after having some computer problems both firefox and thunderbird wouldn't start, I kept getting errors that it was already running and had to be closed and after hitting the close button I got the error that said it couldn't find the profile, I uninstalled both and reinstalled but still had the same problem so I went to the trouble shooting and found some things to try one being to make another profile in profile manager so I did and it let me start both firefox and thunderbird but the problem I have is if I shut them down I have to start all over by going into profile manager and creating a new profile, what step am I missing and why won't it keep my profile? one other note not n\knowing if this will mean anything or not but when I go to the profile manager I don't see any of my profiles on the first screen only had default but yet they are in my profile folder.
any help will be appreciated because I am lost at what to try next. Thanks Jim

I am facing some problem in using Firefox Mac version.
I find that one of the Java library/function in my system is not support at Firefox Mac version (The Java library/function is perfectly work under Windows platform IE/FireFox/Chrome/Safari and Mac OS Safari/Chrome).
The code is listed below: <%@ page language="java" import="java.io.*, java.util.*, java.sql.*, cerg.utils.*, com.orange.fupload.*" errorPage="error.jsp" %> ...................................... <jsp:useBean id="exupload" scope="page" class="com.orange.fupload.MultiPartRequest"/> ...................................... String proj_title = db.toStr(exupload.getField("txtTitle")); String pri_area = db.toStr(exupload.getField("optPri")); String sec_area = db.toStr(exupload.getField("optSec")); ......................................
The return values are always “null” or “empty” under Firefox Mac version -- exupload.getField("XXXXXXX"), but work perfectly under other browser (even Firefox Windows version)
What’s the problem in Firefox Mac version or How can I fix this problem?
Many Thx.

If Firefox can't find any encoding declaration in bot HTTP response headers and web page meta tags, and also can't guess, it will use the default encoding.
But there are only two choices for default encoding: Unicode and Western, as set apart near the top of the "View | Text Encoding" menu item list.
Is it possible to add more choices e.g., Japanese (Shift_JIS)?
"Japanese" has always been selected for Auto-Detect. But not much help.

I am trying to watch a stream on Twitch and it will not stop loading, the chat box works fine. I have tried different streams and get the same result. I tried mmorpg.com and Tom's Hardware.com and they will not load either. A few sites load very slowly. I can open Youtube and it plays fine. Usually when a video does not open there is a problem with Flash (v23.0.0.162) I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled it. I have FF v49. I have tried clearing the cache and I have tried opening the stream in IE and Chrome. I tried creating a new profile and restarting in safe mode. No go Any suggestions?

Hello. Not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this question. If not, I apologize and please point me in the right direction.
I started with downloadhelper and converter so long ago I've forgotten how I set everything up! I normally just download remixed song files from Soundcloud. I reinstalled Mozilla last week, so all my old settings are gone. I know there was a way to set the bitrate for mp3 downloads in the rules section, there was a phrase that I used but can't remember how. I'm interested in 2 things. 1) how to set the download bitrate in the rules section and 2) how to retain the original bitrate so that I'm not taking a 96br file and converting it to 128, makes no sense to do so. I know I had those settings before but can't seem to find anything on the web to remind me how.
thanks!

When playing Netflix in the playback will stutter every few seconds. I have noticed it started happening when it moved over from Silverlight to HTML5 with DRM. At first it was possible to just turn off DRM but now it won't play at all if I turn it off.
I get the same problem on Windows 10 and Windows 7. I have asked Netflix about it but they say it is most likely a problem with my graphic drivers. I have a Nividia 970 with latest official drivers and had no problems before when it used Silverlight.
Is there any way to go back to using Silverlight or anything else I can try. The constant stuttering is getting very annoying.

Is there a search engine that can search only within the currently viewed site, from the search bar?
just like you can do a google search and add, for example, "site:support.mozilla.org", and google will only search inside support.mozilla.org, I want to type my query inside the search bar and do a google search within the site I'm currently viewing.
this function was available in the old Google Toolbar, many moons ago...
hope that makes sense.

Excessive RAM used by Firefox

I'm getting a strange jump in memory use by Firefox. I'm monitoring Firefox memory use with the add-on called "Memory Restart." I keep 13 pinned tabs on my browser (they always load at boot-up). Those 13 tabs take up around 140MB of RAM. I also tend to keep around 50-100 tabs in my browser (I used Session Manager). But when I boot up, none of those tabs open until I click on a specific tab. See screen shot -- this is how my Firefox session typically boots.
After all the pinned tabs load Memory Restart shows around 140MB in use. About 10 seconds later I get a "flash" on the screen with a yellow banner under the tab section that says "Firefox memory has increased by more than 669MB since last refresh interval" (see image). Something is causing Firefox RAM use to jump immediately from 140MB to 669MB about 10 seconds after all my pinned tabs load. What could be causing this immediate large chunk of RAM use, even though none of the non-pinned tabs have been selected. ???

I am using an old laptop running Window 7. I tried to enlarge fonts using window but that just enlarging the Roman Fonts proportionately. I tried Crtl ++ that's blown Roman Font out of proportion in order to read that other language fonts. Global fonts increase resulted in the same issue. Is there way to make fonts (no matter what language use on a website) display same size?

In am interested if Firefox (can set a "pre-done" or "optimized" configuration file that modifies the "about:config" settings that work effectively with SSD hard drive(s) (to minimize "writes") while protecting a good time for firefox to store sessions, local files, etc. in its daily operation. I want to "save" my SSD operational use and time while still maximizing the features of using Firefox across Microsoft Windows, Linux, iOS, Andriod, and any other platforms supported and to be supported. Currently, I have set my setting on the "browser.sessionstore" to an hour (60 minutes).

Hello everybody. I'm having trouble loading back-uped session after Firefox didn't load opened tabs. I have made a copy of whole folder called 'session-store backups' and have these files:
previous.js
recovery.bak
recovery.js
upgrade.js-20160604131506
upgrade.js-20160623154057
upgrade.js-20160823121617
Following instructions I found on this site I copied each file to profile folder and renamed to 'sessionstore.js' with no firefox running. This method worked only with 'upgrade.js-xxx' files however 'upgrade.js-xxx' files contain only half tabs I have in other files. How can I load other files then? Why Firefox is not loading them?

This has been going on for awhile, I've made posts about similar issues but I have yet to hear anything. My Firefox is "broken" I guess that would be the perfect term for, At least my Firefox. I experience slowdowns on all webpages, it crashes, it freezes, I get what seems like an unlimited amount of "Unresponsive scripts" which forces me to use task manager to end the Firefox process because waiting for it to debug itself or letting the script load does nothing at all. Even the great check-able "Do not remind me again box" does nothing, I don't even bother checking the box because if there's another unresponsive script, even though its the same error the notification pops up still.
Firefox's memory usage spikes from 500k-900k all the way to 2million, I have exited Firefox and have also tried to use the task manager to end the process when it spikes because Firefox is unusable when it gets that high. Even though when I completely exit out of the Firefox program and use task manager to end the process, If I start Firefox back up the memory usage will climb back to where it was which is usually around the 1.5mil range then from there it goes to as high as 2.3mil then just crashes on me.
This has been going on for awhile now and nothing seems to be worked on.
