, but ones I have never used on the Hulu site. Is there a way to remove them?
