Firefox Support Forum

My computer was compromised And as a result I had to repair and re install my Microsoft operating system windows 10 pro. That procedure wiped out my Firefox browser and now I have no record. Is there a backup that the browser keeps on a cloud.

hi Edge is 2x faster then Firefox using Onshape 3D cad cad program Firefox picks another driver GTX 980/PCIe/SSE2 Edge use Gforce RTX 3060 PCIe SSe2 How can I make Firefox use the same driver as Edge

its the browser, the opperative said when I phoned in about no access. try chrome, they said and true enough it worked. Just shy of 15 years with firefox and now nothing but problems, the cut and paste does not work and now this! pointless staying with them

This is getting be a more and more common message on CBC.CA -- click on a story, go there, it processes for a few moments, then posts THAT! Chrome doesn't do it but I'm having pw issues with chrome and would much rather stick with FF, so can this be fixed?! What's wrong, what's causing it? I'm using ad blockers but they don't seem to be the problem and I'm at my wits' end. I have no patience for this kind of bullshit, especially when everything always worked before this started happening. Typically it's about five stories out of the twenty-five or so offerings on the page but I'm sick of messing around with it, having to close the tab, go to something else and hope IT doesn't break! Is there a fix? I don't don't know to diagnose this stuff; I'm not a geek, I'm a user. I have SOME skills but not this. Is this FF or is this CBC?!

Try it: website is cbc,ca , just click on some stories and see if they hold. If they do for you then it's my FF.

After a update my browser was running very slow, I'm not sure what I did but my whole browser, including history and bookmarks and add ons reverted back years. But I have a whole folder of Old Firefox Data which is from today.

How do I get this back on there and get everything back to normal?

my browser continues to show symbols instead of words. I troubleshot the font issue and it does not seem to be that. this is on a macbook pro and the browser is updated. I deleted the browser and reinstalled it. which worked for a day but then everything went back to showing symbols. it is intermittent in that sometimes it will show the real words and then a few hours later is will show this.

Hello, once every morning I start 14 tabbed Internet pages. The pages do not fully render unless they are in focus. Is there an About:Config or other setting where I can get all 14 pages to fully and completely render without getting each one into focus one by one?

This is a very slow process and is annoying over time. I believe there was a time where Firefox would render all tabs/pages without getting each one into focus.

Thanks in Advance.

With increasing frequency, when I open Yahoo in Firefox, there are no photos on the site and I can't access my email. In order to fix this, I have to shut off my computer and do a clean reboot. Then it works for a while, but then, all of a sudden I have the problem again. When I use a different browser (Chrome, Edge), I never have this problem. I thought it was Ghostery that was interfering, because Ghostery does screen out a lot of stuff, so I turned Ghostery off. It made no difference. What solution do you have to offer for this problem? I really don't want to switch to Chrome or Edge, because Firefox's general user interface is so far superior, but the issue I have described is a serious one. (There are two or three other websites that also don't work with Firefox when it comes to user doing data input on the site, but I'll be sending a separate inquiry on that).

Thank you, Alan Rosenbaum

I want to use a command option to open a new blank tab in a specified portable instance of Firefox using a specified profile.

I constructed my command like this:

"Path-to-Firefox-executable" -profile "Path-to-Profile" -new-tab "about:blank"

It partially works (it opens the correct instance of Firefox and uses the correct specified profile) however it always opens about:newtab instead of about:blank.

Seeing as I am specifying the exact page to open, any New Tab settings in the browser should not matter, and I should just get the page that has been specified in the command.

If I manually type about:blank into the url bar, then a blank page opens as expected, so the url is correct, it just won't work for me as part of the above command line.

Does anybody else have this issue? How can I get this to work correctly?

Is there a way to use the default xfce windows instead of firefox`s own? I mean I have my own setting in the xfce window manager that are not applyed to firefox. fo example: I unchecked Raise windows when clicking inside application window, that is not applyed to firefox, I also have a context menu when right clicking on other windows title bars that I can customize, In firefox I have something total else.

What can I do to prevent Firefox from keeping me out of certain websites and showing this error message: Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, www.ganjingworld.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

I restarted my computer and when I booted Firefox up it looked completely different. I'm assuming they updated, but updates never impacted my settings before and in this case none of my sessions or history is left.

I logged in to my Mozilla account and that recovered my extensions, though not my toolbar settings.

The real issue is that all of my tabs and windows are gone. In History, "Recently closed windows" is greyed out and Recently closed tabs shows nothing but what's been opened since I restarted.

Is there any way to recover my history?

Edit:

Resolved: Somehow a blank profile had been set as the default.

After years of shopping online with Tesco using Firefox suddenly I can no longer log in to Tesco.com. Just get 'Access Denied. You do not have permission to access------etc' I am sure that this happened after the last update of Firefox ! Tesco say its not their problem and the problem is with my Firefox browser. Please advise.

Trying to access my Tesco account but a page saying 'Access Denied on this server' appears. Can you rectify this? I urgently need to login to my Tesco Account.

PS. I have tried to solve the problem for 2 days but no success!

I have been playing gin rummy plus on my windows 10 pc in my firefox browser with no problem until a few minutes ago when I tried to sign in to the game again. I got this message: Your browser does not support WebGL. The game works fine on my laptop using the same browser. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
