On the new tab page I have set for 4 rows of shortcuts. In the fourth row I have 3 open spaces for tiles/shortcuts. There is no way to add the tiles whereas there was previously a tile that would show that said "+add shortcut". Given I have room in the row to add 3 shortcuts, how do I add tiles to allow for added shortcuts?

I face an issue with the browser crashing when in google meeting (meet.google.com). The problem persist in a new profile created with 'firefox.exe -P' and also in the troubleshooting mode. The crash is triggered when I am in the google meeting (with allowed microphone) and I manipulate with windows of the browser - across multiple monitors (switching tabs, moving tabs between windows, closing firefox windows, opening them, "dropping" the tabs onto another applications - chrome, spotify - which opens a new firefox window). Sometime the crash happened once I closed the google meeting tab. Unfortunately it happens "randomly" and I was not able to come with a specific series of steps to reproduce the crash. But it happens always when I am in the meeting and play with the windows for a while.

The crash: Firefox freezes for a few seconds (~3s) and then closes itself - all windows. %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\pending contains a new .dmp file, but it has 0 bytes and no .extra file is created, hence it cannot be submitted via about:crashes. The crash reporter is not opened when firefox crashes. The attached troubleshooting information are from the new clear profile where the crash happens as well.

Which file to bypass in Iolo System Mechanic to avoid loss of bookmarks

Just found that using Iolo System Mechanic to clean up my desktop is constantly causing the loss of my bookmarks and possibly my passwords. I have tried to specify which file(s) to ignore in System Mechanic to avoid this issue, but it is not allowing me to specify the files in my Appdata folders that I suspect it is clobbering. Has anyone been successful with this? I am getting tired of restoring my bookmark files every time I use the program. My wife's computer is having the same issue, and even worse in that she has also had her entire bookmark backup files wiped clean, which required her to re-enter all of her bookmarks manually. The folks at Iolo want me to pay for support before I can get any help from them.

Hello,

I have just setup a new desktop computer which has the latest versions of Firefox and AVG Free.

Firefox is not working properly, sometimes not completely loading pages, images or is not loading pages at all.

If I disable the AVG Web Shield Setting “Enable QUIC/HTTP3 scanning” then Firefox behaves normally.

The build of AVG Free is 26.3.10886.974 and the version of Firefox is 149.0.2.

Regards,

I am experiencing significant stability issues with Firefox. When I use YouTube, the entire browser frequently hangs (becomes unresponsive) and eventually crashes. This does not happen on all websites, but it is consistent when playing video content on YouTube.

  • Symptoms: The browser "stacks" or freezes completely; I cannot click tabs or menus until the browser finally closes/crashes.
  • Extensions: I am currently using extensions like SponsorBlock, uBlock origin. I am unsure if this is the cause, but the issue persists during video playback.
  • Hardware: I am running this on a laptop with an 16gb 4800mhz RAM, i7 12th Gen processor and an RTX 3070 GPU.


  1. Is there a known compatibility issue between current Firefox builds and SponsorBlock or similar video-modifying extensions?
  1. Could this be related to hardware acceleration settings with my NVIDIA GPU?
  1. What steps should I take to provide crash logs to help identify the root cause?

I just lost my bookmarks again, it happened a month or so ago as well. Appears to have been due to updates.

I have already followed the recommended ideas of navigating to restore, but there is no date given to restore to.

Just "choose a file comes" up, and that appears to lead nowhere.

I also went about:profiles , and all that was there was the current "cannot be deleted " profile and the option to make a new one, I tried that, it did not restore bookmarks. I need some of tose bookmarks quite badly this time

What more can I do ?

I updated my tablet to a Surface Pro 12 running Windows 11. I installed Firefox on my Surface Pro but I've noticed that all the websites I visit, that the page is outside of my viewing area. I've tried to find a way to fill the webpage to fit within my screen size without luck. I always need to scroll to the right to view the extra content. Is there a method to view the webpage within my screen size..?

I've use Firefox vpn for some time now. Suddenly any attempt to access a website, including the lovely link to my kindle book suggested by Firefox results in this: Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem. message. Firefox is blocking me with no way around??? Regular firefox now just doesn't download! I want to congratulate your implementation of a security nightmare with zero testing. Please tell you product development and marketing folks that they won't have to worry our reading and acting on any of your advertisements!
