I run Firefox under Linux Mint. Both are always update to the latest level. Over the past 1 to 1.5 years, across updates to both Firefox and Mint and multiple 'clean' installs of Firefox, I have experienced many crashes from Firefox per week. Sometimes there will be as many as 5 per day, but never less than one per day. During the same period I have also been running Vivaldi; it has not crashed once in that time. Now I have to do something. If there is a simple way to perform 'problem source identification', that is within my capability, I would be grateful for advice. If there is not, then clearly I will have to un-install Firefox.

As far as I can tell both of these browsers run with just 1 add-on/extension: uBlock Origin. Disabling this extension in Firefox does not stop Firefox from crashing.

Aloha, I have been using Thunderbird since decades. Since a few weeks (or even months) by now, it is hanging all the time. Meanwhile it is totally impossible to use it properly. Whenever I klick on something it hangs itself up and I have to wait at least a minute until I can click something else and then it hangs again.

I already tried reinstalling, but that didnt change anything. Of course I also rebooted the computer.

Why is that so and what can be done?

Hello,

I can no longer log into twitch, it says my browser isn't supported.

Before you say anything: I have the latest version of Firefox, I have disabled all addons, cleared all cache and cookies, even tried a complete, clean re-install. I can log-in in other browsers, just not in Firefox. I have disabled enhanced tracking protection as well, didn't work.

Does anyone have an idea?

After I reinstalled Windows and reinstalled Thunderbird, task reminders no longer work. I create tasks using the New Task button on the Tasks tab with a due date and time in the New Tasks dialog. This used to result in a Reminders window popping up at the scheduled date and time. Now, however, nothing happens. As far as I can tell, all the settings on the new install of Thunderbird are the same as I had before. The screenshot shows what I used to get, and what I would like to get again.

Is some setting required to get a Reminders window?

Please help me in being able to translate Portuguese files. When I open a .pdf file in FireFox, and try to translate it from portuguese to english, the translate icon in FireFox is greyed out and doesn't work. What do I need to do to fix this?

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with all the latest Windows updates installed; running Windows version 23H2. Firefox release I'm having problems with: 137.0.2.

Just upgraded to release/version 137.0.2. The first time I open Firefox each day it takes about 2 to 3 minutes for ANY website to load. Sometimes when a web page does eventually load none of the images display.

I have tried same websites using Google Chrome AND Microsoft Edge. Websites don't have problems loading using either of those 2 browsers unless I have Firefox open in another window. If they load slowly, as soon as I close Firefox, web page load quickly in Chrome or Msoft Edge.

Not a RAM problem because I typically have around 20% of my RAM being used.

Did not have any of these problems using Firefox version 137.0.1.

UPDATE: Thought maybe it was one of my add-on/extensions so I checked for updates. Four needed updating. Made the updates and website still no loading properly.

Hi Mozilla, I'm a loyal and longtime user and have had no major problems I can remember in the last 15 years. Recently, however, I've found that over the last seven or so months I have had great difficulty managing my New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com) and New Yorker (https://www.newyorker.com/account/profile) accounts. I have had to update credit card information, change passwords and update personal information and I've only been able to do this by switching to an alternate browser (usually Safari). I'm constantly told that I should be using Chrome with them, which I DO NOT want to do. Can you find out why Firefox won't fully work with these sites? Thanks and Cheers, Jeb Blount (p.s. the last time I had trouble with this was about a week ago)

When scrolling on iOS, websites are jumping up and down whenever address bar appears. On some websites it isn’t a big issue (cnn.com), on some it is really annoying (Audi.pl). It makes it really hard to browse. See the video:

On Facebook, or other websites that have a text enter box that appears on the bottom, my keypad covers it and I need to scroll up to see what I've typed in and it Zooms back up to cover the text box as soon as I input a key. Whats going on?

A couple of weeks ago, following the last iOS update, my Firefox browser will not stay open long enough to use it. It keeps reverting to the home screen. I have had to remove it as my default iPhone 15 Pro browser because it won't work. The bulk of my passwords are stored in Firefox, and not my phone password, so I can no longer use certain sites without changing all my passwords to get new ones when I don't have access to my desktop.

I also have an iPad Mini, latest version, with iPadOS 18.3.2 installed. My passwords suddenly stopped working.

So I have two devices I carry at all times. I can't access my iPhone browser, so no passwords, and my iPad browser works, and it can't access passwords either.

I am hoping to avoid deleting and re-installing, so I don't lose my browser history, but I don't know what else to do.

Thanks!

I cannot tile my Firefox windows to left or right when I choose vertical tabs mode from settings. It works fine with horizontal tabs enabled. I am using Firefox 137.0.1 on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.8 with Linux Kernel version 6.8.0-57-generic, display server X11.

Thunderbird hangs immediately as soon as I click the Junk folder. Another issue that may be related to this. I posted a question about Thunderbird hanging in a few minutes after starting. It hung this morning when I was downloading the message. The inbox, which had hundreds of messages, became empty. After I downloaded messages again, it had over 6000 messages, most of which were junk. It seems the junk filter is not working now. Could anyone offer a tip on the remedy for this?

Videos from AcharyaPrashant.org are broken since past week and not playing on firefox Android, I've attached a screenshot of the same. But videos from the same website are playing well on the firefox beta app.

I do not understand why in the left hand side bar window I have listed both "Local Folders" and "Local Folders2". The problem is that when I go to look up something I thought I had archived I find it is not there. I thought the folder would contain it. However it got put in the folder either called "Local Folders" or "Local Folders2". I would rather there not be two "Local Folders". As it is now if I archive something and go to look for it, I won't know which place I archived it because both of those folders have the same listing. It is really confusing to me. What can I do so that I will only have one "Local Folders" listing.

Thunderbird performs a compaction. When it is finished the blue progress line is still showing on the bottom right hand side of the window.

You can select any folder and any view condition (read, all, tags etc) and no emails are shown anywhere.

• Restarting Thunderbird fixes the problem with no errors.
• This has happened a lot of times now and is consistent.
• If you force a compaction the problem does not occur.

Update: Usually, in frustration, I restart Thunderbird to fix the problem. This time, whilst typing this forum question, the problem resolved itself. I guess about ten minutes elapsed before the application righted itself. I will watch for the next incident and see what other information can be observed.
