Firefox Support Forum

Attempting to download and install browser. exe. file downloads OK. When running exe. file, it hangs halfway through, and stops. Following message appears: "Gah. Your tab just crashed" Restore tabs option fails to fix problem!

My desktop PC is using Win 10, 64 bit with 16GB RAM. Chrome browser Version 114.0.5735.110. Have cleared cache and history. Win Defender only anti-malware prog running. Have run CCleaner.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you, Geoff in Australia.

I was browsing and commenting on a YouTube video, when my my typing wasn't showing up for several seconds after I typed it...like 20-30 seconds. I checked Windows Task Master and 10 instances of firefox were open (I was only using one tab) and they were using 68% of my CPU and 90% of my available memory, basically locking up my computer. I tried closing it and reopening it, but the same thing happened. I had to go to another browser. I remember this happening in the past, and I had to move to another browser permanently. I would much rather stay with Firefox if you can prevent this from happening.

thanks.

Starting the quest (i.e., tilting at a huge, anonymous, darkside windmill) anew.

To the Firefox volunteers, developers, moderators, or whoever might read this that is willing and able to do something about it: Provide a means for end users to place the Tabs below the Bookmarks on screen.

Dear Mozilla Team,

I have severe difficulties with my Windows computer to open many websites I want to open, even those of banks I normally can easily enter.

Do you have any advice for me how to fix that? I searched in the help function but found the advice to be insufficient. And I also found no way to manually change the setting for the individual pages.

Thank you very much for your help.

When I click a link to https://drive-image.com, Firefox gives me the security error:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to drive-image.com. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for drive-image.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: secure.r-tt.com, www.drive-image.com, www.r-studio.com, www.r-tt.com, www.r-undelete.com, www.r-wipe.com

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

But here's what makes it so bizarre: Clicking the link gives the error, but if I type that URL into the address bar, it works perfectly fine. I can even right-click the link > Open Link in New Tab (or Window) and it works fine. I originally found this because I searched "r drive image" in DuckDuckGo and that link was the first result. But it also happens in a very simple test HTML page I wrote, which just contains a link to that page.

When drive-image.com is loaded, it immediately redirects, so that the page actually shown is https://www.drive-image.com/.

Some more info:

• This is on my laptop (Windows 10 Home 64-bit), in Firefox (up to date, 113.0.2 (64-bit)).
• It also happens in latest Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox codebase.
• Also happens on my other computer, running Windows 10 Home 64-bit, in Firefox and Mullvad Browser.
• I created a new profile and it still happens using that.
• I turned off uBlock and Ghostery extensions, it still happens.
• I added an exception in Firefox Settings: Enhanced Tracking Protection for drive-image.com and it still happens.
• It does not happen in Chrome or Edge.
• It happens with my VPN connected or disconnected, on both computers, which use different VPN servers when connected.

I've gotten the infrequent security error clicking what looks like a legitimate link before and shrugged it off, going elsewhere. But this time knowing the site was legit, I messaged their support and eventually ended up at this point after much investigating, and suspect something serious is amiss.

Images of the error are attached, along with an image of my test page's text if that matters (since I can't attach a text file).

Does anyone else get this error by clicking a link to that site? Is this a Firefox bug/issue, or an actual problem with their website/certificate?

Outlook via Firefox shows titles, no content. Sometime I can read the content of the first email I select, but, no content appears in subsequent emails, just the titles. Outlook is OK via the Firefox safe mode, via Chrome, via MS Edge and via MAIL.

I have cleared cookies and cache.  I have also tried About:config>extensions.webcompat.enable_shims changed to FALSE.  

A sidebar with web addresses disappeared too. I think I have been done in by an update. What setting am I missing? I am using Firefox 114 with Windows 10

COLORADO DEPT REVENUE URL does not work, it does work in EDGE

The Colorado Department of Revenue online URL IS:

    https://www.colorado.gov/revenueonline/_/
     ----------------------------------------------

Firefox does not like this URL value.

=====================================

The screen shows: "The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to www.colorado.gov.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

=====================================

I'm currently working on building a website, and while testing several of the front end parameters I'm just hitting a wall with firefox incognito's ability to clear the cache.

After I clear the cache, it's obvious that it's worked on the regular browser, but no matter how many times I clear it, how long I wait (this has been a 2 day ordeal), or how much of the history, cookies, cache, etc that I clear, the private browser information will not clear. Closing all windows, restarting the computer doesn't work.

I've changed aspects to a form and other aspects to a particular page, and am in the middle of doing a conflict test so every one of my plugins are off so the site looks 100% different on the main browser, but the private browser is stuck in the past.

Thoughts?

Hi, I am working on websocket with javascript and php. Let me share my code here:

index.php is:

The websocket is working all the browser except only firefox. It gives error: Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://cstechnologyindia.com/websocket1.

I am trying to solve it from past 2 days. I'm using a shared hosting. The hosting provider is saying that everything is perfect from our side. Now I'm hopeless. Please solve my problem anyone. Please check added image. Also I've valid https certificate. Please check attached image.

I am using Version 113.0.2 (64-bit) and trying to access a home camera system, mydlink.com. When I go to log in there, it tells me "You are using an unsupported browse.....We recommend you use Firefox 12-51/52 ESR on Windows" Can I get this version? What options do I have? Thanks, Ed Corcoran

What are the Operating Systems working Reload Matic ? How does Reload Matic work with the windows 11 ?

I've had nothing but problems with iCloud - usually it's text being unable to be displayed in Notes on iCloud.

Currently I can't login with my Yubikey:

This browser doesn’t support security keys Try another browser to sign in with your security key.

My password extension doesn't work in private window mode. When I look at the extension in Firefox, the mask shows next to it, indicating it should work in private mode. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Please please restore version 88 - this 89 version actually is painful to me visually - very harsh. I am not a techie - do not understand answers that try to change code. Just get rid of this horrible change - it's so bad I'm thinking of getting rid of Firefox
