Firefox crashed with many open tabs. I went to History > Recently closed tabs > Reopen all tabs, clicked. Nothing. The list showing only very few of the tabs I had open, but none of them are restoring anyway.

I have Google Calendar open in a Firefox tab. I want to add the tab to my Mac desktop Dock for quick access. I've tried dragging the tab to the Desktop and then dragging from Desktop to the Dock without success, and searches generally return how-tos for only Chrome or Safari. Help!

Hello! I saw this question (below) on the forum. I'm having much the same problem. Firefox is crashing nearly all my tabs, even those that had been previously loaded. I cannot use it at all. Clicking "Restore this tab" does nothing. (Firefox has crashed tabs in the past but in those times, "Restore Tab" actually worked.) I actually had to write down on paper the subject and website of each of my tabs (and I had a lot of them, so this took a long time) because when I clicked on each already-loaded tab, Firefox would crash it and I'd lose it--and then it would crash the next one in line before I even got to it.

I have been using Firefox for years and it has never given me this much trouble. I've had tabs stored on it for a long time. "Restore session" always worked if I had to restart my computer for something. It does not work now because every tab crashes with the notice: "GAH! Your tab crashed. Click 'Restore tab' to restore your session." But "restore tab" simply crashes again.

Firefox has allowed a Masterpiece Theater tab and a link to my local newspaper, Pioneer Press (I have a subscription). Others crash. Even some Firefox pages have crashed!

After writing down the info for all my tabs, and then clicking on each one so it would crash and then deleting them so that Firefox had no tabs listed, I tried restarting my computer but this did not help. I also checked Malwarebytes, my anti-virus program, and didn't see a problem there (and I've had it for two years, always using Firefox with not much problem). I think I clicked on "update Firefox" recently and it seemed to work for a while after that, but now this.

I know a little about computers as a user but I'm not very savvy about repair or about all the different commands and controls. Trying to browse through all your articles to find how to fix the problem is exhausting, time consuming and leaves me really confused because I don't really know how to do the things each article suggests. I don't have the time to read article after article and still not be able to fix the problem.

Do I actually need to delete Firefox and then reinstall it? I'd lose all my tabs (website history is still showing under "History), stored passwords and stored credit card information and all other stored information. I'd have to start over completely.

I love Firefox and don't want to switch to Google or some other browser but I might have to if this continues.

According to your instruction to the user below--please be sure to view her note--here are some of my recent crash reports. Thank you for any help you can give me. Please also tell me how to reply to you if what you suggest does not work.

FYI, I have Windows 10.

No matter what I try to read or go to, Firefox crashes repeatedly. I literally cannot use it at all. I keep getting: Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! Choose Restore This Tab or Restore All Crashed Tabs to reload the page/pages.

Clicking those options fixes nothing! How do I go back to the previous version, please?"

I have done everything i can possibly do to stop this problem and now its random. last night i lost 33 important tabs. everything in the settings and config file is checked off not to close the tabs yet they randomy close anyway. this is a deal breaker for me after years of putting up with it. unless someone can help its back to google i go.

Hello,

To explain the issue at hand I will copy the email I sent on Sunday to the Mozilla support team, by a member of which I was subsequently redirected here.

I am looking for a solution to a serious issue that occurred on my Mozilla Firefox browser on Thursday this week. It concerns a website called blankslate.io, which I use very frequently for taking various notes. On this site, it is possible to create a permanent account for storing one's notes, which I did not do because I thought it would not be necessary (though after this incident my mind on that has been changed). Without a permanent account, the notes taken there are saved locally only on the specific browser in the specific device. Onto the issue itself. My PC had been running critically low on memory, and, because of some misleading information I had received, I thought it was not possible to free more than only a very small amount. On Thursday, while I was playing a game, the remaining amount ran out (which surprised me because there had still been enough for everything to function properly when I checked before starting to play). To free some memory space, Firefox then performed an action which I will not be able to identify (please describe to me what this action was if you can) that resulted in me getting logged out of websites in which I have created accounts. I had no trouble logging back in everywhere except for blankslate.io, where, because of the way the notes are saved on the specific browser only and my lack of a permanent account, I now have no way of accessing my work, the site displaying a message of "This note is private" if I try to open one of my saved notes from either my browser history or my frequently visited sites. Neither is there any way of contacting the website's developer, because of the site's nature, or finding advice online, as the site is not a widely known one. Is there any way for me to regain access to the notes I had saved on this PC's Firefox browser? I still have access to all of the notes I had saved on a different browser or on different devices, so all of my work has not been lost, but this PC's Firefox browser contained, among others, my single most important note, one I have been using daily for 5 years and am highly distressed about not being able to access anymore. Please get back to me at your earliest convenience and, if it is possible to provide me with a way to resolve this issue, I will be immensely grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to read my request, I truly hope there is some way someone can help. (I can add the optional troubleshooting information as well in the case the issue can be solved with its help)

I have an account with Mozilla. I just built a new PC and installed Ubuntu 2024. On that machine when I try to login with my current primary email address it tells me that the account doesn't exist and prompts me to create a password. At some point I figured it might be possible to just push through, so I did create a new password. But I am not getting a confirmation email for an account that already should have existed.

Why did my new pc not find my Mozilla account when I gave it my email? How do I now fix this broken login?

Hi! ...I would like to get rid of that little icon/button (because I already have Fifo on mobile, thanks!) How can I do it? Regards and thank you

Hi. I am wondering if there is a way to make the collapsed sidebar hide completely when the mouse cursor is not touching the left hand side of the screen.

I know its possible to make the sidebar expand on hover but id like if its gone until i hover over it.

Looked trough a lot of the help articles and googled about it, but could not find any solution to my "problem"

( picture shows the collapsed sidebar, would like that hidden fully unless you hover over that space )

Thank you Stig

I've searched other forums and I am not having any luck. If I open 1 Firefox browser then 10-15 open instances will show up under Task Manager. They load automatically. This slows down everything and I have to delete the excess browsers. Would you please offer some advice? Thank you in advance.

I like Playing the Free Casino Games, I'm a Disabled Wounded Warrior. And I play the Games to Help me with my PTSD. but for some reason they won't Load on your Browser. I don't want to go back to Microsoft, but if you can't Fix my Issues. I might be Uninstalling your Browser and go back to Microsoft.

For the past few days to a week Firefox has failed to load some websites such as Amazon or Login.gov. I tried accessing the same sites using Edge and it worked fine. So it is not a problem with the sites. I do not believe I have changed my settings, although there is a new version of AdGuard which may have something to do with it. I believe the problem started with the update of Firefox on Nov 18, however. I am using Duck Duck Go, but have the same problem using Google as my default search engine. I do notice that I have a message in settings saying my browser is being managed by my organization and showing this : ImportEnterpriseRoots. I am an individual user, so am not sure what that means or if it is related. In any case, I need help figuring out how to fix this. I do not want to use Edge but may have to if I cannot get this fixed.

Hello. I'm having trouble with my Bookmarks Menu. All it shows is my recent Bookmarks. When I click on manage bookmarks. It shows the folders that are supposed to be in the Bookmarks Menu. And I can see the Bookmarks I have added to those folders. But none of it shows up in the Bookmarks tab in my Firefox browser menu. It just says recent bookmarks at the top. And of course shows my recent Bookmarks. Any suggestions on how I can get it to show my folders?

Over the past few updates, I’ve noticed an issue with Firefox where it no longer restores my previous session when reopening the browser.

I normally keep four tabs pinned and about five additional tabs open for browsing and work. In the past, I could simply click the X to close Firefox, and when I reopened it, all my tabs that are pinned and unpinned would automatically come back. Recently, this stopped happening. Now, if I close Firefox, it opens with a fresh window instead of restoring my previous tabs.

I’ve already checked the setting under General/Startup, and Open previous windows and tabs is enabled. Because of this issue, I avoid closing Firefox entirely, since rebuilding all my tabs each time has become a hassle.

Is there a way to fix this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks :)
