IT'S MAKING ME CRAZY - so bad that I've even tried MS Edge! Ewwww.... I read in the HELP files and online that I should be able to change the config to 1/1 after unchecking option to let Firefox control things in my settings. However, it does not pop up the change config box - and, I later read that it is not available any longer. This is killing me! Thank you for helping!

Hello!

A few hours ago I noticed that my Mozilla Firefox was jamming a bit, at least the window I was surfing the Web on.

That session had many windows open, and most of those windows had dozens of tabs in them.

So, since my PC had been on for several days and, as I mentioned, Mozilla Firefox was starting to acting up a bit, I decided to give it all a rest. I opened the Windows Task Manager and I voluntarily "crashed" Mozilla Firefox from there, then I shut down my PC and let it rest for two or three hours.

When I restarted my computer and I opened Mozilla Firefox, I was obviously asked if I wanted to pick up where I left. So, I restored the last session and all the windows I had open came up again... except the one I was working on when I decided to shut down my PC! It was the most important window, with HUNDREDS of critical tabs in it!

Why hasn't been restored along with the others?

Is there a way to make it appear again=

I'm flabbergasted, please, help me!

Thank you,

Amalia

1. When I fill in a username/password, there is about a 10 second delay after selecting the username before the password fills. Same issue with filling forms with address or credit card info. 2. If I tab into a selection box and arrow to the selection, things work as expected. If I pick the box with the pointer and select from the selection boxx offered, there is about a 10 second delay. 3. If I go to the firefox menu and select things like Help,Get Help or Tools,Settings, there is about a 10 second delay. 4. I'm using a screen reader program, Zoomtext, but have the same issue whether the program is enabled or disabled. 5. Windows 10 and Firefox is up to date. 6. I've been having this issue for more than a month, through several Firefox updates.

Any help would be appreciated.

I try to say "yes" but the computer doesn't accept the command. The computer shows that it is connected to the internet but I cannot go into my e-mail. Something in Firefox is being blocked. How can I unblock?

Follow the dialog at homelink.com to report an error with a garage door remote problem. Clicking on "Submit" gets a 404 error. I've had similar problems with other website dialogs, but usually the link is just ignored. For example rockler.com, when attempting to place an order - nothing happens. In both cases, switching to MS Edge works correctly.

When I try to download a file, the download always fails. This happens no matter what website I'm downloading the file from (see screenshot 1).

This started happening within the last week or so. We are running versions 97 and above.

Firefox is configured to always ask where to save files to (see screenshot 2).

Write permissions to the user's Downloads folder is denied for reasons unrelated to this issue (see screenshot 3). When I re-enable write permissions, the problem goes away.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Is write access to the Downloads folder required now, even if Firefox is not configured to save files to that location? Thanks!

Firefox Will Not Open Despite Trying Several Solutions (Windows 10)

I recently made the switch to Firefox. I attempted to use the version downloaded from the internet, which I already had installed for a long time, but it would not open. I then used the version available on the Microsoft Store, which worked fine. Eventually, Firefox crashed and would not reopen. A message saying something along the lines of "Are you sure you want to start Firefox in safe mode?" would appear for a split second, and then close. I tried:

-Starting Firefox in safe mode, but nothing happened. -Restarting my computer. -Reinstalling Firefox. -Running as administrator. -Checking it is not blocked by antivirus. -Using the profile manager to create a new profile: The .zip file version opens but does not help, and the version opened by using the "firefox.exe -P" command in Run suffers from the same problem as the browser and opens for only a split second. -Attempting to boot my computer in safe mode with networking, however, the Microsoft Store listed Firefox as uninstalled, and the network menu would not display any networks so I could not reinstall it. -Searching for any Comodo iseguard.dll files, but I found none.

The only thing that worked was searching "Mozilla" in files and deleting everything except what my computer said was part of the system. After that, I was able to open Firefox, but after a short amount of time, the problem started all over. I have no clue what to do and looking all over for solutions is driving me nuts! Please help!

Is there any to make Firefox automatically restart a new session (loading the start page) after a crash, without any prompts?

Context: This is for a disabled person who cannot use input devices: I start her computer every morning before going to work and load a long Youtube playlist of videos, so she doesn't have to do anything. But if Firefox crashes 5 minutes after I left, she cannot restart anything herself and has to wait until I come back.

Any ideas?
