Machine: Dell Inspiron 15 5567 CPU: Intel i5-7xxx Op Sys: Ubuntu 24.04.1 Firefox version: Flathub 130.0

For the past 2 weeks Firefox has been repeatedly crashing soon after going on to certain sites or trying to apply my 2FA authenticator add-on.

Suddenly there's a screen shudder and a new window opens, inviting me to submit a crash report. See attached image.

I do not believe that this is down to Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade done at end of August.

But it's enough for me to largely go over to Chromium and Firefox Dev Ed.

If Mozilla don't act on this crashing I can see its market being lost fairly fast.

i was using firefox with multiple tabs for most of today, had to shut pc down to run errands. When i restarted pc, firefox would not start, i have it pinned on my task bar/start menu/whatever. I opened my system moniter to see what was going on when i tried to start firefox and the processes do not show up in the process list. I tried a reinstall with the ubuntu software store and no noticeable change in behavior. Not sure how to get into the profile section, the option for it with a right click on the firefox icon does nothing seemingly. Under normal operations i have seen two firefox processes listed.

Firefox does not seem to be properly configured for Wayland on KDE Plasma 6.x systems. The generic "Wayland" logo appears in task switcher instead of the Firefox logo. Firefox is the only program I have with this issue. Setting desktop name (org.mozilla.firefox) as a property in the Window and Application Manager settings does not resolve the issue.

I changed a global setting in the KDE Breeze theme to always show scrollbar arrows. It works in most windows but not in Firefox, which refuses to display them. Is there a way to fix this? It is a major accessibility problem.

I just set up a server with linux Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop, with Firefox 129.0.2 included to do some dev and testing work.

Problem: Firefox seems unable to see or open files that are above or outside the user's home dir tree.

The only extra packages installed are the LAMP stack and Google Chrome, which has no problem. (had to have something for A/B testing.)

I've tried entering the url of file:///var/www/index.html, I've tried selecting 'open with...' from the files app, etc. Nothing works.

I can get to the file through http://localserver/index.html with no issues. I've verified permissions on the entire directory tree to the file. Everything from end to end has read permissions for all, 755.

I've checked the following advanced settings: security.sandbox.content.level..............................0 (started at 4, now at 0, no effect or change.) security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy.........................false (default setting as installed.)

I am able to open file:/// and get a dir listing. BUT, if I click on var, it gives "Access to the file was denied." I even tried changing the permissions on /var to 777, but no change.

This seems to be a Firefox only problem, since Google Chrome works where firefox doesn't.

I've spent several hours searching for ways to fix this, all with no success. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, or even what to look at???

I am running Lubuntu 22.04LTS (have been for months now), with Firefox 130.0.1 installed via the normal vanilla apt.

It was working fine until a few days ago (perhaps after an update, but I can't recall specifically), and then just stopped being able to save anything.

For example, right clicking on an image will bring up "Save As..." as an option, but when I choose that, nothing happens. No prompt to save, nor does the file appear anywhere.

When I choose "Save" as a pulldown on cloud XLSX files...similarly, nothing happens.

When I download something, Firefox is supposed to open up a prompt asking me where I want to save the file but that never opens...nor does the file download.

I am totally baffled.

For the past few months, the browser will no longer download any files. The only diagnostic that I can see is failed when the download is attempted. I have refreshed firefox and the problem remains. Chrome can download without any problems, but I used firefox for many years and wish to continue.
