This is *not* about the addons-meggadon from May. Like everyone else, I experienced that, I "enabled studies" at the time, and everything was fixed.
When starting Firefox yesterday (September 18 I believe), it opened with all my bookmarks gone, all my browsing history vanished, and my most important addons disabled (adblock plus, dark reader, foxy proxy). Everything was working fine before. I did not do any manual updates, and I don't think FF did an automatic update recently (but I might not have noticed). I currently have FF 69.0.1 (64-bit)
By "browsing history" I mean when I start typing into the addressbar, it used to suggest my most commonly visited sites, now it does not.
I managed to reload the bookmarks from a backup using the normal bookmarks restore feature. The browsing history is not a big deal (but does seem to indicate that some serious reset took place).
The addons are key to me, I really want to fix this. They are still listed in the add-ons manager, but are marked as "disabled". There is no enable button.
At first I thought it was a reprise of the old problem from May 2019.
So I double-checked: studies are enabled, and I can see completed studies that seem to indicate the fix was done.
Based on an old post here from rcr1959 I tried going to about:config and setting extensions.signer.hotfixed to false. This didn't resolve the problem, so I put it back to true (i.e., how I found it).
There was some suggestions that a master password might cause problems, or profiles. I don't use a master password, and have never set up a profile. Under about:profiles, I see "Profile: default" and no others. There is an option to "Restart with Add-ons disabled" and another to "Restart normally". I tried the second one; it restarted fine but the add-ons are still disabled.

Hi!
If i want to manage cookies timewise, i have 3 option: -Store them until they want to be stored -Store them only in session -Do not store them
Is there any option to store them 5 days, 6 hours, 2 weeks, whatever value, then if the FF starts it clears them automaticly?

Hey guys. I don't know what is going on but Firefox on my new gaming rig is acting weird. I tried clean install Windows but no work.
Everytime I visit site that has CloudFlare DDOS protection, I can't get pass "Checking your browser before accessing xxxxxx." like animedao.com for instance. It just loop the "Checking your browser before accessing xxxxx" with new id every 5 seconds.
I tried clean install Firefox on my secondary laptop with Shadow Defender on to see if this is Firefox issue, and on my secondary laptop with SD on and clean install Firefox allow me to pass CloudFlare DDOS protection " Checking your browser before accessing xxxxx."
But on my gaming rig, I can't get pass this. Help please.
Chrome and Edge work fine with site that has Cloudflare DDOS protection but Firefox can't get pass "Checking your browser before accessing."

Login to the New York Times is in a permanent loop. You login in the usual way, and the page loads without logging you in. It tries to sell me a subscription when I already have one. I have already cleared the cache and cookies and suffered having all of my websites broken by Firefox forcing us to re-login to everything on the web over and over because we have to go through the ritual of clearing cache and cookies over and over because Firefox is always malfunctioning. I have already permanently disabled "hardware acceleration" and have done all of these multiple times, numerous times. It's undoubtedly Firefox built in security devices that are causing this block. Chrome does not cause this, but there are other reasons not to use Chrome unless I have to, which is what I now have to do because of Firefox hyper-intrusive "security" software. If I could disable all the security bloat in Firefox, I would do so. It's just impossible. It does on month after month, year after year. We are prisoners of these device builders!

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

I get the following message when launching after downloading a program: "***.msi is an executable file. Executable files may contain viruses or other malicious code that could harm your computer. Use caution when opening this file. Are you sure you want to launch “***.msi”?
- .msi is my company's product. This message does not appear for other programs I have downloaded and launched. Why is this warning inconsistent in that it targets my program but not others?
Thanks.

Firefox almost always crashes on closing. If I reopen firefox within a couple mins of closing it tells me it can't open because it is already running. If I leave it closed usually after several mins I get a notification that it has crashed. I've tried disabling all add ons/refresh/disabling sync etc. with no luck so just trying to see if anyone has any ideas on possible culprits. This is on multiple Win 10 machines, can post more crash reports later tonight. My other system it happens every single time I close it.

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

The passing of Windows credentials into our homepage using a mozilla.cfg file isn't working properly and I can't figure out why. I know Firefox is reading the config file because the homepage is correctly pointed. However I have edited the following settings to:
lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth-trusted-uris", "servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-allow-proxies", true); lockPref("network.negotiate-auth-delegation-uris", "servername.domain.corp");
This is what the settings are for the homepage: //set intranet as home page lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://servername.domain.corp"); lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
When I open firefox it directs to our homepage, however it prompts for credentials. Am I missing something?

Long time Firefox user on linux and only recently noticed this RAM usage issue. Maybe it also affects FF 68?
I can use firefox all day running linux peppermint OS 9(fully updated) with Xanmod kernel 4.19.66 but after I suspend the laptop and resume, firefox behaves normally for approx. 1/2 hour then RAM usage increases dramatically. I only noticed this while running a virtual machine and FF ate all my remaining ram.
Minimizing memory usage from about:memory helps for a short while but FF will again consume too much ram.
However, if I close FF and restart teh ram usage stays within normal limits all day ...until I suspend and wake the laptop again.
I have noticed this issue on two different configurations:
1. T510 laptop running Peppermint OS 9 with windows virtual guest taking majority of RAM. FF on linux host usually stays within 2GB of usage but after suspend it jumps much higher and consumes ram freezing the laptop.
2. W530 laptop running Windows 10 OS (1903) and Linux Peppermint 10 OS as virtual guest. FF on linux guest also consumes more RAM after waking Win10 from suspend and crashes Linux virtual guest.

Hello,
I am having bit of a problem with the cookies in the latest Firefox 69 and the 69.0.1 update that I had just now. In the Firefox I had Cookies and site data permissions set to allow specific sites for the current session and now after the update looks like those cookies are getting blocked... I always have been using private mode and I had disabled all the cookies. Looks like a bug, right? I think I could try add exceptions to the Content blocking, but then again, other stuff apart from cookies will be allowed. Running browser in the safe mode gives same result.
I would appreciate some help to resolve that issue. Thank you.

I am trying to install above mentioned Firefox version in a Terminal Server environment. How can I set a specific download folder/path as permanent location for downloading a file from the internet for all terminal user profiles. I would like to accomplish this with autoconfig.js or per user.js profile. Or is there a specific registry I can set in regedit for Firefox and where?
You help is much appreciated :) I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I then go into about:profiles and have to delete multiple profiles that have appeared and set my original one to default, which works fine and i have all my bookmarks back. However as soon as I switch my macbook off and on again, I am back to square one and have to delete old profiles and set my old one to default. This is incredibly frustrating.

Thought problem was just on MyPoints when viewing videos but occurred yesterday at InBoxDollas while playing a game.
- 9/15 - Attached is one of the video screens with the website slowing...... In this group Postables - almost all had this come up. Sometimes just froze there & when I refreshed screen this ... website slowing.... came up & I had to StopIt for video to continue. {Often the screen would be Black as attached shows, sometimes black with an x in the middle so I refreshed}**
Last night I deleted History (except for personal.). Opened MyPoints this morning & went to Postables where half or more of the videos had this popup line stating Website slowing...... & I had to keep clicking on StopIt. I went to the video in image I added but the 2nd from there had this popup - slowing website.... So I guess deleting history helped some perhaps - but is still there. {Searched last night & all the ideas/thoughts listed to stop this went back to 2016. Before deleting History, I went to registry & searched for Firefox Pioneer and also Shockware - None were found.

Sometimes the rectangle of the text in an element is different from the rectangle of the element itself. I know there are tow functions: Element.getBoundingClientRect() and Element.getClientRects(). but they can not find the rectangle of the text in an element.
For example, there is following element button: <button style="position:absolute; left:58px; top:324px; width:100px; height:40px;"> Both the span and the paragraph have a border set. </button> The text of the above button has gone out of the button. How can I get the rectangle of the text in this button?
