52ESR on Win7U/32 4GB RAM, 2.7 GHz Pentium Dual-Core E5400.
FF57 never worked out, was directed back to 52ESR. It is slow on a good day, typically with a dozen (non-dynamic content) tabs open. Eventually get the spinning-wheel-white-screen hang. Restart usually (but not always) fixes it. Had sooo much trouble today where it wouldn't show a Google maps page at all, even after a restart. In frustration I ran SeaMonkey (which I use for its Composer) and it was literally cheese and chalk, everything went full tilt - while FF52ESR was still in memory and trying to run. Sort of eliminates website and internet connection as likely causes. I also doubt it is a resources (cpu/RAM) problem as Windoze Task Manager shows 1.82GB (of 4) used, and CPU <10%.
The fact that restarts *usually* helped make me suspect a memory leak, but there's plenty there to use.
I'm at my wits' end trying to get sense/results out of FF. I do NOT like using SeaMonkey but I need to be able to move forward so I'm looking for suggestions beyond the troubleshooting tips documented here.

Window 7: Can not set Firefox as a default application

This morning Firefox upgraded its self. Since then I've not been able to click on links in e-mail to open up web pages. Every time I manually launch Firefox it asks me if I want to make make it my default browser. I reply Yes, so it asks me which account (my or the Administrator) I want to use. It does not appear to make any difference as Firefox does not become my default browser.
In increasing levels of desperation I've tried:
- Tools | Options | Make Default
- Rebooting the PC
- Deleting my Firefox Profile
- Reinstalling the latest version of Firefox
- Reinstalling an old version of Firefox
No luck. Following other threads in this forum I've selected Start -> Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set Default programs
Firefox is not listed.
How to I make Firefox my default browser?

Hello, I like my popups for Firefox for the websites where I allow it, but I dont like where they show up. I am a gamer, recording my gameplay on Monitor 1. Firefox popus are showing up on my monitor 1 and end up in my recordings (not yet published, I have to go through all the footage and clip it out, or just leave it in, depending on what the notification is).
I have three monitors, I do not like the popups coming up where I am recording. I want to select which monitor they show up via dropdown menu that ask me which monitor to show them on. I want firefox popups to be on monitor 2 or 3, but not 1.
My responses for possible work-arounds: Changing what monitor I record is not an option for me, as some games will default to monitor 1. Changing my recording to record the game (instead of the monitor) is also not an option, because I want to allow different windows to be shown on my screen, and some games wont record well with game capture. Not having firefox running while I am gaming is also not an option for me, because I need/want to see content in Firefox while I am recording. Changing browsers also not an option, because I depend on a plugin that only works in Firefox. I am trying out this recording thing stating yesterday, and the only thing that isnt working so far is Firefox popups showing up in my recordings.

This is extremely frustrating. I cannot seem to disable or do anything with "containers" on FireFox.
Here's my story. I belong to an on-line Karaoke website that works with Flash. In order to be heard I have to enable "STEREO MIX" and make it my default communications device. This has been NO problem up until now. For some reason, in the sound mixer, there is a sound item called "firefox Container". The sound from the site "bounces" on that item rather than the Firefox slider. Muting the container only kills the sound.
How do I get rid of the container and get my sound coming through the Firefox icon? I've tried to look for my containers and I have them, but I cannot seem to disable them at all. I've included a pic of my volume mixer. There you can see the container and the Firefox logo but I cannot change the sound to the Firefox.
Thank you so much for any help.

Touch controls long hold brings out text selection instead of just a context menu and other touch controls weirdness

So I'm using Firefox 56.0.2 on a Windows 8.1 tablet. Previously I had an older version (don't remember which one exactly unfortunately), so my problems started after upgrading. Previously quick touch controls press worked exactly like a left click with a mouse would while long press worked exactly as a right mouse click. It was the same with 56.0.2 initially, yet one day with no warnings touch controls randomly changed their behaviour. Quick press still opens links and can scroll pages, but it now completely refuses to select text. Long press instead of simply bringing up a context menu now both brings up a context menu and selects a word underneath with weird blue drops movable borders: https://imgur.com/kP7UgQU Long press now also opens links on certain websites like YouTube. Rolling back to FF50, launching FF, closing it down and immediately upgrading back to 56.0.2 fixes the problem for a couple of days, yet it comes back randomly on day 3 or 4. So the question is, why does it happen and how can I disable it for good.

When I invoke Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import and Backup/backup... in Firefox 60.0.1, nothing seems to happen. I cannot find any file named bookmarks-yyyy-mm-dd.json (I didn't change the default file name but of course I had to select a directory) anywhere on my computer. Am I doing something stupid?
Last time I did this was 2017-12-20 -- no problems backing up and restoring bookmarks then -- but that was with an older version of Firefox (obviously). FYI I'm running the 64bit version on a 64bit Windows 7 SP1 system. -- jclarkw

Installed latest Firefox on a new win 10 installation and many websites are blocked with security certificate error.... ITV News was one of them along with Facebook, the date and time are right, as well as the year.
The sites work OK 'on this' Win 7 computer with Firefox 46.0.1 - Yes I KNOW it's out of date - it works flawless 'for me' this is not the issue!
Can anything be done? Dave.

OS: Windows 7 FF version: 60.0.1
I updated FF a couple of days ago (from v59) and I encountered two severe problems until now: 1) FF crashed **for no apparent reason** after about one hour of use. I don't remember when was last time that FF crashed. Years maybe. (Unfortunately, I cannot connect the crash to anything I did and I can't reproduce it.) 2) When I exited FF **normally** today, I saw 3 firefox.exe processes still remaining in Task Manager. This is not normal at all.
Moreover, I consider abnormal the fact that when I open a single FF instance with the new version, there are 5 (five) firefox.exe processes installed in Task Manager!!! Although this is not a problem per se, I believe it has to do with FF crashing and not terminating normally.
In 15-20 years I am using FF, I have never encountered such problems in general, esp. after installing an update!
What are FF people doing? Why do they destroy working versions to produce problematic ones? It looks insane.

I use Firefox as my primary browser. I had to use Chrome to interact properly with a vendor's payment system. While on Chrome I checked the History. I was shocked to see on the Chrome history all the activity I did on Firefox including the browsing I did using the Private Browsing feature. I opened Firefox, checked the history and verified that Firefox had no history record of my Private Browsing. So I have to find out how and why Chrome has access to my Firefox activity, especially my Private Browsing activity?

Hi,
I've got a PC on which Firefox 42.0 is installed.
I would like to update the 42.0 vesion on that PC. After clicking on the "Check for update" button in the "About Firefox" menu, I got a message that it can be updated to version 43.0.1.
Why not newer versions?
PS:
I couldn't use version 40.2 to post this question because when I clicked on the "None of these solves my problem" button, version 40.2 crashed. So I used version 49.0 on the same PC instead.
Version 42.0 also crashes when I click on "Troubleshooting information" under the Hep menu.
