Firefox Community Forum

I have been using the Firefox browser for years on the exact same computer running windows 8.1 that isn't having any issues or problems. Over the last 6 months the browser has been crashing every single day regardless of utilizing every setting mentioned in the help articles, numerous "refreshes" (numerous times it also freezes during refresh) and numerous reinstalls have done nothing. Every single day the browser crashes and I have to restart it or my whole computer. This is my last attempt to figure out what's happening before I stop ever using it again.

Whenever i attempt to save my passwords or login, it will not be saved in the browser. It will also prompt me to enter in my primary password to view saved logins which are still not saved in the browser. I have enabled autofill on the account but the issue continues to happen.

Hi. I am trying to get into chase.com web without success. Why I already try several download with different browsers.

A few times now, I have inadvertently opened a second Firefox window. The original Firefox window comes up with two pinned tabs. If I close the original window then when I start Firefox the next time, it no longer has pinned tabs. I am running Win8.1 on a desktop system.

Hello. My tablet, has limited memory, due to its age. I am now finding that one of the main reasons why it is so slow is because whenever I open firefox, it opens multiple firefox processes which drain the memory and in some cases crashes the system. I have followed all the advice given to reduce these multiple processes, however nothing seems to work and at least 6-8 firefox processes open each time I open it. I have unchecked the recommended performance settings as well as hardware acceleration boxes. However, I cannot find where to set the content process limit to 1. Please tell me how to do this and if there anything else I can try to stop it opening multiple processes or I may be forced to ditch Firefox altogether for an alternate such as Bing, Chrome or DuckDuckGo. Many thanks. Charlie

msn.com and outlook.com recently changed their login procedure and I can't login using firefox. I get an error 400.

I get the following message when going online with Firefox: "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." I've followed all the prompts to restart the computer, refresh the computer, delete the favicons.sqlite and places.sqlite and it won't allow me to delete them. This happened yesterday as well. Yesterday I could delete those files and everything was restored. But today I can't get it to work.

Firefox autoprints Microsoft Word and Excel documents despite setting otherwise.

about:config print.always_print_silent is now set to false. (was somehow set to true). After I set to false and reboot, same behavior occurs. I verified that same behavior does not occur in other browser.

Once again, Paramount Plus is giving conniptions when via Firefox, when was fine 3 days ago. 3304 or 3005. Last time this happened, we contacted you and it went away right quick. Guess your team found a patch. WAIT -- now plays commercial... but not feature. Try again... NOPE, back to bupkis. They claim not them, every time. Guess you guys stuck patching their screw ups.

Same approximate timeframe, yahoo mail stopped working via Firefox. That still remains.

HELP!

I prefer Firefox over all other browsers I've tried

About a year ago, I think, after an update I couldnt copy a chat into LibreWriter that included the name of the chatter.

Disappointed, I found Brave browser that does copy all within the chat window.

The thing is is Brave is unreliable, and often the chat locks up after an couple hours unless it is regularly checked -I stick with Firefox for my involvement, using Brave to record only because it lags while typing, sometimes so badly a whole sentence can be typed before it appears on screen.

Can you restore the code that allowed the name of the chatter in Rumble chats to be copied like Firefox used to?

It would be much appreciated. Thank you, Biff
