Firefox start crashing after the recent update, I use trial and error and figured it's specifically Youtube. Browsing on other sites, even watching videos from other sites has cause zero issues so far. All my recent crashes all states: "EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT"

Hello mozilla support,

     I have been having this issue for a couple days where I've been trying to connect to a network on my personal device, and getting sent to "ping.archlinux.org/nm-check.txt", but upon it opening it would prompt me to login to the network (then clicking on login would go to ping.archlinux.org and so on...)
     For a while I was messing around with NetworkManager configs to no success, but then I found captive portal detection and I've made progress on solving the issue, so far I've tried turning "network.captive-portal-service.enabled" to false but then the "open network login page" button stopped showing up entirely and trying to search would so a no WIFI page,
     so that won't work, then I tried changing "captivedetect.canonicalURL" to an empty string, but then the network login page was obviously an empty page, I'm really not sure what to do now, I haven't found any answers yet, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

PG&E, a Norther CA utility, has redone their user site, but will not allow FireFox to be used as a browser. I thought you should be made aware of this.

I want you to be aware a Northern Calif. Utility, PGE, has rebuilt their website so FireFox cannot be used. I do not know if this is legal. I can no longer pay my bill using their website, and by phone, I am charged a fee. I don't know if this is legal, but you should not want this happening to the only safe browser.

For some websites, Firefox doesn't seem to try to resolve them in normal browsing. As seen in the screenshot, Firefox stays on the New Tab page. When trying to access through a hyperlink, the favicon of the current page blinks out for a fraction of a second but nothing else happens. This happens with all of the websites I've tried with the .fun TLD (e.g. neal.fun, jklm.fun) and the .work TLD (e.g. frame.work, at.work). This does not happen in private browsing however, where these websites function normally.

This happens only on my PC that runs Manjaro. I also have a PC on Ubuntu, and it does not have this issue. I have tried clearing cache and cookies, to no avail. I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox as I'm afraid of losing session information and extensions. Any help, ideally allowing me to keep the aforementioned data, would be greatly appreciated.

System information: OS: Manjaro Linux Kernel: 5.10.224-1-MANJARO Firefox version: 129.0.1 (64-bit)

Had to restart my computer because it froze, but when i open firefox all my tabs are suddenly gone, this has never happened before and i do force restart my pc plenty of times.

the "restore previous session" button doesnt even show up in my menu; my about:profile page doesnt show or open my previous activity; and all my files in the sessionstore-backups folder are way too small and recent to be holding my old tabs ( i had over 300 open)

What can i do?

I have noticed some activity in my server logs featuring user agent strings where the "rv" component contains a decimal number greater than 0, such as the following example:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:115.8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/124.0

Could you please clarify if there are instances where the "rv" portion of a user agent string would legitimately include a decimal number greater than 0?

This looks to be something suspicious going on and would like to make sure if this is something legitimate or not.

First noticed the issue on 10/03 where while watching some streams on twitcth, I noticed that audio would play smoothly but the video feed was stuttering every other second. Have gone through and made several changes to the about:config section, some of those changes include.

layers.acceleration.force-enabled media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled network.http.throttle.version media.suspend-bkgnd-video.enabled

Also checked the stream stats for twitch while watching and compared them to what happens when watching the same stream on chrome and noticed that in Firefox, the FPS counter would completely disappear and my skipped frames would increase by the several thousands.

When compared to Chrome, which has been actively playing the stream for nearly 2 hours plus, my skipped frames has not jumped anywhere near the levels Firefox has.

Changing the latency mode does nothing, stream quality doesnt make a difference. The only way to stop the stuttering is to refresh the page or stream, but this issue occurs every 5-10 minutes when prior to 10/03 issue never occured.

From what I can tell the issue also occurs on Youtube. Issue also gets worse if I were to click onto another Firefox window/tab.

Note: the ss with the massive amount of skipped frames is Firefox, and the other is Chrome.

Note2: Troubelshoot mode didnt help either as after letting it sit longer the same problem would occur

I had two Firefox windows open and I accidentally closed the good one while trying to close out another app. Is there an "in-Firefox" app that will restore everything?

I tried reading the instructions but couldn't comprehend them outside of changing the name of sessionstore.something. I couldn't comprehend where to get the tabs I accidentally closed.

I would prefer the easy button. The easiest button possible.

Thanks.

This issue started a few weeks ago. When I receive an email in my outlook account and click on it, a new window opens but there is no content, the page is blank. I know the link is working because if I copy and paste it into a new window it works fine. Is there a setting I need to change to be able to click on a link and have it open, like it has in the past? Since it is a new issue I am not sure if it is from an update or something. Thank you

Long ago I developed muscle memory to type in the main part of a website domain and complete it with Ctrl-Enter in the address bar.

That supposedly adds the www. prefix at the beginning and .com at the end.

Works great except that it seems to append "http:// to the beginning. That often results in a warning that I'm trying to go to an insecure domain.

How can I modify this behavior to append "httpS://" to the beginning to avoid all of these warnings?
