This just started recently. When I opened walmart.com, Firefox become almost unresponsive. I discovered with Task Manager that the memory used by Firefox was continually increasing until all my RAM was used. To recover, I found that I must disconnect my RJ-45 to kill the web and get Firefox shut down. I can then replug my RJ-45 and relaunch Firefox and have no problems. If I don't unplug the RJ-45 and I relaunch Firefox, it jumps right back to the Walmart.com tab and begins eating RAM again. How do I fix this problem. BTW, there was NO change in addins or plugins when this occurred. I don't remember if there was a Firefox update about then.

I use Gmail email and ever since Firefox upgraded me I have had problems viewing PDF's.
When the PDF viewer opens it comes up with an error saying that the pop up blocker has prevented the page from showing but mail.google.com is listed in the allow list.
How can I stop this error?

Ok guys, this one is a bit more complicated than it sounds. A while back I was using a older version of Fox, I think v 15.xxx and had flash player 11 or 12. When using youtube it looked great. But now I upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash player. When I watch vids on youtube they look real blurry and pixelated until the 720 hd kicks in. And even then it doesn't look as good and with the older flash player. I checked and my nvidia card doesn't seem to have any effect on either program. Is this a legit problem and which flash player version should I switch back to??

so I just tried the new hello right away, emailed myself a link and the link to click is only showing up in the 'email title' and not in the main body and in Yahoo you cant even see it. You have to copy the whole thing to get the link then trim it down. Something I might not be doing right.
I did get it to work connecting from Android Phone to desk top on the test though SWEET!

I set a master password so I can use bank details but now Firefox asks for it every time I open the program; I've read that it's because of Sync, but I don't want my passwords sent to a server, I just want them stored locally, and when I go into Options and the Sync tab there's nothing to disable it. Help!

I was attempting to cull some history, Firefox became non-responsive and had to be force closed. When it was re-opened, all my tabs which are typically restored were missing and I did not have the option to restore the session. According to sync on my Android, the last update there was about an hour ago, which would have been before issue with the desktop browser. How can I restore my info from my phone, ensuring it is not overwritten by the lack of data now on my desktop version?

I recently upgraded to 36 and am running Windows8.0.
I opened up Firefox after the update and it worked fine until it suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. It doesn't say that it can't connect to the website, it just sits there with the loading charm circling endlessly.
I can restart my computer and use the "Delete Parent.lock" fix, but it doesn't last for more than about 5 minutes. I also can't untick the box for "Read Only" on the folders for profiles. Rather, I can, but it reverts after hitting "OK" and closing the Properties.
Refreshing Firefox after rebooting my computer worked for about the same length of time, so that fix will not work.

Win 7.1, FF 36.0 (just updated) All add-ons & javascript up to date.
A few weeks ago this problem began: I am not aware of any configuration changes or new software installation at that time. This problem began while the previous ver. of FF was installed, and continues with 36.0
It seems very consistent with the site: always on Amazon, for example - all I see is text - some of it links. Internal Amazon links lead to one after another text-only page. The page structure is recognizable. I have to use IE to do business there.
Adobe Flash Player Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.296 (stated by Mozilla to bee vulnerable (16.0 r0) won't update: message Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169) blocked (Not 16+ !). Is there an alternative?
Control Panel > uninstall Programs indicates that Flash Player ActiveX and NPAPI & Shockwave player are present somewhere: don't know why. I often can't play video in news media - no indication why with R-click - ideas?
I watch NoScript (which I have had for years) carefully. I also have Trueblock+ installed (it does a good job).
I know there is a FF refresh function, but am loth to have everything set back to defaults, unless there is no other solution.
Any insights or fixes will be gratefully considered. Thanks!
Firefox 36 still blocked by WinXP firewall after manually creating exception

The new Thunderbird worked fine this morning on my dev machine, but FF36 (took the upgrade when offered last night, today's the first day out) can't find google. (Network equipment works fine, and seeing as I'm typing this from my non-dev machine my net is unlikely to be the problem.)
Went to a public terminal and read the support notes, got some dev in, etc. Came back here and have implemented the re-exception policy on the dev machine as best I'm able: 1) I'm running WinXP, and AFAIK am not able to update as MS would prefer I waste money on a new OS. So stuck with the windows firewall.
2) I have old versions of FF on the dev machine. After a bit of experimentation--went into the program directory and found the executable was last updated last night--I struck FF from the exception list altogether, and re-added (and enabled) it, as directed. FF was not operating at the time.
3) After thusly re-creating the exception and restarting FF, it continues to be unable to find google, or mozilla for that matter. Request: include a support IRC/e-mail/etc contact in the Help/About, so we don't need to have a working browser to get help getting the browser working.
4) I run AVG but have not enabled its firewall (I'm using the free 2014 version, continuing to update it as needed. Why screw around with another EULA??). I also run Malwarebytes but do not believe that it has any sort of firewall or other blocking component. I was able to update Malwarebytes without problems on my dev machine, as well as execute Git console commands. I was *not* able to connect to IRC via ChatZilla; not a complete surprise, but a Just In Case check.
Be advised that the version/OS/plugins info is NOT representative of that on the machine suffering the problem, as I'm unable to get that machine here thanks to the can't find anything failure.

I have tried all suggestions in articles relating to 'links in Thunderbird not opening in Firefox.' None of them work. The Thunderbird community said it was a problem with a setting in Firefox, that is, how Firefox handles Thunderbird.
The issue is, one link will usually open if it is the first time I click a link in Thunderbird. After that I cannot open any links to Firefox, and each click on a link in Thunderbird (including the first one) produces an additional firefox.exe in Task Manager (see image). Each of these Firefox iterations are generally 49,000+K. They do not seem to interfere with Firefox's operation.
I also cannot right click to 'open link in browser.' Only copying link location and pasting it into the browser is working for me. this has been fairly recent with the last two upgrades to Thunderbird and the recent upgrades in Firefox.
I am running Win 7 Pro.
Any suggestions?

I installed FF 36.0 yesterday afternoon. Since then FF is a) slow to start - over a minute, b) slow to respond (same delay) when clicking a link in another program such as TBird. I have executed a refresh and cleared all cache and history. Still same problem even asterf numerous exits via the approved mechanism and restarts of Windows 7. THis is becoming annoying and time wasting. I also set the Norton Firewall setting for FF from Auto to Allow. Doesn't help

Installed Firefox 36 on a Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2-1051 (10" screen).
Opened the Settings dialog, but the top bar (with the X) is off the top of the screen, the bottom OK and Cancel buttons are off the bottom of the screen. I can't seem to drag the dialog up or down to get access to those buttons. The escape key and enter key seem to be the only ways out, but I can't be sure that Enter is on OK or not.
