Firefox Support Forum

i cant get firefox to open main page no matter what i try. Ive download it a few times and then it ask me to no let it fix it i did and then it still wont open.use firefox more than any site. ty if you can help.

Dear fellows,

I did lost all history data after a previous update, my user got corrupted data and somehow I did manage to import the info into Edge browser. To my surprise after I reinstalled a clean Firefox, it only imported back 3 months of browsing history. Topically, average user keep a computer 3-4 years.. I don't know from where developers came with the idea of limiting to such a shot interval. I have thousands of browsing history links from more that 10 years kept and I need them all.

Tried to increase the number from about:config, but there is an option only for Chrome which I never used and always hate :)

I did installed Chrome to convince myself about it's ingenuity, even if it was not necessary. It does have import option only from Microsoft Explorer, no Edge.

If there is a solution for importing a longer period and high number of entries, please share it.

I'm not an IT expert, but I can manage consoles if there is an even deeper option to modify config files.

Thank you in advance!

I've been using a Rewards site regularly (3/4 times per month) for several years without problem. This weekend the attached pop-up appeared. It makes no difference whether I select Resend or Cancel, the program just re-displays the pop-up trapping me in an endless loop. The only exit is to close the window and abort the process. I was able to complete the task without any problem using Edge instead so it appears to be a Firefox specific issue. I haven't consciously changed anything since last using the site successfully on 24 May. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

The Find in Page feature is not working in my build of Firefox Nightly. Application Basics

Hello everyone! I have a really nasty problem (for almost 3 years now) that I just can't get a handle on (and I don't know the root cause 100% either). Here's my situation:

• We have a self-check-in terminal (kiosk) that is used in hotels
• The terminal runs a web app in FF full-screen kiosk mode (-kiosk flag)
• 99% of the time everything works fine and without any problems
• Sometimes though, the problem occurs that the entire browser content no longer responds to touch events
• My app continues to run, we see the visual feedback from the touch monitor, but Firefox no longer responds to anything
• If you connect via AnyDesk (our remote maintenance tool), you can click with the mouse
• Even the DevTools don't respond to touch interactions
• As I said, everything is fine via mouse interaction (remote)

What I have already tried:

• Disable hardware acceleration
• Browser restart every day at 4:00AM (so far so good, but it still happens sometimes in between of these restart windows)
• Set the widget.windows.window_occlusion_tracking.enabled to "disabled" - I read that the problem could be related to that

Does anyone know the problem and can help me? It's really critical for our business, as the guest cannot interact with the device and only a browser restart helps.

One more thing: I saw today that a second Firefox.exe process was running. After killing it, it worked again. What kind of process could it be that is affecting the main app so much?

THANK YOU

This pops up every few hours. Sometimes it pops up invisible but steals focus from the main window. How can this be disabled?

I tried all methods that have been mentioned everywhere on the Internet, including policy.json, Group Policy on Windows, etc. Nothing disables this nagging yet.

Hi, so sorry for the delay and inconvenience caused by this matter, I’m new to all of this and not sure what I did or have done to create this giant mess I have for myself, but I need some help! Seems that my computer doesn’t work correctly anymore, nor do my phone's. Somehow I joined this and need to fix everything. Thanks for your help!

In Firefox, whenever I go to nab.com.au and then click on Login on the top right, I hear a constant stream of static noise coming out of the speakers.

In Chrome, when I just visit nab.com.au that same noise starts.

I have a set of Bose speakers connected via an optical cable.

This behaviour doesn't happen on all sites. Just some. As soon as you close the tab, the noise goes away.

It's driving me absolutely nuts.

Hi Forefox dosent show cookie content pop ups for some webpages. Have tried loading the same webpages with Edge, and a pop up is shown, whwere i am asked which cookies i would allow.

Have cleared the cahe/cookie, started up in secured mode, deleted profiles (made an search on firefox/Mozilla and deleted all files) and reinstalled firefox but the problem persist.

It started a month ago, just like that, Have changed pc, to a new one, and from windows 10 to windows 11, still the same.

Help would be nice, thank you.

I have installed firefox in my laptop for years. after latest update, firefox runs just fine only for the 1st time, then after closing the app / restarting the laptop, firefox keep giving error (attached) I have tried to refresh, run troubleshoot mode, uninstall and reinstall again at one point I was able to recreate the issue only after reinstalling firefox 126.0.1 portable version and then syncing to the profile ( run ok for 1st time, then it broke down after closing it) The problem also seems repeatable using firefox 115 protable Now, I tried to reinstall the portable version from scratch, it keeps hitting same error from 1st run

I have also double check the firewall and antivirus to make its not blocking All other browsers works just fine

The behavior began with fifteen to twenty crash messages appearing. After which the browser would stop responding and be unable to reach out to the internet.

Network connectivity was confirmed as I was able to access my VPN and corporate teams.

I submitted as many crash reports as I could. Eventually the crash reporter ceased to function. The message is:

Firefox had a problem and crashed. Unfortunately, the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash.

Details: expected value at line 1 column 1

Only a full reboot of the machine restored functionality but only temporarily. It returns after being put into sleep mode.

Running firefox in safe mode does not restore functionality. The behavior persists.

I am fully up to date according to firefox.

I am running a Lenovo Thinkpad Windows 11.

when I sign into Goog/setting/2 step, the page does not show "app passwords." I've turned off my ad-blocker extensions and pop-up blocker on the page. See attached.

How can I check what is being loaded on my computer with my browser Firefox when I start up Firefox. It takes too long for my homepage to load compared to other browsers. Can someone help so I can determine what is being loaded when I start up my browser Firefox? Thank you.

For months, now, whenever I try to post a comment on a Yahoo! News article, it reads: "Your comment has failed to published." This only happens in Firefox. My "Privacy & Security" settings are set to "Standard," my "History" set to "use custom settings for history" with settings "Remember browsing and download history" and "Clear history when Firefox closes." so cookies and cache get cleared then.

Sometimes this works when starting a new session. But I shouldn't have to start another session and lose all of my logins just to post a comment on a Yahoo News article.

Anyone else having this problem? Is there an easy and permanent fix? What are you settings set at?

When attempting to install a "clean" verison (delete old, install new) I get an error message about using the firefox removal tool. Where do I get it and how do I remove the old one and install a newest version?

Firefox does not allow website to access my location even though I keep allowing the website to access my location. I select the allow button and also did this both with and without the box checked to remember the decision. I also go into Settings - Privacy & Security - Location settings. I allow there. Nothing helps.

More than half of the websites are broken when viewed in Firefox now E.g. theguardian, youtube. It takes way too long to load and most of the time it's only part of the page. The same websites work on Chrome and Edge without any issue.

And then I try to upload screenshots (.JPG) to this form and it doesn't work?
