When I install a theme that distinguishes the active tab by removing the bottom border line, I find that, with no apparent cause, before long that bottom border line will reappear. I can restore the correct appearance by restarting Fx, but pretty soon the fault will resurface. How can I cure this?

Every time I try to make or receive a call it asks for permission to use microphone in Gmail Hangouts https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox . I have it set to "Allow". https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox When a call comes in or I try to make one it does not have the check mark box "Always Allow" on the little pop up window as I have seen before. I can set it to always allow by right clicking the chat window and page info, yet it keeps on asking for permission to use. -- It DOES show as being allowed both in the list in Options and when you check the page Info.
I thought maybe it has something to do with Flash ending, but when I use Hangouts on the Hangouts page: https://hangouts.google.com/ it works fine. And yes, I have removed all cookies and cache several times. Another thing I noticed is that you can't add any pages manually in the options. Not sure if that is related. Note that I use Firefox and Windows 7 .
Been searching for an answer since this started over a month ago. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi to all!
I'm on Firefox Nightly 71.0a1 (2019-09-20) (64-bit) on Arch Linux. I'd like to watch a mov video, embedded in a website. The video is fine but the control shows it as muted. Indeed there's no sound. If I click on the sound control of the embedded video player, I can't toggle the sound control, which stays muted. The controls works on Chromium so it's not a problem of a video with no sound.
Thanks a lot for your help!
EDIT: I've tried with other mov files. I went to the Apple site: https://trailers.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/downton-abbey/ I can watch the clip with sound but here the audio control can't be toggle or change: the volume stays at the same level.

From around 5 months ago when I download "any type of file", I sometimes get an empty dialog box except for the very top line "opening xxxxxx.xxx". i.e. there is no "You have chose to open....What should firefox do with this file, open or save file etc. " Usually this corrects itself when I try to download the file again. I am running Win 10 / My current FF ver 70.0b7 (64-bit)

Dear all,
I am having a severe issue using Firefox on Linux. That is when I use the browser to watch YouTube it is almost guaranteed that the entire system will hang, become unresponsive and then require a hard reset.
I'm using Xubuntu 19.04.
The laptop is a ThinkPad T450. It has a standard configuration except that I installed a SSD. I ran a comprehensive self-test using the Lenovo BIOS' testing feature and everything was given the all-clear. I note that the same problem doesn't occur on my preferred WebKit-derived browser which is Vivaldi.
I'm not the only owner of a T450 in my household. Curiously, this other T450 which runs Xubuntu 18.04 (LTS) does not manifest the same issue. This system also uses Firefox as its browser.
I was advised to check the system logfiles. The only mention of anything likely in the logfiles is the xsession-errors file:
(xfce4-panel:1291): xfce4-panel-CRITICAL **: 21:01:45.450: panel-window.c:2245 (panel_window_active_window_geometry_changed): expression 'WNCK_IS_WINDOW (active_window)' failed.

Reference to my post on the Ubuntu forums: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2426276
I'd greatly value any help to solve this issue. I'm willing to look at other logfiles or send over any additional information that might help diagnose this problem. Anything to help me get back to using my browser of choice!
Kind regards. Thran

I was using FF 68.0.2 and all versions before it for years and I never had a problem. After I installed version 69 I began to have these black screens! Im using 69.0.1 now and it seems a bit better, with 69 I was having more crashes. Im using h264ify addon because youtube was too unstable in 69 version and using h264 codec seems more stable. I am not completely sure this is a Firefox problem or a Windows 10 problem because microsoft has release buggy patches recently. I uninstalled last microsoft patch just in case but I still have this creashes.
Sometimes Firefox return to normal if I minimize the windows and restore it but sometimes it crashes completely.

Very annoying to have to log back in constantly. Prefer browsing incognito most of the time if only to avoid cluttered history list.(Sometimes want to save history log from some particular dates).& Doesn't incognito mode offer more privacy as it does on the desktop? IIRC, on the desktop, I stayed logged in to sites as long is it is open on my computer.
it seems that some times I remain Logged in for longer periods of time.Is this mostly depending on the particular website? Thanks for any help.

Login to the New York Times is in a permanent loop. You login in the usual way, and the page loads without logging you in. It tries to sell me a subscription when I already have one. I have already cleared the cache and cookies and suffered having all of my websites broken by Firefox forcing us to re-login to everything on the web over and over because we have to go through the ritual of clearing cache and cookies over and over because Firefox is always malfunctioning. I have already permanently disabled "hardware acceleration" and have done all of these multiple times, numerous times. It's undoubtedly Firefox built in security devices that are causing this block. Chrome does not cause this, but there are other reasons not to use Chrome unless I have to, which is what I now have to do because of Firefox hyper-intrusive "security" software. If I could disable all the security bloat in Firefox, I would do so. It's just impossible. It does on month after month, year after year. We are prisoners of these device builders!

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

I get the following message when launching after downloading a program: "***.msi is an executable file. Executable files may contain viruses or other malicious code that could harm your computer. Use caution when opening this file. Are you sure you want to launch “***.msi”?
- .msi is my company's product. This message does not appear for other programs I have downloaded and launched. Why is this warning inconsistent in that it targets my program but not others?
Thanks.

Firefox almost always crashes on closing. If I reopen firefox within a couple mins of closing it tells me it can't open because it is already running. If I leave it closed usually after several mins I get a notification that it has crashed. I've tried disabling all add ons/refresh/disabling sync etc. with no luck so just trying to see if anyone has any ideas on possible culprits. This is on multiple Win 10 machines, can post more crash reports later tonight. My other system it happens every single time I close it.

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

The passing of Windows credentials into our homepage using a mozilla.cfg file isn't working properly and I can't figure out why. I know Firefox is reading the config file because the homepage is correctly pointed. However I have edited the following settings to:
lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-trusted-uris", "servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-delegation-uris", "servername.domain.corp");
This is what the settings are for the homepage: //set intranet as home page lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
When I open firefox it directs to our homepage, however it prompts for credentials. Am I missing something?

Long time Firefox user on linux and only recently noticed this RAM usage issue. Maybe it also affects FF 68?
I can use firefox all day running linux peppermint OS 9(fully updated) with Xanmod kernel 4.19.66 but after I suspend the laptop and resume, firefox behaves normally for approx. 1/2 hour then RAM usage increases dramatically. I only noticed this while running a virtual machine and FF ate all my remaining ram.
Minimizing memory usage from about:memory helps for a short while but FF will again consume too much ram.
However, if I close FF and restart teh ram usage stays within normal limits all day ...until I suspend and wake the laptop again.
I have noticed this issue on two different configurations:
1. T510 laptop running Peppermint OS 9 with windows virtual guest taking majority of RAM. FF on linux host usually stays within 2GB of usage but after suspend it jumps much higher and consumes ram freezing the laptop.
2. W530 laptop running Windows 10 OS (1903) and Linux Peppermint 10 OS as virtual guest. FF on linux guest also consumes more RAM after waking Win10 from suspend and crashes Linux virtual guest.

Hello,
I am having bit of a problem with the cookies in the latest Firefox 69 and the 69.0.1 update that I had just now. In the Firefox I had Cookies and site data permissions set to allow specific sites for the current session and now after the update looks like those cookies are getting blocked... I always have been using private mode and I had disabled all the cookies. Looks like a bug, right? I think I could try add exceptions to the Content blocking, but then again, other stuff apart from cookies will be allowed. Running browser in the safe mode gives same result.
I would appreciate some help to resolve that issue. Thank you.
