I am using Firefox version 68.0.1 on my laptop with Ubuntu 18.04LTS. Browser is Google.uk Every time I start Firefox it gives two homepages instead of one. This means if I start typing something too quickly - some of the type goes on the first homepage and some on the second ! I find this very annoying.
Firefox
Starting today I'm unable to play wundermap/weather channel radar. What changed?

1. Fresh FF install on freshly installed Xubuntu 19.04 in Vbox. 2. FF started ok. Open different tabs, certain sites at different stages crashes with 'Gah. Your tab just crashed' message: (just a few examples of sites below)
2b. http://www.ctrip.com/ - Started to load, but when it is almost fully completed, it crashed.
2c. mail.yahoo.com - After keying in user name, the next page for password crashes.
3. Steps tried: Had googled left right center but nothing of help. Some articles that seem close, tried but failed: 3a. disable multi-process tabs doesn't help :
browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false
browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false (can't find this part though, only the above line)
3b. Disable hardware acceleration - doesn't help.
3c. There is no extension nor theme added, it's a newly installed FF and OS.
4. What works: safe mode. All the sites listed above are able to load in safe mode.
5. There is no crash report? Is it because it is a tab crash rather than a full crash?
Please help ...

I bought a medical insurance policy from United Healthcare this year. When I login and go to the 'Help & Contact us' page, the middle frame (which has what I want, the top and bottom frames being boilerplate) it appears for a fraction of a second, then disappears. This happens even when I start in safe mode. I could use it at the library, which has Windoze computers. I just installed the latest Opera to read a message UHC had sent.

ubuntu 16.04, firefox 68.0.1. New instance started after "updated in background" restart just sits there. Add-ons are not started, tabs are not restored as promised. Typing in URL bar and hitting enter does nothing. No response to attempt to open a bookmark. Typing "about:support", no response. I tried removing and re-installing firefox with "sudo apt", no help. Starting firefox without addons, no help. The "about:firefox" display shows no change in version number. A reboot is the only thing that cures this. It has now happened 8 times (8/2, 8/5, 8/9. 8/16 and 4 times earlier). I have about-buildconfig, about-firefox and about-support from 8/2 and 8/5 if they would be helpful.

Need help on reducing bookmarks line spacing

Hi,
First of all, I would like to say that I am a Firefox user since 2007 (since we are in 2019, that's 12 years). I like it and I thank all the Firefox people that worked on it.
However, about two weeks ago I have updated my system from Debian 8 to Debian 10; and with it came a new version of Firefox.
And I don't like the way this new Firefox version looks: - it's ugly - it has out of proportion line spacing in the bookmarks - it has out of proportion line spacing in the Preferences menus - it is much less visual appealing than previous versions
Nevertheless, under the hood, I don't doubt that it is more advanced and better.
I just think it's a wrong move from the people leading Firefox at the moment. Maybe they believe they have to follow the (stupid) trend that many other software houses are following: - non intuitive icons - poor use of colors - exagerated simplifying in icons design - minimalistic screen organization - menus with less options, forcing the users to edit configuration files
All this leads to the user having to "try and guess", trying to discover how things work. 20 or 10 years ago, the softwares weren't so advanced, but they were more organized and with better menus. Today, if seems the need is to build something beautiful. But that beauty soon loses it charm after 5 minutes of interaction.
This is the sensation I get from interacting with Firefox nowadays. And it extends to the support forum, with lack of tast in the design, colors, etc. Too many steps back, in my opinion.
Using Firefox now is not as good an experience like it was some years ago. We need something that works, that has good menus, that we like to see. And not being forced to like something that others think it's the present trend. Firefox is used for the internet, so it needs to be a very good tool. Stop fooling around with it, please.
Also, when I try to solve this problem using themes, I'm stumped because I find some many themes. But the problem is that they are poor quality themes. Much quantity, but poor quality. And the search function, is horrible to say the least.
Besides, I don't understand that Firefox now calls themes to simply adding an image to the menu bar. Is that really a theme? Is this really a good service? I don't think so. I think this is dumb. And steers users away.
I don't care for flowers or manga characters in my menu bar. I just want well designed folder icons and line spacing that makes sense.
Why doesn't Firefox gives the user the choice of using the previous themes? Aren't we in 2019? Something like: Menu - Tools - Themes: - Firefox 55 theme - Firefox 56 theme - Firefox 57 theme [..] - Firefox xx theme
Can you imagine how many hours are you wasting from your millions of users that use Firefox to work and would benefit of something like this?
================================================
Having said this, now I present my goal with this post: I would like to know: - how can I reduce bookmarks line spacing?
I use Firefox to work everyday. I need it to be functional. I have thousands of bookmarks and I have organized them so they fit my screen.
Right now, I am losing much time scrolling up and down within my bookmark folders, because this new version of Firefox has a bigger line spacing than the version I used before.
Please see the attached picture.
Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've recently had to recover my home directory on a machine running Ubuntu 18.04 from a backup... Everything works fine BUT Firefox which keeps crashing right at startup. Nothing happens until the report window opens up.
What I've tried so far:
trying to run it from terminal, trying to run it from terminal in safe-mode, purging and reinstalling it via apt, purging it again and reinstalling via downloaded tar.bz2 from mozilla website
When running from terminal I get the following:
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 5853
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

I have a twin core 2.0GHz laptop with 8 GB RAM, and opening big groups in Facebook makes CPU stick to 100% and at times downloading the page is frozen. It takes anything from a minute to 3 to completely load such pages. I know Facebook is bloatware and I should get a faster laptop.
I have tried every solution here and elsewhere, if you did too and found something not already here please respond. Thank you.

Hi all,
I have set up a new laptop (Lenovo X1 Yoga G4) under Linux Mint (19.2). As you can see in the attached screenshot, Firefox (68.0.1) permanently occupies 2 cores (approx. 25% CPU load with 4/8 cores) and this with deactivated addons in save mode and an empty page.
Are there any about:config parameters I can change to reduce the CPU load? What else could I try?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I am trying to get content from washingtonpost.com . They need me to disable tracker blocking. The standard help screen (capped below) says to just click the button labeled "Turn off Blocking for This Site." Only trouble is, no such button actually exists on the information popup screen (Clicking the circled 'i'). The popup screen I get looks exactly like the one in the help, except for the missing button. I have tried all the suggestions in other posts and none of them work. I notice I am not the only one with this problem. Is it possible my install of Firefox is corrupted? But nothing else I have noticed is wrong. I am running Firefox quantum 68.0.1 under Ubuntu xcfe.

I have recently upgraded to mint 19.2 by reinstalling the operating system. Everything seems OK except for firefox and thunderbird mail. Neither of these will start from either the menu or a desktop shortcut. All that happens is the small loading icon appears if i hover over the bottom panel for a short while then dissapears. There doesn't seem to be any crash reports in either the .mozilla or the .thunderbird folders. However, they will start with no problem from a terminal window.
Can anyone give me a clue as to how to sort this?
