After a power failure in my area while I was online, my Firefox is now giving me "Network protocol error", half loading pages, seldom loading images, slow streaming on YouTube, and "problem loading page"(s).
I am advised by Firefox to inform the website owners but this is surely a Firefox browser problem, not a problem with Google or Facebook or YouTube or any website.
I am on Linux Mint 17. something on a 64bit system.
How does this get fixed?

When looking at stories on the BBC news site; any quotes from Twitter do not display correctly - they just display as the word "twitter" (which is a link).
If I restart in Safe Mode, the Twitter citations display correctly (a box with the Twitter post in it).
If I restart in normal mode, and then manually disable all addons (to try and pin down which one is affecting it), they still display incorrectly. Only Safe Mode works.
Why does safe mode and disabled addons behave differently? And how do I find out which addon is causing a problem if disabling them doesn't have any effect?
Thanks.

I'm a premium member at Bill O'Reillys and receive no spin news to view. I use to be able to view the no spin news up until approximately 7 weeks ago. I can no longer view the no spin news and I haven't got a clue as to why. I am not tech savvy and I have spent many hours trying to locate the problem unsuccessfully.
After signing into my account to view the video it gives me hlsjs:video file not found. I am able to view the video of the day but not the no spin news. I tried google chrome and Internet explorer and it says the same thing, video file not found. I'm sure there is someone that has the solution to my issue. Help and thank you.

I'm running into a frequent problem. After using firefox for an amount of time, my bookmarks and history become "frozen".
The bookmark become kind of "read-only", I can't add, remove, or move any bookmarks at all.
As for history, pressing Ctrl-H still shows the links I visited, but all sites I visited after firefox "freezing" disappears once I restart the browser. All visited links don't change color to deep blue either.
As a result, I need to restart Firefox frequently. What is going on?

Hello, I've downloaded an add on and changed it for personal purposes. Now I can't permanently install it - only temporarily. When I try to install it says that the file appears to be corrupt. I checked in Goggle and learned that I can only install unsigned add ons in Developer Edition and after changing a preference in about:config. I did them both - installed this edition and changed the relevant pref. And ofcourse tried to restart Firefox, but still the same message.

It's really annoying trying to close a tab only to open a new one again because you middle clicked on the empty portion of the tab bar.

Now every time I type i.e. "r" the page reloads! There are other keyboard shortcuts too - every key that isn't bound by a shortcut types normal.
This means that whatever I type wherever when using Firefox I can't type the letters that are bound by a shortcut (which is executed without holding down a modifier key!).
This does not happen in any other application I use, including the Google Chrome browser.

Hi all, I've created a Sync Account and it works correctly on a computer. But I cannot find a way to have it "restored" on another computer. If I connect my Firefox Account on a new computer, it doesn't request me if I want to restore data, it only creates a new "device" in my list...so it's not clear to me...it seems to be a one way sync :-( it's quite useless.
In other words, how can I use it as a backup solution?
Bye.

I have post this questions a week ago but there is no response of my questions. I re-post it and hope someone could help to resolve the problem. The firefox v.65 crash , usually after 3o mins, when I have the new brought photoshop elements 2019 program running in the background. After crashed I try to restore the tab. However, firefox crash again right after restart and restore the tab. If I keep trying to restore the tab. The firefox has no response and freeze. A error message come out " video driver failed to restart ....... Sometime the computer get into blue screen and die. i find that the problem also happen with Microsoft Edge browser too. I google the possible issue of the crash and get some information regarding the crash. It may be cause by the photoshop element face detection feature use too much memory to run the program or the program has memory leak problem that cause firefox crash.
I did check my computer RAM memory and PC window system files. they did not show any error. I refresh firefox and reinstall my video driver. However, it make no change of the crash situation. The firefox crash and Blue screen die issues only happen if I run my photoshop element and premier 2019 program at the same time. Adobe support said that it was not photoshop element program problem for the firefox crash.
I want to find out what is the root problem of the crash and how to fix it. I also want to know any known issue firefox crash assoicated with photoshop elements program.

HOWTO: disable master password auto prompt dynamically

Hi, this is not question but an answer :) While I was trying to figure out how I could get rid of the master password prompt that pops up on every page that I once saved the password for (because I often don't want to login on these pages, just take a look), I found many people asking this. The solution was the MasterPasswordPlus addon for Firefox which stopped working with Quantum.
So here's how to do it with webextensions. Please note that I did that just for myself and will not publish it because I'm to lazy to add all the error handling, do updates etc. I just provide this as is, and whoever wants to use it locally or maybe make an addon from it: please go ahead and use the code any way you want! I also post it here so that it can be found in Google for other people looking for this.
With these two files (get your own icons please) you will have a webextension that shows a little icon in the URL bar. When you click it, the "Remember logins and passwords for websites" options in the preferences will toggle on and off. When it's off, you won't be asked for the master password on sites that you stored before. When it's on, you get the popup asking for it. When it was off and you want your password filled in on a page, you have to switch it on and reload the page.
Very basic functionality, but maybe someone has fun extending it.
