I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Just prior to updating to 50.02 I noticed I would open facebook, and it would crash then or if I opened up my messages in facebook. I have windows 7 computer, and until recently it was fine, now its crashing in firefox every time I open that up. I need help please.

Over the last week or so my Firefox seems to be dying about once per day. It just slows to a crawl, and then stops responding entirely and I have to use task manager to kill it. When I look in task manager it's taking up as much as 30% of my system resources, despite only having 4 tabs open at any given time. I've tried both refreshing and uninstalling Firefox, and neither has solved the problem. When I looked at the health report, I noticed something that's confusing me, namely the amount of add-ons and extensions it claims I have running. It claims that there are 7 extensions running, but there are only 3 listed on my add-ons manager, all of which I installed manually, which is making me wonder if there are 4 somehow hidden extensions that are causing me problems, and don't go away when I remove or refresh Firefox. Is there any way that I could figure out what these might be or get someone from Mozilla to take a look and see if they can figure out what's going on?

i couldn't care less about viewing full screen, just want that annoyoing notification from appearing, when i watch a video, and it doesn't block the name of the video...please help!!!

Hi all -

I am using a 10 year old XP SP3 system for some legacy things and running FF 50.x. very nicely.

Let's face it, XP's days are past numbered. However, sites like CNET, CNN, etc. will not play the main video content. I've tried many of the articles and attempted fixes on this forum and understand that time is running out.

Is there some program or plug-in that can buy me some extra time or is it just going to be hit or miss? BBC's site works fine. It all depends on the website that is streaming the video.

How can I tell what format the video content is being streamed in?

I thought that Firefox would bring built-in compatibility by translating these new video formats so older systems can play them. Am I incorrect?

CNN Image attached to show example.

Any help appreciated and thanks! :)

I used to have to click on a message every now and then to establish focus before paging keys would work. Since the latest revision or two of Firefox I have to establish focus on EVERY page before paging keys work. Please fix the Focus problelm.

I have a super odd issue where firefox will not load images on my site and I cannot for the life of me understand why!!

I am using firefox 50.0.2 on win 10 64 bit. I have removed all add ons, cleared all cache, force reloaded and nothing seems to work. The site displays completely fine in Edge, Chrome, and Opera.

A public URL for the site is https://contributorbeta.imagesource.com

In the page header at the very top left of the page firefox displays the title / text instead of the logo. It says "IS Contributor Portal" The same issue can be seen throughout the page.

If you right click the header text where the logo should be and inspect the element, when hovering over the src of the image tag the firefox console reports that the image could not be loaded. However, if you right click the text again and copy the image location then open a new tab and paste the location the image can be loaded.

If you edit the source code using the inspector, you can add a dot '.' to the front of the URL and press enter and the image will show up. You can then remove the dot and press enter and the image will stay so there is no problem with the referencing I can see.

I have tried turning off hardware acceleration to no avail. I have also tried on two different installs of firefox 50.0.2.

Thanks, Kevin

Flash keeps crashing, with no other extension, in a pristine, vanilla Firefox, on all three machines I maintain. For the record, these are a custom LGA 775 Asus motherboard from about 6 years ago, a similarly old Dell Optiplex of a similar age, and a brand new HP Spectre x360. The graphics systems and their drivers have no similarities. Firefox just doesn't work with flash on these machines.

Forum questions about this keep recurring, and keep getting marked as solved, when they are clearly not! No solution is posted, just a flag for 'solved' which no one bothered to remove quicklu enough.

Is there a silver bullet for this that I am missing, or should I just uninstall Flash and rely on HTML5? Has Firefox stopped supporting Flash and I've missed it? Is there a clash between Java or another common pluggin? I can't find any dependencies like that when I try activating pluggins. If Flash is the only pluggin it crashes! I cannot even keep it running long enough to turn off the acceleration on the Adobe Flash page where you are supposed to right click to access options. Edge seems to work perfectly on the Flash sites I need to access, but I don't like not using Firefox.

Is there a fix, please???

Normally when typing a comment on Facebook :-) will change into a smiley when hitting the spacebar. Suddenly I'm just left with an empty space until I post the comment, then the smiley will be there to see.

I have not been able to find a solution on the web. A complete uninstall of Firefox, including removing ALL related files and a reinstall have not solved the issue.

Using Firefox on a PC with Windows 10. No plugins or extensions is currently used for Firefox.

I have tried Chrome, Waterfox, Mozilla 64-bit, 32-bit.. uninstalled Flash, reinstalled Microsoft Windows... refreshed FireFox, cleaned out ALL folders of Mozilla Firefox, cleared out extensions. No matter what I do, FireFox lags on my PC.

That used to happen for years. About 2 months ago Firefox began opening with a 'restored' (i.e. not maximised) window. For a few days in the last fortnight it resumed opening maximised. Now it is opening with a 'restored' window which is wider and shorter than the size used previously.

The localstore.rdf file is dated 09 May 2014.

I've been using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and had immediately installed Opera as that was the browser I was used to but I quickly noticed that my cookies would automatically be removed when I shutdown making browsing a problem, so I reverted back to Firefox but it crashes quite often and the interval between the crashing seems to be growing smaller.

Mozilla shows Fine Art America is not a secure site. I need to upload my images to this site for sale as I have been doing to 3 years with no problems. I give permissions but still it does not work. The permissions appear with a X beside them. What does this mean.

Our anti-virus program Bitdefender keeps coming up with files associated with Firefox that contain the virus Gen. Variant Adware Graftor 311830. What do I need to do to fix this? Or is this something Firefox needs to fix?

Every time I open Firefox it prompts me to restart in order to install version 49.0.2. Unfortunately, restarting it does nothing as it just prompts me once again to restart. I have tried the obvious things, such as a clean install. However despite downloading the latest version and deleting my old version, it still prompts me to restart in order to update to 49.0.2 which is weird considering I've actually downloaded version 50.0.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After following the instructions on cricut design space, i continue to get the "Update Plugin" required screen. After spending the afternoon working with cricut support, it was determined something in either FireFox or the adobe flash plugin used by FireFox was the culprit. this determination seems to be valid since design space works as expected using Chrome. I don't like Chrome and would much prefer to remain with FireFox but ......... any help would be much appreciated.

I have a .p12 certificate file that identifies me with my bank for online banking. After upgrading to FF50 the identification does not work, as the certificate has disappeared and I can not import it again. What shall I do?

Every time I open up Firefox, after a little while (sometimes less than a few minutes) I get a message about how there is a problem with an add-on or whatever. There is NO option to remove this and I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have tried attaching images but the upload image (flash I believe?) just keeps going and going and going so I have decided to post this without attachments.
