I have been using Mozilla Firefox browser since 2008 but today I came to know that mozilla does not care about its user. Recently, adware attack on my PC which automatically install plugin in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer
Plugin name CutThePrice which keep generating advertise while surfing. Thank God I found Adware removal tool which is developed by https://toolslib.net/
After scanning a report has been generated this tool has remove CutThePrice plugin from my Firefox and everything is working fine.
I have complain with Mozilla for Firefox browser how could you allow unwanted plugin to automatically get installed on the browser. I don't care about Chrome and Internet Explorer as they are most vulnerable browser crash always whenever I play youtube video or play flash online game. But, I have trust on Firefox since firefox does not consume that much RAM as google update in the background keep using PC memory and this security concern is the biggest drawback for using FireFox
It is the responsibility of developer of Firefox browser to don't allow plugin automatically get install if the plugin does not have publishing certificate or plugin unauthorized.
Please fix it so that at least people could save their life !

The multiple folders, single or double digit hex address folder names, are under a ////Profiles/{random characters}.default folder name. Clearing the cache did not remove. Can they safely be removed manually by removing that xyz123.default user folder?

I can access my own website from Internet Explorer, and from Google Chrome, but not from Firefox. I keep getting a message in the lower left that says "waiting for ....." and it lists various and assundry websites that have nothing to do with me... such as "african-ancestries.com" or "administrator.gdansk.pl..." . Spent 3 hours with my computer support service trying to figure this out and they finally comcluded it is a Firefox issue - "go ask them". lol. This issue is occurring on both my laptop and my desktop computers, which are located in 2 different offices with 2 different servers.

Hello,
I work in Tech Support, for a company called Xpres in the UK. On our Tech Support 'site, when typing, the backspace button doesn't work 99% of the time. This only ever happens in Firefox - all other browsers work without issue.
It is as though the cursor is disappearing during typing, even though text is still displayed when typing.
The issue is in an application called 'OSTicket' - nothing else, so i shall contact them also.
If you could help in any way, that would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Whenever Firefox updates on my Mac, Firefox won't shut down, and (as a result) I can't shut down my Mac. A 'Force Quit" doesn't do anything. My only option is to hold the power button down on my Mac for 10 seconds to 'force' a hard shutdown.
After reboot, Firefox works normally (closing Firefox works correctly).

When I try to view a pdf file that is attached to an email it opens a poor copy with word online, that can't be printed.
When I try and download the pdf file from the email attachment a dialog box ALWAYS pops up asking "what to do with this file?" The dialog already has my default reader selected and the "do this automatically for files like this from now on" box is checked.
Every time I try and download the dialog comes up.

I work for a company with over 5oo computers all working in Firefox. Firefox wants to update all of the time, or at least it asks if we’d like to update. However we need our version of Firefox to not update on its own, and furthermore we need the pop-ups to quit asking if we want to update. I know that I can go into the settings on my browser and select “Never check for updates”, which I’m assuming would prevent the automatic updates and the pop-up asking me if I want to update. What I need to know is is there a way I can login to all 500+ computers all remotely, all at once, and preferably through a server, in order to change the setting in all browsers? I should mention that only four employees have administrator login privileges to change settings and run programs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I received a message stating that " Total Browser Security could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled." Total Browser Security is made by Mozilla which makes Firefox!!! So Why in the heck could it NOT BE VERIFIED for use in FIREFOX?
So I would like to Delete it/Remove it from my list of "Extensions". however I have tried to remove it following all of the suggested methods, but have been unsuccessful. Is there a way to actually remove it?
Also, would the Total Browser Security disabled keep causing the Adobe Flash Plug-in to crash, and cause all of my web browsers to freeze and crash and then cause my computer to freeze? Or could that just be due to my computer being 9 years old?
I plan on building a new computer either later this year or early next year, whenever I get the money. I am trying to make this computer last.

I am regularly getting a blue screen shut down and the error "bad pool caller". The common thread I can tell is it happens when Firefox is running. I am going to use a different browser for a few days to confirm. Also seems to have started occurring after moving to Windows 10. Would having a older video card be a contributing cause? If there are any suggestions or questions please let me know. Thanks Gus50310
