I am having trouble running Firefox 68.2.0 on a fresh install of CentOS 7.7.1908. This happens whether or not a .mozilla/ directory exists. The problem happens when I invoke Firefox from the command line with or without the "-safe-mode" switch. No Firefox window come up.
Here's what the process listing looks like:
[cgr@mypc ~]$ ps -ef | grep firefox | grep -v grep cgr 14109 12544 0 13:04 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox cgr 14118 14109 0 13:04 pts/2 00:00:00 [firefox] <defunct> [cgr@mypc ~]$ kill -KILL 14109 [cgr@mypc ~]$ ps -ef | grep firefox | grep -v grep [cgr@mypc ~]$
[cgr@mypc ~]$ ps -ef | grep firefox | grep -v grep cgr 14434 12544 0 13:29 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox -safe-mode cgr 14444 14434 0 13:29 pts/2 00:00:00 [firefox] <defunct> [cgr@mypc ~]$ kill -KILL 14434 [cgr@mypc ~]$
[cgr@mypc ~]$ ps -ef | grep firefox | grep -v grep cgr 14465 12544 1 13:30 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox -ProfileManager [cgr@mypc ~]$ kill -KILL 14465 [cgr@mypc ~]$ ps -ef | grep firefox | grep -v grep [cgr@mypc ~]$
I must use the -KILL switch to kill the program.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem>?
Thanks, cgr

I'm looking for CSS Coverage in Firefox (Like it is in Google Chrome). I saw a YouTube video from a couple of years ago and there was a way to use CSS coverage at that time, but it looks like Firefox removed it... YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrzf1lsBMMw
Mozilla says "This feature is experimental and is not yet available in Firefox", but I hope there is an option to use it in Developer Edition. (maybe we can activate it in about:config ?) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/CSS_Coverage

In firefox fullscreen, movign the mouse to the top edge, shows the toolbars. I really like this feature, BUT when the toolbars show they push the whole page down, giving a very jarring effect as the whole page jumps down.
Is it possible that the whole doesn't jump when the toolbars show ? The toolbar could just cover the top of the page and go back into hiding as they do.
Would an extension be able to fix this ?

How do I go into Gmail and edit/add/delete email addresses??? A couple months ago I read online how to do it since there is no icon or anything on the Gmail "Inbox" page any more to allow for additions/corrections. ONline I found a way to do that. I try now and the 'fix' that is offered online is to be sure you have downloaded the current Firefox version, which I just did. (65.0.2) Following online directions of clicking on Gmail in top left hand corner, nothing happens! Clicking on Gmail logo does nothing either! This should NOT be this different to make changes to people's email addresses/groups. I closed out of Firefox and reopened browser and that did nothing either.
Please help!
Thanks, dcseguin

when ever I switch from one user to another user, when I come back to the first user Firefox won't let me change Tabs or switch to other open pages. Which can only be solved by quitting Firefox. I can reproduce this behaviour every time. In some instances it is showing the beach ball and has to be 'Force quit'. I can't reproduce this it seems random.

If anyone would like to help a novice - WIN7: I just refreshed FF after attempting to remove malware. (I did NOT perform"system restore") But now (of course), there's even more adware, including very common one that I've encountered previously ("Adpoint"?). (1) Is it possible that the refresh allowed new adware, or? (2) Can anyone point me in the right direction to again attempt to manually delete adware? (I have Malwarebytes, but clearly it has failed to prevent and/or eliminate various adware I'm plagued with) (This attempt to delete adware was a dismal failure because I've obviously allowed new adware; I've done others in the past with the same, or partially-successful results...) Thank you to any kind soul who can render constructive aid!

I've read other posts seemingly related to this and starting in safe mode and blah, blah. This has to be simple. Step one, what? the menu at the extreme right of the page that looks like an equal sign but with 3 bars? (Options, settings, sync, etc). Then what? This is a setting related to adobe and apparently its flash player, but what to do about it is extremely unclear. Background: Attempting to watch streamed content at major media outlet website, nothing abnormal, not gaming, etc. etc. Anecdotally, this worked before, but I can't prove it. This works just fine in IExplorer except for all its slowness and buffering----meaning, once asking to view live content, once finding and clicking at website on the users cable or satellite provider, the above error does not occur and the next screen one is directed to is that requesting user and password for your cable or satellite account. Once entering that data, poof, up pops the live content. So, bottom line, this isn't adobe (because it 'works' with IE), this isn't the device (because it 'works' via other method), this is a setting somewhere in Mozilla. Please advise.

Firefox developers should call out CyberArk for inept programming practices, in that their developers seem to have simply not taken the time to add proper coding to their web-based service to determine the type of web browser and do a proper redirect!
Also, since CyberArk released a recent update, the CyberArk clipboard add-on now doesn't work properly. I know that this is not something for Mozilla to correct, but Mozilla should lean on large companies that do irresponsible things which disable Firefox functionality and then just tell customers to use Chrome instead.
Sincerely, A happy, long-time Firefox user

Logging in at a hotel, I tried to use Google Chrome. Hotels redirect, and can disrupt browser history. Chrome came on the computer, and usually can keep those disruptions out of my actual work area. But this?!?!
Firefox is my default browser. Despite having Chrome open, it opened Firefox automatically. (By "it", I mean a Dell PC.) Everything hung! By the time I was logged on, my previous work session, 30 or so tabs in 2 windows, was gone. Also gone: Various add ons like Ad Blocker & NoScript. All the add-ons in fact - every last one. I keep a google search slot open on top. (Is that the tookbar?) Anyhow even that disappeared. No telling what else will turn up missing and changed when I dig around in the settings.
Damn!!!

I tried all the support answers, about:config, autoplay default set to 0, 1, 2, set all the media autoplay options to prevent videos from autoplaying, to no avail. Nothing works! I love firefox but autoplay videos are very annoying. I hope you are able to provide a solution for me. I read it will be in options soon but I have little faith anything will work since I've tried every suggestion.

Firefox is my preferred browser for many years, but has become almost worthess because it is soooooooooooooooooo incredibly slow. I have tried every suggestion I've found online. Note to Mozilla: constant refrain of "Try opening in Safe Mode" grows old after the first 300,000 times, especially when it's no help. Web pages take forever to load, frequently hang. When I use Chrome, web pages open lickety split, from which I assume the problem is not my computer. I'm pretty desperate. Would love to solve this problem - along the rest of the North American continent - before abandoning FF/Quantum, because I like it so much otherwise. Thanks for reading.
