Firefox Community Forum

Sometime in not more than the last two weeks (maybe just since 9/1/24?) I started seeing this: 1. open new tab, see small FF icon and "New Tab" text. 2. enter URL and press 'Enter', or, click a favorite/hotlink on that page. 3. between that time and the time that the page actually loads, the tab icon changes from FF to the new-twitter "X" icon! 4. the "X icon" remains even after the "New Tab" text changes, and does not change to the icon of the actual web site until after its page has (fully?) loaded. See screen shots. FF version 129.0.2 (64-bit) PS - I do not use Twitter/X. I do not believe that I have ever been there, and certainly not on purpose. I use Duck Duck Go as my search engine I have not done any cache flushing, etc.

This is my original post. No response at all. Disappointing.

Non functioning Export/Import, upload images

At this point, if I could just get an opinion, a direction you might follow, if this was happening to you

It keeps recurring. This time it took 3 weeks from the time that last post. As I said in the past post, the problem is a corrupted 'sessionstore.jsonlz4 file.

My evidence is that when i ran about:support - Troubleshooting, the problem was still happening.

I just mounted a backup profile, created during the last incident. Works fine. I took the sessionstore.jsonlz4 from that backup and replaced the one in the problem profile.

After doing the replacement, the problematic profile symptoms have disappeared. At least for now, that is.

But now, I have to restore the missing portion of the session (tabs/history) created between the last occurrence and now, because of the replacement of the corrupted sessionstore.jsonlz4 with the backup.

Nobody has offered a way to do this that is not a time consuming ordeal.

What would you do?

Get me a telephone call to start a process of overcoming incomprehensible, useless software(?) error messages, and meaningless "instructions" and "support" that requires expert parsing of IT protocols far beyond the ability of probably 95% or more of lay technology users. My name is Marc and my telephone is [edited phone# from community support forum]; call any time between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. U.S. CDT any day at all ending in the letter "Y".

While using Firefox browser. my space key does not work. I am sending this with Safari.

Everything I compose or ask comes out as one word. Even using Google etc.

I have a Logitech Streamcam that I have been having some problems with. I noticed that Firefox stopped working with my Webcam some time ago and I can't seem to figure out why.

My webcam works fine on Chrome and using the camera app on my desktop. I hooked the webcam up to my Macbook and was able to connect to it just fine, even using Firefox.

I tested my webcam using this website: https://webcamtests.com/check When I go there I get this error message: "Could not find a web camera, however there are other media devices (like speakers or microphones). Most likely, this means that your webcam is not working properly or your browser cannot access it."

When I try to have it forcibly start the camera it gives me this error message: "NotFoundError: The object can not be found here.; DOMException".

I tried clearing the cache, running Firefox in safe mode, clearing all privacy and security settings, and reinstalling Firefox but none of it help, I also tried clearing the cache and got the same result.

Windows security settings show Firefox last accessed my webcam on 2021-11-08 and there are no access requests from Firefox since then.

Any idea of whats going on or what troubleshooting I can do from here?

i need help, thx.

Whenever I try to watch a youtube video or hulu show, firefox refuses to load up the media. On youtube, clicking play just shows the video thumbnail with a loading circle and the youtube logo in the center. Sometimes it'll play the first few seconds but then go back to the loading circle. Hulu won't even display the media and just show a black screen. I've first though it might've been my adblocker but turning it off and going into troubleshoot mode results in the same thing. I've also tried doing a full uninstall and reinstall but the problem persists. Not sure what else to try.

Hello, I'm wondering why the review checker tool might give vastly different ratings for the same product with different options chosen. For example, if I'm looking at a shirt on Amazon, the review checker might rate the listing for the shirt with the default color as 4.5 stars adjusted rating with A or B rated reviews, but when I switch to the next color, it will often show a very low review rating, like F, along with a low adjusted product rating. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if the tool is displaying correct information about certain selections of the listings' options. Thanks!

A few days ago started having issues when going to facebook. Now it will not load, states "connection error" after several minutes. Tried clearing cache and cookies. Has not helped. Other browsers are working good. Only Firefox. Need further assistance. Thank you.

My original install crashed, and kept saying to close, and would not stop.... I tried uninstalling all of Firefox and when I install the new clean version, the messages continue and will not install the application. How do I completely remove Firefox and install a fresh copy?

I cannot login into my spectrum.net account using Firefox. I get error IDID-4000, which no one at Spectrum seems to understand, other than to wait 24 hours and try again. I can login into my account using Edge just fine. I use Firefox exclusively and don't like having to switch. anything you can do to fix this login problem?

I can connect to the internet just fine most of the time, I can use google chrome just fine, but the moment I open up Firefox my computer loses all connection to the internet until I close firefox. At which point I once again have a normal connection. I have tried repairing the program, I have tried a full uninstall and re-install.

I have been connecting to a cloud pc (windows365.microsoft.com - because my employer won't allow contractors to access their network directly any longer) using Mozilla Firefox. All went well until I upgraded Firefox to 130.0 Now the cloud PC still "connects" (as in open remote port, configure remote connection, establish secure connection, etc.) BUT where it used to show the (full screen) unauthorized access message which you had to acknowledge, it now just shows a black screen. My account details can still be accessed from here (and it even shows a successful sign-in through Mozilla Firefox). The Windows11 desktop is not shown though, so effectively useless. I was wondering if there is a setting in Firefox 130.0 that prevents this acknowledge message screen from being displayed ?

I can't see all of the bookmarks added to a particular topic. I can only see the oldest ones. When I try to search them or edit them they are all there but there seems to be a limit to the ones which are displayed. I think this behaviour has just started after an update.
