I found many similar issues here and over the net, but none seem to work for my case.
I have this URL in my address bar suggestions, that is not in history. I used "Forget about this site" to remove it from history. I've also cleared my cached data from Privacy options (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache)
I don't think killing "places.sqlite" will help, since it's not contained in `moz_places` table:
sqlite> SELECT * FROM moz_places WHERE url LIKE '%xkcd.org%';
sqlite>
So this website is actually a typo for xkcd.com web-comics.
I've tried https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-websites-address-bar-suggestions. This does not work since the suggestion is not on first page. I have to type in 'x' to see this wrong suggestion. Shitf-Delete does not work, since it only deletes the autocompleted string from suggested URL.
I use Mozilla account to sync, so maybe that may cause it -- other profile connected to account?

Why can't Firefox v69.0.1 64 bit for Windows select text in Google search results

FF just updated to v69.0.1 64 bit on my Windows 7 PC, and now I can't select text in Google search results. The cursor changes to a hand and pointing finger when moved over the text in Google results. It then behaves as if it's trying to select an area of an image where the entire image moves, and the cursor changes to a black circle with a slash through it. I usually drag and drop images to a local folder like that. I CAN select text from the very beginning or very end of the individual Google results. But I've never had any problems selecting text in Google results like this.
Funny as the 32 bit copy of Firefox v69.0.1 on my Windows 10 notebook doesn't have this problem. And the problem seems to be specific to Google. I haven't noticed any problems selecting text on other web pages.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to resolve it?

Prefer browsing incognito most of the time if only to avoid cluttered history list.(Sometimes want to save history log from some particular dates).& Doesn't incognito mode offer more privacy as it does on the desktop?

it seems that some times I remain Logged in for longer periods of time.Is this mostly depending on the particular website? Thanks for any help.

Thunderbird is designed to leave pasted hyperlinks as plain text in the Composer and doesn't add the anchor tag until after the message is sent. The writer can use the Insert menu to force addition of the anchor tag but it takes additional clicks most email clients don't require. With all the customization available in Thunderbird is there anyway to show pasted URLs in a different color than body text? I prefer some sort of visual confirmation there is a URL in the message before pressing the Send button.

Login to the New York Times is in a permanent loop. You login in the usual way, and the page loads without logging you in. It tries to sell me a subscription when I already have one. I have already cleared the cache and cookies and suffered having all of my websites broken by Firefox forcing us to re-login to everything on the web over and over because we have to go through the ritual of clearing cache and cookies over and over because Firefox is always malfunctioning. I have already permanently disabled "hardware acceleration" and have done all of these multiple times, numerous times. It's undoubtedly Firefox built in security devices that are causing this block. Chrome does not cause this, but there are other reasons not to use Chrome unless I have to, which is what I now have to do because of Firefox hyper-intrusive "security" software. If I could disable all the security bloat in Firefox, I would do so. It's just impossible. It does on month after month, year after year. We are prisoners of these device builders!

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

Firefox almost always crashes on closing. If I reopen firefox within a couple mins of closing it tells me it can't open because it is already running. If I leave it closed usually after several mins I get a notification that it has crashed. I've tried disabling all add ons/refresh/disabling sync etc. with no luck so just trying to see if anyone has any ideas on possible culprits. This is on multiple Win 10 machines, can post more crash reports later tonight. My other system it happens every single time I close it.

Hello,
I have run into a weird issue where my custom colors set in `Display > Formatting > Fonts & Colors > Colors > Text and Background` have stopped working and I cannot figure out what to do (it only shows black text with white background). The first time it happened I ended up removing my old profile and starting over which worked for a bit until now. I have turned off `Use system colors` and the override is `Only with High Contrast themes`. I am able to change the composer message colors, but the main reader defaults to black and white regardless of the color settings.
I haven't been able to find any pertinent settings in `about:config` and the colors are shown to be set there. I also have messages to be shown as plain text, and the default theme is enabled.

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

The passing of Windows credentials into our homepage using a mozilla.cfg file isn't working properly and I can't figure out why. I know Firefox is reading the config file because the homepage is correctly pointed. However I have edited the following settings to:
lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-trusted-uris", "servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-delegation-uris", "servername.domain.corp");
This is what the settings are for the homepage: //set intranet as home page lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
When I open firefox it directs to our homepage, however it prompts for credentials. Am I missing something?

68.1 disabled a vital add-on for me, "Calendar Tweaks". I tried to go back to an earlier version of Thunderbird that supports "Calendar Tweaks", but when I did, it told me that 68.1 altered my profile, and that the profile would not load in the older version. How do I go back to an earlier version of Thunderbird and still use my profile? (You should warn people when add-ons are going to be disabled by your updates, so we can avoid the update.)

Long time Firefox user on linux and only recently noticed this RAM usage issue. Maybe it also affects FF 68?
I can use firefox all day running linux peppermint OS 9(fully updated) with Xanmod kernel 4.19.66 but after I suspend the laptop and resume, firefox behaves normally for approx. 1/2 hour then RAM usage increases dramatically. I only noticed this while running a virtual machine and FF ate all my remaining ram.
Minimizing memory usage from about:memory helps for a short while but FF will again consume too much ram.
However, if I close FF and restart teh ram usage stays within normal limits all day ...until I suspend and wake the laptop again.
I have noticed this issue on two different configurations:
1. T510 laptop running Peppermint OS 9 with windows virtual guest taking majority of RAM. FF on linux host usually stays within 2GB of usage but after suspend it jumps much higher and consumes ram freezing the laptop.
2. W530 laptop running Windows 10 OS (1903) and Linux Peppermint 10 OS as virtual guest. FF on linux guest also consumes more RAM after waking Win10 from suspend and crashes Linux virtual guest.
