Firefox Community Forum

For over a month, videos are just buffering in youtube and facebook. I can change browsers and they play just fine. I have re-booted my system and it still does it. BTW, I have a fast cable internet provider.

For some reason all of my bookmarks are gone. I have tried all the suggested fixes and it's still not working. Don't know where they went but I would sure like to have them back. Plus, now when I try to bookmark a page its not accepting it. :(

Hello. I have this problem for almost a year now. There are websites where my Firefox crashes constantly and I can't use it at all for browsing them. All such websites are mostly online stores where you can buy something by putting it into cart and then proceeding to order page. I can't even scroll through product pages, it crashes in second after opening the webpage. For example, ozon.ru

This happens in Troubleshoot Mode too.

Firefox 128.8.0esr (64-bit) Debian 11 (bullseye) Xfce 4.16

One of the recent crash reports: bp-a94b8ff4-9b5d-4909-8948-d6e120251030

Upgraded my Mac to Apple OS TAHOE 26.0.1 and upgraded to Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch 64). Upon opening Firefox, the application hogs my computer's 8 GB memory, taking 6.3-7.9 gigs (!!!) with only one tab opened! When I try to browse and use it, it often freezes and for the first time in using MACs for 40 years I got a warning for excessive memory usage and prompt to force quit other apps. Firefox in this version is practically unusable (unless I get 16 gigs of memory!) I think guys that this version uses an excessive amount of resources, needs serious "diet" and compacting. Please fix our favorite browser in a trimmer new version. Or after 30 years nearly I (and many others with * gig machines) will have to switch default browser, not my favorite solution for sure

I have just started a new job and installed the Firefox browser on my PC (W11) as part of setting up my new workstation. The application works fine until I get a message that Firefox needs to install an update, 'please close it or it will close automatically in one hour'. After the update I get a message that the update is complete and you can restart the application, but the application no longer works; the icon on the application list no longer works 'The item firefox.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved'. After re-installing Firefox it works OK again, but the process repeats. Although I have managed to succesfully update a new installation on two occasions, after a few days the process repeats and I need to re-install again.

Prior ti the most recent update, an initial tab always connected to a frequently accessed page, which in my case is a news site. The update has now lost that behavior. Is there a flag that I can set that will restore that behavior? Also I have Firefox as a startup app but it has again working. I have it as a startup app in Win 10 and is settings, is there anywhere else that i could be flagging as a startup app?

Firefox is not deleting search history when using Clear Recent History. The URLs still appear in the Show All History.

In Settings under Privacy and Security, the box is ticked for Delete cookies and site data, and also for Clear history when Firefox closes. I have manually cleared cookies and site data and history within Settings, but the it still remains under History even when I've closed Firefox and restarted the PC.

Under Sync, the box for History is not ticked.

This has been happening for some time without me realising. I have now deleted pages.sqlite and this has cleared the history, but it still retains all new site data under History and will not clear it.

I have disabled then uninstalled anti-virus, I have removed CCleaner because this was also not deleting history.

And I've also reinstalled Firefox, but the problem persists.

What am I doing wrong please?

I am using Windows 11.

Another site that I can only view in Chrome. I'm not saying this happens every day, but still more often than it should. This is in about:support/troubleshooting mode. Won't get beyond what you see. Loads right up in Chrome.

Directv link text

I can still get to https://www.directv.com/

When I discover that I have already bookmarked a URL, I want to easily discover in which of my folder(s) I have saved the bookmark. In some cases, the hosting site morphs the bookmarked URL with a redirect, so I am unable to discover the containing folder by browsing to the URL. Sigh. I would also like to discover situations where I have already bookmarked a single URL in several different folders.

I have downloaded the JSON for my bookmarks file and parsed the JSON. I now know that I have 7388 URLs bookmarked which are saved across 111 folders.

I am having trouble discovering the parent/child relationships between the various folders in which the bookmarks are saved. I have several situations where child folders have the same names and can be identified only when the child's parent folder is known.

Undated Firefox documentation at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../BookmarkTreeNode#parentid] suggests that each node in the bookmark tree should have a parentid and an index. I see an index but I do not see a parentid. I do see a GUID field. I have seen comments suggesting that parentid has been replaced by GUID.

But the values I see (GUID=FqNNI0k91ZjW, for example) do not make sense and have no connection to the ID fields (ID=2658, for example).

Can anyone help me make sense of the GUID values I am seeing? Are GUIDs now being hashed for some reason?

I cannot get into the "Directv" url with firefox. i can on my Iphone. Beloiw is the error message i get.
