Firefox Support Forum

Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

I am unable to log on to my Synology Diskstation 220+ using the Firefox browser. The device is accessed through my local IP address. I have no trouble using the Microsoft Edge browser. This problem has existed for several months and I cannot figure it out. On Firefox I have checked the ad blocker and disabled it. I tried clearing the cache. I would appreciate any ideas people could suggest. Thanks.

for some reason firefox decided it is fun to mess around with my browser and decided to prevent me from making saved logins,this is so frustrating why does firefox like to do this.

How can I search my History for websites I visited using Firefox b/t Feb. 8-16, 2022 (older than 6 months)? I'm trying desperately to retrace my steps on these days to resolve an issue at work.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions.

Thank you for any advice or assistance anyone can offer.

Firefox desktop is not showing bold. The mobile app works though. I do have the setting allowing sites to choose their own fonts enabled. The site in particular is a WordPress.org site and I am not going to go through each instance of and change it to a minimum of 800 weight. Any news on an update with regards to this problem?

Every time I work on the local environment a lot of my extensions go crazy on localhost, throwing enormous amount of errors. This makes console barely readable. Is there a way to disable messages thrown by extensions in the developer tools of Firefox Developer Edition?

Similar to this in Chrome with "Selected context only": https://superuser.com/a/1346827

Thanks.

Trying to bookmark a pdf, it's on the same location across my devices, but my devices have different usernames, so I added "%userprofile%" to the filepath so that it opens on any device. The issue is that when I enter this into the Bookmark URL bar, it automatically sticks "25" next to the % characters, which makes the bookmark unusable.

"C:\Users\%userprofile%\Documents\example.pdf" automatically becomes "file:///C:/Users/%25userprofile%25/Documents/example.pdf"

Also, as I just discovered now when I pasted this URL into this post, a second "25" is inserted, becoming: "file:///C:/Users/%2525userprofile%2525/Documents/example.pdf"

Firefox stopped opening links in web pages like secondlife:///app/region/Kings%20Stone/224/155/22 ,WHere do I tell Firefox what application to use to handle that kind of a link?

I just "refreshed" firefox after it stopped loading all the websites. I then tried to isolate the problem, found out that there is no issues with my firefox and any of its add ons. But as soon as I add Chrome folder and a css to enable multirow bookmarks folder. No website launches. Just white screen. Anyone experienced the same?

Please help as I really need multirow bookmarks. Thank you.

Problem with firefox, In order to load the next web site I have to close firefox and load it again. I have removed all apps and add on's and ran every malware, virus finder that i can find, help, very annoying

Just before protection against ads expired, the icon's "X" went black. Now that I've renewed, it has not changed the "X" on the shield to white indicating renewal.

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

I would suggest within the last month or so Firefox has started to hang in a way that everything continues to "work" but I cannot switch tabs and I cannot do anything else with Firefox until I kill it.

I can periodically reproduce this by: Randomly select and copy text on a website.

Behavior observed: You can no longer switch tabs, enter a new location, close tabs, or really interact with the browser at all even though it is not dead. Keyboard shortcuts do not work either.

Version: 107.0

In the security part of my Firefox account there is a password that is different from my account login password. I don't know it and don't remember entering it. Apparently it is very important if I have to reset my information. How can I fix this without loosing any data? Thank You
