I recently started experiencing errors for logging into third-party websites that use Google sign-in.

On one site (coches.net), I have the sign-in popup loop for like 3 times and then disappear but leaves me unlogged.

On the other site (etoro.com), the sign-in popup shows but then I get an error message from the site about the login. Then it won't let me reconnect since CloudFlare won't accept my "I'm not a robot" prompt and keeps reloading the same page.

This started happening yesterday. I'm not aware of any Firefox or Anti-Virus updates that have happened since, measures not existing yesterday.

I can sign-in correctly from Chrome with no issues.

When I kill Firefox (it is the fastest way to close it) it keeps restoring the previous session in full after a new start. The browser did it 5 times in a row.

While I want to restore only the tabs of current importance.

Here are my configuration settings for restoring after crash.

Please let me know how i can get to Session Restore screen after the second killing.

Thank you!

Hello, so i have a hp laptop running on windows 11. I have 2 different wifi sources here at my home, one of them is a DSL zyxel modem from century link & the other is a Verizon internet gateway that runs off of cell towers. I recently logged into both of them to configure some of the settings etc. and in the past when i only had the DSL wifi, i would log into it via file explorer>network>network interface and then select the router & would automatically be taken to the login page. For the verizon wifi, i had to go into the browser searchbar ,while being connected to that network, and enter the default IP address of 192.168.0.1 and it would take me to the login page. I first logged into the DSL network and then for the first time ever, into the verizon one, and now when i try to login to the DSL network via my traditional method & also by inputting its IP address into the searchbar (both routers have the same default address to access setup), it takes me to the verizon login page regardless if im connected to it or not. If i input the DSL modems IP address into Edge browser while connected to it, it takes me to the correct login page for that network which leads me to believe that somehow something is messed up with my firefox browser. Ive already tried going into the saved passwords and deleting the saved verizon login info. Any other ideas as to what it could be? Thanks, JD

Hi there :)

Is it possible to make a link open a new tab with "Find in Page" automatically enabled so that people do not have to ctrl-F or click on "edit" to have the search open (as many people do not even know that option is there !!!) ?

Many thanks

My computer crashed and I had to reset my account. For some reason the password that I was 99% sure was correct didn't work so in order to change my password it said I need an authentication key. I didn't recall getting one of those so I reset my password (even though it said on the screen I would only lose things like passwords and history). I of course lost all my bookmarks that I've been collecting for the last 20 years. And as life goes I've now found the authentication key. My question is can I get anything back now that I have that key or all my bookmarks are forever deleted?

I am having trouble with the ENO extension when I use Firefox. I click on the extension and it just spins and spins and spins. I have contacted Capital One about this at least six times. Every time I do I am told that it is working fine. I might be told to reboot, clear cache, etc. It might work once but then stops working.

When I use it on Chrome it always works fine. Every time. If I don't remember before I start a credit card transaction and use Firefox I end up when it is the time to use ENO and it does not work. Then I have to start over.

How can I get Capital One to put in some work on this? Can you help? I don't think ENO should be available for Firefox since it works so poorly.

Thanks

I was working on my 2023 14" MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 16GB memory) and a window popped up stating I need to close an application due to me being out of memory. Then my computer froze and I was forced to do a hard reset.

Normally Firefox uses ~450MB however the window stated that Firefox was using 95.57GB of memory as indicated in the attached photo.

I have checked for crash logs and there are no reported crash events listed. And checking Activity monitor shows that Firefox is back to using its normal memory of ~450MB.

Can someone help provide some guidance on what happened and how I can prevent this from happening as I was forced to do a hard reset.

This is Mind-Numbingly Frustrating!!! I try to load an ordinary website, in this case, DiscountTire.com. I can see that it Firefox tries to load the site, but won't. This is a VERY LARGE COMPANY. But, as is frequently the case, Firefox will not load the site. I try to allow it in Privacy section, but to no avail. And yes, it is an https site. What Gives? This happens repeatedly for many (MANY) websites; HOW DO I TELL FIREFOX THAT I WANT TO USE A SITE?

Somehow this en.softonic nonsense has made it into my windows notifications tab under 'firefox' notifications. How can I get rid of it? I can't find it in the General, Add-on or Extensions settings of Firefox or Windows Uninstall to turn it off or remove it.

How can I get rid of it? I don't want it.
