Since the newest firefox update to version 97, when I open firefox all it shows me are blank tabs. It doesn't load any websites and when I restart it, it doesn't even show that it's loading a website either - it's just blank (and then I also can't access settings). I tried everything that is out there. I tried opening it in troubleshoot mode, I even reinstalled it, I checked for java and adobe flash players, I cleared all history. Sometimes it also just doesn't open when I try to. Is there anything I am missing that might help me get my beloved firefox back?

The Firefox browser won't load unless I restart my laptop. It works for a few minutes then I am unable to navigate web pages. I am not getting any error messages. If I use Microsoft edge I don't have issues.

After MickeySoft's Patch Tuesday today, I found that KB5010342 prevents Firefox from running. I'm running Win10 Pro with FF 97.0 64-bit and with this patch installed, FF opens with a blank screen and no DNS lookup or anything. Other browsers like Chrome or Edge load and work without issue. After manually uninstalling this patch, Firefox again works like it should.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

Submitting using Chrome, which may have to become my default browser.

Firefox 96.0. Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.22000 Build 22000

Since installing FF 96, the program has stopped loading pages. Will not even load home page. Starting in troubleshooting mode sometimes works, but sometimes does not.

No extensions are installed.` I have tried Refreshing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Neither helps. Multiple instances of FF are started with every launch, even when the launch results in a blank page.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you,

Steven Sacks

Long story short, today I received v97. Firefox would no longer open websites. Settings would not open. about:config would not open. Tried killing my profiles. Complete clean installs. None of it worked. Something is 100% wrong with v97, at least for my system. I can install 94 no problem. 96.0.3 no problem. As soon as 97 hits, everything breaks.

I love firefox and would love to troubleshoot the issue, but it's not possible. Most of the time, v97 won't even open, so launching the troubleshooter mode is impossible. And if it does open, selecting troubleshooter results in a crash.

No idea if any of this is helpful, but this is what one of them spat out:

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

I opened Firefox today like I do every day and every tab I open gives me nothing. I thought the internet might be down, but after talking with co-workers, they have internet. I opened Chrome and Edge, and can connect to websites with no problems. I can't do anything on Firefox right now. I couldn't even connect with support through Firefox. I restarted my computer twice hoping that would be a good starting point, but no change in Firefox.

After the Firefox 97 upgrade, no pages will load. No hourglass. No error message. Just blank. Internal FF pages like about:config are the same. Ctrl + B for the bookmark sidebar works intermittently on new tabs, but not on the stuck/blank/non-loading URLs.

Tried reinstalling FF, no luck. 1 old profile worked briefly w/ 97, but only until the next restart. Creating a fresh profile w/ 97 had same error.

Reverting to FF 96 and everything works fine. Assuming you have a backup of your user profile, as 96 won't load the profile once 97 had broken/upgraded it...

This is a Dell Precision 7760 w/ Win 10 Pro, about 6 months old.

1 older machine, running Win 10 Home & synced FF to same account upgraded to 97 and is working fine.

Have temporarily had to disable auto updates until some way to solve this issue is found.

Will not load anything. It will start up in a new tab, cannot open about:config, cannot open settings, bookmarks, nothing. It will not go anywhere, do anything or show anything at all.

After the most recent "upgrade", I cannot access my old tabs and there is no restore previous session option under history, plus everything is exceedingly slow. How do I contact a staff member? What is a telephone number for support?

Firefox stopped responding. Seems the page is incomplete when loading. I tried a refresh, that didn't work so I tried an uninstall and reinstalled ff. that didn't work either. seems like its bugged or has a virus. I uninstalled it. Now I am a little reluctant to install it again. Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions? Thanks, John

After starting PC and /or laptop clicking Firefox on taskbar fails. OK after re-start but re-occurs if closed. Have been opening several Firefox blank Tabs to use that day. (Whilst trying to remmeber not to close them all: otherwise back to Re-start PC). Is this anothe dastadly trick from Microsoft Edge? I hate it!

I've had this browser installed on my computer for about a year. It is worth noting that, all of the browsers worked perfectly fine before. However, after roughly 3 weeks of regularly seeing that all of the browsers on my Windows 10 PC (Opera, Firefox, Tor) except Chrome browser don't seem to start up. When I run Firefox.exe, it opens for a fraction of a second, displays a text box, and then closes. I tried recording my screen to understand what's written more clearly, and it said "Profile Missing". But not the familiar profile missing error. this one closes immediately, and with no text, only the title. It is also important to mention that all of the files associated with the browser also won't open, except helper.exe. For example, this command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P to open the profile manager will show the same error.

Things I tried:

1. Refreshing the browser. 2. Uninstalling and reinstalling. 3. Removing the appdata profiles folder. 4. Installing other versions of Firefox. 5. Scanning for malware with 3 different Antivirus programs.

And so far non of these methods worked. I would like to get an answer on how to fix this. Thanks.

When attempting to load websites in firefox, i enter a URL into the address bar and hit enter and then... Nothing. It's like Firefox isn't even attempting to begin a connection to websites. I have tried multiple uninstall/reinstalls of the program, I have removed all extensions I can, I've attempted clearing my cache, none of these things worked. the version I have installed is 97.0.

after I installed the update this morning it will not start or i have to start off the taskbar. the reset does NOT WORK. I also did a clean install after deleting it from the reg and so forth as well. same problem and if i am running a different web browser it will not start even. It used to run that way with no problem before the update. I could have a different web browser on watching the us senate and it will still start. now forget it, it keeps crashing or non start.

Last night Firefox was running fine. I closed everything and left for a couple of hours. When I came back and opened Firefox everything was blank. There was a blank open tab, no response to any input in the address bar, nothing. So, I closed the window and tried again - this time it didn't even open. However, Task Manager showed Firefox running with 6-7 entries, all of which I used "End Task" on. I rebooted the computer and nothing had changed. It wouldn't open but it showed up a few times in Task Manager. I tried a Refresh - no change. I tried reinstalling - no change. I uninstalled and tried reinstalling - no change.

Finally, in desperation, I uninstalled, used "RegEdit" and deleted every entry I could that had "Firefox" in it. Then I reinstalled fresh - Firefix Installer didn't know it had ever been on my computer. Same result.

Honestly, I'm completely out of ideas. I can't try anything in Firefox because it won't open and I've deleted all the files and reinstalled and still no joy. Obviously, there is some file it's trying to use that is corrupted or something that isn't just a part of Firefox.

Any suggestions???

I am setting up new laptop running windows 10. I have installed Firefox browser several times with same result. Once installed Firefox will not launch reliably. If I restart computer, firefox will sometimes launch. Very frustrated, have used Firefox for 10 years on several machines with no issues. I am running Firefox 96.03 on a different laptop with no issues. Can I upload an older version of Firefox on my new laptop or can you help me fix the new version so it will work?

This morning I launched Firefox on my PC by opening a link in discord, I was greeted with a blank page, the link showed up in the search-bar and the tab icon shows up, but there was no content whatsoever on the rest of the page. I tried restoring my last browsing session, and all tabs where similarly blank. Attached an image of what I see on a new tab page as well as any other page. The only settings menu I was able to open was "more troubleshooting info" page, by which i mean it is the only thing that actually loaded any content. Things I have tried: -Refreshing Firefox. It seem to go through the process, but when it is done the pages are similarly blank. -Uninstalling, then reinstalling. I reset my computer after uninstalling and then re-downloaded Firefox, same results. -Logging out of Firefox. I didn't really expect this to do anything but tried just in case. -Refreshing the cashe. I used the shortcut to open the browser history clear, and cleared cookies and cashe. -Opening Firefox in safe mode, has the same issue. -Used my anti-malware Webroot Security to check my computer for malware, nothing turned up. -Re-allowing Firefox through windows firewall. Did this by removing it from the list of allowed programs, then adding it again. -Ensuring my compatibility preferences didn't have anything selected. -Through the troubleshooting page I was able to access the about:config page (this page would not load if i opened a new tab and typed in about:config, ONLY if I changed the URL from about:support, the only page i could load, to about:config) and ensuring that browser.newtabpage.enabled was set to true.

Firefox is working perfectly fine on my laptop, and I was working last night on my PC, the only difference being that was a small windows update. It has never done this before.

Dear Sir:

   Over the past two days I have had problems with Foxfire browser not opening websites.  I have cleared history, refreshed, uninstalled and reinstalled the browser several times. This is a problem with both my laptop and my desktop. The desktop will not even arrive at the opening screen.  Microsoft Edge works.  AOL works. I have screened for viruses.  The tabs are blank and they keep churning.
     I am running Windows 10 on both computers. I have gone thru the Control panel series of steps to make sure Foxfire is enabled properly with Windows 10 firewall.
     I can get to the opening screen of Foxfire, but none of my bookmarks work.
    For instance, I can sometimes access Yahoo Finance, but only when I open and close tabs that don't work several times using the box links to the several common websites featured in the opening screen for Foxfire. When I do the same routine with the Pocket recommended links the tabs open but just keep churning.
   When I try to open Fidelity.com, neither clearing history, nor accessing through a Google Search nor from my favorite meets with any success. I've tried every means I know to open Fidelity.
      Appreciate any suggestions.       Michael W. Styga
