Accidentally added a misspelling to the Firefox dictionary. Thought it would be easy to locate and edit the dictionary.

Enabled 'show hidden files.'

On XYplorer, and Windows File Explorer can find not a single trace of 'persdict.dat' in my profiles folder.

It would be really helpful if you could advise what the next step would be. Thanks.

Firefox for Windows hangs when I copy text, either by Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C or by using a right-click menu. The browser just stops responding. It doesn't crash. Eventually, it will return and behave normally.

I tried removing all extensions and closing all open tabs. No change. I'm out of ideas. I suspect it may be trying to synchronize with something it can't find or there's network latency. Task Manager shows it's using a lot of resources. It doesn't do it every time, just often enough to be frustrating.

When signing in to my Barclays On Line account,the 2nd page of the sequence is distorted such that one vital box can only be seen my reducing the page to 65%. This happens on two PC's both are using Firefox. Browsing with Edge gives no problem! One PC is running win 10 the other Win11 - both have Norton 360 AV. Is this a FF or Barclays problem?

Is it possible? Like, for example, you click a link on Discord then it open a new tab AND it makes it the active window.

It would be a bit like this config "browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external" set to "3" not for a window but for a tab + it would make this window the active one.

Hello, I am currently having an annoying issue when browsing Firefox on particular websites. There's this large, irremovable white bar at the bottom of the screen that appears when I'm browsing particular websites (it only appears on those and those websites only), but it never appears on other websites and there doesn't seem to be a way to remove it. I've tried clearing cookies and cache, disabling certain extensions but nothing has seemed to work so far. I'm currently using the Firefox Nightly, but the same exact issue is present on the same exact websites (developer.mozilla.org, codewars.com, etc.) on my regular version of the browser. This is getting really annoying and I don't want to switch to a Chromium-based browser, so is there any way to fix this annoying issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! Could you help me, please? I forgot my main email name that i used for firefox account. How can i restore it? I tried 2 my emails and both of them is empty, no tabs, no apps, no bookmarks.

Windows 11 Firefox version 103 Daily my Firefox will stop being able to cut, copy, or paste from anywhere to anywhere. Only a full system reboot fixes this temporarily.

So basically I reset my laptop as it wasn't updating to the latest Windows 11 (22H2) and I forgotten I changed my password on gmail 42 days ago with a Firefox password generator and I don't know my recovery password as I've got a few e:mail accounts with G:mail (I think should limit on how many gmail accounts have per person :D) anyways anyone got any thoughts as my Patreon and other websites are on there and everytime I try and sign in to them it sends a password to my thefmveteran86 account but can't access it

lets say im watching youtube fullscreen on two monitors but i press escape to close the video im currently watching, firefox closes both fullscreens. it happens on all videos. is there anyway to stop that

when i put my cursor on something(home...delete...etc) a pop up displays telling what i am pointing at. most times, these popups obscure the button that i am trying to activate blocking my efforts. is there a way to disable these labels ? Also, is there an ad-on or theme that will make the scroll bar on the right-hand side of the window a size that a human can use ? the stock one is almost too small to grab. thank you.

This has started to day, I'm running it on Windows 11 and if I minimize a windows sometimes I am unable to reopen from the taskbar, I would see the browser window flash for 1 second and then a window error bell sound will play, but there is no error message. The only way I can get back that window is to right click the icon in the taskbar and click Restore on the rightclick pane. I would have to do this everytime this happens.

I don't know what caused this, it was fine most of the day and just started late afternoon. Anyone have a clue to the root of this issue and what's your advice?

Syncing doesn't work from old computer to new computer. logins now converted to .csv and stored on new computer. How to move from Excel file to Firefox? Can it be done?

My Facebook page has completely changed, I cant play my set games, all groups that I belonged to have gone, all my friends have gone, etc. I want all these back or I'll drop out all together. It seems like my page is now all adds

SPYWARE ALERT! Attempted to Clear Data via Settings/Privacy and Security/Clear Data/Clear/Clear NUMEROUS TIMES and it consistently leaves 2.0 MB of Cached Web Content. THIS is the exact same reason that I quit using MS Edge.

When I use WhatsApp Web, if I play a video someone sent to me or in a group, I can't pause the video. Besides that, when the playback reaches the end, it starts playing the video again (in loop). It happens both when opening the video (normal mode) and when using picture-in-picture mode. I've already tried to run FF in Troubleshoot Mode, to see if the culprit was any of the extensions I have, but no, the problem persists. I've also tested it in other browsers (e.g. Edge) and the problem didn't occur, so it doesn't seem to be something related to the website.

FF version is 105.0.1 64-bit, running on Windows 11. But I already had the same problem with earlier FF versions and on Windows 10.

Hello, I'm using a Synology NAS (DS220+) installed on my local network, behind my internet box). This NAS can be accessed both from the local network (https://192.168.1.nn:ppppp) and remotely across Internet (https://subdomain.domain:yyyyy). With Firefox I can access my NAS locally but not remotely. While this works fine with Chrome or Edge.

As my issue looks like another one on your support site ("Page won't load in Firefox, but works fine in any other browser", opened 7/1/21, 3:39AM), I applied part of the proposed solution: run Firefox in troubleshooting mode, cleared history, cookies, cache; did a refresh; removed then reinstalled Firefox, created a brand new profile. Without success.

Would you please have some ideas to help me? Thanks and regards Matteo

If the following can help: - My laptop: Dell Latitude 5431, CPU 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1250P 1.70 GHz; RAM 16Gb - Windows 11 Professional, 22H2 build 22621.521 - Firefox 105.0.1 (64bits)

Firefox is crashing instantly on startup on Windows 11 22H2 x64-Architecture.

Things I've tries: Running in troubleshoot mode (Fails because Firefox doesn't even start) Reinstalling (Doesn't help event when doing a complete fresh install, deleting profiles, registry entries, and the program itself) Running windows in safe mode (Does work but I don't want to run in safe mode constantly) Adding a firewall exception (Doesn't work) Add an antivirus exception (Doesn't work)

I'm not getting any error reports or anything in general. I click the icon and it crashes.
