Hello,

I submitted my initial request August 17, 2024. 

You responded you were working on the problem. Today, September 13, 2024, the problem remains. My history continues to pile up, and my cookies and cache will not clear.

This is the second time I am clearly stating my request. Please read below.

Thank You, A.B. Brown

Hello,

On Wednesday, July 17, 2024, and years prior to this date; in fact since I first got my laptop, I was able to clear my cookies and cache. I would go to my menu, select History and select Clear Recent History. The box to clear my cookies and cache would show, and I would click on Clear. When I would go back to the menu, and select History, it would show Empty.

On Thursday, July 18, 2024, and since, I have not been able to clear my cookies and cache. All the days of entries since July 18. 2024 are piling up.

I certainly do not know what changed. I would appreciate your listing step by step what I need to do to get my cookies and cache to work/clear.

Or, if you can just fix the problem, please. My laptop is Windows 10, and I use Firefox. Thank you.

Regards, A.B. Brown

We use the "Shopping" tab to view comparison products daily. Problem has started some months ago.

Results of searches used to stay on screen in a "scrollable" pattern at topline and below all others would be from near and far... Now we always get a 1sec flash with results like before then the disappear. Showing only random locations and hard to see the comparison in those results... We no longer see Trademe, Temu and other businesses as that result disappears very quickly. Cant find anything else to change in settings if its location related or other??

Hopefully this make sense? ;) We are running Win10, and FF 130.0.1 - location is set to New Zealand.

TIA Chris

For some time now Firefox will not show some videos. Like many other users of Firefox I have to begrudgingly switch to Chrome to see the video. I have tried most of the advise on the internet and reinstalled Firefox but the problem continues. This never use to happen. All videos played. It has only started in last few months. I see many other people have same problem with Firefox. It would be nice if Firefox was to change it back to working on all videos again. Thank you.

I cannot open firefox. The error box says that the platform version 130.0.1 is not compatible with the maxversion 130.0 or the minversion 130.0. It looks as if the upgrade to 130.0.1 was incomplete. I need to have this fixed

Firefox doesn't open up any windows, even though it is on and its top menu appears, but the menu does nothing. It happened after I hid it while working on another app, and it would not re-appear. I uninstalled that version and re-installed the latest version from your website, but it's having the same problem. I went to disk utility (on my 2020 iMac running 11.7.10) and it showed nothing wrong/corrupt on my hard drive. Is the problem my old OS? Thank you, Alicia

I'm using Firefox 130.00 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) running Catalina (10.15.7). It has run flawlessly for years, but suddenly won't open, and only hangs, requiring me to Force Quit. It stopped working on Thursday, 9/12, which, I notice, was the day it was last modified with an automatic upgrade. I have quit and tried restarting multiple times, but am unable to get into it at all and, therefore, cannot access Troubleshooting Mode. I have NOT yet tried deleting it and downloading a fresh copy. I would like, if possible, to retain my open tabs, Bookmarks, and History.

Please advise—and many thanks!

Firefox is my preferred browser. Lately however, I cannot log into my online banking account with PNC. When I insert my PNC log-in information...username and password.....I get a tab that reads "Challenge Validation" and the browser window says "Not Found". Just as an fyi, if I switch to Google Chrome I can log-in to my PNC online account.

Any help or suggestions to be able to use Firefox???

In the past on this web page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ there used to be a link to see what was updated in each new release.

It's gone!

Can you please bring it back? If not, where can I find what's update in each new release?

Found the release info here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/desktop-release/win64/en-US/

To whom it may concern, My firefox on a Mac running 14.7.1 crashes on every site that I try to access. It goes to the below image that states "gah, etc". I have sent in mutliple crash reports and followed the troubleshooting on the forums. Steps followed so far -Restarted Firefox -Restarted Mac - Cleared Cache and temporary files -Cleared startup cache -disabled extensions -refreshed firefox -upgraded Mac OS

My next option seems to be to uninstall the programs and reinstall it, but I am worried about losing all saved information including passwords, bookmarks, etc. I cannot even access mozilla's site nor the ability to turn sync on.

Any thoughts would be welcome. Thank you, Adam

Youtube videos and Twitch live streams are freezing and whenever I refresh the page the video/live stream is just black. The audio still continues to play and I have no idea what is causing it. I only have 3 extensions installed (Ublock Origin, Youtube Sponsor Block, and Truffle) and have even tried removing them to no success. The only way to fix it has been to close and reopen Firefox, but it usually doesn't fix it for long. Its even started crashing any games I've been playing when I close Firefox. I'll try to get a video to show the issue.

I have windows 10, I have 2 browsers. google Chrome and Firefox. when I go to certain sights they say I have an ad blocker, I can not find one on chrome and looked here? I don't know why they don't show up if I have one? help

I do not have the box checked to update address, yet the pop up to update address continuously pops up. How do I get rid of this. It is extremely annoying and time consuming.

On some accounts, everything is fine. But on others, such as Costco.com and Wise.com, when I click on the sign-in tab after filling in my ID and password, nothing happens.

-- The problem just started recently -- Sign in works just fine on Chrome
