My Firefox will not restart after a crash on Mac, it just keeps displaying the Mozilla Crash Reporter box over and over. I have tried restarting the computer multiple times.

I've experienced this about 4 times now over the past few weeks, at seemingly random intervals. This occurs on both my Mac mini and MacBook pro (both with M1), usually after browsing for an hour or more. Possible culprit - this seems to have only started happening after running a Snowflake proxy. Could this be the cause? If not, what else might it be?

Hi, just as title describes, I'm unable to launch Firefox on my computer right now. I think the app MIGHT have automatically updated itself while I left it open overnight, but I'm not sure. All I know is, I'm unable to launch it after it crashed itself while I wasn't looking, and I don't want to factory-reset it because I have a ton of pages open and don't want to have to reopen them. What do I do?

Crash ID: bp-072b8eec-9024-4c7e-9723-ba6c20221008

(If there's any other information on my computer that I can go fetch to solve the issue, I can do so easily, just tell me)

I have gone into Paddy Power website today in order to watch live racing and suddenly it is unable to load the live feed. Is there something I can do to get this working again please ? I attach a screen shot of what I am seeing.

Many thanks for any help you can provide

Every time I close out of Firefox and then later, reopen Firefox, it restores my previous session.

This is despite my settings being like so:

And my "about: config" set like so:

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-10-10-07-34-04-637557.png

What can be done so that, after closing Firefox, it does *NOT* restore my old session when I decide to open Firefox again?

Hello, since the last update to 105.0.3 I've been having bugs with my keyboard. For unknown reasons, in the middle of nowhere, Firefox can just stop registering any keyboard shortcuts, like Ctrl+A, Alt+Shift when I try to change my keyboard layout and so on. Relaunching Firefox temporary solves the problem until after undetermined period of time it happens again. I didn't have this bug before, I haven't changed my system settings nor Firefox settings recently, so I don't know what might be causing it

I have an issue with YouTube where videos are consistently "skipping" like a record. I have a fast internet connection, I have quit and restarted Firefox, and I have cleared my cache in attempts to fix the issue. I only noticed it about a week ago.

Ever since today, firefox has been very slow with youtube, and I noticed it's been having a memory leak. Every time I load a video on there ram usage spikes by about 1 gb, then gradually increases over time (It never goes down). Also cpu usage when loading a page is really high (almost 100% usage). How do I fix this? I tried all the solutions google had to offer but nothing worked. Never had any problem like this for over the 10 years I've been using firefox

Hello

When i try to watch a twitch stream i can't do that, it shows me this error Your browser encountered an error while decoding the video. (Error #3000). I'm in firefox, Version 105.0.1(64 bit) I tried delete data and cookies,restarting firefox and pc,starting firefox in troubleshootmode

The process manager tells me which window/process is hogging memory. But I have multiple windows open on multiple workspaces. How do I switch to that window so that I can see what it is and decide what to do about it?

Until recently, clicking on a window listed in the process manager would bring that window to the current workspace (ubuntu/xfce). That changed recently. Now clicking/double-clicking does nothing and there only seems to be the option to kill the process.

I guess I can kill it and then look at recently closed windows to see what it was. But that is a bodgy.

Can I fix the process manager so that when I click on one of its listed windows, I get taken to that window on the workspace where it resides? (It always was inconvenient when previously, double-clicking on the window in the list, brought that window to the current workspace. You had then to work out where it had come from if you wanted to put it back).

Firefox's window/workspace management is otherwise excellent. It's the best in my opinion. When it starts-up, for example, it puts all the windows back on the workspaces where they were when it was last closed. Very nice.

Hi. So in desktop OpenGL it is totally valid to write the following in order to flip the frame vertically into dst buffer:

 glBlitFramebuffer(0, h, w, 0, 0, 0, w, h, GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, GL_NEAREST));

In WebGL if I do this:

gl.blitFramebuffer(0, h,w,0 , 0, 0, w, h, gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, gl.NEAREST);

I am getting WebGL warning: blitFramebuffer: If the source is multisampled, then the source and dest regions must match exactly.

Similar error is reported in Chrome.

When I am looking into the related C++ code I can see this:

        if (dstX0 != srcX0 ||
           dstX1 != srcX1 ||
           dstY0 != srcY0 ||
           dstY1 != srcY1)
       {
           webgl->ErrorInvalidOperation("%s: If the source is multisampled, then the"
                                        " source and dest regions must match exactly.",
                                        funcName);
           return;
       }

I am not sure why this restriction has been imposed. GLES2/3 support this kind of dimensions setup with no errors. Can someone explain the reason behind this? And if it is a bug/missed functionality, where should it be reported?

Since the Oct 7 Firefox update (105.0.3 ) for Mac, I've experienced slowdowns and freezes that affect Finder operations as well as Fox. I have a M1 iMac 27" running MacOS12.6. It goes away by when I close and restart Firefox and/or do Mac maintenance with Onyx. Because the effect is progressive, starting mild and getting worse, I think you've got a memory leak. I 1st noticed it in a 30-tab environment. I'll see if it affects my Mac-Air running an earlier MacOS

I've installed Firefox 105.0.3 on a machine with a fresh installation of Windows. I've left the machine running overnight. The next morning, Firefox stops loading pages. When I check C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox, I can see that Firefox.exe has a file date of July, instead of October: all the files in this folder are now for version 102 instead of 105. This has happened several times in a row now. What could be causing this problem?

This is more of an FYI, and it is probably not going to matter to you, but I feel the need to say it.

I have been a Firefox user for as long as I can remember. Until 2014 I worked in a school district and they were having problems with Explorer, so I talked them into trying Firefox for their computer class. They were thrilled with the results.

For the past year or so I have tried everything I could find to fix the sluggishness of this browser on my laptop, which I have had for 2.5 years. It worked fine in the beginning, but has gotten ridiculously slow. I understand the explanation of the multiple instances found in Task Manager, but I cannot, for my sanity, continue to use this program. Currently Task Manager shows 6 for Firefox and I am writing this in Chrome, which has 8 in Task Manager, and is working wonderfully.

I no longer have the time or patience to deal with this. Maybe, if I see more comments regarding the fix for this, I will return to Firefox. But until then, goodbye.

Having just 1 tab open -- my gmail -- firefox is taking nearly 1GB of memory. Opening an empty tab pushes to memory used over 1GB. Also there are 12 listed tabs in the Task Manager.

I already took multiple steps. Cleared cache and cookies. Put in troubleshoot mode and refreshed. Minimized memory usage via about:memory.

Please help.

Within the past week all of the videos available on The Weather Channel website have stopped working on all three of my computers using Firefox, but they will play on my macbook if I switch from using Firefox to Safari.

Trying to log into Paypal. This is an account used on a regular basis. No problem until this afternoon.

Version 105.0.3 is the current version. I updated Firefox to this after I encountered the issue.

Try to go to the home page and I get:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to paypal.com. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked.

I can log in using Edge, on Duck-Duck Go on iPad, Paypal app on my iPhone, and my wife can log in on Firefox. Not sure what version, but she's usually behind me.

Recent scans of Malwayre Bytes and Windows Defender and Norton Power Eraser - no issues found.

Any ideas?
