while playing Pogo on Firefox this week , the page started to flicker sometimes. now it just crashes and disappears at random, usually a few minutes of playing. then today it also did this to my gmail while checking emails. This doesn't happen in another browser (Edge, Chrome) only Firefox, my preferred browser. I've cleared the cache, rebooted, checked for updates etc. This happens on desktop and 2 laptops so far. Thank you.

I have been using Bing search and home page but today, it is gone and I cannot reinstate it via "settings". At the top of the settings page is shows: Your browser is being managed by your organization. I don't know what that means or even if it is blocking my efforts to reinstate the Bing search engine. I have limited technology experience and have checked all avenues that I understand and still no luck. Can you help me?

why do I get multiple parentbuildID processors running in one session? It makes me worry (on this windows 7 machine)

I understand childID1 and up. On release 94, the parentbuildID numeric values are the same. Change my 'WHY' to just "Is this normal and OK?"

I use Flightradar24 and recently when I AM ON THE Application and Highlight the chosen aircraft then Click-on "3D View" Firefox quits, every time. This is only a recent (one week) problem and is unconnected with MACOS ? Can anybody help?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro (Intel) to Monterey 12.0.1 and now Firefox 94.1 will not access the internet - no error messages, just hangs. I have re-installed Firefox and Monterey but no change. Meanwhile Chrome works perfectly.

Any ideas?

(I am using another machine for this query.)

I used to have an APP that looked like a backward c to sign out. It gives you 3 different time lengths to use. Then it warns that all data will be lost. You press the key at the bottom and signs you out and then immediately right back in. This just disappeared.

Also where are all the apps that were grouped together I think they were under command? I could just click on one (like the printer) and drag it to my task bar. I can't find it either.

I am still debugging as my former three threads suggest. However, on my Mac Catalina every website I view has a barebones look, too much white where there should be colors and pictures. After the last Firefox update I thought that I would see the problem remedied. What could be wrong? I just disabled the two plugins I have, which Firefox imported from its setup on my Windows 7. Thank you. On some sites drop down menus do not work. In fact, I cannot check the box below, "Email me when someone answers..."

Just installed Firefox and it turned all my .webm videos and .PDF files into Firefox HTML Documents. This is totally unacceptable, how can this browser be released to the public this way. I need access to the videos for editing for work. Our software will not recognize HTML documents as videos.....gee, there's a surprise. Now, my manager is giving me a hard time for installing Firefox, since the preferred browser that we're suppose to use is Google Chrome. He's telling me I need to get this resolved because they're not going to pay for our IT guy to come in and fix it. I've always used Firefox in the past and never had this problem until I reinstalled the Windows operating system and reinstalled Firefox. How do YOU fix this, I need the videos back in their true format.

Facebook pictures quit appearing after long session. What appears is a "box" with brief descriptive text.

This began about a month ago.

Works fine for about an hour or more.

Clearing cache does not help.

Going slower or waiting does not help.

Happens at all hours, same way, at busy or low use times.

Different DNS at the two locations.

If I totally shut down the system and reboot, that usually fixes it for a while. Shut down Firefox and restart does not help.

This occurs on two different, but similar machines at two different locations, with different fiber-fed ISPs.

Firefox 94.0, 64bit, Ubuntu 18.04
