I hate the stupid thing. There are some pages that I go into and I've to them on my phone before but when I open them on my laptop I get the torn up page in the corner. The sites I've been to are good so why is some of the content blocked? Please tell me, if there is a way, how to remove this.

Just this. Thanks in advance. Here's this add-on's description: "Automatically resumes YouTube videos from where you played them last. Without this extension, for example, when you click through YouTube videos, back and forth, they always start from the beginning. No more. With this extension, previously seen videos will resume from where you left them at. Even if you restart your browser." I have: Author Appteligent LTD Version 1.2.3 Last Updated December 10, 2019

I had a game freeze on me and the freeze was the kind that prevented me from accessing Task Manager to force end it. I executed a Sign Out from the Windows Security window since that always fixes the issue for me. Firefox was one of the programs running at the time that I forced the sign out. Upon signing back in, Firefox no longer loads. Execute the program, UAC pops up to ask if I am sure I want to run Firefox and I hit Yes. Instead of running, like it normally does, it prompts me with another UAC window. Hit yes, another UAC windows. No error messages, it just keeps throwing up new UAC prompts at me. I turn off the UAC and Firefox still doesn't open, but I can see in Task Manager that it keeps opening and closing instances of itself.
Restarted multiple times, didn't resolve the issue. Uninstalled it, no change. Uninstalled my antivirus since that was causing me some other issues, no change. Tried to run the profile manager and it goes into a UAC loop as well. Copied my profile, deleted the original, clean installed Firefox... no change.
I haven't been able to find any information at all about any similar issue anywhere, so I really don't know what else to do.

Firefox no longer able to open SharePoint documents in app - "one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed"

I've been using Firefox for many months and rarely had issues with this, but I've been unable to open documents from SharePoint to the MSFT apps on my computer for the last two weeks. When I have a SharePoint link that I need to open, one of two things happens: - if I right-click on the link and select "open in Word" (or whatever MS product I need), I get the following error message: "Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address"
- If I open the document in the browser and then select "Open in app," it indicates that the app has been opened but nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello, There used to be a difference between watching a video in fullscreen mode via firefox or having the browser itself in fullscreen mode. After updating from 70 to 71 I can only get the latter to work.
- Tried different video hosting sites it doesn't make a difference
- they are not flash videos (that plugin is permanently disabled in my browser)
When clicking e.g. on the little sign on the bottom right of a youtube video that used to put that video in fullscreen showing ONLY the video on my entire screen now I get the video with firefox tabbar and adressbar visible. Super annoying!
On another note I just got that "picture in picture" feature which isn't working at all, when i click on it a little window opens for a second only to be immediately closed again and clicking on the "pip-button" visible on the video has no function or effect anymore. Don't know if that's related at all. Really should know better than to update firefox I can't remember the last time I did without breaking something and spending hours or days trying to find a solution I'm just tired of it...
Greetings and thanks for any tips Edit: starting in safe-mode doesn't change any of it

I created an email and when sent it disappeared and did not show in sent, trash or copy to my wife. In the Explorer file folder it showed as the most recent folder.

After a Firefox session restore problem, I lost my entire browsing history and can't seem to get it back

When I restored a previous session from Firefox after a laptop crash, instead of restoring to the supposed previous day it went back to a session that happened 2 months ago. I'm not sure why this is, but the more important problem came later.
So I tried fixing that by going into the Firefox profile folder and restoring previous versions of the sessionstore files. Unfortunately I wasn't making any progress and at one point reopened Firefox to see that my entire history disappeared. I'm not sure how this happened. I know the history is stored within the places.sqlite but in no way shape and form did I go near that file.
I used ShadowExplorer to find an earlier version of my profile folder and copied and pasted it as a backup. I used the places.sqlite from that but I was still getting an empty history and it was also not recording any more new history. I also tried pasting the entire backup profile folder onto the main profile folder. And I tried creating a new profile and transferring my places.sqlite there but I get the same result. However my bookmarks are still there.
Is there no way to get my history back? I'm guessing it is a corrupted places.sqlite. Is it possible to repair the places.sqlite? Sadly I don't have any knowledge on how to use SQlite shell to repair it myself. It would be nice if someone could do that for me! Strangely, the places.sqlite file size is 10240kb, which seems a bit too small for my entire history.
I'm terrible at explaining things so I apologize if it was hard to follow. I'm distraught about this and pretty desperate to get my history back. I'd appreciate any help.

A couple days ago, Firefox 71.0 started loading any and all pages incorrectly. Some images and elements no longer load. I've checked as many FF Forum areas as I can to try to find a solution. One thing I've noticed is that I cannot change themes from the Add-Ons section. There are no options under Themes to do so anymore. One of the screenshots below illustrates this.
I've included screen shots of some sites that illustrate the problem.
I've restarted with Add-Ons disabled but nothing changes, the websites still load incorrectly.
I've had to stop using Firefox now as I can't solve this and the pages look awful. I've never seen this happen before. I haven't added a new extension in months.
If anyone has any ideas how to solve this, I will be very, very grateful. Thank you.
After My Computer Crashed Due to a Selective Power Failure, My Firefox Tabs Refuse to Completely Load.

After my computer lost power due to a selective power failure (we are not currently sure whether it was a blown fuse or something else), we Rebooted the computer after connecting the power cable to an outlet that works. Currently power is still of at both the original outlet, and several other outlets in the area, as well as a selective area downstairs.
Upon booting up Firefox (I have it set so that it will reopen any tabs I was viewing upon shutdown or restart or crash) I noticed that it was taking longer to load than usual (even accounting for the large number of tabs I constantly have open), and then after it had loaded that I could not access any of that tabs. I can click on them, and they will be highlighted if moused over, but the only thing that shows is a white screen for the actual site. I have included a picture of this. I have come to the conclusion that this is a Firefox error, given I was able to restart and recover all of my Google Chrome Tabs.
In addition to the Tabs not loading, Tabs to the left and right of the Tabs currently viewable are not accessible, and seem to almost not exist, if not for the lack of scroll arrows. In addition, scrolling left and/or right produces no response.
Normally I would grab the crash file and reopen the tabs from that, but I don't know whether I currently can, and current Firefox issues noted below make me leery of trying.
Upon noting that I could, I attempted to open a second Firefox session, and succeeded. However, in this session some of the same issues are occurring, mainly that I cannot search anything through the html bar, including opening websites by name (i.e. google.com produces but a blank white screen and no reaction), and there is no new tabs screen when I open a new tab (as I have set up in my settings to be the case). However, I can, for some reason, access sites from my bookmarks. The only way I was able to send this report is that Firefox automatically opened to a homepage when I opened the new session.
Needless to say, I'm rather concerned. I love Firefox as a browser, and not being able to use it is both concerning and frustrating. I hope to hear from you soon to resolve the matter.
Many Thanks.
P.S. If it at all helps (please disregard if it doesn't) the symbol that looks like a multi-forked branch on the modem is dark. I unfortunately do not know what that means.

When I try to open the file CREME VISGAE LAVANDE .jpg for example, Firefox will open 4 tabs in a new window. Each tab, is the document name divided by "websites" like this:

The image won't show in Firefox as it usually did some hours ago. I tried a Cookies/Cache cleaning process, didn't work. Restarting w/o add on, didn't work.
I had to, open the file containing the download and open the image using the windows tool.

Every time I try to go to a custom protocol URL to get redirected to a program for things like website sign-in I get this error page instead of it working or offering the program selector. "The address wasn’t understood
Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (cag) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address."
The protocol shows up in the applications setting and is pointed to the correct program. I have made sure my Firefox and Windows 10 are fully up to date. I tried launching Firefox in safe mode. I actually completely reinstalled my computer. It works briefly until a little after sync completes but the computer it is syncing from does not have this issue.
This issue has occurred so far with Slack and Datto RMM.
Any help would be fantastic!

Hello. In my bookmarks library I have a lot of folders organized in a tree with multiple branches themselves organized in hierarchic levels. Sometimes I don't find the bookmark I want to use by browsing my tree, probably because I didn't put it in the right location in the tree. I can find it by the "Search bookmarks" function but this function doesn't provide the bookmark location in the tree (and I don't see any other way to locate it). Thus I can't correct the bookmark location error in the tree.
Is there a way to locate a bookmark in library folders tree ?

A new line, char(10) is inserted after the text. Confirmed with a find function.
