As of a few days ago it seems that every time that I try to copy some text and then switch tabs Firefox will just completely lock up on me. This is happening on two different systems of mine.

To whom it may concern: I turned my rather old (like me) desktop computer on and got this big red blast of color. How do I change that ? PLEASE keep it simple. I'm having trouble learning new things.

2. I don't at present have a smart or dumb phone. Just a land line so I don't text. I just want to read my mail and watch an occasional how to on YouTube. I'm not a programmer. How do I cut back on some of the technology being forced on me ? Thanks,

Ray

OS: Windows 10 FF version: 106.0.1

This is a new pc, about a week or two old, and I've noticed on a couple of different pages that places that should show a button or a checkbox are showing the html label instead.

Booted up the old pc (running FF version 105.0.3) to double-check and all pages are displaying just fine over there.

I have sync turned on, so both browsers are running the exact same plugins. And I did try disabling all the plugins on the new one just in case, and it made no difference.

I have had access to the following website through Firefox for many years – no problem. Today, it comes up with the error message and reference indicated below. Nothing I do – cache clearing and the like, makes any difference. Denied access. No other website has been altered in this way. Any thoughts – is this down to you?

I am trying to view a website but the site thinks that I am spam. Mozilla keeps me logged in to the site but I don't want that to happen. And because it happens the site thinks I am spam. But in Private Mode it lets me view the site. How do I fix it in Mozilla so I can view the site without being locked out? I want to erase the auto log in for the site but it is not listed anywhere here on my PC/Mozilla. I tried to contact their admin but I do not get replies from them. I don't even want or need an account there at the site, it's only a forum. this is the site.. https://www.plantedtank.net/

Why has Firefox been updated three or more times a month? Is the software not reliable? or Is the software poorly written? or You don't care about your users? For security purposes, we have antiviruses, antispam, etc., software, and firewalls. This is a lousy situation for users like me because we have been asking to update all the time, and it's interfering with the browser settings that get resettled every time there is an update, and I have to set them up again, wasting my time on it. Why can you not do it monthly like Microsoft, and why you don't tell us what is the update for? I would appreciate your answer to it before I decide to switch to another browser. Best regards.

Luis Martinez Long time a Firefox user.

Hi Is there any way to synchronize in Firefox another account but not mine, a different user i.e. I would like from time to time sent a opened Tab to my wife so she could see/read something interesting, but she's got different created account in Firefox. I have my Firefox sync logged in on my laptop and smartphone with the same account but how to sent an opened tab to a different user/different account.

My email address is: abworldwide@icloud.com

I always use Firefox - last week opened Google Maps in Firefox- no problem - it worked fine - was in English - all good! This week - opened Google Maps - and all by itself there is an account of a person (not me) in Thai. I don't speak or understand Thai so I can't even try to get out of this persons account or eliminate it (not to mention - why is it there in the first place??? It just magically appeared???) By chance - I tried Google Maps in Safari (which I never use) - the account came up - NOT under this alien persons name - just regular Google Maps in English. I was able to utilize it - no problem.

This is extremely bizarre - I don't want to use Safari - but apparently Firefox has screwed up here (on it's own it has put this account into my machine - why?) - or possibly it's Google who screwed up which wouldn't be surprising. A person cannot contact Google - they are so arrogant they just have the attitude - we are Google - use our stuff - and the hell with you - nice!!! However - if Safari is just getting the regular Google Maps site - why is Firefox opening Google Maps in an alien account - like mentioned - I just went in like regularly and this alien account appeared.

I never use any of Googles services - I do have an OLD account there - but don’t even remember the user name or log-in. I don’t like their company - they are overbearing - dictatorial - and intrusive - so why bother with them. But no clue why this alien account would have been attached to my computer - not there one week - and then there the next out of the blue???

At any rate - is there any way to get rid of this alien account in my Firefox browser - I am not a computer wiz - but can follow instructions on how to do things easily. Maybe the Firefox cache needs to be cleared - I don’t know (?) - nor do I really know how to do that. Or why the cache would be storing information that shouldn’t be on my machine in the first place??? Thanks!

I just upgraded to the most recent Firefox. I list Firefox as my default browser. I cannot un-delete it. There use to be an options bar in my old Firefox that I could change this. However, it is no longer there. This is very frustrating.
