My laptop did a Windows update, Firefox worked ok, even opened the last session before update, but suddendly it crashed and next time I opened it, all personal profil data was gone. I can't find any of my personal settings either in Firefox nor in AppData either. Bookmarks, add-ons, all gone. Any chance to recover them and where?! And how come this occurred in the first place?

I've read some similar problems, but I can't figure out how to "do" some of the fixes. I did reset Firefox. I don't see where anyone found creating a new profile helped, so I didn't try that. I don't know how to execute "print.printer_Brother_MFC-8810DW_Printer.print_paper_data;1" as recommended in question "1261806". Could someone please give me the step by step instructions? Thanks!

Ever since i installed a PCI-E slot wifi card my system was freezing but after uninstalling firefox and using chrome there have been 0 crashes.
It usually happens when watching a Video (Youtube/Twitch).
Disabling hardware acceleration decreases crash in Firefox but it still crashes some time.
Basically what happens is the computer freezes, the audio keeps playing for while until i press crtl alt delete and then it all freezes up.
There seems to be a conflict between Firefox Version, latest nvidia drivers + the wifi drivers (Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I)
Everything was updated to lastest drivers, including Bios, Motherboard, Graphics, and Wifi, Firefox version.
Event viewer message before crash says:
The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\Video3 0c83(1780) 00000000 00000000
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table
My computer specs:
MSI geforce gtx 770 graphics card. Evga Supernova 750w G2 gold power supply Asus PRIME B450-PLUS AMD Ryzen 2700x Vulcan T-Force 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 Samsung Evo 850 SSD +1 extra ssd, +1 hdd, +1 usb drive. 1 monitor, 1 screen/pen tablet. Windows 10, 64 bit.
Any input as I would like to keep using FireFox in the future.
Thanks.

I want to bookmark 10 selected history pages. I selected them, and right-click gives me the context menu as shown on the attached screen shot. But selecting "Bookmark Pages" does not work. Only individual pages selected this way will bookmark. And the option there "Open all in tabs" works fine, and I can then bookmark the 10 open tabs. But that wastes my time and bandwidth, and supposing I want to bookmark hundreds of history pages? Opening them all in tabs would break the machine.

Im a bit frustrated with this as I've accumulated a bit many themes and I would rather not have to go through each individual theme to remember what it looks like, lol. My first assumption was possibly something to do with flash, or maybe a re-install of Firefox. Flash wasnt the issue, but what really stumped me was when I had re-installed Firefox , the image previews for every single theme had actually loaded and remained for about 5 minutes. Then all of a sudden, gone. So obviously the images are capable of being displayed, but something is being difficult. If anyone happens to recognize this issue, a solution would be so very appreicated. :) Thank you!

I have the same issue as: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1176616 - which hasn't been solved.
Functionally, I am in the same circumstances as that user. Everything in my Firefox is in eng-US except for the Search Suggestions, which are in my native language. That makes me furious.
That thread already has screenshots so i need not attach any.
This user on Reddit also has the same issue but found no solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/9zk6vs/how_to_stop_firefox_from_giving_search/

A day or two ago when i started my computer up it needed to repair something since then i have been unable to stream any videos through firefox apart from youtube. It either says "no compatible source was found for this media" or " this video fine cannot be played. (error Code: 214000)". I have tried removing and re installing fire fox, I have my direct X up to date, i have adobe installed/ up to date. I downoo9aded the Microsoft media feature pack, I have tried disabling all my addons/ extensions nothing seems to work. If anyone could help me out that would be amazing. I really dont like google chromes set up but if that is the only way i can stream videos i might have to get used to it.
Any idea?
I'm having problem, on making my fire fox browser as a default. Any idea?

I enabled Sync on my new laptop and synced it with FF on my desktop computer. I selected all six of the features to sync, including History. But the history will not sync. Only the bookmarks and open tabs are syncing. I noticed that when I hit the "Sync now" button, it says "Syncing tabs...". Has this changed? I'm sure it used to say "Syncing..." without the word Tabs on my old laptop, where history was syncing properly. Is there a new setting I have missed?
Firefox crashes on webpage opening in New Tab since 69.0.0, random occurence, does not generate crash reports.

Hello,
Finally decided to make a topic about it as all of my attempts in the past few months to fix it have been in vain. Starting from Firefox 69.0 or even perhaps in 68.0, I cannot exactly remember, Firefox started to randomly crash when I opened a New Tab and tried either Googling or opening a webpage through the address bar. This crash does not create any crash reports, going to "about:crashes" does not reveal anything, neither are any crash reports stored locally.
I have tried running Firefox in safe mode, without extensions, deleting my cache files from APPDATA/Local, deleting my profile files from APPDATA/Roaming and a lot of other stuff I honestly cannot remember anymore, but nothing has helped. I even tried downgrading to 68.0, but I received some kind of big warning message and did not want to proceed.
The issue itself in essence is a full freeze, which sometimes takes a second until firefox crashes, but sometimes takes 15 seconds. During that time the only thing I can see in Task Manager is that Firefox has a "Very High" power usage, which is bizarre, since I am not even running it on a notebook (i7-9700K factory clock, RTX 2080S, 16GB DDR4 RAM). As said, it never produces a crash report, so I have been reluctant in reporting it in the past. And since it is random and can take many hours to occur (or can occur first thing after I turn on PC and open Firefox), it is basically impossible for me to record a video about it.
(While writing this, I went to look something in a new tab, tried opening my Gmail account and the crash occurred. Added a task manager screenshot about what I meant by power usage. Fortunately it allowed me to restore the session and I did not have to re-type the entire text)
From what I can gather, the issue started to happen around the time I switched over from GTX 1070 to RTX 2080 SUPER GPU. But I cannot really imagine how a GPU upgrade could influence Firefox stability. Even less so since the same Firefox issue has persevered through multiple GPU driver updates.
Hope you guys have some suggestions what to try here. Perhaps some changes in about:config that could help me out here?
Thanks in advance, Rasmus

I noticed that the secure URL padlock icon is now grey instead of green. This is intuitively wrong: it makes me think it's not really secure, so I found on another forum the about: config setting for this and changed it back to green. I have about 20 FF profiles across several devices, and these all share a common user.js file which I edit in a Dropbox folder and copy to all the profiles. I placed this setting into the common user.js file:
user_pref("security.secure_connection_icon_color_gray", false);
But it doesn't work. Do I have the syntax wrong, or is there another setting for this?
