Firefox Support Forum

Have followed suggestions to clear this issue without success. On Linux Mint how to remove : Policies, 'Active' "DisableAppUpdates", "True" - "Your browser is being managed by some organization." "Updates disabled by some system administrator"/w more issues, being blocked by the same problem from accessing the internet using a NIC cable, am using Wireless. Have been working with this issue from about 0200 this morning 1/19/22. Used one feature, "about:config" but my problem still is there. The issue with 'Policies' is a little more than I can handle. My FFx v96.0.1, Linux Mint Cinnamon v19.3 at this time, best of my memory, @82 Y/Od; Attempted a ScreenShot and could not reduce the size. Just note: "Your browser is being managed by your organization." is displayed top of all pages in "Settings."

Loading a web page stopped in the middle. I have checked my internet connection: OK. After that no one web pages was opened in the firefox browser. I have opened Chrome and everything worked well , web pages has been opened.

I have purge firefox installation (apt purge firefox) and installed again. Not helped. I have switched off all the extensions. Not helped.

I have read and followed the things in the article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can Nothing helped.

I am using Ubuntu (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS) any idea?

hi, it has been 2 days since firefox starts to behave in an unusual way. when opening many tabs, and if i dont click on them (ie inactive) in 2-3 minutes, they go blank. when i click on an inactive tab, firefox quickly refreshes it and shows the page. example: let's say i have 3 open tabs: tab1, tab2, tab3. i am reading in tab3 for 15mins. in that period, i didnt click on tab2/1. if now i click on tab2, it is blank and no longer displays the content of the page it is supposed to show. then, firefox quickly refreshes the page and displays the true page.

not really sure why this is happening now. never happened before. it is a really annoying behavior as every tab had to be refreshed automatically if i dont click on it in very few minutes. firefox 96.0 ubuntu 18.04. thanks

I'm struggling with firefox crashing every few days or so. Unfortunately, pretty often there is no crash report. Is there a way I can sanely get to the bottom of this?

It happens to me more often with Cisco Webex than other scenarios, but there are also completely unrelated crashes.

This is Ubuntu 20.04 and standard firefox package installation. I haven't yet turned off the extensions:

 feedbro
 gnome shell integration
 stylus
 uBlock origin

I hesitate to disable them since most are important to my work.

Any help is appreciated.

Ever since my Firefox application was updated to 96, the application has become unstable. The only way I can load it is be typing Firefox =P on my terminal, and picking a profile. The usual approach produces a response that "Firefox" can't find my profile. After attempting to fix this for two days, my links, logins, bookmarks, are available sometimes or never.

The 96 version was a big mistake and never should have been installed on my computer, which is no connection to an "enterprise".

How can I recover a stable non-enterprise related version of Firefox?

For last fiew days I get a double prompt for primary password when I start a firefox session (on linux ubuntu 20.04). I'm worried if this is a bug or a troyan.

What can I do to find out?

Hi, in recent Firefox updates in debian testing (and in recent developer edition), when I try to print a PDF the page number is just in border and don't get printed. I try almost all things i found related in about:config.

Also in export to file, now don't strore previous location and always point to ~/mozilla.pdf is a problem, user need to change for a path each print to pdf. Also in debian the file explorer opened dont show recent files can help.

Thanks so much for your help.

i am using manjaro gnome and to get rid of ui i need to reset firefox but after restart of the system i again get this bad ui. i dont know if this is an extension or what.. i have checked all the active extensions but none have any customization effect on firefox

Dear Devs,

Firefox prevents me from zipping a folder and download it within google drive.

This is regardless my cookies settings as explained here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1312393 and regardless enhanced protection settings as explained here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1305970#answer-1353590.

I will now turn to using google chrome.

I am a retired person trying to use Firefox on a Linux os computer i OWN. To day, Firefox has become unstable. I see in my settles that an "enterprise" now controls my copy of firefox.

How can I eliminate this obstruction?

Most discussion of this problem discusses Windows os and is useless to me.

My os is LinuxMint 19 (Tara)

Please advise!

This is a dealbreaker and I'm quiting firefox because of it.

Event: "Firefox has upgraded in the background and needs to restart.

You will be able to continue where you left off..."

Infuriatingly, there is no option to postpone. All browsing is immediately prevented and there is no option to do anything other than restart. Furthermore, there is no option to turn off automatic updates or even to get a notification that one might be happening until it is too late.

Problem: The restart does not return to "where I left off" with a) only one tab re-opening (plus all private tabs lost); and b) many logins and much form-filling progress lost. For example, I was in the process of submitting a government form in a private tab when, on the last step, instead of the final confirmation page, I got the dreaded "Firefox has upgraded and needs to restart" message. Upon restart, the tab didn't reopen, and I lost the session and had to start again from the beginning with the form filling process. Utterly infuriating and completely unnecessary.

I was putting up with Firefox's other annoying quirks, but this is ridiculous.

I found that the Bullet screen of bilibili.com is always choppy in firefox compared to chrome or edge. My firefox version is 96.0 and OS is linux (opensuse tumbleweed).

Hi from a short time back I've noticed my local pages (vdeveloping on localhost) are being cached regardless of my config which is not caching anything at all. This is particularly annoying when you make small changes and they're not reflected at once but instead they are only after 5,6,... 10 reloading calls.

I've searched for help and followed the instructions of changing options in about:config with no results

I'm using Linux and 96 version of the browser.

Thanks in advance

First of all , Hello  :) FF is a great wb and i use it everywhere i got a machine. Works fine everywhere .. but here on this computer. Why only on this machine ? Same distros ( linux mint 20.3 ) radeon video cards , amd family cpu's This machine is AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor × 6 the video card atm is AMD PITCAIRN (DRM 2.50.0, 5.4.0-94-generic, LLVM 12.0.0) though i had the same crash issue with a nVidia graphics card. Memory is Corsair and the memtest86 reports no errors. This is where i get a bit lost. Memory issues or hardware defects might explain this but where's one to begin ? Trouble is , no other application ever crashes and it's rock solid. So is FF to point a finger at or something else ? That's the objective of me submitting this report. Try to find out what's really at fault here and fix it.

The crashes happen at all times. It can also be right at starting FF and never even reaching the main window. I tried with and without the --safe-mode and it's the same that also happens.

So i submitted one of the crash reports ID: 656264f4-7867-4c55-8b36-0637e0220114

The report can be found here : https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/656264f4-7867-4c55-8b36-0637e0220114

Since there's so many i hesitate to put them all up , there's dozens since the system reinstall yesterday , i reinstalled the whole OS again yesterday to try to get rid of the bug. Any help to solve this once and for all will be highly appreciated . :) thanks for reading

How do I reverse what happened to 'History' when I accidentally clicked 'Forget About This Site' instead of 'Delete Page' on the drop-down menu for the highlighted page in the history feed.

I realise that I caused this problem last night when I clicked the wrong option in the drop-down menu but only became aware of what I had done when I went to my history feed this afternoon. I was looking in my history feed to find a site that I visited yesterday and noticed that a website that I have visited several times earlier today is not appearing in the feed. It is the same site that I clicked the wrong selection in the drop-down menu for last night.

How do I get 'History' to start showing that site in the feed again?

This is pissing me off so much! I'm working and in the middle of everything I have no other option than to completely restart my browser, which can easily resolve into losing what I was doing, not to mention that it completely kills my workflow. STOP DOING THIS! I don't care what the reason is, you're severely hindering the usage of the app. I will decide when to restart, not the app! I have a fresh start of my system every single day, I'm sure whatever unimportant update it was this time can wait a few hours.

Please I just have read lots of people here with the same problem: I want to get rid of this dark mode and there's no help at all to solve this....how can this be possible? Help me please, please, please !!!!
