Firefox
Firefox asks Zone Alarm firewall for new access several (many) times daily even though it has been granted at elevated privilege level.

I have Zone Alarm set to have new applications ask me to approve requests to access the Internet or system processes. With new programs, this approval process usually stabilizes in a few minutes or with a second use of the application. Firefox constantly asks for permission to access the Internet and sometimes systems processes virtually every time you load it and sometimes more often than that. In a busy day, it is not unusual to grant permission 20 or more times. I have been using Firefox for years and have Zone Alarm set to grant firefox.exe, pingsender, maintenance service, etc. "Super" privileges which means that it should not be asking. To be clear NO other among 30 or so programs that I use frequently have this problem. This is Firefox specific. The only similar issue I have observed is when my anti-virus completely changes out its main programs every few weeks. After that, I get a few requests for permission in the first 30 minutes before it stabilizes.

My suggestion is quite simple but will help users make their browsers feel more personal. It's having a built-in speeddial in the startpage instead of most visited websites. A speeddial similar that of Vivaldi, Opera or Yandex.
Id rather have this baked into the browser and not as a type of add-on.
I don't know where i should submit feedback on Firefox as it just brings me here.

The video portion of some YouTube videos freezes while the audio channel continues. I can advance the video using the slider, and the video will then play a few frames before it locks up again. Ths only happens with some videos, and there is nothing identifiable about those videos to differentiate them from videos that will play normally.
Initially, this problem appeared only if I right-clicked on a video to play it in a new tab, but now it seems to periodically happen regardless of which window.

I can't speak for the time-frame of the issue, because it stopped doing it almost entirely for a pretty long time, but as of an update or two ago my Mac has started working very hard whenever I watch videos in Firefox. This applies to YouTube, Vimeo, Amazon Prime, Netflix. The fans kick up, the computer temp rises a great deal as it gets very loud. Both my laptop and iMac have the same symptoms.
The first time I left Firefox and went to Chrome was for the same reason. I couldn't sit in a room with people and stream anything without jet engines joining the ambient noise level.
Is there a workaround?

FireFox ... are you kidding me .... "Missing Profile" .... this is so stupid, all I did was update my preferences now I can not open the application ... what !!!!!!!!!!!! ... and now I have to navigate to some stupid file folder .... NO ... You navigate to some stupid file folder and you overwrite, that's what you[FireFox] does. Give me break .... so what if I changed some stupid name ... of which I have not idea what name I changed ... if your software is so smart to know something is missing then you default to a default setting, you just don't send me into a stupid message box then close the application .... so stupid ...
Just a suggestion, when someone is installing your Browser ... you install everthing, evidently your software ignored the init file since it was already there .... so stupid ... I'm not solving this stupid issues, this is design failure.
I was already to leave Safari .... Hahahahaha .... good luck FireFox.

I've got several bookmarks sorted into folders. I want to create a new folder and put more bookmarks in it. This is easy to do, but FireFox puts the new folder at the bottom of the list. I want to move that new folder so it is farther up the list. I used to be able to do that by simply dragging and dropping the bookmark folder, but that no longer works.
All the tips I've found on the internet only tell me how to create a new folder and/or move bookmarks to an existing folder. They don't say how to move the folder itself. I see options in the "Library" window to sort alphabetically, but this is not what I want to do. I simply want to position the bookmark folder manually.
Can anybody help? I much appreciate your advice.

First, my problem is occurring on personal web page projects I work on. Every file is saved on and accessed from my local hard drive. My projects involve two frames...left frame is table of contents, right frame is the "main frame". I hide the table of contents until the mouse goes over to a certain part of the screen...when this happens, the contents frame "pops out". When the mouse leaves the contents frame, the frame hides itself again. Since the last Firefox update, (July 18 2019, I believe), the pop-out / hide functions aren't working. The frames still load in, but they won't pop out or hide when they're supposed to. They stay at whatever size I resize the frame to. In addition to this, my personal project pages are no longer loading in the fonts they are supposed to. Everything seems to be defaulting to the system (or Firefox) standard.
More Information: The pop-out / hide functions only seemed to ever work with Firefox. I never could get it to work with Opera / Chrome / IE. This is the main reason I stuck with Firefox for so long.
Is this an error that is going to be fixed, or a byproduct of a change that's been made that I'm just going to have to live with? I can provide more information if needed.

I installed the latest verion of Firefox today and Firefox tells me that it has been installed successfully. However I was notified that a crash dump was to be sent to Mozilla and there are a lot of files from the last Firefox update in the tobedeleted folder. How can I tell if the update was completely installed and can I safely delete the old files in the tobedeleted folder.

I'm using Firefox 68.0, 64 bit, on Win 10 Pro.
When I load up Firefox it takes a while (with a lot of disk activity) to load up. Maybe a minute or so at present, (it was longer until I manually cleared out extravagant amounts of data stored by sites that shouldn't have it).
When looking at the Manage Data functionality under the Privacy settings today, I saw that a large number of sites has their "last used" time marked as "3 minutes ago" which corresponded to the time Firefox was started up.
I looked through the sites involved. Over a hundred of them. Mostly sites that I haven't used for a long time, and not sites that the open pages have any links to (in other words these are not legitimate pre-fetches).
I manually selected the appropriate sites and removed cookies and data.
What is happening?
What default site setting/s can I use to prevent this sort of thing in future (on start-up)?
How do I programmatically access the "Manage Data" functionality? (I'd like to check sites what have gotten onto Firefox, how many cookies they have, how much data space they occupy, when last accessed, and remove their data should I wish. I don't want to do this repeatedly every few days, by hand.)
I've attached an image of the Manage Data screen taken about an hour after Firefox started, to illustrate.
Thanks.

I have 6 websites that automatically add the sites to my bookmarks, even when I am not on the site. I went there once and somehow they are populating my bookmarks with 100s of each site. Also, my folders are being duplicated. The attached image shows a sample of my bookmarks. When I set my mouse on the down arrow to scroll to the end, it takes 115 seconds to roll to the end at about 3 seconds per 40-line page scrolled. Current rough estimate is over 1600 bookmark/folder items. I went thru the editing 2 weeks ago, removing all unwanted bookmarks & folders.

The "ghost" caret also appears when I'm pressing left or right arrow keys to move the caret. It seems to be white, even when the real caret is black on white background. It is easily seen when a text field background is a dark color. It appears for about one frame, my screen refresh rate is 60Hz.
It doesn't seem to be a "fake" caret or merely a graphical element. When I'm editing a field of text, eg. in Google Docs, I've occasionally started editing or selecting text one character to the right. Like as if in that split second I just happened to send the keystroke when the ghost caret appeared. But because it was so brief, it is near impossible to replicate.
I've tried Firefox in safe-mode and there was no ghost caret. So I removed all add-ons/extensions, but the ghost caret still appears even if I have no extensions installed, which is why it's so baffling. I've refreshed and re-installed Firefox, both didn't work.
This "ghosting" only happens in Firefox, not in IE nor Chrome.
I used a screen capturing software and recorded this problem, then extracted a frame from the video to show the real caret and ghost caret side by side. Hope this better illustrates what I'm seeing. I have Dark Reader activated so the ghost caret can be easily seen. If Dark Reader isn't activated, it would be impossible to see due to the white background.
I do most of my work on cloud based platforms so this ghosting is very annoying and distracting. Or worse, could it be a keylogger or malicious program causing this?
Please help, Thank you!

Hi, I'm encountering a lot of lag in Firefox. Websites are loading incredibly slow, mostly after the information actually loads. I'm looking for an option to disconnect access to the internet for a webpage.
For example, Linkedin is the main contributor of this lag. It loads the visual webpage I see, then it loads a lot of information in the background. Until it finishes this background loading, I can't select any text. I'm looking for the option to stop this background loading. Something "stronger" than the button in the top left, where the refresh button is. I want to stop the webpage from being able to access the internet, is this possible?

Hi there The most recent update for #Firefox has a "bug fix" (1565315) for which the access to details are denied. That's peculiar for an open source project.

Running Mac OS10 and Firefox 68.0.1 on an iMac. I am able to log into Facebook but only get a blank, gray screen with the Facebook search bar at the top. Facebook loads and operates fine using other browsers on the same computer. Strong Internet connection. Other sites load just fine using Firefox. Here is what I have tried: disabling all Firefox add-ons and extensions, restarting in safe mode, clearing cache and cookies, clearing recent history, doing virus and malware scans (McAfee Total Protection 4.5.9), and even signing into Facebook as a guest. No luck. Any additional advice?
