Firefox Community Forum

Firefox has recently started requesting me to sign in after every login to my laptop. I am unaware of any action on my part that may have prompted this. I wish to remain logged in: How do I ensure this?

Hi, I have multiple devices using firefox , all these apps have around 500 tabs open in background, they are listed in firefox's tabs from other devices on my pc but I want to save or backup them to the disk on my pc what is the workaround for it ?

I have been using Bitdefender Securepass and it stopped working. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall but I cannot see it in the available extensions.

I would like to use Bitdefender Securepass or Password Manager with Firefox.

When I run firefox, the following commands lsof |grep -i firefox|grep memfd|wc -l lsof |grep -i firefox|grep memfd|grep DEL|wc -l produce values in the 20 000 or even 100 000 range.

For instance, currently with only 1 tab open - the form on which I type this question - I get $lsof |grep -i firefox|grep memfd|wc -l 19317 $lsof |grep -i firefox|grep memfd|grep DEL|wc -l 16362 And these numbers are still on the low side. In normal use (e.g., 10 tabs open), the numbers reach close to 100 000.

Some example lines of lsof: firefox 3883 135330 StreamT~s xxx DEL REG 0,1 27559 /memfd:mozilla-ipc firefox 3883 135325 Indexed~I xxx 156u REG 0,1 67108864 11945 /memfd:pulseaudio (deleted) firefox 3883 135325 Indexed~I xxx 160r REG 0,1 13192 78 /memfd:mozilla-ipc (deleted) firefox 3883 135427 StreamT~s xxx 132r REG 0,1 170 3110 /memfd:mozilla-ipc (deleted)

Although it may be a problem in lsof, this suggests that firefox performs a lot of memmaps that are later deleted, but are deleted in a way that leaves some left over state. Note that the "DEL" state in column 6 does not always agree with "(deleted)" in the right most column.

I first discovered this issue when my computer started failing with messages like pipewire-pulse[103898]: pw.mem: 0x55ce0273ac50: Failed to create memfd: Too many open files This could be a coincidence of course.

Current firefox version: 137.0 (but also occurs in other versiosn, e.g. 133.0.3) uname -r: 6.12.7-100.fc40.x86_64 OS: fedora 40

Below my search bar is a row showing titles and little icons for sites that I've visited, some well over a month ago. There's a >> at the right of the row in case I want to see more. I don't. I want to get rid of all of them and if there's a setting to stop them showing up in the first place I'd use it.

None of the following has worked:

Clear history Close all tabs Clear cookies

Help?

I have so many sites now that will not open since the new version of Firefox. Why?

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.googleadservices.com.

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)

I'm using Firefox 136.0 (64 bit) on my laptop

Up until now, I've had no problem with filling in online forms, specifically Amazon Returns in this case. Now I find that all goes well until a page appears with a selection of drop-off locations from which to send the return. Pressing the appropriate button just leads me to a blank page, with no message, no matter how many attempts I make, even after a re-start.

Not knowing any better, I wondered if this was to do with the pop-up blocker, so I gave the website address as an exception to the blocker, but nothing has changed.

The form was successfully completed when accessing it from my wife's ipad mini, so I conclude the error somehow lies within Firefox.

I also have found that on some websites where pages should show images, I'm left with just a blank space.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

I needed to sign out of my Mozilla account on my browser and when tried to sign in again, I needed to change my password, as the one I remembered was wrong. I did not know that if I reset my password I would lose all sync data if I did not have a recovery key. Now it seems I have lost all my bookmarks and passwords. Is there a way to recover them or my account is reverted to a previous state? I need urgent assistance, please!

I have "Open tabs in links instead of new windows" checked.

I have no plug-ins that would cause this.

I have experimented with the various, conflicting "about:config" directions given online. (Nothing works, so I have reset about:config to default.)

• It is also worth noting the Firefox Support page is immune to its own Dark mode. WHY.

I am going to switch to Opera, since it has none of these problems.

Before commenting or responding on this post, make sure you actually READ IT first. I am so tired of these online MANSPLAINERS being all, "Go to about:config and do blah-blah-blah," or, "This is what you do: Go to Settings > General > Tabs > make sure you check the box that says "Open tabs in links instead of new windows."

Seriously, way too many people online are like customer support agents on the phone: "Try unplugging it and wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in; try closing it and restarting it."

If anyone has any real solution, I'd greatly appreciate it.
