My issue is that as soon as I open Firefox, the tab crashes. Open a new tab and it crashes. Unable to add content from the search bar before a tab crash.

I've tried troubleshoot mode and the tabs still crash. Refreshed FF and still tabs crash Uninstalled and reinstalled, but tabs still crash. I have no extensions running

There are no crash reports because FF is running but unresponsive due to tab issues. I'm out of ideas for using my favourite browser.

FF was working on my new Dell all in one, but this issue started about 3 days ago and I've been trying everything to make FF work again.

Hello,

On some websites Firefox is displaying strange text/characters. I've tried refreshing and troubleshooting, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and the problem was fixed for about 24 hours, and now it's back. I have confirmed my language is sent to English.

Has anyone experienced this? And if so, how did you fix it?

I don't want to use another browser, but at this point it looks like I'm going to have to. Everything displays properly on Chrome.

With the last update I suddenly have the url/search box background and its search results drop down background set to an ugly pink with diagonal lines.

I am visually impaired and now its almost impossible to use firefox because I can't read the text on top of the diagonal colored bands. There doesn't seem to be any settings to turn on or off this appearance.

I will have to switch browsers until this is fixed and I don't want to.

Please advise -- had an Xfinity outage mid-morning as all things were working just fine in Firefox -- after the outage I restarted the computer and had the MacBook Pro set to open all apps that were previously open. Everything opened back up except Firefox, so I clicked to open. It was the default start page as if Firefox was brand new. I went to History > Restore Previous Session . . . it was grayed out. So I restarted the computer once more, and went back to that option -- Restore Previous Session was available, but it only opened the 2 start tabs from the first effort.

How can I get back to the morning's setup? Or is that somehow long gone??

ive scanned my system with two different antiviruses and nothing comes up, and nothing was being downloaded before ive tried to install firefox.

ive tried to install it twice, once with my setting migrated and once all clean and they both tried to download this, is this a false positive or is the install hacked?

ive downloaded the installer from here.

Hello How to remove extension symbol from toolbar? ^(see image): https://i.imgur.com/2bh8se5.png Any idea? Thanks

Why is it Firefox can't control META timelines. Both Facebook and Instagram jump down several posts while scrolling.... I was going to blame it on META till I found this doesn't occur with Chrome or Edge. Firefox is my preferred browser due to the many addon's available.

Firefox repeatedly crashes when attempting to play video or audio files of whatever type, in every web page.

I.e., just opening a YouTube page without playing the video is fine, but when I click on Play, it instantly crashes.

Here are all the error reports which I stumbled on, and which I submitted:

Dear Team,

I'm using version 114.0 (64 bits) with Eset Internet Security 16.1.14.0 installed on a Windows 10 machine 22H2 Build 19045.2965. I have refreshed Firefox from previous version yesterday (06/06/2023) (it asked me to restart the browser). Since then I cannot load any page (not even the about:crashes or settings or passwords, or any website). All pages keep on crashing, the reports are not generated nor sent to support. I have tried to locate the crash reports under APPDATA, but none being generated. I also tried to disable my anti-virus software thinking it may cause an issue, but still no luck. The same happens in Safe mode as well. Tried clean install as well, but again the same thing happens.

Kindly look into it!

Best regards,

Sandor

Gmail sidebar loads Calendar no error but sidebar empty/clear/white; Calendar only (other sidebar apps eg Tasks or Contacts load fine); Firefox only (other browsers eg Chrome or Edge no problem.

There is a website where a certain page of it is broken but rest seems to work. How can I report this? I tried using private browsing to see if the problem was caused by cookies but it isn't. Other browsers work but firefox doesn't.

When I logged on today, I realized that my Firefox homepage was not displayed. Only three Firefox webpages were displayed.

Furthermore, when I did open a new page, it was not my homepage. All of my homepage icons have been replaced with many others; Reddit, Wikipedia and such. None of mine were displayed.

When I opened GMail, my Inbox font size had been changed.

Does this mean that I have been hacked?

While I can click on the extensions button circled in the screenshot to access them, I can't move those extensions to the toolbar directly. When I search for this issue online, everyone says to use the customize firefox menu to add what I want, but as you can see in the picture - no extensions are listed there, although they are installed and functioning. Very weird because my other install, which is up to date, has this set as default and it has been forever. I'm bewildered. Any suggestions? Thanks

I had a financial transaction on an business account that I did not enter. The tech services people told me it came from from my PC. They are a big company as opposed to a small 'mom + pop' operation. They suggested I take PC in to a Big Box store to get PC scanned and remove any virus/malware found. Contacting the big-box store they said they could scan my PC remotely to look for virus/malware.

So, my question is: Should I take pc to local computer experts/big box store or purchase virus software to use myself?

I do have several free virus protection programs on my windows PC.

Hi,

I live in the US, and don't use a VPN. I noticed my firefox is defaulting to sending DNS over HTTPS requests to the default Canadian DNS over HTTPS, rather than the US provider. How can I change my firefox settings to not think I'm Canadian?

Thanks.

Since about two months ago, I haven't been able to update Firefox(or any other browser for that matter). I've tried the typical method of going to Preferences, checking for updates, but I can't get passed that point. I get this error message stating "Failed to check for updates."

Chrome was giving me much of the same issue, I've allowed GoogleUpdate on my firewall rules, restarted the PC and tried again. Still got the same error message. I have no other antivirus software installed on this device other than the Windows Defender default app. Firefox hasn't told what I should be allowing past my firewall so I haven't tried anything similar for Firefox.

I also tried uninstalling Firefox, but when I tried to reinstall, I couldn't finish that process because clicking on Download Now led me to this error message stating "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at download.mozilla.org."

I assumed this was maybe a DNS issue. I tried a DNS flush but that also was ineffective. I tried changing my DNS servers to 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2, also tried other known DNS servers but that didn't work either.

In the meantime, I'd like to at least get an offline installer going because my current version is 110.0.1.

Thank you.
