I'm fairly new at this game of 'digital talking', so: I just paid for a 2yr subscription but do not see any visual evidence that this is indeed the case. How do I know I'm currently protected, isn't there an icon supposed to be on the monitor?

In the network tab, I can see all the html, css, and js loaded on my page.

When I click on Start performance analysis (stopwatch icon in bottom left), it shows pie charts of the asset sizes, but CSS is missing.

When I click the back button, the network tab only shows 14 items, and no CSS.

I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint, installed through the software manager.

Pressing back a lot to start page creates empty files in Downloads

When I visit some pages and I usually press the back button fast on my mouse to get back to the start page in Firefox. And that creates a empty html file in my downloads folder with a random name.

The only extension I have is ColorZilla.

And I have 2 plugins:

  • OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.
  • Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc.

I'm using Firefox 122.0 on Windows, and it's been like this for as long as I remember, so at least a year. I never fiddle with anything in the browser so everything is like default installation besides the plugins and extension.

It usually happens when I'm on an ad heavy site and then spam the back button fast to get to the start page, and that's when that download popup shows some random file generated in Downloads. I can't recreate the issue now when trying, but it usually happens now and then.

I don't have any ad blockers, but I suspect that it might have to do with some ad not finished loading or something like that.

I'll attach a picture of my downloads folder. I usually just browse the web for like 2-4 hours a day, so you see it created quite a few files for one day.

Add-ons in Firefox on Windows 11

I'm a recent reluctant user of Windows 11. I can't get Firefox configured the way I like it on the new Windows 11 machine. Every single time I try to find an extension, I get a message "Gah. Your tab just crashed." I've tried the Restore This Tab option to no avail.

I uninstalled Fx, downloaded a fresh copy (using Edge, ugh) and installed it. I get the same result.

I had Fx running on the Win 11 machine, before I foolishly accepted an upgrade that took me to Win 11. I suspect that there might be a corrupted Profile or other vestige of that Firefox installation that is causing problems. (Or, because I used Edge to download MSofat hacked me.)

Can someone please tell me how to find and remove all vestiges of Firefox? I want to get back to a fresh slate and try again.

I'm posting this from my old and slowly dying HP laptop running Windows 10. Fx runs here, but the system is slower than Christmas to a 9-yo.

TIA

I had set Google to be my default search engine. But that seems to have been replaced by yahoo! [I have tried to put a screen shot here but Firefox won't let me] I searched for Google in the search box which put the following in the url.

In Settings>Search, there is no Yahoo. Presumably it has hacked my computer. How can I get rid of it? I am running Windows Defender (3 1/2 hours to go) and I have Reset Firefox. Win11, 64 bit, latest Firefox

I am trying to log onto the PGATour.com website and after entering my proper credentials the [Sign In] button doesn't work in Firefox, although the [Sign Up] button works as does the Forget Password and "Show" password links work. Everything works fine in both Chrome and Vivaldi.

This just started within the past month or so. I'm exhausted with today's software because every update breaks something else. Sigh...

Firefox has been white-screen blocking my access to some common websites including CNN, Amazon and possibly others. No error messages, just a blank white screen. This is a sudden change and has never been a problem in the past. Chrome and Firefox on my other computers are not affected. I have cleared caches and deleted all tabs with no change in symptom. I've also checked CPU and memory resources and both appear normal. No sites are being blocked by settings either, though I would expect Firefox to give me a "This site is blocked" message of some kind if that were the case. How do I fix this?

Not sure how to explain this without the images... But I opened up YouTube just looking for some videos and uhhhhhh. I checked on other things in my computer to see if it's just my GPU or some weird graphic thing, but everything that isn't firefox seems to be working OK. It's not that terrible, I'm just really confused.

Why is this happening? And can I fix it? Started like... two minutes ago.
