Firefox Support Forum

Today I used firefox on my PC, using duckduckgo. I searched "iKnee" which is a brand of knee massager. I found that site but also in the search results there were several offensive porn sites listed. The first time that's ever happened. Why has it happened this time? Can I prevent it happening again?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently running into some speed issues with Firefox on my laptop. I run Windows 10 on my HP Pavillion Notebook, 64 bit, 8GB RAM. It has been very slow to load all pages for the past 2 days, despite no real change in routine.

My internet connection is fine however, and other browsers such as Chrome run very fast on my PC. I have my Firefox updated to the latest version, I haven't installed any new add-ons in a long time. Just gave my current ones a look and all seem fine. Can also run Firefox fine on phone, so the speed issue is strictly for Firefox on PC. I've restarted my laptop, router, run troubleshooting, and nothing is showing up.

Should I wait this out and see if it clears up on it's own? If so, for how long? And if not, what should I do to fix this? Please let me know if you have any new suggestions, thank you.

Once I pull up firefox, I NEVER get a search window to start my search. The only 1 that shows at the bottom is chrome? I do get the jump back in, but nothing to start a new one.

When I close tabs, and the computer stops working and I check the Task manager it turns out that firefox still runs 20-30tabs in the background when most of then have been closed and have just 4 running!!!

This occupies 100% of disk and CPU, and thw laptop stops functioning and freezes!!!!!!

And this happens all the time! How do we make firefox actualy close the tabs properly?? Without having to dig through task managerto close them again one by one?

I saw this same issue posted on here, but I press the shift key while using the Firefox browser and what appears to be a developer menu pops up at the bottom of the page, the crappy thing is this is occuring on my laptop so my keyboard is part of the computer lol

I am trying to create a new Firefox account with it's own email to be separate from this Firefox account I am posting from. However, every time I try to follow the "sign up" buttons I get redirected to the login page where I enter what I want as the new account info and receive a "Primary email account required for sign in" The email I'm trying to use for my new account is NOT registered with Firefox and I am using a freshly installed version of the browser on a new PC so no extensions are interfering.

Long time ago I had this email let's say x@yahoo.com after some years i delete and made a new one x@gmail.com. On my PC every time I try to log in it goes like this: I put my x@gmail.com i put my password and it sends me a code on the same Gmail address... Very simple right? I put my verification code in and it says wrong password for email x@YAHOO.com... WHY DOES IT CHANGE MY EMAIL FROM GMAIL TO YAHOO ? I'M LOSING MY MIND I CAN'T LOG IN ON FRESH WINDOWS INSTALL!!!! I even reinstalled Mozilla, I've cleaned everything there is too be cleaned from the browser and same stupid "feature". Whyyyyyyyy????

After updating my Windows, I had a problem with Firefox and several other programs not opening. Please help me how to fix Firefox.

Error phrase :

(V The application was unable to start correctly (Oxc0000022). Click OK to close the application.)

I used to be able to copy text in a youtube comment by long tapping on the comment and then dragging the handles to select the text.

This method of selecting text no longer works with Firefox for Android. It still works with other browsers such as Opera, Duckgo and Adblock Plus for Android.

I have been trying for hours to get Firefox to allow me to use my webcam in the browser but I have uninstalled my browser, factory reset my laptop, removed my antivirus, gone in the website to allow, tried to find a suss certificate (which I don't want to go deleting anyway because I don't want to delete the wrong thing).

If someone can help me it will be appreciated. If you are going to go into registry keys etc please be clear in your instructions how to get there and fix it because whilst I'm not novice I have autism so my understanding might not be the same as an it person. Thanks

Hello everybody!
