I am having a difficult time with this web site, and have already tried to submit this question. But I was told it was rejected. So I will try one more time.
I am running Firefox 65.0.1 in Linux Mint 19.1 on a Dell Optiplex desktop PC.
I have Firefox configured to always open in private mode: browser.privatebrowsing.autostart=true
I also have it configured to show my homepage at startup: browser.startup.page=1
However, when I launch Firefox, I am presented with the "about:privatebrowsing" page, and my homepage is nowhere to be found.
Is there someway I can keep Firefox from showing the "about:privatebrowsing" page, and instead show me my homepage?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

HDMI sound crackles and is annoying. I know this has been a problem before from other threads but your site says it is too old and needs to be resubmitted so here it goes. The typical replies you give are work-arounds - like resetting your sound settings (sometimes disabling HDMI sound and re-enabling it fixes the problem) - but that is not acceptable. I cannot do that every time I open Firefox. The annoying thing is that I have no problem with Chrome or Chromium (its Linux clone), EVER. This is a Mozilla Firefox problem, it has been going on for a long time, FIX IT. This is not an error that leaves an error trail so I am not supplying troubleshooting information. It is getting close to me changing my default browser and that is a pity after so many years. I have Ubuntu 18.04. Your system hangs up when loading a screenshot of my sound settings so I am submitting this without it.

As of recently, particularly since the last couple Firefox updates, Firefox will freeze and my computer completely locks up. Up to now I've had no problems at all, even with hardware acceleration enabled. I need to re-boot my computer to clear it. It happens intermittently on any web page during any and all activity. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration to no avail. It does not happen with any other app on my machine. Event Viewer in Windows 10 does not show the problem. Firefox troubleshooting shows nothing I can see. Please advise. Thank you.

Resulting from a failed download, I had several file pairs "XXX" (0 bytes) and "XXX.part" (several hundred megabytes), but it seems that Firefox silently removed these files when closing the private window. As I am told on the Private Browsing window start screen: "Firefox will save your: downloads" So I do not expect that Firefox tampers with my Downloads directory and destroys data in it! When downloads were marked "Paused", Firefox asked my whether I want to close the Private Browsing window, as the downloads would be cancelled, but when they were shown as "Failed" it did not say anything so it also should not modify anything!
(Note that the file pair is still valuable, even if it is no longer listed in any downloads list. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1220917describes how to resume a download and this method should also work for a private download.)

Hello,
I'm a little angry right now because I have lost bookmarks of all my life and I need your help to repair it please? I don't know why but somehow, Firefox which I use for years ; (Thx by the way) ; corrupted my data on the run...? I started Firefox again but, no extension, no bookmarks, etc.. I Have kept a backup of all this FF profile, just in case.
My 1st step was to try to get a new profile a import my previous data from Firefox Sync - but somehow , I'm angry at myself again for not understanding how FF Sync work, no data from FFSync updated my data - It stayed like this for a long time , like a new profile without data (I used Xmarks before so I thought it was replacing it).
2nd step: I tried to load all bookmarks-xxx.jsonlz4 located in the bookmarkbackups folder from the FF bookmarks tools (Import / export ; etc). FF seems to see all the bookmarks but can't load them. What is really important here is that FF backed up files for like a month and even my oldest file is unusable : bookmarks-2019-01-19-xxx.jsonlz4 !!
3rd step: I tried to get my data back from FF files, in bookmarks files like bookmarks-2019-01-19-xxx.jsonlz4 from the bookmarkbackups folder. Someone pointed me to use the https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/bookbackreader.html website but all the jsonlz4 files in the bookmarkbackups folder seems corrupted (or the format of files changed and his tool may need to be updated ?)
Example : File name: bookmarks-2019-01-19_2392_mKZssqkWMZt+Mqt-HOi68A==.jsonlz4; Size: 283114; last modified 18/01/2019 à 12:38:42 (failed JSON parsing: SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 21928) Note: To try a different file, reload this page Can't seem to acces the step 2 part even after waiting longer
4th step: tried to get old Backup of my FF Profiles with Windows 10 Shadow Copy System, "Shadow Explorer" or "System Restore Explorer" Found 3 backup wich I restored also, all bookmarks seems to get the same problem. I think I'll need to look in to this because It's not official Windows tools, but I'm really disapointed here.. I think I'll put them on md5sum tools to compare them for a start.
5th step : tried to repair my <places.sqlite> a (80MB files) which I found renamed to sqlite.corrupt. With the help of http://www.froebe.net/blog/2015/05/27/error-sqlite-database-is-malformed-solved/ , all I can get is a empty database at the end, but Im not a sqlite expert so if anyone has an idea :-)
So please, any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. (and sorry for my english)

Not sure when it started, but for the past few months, any video I watch on youtube or netflix has a ludicrous amount of dropped frames (anywhere from 30-90% drop rate), and I have no clue how to fix it, the most common answers I've found are are things like toggling Hardware Acceleration or "media.mediasource.webm.enabled", empty the cache, check internet connection, and so on, but nothing's worked. But videos on Dailymotion play fine, and when I load youtube in Microsoft Edge, the video runs smoothly.

My setting to have all pdf's opened with Adobe Reader keeps changing. It keeps going back to "save file." I don't know if Adobe updates break this feature but it's a real annoyance. I usually don't notice until I've clicked a pdf link - nothing happens - I click it a few more times and then find a bunch of copies on my desktop. I'm on a network at work and don't have any pdf plugins that would interfere.

I used to be able to file bookmarks by select shift select - so I could drag & drop into folders. Mac 0S 10.11.6 After upgrade to mojave (on a new machine) when I select - it opens the page.
Am I missing something in settings?
NOTE: On my new mac (2015 Mac Book PRO) I am able to drag and drop on my desktop & on other programs - Mail for instance - However, in Firefox I have to select one bookmark at a time to drag it. I have 100's to file HELP!
Thank you
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.3 current update as of yesterday Maybe the migration from my old Mac Book to the new one missed something. I thought the same setting would follow the migration.

Costco sign-in stopped working a few weeks ago (not sure, but I suspect it was a change in Firefox release). If I click the sign-in link on the costco.com website, nothing happens. Same if I try to go directly to that sign-in url (https://www.costco.com/LogonForm). I called Costco and was told the problem is known to them and is a Firefox browser issue. I have other browsers installed and they do not have the problem (Cyberfox, Opera, Avast, Chrome)

When I try to drag a tab into its own window, it will open up by itself and then a moment later all the other tabs that were open appear next to it. This tends to only happen when I try to drag the first tab out into its own window, if I try to drag one that's in the middle of the group it works as normal. I've only noticed this happening in the last few weeks as I recently switched back from Chrome to Firefox after not using it for a while. OS X Mojave.
I've uploaded a video of the bug here, showing that it only seems to affect the first tab: https://youtu.be/y3IoT6pbpl8

My Firefox seems to have completely broken. First of all, I noticed while on a news site, the browser was getting re-directed to a different news site. Then Firefox kept hanging. I uninstalled then reinstalled it, (and also "refreshed" it), and now it's showing "Your connection is not secure" for every single site I visit. This is worrying behaviour. Can anyone explain what's happening, and if there is a fix. Thanks.

I've got a website [works in all other browsers btw] that inconsistently manifests the following behaviour.
User clicks a button, which initiates a jQuery ajax call with type JSONP.
In developer tools, the following message appears:
Loading failed for the <script> with source "[my-cross-site-server-url]?callback=jQuery1124024932276037115453_1550849777698&dont_duplicate=1&api_key=.................&course_guid=...............&fname=&lname=&format=js&_=1550849777700”.
the query parameters are pertinent to the app.
Version is Firefox Quantum, 65.0.1 64 bit, running on OS X High Sierra.
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0
As we use errorception we also see this error on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0
Now it get's weird. Checking the content-length in the response is shown correctly [its about 3000 bytes], but response body is blank [just nothing displayed]. Still in the network tab you click "open in new tab", the response is there. Debugging the server, the response is there, and its a piece of code that's been in production for 5 years, and works in every other browser.
Also, it doesn't always happen [?], and I've tried safe mode, same behavior.
