See the subject. I've been seeing delays in launching for several months. I've run several windows defender malware checks (full and the one where it runs outside of anything brought up). I've reset firefox. I did all this also because I was seeing random ads from a news site from what they were trying to get me to do was install macafee (but it's malware). While I'm not seeing those ads now and I'm suspicious they can from the news site vs. my browser, I'm very aware of anything trying to capture screen scrapes. I'm even considering changing all my passwords as I'm not sure if anything was captured. This morning, firefox upon launch took a long time. Then it said installing updates. My desktop flashed and firefox launched. I have not installed anything or any addons, extensions, etc. So either this was firefox doing an update it needed or it's something else. I'm on windows 10.

i really need this colour switch pls. my firefox kept crashing with no explanation (maybe some extension i had, then deleted when the crashes began) so i had to reset the whole thing. now the appearance has changed. i had put back my background picture, witch was fine with me, but the text was black instead of white like it used to. and it makes me use firefox less. i think its something to do with the website contrast but I'm not sure.

For quite some while now, when I pull up my site history, it doesn't matter what I search, the search returns no matches found.

Yesterday, I visited a site. Today, I pulled up the history (^H) and then proceed to search for a word I knew was in the title of the page because I had printed it and had it in front of me. It was not found. I then searched manually through my history and found the page.

See attached screenshots.

  1. Searching for the word "corn" and not being found in the history
  2. Manual search shows the content exists with the word "corn"

When I add sites for exceptions, why isn't this carried with my Firefox account and it shows up in every instance of Firefox when i am signed in? It is a nuisance to keep re-adding them everywhere. Also, when Firefox updates, why do I have to re=enter what I already done. It is a pain.

All other credit cards, banks, finance, etc. accounts sign on fine. I deleted my "saved" Chase sign on in "tools" and tried setting up the Chase account from scratch but it didn't have any result. Running W-10 with latest updates. Called Chase and was not comfortable with their response. Since it's a long holiday weekend (4th July) I will call them again on Monday to see if I can get someone else with more knowledge at Chase support. Any help from you guys would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I changed my browser to the latest version of Firefox, but then I lost all streaming websites (youtube, Netflix), and password autofill. Luckily I had 2 firefox browsers so on the other one I did reset and can steam again there, but I lost several shortcuts and other extensions such as autotranslate. It's just gone. Colors and pictures are on both. And I can't change back the browser that has the newest version. So now I'm stuck switching between browsers depending on what I want to do. Wish I had never changed that browser. Has ruined my computer. I've spent days trying to fix and change things.
