I use Firefox trying to access myGov account. I can Log into myGov account without any issues, but once I log in. I can't click on link within myGov to go to any of the linked services. Forefox just stay on the page without going anywhere. Every time I want to log into MyGov, I got to use other browser like Microsoft Edge. In Edge or Chrome, the same log in process, but then when I click on the linked service, like ATO, Medicare, etc. It actually take me to ATO, or Medicare etc, where In Firefox it does not work when I click on the link.

Firefox recently seems to be crashing randomly when I disconnect from VPN. At least I think it's crashing. This has maybe started a few weeks ago?
What happens is that when I disconnect from my VPN (ProtonVPN), I will randomly not be able to load any pages. If I go to any website, it will just get stuck loading forever. No timeout. I'm able to visit the browsers own pages like settings, some about: pages like about:performance, about:memory, etc.
Why I'm not sure if it's crashing is because the browser itself is not closing, I have to manually close the browser window. Once I close the window manually and wait a while, the crash reporter pops up. If I close the window manually then re-open it, theres a text prompt that shows up telling me Firefox is still open and if I want to close it to re-open Firefox.
I don't think it's the VPN's issue as when I disconnect from my VPN, applications other than Firefox work and have internet connectivity (a separate browser like Chrome, or discord, etc)
What I have tried:
I have the crash report details (from Firefox and Firefox Nightly) but unsure where best to upload or if it contains any sensitive data.
Maybe pasting this is fine? Both mention this at the last few lines of details: Winsock_LSP: Hyper-V RAW : 2 : 34 : 1 : 1 : 0x20026 : 0x8 : %SystemRoot%\system32\mswsock.dll : : 1234191b-4bf7-4ca7-86e0-dfd7c32b5445

XPCOMSpinEventLoopStack: default: nsHttpConnectionMgr::Shutdown
And I also see this for maybe why the browser itself doesn't "crash" MozCrashReason: Shutdown hanging at step AppShutdownNetTeardown. Something is blocking the main-thread.
If it's okay to share the crash reports then I can add them.

Some Chinese characters are displayed incorrectly in my iOS Firefox app, with completely different strokes then they should have. It's not traditional Chinese or any other actually existing character, it's just straight up wrong.
As an example, below I am typing 冷 (cold) and it displays correctly in my keyboard (and everywhere else on my iPhone) but when I actually select it, the character looks completely different. If I search, it's still recognized as the correct character, but it's just displayed wrong, making it very difficult to read as these aren't characters that actually exist. This is just one example, with multiple other characters having similar issues.

When I try to set up the new built-in VPN setting it gets stuck in a loop:
I click the "get started" which then opens another tab where it gets me to confirm my account
Once I do that it says it will automatically open the VPN
When it does so the VPN window is the same one as before with just the "get started" button and no other options.
If I click on that it then opens another new tab and does the exact same thing in an unending loop

Firefox does not ask where to save downloads. They are simply saved automatically and then opened.,
1. I have no idea where a PDF was saved to when it opens.
2. When it is open (it opens in Foxit Reader), I can not delete the PDF. (aside: I consider this is flaw, but that is Foxit Reader's problem, not Firefox's. Or, is it really?)
I want downloads save to the same place ALWAYS or I want the option to ALWAYS specify where to save a download.
How do I achieve that goal?

Heyo! So, I've had this ongoing issue with Firefox for quite some time around trying to access the Newgrounds website, but failing to do so. I have tried several things such as disabling the enhanced tracking setting, disabling DNS over HTTPS, forcing cookies and third-party popups to be allowed but that does not work what so ever and disabling enhanced tracking is greyed out so it's not even clickable to toggle off.
One thing that did work was to use the built-in VPN, but I really don't want to constantly have to use a VPN to browse one singular site every time I want to access it. So now for the question. Has anyone else experienced this? And if you have, how did you solve it if at all?

Firefox 152.0.3 on Windows 10. SVG icons such as Google Maps interstate shields flash briefly then turn into squiggly lines. Same issue occurs when uploading images to websites and viewing Amazon book previews. Works fine in Chrome. Already tried: disabling hardware acceleration, toggling gfx.webrender.all, gfx.webrender.software.d3d11, gfx.webrender.allow-partial-present-buffer-age in about:config, clearing startup cache, removing Tampermonkey extension, disabling Killer Network Manager (CNMNSST.exe). I uploaded an image of how interstate icons show up in google maps.

I've been using the extension "Tree Style Tab" and "TST Colored Tabs." I've been looking for a way to disable the native Firefox tab bar, whether on top of the window or to the left side. I haven't been successful on my own.
After a couple of hours troubleshooting this with CoPilot, It suggested I post the following short summary:
Firefox 152.0.6 (64-bit) about:profiles shows active profile: C:\Users\dmerc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\usm8kxcr.default-release
Opening that directory from about:support shows an empty folder.
profiles.ini references: agwp164m.default-release
userChrome.css loads correctly in a separate profile but not in the profile containing my current extensions and history.
The details of how it came to this conclusion:
Based on everything you've found:
The profile with your current extensions and recent history is reported as: usm8kxcr.default-release
Opening that profile folder shows an empty directory. The only other real profile on disk is: agwp164m.default-release
We successfully proved userChrome.css loads in a different test profile (Profile 1) because the toolbar turned red. Therefore, the CSS mechanism itself works on your machine.
My conclusion is that your Firefox profile registration has become inconsistent. Firefox appears to be using a profile that does not correspond cleanly to the profile folders you're seeing in Explorer. At this point I would:
Back up the entire folder: (NOTE: DONE - backed to to another drive) C:\Users\dmerc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
Keep using the profile that contains your extensions and recent history. Avoid deleting any profiles or profile folders.
Post the details you've collected to either: the Mozilla Support forum, or r/firefox
The key facts to provide are: Firefox 152.0.6 (64-bit)about:profiles shows active profile: C:\Users\dmerc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\usm8kxcr.default-release.
Opening that directory from about:support shows an empty folder.
profiles.ini references: agwp164m.default-release
userChrome.css loads correctly in a separate profile but not in the profile containing my current extensions and history. \ Those facts point to a profile-management issue rather than a Tree Style Tab or CSS issue.
The good news is that your current extensions and recent history are still accessible, so this doesn't look like data loss. The profile mapping itself needs to be untangled before custom CSS can reliably be applied.
It also suggested not copying any folders and files between profiles for now.
Help me understand this. and how to fix this problem
