Firefox was corrupted. Advised to uninstall and re-install. Uninstall, supposedly, worked. Go to re-install and the window that FF is running and needs to close comes up (see attached snip). Close through task manager and, during the re-install process, it comes up again. Basically and endless loop and I am stuck in the mud. Does anybody know what didn't get removed so I can remove it and then re-install Firefox. I was hoping to save my passwords as well.

Please see the screenshot attached. Before the latest update, I was able to have a separate list of passwords for each site. Now I'm seeing "From this website" and then the other website. I only want to see the passwords associated with each site, not cross referenced. Is there any tool or setting to separate them?

I had this issue about a month ago, and looked into responses given to similar crashes. I tried disabling Hardware Acceleration, reinstalled Firefox, removed all add-ons and themes, then did a clean reinstall without any of my old user information, and checked my RAM for issues to no avail. I still had crashes in between each attempted fix. I updated Windows Defender and ran virus scans but nothing was wrong. None of the minor changes seemed to make a difference, but the crashes stopped so perhaps it was a culmination of everything, or I just got lucky.
Well last night the issues started again. I checked my OS installation for issues this time, and reinstalled Firefox (and immediately turned off hardware acceleration), but it hasn't helped. I don't want to erase my Firefox Profile and everything else again, so hopefully someone can tell me the 1 thing I need to do to prevent this from happening. I made sure to submit all the crash reports, but most of the ones from the past 24 hours appear to be missing now, so I'll include the IDs from the last three reports before it stopped previously, as well as the first three I ever sent, since I assume this is the same error.

If it helps, I'm running the latest version of Firefox with Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Optiplex 9020. It's an Intel icore i5-4590 3.3GHz CPU, and the GPU is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Zotac Mini 6G.

Hello,
I noticed a few hours ago that my Google search in Japanese was now displayed in an ugly font I have no memory of (could not identify it, attached a screenshot just in case).
I tried to change my settings for Japanese in Languages and Appearance, but no matter what, this unknown font remains the apparent default on sites such as SUMO and google.com.
I just refreshed Firefox to no avail.

Why does AVG password protection have access to the passwords stored on Firefox and then notifies me if my password has been compromised? Isn't this a security issue when avg password protection can access my saved passwords and can this be stopped or prevented (without me uninstalling AVG)? AVG enables the password protection application by default and you can't disable it or uninstall it without uninstalling the AVG itself. Also no AVG Plugin or extension is installed in my browser.

I am not sure what happened to land me on this page, but once it loaded, it displayed the attached image, then bounced through maybe several hundred pages under the same domain (all displaying the same image) before my computer's RAM topped out and Firefox terminated. First 3 links I was bounced through are below. I know it is not legitimate. The grammar is weird and word choice is odd. The Microsoft Support phone number on the page is also incorrect. Any concerns I should have? I have run a full scan with Windows defender without any issues showing up. Have not noticed any unusual processes running.

I am trying to customize my Firefox on mac so that the menu bar is always displayed. However, looking at ways to fix this I am told to go to the customization menu, click the tool bar drop down menu and click "menu bar". However, I do not have this option. Only the book mark bar is displayed? How do I make it so that the menu bar is always displayed when I browse with firefox? Every time I change a tab the menu bar pops up because I scrolled to high and its impossible to enjoy this browser. I've tried resetting my browser to default settings and this never fixed the problem. Please help!

Okay, first off, I'm infuriated. I'm infuriated with the stupid obstacle course it took me to even GET here! From the chain of suggestive meaningless support threads to the baffling loading of Thunderbird to even get me a password reset because I forgot the password to yet the millionth damn account I had to make to do one simple thing! Thanks, Firefox, you're making me regret even bothering with you and I've been with you since Day 1! I've had problems with you about the performance of the browser, to now just clogging the internet with garbage like making accounts just to get support!
The main point that started my stress with Firefox, is how I couldn't clear Autofill. I don't want a laundry list of names that are outdated and not in use. I've done everything I thought of, like going to Privacy and Security settings and clearing out the data. I've had CCleaner, clean out the data thoroughly. I've rebooted Firefox a few times and the names are still there! I don't WANT them there!
What have you done?! Why do you feel the need to enforce an arbitrary necessity onto those who prefer to have the options available to them on whether or not to clear such data? Why do you feel the need to make this so trivial? Am I stuck with an autofill form that I can't clear?! Forcing me to have to see a long ass list of things that are outdated/not in use?
This is your idea of IMPROVEMENT? You've lost your touch, Mozilla!!

When opening an attached pdf from an email in Outlook, it displays in the Firefox Preview window. The Print icon to the right of the Download icon does nothing when you click it now. It used to work in previous versions. Also, when going to options and changing the applications settings for pdf files to Open in Acrobat, the browser continues to open in the preview window and not Acrobat. This is not working properly either.
