For YEARS I had been relying on Firefox not only to clear "history" but also to clear the cache immediately when I exit Firefox. Recently started having major problems with running ANYTHING after streaming some video. Complained to the streaming web site but then realized it might be that Firefox had been changed somehow with all its "updates". When I looked into Firefox cache clearing I discovered there was already 1.0 Gigabytes of garbage in my cache from a very brief video streaming access following from a warm reboot of my computer needed to get anything at all to run properly. Downloaded the apparent "new" addon called "ClearCache" but wanted to check whether my guess is correct that the years functional cache clearing has now been separated out and that the new addon will solve my operational problem after streaming video.

After upgrading to 72.0.1 Firefox becomes 'non-responding' and locks up EVERY time I try to print something. What can I do?

Laptop OS Win8.1 Pro, 64 bit. When I select 'Print', I get the printer selection box. When I select 'Print' or 'Cancel' Firefox immediately fades out and 'unresponding' happens. Requires being shut down by Task Manager, as the red "X" in the upper right corner does not work, either. Print worked fine prior to the last update.

Hi all, am using Debian linux with Firefox 60.8.0esr (64-bit). I know the whole spiel about Firefox not supporting java applets any longer, but I have some old IoT devices that i need to get configured and they use a java applet for some portions of the configuration. I understand Firefox ESR 52 still supports java applets, and i've downloaded version 52.9.0esr and extracted it to its own location. Now i can start it without interferin with my v60 profile by running it like: "./firefox --no-remote --profile ." I had to go into options and turn off the automatic update because otherwise it updates it to v60. Then I downloaded jre-8u221-linux-x64.tar.gz and extracted that. Now the question is how do i get the plugin installed into the Firefox v52? thanks

I'm coding a website with Google Maps. I add a bunch of markers to the map and to each of those an infoWindow that is activated by clicking on the marker. Was working late 1/14 and early 1/15 (5 AM ish), but by 11:00 AM it wasn't working. I changed it to simply alert() when a marker was clicked and that didn't work either. The Google page explaining infoWindows has an example map (https://developers-dot-devsite-v2-prod.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/infowindow-simple) and it doesn't work either. My code and the Google example work on Chrome and IE. I did all the restart with add-ons disabled, restarted Firefox fresh, got rid of add-ons to no avail. Please help! I love using Firefox, but will be unable to if this isn't resolved. Thank you, Alan
Firefox tends to evict from cache JavaScript with size over 15MB

We are using web application that uses JavaScript batch files, where one of them exceeded size of 15MB. Since then Firefox seems to evict the file from cache and always load it from the server also excluding If-Modified-Since header. When the file size is decreased to former size ( around 12MB ), caching works again as expected: file is either served from Firefox cache or If-Modified-Since header is sent in request to verify if server file changed. When I checked difference between files server, there was nothing changed except file size and content ( i.e. there is no dynamic changing of file, cache headers stay the same, ... ).
Is there some configuration setting or hard-coded limit which forces Firefox to evict larger files from cache and enforce their reloading?
Here is the list of selected response headers on mentioned file:
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' Expires: Tue, 22 Sep 2020 07:43:13 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=31536000 Cache-Control: public Last-Modified: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT ETag: "0" Content-Type: application/javascript;charset=UTF-8 Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Thanks for any hints.

HI- Recently lots of my fonts have started displaying as question marks on certain sites (such as the autofill on Google). If I uncheck the box in prefs that allows websites to use their own fonts, it's fine. But then the sites look nasty. I've reinstalled Firefox 69.0.2 but its no better. It's a work Apple mac so I can't access all the settings but the issue is only on Firefox. Please don't make me use Chrome! Thanks

Hi, Today i tried opening an PDF, but instead of opening the PDF the page is just blank and it downloads another copy of the PDF. even though the address bar is this: file:///C:/Users/[redacted]/Downloads/[redacted].pdf I tried pasting the address into microsoft edge and there it works fine.

Years using Firefox. Suddenly, a month ago, after 10-15 minutes of use, Firefox hangs and hangs the entire PC. Have to "force shutdown" and restart PC. I did a Firefox Refresh, didn't fix it. Thinking this is a problem created in a recent Mozilla update. Having to use Chrome now, but would prefer to use Firefox. Any help appreciated.
Why am I getting the error message (below) ? E.G I open an online news article with an embedded video but will nor play and issues error message below.
This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED
