I'm using Apple OS 10.13 with Firefox 68.0.2. At least once or twice a week, when browsing (different, not always the same) sites in Firefox, my computer gets locked up: either, 1) the cursor moves along with the mouse but can't click anything, and the machine can be SSH'd into but %sudo kill -KILL doesn't stop any of the processes (I tried to kill mozilla process and then the loginwindow, as an effort to find a way out of the lock state that's gentler that a hardware reset), or 2) the cursor doesn't move and SSH server doesn't respond. Either way, I have to physically turn the machine off and on to continue. I don't understand how a user-level process can lock up the whole thing, but it didn't used to happen - it started a few weeks ago. What can I do?

Windows 10 (1903). Quite often I find that sync never completes, the spinning wheel, it just keeps spinning. I have to exit Firefox and restart, and upon restart I need to kill the previous Firefox instance. Then, and only then, will sync work. But not for long, usually in a few hours it's hung up again. This only happens on my Windows 10 machine (sync works fine with my FF mobile and Windows 7 devices).

It happens from time to time. Maybe three times a day. When I press the button, it does not get activated. As far as I know, one solution is to turn off visible file extension in File Explorer, but I do like those extensions; they are very useful, so I do not want to do this. Here is one link which I was not able to save. And, after I browsed some other pages and returned to that page, i was able to save it without problems. Why is it so random? My antivirus is turned off. P.S. And now I was not able to close a Private window after I clicked the Close button many times. PSS. I guess, I tried to save the image after clicking on another image, so the name of the old image was going to become the name of the new image. Please, help, and thank you!

This is happening on the 2 computers we use in the house. It happens occasionally but is consistent. Out of nowhere a tab will open a malware loaded webpage. The webpages do differ but they are always infected pages. The pages that the current tab would be open at before the malware page is loaded are reputable sites so it is not that we are on untrustworthy webpages to begin with.
I have run the following scans yet nothing is found: 1) AVG Free (that is our installed anti-malware program) 2) Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller 3) HitmanPro 4) Malwarebytes AdwCleaner 5) Malwarebytes 6) Microsoft Safety Scanner 7) SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition 8) Zemana AntiMalware
Don't know what I can do to find the source of this problem and fix it.

On my lap top yesterday and my desktop, Firefox has logged my off and blocked me to my New York Times subscription. Different machines, different locations, different broadband providers. Whatever I do Firefox prevents a login. I have no problems with either Edge or Chrome, but Firefox has long been my preferred browser. Now my preferred browser is preventing me from accessing a favored website. I contacted the NYT and they suggested it was Firefox problem. Help. Thank you

Under options, I have Firefox set to restore my previous session when it reopens. Most of the time it does this just fine, but twice this summer it has lost all of my previous tabs. I read about, and found the recovery.jsonlz4 and recovery.baklz4 files, but they include only the tabs from the current session, not any of the former tabs. I often have dozens to hundreds of tabs open, and this is mightily annoying. Any ideas why this happens, how to prevent it in the future, and is there any hope of finding those lost tabs? I'm strongly considering ditching Firefox for another browser.

ubuntu 16.04, firefox 68.0.1. New instance started after "updated in background" restart just sits there. Add-ons are not started, tabs are not restored as promised. Typing in URL bar and hitting enter does nothing. No response to attempt to open a bookmark. Typing "about:support", no response. I tried removing and re-installing firefox with "sudo apt", no help. Starting firefox without addons, no help. The "about:firefox" display shows no change in version number. A reboot is the only thing that cures this. It has now happened 8 times (8/2, 8/5, 8/9. 8/16 and 4 times earlier). I have about-buildconfig, about-firefox and about-support from 8/2 and 8/5 if they would be helpful.

Hola que tal, hace 2 meses me mude de chrome a firefox en mis 3 computadoras, linux, mac, (windows 10) y iphone X
En windows 10 1903 es donde apenas e instalado firefox, pero me esta dando problemas. cada ves que entro a una pagina segura a iniciar sesion me aparece el siguiente error de pestaña.
( Uy. Tu pestaña ha fallado. ¡Podemos ayudarte!
Selecciona Restaurar esta pestaña para recargar la página. )
En about:crashes no me aparece ningún error.
Al reiniciar en modo seguro funciona muy bien, nada de errores. al volver a modo normal desactivo las 4 extensiones que uso, y desactivo acelarcion por hardware pero el problema siempre sigue.
Ayuda por favor, no quiero empezar a mudarme de nuevo Gracias!!

I am using Firefox version 68.0.1 on my laptop with Ubuntu 18.04LTS. Browser is Google.uk Every time I start Firefox it gives two homepages instead of one. This means if I start typing something too quickly - some of the type goes on the first homepage and some on the second ! I find this very annoying.
File upload causes Firefox to be unresponsive and must close browser to continue. Tried all the fixes. Other browsers fine. Several computers.
Please if you have any suggestions, I'll try them. I thought a new clean computer might solve the problem, but no luck there either.

I've posted this in the Firefox section as I did not see a section for queries relating to the Mozilla support website (support.mozilla.org) itself. Every time I visit a page on support.mozilla.org on my Windows machine, Bitdefender is declaring that it is blocking a web threat. The threat in question is surveygizmobeacon.s3.amazonaws.com/beaconconfigs/[large string of letters and numbers].json
I am only getting this alert when I visit a page on support.mozilla.org.
Can anyone advise on what is causing this?

Could this note be referred please, to the FF programming manager? First my congrats on FF overall of course, to you and your many volunteers. But I notice a large philosophical programming problem which you might consider.
This problem mostly shows with multiple tabs open. Web servers certainly are slow, and many pages' Html etc poor. This all results in lots of delays such as reported during:
Waiting for () Read () Transferring data from () Performing a TLS handshake to () Connecting to ()
These display the moving "working" dot in the left of the affected tab title. And less often, "(not responding)" in FF's title bar, which eventually gets cleared automatically.
I have reviewed all 17 screens, and a number of the individual results, from today's FF forum search of:
169 results for (not responding) for Firefox
None address the lack of prioritized co-operative multi-tasking/ threading, DURING such delays as "Waiting for ()". During such a necessary wait, it is very slow at best, e.g. for a user to switch tabs. Even to one which is ready for display.
Responsiveness to user input should be the top multi-tasking priority. Tab switching. Rendering/ display of the foreground tab. Scrolling that down. Tab closing by user!, and "X" to STOP a page from loading -- give those user clicks priority. Let's not have to wait 10 seconds for a right-click to open its option box. Let the other busy tabs finish up their work, overlapped in the background priority-wise.
This could be done now, but perhaps it would be difficult for volunteer programmers. Worse case might require a custom replacement, for the effective TCP part of the default vanilla TCP/IP stack. However I suspect a lot could be fixed short of that, with the correct management encouragement and guidelines. At least if the continuous motion of the "busy dot" indicator in the tab title is a task, just change that to something like just gray-ed out while busy.
My experience is with much headroom: CPU (50%), memory, disk, and network bandwidth, per Task Manager. NO McAfee. Mainly just ZoneAlarm taking 30% of that CPU 50% usage. This is not a problem with start-up delay. And delays within only one open tab are necessary, of course. Cheers
I cannot login to outlook.com in Firefox. It doesn't work in safe mode either. How can I fix this?
