I would like to support Modzilla but I am not comfortable with sharing financial information online unless there is no other possible option. Why ? Because (bottom line) the financial consequences of any breach fall squarely and fully on my shoulders - not Modzilla's or Microsoft's or Apple's etc. etc. For me, the consequences of a breach far out weigh the short term convenience of online payment as a supporter or purchaser. (I also used to work in the computing industry, so I'm really not a total Luddite . . . although it might be easy enough to dismiss my concerns as such.)
It would be great if there was a publicly visible (published) option that would enable people to contact Modzilla directly by phone to make a donation. Thanks ! . . Food for thought maybe.

I was looking for a list of ad ons that I got in Firefox and I tried to look into DEBUGING to see what it represents and I am shockjed to see so many "owrkers" and most of them are "listening for fetch events" have START button and an UNREGISTER link. What are those? Are they safe? Is it safe to unregister from all or some of these? The only one RUNNING (green) as opposed to STOPPED (grey) is Youtube, which also has PUSH and DEBUG buttons and I got no idea what PUSH functionality is and I never learned i n over 20 years what DEBUG is as once debug opens it seems like an alien world for me or ids it only for advanced computer geeks:

Hello, I am using a c# program to send Firefox some commands.Everything works great, but sometimes when I send a -new-tab command like: "firefox.exe -new-tab http://www.google.com"
Firefox freezes for few seconds before opening the new tab.I tried removing all the parameters from the command and just send "http://www.google.com" to the system while Firefox is set as the default browser, and the same problem arises again.
I also tried doing the same while Firefox is in safe-mode and still the problem appears sometimes. How can I troubleshoot this and know what makes firefox freeze for those few seconds?.
Thanks in advance
when I signed up to sync my firefox, the verification link was empty in the browser when I clicked on it
I have emailed myself the verification link a number of times but it is still an empty link in the address line

Apparently, crashing YouTube is no longer compatible with Windows 8. Today I had to restart my computer five times because YouTube freezing and crashing managed to break my entire desktop. This only happens with Firefox. Also, YouTube is much slower to load on Firefox, which will most likely make Windows 8 crash more often.

When I updated to version 42 something happened during the upgrade. The activity icon keeps circling and my staus-4-ever add-on bar remains on and wont go away. When I try to check for updates in options it does not show the update to version 42 but when I go into help about Firefox shows I have version 42. I tried restarting my computer and it still shows the download icon circling etc. T the shut down the computer and powered it back up with the same results. I refreshed Firefox and that didn't help either. any suggestions?

Today I got a new type of fake urgent update. Normally what happens when I get one is that it hijacks the page I'm on and puts up what looks like a red firefox page with URGENT UPDATE scrawled across it, and a box opens wanting me to download the "update" aka malware or whatever malicious software it might me. Today what happened is that the "update" download box appeared wanting me to click on it, no I did not get a screen shot of it, but it was without the Urgent Update page. Later when I went close the tab it asked if I wanted to close 2 tabs, it was only then that I noticed 2 tabs were open, the second was the Urgent Update fake Mozilla page. This was the address of the page that had opened eufeehostingdude.net . I tried googling the name and nothing came up. The only time I get these is when I click on pages on FB, usually they try and piggy back in on apps, but today it was a legitimate news page.

Details: Windows 8, Firefox 59.0.3 (64-bit) target from about:buildconfig = x86_64-pc-mingw32 One of the add-ons was preventing me from using the context-menu "Save Target As..." I have been using the same Add-Ons for some time without issue, but I must had made a change that cause the problem, because when I disabled all the Add-ons the functionality returned. In my haste I wanted to try the Refresh Firefox to get back to square-one, but now my concern is effecting the state of the other Firefox Quantum installations I have linked through Sync. Before I did the disabling of the Add-Ons, I disconnected from Sync (thinking ahead of this possibility). I have worked very hard customizing the setting and I am happy with the set-up; I do not want to lose all of that effort configuring Firefox to my liking, so how can I make sure that re-establishing Sync is not going to change the configuration on other machines. What is the proper order-of-operation for making sure that I can get back to where I want to be? I did copy the 'pref' files a few days ago, just in case. What copy operations can I perform on the other machine to backup EVERYTHING related to Firefox and my config to rollback, I necessary. Add-ons I use (all latest versions): CanvasBlocker Clear Flash Cookies Custom UserAgent String Decentraleyes Disconnect HTTPS Everywhere Link Cleaner NoScript Passphrase Generator Privacy Badger uBlock Origin uMatrix User-Agent Switcher

This problem has been occurring for the past 2 weeks every time I use Firefox on each of the 2 PCs I use everyday. The problem may occur a few minutes after starting Firefox or it may be hours of continuous use before the connection is lost. It doesn't matter if I'm running Firefox by itself or have background apps running, but definitely requires Firefox to be running before I see a problem.
Configuration: WIN 8.1 and VISTA 64; both with latest updates. LAN: cable modem and Belkin wireless router; both with latest firmware. Firefox v37.0.1 with no add-ins or add-ons. Start page is "blank".
Symptoms: Windows status bar shows I am disconnected from the router. Router and modem status LEDs show I am connected to the internet. Same for the WIN network status app. It shows no router connection.
The problem can be temporarily fixed by power cycling the router. Or, by just waiting a random period of time the connection may (or may not) be reestablished on its own.
I also use a standalone PC application that streams text data in short bursts and runs all day (no video or music... just short lines of text) with no problems until I start Firefox in the background. Then it may go a few hours before the connection to the router is lost. I also frequently watch videos on my tablet with no problems from the router. While typing in this question on a PC I was disconnected from my router. I'm hoping to get some suggestions as to what to inspect or change. Thanks!

The inspect element tool of Firefox browser (version) is not showing the <pre> tag and it's contents on YouTube pages. The pre tag I am referring to is as follows (screenshot taken on torch browser): (Red arrow indicates pre tag, blue arrow indicates script tag common to firefox and torch) It is the child of body tag. The inspect element for the same page on firefox looks like this: As we can see there is not pre tag. I 'googled' the problem but did not find results that explicitly explained the matter. I also checked this on Firefox developer latest version and Firefox beta latest version but the YouTube pre tag is not appearing in any of these. Why is it not appearing in Firefox's inspect element if it is appearing in chrome's inspect element? Is it a bug? If not then where else can I find the contents of that pre tag in Firefox's inspect element? Thanks a lot.
