Firefox Support Forum

Very recently, I was typing a ton of content into a website textarea, when my Firefox Nightly install crashed. I lost all of this work from hours. Is there any way to get access to this data?

firefox stopped showing up in the volume mixer = no sound

i've never had this issue before until recently and i've been using firefox since like ever (2010 or earlier), and i managed to fix it a couple weeks ago-ish by following some other people's advice...but it broke again now and i've tried the same things from previous help threads and it still wont fix it: i've reinstalled, refreshed, cleared cache and history etc, made sure it's not muted, checked my volume settings, restarted my windows explorer, restarted the audio in task manager, restarted my pc, made sure i have newest version of firefox, made sure my audio devices were up to date,...etc

i use only a couple extensions and a cute theme and none of those have ever caused me issues either, and I'm using AVG anti-virus if that matters - i'm only using like ublock origin, betterttv, and an extension to add things to a proxy cart that lets me buy things from japan (buyee)

it was working fine last night and the only change from last night til now was that there was a small windows update (i'm on windows 11)

i have no idea how to fix it and i don't want to swap browsers, i know it's only firefox because i launched chrome and that showed up on the volume mixer, and discord and spotify & everything else has sound working properly

if anyone knows how to resolve this or has any potential ideas, please help me, thank you

Hello,

i would like to control what might appear on my edge browser as two non-desired profiles as of now. I would like to import them in firefox but it seems impossible to import them if not the first profile. It s really annoying and i hope we will soon be able to find a solution.

Kind regards,

My dual monitor system is now requiring me to double click Firefox to work in that add on monitor... WHY ??? .. Has something changed that now makes me click on Firefox twice to be able to access it on my add on monitor ? I have MS Edge running on the primary laptop monitor and Firefox on the larger add on monitor and lately, I have to select the Firefox browser twice before ' focus ' seems to respond.

I have found many sites that work better with one or the other browsers and have my email and a few others on my larger add on monitor operating under Firefox but something seems to have changed and the delay is a hassle since I manage many different sites as a national admin for the United States Minutemen - American Patriots Coalition.

Is there some setting either in Firefox or the Windows 11 operating system that can eliminate that issue ?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I used to build my own version of the ' Nightly Firefox ' distribution many years ago but have too many other ' irons in the fire ' anymore.

Keep getting this on a number of websites. Most of them I have used for years. Can't give the websites as there are too many but some are pitchsidemanager.com, hattrick.org, skysports.com and sportinglife.com . Just four of at least 14 give the Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site message. I use No Proxy and have my anti-virus turned off when I get the message. I have tried various other proxy settings but the same thing happens. The thing is that I have to keep refreshing the page until it does actually connect and that can take a good few minutes. Sometimes I have to restart the browser. Why is this happening since the last few updates?

If I have a firefox window open (one or more), exit it, and start again, I can restore the previous session. However, if in between I open private browsing, it for some reason overwrides the session restore history with nothing. Can I somehow a) restore the session afterwards? b) prevent this from happening in the future?

I use Firefox and ESET Antivirus on Windows 10 I am using the Firefox password manager with a Primary Password. When I open a window to a bank or other sensitive site ESET Antivirus Banking and Payment Protection automatically opens a new Protected window. The password manager then fills in the login details for the site or offers a choice from a listbox if I have more than one login for that site without me having to provide a password for the password manager. Clicking on "View Saved Logins" from the listbox opens the password manager Search Logins window also without me having to enter a Primary Password. I can now view Usernames AND Passwords without having to enter any Primary Password. This appears to be an out of date copy of the passwords in a unprotected file since it is missing a few recently created entries. When using an standard Firefox browser window everything seems to work as expected with the Primary Password being required to activate the Pasword Manager and the recently created entries are present. One other point which may be relevant is that when viewing the same username/password in both the valid and the duplicate versions the window addresses are identical. This suggests to me that the Password Manager keeps the username/password data and a list of that data as separate enties and that what I have is actually one set of data with two seperate lists of the data. This makes me nervous about trying to delete anything from the unprotected list in case I am deleting the original data. This state of affairs may have come about when I was setting up Firefox Sync and inadvertantly Sync-ed Password Manager with Primary Password turned off. I have since turned off Sync but with no effect on th problem. Is there any way of deleting this apparent additional password list? The alternative seems to be to just uninstall Firefox and ESET Antivirus and re-install and hope that all the data is cleared out in the process and the re-import a password file.

using ver 117.0.1 on LinuxMint 21.2 all website and search engines work well, only can't use DuckDuckGo, get error message: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete

Please help

I was uninstalling another app when I noticed that there are two application icons for Firefox, one dated 3/25 2023 and one dated 9/26/2023 (just installed new update). How do I get rid of the first application dated 3/25/2023?

When I have Firefox minimized (with several tabs) and I click on its icon in the taskbar, FF does not immediately open, but little icons for each of the FF tabs show and I have to choose one of the tabs before FF fully opens. This is very annoying. If the program were to fully open, the one tab I was recently using would open and I could continue with my work. Is there any way to make FF fully open when I click on the FF icon in the taskbar? I am using FF 118.0 (64 bit) in Windows 11. Thanks for your help. Jerry

PS: the icon below shows what happens when I am clicking the FF icon and shows the two tabs open in FF.

MacBook Pro (2015) just died. So many crucial tabs that I always save by restoring previous session. Any way to retrieve this??? Does it live somewhere online or in the bowels of the hard drive available for extraction???

My internet provider is changing shortly and I need to change my email. I cannot make a change to my primary email in my Firefox account, which I would need to do. What am I missing?
