The full error message is: "The procedure entry point ?WindowsBCryptinitialization@mozilla@@YA_NXZ could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\xul.dll."

After accepting that, I get another message that says: "Couldn't load XPCOM." Then, it just quits, with no Crash Reporter dialog.

I downloaded a fresh installer, but it takes a couple minutes to even launch, and then just sits there for a long time on the initial screen doing nothing before saying the installation failed. I've restarted my computer twice hoping it was a one-off issue, but there's no change.

According to the file information, xul.dll was last changed September 3rd, so it may not be the source of the issue. Perhaps whatever name mangling is responsible for the above entry point changed and now they don't match?

I have automatic updates set to "download but don't install", so it downloaded it a few days ago and I just restarted it this evening and the issue occurred. I could understand that maybe something got corrupted during the update, but I have no idea how the installer could also be failing.

This is killing my efficiency, I upload many files in the order i see fit, I select the folder, I upload the file, I open the link again to upload, it takes me to the same folder. Not anymore

Now, with every upload no matter what folder I am in it takes me to "Download" folder, this change just happened on 10-8-26. Open link to upload file, now it is defaulted "Download" folder, it used to be last folder used.

I dont have this issue when I upload in chrome.

Hello,

I’m the developer of SnakeGame.Live , a browser-based multiplayer snake game with mouse steering on desktop.

I would like to understand the difference between Firefox’s F11 fullscreen mode and fullscreen activated through a website’s Fullscreen API.

For a mouse-controlled game, do these modes behave differently when the pointer reaches the top edge of the screen? Is there a recommended way to let players use fullscreen while keeping Firefox’s normal exit controls available?

I’m using Windows 10. I would appreciate guidance on the expected Firefox behavior and any relevant support documentation.

Thank you.

Hi, I wrote about a month ago and didn't get help in recovering my lost bookmarks. I've spent the month looking at .JSONLZ4 files to see if there was anything there, nothing I could find. I've gone through all the suggestions and haven't found the bookmarks. I have limited time on line, and appreciate the volunteers' time in addressing this issue, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Mark

i accidentally uninstalled Firefox and lost my session, i have Tab Session Manager but it seems that the uninstallation also deleted the saved sessions in there...

can anyone please help?

On all my PC's, (Win 10 & 11) downloads go to the folder I specified even though "Always Ask" is checked. This results in hundreds of files (statements, receipts, documents of interest) that I have to then move to the correct folders and unimaginable congestion and chaos in the directory.

I (and many others) would really appreciate it if FF would give priority to fixing some of these longstanding glitches, rather than pushing unneccessary and unneeded glitz on us.

Server Not Found

Firefox can’t connect to the server at legalfolder.sce.com. What can you do about it?

   Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly and try again in a few moments.
   Check your network connection.
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall).

Firefox (currently 157) continually crashes on my Windows 10 machine. Task Manager shows Firefox downloading sub apps (currently, 11) until memory is full. Then Firefox crashes. Task Manager shows 11 sub apps open right now using 537Mb of memory. I opened in troubleshoot mode. If I open in normal mode, more than 1Gb will be used with 14 or 15 sub apps downloaded. Only two tabs are shown as being opened. This started with one of the earlier updates and newer updates didn't fix the problem. Even emptying the cache didn't help. Do you recommend totally deleting Firefox and starting over from scratch?

I am using Firefox 157.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10. When I browse papers on https://www.sciencedirect.com(https://www.sciencedirect.com) and click the "View PDF" button, the page that opens is completely blank. The same PDF loads normally in Microsoft Edge.

I have already tried troubleshooting steps: I cleared cookies for this website and disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for [sciencedirect.com](https://sciencedirect.com), but the blank page issue still exists.

Thank you for your attention and assistance.

a Firebox forced update in the middle of a meeting failed. Somehow during reloading the new update, it failed and offered me to reset to default, which lost all my saved setups and URLs. It then offered me a last saved setup, but required a password which I cannot remember having setup
