Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

There is a common error documented in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding but none of the solutions fix my problem.

I have signed out of my PC and mobile devices Done a complete uninstall of firefox on the Windows 11 machine Searched and removed ALL files on the drive associated with Firefox or Mozilla, including cache and temp Searched and removed ALL Firefox or Mozilla keys in the registry Checkdisk Used update to refresh the windows install Multiple reboots

and a fresh download and install of Firefox. And still get the "already running" error. If I wait long enough - several minutes - I will get the "crash report" screen as the background process finally ends.

Any suggestions?

A few days ago my saved passwords all disappeared. I have been logging in manually and when I do Firefox asks if I want to save the password and I click yes. The password then shows up in the saved Passwords. But... in a day or so it disappears again. What's going on? I have not changed any settings.

I was using my computer normally until I noticed one of my applications had an error. I could not close the error message the normal way, so I decided it would be a good idea to hit the "end task" on the error message, which caused a blue screen error. "No worries," I thought, "I'll be able to get back to where I was right after my computer restarts." Oh, how wrong I was. Upon logging in to my computer, Firefox opened to... the screen I got when i first installed it? As it turns out, the Mozilla folder in my AppData folder was completely erased, along with all its contents. Is there a way to get my data back?

Can you help me out, please?

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

Could you please disable your browser's Firefox addons just for a minute, make a post and see if you are still seeing that message?

How do I disable the Firefox browser's addons?

Hi everyone, I just set nice custom colors for the websites. Problem is, not every website looks good then, on some it gets messy. Is there and option somewhere to toggle it off, for particular websites, while still keeping the setting on for the rest of the internet?

All of my bookmarks disappeared. I have followed all the step to restore from the profile folder and to restore manually. It works to a point, then I get an error message saying Firefox is unable to process the backup file (see attached image). I even tried it in Troubleshooting mode.

I designed a label in Avery, downloaded as a PDF and told my download to always open in Adobe Acrobat Reader. When I try to open the download I'm told that Reader can't pen because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. How can I change the program that opens my downloads? I'm using latest Firefox on a Windows computer.

I am at my wit's end with this. checked every single post on every website but nothing works. anything larger than 30 megabytes always fails in the middle and I have to keep resuming it. It also keeps giving me the same error message "Downloads\example.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator." I have tried safe mode. I tried changing the download location, it still tells me that the .part file in the Downloads folder can't be read. This .part problem started recently after a firefox update for me. But the downloads getting cancelled for no apparent reason has been a forever problem. Is switching back to Chrome the only real solution? (I've been told this)
