Recently got this new pc built with an AMD ryzen 5 8500g, 16gb ram 5200mhz if that matters. While using firefox, the browser itself would stop responding and crash or sometimes just hang. I reinstalled firefox and it fixed the crashing and hanging, however a couple of hours ago while playing a browser game the computer reset itself completely Is there any way this can be fixed? I've tried some methods but i'm willing to try them again

If I want to display a table with large amounts of data and at the same time I want to pass it on via POST, Firefox displays only part of this data, What is the reason for this? In other browsers, these pages work without a problem.

The context menu, which I use to select if I want to open a link in another tab (which I do a lot) or in another window (which I do with great regularity) is over flowing with 50+ items. This is beyond ridiculous! A context menu is supposed to provide you functions related to what you are doing. When I just misspelled a the same 50+ options came up. When I right click I expect the context menu, that will work. When I right click on a link and select either open in a "new tab" or "open in a new window" NOTHING happens. When I right click on a misspelled word I do not get a proposed correct word. The context menu is either broken or really needs an overhaul. This just started today after Firefox updated to 134.0

Aim: The goal is to disable Private Browsing mode in Firefox, ensuring that it cannot be used on the system.

I have spent hours on this. With no luck.

      1. Steps Attempted:

1. **Adjusting Settings**:

  - Open Firefox.
  - Click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner.
  - Select "Options" or "Settings".
  - Go to "Privacy & Security".
  - Uncheck the box next to "Always use private browsing mode".
  - Restart Firefox.

2. **Modifying History Settings**:

  - Open Firefox.
  - Click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner.
  - Select "Options" or "Settings".
  - Go to "Privacy & Security".
  - Scroll down to the "History" section.
  - Change the setting to "Use custom settings for history".
  - Uncheck the box next to "Always use private browsing mode".
  - Restart Firefox.

3. **Using about:config**:

  - Open Firefox.
  - Type `about:config` in the address bar and press `Enter`.
  - Accept the Risk and Continue.
  - Search for `browser.privatebrowsing.autostart`.
  - Double-click on it to change the value to `false`.
  - Restart Firefox.

4. **Creating a New Firefox Profile**:

  - Open Firefox.
  - Type `about:profiles` in the address bar and press `Enter`.
  - Click on "Create a New Profile" and follow the prompts.
  - Launch the new profile in a new browser.
  - Go to "Privacy & Security" settings and ensure "Always use private browsing mode" is unchecked.
  - Restart Firefox.

5. **Refreshing Firefox**:

  - Open Firefox.
  - Click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner.
  - Select "Help" and then "More Troubleshooting Information".
  - Click on "Refresh Firefox" and confirm.
  - Firefox will reset to default settings and restart.

6. **Checking Firefox Policies**:

  - Open Firefox.
  - Type `about:policies` in the address bar and press `Enter`.
  - Review any active policies that might be enforcing Private Browsing mode.

7. **Uninstalling and Reinstalling Firefox**:

  - Uninstall Firefox from your system.
  - Download the latest version from Mozilla's official Firefox download page.
  - Reinstall Firefox and check if the issue is resolved.

8. **Registry Edit (Windows)**:

  - Press **`Win + R`** to open the Run dialog.
  - Type **`regedit`** and press **`Enter`** to open the Registry Editor.
  - Navigate to the following key:
    ```
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox
    ```
    - If the `Mozilla` or `Firefox` keys do not exist, you'll need to create them:
      - Right-click on the **`Policies`** key.
      - Select **`New > Key`**.
      - Name the new key **`Mozilla`**.
      - Right-click on the **`Mozilla`** key.
      - Select **`New > Key`**.
      - Name the new key **`Firefox`**.
  - Right-click on the **`Firefox`** key.
  - Select **`New > DWORD (32-bit) Value`**.
  - Name the new value **`DisablePrivateBrowsing`**.
  - Double-click on the **`DisablePrivateBrowsing`** value.
  - Set the "Value data" to **`1`**.
  - Click **`OK`** to save the changes.
  - Restart your computer to apply the changes.

These steps represent a comprehensive attempt to disable Private Browsing mode in Firefox.

There exists a problem, or at least I think it is, that I have with the New Tab page. If I have a website I visit on a daily basis like Discord and Twitch, and want to get rid of it from my New Tab page by clicking on the "Delete from History" button, I expect it to disappear within a single click although it doesn't happen in that way. Instead, I need to repeat the process by many tens of times just for it to be gone, and it frustrates me. Looking for alternatives that I don't fundamentally understand, mainly found in the settings, also don't do any good.

So what's the issue? My best solution is just to keep on what I was doing until it's gone.
