For the past 2 weeks Firefox has been repeatedly crashing soon after going on to certain sites or trying to apply my 2FA authenticator add-on.
Suddenly there's a screen shudder and a new window opens, inviting me to submit a crash report. See attached image.
I do not believe that this is down to Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade done at end of August.
But it's enough for me to largely go over to Chromium and Firefox Dev Ed.
If Mozilla don't act on this crashing I can see its market being lost fairly fast.

This video file cannot be played.(Error Code: 102630). - This is the error i get when i try to play this movie .
Context : - I upgraded to the latest version of firefox and i also connected my dns to nextdns recently. - I use arch linux and firefox on linux. - Previously all the videos on the site were playing nicely but now it has started showing this error. - I have tried many solutions such as :- 1. Clearing cookies, cache,etc and refreshing firefox . 2. Installing media codecs onto my pc using console. 3. Deactivating the dns and disabling hardware acceleration. 4. Restarting my pc but nothing works.
I was wondering if someone has a solution to this.

i'm using peppermint 1.0 with Firefox browser 113.0.2. my bank says i need to upgrade to FFox 115 Linux. I can't access accts til i upgrade. i can't find 115 nor does the system auto upgrade like it says using the "about firefox" ... this is as far as i can get. suggestions, anyone? here's a screencap. Gosh, the thought of returning to Windows makes me very uncomfortable. I see lots of folk are having this sort of problem.

Hello everyone, i have Linux/Ubuntu software with Firefox browser and for 5 months it has not asked me to update, with it's pop up message. Now it is urgently asking me to update, i have followed the directions given in order to download the latest Firefox version as instructed but with no success. I am downloading it, but it doesn't have an instruction to "run" it. As a consequence, my system is getting slower and slower and i am afraid it will crush! Any ideas? Sooooos!!!

I am running Firefox 132.0.2 on Pop_OS, using Gnome. I have a dual monitor setup, with my leftmost monitor being a 1080p set as portrait, and my main being a 4K set as landscape.
Every time I open Firefox, the window is exactly 1080 pixels large, no matter what I do. I can of course resize it, but it's frustrating having to do that every time.
If I tell Gnome that my secondary monitor is on the RIGHT side of my primary, everything works perfectly: Firefox stays the size it is when I close it.
It seems that Firefox uses my leftmost monitor's size to determine the maximum windows width, and even overwrites my xulsettings.json every time I close it.
I tried different builds, and even different forks suck as librewolf: no difference. I can´t of course change the position of how my monitors are placed on my desk.
Any ideas?
What do I have to do: Firefox enables fields only with ALT-Shift f. I want to click on an field with my mouse for entering data. Thank you for help.

Hello guys,
The trouble I ll present you might come a bit late, I've just never thought about asking on this forum (didn't even know that it exists lol) and I spent a lot time on tutorials trying to find the solution... lol 😩
My situation : I have a laptop with debian 12 stable. Early July, I updated my apps, Firefox 128 has just been released. Since the Firefox 128 update, I can no longer execute Firefox, I always get the pop up message :
Failed to execute child process (no such file or directory)
I've tried many times to uninstall & reinstall, purge & reinstall. Still the same "failed to execute... " message. all the subsequent updates (128.X and 129.X) haven't solved this problem...
On the other hand, Firefox ESR 128 works like a charm.
Is anyone in the same situation as me ? 😕
Wishing you a nice day :)

A problem with an x.0 version? I've been using FF from "source code" for years on Debian Linux, but this is the first time such an update is failing after the most recent update to v133.0, as illustrated in attached image. How can I now update to the fix for this problem, please?

G'Day!
I've been having issues with media playback on firefox.
Almost any video source that isn't from youtube cannot play in firefox, giving the error: "No Video with supported format and MIME type found"
Testing the same video on Chromium has no problems.
Using Fedora Linux on an AMD system. And Fedora Flatpak build.
System specs below if required.
Any idea to get this up and running would be really appreciated. I think I already installed the propriety media codecs for fedora since the problem isn't showing up on chromium it looks like a firefox issue.

Hello guys, as in title - I use custom NextDNS set of rules on DNS-over-HTTPS. As of today, Firefox can't connect to the provider. AFAIK Troubleshoot Mode is also affected. The other devices using NextDNS on my network work just fine and when I set the DNS to work system-wide as a kind of workaround, I don't get an issue. Same when I use other DNS-over-HTTPS options in the Firefox Preferences. Yesterday the problem didn't occur and I haven't performed any updates since yesterday - both Firefox and NetworkManager seem to be up to date.

i was using firefox with multiple tabs for most of today, had to shut pc down to run errands. When i restarted pc, firefox would not start, i have it pinned on my task bar/start menu/whatever. I opened my system moniter to see what was going on when i tried to start firefox and the processes do not show up in the process list. I tried a reinstall with the ubuntu software store and no noticeable change in behavior. Not sure how to get into the profile section, the option for it with a right click on the firefox icon does nothing seemingly. Under normal operations i have seen two firefox processes listed.

Running Firefox 133.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 desktop
Periodically, Firefox will freeze and send the message "Firefox must be restarted to continue". After restarting, Firefox takes a long time to recover. This morning, it took nearly 5 minutes to recover.

I seem to have a problem with Firefox's builtin PDF viewer. Instead of black text on a white or gray background or something else sensible, I get black text floating over my desktop background in the part of the Firefox window that's showing a PDF. PDFs display fine in an external viewer, but that's just passing the buck, isn't it? Is there a way to fix this on Firefox?
I suspect hardware acceleration is the issue, but everything else seems fine, so I don't want to just blanket disable hardware acceleration. How can acceleration for PDFs alone be disabled?

We ask this today, August 20, 2024, in the hope of finding a current solution to a question that has been asked for years:
How to prevent Firefox from updating?
When we search for this answer online, we find many answers -- all of which seem outdated. The many solutions from many years ago (which appear at the top of search listings) no longer work or are no longer available.
We like Firefox. otherwise we would not even bother asking. But we do not like that it appears users are losing the ability to customise their Firefox experience. We do not like that updates will sometimes break the way that we use Firefox. And we especially do not like that Firefox has become increasingly difficult to constrain.
If we wanted software that does not respect us we have many other other options.
What we want is: the option to tell Firefox that we will continue using this specific version of Firefox for as long as we wish, even if that leads to many terrible things. Yes, we want to know what those terrible things might be and to understand the implications of skipping this new update, but we want to make that informed decision; we do not want updates shoved down our throats.
For those running Ubuntu (Jammy) in August of 2024 how does one successfully prevent Firefox (recent) from updating? We would prefer a menu option but will accept a third-party solution if necessary. We want, among other things, to put a stop to the ominous "in X days we will install the update regardless of your obvious intentions to avoid an update" messages.
(We had these same issues back when we used Windows. The ability to prevent Firefox from updating seems to have been lost many years ago.)
Helpful responses are welcomed and appreciated.

Firefox does not seem to be properly configured for Wayland on KDE Plasma 6.x systems. The generic "Wayland" logo appears in task switcher instead of the Firefox logo. Firefox is the only program I have with this issue. Setting desktop name (org.mozilla.firefox) as a property in the Window and Application Manager settings does not resolve the issue.

Hi! I'm running Linux Mint right now, but this also happened on Windows, I copied the profile from Windows so I suspect that is likely why.
When I go to about:logins, I see none of the accounts listed. Even when I input a search in the search box, nothing. I don't know what could be causing this. See attached screenshots. Don't worry, there's no concern of leaking account details, because they aren't showing up.

When enabling advanced user mode in uBlock Origin, a matrix of elements is presented when opening the dashboard. The matrix allows selecting either a gray noop or red block configuration.

When I copy something to my clipboard I can paste it into Firefox. Into web pages and also into the URL bar.
But when I copy something in Firefox, it does not go to the clipboard. The clipboard still hast the content which was already there.
Also strange: When I cut text in a textarea, input element or the URL bar, the text is removed. But it is not sent to the clipboard. When I cut and paste, the text I get is what was previously in the clipboard.
What could be the cause? How can I debug this problem?
