Probably after upgrading FF to 55 (64bit) on Windows 7, all pull-down items get disabled a while after FF is started.
The affected items include not only the web page pull-down menus but also FF's own menu bar items, tab browser (the tiny downward triangle far right to the tabs), "Open menu" button (the three thick horizontal bars rightmost in the tool bar), etc., almost everything. Some web page pull-down items still work, but they are probably in different CSS/JS/HTML coding. The menu bar shortcuts (e.g. alt-T for Tools) become unresponsive, too.
Everything works fine right after FF is started, but, a while after, varying from a few minutes to a few hours, all FF windows start suffering this symptom simultaneously. Restarting FF resumes the good, but the symptom returns a while after. Starting FF in Safe Mode makes no difference; neither does restarting OS. User activity on FF (e.g. typing and clicking into FF) does not seem to affect the symptom; leaving FF untouched at all for a while after starting FF also leads to the symptom. No other applications running concurrently on the same PC suffer this.
55 (64bit) on Windows 10 works fine.

How can I view a responsive web site as a mobile view in firefox desktop?
I create responsive web sites that I need to view as they will appear when published.
How do I turn off the warning about a website slowing down the browser?
I play a game and it takes up 30 seconds to load. It would be nice to turn off the notification about that site slowing down the browser!

Under Windows 10, after I first launch firefox and attempt to login to gmail, focus is stolen from the window as I entering my gmail password.
This happens almost every time after I first start up Windows 10. I am not sure if this problem is caused by firefox (or a plugin), Windows 10 or even gmail. This has been happening for several days / weeks. It could be related to a firefox version update. Current Firefox version is 50.1.0

I use windows 7 and for some reason Firefox 50.1.0 has stopped giving me the facility to click on a contact e-mail link in any web page so that microsoft outlook will open and allow me to use the e-mail link. IE11 has no issues with this but I'd rather use firefox which I have as default. Why will firefox no longer open outlook when I click on a link in a web page?

That used to happen for years. About 2 months ago Firefox began opening with a 'restored' (i.e. not maximised) window. For a few days in the last fortnight it resumed opening maximised. Now it is opening with a 'restored' window which is wider and shorter than the size used previously.

Hello, I have been waiting a few days for a verification email from Firefox Sync. I'm logging in through Firefox on another computer. The email address is a standard Gmail one, and I have checked all folders, including Spam. I'm actively sending and receiving Gmail messages, so there's nothing wrong with that account. Since there's no direct way to contact Mozilla, I'm at a loss of what to do next. I want to have everything synced up properly; that's the reason I'm using the service to begin with. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have a computer I use to monitor the status of several servers via a web page which contains multiple iFrames. The iFrames have http-equiv="refresh" in them which updates the frame every few minutes. When I wake the computer from sleep it takes 30 seconds for the network card to wake up and the auto refresh is failing . Prior to upgrading from FF 28 everything was fine, but now I am getting "The connection was reset" in the frames.
I tried adjusting network.http.response.timeout and network.http.connection-timeout but still have the problem.

Several months ago, Firefox stopped saving updated passwords. For instance, I have changed my Amazon password. Every time I go to Amazon it displays my old password (I can tell by the length), and after I manually enter the new password it asks if I want to update the saved password. I click yes but each time I go back it is still the same old password that is stored. This happens on many sites, not just Amazon.

Hi, I'm running FF 50 portable and I'm having a few problems. When I uncheck update add-ons automatically through the add-ons page or in about config when I restart FF it keeps re-enabling. Also when I restart, my yahoo homepage is bringing up a version that looks like it may have been from a few hours ago because emails that I've deleted are back. I've started FF without add-ons enabled and I get all the same problems. Another thing I noticed is I'm 99% sure that I've had update add-ons automatically selected before and whenever I restarted FF I never got a pop up saying that FF was trying to update the add-ons, which I'm getting now followed by a failed pop up. I really do not want to reset FF in any way, I've spent way too long getting it to the state I like it in.

Anyone know of a good alternative/fork to Firefox since they have just made themselves a 3rd rate browser?

Just 12 weeks before it was set to a happen did they notify developers right after most of them took a retarded amount of time rewriting all their code for multi-process support.
So basically what I am looking for is a fork of Firefox that doesn't try to copy chrome.

Since my website (https://www.der-bank-blog.de) is configured to http2, users using FF ESR cannot access anymore. They just see a blank screen.
Other browsers and "normal" FF are working fine.
I seems to stay in connection with the cipher Suite. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=975832
User could workarround by changing "aes_256" in the about:config view.
But I need a solution for the backend to avoid loosing users, trying to reach the site e.g. via Google Search.
Any ideas are greatly apreciated

I keep getting a "blocked" message from Avast, my internet security provider. Where is this "updaterex.com" malware virus coming from. The other day my girlfriend told me that I was trying to "video call" her on Facebook, I don't know how to do this, I did not do this. It also said that she was trying to "video call" me, she doesn't know how to do this either.
Do I have a virus in my computer? I ran a scan and all the files are ok, no viruses. Why does this bad file keep trying to attack my computer, its scary. It has happened about 12 times already. I want it gone !!

Firefox Imgur and Flash WIthin imgur there is a button to copy a link to images. Within Firefox that doesn't work properly, at least *I* didn't get it to work properly. Either it doesn't work, or something else is showing up (recently)
Within Chrome, no issues.
I understand that Firefox does not support Flash, but fact is that a lot of sites still have Flash. Believe Chrome and Edge support Flash websites, have a built in Flash or something. Probably they have more control then?
So Firefox is either chasing away their users to the 'competition' (I have Chrome on my pc as well), or users should separately install Flash, which may then be more vulnerable than when Flash is 'built in' (controlled) by the browser.
Either way, it is disappointing.
I understand the policy, I understand that websites should switch to HTML5 but right now, it doesn't help me much.
No.. indeed there is no question here, just frustration.
