For the first time in my experience, Firefox (for 64-bit Windows 10) has failed to run when I click on the desktop icon. I see a brief turning circle (the indication that Windows is responding to my click), but Firefox never opens. I tried navigating to C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox and clicking directly on firefox.exe. Same result.

I then uninstalled Firefox, downloaded a fresh copy (using another browser), and installed Firefox again. The installation appeared to complete successfully, but Firefox still fails to run. I did check my user directory under \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports. There is a file there called "InstallTime20230104165113", but the subfolder \submitted is empty.

My Windows software is up to date as of 15 Jan 2023. I ran a Windows Defender Offline scan today, just to be sure there's nothing nefarious going on. The scan found nothing to report. Everything else on the system is behaving normally.

I'd be grateful for any help you can offer. I've used Firefox for years on all my devices (Windows, Android, and Apple) and I am a big fan.

Hi all,

On your latest install Firefox 108.0.1 my tabs have moved to the bottom of my browser near my taksbar in window 10. The tabs are not working correctly. Please fix. Thank you.

P.S. it working in firefox safe mode. The tabs show a the top of screen and you can add multiple tabs.

firefox is downloading hulu in a timely manner. it will buffer for 5-9 minutes sometimes before i can use it and then all of the options are blank. i will try other platforms and hulu will download immediately. so, i am guessing it is a firefox issue.

I am just starting to use Firefox. And I have been unsuccessfully trying to download and use Mac Internet Security X9. Can you help me or recommend another virus protection? Sincerely, Joe McManus [email removed from public]

How does one migrate Firefox bookmarks and passwords from an old computer to a new computer?

There are four computers involved in this shuffle. Two new, one being retired, and one being repurposed. The only thing we haven't been able to figure out, is how to migrate Firefox's information from one computer to another one.

And, we've been working on this since Christmas. Edge, Brave, and Chrome took minutes. Combined.

But, transferring the information on Firefox has been impossible. Yes, I've read the help topics. No, they were not helpful. Firefox will not accept either the backup or export files from the old Firefox across multiple computers.

Yes, I have Sync. And, no, that hasn't worked either.

So, what is the next step?

For the last week or two I have had an issue with Firefox closing my email (yahoo business mail) tab automatically, every time I download a file from an email.

After opening emial I click to download the file, i have the settings set to ask where I want it saved, and then either while I'm selecting the destination and labeling it, or right after the tab automatically closes. It happens both ways which suggests to me it's occurring after a specified amount of time, not based on completion of an action. And it's happening every time.

Any idea how to stop this?

Hello everyone, Does someone know how to install Firefox on Ubuntu Touch phone?

I did install "Ubuntu touch" on my smartphone few weeks ago.

But without my favorite Firefox Navigator, this is useless for me !

Even a older version of Firefox will be fine. All i need for now, is a Sync of my configuration (bookmarks and Passwords Manager). Firefox should have app in Openstore for Ubuntu touch phones as its opensource and promotes security.

I just downloaded the new Mac Ventura update, and when I opened Firefox all my previous tabs opened up, but my Toolbar completely disappeared, as in there is an empty space for it, and they show when I click on Bookmarks, but not on the actual browser window. The same thing happened with my Add-on extensions, all disappeared, and they're not even showing in my library. When I tried to download them again online, every single one gave me a red error message "An unexpected error occurred during installation." Please advise what's going on and/or how I can fix this to get my normal browser back. Thanks

A few months ago when I updated to the latest version, as I always do, the bookmarks were not carried over. I restored to an earlier time to retrieve them and have been using an old version. Every time that I go to the program and when asked to update, I click "no." I am finding now that several websites will not accept Firefox. After 20 years of saving, I do not want to recreate, as I would have had to do at that time. Do I now upgrade to newest version and pray that my bookmarks are there?

I was able to get to the site 2 times before , but am not finding it on this try. I am downloading my i-phone photos via the browser to my MAC and then deleting them from my i-phone.

how do i stop firefox opening my pdf files. i have set adobe as my default yet it still keeps using firefox. I have also changed the settings in adobe, without success. I will stop using firefox if this cannot be fixed. it drive me nuts

Hi all!

I am forced to use a specific version of Firefox to use a particular site. The version is 52.0.2 (yeah, I know - don't start). The site also needs a specific version of Java (JRE8 - Update 161). I am on Windows 11 (64 bit) and I also have a regular version of Firefox installed (fully updated to 109.0).

I have successfully installed (multiple times) and I am starting that version of Firefox with it's own shortcut which is configured as

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox Foo\firefox.exe" -p Foo -no-remote

In the first session, I go to Tools->Options-Advanced-Updates and set it to never download updates. If I now exit and start again, Firefox installs updates and upgrades to a new version namely 60.x.x

How can I prevent this behavior?

Hi, I reinstalled FF and initially got the problem of missing profile, so I restored some files from my Mac Time Machine backup and now I cannot even start FF. I have re downloaded but all get is the small banner page after starting the dmg. How can I start FF and what files can I restore from my back ups to get me back to where I was yesterday? I am totally lost.

I'm searching for a method to download video files that are formatted as a .mov files without changing the file format. Firefox browser 109.0 running on a Windows 10 PC modifies the files from .mov to .mp4 when saving the files on the PC from a cloud file storage website. Other browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge handle the file download without changing the file extension from .mov to .mp4. How to I alter the settings within FireFox to maintain the original .mov file extension?
