Firefox Community Forum

A (supposed) Firefox update on my computer at 13:00 Tuesday 8th January AEST crashed and eliminated all my open tabs and all of my Bookmarks. The update was unusual - Firefox usually does it's updates when you start using it. This time I was using Firefox doing multiple things and boom, request for an update then collapse. Did anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know why such a catastrophic event might have happened.

bold text My default browser changed and I can't reset it to firefox. Also, the firefox logo doesn't show when I open Firefox. bold text

I am unable to login to a website that lets me check for a doctor's appointment. The link was sent to my gmail account. I am using Firefox with Windows 11. I am receiving the same error message whether or not I try to access it via my computer or iPhone. I have deleted the browsing history and cannot find any add-on that prevents this. I have Surfshark VPN installed on all of my devices.

For a while now, several months anyway, many of the sites I visit work in Chrome but no longer in Firefox. The sign in or login buttons do nothing, petition submit buttons do not work, etc. I can enter information in the required fields, but I the send/submit buttons do not work.

My test page is the log in for a course I have purchased. Here's what I have tried so far:

    Turned off enhanced protection 
    Paused AdBlock
    Ddisabled Privacy Badger
    Whitelisted the site on minerBlock.

Still no joy.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, --elizabeth

When I open Robert Reich's substack article of the day, I'm finding that whenever the comments, the word "Trump" is replaced by "Mr. Bully". One can see the original by opening repost. If it is one of my own comments I can open Edit and see the original. I asked Substack support about it and they say it isn't them and to check with my browser. OK, Firefox, is this a new "feature" of Firefox or someone hacking Firefox. Would you please look into this for me.

I can't get firefox app to open, I even have to open as administrator and then a window pops up but says it couldn't send the report. I have uninstalled firefox a dozen times and still have the same problem. When I could get on it every time I click on another tab it says tab crashed and to click on restore but it doesn't restore it. I downloaded that damn microsoft one drive and have had problems ever since I did it. I also deleted one drive but still have the problem. I hope you can help since I have so much stuff saved on firefox book marks. I have tried using the trouble shooting but it doesn't work either.

I received the following error message when trying to connect with a site which I have been using for several years. The advice below the error message directs me to contact the site owner, but I can't do so if Firefox will not let me access the site. What to do?

Since updating Thunderbird crashes shortly after starting or sooner if I initiate an update check. If I pull the internet connection and the update check fails it doesn't crash.

I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

A while back I posted: Firefox NO LONGER adheres to "Ask if you want to Save" option..." Somehow - it was fixed after I posted - so I am trying again.

ALL my Application settings are correct - It says the browser is up to date - I am Windows 11 - Laptop. I don't know if it was an update that was just applied - I think it must be - As this was FINE yesterday - but NOW - When it press save - it automatically saves to a Download folder - It WILL NOT let me CHOOSE where to save. AND as you know in Settings, It says WHERE to save "DOWNLOADS" - you CAN change that - BUT - EVERY SAVE is DIfferent - I CAN'T and have NEVER saved something in the same folder every time - This was NEVER a problem - Just TODAY - so it has to be some upgrade that happened when I rebooted my laptop today. I have attached a screen grab - so you can see I have almost EVERYTHING as ALWAYS ASK - including Microsoft Word. HELP!!

I have downloaded the mozilla extension " screen recorder". After giving all permissions , the logo of this extension is not showing on my screen .SO, I am not able to use this extension facility. Please solve it. And also I have been blocked for accessing this extension owner' s website. THANK YOU. OM PRAKASH GUPTA

I'm not sure what exactly caused this. Normally when i opened history page by ctrl + h, the page popped on the left side, but suddenly it's on the right side which is annoying. i couldn't find the solution for this and i don't change any setting on about:config or anything like that while searching. I also attached a screenshot example.

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

All of a sudden I am having problems loading pages, links, etc. I'm having to use Microsoft Edge now. I've been using Firefox for many years but now stuff doesn't work anymore. I can't watch movies on paramount plus without getting an error code. I'm technology challenged so I can't give much detail.

I am unable to log into Strava.com on my PC or lap top. Both run Windows 11, are completely updated. I receive an error message:'Unexpected error has occurred. Please try again'. I have gone to tools/privacy/passwords and insured that they are correct. My wife has a Dell laptop that runs Windows 11 and Firefox and I was also unable to log in to Strava on this machine. I don't think that I had this problem with my PC before purchasing a new PC because the old one could only run Windows 10.
