Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

In the old version you rendered tables correctly - MS-IE and Edge did not. In the present version you have - mysteriously - inherited their error - how has that happened? The problem: If a table is long, it is rendered in a very narrow column. The limit is somewhere between 215 and 259 rows. Example: http://danbbs.dk/%7Estst/slaegt_adelsvaaben/0_adelsvaaben.htm#R

 There is one table pr letter in the alphabeth, only letter S goes wrong. 

Best regards Steen Thomsen

Unable to use Facebook search in groups anymore

I'm not sure how long this has been going on for, perhaps a month now, but I cannot search for anything when I am in a Facebook group. A blue loading bar appears at the top and fills all the way to the end but no search results are ever returned no matter how long I wait.

I've tried clearing the cache, clearing all history and cookies. I've tried starting Firefox in diagnostic mode without add-ons, I've tried refreshing. I even uninstalled the whole thing and reinstalled it as a clean copy but it still doesn't work! It's beyond irritating now.

For information, if I switch to Internet Explorer, or whatever they call that awful thing now, it does work.

I'm running Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

Appreciate any help,

Ben

Suddenly getting ads on Google in Firefox

Hello, as of yesterday, I noticed that my Google searches were displaced by ads. If I search something, Google would normally display a short summary and a little piece of information at the top of the page, but instead the first ~10 results are all ads, one of the top ones always being yahoo.com. Same goes for searching for translations "[Any word] + language" normally results in the translation tool being displayed at the top, but again just ads.

I have scanned my PC for viruses (with the Windows Defender and Bitdefender) but at least they didn't find anything. When I deactivate all my extensions (Which is only Adblocker, ironically), nothing changes. When I browse in Safe Mode, the ads do not appear. I have already cleared my Cache etc. but that didn't do too much. No I installed a Scriptblocker and with that, Google is back to normal again. But of course, even if that workaround works, I'd also like to know what is causing this. (I also checked with Chrome for example, the problem is Firefox specific)

Any ideas what I could try next or what the problem might be?

Re your (partial email & apology) sent to me by mistake:

"Greetings, It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. You know what else was humbling? Sending out an email by mistake, full of out-of-context Sagan quotes being used as placeholder text (thank you, Sagan Ipsum)."

So I looked for the humor in it, but then remembered that since you "partner" with the cursed WEF, it's more likely an expression of a severe mental illness that characterizes all who "partner" with them, & thus only deranged types might find funny.

I use Firefox on my Mac. Since updating to the OS Ventura, I now see many words on different sites, as well as numbers, show up as things like zzjk{d instead of saying brett. This happens on my ebay site, my american express site which I cannot see any numbers of transactions cost since all the numbers show up as (d9 f for example. Something is not working correctly. I checked and and up to date with all firefox updates. Safari works perfect on all sites so this is a Firefox issue. See attached for how some areas on eBay look. Not all words are like this, some are still english spelling correctly. But some pages like this support page are completely unrecognizable but works correctly on Safari.

Hi. Today, I noticed an unknown gmail address is superimposed on every Firefox screen & site I visit. It is locked in position as I scroll.

I've refreshed Firefox, opened it in Safe Mode. Quit & restarted Firefox & still the strangers' gmail address remains in place, even when opening a Private Window.

Is "8brentk@gmail.com" known to anyone? Have I been hacked? What can & should I do to get rid of this weird thing? Thanks.

The attached image shows Chrome and Firefox accessing the exact same URL at the exact same time. Chrome is successful, Firefox is not (actually, fails over and over). So . . . wut? Clearly not a network problem, clearly not an accessibility problem, there is no firewall or proxy and Firefox is able to access other sites. Only this one is a problem. At least, so far. Security setting is Standard.
