Every time I do a search it takes me to a virus warning anad won't go further.

I read article at: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/.../firefox-backup?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#w_create-a-firefox-backup-file]

But in my up-to-date (or updated) FireFox, the restore backup by file option is appearing BUT enable backup or backup to file option is NOT appearing (screenshot attached).

A website that I have used for years to track my wine cellar invenory has ceased functioning for me. The Web Designer tells me that the problem is a network issue and not his problem. I get no solutions from my ISP.

When I attempt to load the page and look at the Console I get the following error message in response to several GET requests:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://cdn.ct-static.com/dist/js/ct.min.1530c2da96.js.

A web search tells me that this policy is a browser safety net. Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Over the past 2 or 3 weeks, I've noticed that firefox tabs are crashing more often out of nowhere.

https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/4a42f4cd-2203-40ba-a40c-616590251210#tab-details

Here's one of the links for the most recent tab crash. Other crashes pretty much were all the same. I can't read or understand this, so I was hoping someone who can is able to tell me what is wrong.

I fear that it might be hardware related, as I've had tabs also crash on Edge and on a new install of Firefox Developer Edition (which I downloaded simply to test if things crashed there as well.) I've also noticed programs like Discord & Elgato Wave Link sometimes randomly crashing as well - but I'm unsure how to pull logs for those, Firefox was the easiest.

My laptop's hardware specs are as follows:

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 - 16IRX9 Processor: Intel Core i9-14900HX (2.2GHz) Installed RAM: 32 GB GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU Windows 11

If you need more information, please let me know.

Here are some previous crashes that I've reported as well:

Please dont turn firefox into AI slop. The browser does not need "AI" shoved into it and currently the lackthereof is one of the only things keeping a large user base with firefox. Please please don't cram more AI down our throats. Again, no one wants this shit except MBAs.

What is apparently the official Firefox policy is incredibly dumb:

They provide users with that ability to add secondary email addresses, recovery codes, and authentification, BUT they REQUIRE access to the primary email address to make the secondary email address primary.

IF the primary email address is unavailable, the secondary email addresses, recovery codes, and authentification are completely useless for making the secondary email address the primary one.

This supposedly provides "enhanced security".

Pro Tip: If you deny ALL internet access, you will be very secure on the internet.

Not very useful, but..

Genuinely astonished that Firefox Support thinks this is not insane.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at fzttlwrt.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Some of the installations seem to be blocked by Microsoft if you are using a Microsoft system. If the Software being downloaded is not sold by Microsoft store, Microsoft blocks it or deforms it. During any update, Microsoft removes MusicBee and some other software not purchased from Microsoft store

The entire window of Firefox has an abnormally low resolution, makes the entire browser seems blurred. This issue occurs after I upgrade firefox to 146.0. I've attached a screenshot, and you can see the Firefox window has lower resolution than the wallpaper and task bar.
