Firefox Support Forum

Intermittently unable to open a new window/tab, the little dot just keeps flashing back and forth. If I get out of firefox and re load it is back to normal for a short period then goes back to the problem.

Firefox has seemed unstable for a few months now, but in the past weeks even more so. It crashes often, and has usually crashed when I come back to my desktop after a few hours or the weekend. Today it has crashed on me at least 10 times. It does not seem to relate to a particular website or activity. It is becoming so difficult to work with that I am going to have to go to Chrome or something else if it's not fixed. I saw on other similar complaints where you asked for crash reports, so am pasting some info below. Note that the first few from today don't start with bp and also will not "submit."

Firefox pretty regularly does updates (often after it has crashed), so it is not that I've got an old version or something.

I've noticed for some time now that when I access the history tab and see what there, there is nothing in it. In the past when I accessed it, it would show the sites I had visited. Not any longer. How do I fix the problem?

I have a constant problem with Chase.com - they are telling me it's Firefox, then it's because of the cookie blockers on FireFox. I have heard every excuse under the sun. I try to login, I get chase doesn't recognize device, then they send a one time code, which doesn't work, so I have to call them, they tell me it's Firefox causing the problem. I know that's a myth because the same thing happens on MS Edge. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you have any suggestions?

I am using build 100.0 Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.6. When I go to www.papajohns.com and try to login it goes nowhere. I tried looking up the problem, which was to go to Settings and allow cookies for that site and now I'm able to login. The additional problem I'm having is in the purchase page, I have put in all my information including credit card information. When I click place order, instead of completing the transaction, it takes me back to the same page I entered my payment information and never completes the transaction. I have tried it on my iPhone through Safari and I was able to login and complete the transaction. I would prefer to do this on my desktop computer running Firefox rather than my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, John

When I try to upload a file to a website it cancels after about 8-10% completed. I was able to upload the same file to the same website in Microsoft Edge without any issues. I checked my Firefox update history and I see that it updated to 100.00 yesterday 5/3/22.

scrolling via up/down keys do not work on half the webpages i vist. other browsers scroll just fine, but not firefox. i want to continue using firefox, but like many others i know, i will stop using firefox is this issue cannot be resolved.

assistance re this issue would be appreciate, thank you

Hi folks, I'm having trouble with importing old firefox stored passwords to new account. I got all the old data (logins.json, key3, key4,...)

I tried copying the logins.json and key3/key4.dbf file into the firebird profile root directory but they dont seem to load. It doesn't show anything no matter if I'm logged into a firebird account or not.

Since the old files are only a week old I'm guessing I shouldn't need to convert files.

When I convert logins.json file to csv I see the info is there.

What's the catch?

I'm using office365 mail and I cannot drag a file for mail attachment. This works fine in other browsers and I haven't been able to find a way to do it. I really need to do this for my work, so I'm starting to use another browser, which I didn't want to.

How can I change the color of my Bookmarks Bar? After Firefox did an update a few days ago, my Bookmarks Bar is now white instead of blue...the way it was before the update.

My Firefox has suddenly stopped working when websites have menus you need to scroll through on the right side. Example: websites where you are drilling down through filter options, or in Ancestry where you will typically open a record in the hints screen and scroll down through the detail. The right scroll navigation causes the whole page to scroll up and down; there's no way to navigate down in the sub-display. I have run FF in safe mode, and done a scorched-earth uninstall/reinstall and the problem persists even with no plug-ins restored. This is on a machine running Windows 11. The machine crashed right before this became a problem. Sites work in Edge without issue.

Have you considered/would you consider integrating Firefox's in-browser push notifications into the Windows 10/11 notifications system? I ask because the notification timeout is really fast if there are many notifications, it's impossible to properly read them all before they disappear and there's no obvious way to view notification history if at all. Also, if there are more notifications than what can fit in the available screen height you just don't see them. Additionally the Notifications are still white even when on a dark theme, this seems like something that should have been addressed a long time ago already.

Hi, yesterday I noticed a blue color in the menu bar tabs when I hover over them with a mouse. If I'm not mistaken, it used to be light gray before. How do I change it back?? It looks terrible and the tabs are barely readable when highlighted in blue. See the screenshot.

I use firefox since I go to college. When I got some problems, I try to check firefox use what to pick folder? I use Manjaro Plasma. I find chrominum use kdialog. But firefox looks not though both use gtk3 as UI

Firefox choose folder got wrong when use a USB HDD

For some reason my passwords went missing locally and when I went to sync them my account would not connect and the saved password was missing. So I went through the password reset process to sign into my sync account and when I resigned into it to sync, there was no passwords on the account.

Is there any backup performed by mozilla or any other way to get like a backup of the online account passwords somehow. My local logins.json files are corrupt so I cant use them.

This is extremely disappointing if they cant be retrieved.

When I turned on the machine today (Dell PC running W10) I had to sign in to Walmart to check on a delivery. I entered username and password and again pressed enter. I was given a new, blank set of entry spaces for username and password. I could not sign in. Every time after correctly making entries it would just cycle back to the beginning. This has never happened before, even once. Anything in Firefox 100 I need to disable to use it? There's no error message so no reason for a screenshot.
