My workflow is such that organize my tabs into separate windows for distincty different subjects. Generally this work fine; when I shut down, they typically re-open as before.

Recently this function has stopped working. Now when I launch Firefox after a shutdown, the "Window" menu shows that the separate windows still exist, but some of them stubbornly refuse to re-open. Clicking the individual titles in the window menu has no effect, they remain unopened.

When this happened to me a few years ago, I was advised to re-start my laptop in safe mode. At that time this procedure solved the problem, but now it does nothing. Does anyone hve an alternate suggestion?

I am currently using Firefox v132.0 on a 2024 MacBoook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.

Thanks!

Now when I try to go to partsbase if last for a fraction of second and then gives me a blank screen. I works fine on chrome. Don't really want to switch to chrome but I have to be able to use this site to stay in business.

My Firefox started crashing a lot recently. Dozens of tab crashes within the span of just a minute or two are not uncommon. Sometimes, the entire browser itself crashes. Usually, the reason given is a vague EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE or EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. I should note that in my case, the crashes affect most of the browsers I use, but they do not crash nearly as often as firefox does.

I've tried using it without any extensions (clean install), and with hardware acceleration disabled. I've run a RAM test also, which showed no issues. Disk check also indicated no issues. I installed windows 10 and even windows 11 on the secondary hard disk, but the issue persisted. I've also tried forcing my discrete/integrated GPU to be used solely as the display adapter, but the crashes still persisted.

When using firefox on ubuntu, the crashes do not happen, strangely. There was only one instance that I noticed the crashes on ubuntu, and that was when I set my discrete graphics card as the exclusive display adapter, from the BIOS settings.

Anyway, nothing really sticks out as the root cause. Wonder if someone is able to decipher anything from the crash reports below https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-6927a483-6c22-4830-b057-1413e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-42b9b1f5-5820-4ed9-9c52-30c8e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-0b92e804-00e8-4515-9129-3b5db0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-d27cdb0b-3e38-4507-925b-09ce30240914 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-fa6b0609-ae19-4a66-a81d-078040240911

Firefox browser

I have been using Firefox for some years now and wondered why all of a sudden it is slowing my computer down and slows down my web pages when I am in them.

The firefox container tabs no longer have the container name just the color. I've looked at the setting, but nothing is there. Hovering over tab does not help. It used to work up until a few months ago.

This is difficult when different containers only show color and not what type they are ex. Personal, Banking...etc

Thanks,

Sometimes I open several windows and some tabs in every window. It would be great if there is some possibility to get all windows but one closed an all tabs moved to this last open window to clean up this mess.

For example:

Window1:TabA,TabB.TabC Window2:TabD,TabE Window3:TabF,TabG,TabH,TabI

will become:

Window1:TabA,TabB,TabC,TabD,TabE,TabF,TabG,TabH,TabI

Has anybody a solution for this? Maybe an addon, which I didn't find?

When I am using certain apps as webpages and I input information firefox keeps asking to update password even though the password has not been changed nor am I even in the place where passwords would be entered. Is there a way to turn this off at least for certain webpages ? Even manually and individually would be fine, maybe an option on the "update password" box to "not on this site" or something like that. Thanks,

So firefox randomly crashes. It briefly shows "Gah! Your tab has crashed" before it closes. There is no crash log, and when you open it up again it asks if I want to restore tabs and if you say yes, they all come back just as they were.

There is no particular website it crashes on, nor a particular time. Sometimes it's when I'm surfing, sometimes when it's just sitting there open. Sometimes it crashes after a minute, sometimes it crashes after 2 hours.

Yes, it does it in safe mode. Yes, I've rebooted, and reinstalled, and tried old versions. Yes, I've even reinstalled windows. Yes, I've updated all drivers and so on. I've also increased the memory allotment, and several other suggestions I found on google.

So, odd things that might help you diagnose it: when it comes back on, the volume of an in-tab player is usually, if not always, muted (not the computer, just the firefox media player - netflix, youtube, etc).

Also, I've owned this computer for 4 years and it's been a problem from the beginning; BUT I found a way to fix it. I just... can't remember what it was. Then about 6 months ago I had to send it in for repair and they wiped windows and I lost everything, since then it's crashing again.

I remember that my fix involved some fix or hack that made a *Second* set of min/max/close buttons in the top-right corner. So the normal sized ones, then a half-sized set above them. Does anyone know what I might have done to have that? Because as long as it was that way, it never crashed.

Failing that, is there a way to force firefox to create a log? Because it's not technically crashing, from it's perspective; a "tab" crashes (all tabs, actually) and then the program closes by default. But firefox itself seems to think it's not crashing so it makes no log.

I'm desperate: going to ask at a forum is worse than going to the second page of google. Thanks

Hi, there are several threads with my problem, but none of the solutions worked. Here the problem:

I use VPN for a certain database. The site requires authentication, even within vpn, which is not bad. Authentication happens through a small popup window. Each and every time I enter my credentials, Firefox springs back to this stage until my account is locked. Edge or Chrome do not have this problem. I use MS Edge under Linux, only for this one website. I already tried disabling my extension, cleaning my cookies, starting login on a freshly installed Firefox, nothing helped.

I would appreciate any hint not related to the steps already mentioned.

Thanks and regards Tibor Anca

Unexpected reaction on right mouse button release - how to disable

A few versions ago (donʼt know exact one) a new effect appeared: when pressing right mouse button on an element to get its menu (standard Firefox menu, not overridden by the page), if mouse cursor position is over a popup menu item, this item is immediately selected on mouse _release_ button.

In most cases the context menu popups right to the mouse position and this causes no effect. But if there is no place to right (the selected element is near right screen margin), a menu item appears under the cursor and, as stated above, is selected. It is unpredictable what item will be selected.

This is rather controllable (although annoying) with real mouse but uncontrollable with touchpad, as on most laptops.

Please suggest how to disable reaction on the mouse button release.
