Setting Firefox to run as admin through compatibility settings causes what seems like infinite prompts to run as admin, and basically never opens. The only solution I have to being able to open Firefox as admin is to do it manually, whereas before I haven't had this problem to the same degree. Occasionally before this infinite series of prompts, it would sometimes prompt me 3 times before opening Firefox as admin while having "Run as Admin" enabled under compatibility settings.
Not sure why this is happening, or why it's getting worse, reinstalling did not fix this issue either. So whatever is happening, I thought I'd just report it here to see if anyone else is experiencing something similar to this.

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox about ten times, to stop ift from crashing my Mac on Catalina. It sort of works, but I keep getting error messages in the Browser Console. Latest, while trying to access my City Council website, is "Favicon at "http://www.tshwane.gov.za/favicon.ico" failed to load: Not Found." It seems to couse a hiccup, then runs on. I also get 'TypeError: aBrowser is null' which seems to be a "x" is (not) "y" error, but I have no idea what that is or how to fix it.
Any suggestions?

I'm on Fedora 31. Firefox was recently upgraded to 71.0 and I find a weird pattern in trying to open links from applications - possibly related to Slack:
If firefox was initially opened following a link from Slack, I can open other links from Slack, but trying to follow links from other applications (IBM Lotus Notes, or running "firefox URL" from a terminal window) fails with a "Firefox is already running" message.
If I open firefox from the desktop applications menu, the reverse happens. I can open links from Notes and a terminal, but following links from Slack fails.
I tried reinstalling firefox and slack with no success. Today I tried going back to an earlier version - firefox-70.0.1-4.fc30.x86_64.rpm - and everything seems to be okay.
It seems like something changed in firefox 71 that doesn't play well with Slack.

Hi,
Since the latest release 71 some of my passwords are not showing in the password manager.
They are also not entering in the websites correctly, this is perhaps that when I view the saved logins and show passwords the passwords are displayed as xxxxxxxx
This has happened on 1 pc's running windows 10.
How do I get my passwords back please?

Ever since i installed a PCI-E slot wifi card my system was freezing but after uninstalling firefox and using chrome there have been 0 crashes.
It usually happens when watching a Video (Youtube/Twitch).
Disabling hardware acceleration decreases crash in Firefox but it still crashes some time.
Basically what happens is the computer freezes, the audio keeps playing for while until i press crtl alt delete and then it all freezes up.
There seems to be a conflict between Firefox Version, latest nvidia drivers + the wifi drivers (Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I)
Everything was updated to lastest drivers, including Bios, Motherboard, Graphics, and Wifi, Firefox version.
Event viewer message before crash says:
The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\Video3 0c83(1780) 00000000 00000000
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table
My computer specs:
MSI geforce gtx 770 graphics card. Evga Supernova 750w G2 gold power supply Asus PRIME B450-PLUS AMD Ryzen 2700x Vulcan T-Force 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 Samsung Evo 850 SSD +1 extra ssd, +1 hdd, +1 usb drive. 1 monitor, 1 screen/pen tablet. Windows 10, 64 bit.
Any input as I would like to keep using FireFox in the future.
Thanks.
Firefox won't start, can't work out why

Having some trouble with Firefox and I'm at my wits end on how to fix it. Clicking the Firefox icon in Windows 10 (whether that's in the Start menu, the taskbar or the app itself in Program Files) won't launch Firefox. The blue loading spinner appears briefly next to the pointer, then disappears. Sometimes a Firefox process appears in Task Manager then instantly disappears, but sometimes it doesn't. Here's what I've tried so far:
- Restarting - Reinstalling - Deleting my Firefox profile and all Firefox app files - Launching in safe mode by holding shift - Launching in safe mode by adding the "-safe-mode" comment - Running as administrator - Checking it's not being blocked by antivirus - Loading the Firefox profile manager by typing "firefox.exe -P" in the run dialog box. This does the same as trying to load Firefox - nothing happens
I can't think what else to do. It may be a coincidence, but my primary monitor died, I restarted the PC and then Firefox wouldn't work. I can't see how it could be related, but who knows.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dear support,
The spellcheck hightlights two gramatticaly good and correct words (in Czech language), when a paragraph break is a divider:
Source code (one line ends with `</p>`, the other line begins with no tag): `Inspekční prohlídka</p> Nejpozději za`
Spellcheck error attached as a screenshot. I consider this a false (incorrect) behavior. The two words should not be highlighted (and they are not, when written next to each other with a space between them).

For the last few days my Firefox browser is unable to start. I have tried reinstalling it, turning off antivirus/firewall and cleaning up the registry but it is still the same results every time.
When looking into the event viewer this is what it says:

Appreciate any help concerning this matter! /Jenny

I got new Logitech G560 speakers, with USB connection to my computer, and they work like a charm. Except for Firefox. No matter which page, Youtube, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Twitter... no sound for videos. Firefox is quiet. If I check my sound settings, the bar for sound input is not even moving, seems like Firefox is just not recognising or forwarding any sound to my USB G560 speakers.
On the other hand, everything works in Google Chrome and sound is brilliant. The problem just seems to be with Firefox. I disabled all audio devices, especially my old audio-out where I had my old speakers. I updated the drivers for Realtek HD Audio (even though I am sure I do not need them for the G560) and also updated again driver for the G560 as well as the Logitech G Hub. Firefox is also the latest version.
But nothing. Only thing happening is after trying to often to load a video in Firefox to get sound, and checking my sound settings, I get an error message saying the audio enhancements are not working properly and asking me if I wanna disable them. If I click yes, it solves the issue and Firefox is forwarding sound to my G560.
Now I thought I can disable any sound enhancements in general in WIndows 8.1... but no chance. I cannot find any setting for that. No matter where I search, it seems only Windows 10 gives that option. There is also no sound enhancement in G Hub or when checkin the system control for devices. Re-Installing the G560 drivers does not change anything.
So if I wanna have any sound in Firefox I am depending on the error message popping up... which happens only rarely. But that can't be the solution :( It seems to me the problem is with Firefox, in the way it handles the sound channel or content or whatever... and does not recognize my G560 via USB as speaker system. Even though it is the only one set active in my system.
I am really looking for any help and input to solve this please... !

My Firefox crashes all the time, but never creates a Crash Report in About:Crashes & never send me a notice about crashing. Many actions cause it to crash. Here are some: downloading from another site; printing from email like emailed tickets; clicking on some items in Firefox Options, opening a second window in Firefox.. There seems to be no specific pattern. I have uninstalled & installed again several times. & I have also updated. Nothing helps or stops the crashing. It is very frustrating & inconvenient. I have run anti-virus & malware scans. I prefer Firefox to Chrome, but may have to change my default browser if this crashing problem cannot be fixed. Please advise. It might be useful if I could actually talk to someone. thank you. Jonathan Rose xxxxxxxx.xxxx@xxx.xxx xxx xxx-xxxx

Hello,
Finally decided to make a topic about it as all of my attempts in the past few months to fix it have been in vain. Starting from Firefox 69.0 or even perhaps in 68.0, I cannot exactly remember, Firefox started to randomly crash when I opened a New Tab and tried either Googling or opening a webpage through the address bar. This crash does not create any crash reports, going to "about:crashes" does not reveal anything, neither are any crash reports stored locally.
I have tried running Firefox in safe mode, without extensions, deleting my cache files from APPDATA/Local, deleting my profile files from APPDATA/Roaming and a lot of other stuff I honestly cannot remember anymore, but nothing has helped. I even tried downgrading to 68.0, but I received some kind of big warning message and did not want to proceed.
The issue itself in essence is a full freeze, which sometimes takes a second until firefox crashes, but sometimes takes 15 seconds. During that time the only thing I can see in Task Manager is that Firefox has a "Very High" power usage, which is bizarre, since I am not even running it on a notebook (i7-9700K factory clock, RTX 2080S, 16GB DDR4 RAM). As said, it never produces a crash report, so I have been reluctant in reporting it in the past. And since it is random and can take many hours to occur (or can occur first thing after I turn on PC and open Firefox), it is basically impossible for me to record a video about it.
(While writing this, I went to look something in a new tab, tried opening my Gmail account and the crash occurred. Added a task manager screenshot about what I meant by power usage. Fortunately it allowed me to restore the session and I did not have to re-type the entire text)
From what I can gather, the issue started to happen around the time I switched over from GTX 1070 to RTX 2080 SUPER GPU. But I cannot really imagine how a GPU upgrade could influence Firefox stability. Even less so since the same Firefox issue has persevered through multiple GPU driver updates.
Hope you guys have some suggestions what to try here. Perhaps some changes in about:config that could help me out here?
Thanks in advance, Rasmus

Hi,
I have been using Firefox from a long time. However, from last night, it's not loading any page. I type the URL, and pressing ENTER is not doing anything. Even the menu items of Firefox (Options, Customize etc) are not working. I have downloaded latest Firefox Installer, which when run updated my local Firefox with latest updates. I even tried to uninstall, and then reinstall. After re-installation also, it's behaving the same way.
