When I click on "download", the popup window with "Save File" and "Cancel" buttons does not appear . If I disable all add-ins and plug-ins (there are only three of them) and then restart Firefox, it does not fix the problem. However, if I open Firefox in Safe Mode, it works fine. I have an old profile which uses the same add-ins and it works fine. I have FF 66.0.5. I'm not sure if the problem was created by an update.

The more important problem is this - When I Exit Firefox, Firefox almost always crashes AFTER it has written the sessionstore.jsonlz4 recovery file. I am not sure why Firefox is crashing. Here are my latest crash reports; I just submitted a few that about:crashes told me that I had (for some unknown reason) not yet submitted:

When I look at a crash dump summary, I do not see the crash time. I do see the install time and the install age, but I do not have time to "add" the two to produce the crash time so that I can equate a given crash with my manual log to determine which of these crashed occurred after an Exit. I suggest that the crash dump summary be enhanced to give this information.l And the summary I save (via cut-and-paste) before I submit each crash report does not give the crash dump ID.
For the record, I am running 66.0.5 32-bit on Windows 7, always in safe mode.

I just installed the latest Firefox update (67) and when the browser restarted I noticed no web pages were loading. It turned out this was because my uBlock Origin and uMatrix extensions had been completely cleared of ALL data, including their default/pre-defined rules.
All of my extensions data seems to have been cleared. The extensions are still installed, but their settings/data are completely gone.
This is EXTREMELY frustrating.
Does Firefox make backups or anything before it attempts an update? Is my extension data/settings recoverable somehow?
Come on, Mozilla, what are you doing to Firefox recently?!

I'm getting this weird visual stutter when I play youtube videos, specifically only youtube, the sound is fine but it flicks between a few frames all the time, and its really annoying and hard to watch. I only recently switched to ff so I'm not sure how to fix it. My pc isnt terrible, and i've never had this problem with chrome.
Things I've tried; - turned off hardware acceleration - updated gpu drivers - downloaded h264ify, which did nothing.
https://puu.sh/DvhQN/78b605b5e1.gif You can kind of see whats happening in this gif.
I'd prefer to get a complete fix (instead of me having to do something every time it happens) asap and not get headaches when watching videos ):

Firefox crashed at exactly 10pm ET, and has been crashing at start-up ever since. I've managed to get it open in Safe Mode, but am unable to access any bookmarks or other basic features.
"Refreshing" FIrefox has only exacerbated the problem, as I can't even get it to start up the browser in Safe Mode now.

Got a blue screen, restarted the PC, opened firefox - all the extensions installed (reinstalled) again, firefox theme (and extensions placement), the extensions settings were reset. What the hell is happened and is it possible to fix it?

Firefox has been working for months perfectly, since yesterday where I meddled with user rights. I reversed everything back to normal, meaning my User has admin rights and I can access and write over everything. However whenever I start my laptop anew and I open Firefox fresh it says "Another instance of Firefox is already running". When I click on "End task" it keeps spamming the same message. When I go to abort it just ends the firefox.exe (as observed through task manager). When I press windows+r buttons and type in firefox.exe -p or similar, I can create a new account (the last one created did not save, default user cannot be picked) and use Firefox normally. I am super confused and cannot find any solution online, I have tried many and this is the compromise I am working with as of now.

As stated above, in win10 Firefox constantly freezes up. Sometimes closing and opening resolve for a while, other times not. Tried all the fixes, none worked. The freezing was more sporadic prior to the latest win10 update, much worse since. I have a win7 machine that never has problems. Both use Norton, both have same settings for browser and Norton security. Only difference is win10 vs win7. Hardware-wise the win10 machine has more resources, double the ram and an ssd, win7 machine less ram and hdd. The win10 machine should be better not worse.

Hi,
At our university, a lot of user are using Firefox to edit Office documents via our on premise Office Online Server. Our Office Online server is always at the latest release/update. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeonlineserver/office-online-server-release-schedule (There is no problem with Office online in Office 365)
Recently the users complaining that they cannot add text to an office document. No problem with other browsers. Problem: While you start typing, you see the text on the screen, but when you hit enter or select another position in the document, the new added text disappears. FireFox is now running at version 66.0.5 (64 bit)
Is this a bug in the latest release?
Kind regards,
Johan

Hi,
I have a laptop with a 4K (3840 x 2160) display and have had issues with text scaling in various programs. I have tried various combinations of Windows display resolution and text size and have now settled on full recommended resolution of 3840 x 2160 and text size scaling of 225%.
In Google Calendar, the up and down buttons used to set Notifications, are abnormally small. I suspect this is related to high DPI scaling. Can this be fixed?

When I open Firefox for the first time, the few addons I have in my overflow menu can open and work fine. However after a short time of having it open, they seem to stop functioning. Example is the uBlock addon that I have installed. When I click the icon for it while it's in the overflow menu, it just closes the overflow menu and nothing opens. If I try the same with my password manager, the same problem occurs.
I can drag the icon back to the toolbar and then it works fine, but if I drop it right back into the overflow menu, it doesn't work until I restart the browser. Any ideas?

Hello Mozillians!
I recently downloaded and ran the Firefox installer, to fix the Add-on problem.
Since then, Windows 10 start menu shows a ghost or phantom "Firefox Desktop app" when I open it and start to type "f i r e . . ."
Before, A single "f" would bring up the live application, and I'd be on my way. Now even the full "firefox" fails to find the actual application.
It still shows as a "new" app, and I can access it that way, but I'd like to fix this. (I expect "new" will soon fade, and then it'll be gone.)
(Also, a sub problem: image upload in this form says "Uploading ..." but the spinning wheel hasn't stopped.)
Thanks!

Errors when accessing pages with Quirks mode

I'm running Firefox 66.0.5 on Windows 10 Home, Version 1809. I've been seeing the following event log issues for months and have finally found the issues occur when Firefox accesses sites with "Render Mode: Quirks mode" such as https://money.cnn.com/data/markets/.
The following error occurs twice in the system log and the source is Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM. The PID shows it is a Host Process for Windows Services running under the Network Service user:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}
and APPID
{15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402}
to the user xxxxx\xx SID (S-1-5-21-xxxxxx
-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
At the same time, the following is generated in "Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/Operational"
First: Starting validation and setting the Trust Label on package Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions_1.0.20952.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe with flags 0x3.
Second: Package Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions_1.0.20952.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe has Trust Label already. Flags: 0x3
Third: Finished validation and setting the Trust Label on package Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions_1.0.20952.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe with flags 0x3.
If I use IE, instead of Firefox, I still get event log entries but they are different:
First: DllHost (5100,D,35) Internet_NOEDP_LEGACY_IDB: Error -1919 validating header page on flush map file "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Indexed DB\Internet.jfm".

Since this issue with Firefox is creating about 50 to 100 system errors per day, I've tried to resolve it in multiple ways. Making changes in Component Services will not have any affect. Also, under Internet Options, select Advance. Under Multimedia, uncheck "Enable alernative codecs in HTML5 media elements* - This also has no affect.
I understand what Quirks mode is, so I know I cannot change how developers create their web pages. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can to do mitigate the errors in the System event log?

I have MacBook Pro, Firefox 66.0.5 and OS 10.14.4. I'm having the annoying problem of webpages being reloaded without my command.

It doesn't affect other tabs. Any help would be appreciated!

Firefox 66 64bit (installed) completely hangs up when exiting a "view cam" in a cam/chat room requiring the use of Flash Player 32 64bit (installed). Must 'end task' to close Firefox program. If I do not enable 'view cam' within the website chat room, Firefox does not hang up. ?? Firefox and FlashPlayer are current 64 bit installations. Running Windows 10 with 1084 build (awaiting May 2019 update release). Plenty of RAM, disc space, etc. on a Dell 7579 Laptop. What fix is required to stop FireFox 66 64bit from hanging up when exiting a view cam from Flash Player 32 64bit program??? Really a problem to 'end task' and restart and not be able to switch back and forth because Firefox is hanging up. Thanks for help!!
