Hi, I installed Thunderbird and now have a problem. When I click on a link in an email, I get the prompt: ‘Select an application to open the https link’. As options, I get various TB files in.exe or in folders. What should I do, please? Andrej O. (I donated to MOZILLA...)

I've been using Firefox Nightly for 4 years without a problem but yesterday Firefox Nightly started crashing on my Windows11 laptop. I tried reinstall it, install Firefox, downgrade it to 130.0.1, uninstall latest updates from Windows but nothing worked Firefox Nightly/ Firefox always crash after a few minutes at max. I tried to go to troubleshoot mode in Firefox but it crashes as well. In about:crashes I got these two crashes but they seem outdated: bp-4ab3e697-d505-4750-84f3-765c40240901 9/1/2024, 2:16 PM bp-306f59a9-b324-4b80-9bf3-7438a0240807 8/7/2024, 6:31 PM I am using Bitdefender and disabling it doesn't solve it even in combination with troubleshoot mode. I've also changed my paging file size to: intitial size: 24576MB maximum size: 49152MB I have 16GB RAM but still Firefox is crashing. I couldn't find anything else on the internet. Thanks in advance

After updating to Firefox 128.3.0esr a few days, ago my Hotmail email application started freezing after printing emails. I assume this freezing issue is tied to the update, because I have never experienced this with Firefox before updating to 128.3.0esr. I can open and print an email, but after doing that the screen for that tab freezes.

Other open tabs in FF are not affected while this freeze occurs in the tab with my Hotmail/Outlook webmail. The other tabs all remain fully functioning, even if one of the open tabs is for my Hotmail email. I can scroll through messages and perform all normal email functions in the other open tabs, but if I want to print an email, then that tab will freeze just like the first one.

I cannot reload the page when this occurs. The only solution is to shut that tab and start over with a new tab. I have tried shutting down and restarting Firefox with a new session, but the freeze issue persists after printing an email. This problem does not occur with Safari. Is there a solution for this?

This happened to me multiple times, and although it doesn't happen every time when it does I have no idea what lead to it except this happens on websites with a lot of images such as web comics or even something like YT with its thumbnails.

Suddenly, the scrolling feels very choppy and laggy, as if it was running at a much lower frame rate. I can tell the difference easily as I use a phone with a screen with 120hz refresh rate.

I managed to fix it last time by going through the settings, and toggling on and off everything I could. And I have no idea what exactly fixed it.

Turning off all the add ons does nothing.

I have Windows 11 on my computer, it is up to date, and I have downloaded Firefox several times and yet it keeps telling me it has a problem, shuts down and restarts . I have lost many downloads and emails because of it. I just made an e mail and just before I finished it to send, it told me there was a problem, it needed to restart and the email was lost. The same is with Windows 11. I have downloaded it many times, saved pages , news etc. and when I open the document or item, it tells me that I need to update my browser It is not my computer. I have even at times done Recovery and eventually have the same problem app

The Trash folder suddenly shows no messages contained. The folder repair procedure did not fix the problem. Reinstalling the app did not change the problem. How can this be fixed without loosing settings or data?

Whenever i change Firefox window sizes(moving to second monitor) or full screen on other videos, random YouTube videos in the background will start unpausing and randomly playing.

A couple of weeks ago my Firefox desktop suddenly stopped loading images correctly. This is especially true for image-heavy websites like Tumblr. Images will either not load or only partially load. It takes several refreshes to get even 75% of images to load properly (including Shift+Ctrl+R). My Internet connection and speed are normal. Weirdly, other browsers loaded images fine at first, but now they're laggy, too? They still work better in comparison, though. And the Internet on my iPhone and iPad are perfectly fine.

I've tried all of these multiple times: Restarting my PC, Internet, and router. Disabling certain extensions (especially those for Tumblr and ad blockers). Restarting in Troubleshoot Mode without extensions. Reducing number of tabs.

I tried the different Profile trick I found Googling this issue to death, and it works, but I want to fix my default profile's issues if I can. Oh, and YouTube is insufferable to watch and crashes the browser, but I suspect that might have to do more with what YouTube's trying to do with ad blockers. Especially since Chrome isn't much better on that count (aside from the crashing).

Edit: This issue started occurring around the time I downloaded the last Firefox update before the latest one. I thought installing the latest one might solve the problem, but it didn't. This might just be a coincidence.

When I go to listen to my KQED passport films, I used to be able to hear the dialogue at less than 50%. Now I need to turn it up to 100% to even vaguely hear anything. I was wondering if there is any way I can make it louder. This happened only recently. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have followed various instructions I found (such as stopping all add-ons etc, starting firefox in safe mode etc etc), but still no joy.

When I click on a link in an email (outlook although not relevant I dont think), Firefox opens a new instance, starts in first tab with my default home page and then .... nothing. If I copy the selected hyperlink and put it in the search bar it works fine. More importantly, if I change *all* my defaults to say Chrome and try, it works fine.

Any suggestions on what I am missing from the various solutions? (Been happening for ages - maybe a year or more I think).

I have noticed that many a times (even with the latest update installed) randomly etrade website does not load. Not sure why? I have deleted the history etc and still...

On the bottom left I see "Read c.evidon.com" the hourglass in the tab.

For months I've been living with an ongoing problem; when I watch some YouTube videos, the entire window will go black while the audio continues. I searched for solutions, which usually suggested the I turn off ad-blocking (which I don't recall turning on) and I was offered instructions to go to "OPTIONS" which doesn't exist on my version of FireFox, and no HELP articles offered a better solution. It seems that lots of people have this problem but MOZILLA ignores it or CANNOT fix it.

But I found a FIX. I no longer have this problem with YouTube. YouTube is a GOOGLE product, so I installed the CHROME browser. I think my FireFox related YouTube problems are now a thing of the past.

I would URGE MOZILLA to recognize the RUMBLE.com app and develope RUMBLE optimization tools similar to those that Mozilla developed for YouTube. RUMBLE is the free-speed answer to YouTube and is NOT owned by GOOGLE. It would be a no-brainer for MOZILLA to strongly support RUMBLE, but they act as though they've never heard of it. WAKE UP, HIPPIES!

My webmail is earthlink.net. Lately it has been unbearably slow. I complained online last week, and suddenly the problem was cleared up. It is way too slow again. (Moving around the internet is fast as always.) What do I do?

By accident I erased all the info at the bottom i.e., all the items that are also listed on the left side plus the date and time. How do I get all that info back??

Hi,

when I watch 360 videos on youtube, the video glitches. Like it stutters, as if its going back and forth in frames constantly. Before, it did not use to do that. I could watch the 360 videos just fine. I even tried refreshing and reinstalling firefox. It did not work. Please help.

First noticed the issue on 10/03 where while watching some streams on twitcth, I noticed that audio would play smoothly but the video feed was stuttering every other second. Have gone through and made several changes to the about:config section, some of those changes include.

layers.acceleration.force-enabled media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled network.http.throttle.version media.suspend-bkgnd-video.enabled

Also checked the stream stats for twitch while watching and compared them to what happens when watching the same stream on chrome and noticed that in Firefox, the FPS counter would completely disappear and my skipped frames would increase by the several thousands.

When compared to Chrome, which has been actively playing the stream for nearly 2 hours plus, my skipped frames has not jumped anywhere near the levels Firefox has.

Changing the latency mode does nothing, stream quality doesnt make a difference. The only way to stop the stuttering is to refresh the page or stream, but this issue occurs every 5-10 minutes when prior to 10/03 issue never occured.

From what I can tell the issue also occurs on Youtube. Issue also gets worse if I were to click onto another Firefox window/tab.

Note: the ss with the massive amount of skipped frames is Firefox, and the other is Chrome.

Note2: Troubelshoot mode didnt help either as after letting it sit longer the same problem would occur

The web site for Pacific Gas and Electric (pge.com) rejects Firefox and lists other browsers that it will accept. Does anyone at Mozilla care about such rejections?
