Hello Mozilla fellows.
Yesterday a top margin of the "New tab" page ("top sites" etc. page) suddenly became missing (not centered vertically) in my Firefox 73.0. This page displays broken for any Firefox profile (for Firefox instances of other users of the same Windows), so resetting ("refreshing") Firefox is not a solution, and most simple Firefox reinstallation also did not help.
(I believe there are no screenshot needed here, as anybody knows what is a large top margin of a centered [div] entity, and how does its absence should look.)
My desktop AMD A6 computer where Firefox got this problem is maintained pretty "default" - Windows is strictly genuine out-of-the-box, there was no any errors caught of any custom settings invoked during any software installations, every software unit in Windows is free of charge (no stolen software at all), all hardware drivers are ok, desktop graphics are set to usual 1920x1080 32bpp Windows Aero, and I even did not use any realtime antiviruses for years. There are also no any add-ons\extensions\plugins\themes in Firefox, and no Flash or Java installed.
A similar question (№ 1268604) already exists here for a few months, but I decided to also begin a new thread for the issue, because the problem is quite sensitive for me - I do not want to reset entire PC to get rid of this tiny bug, even though I guess this would help a bit :)
Can anybody clearly explain me, what and why has changed in my Firefox files yesterday and how can I fix this by any obvious tiny configuration actions or something alike? I still believe that a solution different from complex hardcore action exists for my case :'/

Updated yesterday. Now firefox is not working. It starts just fine but can't seem to access the internet. I've checked my security software and found no blocking occurring. If I click on help/about that window pops up but the links in it do not work However it does say it is up to date. The troubleshooting page opens but the options page won't. That is unless I choose to refresh firefox, then sometimes it loads but once I close and reopen firefox or try to access another webpage it's gone and won't come back.
It is not running in compatibility mode. I've tried running it in compatibility mode but again nothing. I've tried using different profiles (old and new) and still nothing. When I try to load a page there is nothing happening at all. No little wait sign, no messages... nothing. After closing firefox and then checking task manager I can see that firefox is still running. From there I can manually close it. The instances that are still running seem to be for whatever I tried to load that didn't.
Since this happened I've also installed an older version as well (72.0.2) and it works just fine. It's what I'm using to be here. It's just 73 that is stuck. Other browsers I use are Opera (works just fine) and IE (also works) I don't use IE for anything but it works.
My OS is Win8.1 64bit my browsers are also 64bit.

Today I received an email from Transit App sent to my Gmail alias email address that I only use for signing into my Firefox account. I have never used the Transit App and I would not have used my Firefox Gmail alias email address even if I did. So how did the Transit App folks harvest my email address from Firefox?

When logging on to public wifi network that requires a login name and password from my Windows 10 laptop with Firefox set as the default browser, my internet security application (BitDefender) shows a suspicious connection warning and blocks every effort to connect. When I try to log in with Chrome set as the default browser, the process works normally, that is, the network login page opens automatically and Bitdefender does not display a warning. I don't want to have to change my default browser every time I connect to WiFi in a coffee shop or an airport. This has been bothering me for years. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello,
I'm using Firefox browser desktop ver 73.0 for Ubuntu 18.04 canonical 1.0. It was working great for many months. Now suddenly on all websites selection boxes and text are inverted. For example text has a white box around it. I went through all the settings in Firefox and nothing effects the problem. I can use Chrome fine but I hate it. Thank you

My bookmarks will not arrange manually even though I have followed the below instructions from the help guide to the letter. Everytime I drag and drop it somewhere in the folder, 10 seconds later, it moves itself back.
Rearranging manually
Click the Library button 57 library icon on your toolbar. (If you don't see it there, click the menu button fx57menu then click Library.) Click Bookmarks and then click the Show All Bookmarks bar at the bottom. Click the folder that contains the bookmark you want to move to expand it. Click on the bookmark you want to move and then drag it to the position where you want to move it.

Firefox and Thunderbird start only as process, application window doesn't start

Firefox and Thunderbird stopped to open the application window same day (about a week ago): only firefox.exe and thunderbird.exe processes start. Task Manager also only lists the processes, no applications. This process is very hard to kill, Task Manager can't end it, nor elevated rights Command Prompt TASKKILL with /FE, NirSoft NirCmd nor PSTools pskill64.exe nor Process Explorer. I have also tried ending all the other processes first I can think of, including explorer.exe, does not help. I'm testing with two administrator level accounts and I'm mostly working this problem with Firefox now, although Thunderbird shows the same symptoms.
My system is a clone desktop computer Windows 7 PRO 64bit UK, AMD:n Phenom II CPU, GeForce 1050Ti display adapter.
As antivirus I have Avira Free Antivirus, and I have some suspicions it may be the root of the problems this time. For couple of weeks ago it updated with a new user interface and installed new components. To test that, I tried to uninstall Avira. Each component needs to be uninstalled separately using Windows Programs and Features: two components uninstalled cleanly, one component left an open minimized window that one couldn't pop open nor close. Antivirus and VPN do not uninstall: after you are asked do you want to uninstall and answer YES, nothing else visible happens. If you try to start another uninstall job, you get a window telling you can't start another as one program is already being uninstalled or changed. And waiting doesn't help. I have a support question about it in Avira forum.
Also last week, Flash Player installation failed with 89% done, tried twice and with same result. And the newest GeForce Graphics adapter drivers installation failed also. Both of those usually always install succesfully.
Microsoft System File Checker SFC /SCANNOW does not find problems, nor does Windows disc chechker tool. I also run: File and Folder Troubleshooter winfilefolder.DiagCab and Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab ja Program_Install_and_Uninstall.diagcab. Avira support recommends the Install and Uninstall troubleshooter to get rid of some old Avira rubbish. Also compared Windows folders rights to default rights listed in some web site: did not find differences with the couple of dozen folders I compared. Data Execution Prevention (DEP) according to Process Explorer is enabled looking at Firefox.exe process properties. I know command lines to change DEP settings and found it in System Performance Properties settings also, but have not touched it.
I've removed Firefox and Thunderbird parent.lock -files, with Firefoxilla both from profile folder C:\Users\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILENAME and temporary folder C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\firefox before trying to start Firefox again. And since I can't kill the process otherwise, it also means after rebooting the computer.
Found an advice opening Firefox with SHIFT-key down, should open a safe-mode of the browser. Well, opened only the process in my case.
There are no previous session related saves (sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.jsonlz4, sessionstore.js) in the profile folder any more, and the sessionstore-backups folder is empty.
I removed the Firefox installation, rebooted, and installed the 73.0 version 13.02.2020. It behaves similarly: only the process starts.
Added -p parameter to the Firefox shortcut, and in Windows SAFE MODE was able to create a new profile: in normal mode Windows the window for creating/changing profile does not open. Firefox doesn't open application window in Windows safe mode either, also tried to run it as administrator option, and pressing SHIFT key, but neither helped. The newly created profile folder only has one file: times.json.
When installed Firefox again, it wasn't a clean installation: the Firefox folder was empty of files, but I did install into the same folder. Also did not edit register nor delete the profile folder. Which is what I'm gonna try next. However, Thunderbird does not use Firefox's profile, so why does it stop opening the application window same time with Firefox? I don't think Firefox's profile folder can cause all these installation problems and Thunderbird problem. My bet is more likely Avira.

I have version 72.0.2 of Firefox and recently I no longer have the option to auto-fill passwords saved in Norton Vault. All my passwords are safe in the Norton vault but normally I get a little circle at the end of the password field which gives me the option to auto-fill from Norton. Nothing I can do will fix this. Any clues as to how to get Firefox to link up again with Norton Vault? Many thanks

While using Facebook Container, Facebook is slow to load, temporarily locks up for short periods randomly, quite often, sometimes fails to completely load page. During some of these conditions, I can scroll with my wheel, but the scroll control in the sidebar does not work. And often, what the screen shows is not what the Mouse sees. I click on a button (Share button for instance) and instead of acting on that, it loads a new tab from some other link on the page.
I turned off the Facebook Container and ALL of the problems disappeared. this started write after the last upgrade.

In the past 5 minutes, MFF 73.0 x64 crashed 3 times. I've sent an error report, I always do, so quite a few should be at Moz. System: I5 6600K 16gb RAM GTX 1060 6GB 16tb disk space, of which 60% to 70% in use.
Crashes are irregular in time, but always with an instant CDT.
Tabs also frequently crash out on me, for no apparent reason. This too happens at irregular intervals. See picture below.
Please advice? Thank you. Xog.

The other day I ended up with an issue where I was redirected to a "Prize" site. I have since wiped my drive and reloaded my OS... but I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
So here's the story
I clicked on this website, and the first couple times I got this web page, which was different
from what I was supposed to get,
"game2674.goprzshere39.live/7261852386/?utm_campaign=QPF8euu28II5lw702iHhCugVqK5RzfdNsTpLaMM91qY1&t=main9............ etc",
and the 3rd time I got a warning from Ublock Origin about https://minently.com/RnSda/rDN#/ojdn/-nsy7qV12RbEJREofa... etc.....
and then the fourth time I got the website which was https://occult-study.org/left-hand-path-and-right-hand-path/
Now I no longer get that bizarre site any longer (It said I made the 5
billionth search and won a prize and then my computer beeped), but WTF was that and why did it happen?
Here is the full link to what I initially got... it seems to change for some reason
