Fixed a startup crash in Linux KDE5/Plasma5 with `chmod 1777 /dev/shm` Cryptic crash message in konqueror:

[7322, Main Thread] WARNING: failed to open shm: Permission denied: file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/ipc/chromium/src/base/shared_memory_posix.cc, line 246 ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump

Key phrase: "shm permission denied" - ignore the rest.

Spent a half hour trying to add the fix to the crash reports, found no way to do that. Once the cause of the crash is fixed, there is no way to add that information to the crash report. Developers just get bombed with crash reports every time I click Restart.

These should be closed with a note to check /dev/shm permissions. The '1777' was changed after a system update.

I don't want Firefox to memorize my street address or automatically fill in forms with it. I've unchecked "autofill addresses" and there are no memorized addresses. I've unchecked "remember search and form history." But I just went to a website I don't believe I've ever been to, and there was my street address filled in. How do I stop that?

I logged in as a different user on Windows 10 PC. When I opened FF the browser was different, it didn't have the Webroot Webfiltering Shield icon (however it did have the LastPass icon on it). I used the SYNC tool but it still didn't add that plugin.

I have enabled all push notifications in google chat options and agreed for those notifications in firefox. Still it's not working for me. I can't see any notifications when I recieve message and all what is happening I hear "ding" and that's all.

This mini menu often appears when clicking with the trackpad when I am in middle of editing a video or something. It often interferes with my other operations and if I accidentally choose one of the items in the menus the consequences are bad. Is there an option to disable this very annoying feature?

I am running with ubuntu 18.04.3 and firefox 75

This is strange and i can't figure it out. I will be browsing along and, suddenly, I am in a new window. When this happens the current tab becomes a new window. As an interesting aside I also notice that the firefox icon does not show me that I now have two windows open. My suspicion is that I am pressing a wrong key but I can't seem to be able to do it on purpose so I have no idea what I am doing to cause this, or how to stop it.

thank you...........

With two tabs in use, my fully updated Firefox uses 350 MB of memory or more, about 36% of available memory on this 2013 Windows 10 Pro Dell.

Is this level of memory usage typical, or possibly indicative of a problem?

[Background: My only problem is some web pages taking a long time to load, which could have many possible causes of course. I do employ most of the available security protection in Firefox Options/Privacy and Security, judt use Windows security software for monitoring, show no viruses on Malwarebytes.... I have never before now looked at Task Manager Processes with just a browser running, nothing else. I have checked out the online recommendations.]

I have the following entries in the 'Manage Permissions' section;

http://google.com Block https://google.com Block http://google.ca Block https://google.ca Block http://youtube.com Block http://youtube.ca Block

However, I still get a youtube.com cookie whenever I watch a video. How do I prevent this?

Aside - yes, I am aware that blocking this cookie breaks some youtube content - I'm good with that. Also, why do I need to put each website in twice? (for http and https) I can't really think of a scenario where I'd want to block one and permit the other.

I am able to log in to any Firefox service with no problems except Firefox Send. It used to work but now only gives an error message. I tried in Safe Mode with Add-Ons Disabled and it still didn't work. It sends me an email each time I try saying there was a new log in but it never actually lets me log in.

I am having the same problem as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1459780 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479607

I had accidentally deleted the email address I use from my email server before trying to sign back in to Firefox Sync. I added it back, and made sure that it works. However, it is impossible for me to sign in at all any more because I'm getting the "Your Email was just Returned. Mistyped Email?" error.

Please remove my email address from the bounce list so that I can sign in.

Hi!

With the current version of Firefox installed on a Macbook and an Android phone and Firefox Sync (only bookmarks selected) setup on both of them, I can sync on both device without any error message.

After the sync, there is a new "Desktop Bookmarks" folder on the Android phone which contains all bookmarks from the Mac – nice!

On the Mac, however, the bookmarks from the Android phone don't show up. Searching for a bookmark created on the Android phone prior to the sync returns nothing on the Mac.

In the old days, there used to be a top level item "Mobile Bookmarks" on the desktop browser. There's no such thing on my Mac browser unless if I enable it explicitly with "about:config". But even in this "Mobile Bookmarks" folder, the bookmarks from the Android phone don't show up and the "Mobile Bookmarks" folder itself is removed again after the next app restart.

I've already verified the places.sqlite on the Mac with "about:support".

Thanks a lot for your hints!

Cheers, -sven

Hi,

How can I disable this feature?

I want Firefox to show me suggestions based in my bookmarks or history, instead of websites I've never visited.

For example, in the image attached, I typed "dis" and Firefox suggested me "discordapp.com". I have Discord in my bookmarks, but the URL is "discord.com/login". In this way I can access directly to the login page of Discord. However Firefox is always showing me "discord.com" as first result and it's very annoying.

How can I disable this?

Thank you.

When I try to download music I have purchased from Bandcamp (www.bandcamp.com) the file that downloads (regardless of if i choose AAC fomat or FLAC) downloads as a TextEdit file which I can usually expand with StuffItExpander. However this no longer works, yet it works fine on Safari.

URL of such a file is download URL of such a purchase

Bandcamp support are unaware of any issues - I updated to Firefox 75.0.1 with no difference in the outcome.

i have multi-devices,all set up the same. Sync is on. Does clearing cookies and site data on one device sync across all others and clear all? Does sync share "all" between devices? jeff

I have written 43 pages 11 x 8 1/2 Inches of family members' memories. I would like to create or transfer into a small booklet with a soft cover but reducing pages to approximately 6 inches by 6 inches. I would like advice as to how to do. thanks!!

I have also downloaded and tried a Firefox recommended "Clear Cache" toolbar add-on, to no avail.

If my computer collects more than 4.4 MB of cached data, the overage will clear. It's the 4.4 MB that won't disappear.

I am a long-time Firefox user who always clears cached content and site data prior to closing my browser, and I have never noticed this issue until two or three days ago.

My computer has only one installed plugin, i.e., Shockwave Flash 32.0 r0.

The attached images show my Privacy & Security settings.

Any suggestions? Thanks, in advance.
