I do not know when it happened but I just noticed it today. I have followed all trouble shooting steps; 1. Restart Computer 2. Open in Trouble shooting mode. 3. Uninstall Firefox. 4 Refresh Firefox. Nothing has worked. I took a screen shot and it is attached. When ever I open a new tab this symbol appears for a few seconds and then changes to the icon of what I am opening, G for google, H for HULU etc. I am worried that it is some type of Malware but none can be found on my system.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Windows 7 64 bit all service packages

Technical support/customer service and hordes of other baseline staff, supervisors and managers at the actual company have been contacted about this numerous times, however they only have 3 abilities 1 Research the Web/keyword a knowledgebase 2 Recite prerecorded A) answers to frequently asked questions B) explanations of company policy 3 Redirect to other departments admin levels agencies or companies all of which have the same 3 abilities so what some volunteers can do that are not engineers and not employees I don't know.

Maybe this is one reason why everybody is migrating to Chrome - that and the increasing number of websites that don't function in Firefox anymore regardless of the build.

This creates numerous stalemates all looping one back over the other over the other over the other like electrons in an atom and no resolution is forthcoming. Maybe this is why everybody is migrating to Chrome. That and so many websites don't work on Firefox anymore.

Right clicking to bring up the Developer Panel to e g erase i.e. paywalls and other similar annoyances and impediments to browsing (especially when they slow down and or crash the computer) however now the developer panel type and size is so huge you can't use it for the same purpose.

As stated above, the three normally recommended solutions have produced no results.

Windows 7 here due to our business depending on a large number of programs that i) have not been rewritten for Windows 10 ii) the Windows 7 versions don't run on Windows 10 including in a Windows 7 shell so the common redirect to upgrading the OS is not an option at this time.

After Firefox update 115.2.0esr (20230821110938) was installed on 9/8, I could not properly access my online banking accounts. Installation of Firefox update 115.2.1esr (20230912014149) on 9/16 did not resolve the issue. Can these two updates be uninstalled? I was still able to access my online banking accounts after Firefox update 115.1.0esr (20230724124053) was installed on 8/8. I want to revert back to that point to see if this will resolve the issue.

Thank you!

OS = Windows 7 Pro. Web-browser = Firefox. Both worked very well for many years on desktop PC and laptop. Recently desktop PC repeatedly reported "Windows Explorer has stopped" whenever Firefox was started. Today I updated Firefox on my laptop after several weeks of non-use. "Windows Explorer has stopped" appeared immediately Firefox started - error never seen before on the laptop. Could the most recent update to Firefox be the cause of this fault?

Setting browser.urlbar.trimURLS ti false does nor change this behavior.

'Block Site' merely blocks access to a list of sites, but does not stop them appearing. is there a way to stop websites which use <gob.mx> in the address, which attempt to re-direct to 'mirror' sites that try to steal personal info and generate 'Illegal re-direct' warnings from anti-virus programs from appearing in firefox searches, automatically, rather than having to enter <XXXXXXX, -gob.mx> each time I search ?

Dzień dobry, nie mogę uruchomić uwierzytelniania dwuetapowego, za pomocą aplikacji Google Authenticator. po zeskanowaniu kodu QR i utworzeniu konta Firefox w aplikacji podane kody są odrzucane przez system. Miałem już aktywne logowanie 2-etapowe, ale usunąłem je, ponieważ chciałem zresetować aplikację i tę funkcję. Tym razem funkcja nie działa. Proszę o pomoc. Maciej Jeziorski

I messed up. After downloading the latest version an erroer [failed to read config file came up each time I started. So I googled and the common answer was to reinstall. Idiot that I am I did notg back up bookmarks etc and so lost them all. I uised Recuva to retrieve deleted files and found 2 files places.sqlite-wal and places.sqlite.shm Is there any way to put these in the new Mozilla somewhere? I write now and all my research links were in there. Would be great to get them back somehow.

Hi all,

I migrated from a very old Windows 7 system to a recent Windows 11 one. I'm using the most recent version of Firefox developer edition on the new version. To use my old settings, I copied my old profile folder to the new machine. Everything worked out fine, however, I still have the "incombatibility" badge on the menu panel (see screenshot). Is there any way to get rid of this?
