Firefox Support Forum

Please assist with daily 5x screen out blackout crashes

It appears some source ---Google chrome---- is remotely crashing the site

restoration usually requires restoring wired power. plug cable back into wall socket

Maybe you can confirm my assessment, should I proceed with Google security features, remove my cell listed as a 2 factor notification tool

Google notification to my cell phone asks. Your device is in use, is it you. press this key. sometimes the browser is immediately restored. Frequently there is a delay. All laptop operations are now routinely interrupted by screen blackouts when power is 80-100%

Trying to view a video in Medscape. See attached screen shot. The message is "Source Not Supported".

RDL

Firefox is asking for a password but I dont have one, (using a 2012 imac). I'm locked out of using my computer. Started 3 days ago and I entered 3 false passwords which opened a window allowing me to quit but now it doesnt matter how many false passwords I enter it wont allow me to access my computer.

I am running Apple OS High Sierra, 10.13.6 on an older iMac Mid 2011. My Preferences have always been set, or checked, General_Tabs "Open links in Tabs instead of NEW Window."

The result is a Firefox screen full of Single Windows with Single Tabs. Some Windows I may continue to add Tabs to but most of the time I copy the link from the NEW Window and paste the link on the older Window. If I am in a hurry the result will be many many Opened NEW Windows with one or two NEW Tabs. See attachments. This has been going on for at least 6 months now.

Note your checkbox titled "Email me when someone answers the thread" does not work but please email me at "[email removed from public]".

Thanks in advance!

stupidly I downgraded to an earlier version as the latest version appeared not to easily change for one website to another. in the process I lost all my Bookmarks .Now I am on latest version without my bookmarks. How do I recover them ?

need a new mail account immediately. Zohomail in India blocked my account. Cannot even communicate with them since account is frozen but seems to allow incoming emails.. Can get incoming just no outgoing. Love Firefox..been on it for years. Medical heart failure condition requires a working email account at once. Can you help ?

Hi, I have an old mid 2011 iMac running on OS High Sierra 10.13.6. I have updated to the latest version, I restarted my computer, and Firefox crashes suddenly at least a couple of times a week, if not more. Is this a problem that can be fixed or is this just going to be the status quo now?

Thanks for any help or suggestions that may help. Mz. C

"delete cookies and site data when firefox is closed" now gets checked against my will. i'm not checking it and have never had it set to do that. this is wasting tons of time for me, resetting my shortcuts and signing in to sites that are a pain in the ass to sign in to (specifically bandcamp). other settings get changed also, but not all of them, and my personal info remains. but a lot of time is also wasted correcting all the settings that have changed behind my back. this started happening within the past week. i've changed nothing.

it's not when i turn my computer off. i had to reset everything 2 days ago, but when i got home yesterday and turned my computer on it was working properly - settings intact. i used it for several hours, went to bed, turning the internet off, as i always do, and leaving pine player on. (it's not pine player causing the problem. i wasn't using it the other times) the computer never went into sleep mode, as per my settings... but after turning the internet back on this morning and opening firefox my settings are changed again.

any ideas? Thanks if you try to help

bold textI have locked myself out and cannot receive e-mails. Forgotmy password. Do not want to lose any bookmarks, etc. Made a mess already. Afraid to go further in trying to solve this myself. I think i did something while exploring Settings for the first time.

Unable to login to Medicare account - Medicare Plan Finder

Keep getting: "We can't process your request at this time."

Have been getting this error message for many days now, even in troubleshooting mode with all extensions disabled.

Bug?

However can login to my Medicare account directly with Brave browser without any issue. Seems to suggest some fundamental problem/incompatibility with Firefox (102.4esr)

Note, have tried everything that would appear to apply from this reply to same question : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1393619

+ would think that starting in troubleshooting mode with all extensions disabled suggests some fundamental incompatibility/bug.

For the past few months every restart of Firefox disables LastPass. I did NOT have this problem previously. The version of LastPass is current (no updates found). I can go to Add-ons and the toggle is set to "on" but the icon in the menu bar is black. If I click the toggle off, then back on, LastPass comes on just fine. Why is Firefox disabling something that Add-ons says is loaded? VERY strange. Does NOT happen in Chrome. Thanks for any assistance. PITB!!!

Can't open eBay links via Firefox i.e., "contact seller", "view other items", "visit store". Google Chrome works. Have disabled enhanced tracking on eBay in Firefox. I'm very frustrated. It's been happening for a couple months.
