Since the last update to Firefox I am getting a 'Firefox is already running but not responding error message'. This is happening on my Win10 machine - my Win7 box is not having any issues since the update.
I have followed the advice of creating new profiles, checking for locked profiles (and being unable to remove the lock?). I have completely removed Firefox from my system - uninstalled via control panel, deleted all folders in Program Files and Users etc, removed temp files and edited the registry to completely remove any Mozilla/Firefox entries. Completely clean install - as far as I can tell - but the problem re-appears as soon as Firefox is reinstalled. I've tried all this in WIn10 safe mode as well but still no joy.
The issue seems to be that there is a process running that cannot be terminated but I'm unable to kill the single remaining Firefox.exe process listed in task manager. When I try 'taskkilll /IM firefox.exe /F' from the command prompt I get an error that the process can't be killed as an instance of it does not exist. If I try 'taskkill /IM firefox.exe /T /F' it advises that a child process is keeping the main process alive - explorer.exe. Terminating explorer.exe does not free up the firefox.exe process for termination (same error of the instance not existing). The only way to clear the process is to reboot my system, Firefox will then start ok but when closed the issue will occur again.
I'm on my 4th clean install and the issue persists, so any help or advice beyond what I've tried would be appreciated.

"Manage Data" button appears grayed out

Hi, I noticed this issue quite a few times: When I open the cookies privacy settings, the two buttons "Clear Data" and "Manage Data" often appear grayed out. I don't use private browsing or disabled offline cache like I saw in other threads, and I use only 4 regular extensions. The funny thing is that the buttons become functional on their own after a couple of minutes if I just leave the tab open. So it seems that Firefox is running some very long process before enabling these buttons the first time the settings page is opened. If I close the privacy settings tab and open it again, then these two buttons immediately appear enabled, not grayed out.
Firefox should probably change the very confusing and counter-intuitive way it is handling these two buttons, or at least display some animated icon to indicate it is doing some stuff, but if it's reading all cookies before deciding to enable the two buttons (and I don't think I have an unusual number of cookies), I'd rather have Firefox enable these buttons immediately and run this cookies analysis process AFTER I click on one of these two buttons, not before. By the way, it would be great if the about:support page could provide the number of cookies or web sites with cookies so we might use this for technical support. I have no idea how many I have and if this number is a problem.
In any case, for all other users that experience the grayed out cookie management buttons: Leave the settings tab open, do other stuff on Firefox or the computer, and come back to this settings tab after a few minutes, you'll find the two buttons enabled.
Anyone having internet connection issues with firefox 70.1 and Windows 7 ?

After the release and subsequent auto update of firefox 70.1 I had NO internet access. Anytime I attempted to open the browser I got an error page saying Can Not Connect. Finally after using a restore point dated Oct.25 I was able to acess the net and download sites again but I can no longer stream video from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Hulu and other sites are not affected. Netflix said refreshing firefox would work. It DID NOT. Amazon says the latest version of firefox is needed to restore functionality. That version kills my ability to access the web. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on an older HP with AdBlocker Plus and HTTPS Everywhere. Any ideas ?
my new version (70.01) will not sync with version 66.03 so I can't access my stored data.
I just downloaded 70.01 on my macbook air, but it won't sync the data held on 66.03

Okay, so I often like to have windows open to the full height of the screen, but not the full width. However, no matter what I do, whenever I open a new private window in this state, it defaults to being just slightly less than full height and I have to manually pull it down every single time. If I shorten the window, it opens to the shorter height, but if I lengthen it again, new windows revert to not-quite-full height.
Also, when I first open Firefox after changing the size thus, it sometimes defaults to full height (though Private windows still never do) and sometimes opens to full height, but shifted up slightly so the bottom doesn't quite reach the taskbar and the top extends slightly past the top of the screen.
I have no idea what could possibly be causing this - I have tried refreshing Firefox and I've tried deleting xulstore.json, both of which accomplished precisely nothing, so I'd appreciate any help on this.

Since Firefox is natively supporting .webp images, they are displayed as webp images on web sites providing this option. How can we force Firefox to fallback to jpg or png images? I know .webp images support is an improvement, but for my case I need to export a lot of pictures from websites using a drag'n drop from Firefox to Windows Explorer. As webp images are not supported natively by Windows, this is useless... I would like to get the standard image instead.
Remark : Before Firefox v70, it was possible to force it tweaking about:config : "image.http.accept" = "image/webp,*/*" > change to "*/*" But this tweak is not working anymore.
home page has options but snippets is showing in search.. please remove it.
i dont want snippets when i search, i have unchecked yet it show.
irritating it is.
your support is welcome

After setting webgl.force-enabled true, webgl1 works, but no webgl2.

The ff tarball from mozilla org extracted to /opt shows same behaviour. It should work, but it seems to be looking for fglrx when open source driver/mesa is installed.

I use Firefox Quantum 68.2.0.esr bundled with CentOS 7. All was ok until an Adobe update flash-plugin-32.0.0.293-release.x86_64 @adobe-linux-x86_64 was pushed out. Since then adobe has disappeared from the installed plugins list as well as OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. is now disabled. I have tried reinstalling flash-plugin from the Adobe repository alas its reported as already installed. I have even tried a fresh install but no difference. The only way around I have found is to install 32.0 r0 plugin file being the most recent working. Updating again results in removed flash again.
Please can this be investigated.

I am being frequently signed out of open pages on firefox as I am using them. This isn't a regular security settings/cookies problem, this will happen at random without closing the tab or page. The page will refresh or I will click a link to another part of the website and I will be suddenly signed out.
This started happening very recently and I can't point to any clear changes that would have caused it. Has anyone had this problem?
