Firefox Support Forum

I'm having the same issue described in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1147868 and have tried the recommended fix. I have changed the setting reccommended in about:config to false, but about:support still shows 1/1 for multiprocess windows, and I have 6 instances of Firefox running in the process manager (screenshot shows 5, but it has been as many as 7 at once).

Is there anything else I can try to fix this issue? Any help is much appreciated!

Long time user of Firefox (and Thunderbird) - in last few days started getting the yellow bar warning about a web page slowing down your browser with the options to wait or... some pages I can click on wait and it will continue soon after, other times Firefox freezes and can only be stopped through task manager.

This happens on sites such as Google Maps, my financial institutions websites, etc. I've tried safe mode, refresh, disable all extensions, disable hardware acceleration, etc - nothing works..

I'm on an Spectre X360 laptop with 16 GB Ram, 512GB SSD drive, UHD display. Running Avast anti-virus. On 5Ghz wireless to 150Mpbs internet connection.

I installed Chrome to compare, not a single problem with speed and no yellow bar messages.

In past, I've had no problems with speed - even with multiple tabs open.

What happened? This just started out of the blue, at first I thought it was our ISP until I tried Chrome.

As I tried to enter my plugins below, I opened the add-ons manager and when I went back to the tab to enter them got the same yellow bar A web page... error! ON THIS PAGE!

This has been going on for a couple weeks now. Every single time I try to open my outlook email account while using Firefox, it opens for a second or two. Then it's replaced by an error message. Message simply says: an error occurred. Try refreshing your browser. Anyone else experienced this? Anyone know the remedy for this? Appreciate any help. LostOkie

I'm running Firefox 59.0.2 64-bit on my PC. I have extensions for AdBlock, Honey, and LastPass. In addition to the two plug-ins provided by Mozilla in this version of Firefox, I have added Flash Player (re-installed several times).

I can't see ANY videos at all. No YouTube, no types of video at all.

I've refreshed my Firefox totally (and don't want to do that again any time soon!).

I've looked at "solutions" provided online, and nothing has worked.

Will someone give me the exact setup that should allow me to watch videos? Right now, when they come up, I get a spinning circle until finally some type of error message appears. The error message differs depending on where I'm watching the video. For example, If I'm trying to watch a YouTube video, I see the still picture that accompanies the video. When I click on the "play" arrow, I get: "An error occurred. Please try again later. Playback ID: pcGJXEDjuz-BRuBz" If I try to watch something on, say, the Weather Channel site, I first see the still picture. When I click to "play", I see a black screen with a small blue square in the center with the Weather Channel logo.

I did have a big Microsoft update a few nights ago, but I have no idea what changed there.

Bottom line: I have no idea what has happened to my video. What has changed since Firefox 58?

Hello everyone,

So yeah the tittle is pretty self-explanatory: whenever I go to a website playing a medai (music, or video) firefox becomes super slow, and the sound starts to crash / shutter. I'm on windows 10, latest Firefox 59.

For example when I go and lauch a youtube video, the first few seconds of the video are impossible to understand because it's so laggy and bugged. I really don't know what to do. Here's a non-exaustive list of what I've tried so far: - Disabling hardware accelaration - Updating Adobe Flash - Updating my sound drivers - Updating my windows - Switching to the beta version firefox 60 - Making a clean install of my Firefox and refreshing it - Disabling OpenGL - Scanning my computer for viruses (nope)

Anyway maybe I forgot some stuff because I did a lot of things before asking this question, so if anyone has an idea... I'm all ears.

I recently ticked the option for "Your browser seems to be running slow, Firefox?" Following this, my saved logins were saved to the Old Firefox Data on my Windows 10 desktop. How do I import/transfer these to my new profile, please?

Why is Firefox suddenly not remembering any of my logins or passwords? When I go into Preferences > Security, the box to "remember logins and passwords for websites" is checked. However, when I click on saved passwords there are zero. The boxes are still popping up asking if I want to save a password and I click yes, but it doesn't save. I am not in private browsing mode. However, I recently had an issue with firefox running slowly and was prompted to perform a function to make it run faster, which I did. I don't remember what that was, but it seems to have triggered this.

As I have written many times before .... having a web browser automatically go to a website based on a word typed in the URL BAR is a security nightmare. There is no way to tell what asinine site you will end up on if you miss spell a word.

I have repeatedly removed the ability to search from the URL BAR from my web browser and FF keeps putting it back. Dammit!! My browser, my choice. Leave it alone!

Now the ability to disable it is gone.

Standard answer given: <quote>

I don't know what version you were using before, but web searching from the address bar goes back many, many years. And the way to disconnect web search from the address bar remains exactly the same:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste keyw and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the keyword.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false

Now the explanatory line on the drop-down is relatively new; it probably dates back to Firefox 43. That can be hidden but not disabled. And there's really no need to disable it, it just tells you what will happen if you submit the current contents of the address bar.

<end quote> It is set to false. If a misspelled word is typed in the url bar it goes to a website.

browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete is not an option anymore - it has been removed.

If I type localhst instead of local host i end up on a Chinese site or a site selling me domains. If FF cant find a domain of the name given - say so - don't send me somewhere dangerous or unknown.

I switched to other browsers after I found that they (Chrome, Opera, and Edge) have a better feature for printing.

At least for me personally, I prefer a browser that... 1) Automatically shows a print preview when I try to print in a popup window (not an entirely separate window that covers the browser entirely). and that 2) Figures out how to print the text and images to PDF really well. (I print to PDF *all* the time.)

I saw a previous response suggested the add-on "Print Preview Button by Button Guy," but I have the following two problems with this: 1) this add-on didn't work for me 2) for security reasons, I don't want to use add-ons that are not by Mozilla.

Is there a way to have similar functionality to the competitor browsers in regards to the print function showing a preview in a pop-up window?

Thank you.

Hallo habe gerade an der järlichen firefox-Umfrage teilgenomen und angeblich ein smartphone für 2,95 € gewonnen. Ist das ein fake???? Mir wurde unter "Eambu.com" ein account eingerichtet, den ich eigentlich garnicht will. Bitte um Auskunft und was zu tun ist. DANKE Viele Grüße Michael

I'm trying to set up firefox so that I can view PDFs in the browser instead of downloading them and opening them in Adobe. I understand that to do this, you're supposed to go to Options and then under applications set Portable Document Format to Preview In Firefox. However, I don't have Portable Document Format listed under Content Type. Instead, I have Adobe Acrobat Document and for this there isn't any option to Preview in Firefox.

What can I do to view PDFs in the browser?

I have a group of recent history items (which actually arent recent) that will not go away on my View History tab. They show up under bookmarks, view pocket list, history etc. There are 6 and they never change. How can I make this go away???

I could not find where to enter my auto fill data. I opened everything in the Menu to find where I can could enter new my auto fill information for auto filling web forms. I had the same problem when I thought I would try Microsoft Edge. Google Chrome was easy having "Password and forms" then "Autofill settings" .

What am I missing??????
