Firefox Community Forum

When I look in Task Manager > Startup, Firefox isn't there. When I go to Performance > Resource Monitor > Disk, it shows firefox.exe taking the top three lines when sorting by Read (B/sec). It's just grinding my computer and I'm not seeing how it's even starting up after logging into Windows.

How do I find out why firefox.exe is starting with Windows (login?), and how to stop it? I only use it intermittently for certain things. I don't need it running in the background just because I booted up or started Windows.

I have the latest (auto-updating) versions of Windows 10 Pro and Firefox.

I just started getting bombarded with popup messages that say they are via walmart05.higherincomejobs.com. At the top of the message, it says Mozilla Firefox. As soon as I dismiss to x out of one another pops up. I can't figure out how to block or disable them. These are not text messages or emails, they seem to be popups on my ThinkPad laptop. I added a screenshot of them in the attachments. HELP!

Hello,

i checked my RAM and has no problems, but my firefox crashes every time, with every tab.

crash ids: bp-28f2f2ee-3406-4f62-b19f-87c040240905 b90baa07-ab2d-447b-8031-d0a8727cfe84 bp-82bd73ea-41bf-4749-b734-12dac0240905 bp-d0f62122-a2cb-49fd-828e-b5fea0240828

can anybody help me? Thanks :)

I want to figure out how to log into to my bank without triggering 2FA every single time.

At the moment, if I log in and tick the "stay logged in" box, complete the 2FA, tick the "remember this device" box, I still have to log in two hours later, and go through the whole rigamarole again.

I assume this is some cookie setting of my own doing, but I don't know what I did.

I have Firefox using the "Standard' setting to balance protection and performance at <about:preferences#privacy>

Here's what I've tried:

• I added the URL to "exceptions for enhanced tracking protection"
• I added a specific exception to "cookies and site data" to specify that the site can "Always" allow cookies.

Just now, I removed all of my existing cookies for the site, in case I set some cookie previously that is telling it to never track anything. But if that doesn't work, is there anything I can do to ensure that the bank will actually remember that I did successfully complete 2FA in this browser already today?

I run the latest version of Firefox.

Lately it refuses to open on first attempt - be it from a start menu link or double-clicking the shortcut on my desktop or trying to open a html file directly.

It's annoying and i'd like to fix it.

I've done all the usual stuff like clearing the cache.

Mozilla Firefox sign-in to kp.org keeps preventing me from doing this. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I get a message saying, "Turn off cookies. That is unacceptable unless I do it just for this site. Please fix this problem. I have read your responses to others, and I have too damn many sites I log into to "clear my cache." Please fix this problem, or I will have to stop using this browser I have used for years.

All of my other browsers sign into this site without a hitch. This is pure nonsense, especially since the problem is intermittent.

Using Firefox for windows. Have browser set to never save patient's addresses. After clearing cache/cookies on 9/4/24, Firefox is now asking to save addresses. The box to do so remains unchecked. Cleared saved data again, restarted computer and Firefox. Still asks. Do not want to save addresses for every patient payment entered. It is a HIPAA violation waiting to happen. Not to mention, the constant pop-up asking to save is a distraction from accurate patient care & data entry.

Recently, the icons for the sites I have on my tabs will only show the globe icon. The pages themselves load and work correctly, but the icons won't show up. (For reference, the website for the tabs in the image are for AO3.)

I am having trouble pinning any Extensions to my toolbar. When i click on the Extensions icon (puzzle piece), the Extensions menu immediately pops up. My extension (Bitwarden) is set to "Enabled". When I click on the three horizontal dots, however, the only options are 1) Remove, 2) Report, or 3) Manage. There's no option given to pin the extension.

Because of that, the extension basically never opens, and I am unable to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

I am running Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) in Windows 11 on a Surface tablet. FWIW, the extension is running fine in Chrome.
