Hi to all

• • My Mac: MacPro Catalina X.15.7 / MacBook Pro 2011**

I'm looking for answers. For several weeks now, Firefox has been unable to start, and other programs are hindered upon launch.

After shutting down, I have to start Firefox 130.x 2-3 times. The icon in the Dock doesn't respond, followed by a crash report.

PDF Expert 2 also won't start unless Firefox has been started at least 2-3 times.

After starting Firefox 2-3 times, it finally launches, as does PDF Expert 2. However, this can suddenly change again.

As long as Firefox is trying to start, many NON-Mac programs, but also WINDOWS programs like Word & Co., are unable to start.

And here's what I've tried:

- Completely deleted all affected programs - Reinstalled Firefox - Deleted Word and Co. (!) (still not installed) - Reinstalled PDF Expert 2 - Reset PRAM, started Firefox without add-ons, booted Mac in safe mode... everything the internet suggests - The Activity Monitor shows no irregularities (how can I explore?)

WHY is Firefox disrupting the entire Mac? What resources does the program use that causes other programs to be disrupted?

What is affected that prevents multiple programs from starting? WHERE can I at least read about this (logs)?

I have the same configurations on other Macs, and everything has been working fine for years, so it must be something with the MacBook Pro's system.

Reinstall the entire system? I doubt it will fix the problems since everything runs fine without Firefox.

Can anyone give me some clues?

Thanks a lot.... I will give you more information, if any questions (if at all)

I am having problems setting up an email account in TB. I already have ONE gmail account setup and it's currently sending/receiving fine. However, when attempting to setup my 2nd acct, I'm getting: 400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

I can't for the life of me figure this out despite comparing both accounts' SERVER SETTINGS repeatedly.

1) When I put firefox on snap layout (half and half), the tab bar seems too small. Is there a way to lengthen it? 2) Is there a way to hide tab bar and url bar, excluding fullscreen mode? Thank you.

Windows 10 home, Verizon email account. Getting the messages "sending of the message failed" and then "creating mail message" (and then nothing happens) ONLY when I try to send any attachment. This just started a few days ago after an update. I'm using version 128.2.3esr. Just prior to this, TB updated every time I opened the application, probably 4 times in a row. I've found the .msi for the edition just prior to the one I'm using. Can I simply install it over top of the existing and not lose anything. I've backed up my mail/settings into a zip file on my desktop. Thank you!

All my Tabs are crashing. It began a few days ago. A pop up with the option to refresh my tab or all my Tabs pops up, but neither of them help. The browser is not usable. Please help.

How can I disable the toolbar when using Firefox PDF Reader? I found some info here:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1119523. But maybe there is easier way this can now be done? I would like to disable the toolbar only for viewing PDF in full screen mode. Thank you

Hello,

I can't browser anything, I have tried to restart the laptop, restart the browser, re-install the browser. Nothing works, It even crashes in Troubleshoot Mode.

last crash id: bp-f68a2a0e-0c3f-47b7-8836-8354c0240929

Thank you!

Hi,

For the past couple of months, FF has been running insanely slow. It takes several minutes for webpages to load. My full-fibre broadband is up to speed, I've cleared the cache numerous times, I've disabled most of my extensions, I'm running the latest version, and I only have 5-6 tabs open max.

When things are really slow, the task manager shows that FF is using huge amounts of memory, with more FF processes showing that I have tabs open.

According to a thread last year, Malwarebytes Browserguard was slowing FF down. Is this still the case? If so, what non-slowing alternative do you recommend? I don't want to turn it off until I have another one installed.

Thanks!

Hello, I love Thunderbird, but my new Macbook Air keyboard does not have an insert key (for overwriting). Is there any facility within Thunderbird for Mac for me to toggle this mode? (For instance, Word for Mac has the overwrite toggle in its bottom menu bar)? For deleting characters forward, I must use fn + backspace, but an insert or overwrite mode would so useful for general editing. Regardless, many thanks, Nick

So basically i had done what i need to do base on the advice in

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1412553 

i had added chrome file in the profile folder and done all as the picture shown below

• i censored it afraid that it was a important information (im not a techno guy)

but it doesnt change a thing. i was playing diep.io and agar.io whenever i hover it to the top it still poppin up

any suggestion?

I don't like the new layout of Shortcuts. The "Add Shortcut" slot always disappears whenever I clear my history or have "remember history" disabled in settings so I can't add more pins if I wanted to.

How can I get the old, previous layout back?

Old layout

The Firefox Icon has somehow been replaced by a white rectangle containing a smaller blue rectangle inside of it. See screenshots showing the shortcut on my desktop as well as in the task bar. What happened and how do I fix this? I have spent hours multiple days trying to find answers on the web and on my machine. Please help. Thank you.

Clicking on a toolbar shortcut, each selection overwrite the existing open tab instead of opening a separate tab. For Example, I opened Facebook and then LIRR, the image below only shows the LIRR tab. The same thing happens in Chrome.

(I was in Customize Toolbar earlier but didn't touch the shortcut tabs and they all still display. If I open a shortcut from my desktop, they open in separate tabs just not from custom toolbar). Images below displays my current settings in what I thought may help.

Windows Version

 OS Name	Microsoft Windows 11 Home
 Version	10.0.22631 Build 22631

Firefox Version: 130.0.1 (64 bit)

I unchecked FF tab settings, Rechecked FF Tab Settings, went to Task Manager and ended FF task, Restarted multiple times, checked for FF updates, ran Malwarebytes Antivirus and Windows Defender, nothing seemed to fix.

Help please, not a super technical person. :P
