So, I don't have an issue, I just want to scream because my firefox crashed and when I started it back up it asked me about booting it in safe mode or something, but I didn't want that and the other option was 'refresh firefox'

Nowhere AT ALL does it warn you that it will WIPE your current installation and RESET everything. I had no ideas and had not saved up the content of my OneTab extension in a while, FUCKING THANK YOU FOR THAT.

That's it. Fuck you.

The Outlook web app seems to be causing Firefox issues. For instance, responding to a calendar invite via Outlook email or directly on the Outlook calendar does not register and causes Firefox to experience performance issues (ex. when I quit Firefox, I have to force quit). The issue is possibly specific to Outlook calendar events, as it seems that interacting with event invites triggers the problem. I do not experience any issues when using Chrome.

Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

Windows 11 23H2 - Firefox 131.0.3

I use firefox on laptop with a usb keyboard, On the laptop CTRL+Shift+P using Left CTRL+Shift+P and Right CTRL+Shift+P works as intended and opens a private window.

However on the usb keyboard using the Left CTRL+Shift+P doesn't work to open a private window while the Right CTRL+Shift+P works normally.

After a bit of trial and error i worked out the issue with the usb keyboard is the left CTRL key. It works for other shortcuts such as CTRL P but just not for the new private window command.

I tried loading firefox in troubleshoot mode to see if this was an addon issue, still no good. Tried 2 different keyboards from the one i use daily just to see what would happen and still the same issue.

Any suggestions? im at a loss.

I like using Firefox but it is increasingly becoming incompatible with more and more websites. There is nothing wrong with the websites, I can login using Google Chrome just fine. Firefox simply won't allow me to login to certain websites that I was able to access using Firefox before. Anyone know why this is happening?

Hi everyone! 👋

I hope you’re all enjoying browsing with Firefox. I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s incredible how many cool features and settings are available to make browsing safer, faster, and more enjoyable. I thought it would be great to share our favorite tips and tricks with each other!

Here are a few of my favorites to kick things off:

Boost Privacy with Enhanced Tracking Protection 🔒 Did you know Firefox has a built-in feature to protect your privacy? Under "Privacy & Security" in the settings, you can turn on Enhanced Tracking Protection, which blocks third-party trackers and unwanted cookies. It’s a quick setting that gives extra peace of mind!

Organize Tabs with Simple Shortcuts 📑 I’m always juggling multiple tabs, so using keyboard shortcuts has been a lifesaver! Try pressing Ctrl + Shift + E (or Cmd + Shift + E on a Mac) to get a quick overview of all open tabs. You can then jump between them effortlessly.

Get Faster Browsing with Pocket Integration 🧳 Ever see a cool article but don’t have time to read it? Just save it to Pocket, which is integrated with Firefox! It’s perfect for building a collection of things to read later, even offline.

What are your go-to Firefox hacks? I’d love to learn how others are using Firefox to make their browsing even better. Whether it's an add-on you love, a keyboard shortcut, or a cool setting, please share below!

Happy browsing,

As WIN11 Pro administrator, using Firefox desktop 132.0.1, a popup saying "Windows Security - Do you want to allow public and private networks to access app? firefox.exe"

This popup blocked all user input except to click on the popup. That behavior is suspicious, so I used ctrl-alt-delete to close it - but no user input was allowed because the Task Manager was behind the modal full-screen popup. I manually shutdown (uncontrolled crash) rather than click on it. I suspect this popup is normal behavior, though I've never seen or heard of it before. Not all software plays fair after all. Nothing to report from perfmon.msc > reliability report. But we live in a software minefield, and I can't find record of anyone stepping on this mine before. If anyone has seen or heard of similar please make a comment. Thank you guys!

When I use Firefox, I use CTRL key combinations to cut, copy, paste, and delete. I also use F5 to refresh a webpage.

Firefox uses many, many other key combinations and hotkeys, and a great number of them have caused the instant erasure of all the hours of work I had done on a webpage: The browser jumps to another tab, or it goes fullscreen (one of the Function keys does this), or it opens a new window, or it opens a History window, or it does any number of things which I neither want nor need.

I require only to use the key combinations and hotkeys to perform the functions that I have listed, above. But if I must sacrifice them in an overall disable, then I will do so.

Please tell me how to disable the key combination commands and hotkeys in Firefox.

I am trying to recover my bookmarks and history on this same PC i just re installed windows but I am having trouble figuring out the login email and what not I was using. My main email is trancekaiser@msn.com I also have addamkaiser@gmail.com addamkaiser@yahoo.com addam.kaiser@gmail.com and kaiddenalexander@gmail.com I have tried all these options and none have my bookmarks. I am pretty sure I had backup and sync enabled and just racking my brain trying to remember maybe what the icon looked like or something I can associate to sort out what I had on this PC. My kid was using one of the log ins on the other PC so didnt delete my bookmarks or keep our info separated. I even tried searching on my phone and im coming up with blanks. I should have checked or downloaded the file that helps u recover but im tired and this is driving me nuts please help
