Firefox crashes unexpectedly - EndeavourOS, i3-gaps Window Manager, Setzer Chromebook

Crash ID: a5891622-8863-4d5d-acc0-407f00221217

Firefox is crashing repeatedly and unexpectedly. This is a freshly installed version of EndeavourOS on a Setzer Chromebook. My window manager is i3-gaps. Before I re-installed EndeavourOS, Firefox also became frozen frequently. I have a swap partition of about 1.5GB, 4GB of RAM, and about 7GB of free space on my computer. Could it be my CPU usage or lack of storage space? All I've had open is Firefox.

Hello,

Whenever I open a document on Microsoft Word online, the formatting of tables is incomplete or missing. However, this is not the case with original documents. I've attached a screenshot of an example of the issue (the gray area should also have the lines like the rest of the table). Is there anything I can do?

Thanks! Taylor

The old profile was on a Windows 8 installation. I have a complete copy of the original C-drive. I want to recover the profile to my current Linux OS. Or, if not possible, to a Windows 10 OS. I'm mainly looking for my saved passwords.

(I have the same question about Chromium browser btw.)

First off, this may be a duplicate, I entered my data then went to alternate page to extract config file, returned, pasted info, and submitted. I then got block indicated required fields not filled, this field and the 2 above, so please forgive me if it is duplicated.

Problem: I have the top menu enabled, and also auto-hide my tab bar. The latest update 108.0 64 bit has caused my tab bar to slide up into the menu bar when 'hidden', basically mixing the 2. This even occurs with only a single tab open. Makes it tough to access menu items going around the tabs. Addons are Ad Blocker Plus, Privacy Badger, Disable HTML5 autoplay, Forecast Fox Fix, and Ugly Email.

I've been using Firefox for years, and I don't remember ever having a password, but it asked me for one when I set up a new Operating System. So it wanted my email addy, and I gave them the password for that addy. They wouldn't accept it. Then I created a new password, and now it shows too many dots for the password I created. I'm really confused now. Already they have sent me 8 different "Account Authorization Codes." I have no idea what is going on now, and I don't know if the password I created is the one that they now have because there is no "eye" to show me what they think that my password is. Like I said, they are showing too many dots, and there is no way for me to find out what they think my password is!

Firefox is suggesting usernames on multiple websites that I access regularly. However, I have the saved logins feature turned off in Firefox.

When I access Settings > Privacy & Security > Logins and Passwords - it shows all of these options turned off.

When I access Settings > Privacy & Security > Logins and Passwords > Saved Logins... - it indicates No Logins Found / No Synced Logins found.

I do have Firefox Sync turned on to sync between devices, but since it indicates "No Synced Logins" it doesn't appear this is coming from another device. I have checked multiple devices and found they all show "No Synced Logins"

Only happening in Firefox. I am not getting these suggested logins in Edge or Chrome.

Happening across all my Windows 10 and 11 devices that have Firefox sync enabled. 2 x Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (build 22621.819) 1 x Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (build 19045.2364)

Firefox 108.0 on all Windows devices, but it started before updating to 108.

I have not yet tried resetting Firefox - hoping to use that as a last resort.

Any suggestions on where else to look or what I should try?

I am mainly using firefox (108 at this time) in Linux Mint and I have sync setup with some others systems (even older linux distribs with icewease and windows). I have a lot of trouble with certain sites when my profile '~/.mozilla/firefox' is loaded and my sync account is connected or not. (seems to be related to javascript or similar - some wait circles never stop and nothing is displayed) I assume I have something corrupted in the profile. If move .mozilla/firefox profile and starts from scratch those websites are working good.

But I have a lot of bookmarks and does not want to restart from scratch. I already did that one year ago and it seems it when I restore sync when the problems arise.

Any idea?

Just upgraded to firefox 108 and it has broken just about everything. No tabs. No real toolbar. No back button. No switching from fullscreen to windowed. Nothing works properly. The hamburger menu and minimized are on the same button. One of the toolbars constantly switches from arrow to plus symbol creating havoc on my screen. Can't watch any video because of this. Running Manjaro Linux.

I have been using firefox for quite some time, and have bookmarks and addons saved to my account. I just recently had to restore windows on my PC, and in doing so, seemingly lost my whole profile. I also have firefox on iOS, and all of the bookmarks are saved there, apparently on the same account I am using to sign in on desktop. I have tried to force the desktop version to sync, but it says it has fully synced and none of my stuff is here still. Is there a way for me to import the profile from iOS or something?

How do I set a Custom URL fora new tab under: "Settings - Home - New Tabs and Windows"?

Under "Home Page and Windows", there is a "Custom URL" option, but NOT under "New Tab". There is NO "Custom URL" under the drop-down list, only "Firefox Home (Default)" or "Blank Page".

I want to be able to set the default URL Home page when opening a new "tab" (as well as when I create a new window. For example, when opening a new tab, I want to set the default Home page for the new tab to be Google.com.

I am running a PC with Windows 10 and the latest level of Firefox.
