How can I disable master password pop-up at start up?
I want my master password to be requested only when I have to enter a password for the first time in the session, not at the beginning.

Why is Firefox 54.0.1 (64-bit) hogging CPU?

I'm running El Capitan on a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro with 4 GB memory and 240 GB free storage. I just did a clean install (factory reset) of El Capitan. I then downloaded Firefox. When I open just one tab at a typical blog website or a news site, Firefox and Firefox Web Content use 89% and 46% CPU respectively. If I check Energy Impact in Activity Monitor, it's about 150. If I run Netflix, the energy impact varies between 55% and 70%. My computer also gets very hot. I can't open more than one tab without my computer overheating. This did not happen before with the old Firefox version.
I went through all of the steps that Mozilla recommends on the Troubleshooting page when I first upgraded to El Capitan. I've checked all Plug Ins and Extensions in Safe Mode, I reset Firefox, I tried it with a new profile, I reinstalled it, etc. I thought there must have been something wrong with my computer, so I then did the clean install (factory reset) of El Capitan and Firefox. The problem persists with the new install.
Yes, using the option to cut out all ads, etc. (reader view) helps, but this option is not available on all websites (MSN main page, Instagram, Twitter). Plus, using reader view all the time like that means needing to click twice instead of once when moving back to the previous page, so I don't believe this a long term solution, especially considering that I had not problems in the past.
Please advise!

Hello Techies...! Newly (sunday) installed with a zero errors Lubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Live session. It often crashes. First I guessed it crashed starting a video, e.g. in YouTube, but tonight it crashed while reading a Facebook profile. I always use Private Windows, I installed HTTPS Everywhere and the only other extension installed is Ubuntu Modifications, as you are aware. Firefox health report is enabled and backlogged crash report are allowed to be sent so I guess you can read this data, too. Do yoh need to know more to help me? Many thanks, Alberto

It's working on my old macbook, but not working on the new one.
Both mac are running firefox esr v52.2.1 on sierra v10.12.6. The only difference I can find is the "last updated date" of the default theme. the working version is July 20, 2017, the not working one is June 28, 2017. I don't know how to update it. It shows "No updates found" when checking for updates.
Any ideas to solve this? thanks.
I've built JavaScript code that works fine in Chrome but which opens and makes active a completely blank tab in addition to the tab that my software is opening.

The code in question is simply executing the following Javascript command: window.open(targetPage + youtube_id); The variables there resolve to http://diycaptions.com/php/get_captions_and_subtitles_as_text.php?id=6MBaFL7sCb8. On execution, the page opens in a tab, to be sure, but at the very same time, a second tab opens with the words about:blank in the address bar. That is the tab that becomes active, giving the appearance that the entire process failed.
As I say, this is not a problem at all in Chrome.

Hello there,
After my Firefox Nightly updated a couple of days ago (I currently have 2017-07-20 build, but the issue came up earlier), some sites like github.com, amazon.com and pastebin.com stopped loading with the SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER error.
Info from the Advanced button:
Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized.

The certificate is the same for all sites that stopped working. Firefox Nightly also says "The certificate expired on Wednesday, November 12, 2014, 3:46 PM."
Everything works fine when connected via TOR proxy. So I suspect my ISP. But I have no clue why it started happening right after one of the updates. The regular Firefox works fine, too.
What's also weird is that "Page Info" window (accessible via the address bar icon) tells me I don't have any password nor cookies saved for github.com. In fact, I do have cookies saved for GitHub, I've just confirmed that at about:preferences#privacy
The page visit counter (located on in that same window) says I've visited GitHub 7,822 times, so the counter probably works.

I'm using ESR version 52.2.1 (32-bit) on Windows 10 and npplugin. When I load a page I receive two security warnings as expected. I accept the risk and click Run both times. After that I can change select, button, and radio controls but input and password fields behave as though they're read only. Otherwise the page and plugin works normally.
If I choose Cancel rather than accepting the Security Warning prompt things work normally. If I accept the warnings and then change tabs or minimize and maximize the browser, they work normally. It's as though there's some third dialog box or prompt I'm not seeing after the second security warning.
The page works correctly in IE 11.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.
Working addon to show parent folders of bookmarks

I came looking for info / status on addons like Show Parent Folder or Go Parent Folder, when I saw the recent post on this forum, with slow workaround: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1161879
Q: Do any other addons exist, updated for Fx 57, that instantly show the parent folder of bookmarks in a bookmarks manager search results?
The workaround in forum question 1161879 is OK for 1 bookmark, once in a while. I need this on a regular basis. Anyone that's collected bookmarks for a couple of decades, has similar-topic bookmarks scattered in different folders (not duplicates).
Imagine a file manager with search function that finds file names, but doesn't show where they're located. :D Fairly regularly, similar-topic bookmarks need to be located and moved to one folder.
For everyone "bugged" by lack of this feature, the request / bug on bugzilla won't help immediately (it was filed 15 yrs ago!). It's gotten some recent attention. This and similar bugs probably need more votes (need a bugzilla acct) vs. more comments, at this point. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196509 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469421
Now that addons providing this feature have gone away, maybe if lots of users voted for it to be fixed, developers would make a change.
On a much larger scale than one bookmarks feature, if Firefox was losing users to Chrome before, what does Mozilla think will happen when many addons & plugins suddenly go away?

Just as it's possible in the cookies manager to start typing for domain which will bring up the cookies it's not the same with the exceptions.
Sometimes I need to find a site to change the settimg or delete it but have to resort to scrolling down a massive long list to try to find the site I'm looking for.
Is there an addon or something that will allow me to do this. If not perhaps this is stored in and editable file somewhere that I can edit?

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble using the inspector tool for Firefox 54.
• The problem is it no longer pinpoints elements as it once did previously.
• This requires you to select an element but it will only select the parent element, to find a specfic element within that you must manually open up the divs to get to your specific element.
• It makes the working time more than 10 times longer to accomplish tasks that were once possible before.
I'm hoping this is just a setting that was reset by accident at my fault.
I also noticed the inspector theme switched to dark, if that helps.
Thank you

Hi, this is a bit difficult, and acutally it's really not our problem, but we want to help our customer. They have bought an 58 inch touch screen from us which has a PQlabs touch system. They have made a company built a html5 webbased program for them, which works OK with IE11, Edge, Chrome. The touch screen works ok with or without the PQlabs driver(without it uses windows HID). On our DEMO NUC-pc i7 with Win10 build 1706 and Firefox 64bits 54.0.1 it works great, you can touch items and place them elsewhere, so called draggable items. This works with Jquery. On their i3 NUC it does not work with Firefox, but works with IE11but not as smooth as on our demo nuc. So we checked all settings for Pen and Touch, they are equal. We made sure Firefox is 64bits and 54.0.1 on both machines. We can find no setting that is different, still on their nuc it does not work. Now when using the mouse you can click with Left button and drag an item. When you touch the screen and hold, then normally this will act as Right mouse button. But in the HTML5 web-based program it will act as Left Mouse. So it's turned around. Now this does not have to be a problem, because it works on our Demo-Nuc. So we though'd maybe the Win10 build is the cause, but...i have a dualboot MacBook with a valid Win10 license for Services purposes, and this has the same Win10 Build as our Demo-Nuc. On this laptop it also does not work. So win10 build, no issue. Firefox version, no issue. Touch driver installed or not, no issue. Jquery, no issue (you can test by the way on jqueryui.com) Hardware, i don't believe it as nuc i3 and Macbook i5 do not work, NUC i7 does work.
So maybe a setting somewhere we don't know.
Does anyone have a clue were we could look, to find the cause? Could it be a Java setting somewhere?
Thanks for any help on this.
