I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Firefox was hanging up. I got frustrated and I ended the session using task manager. On restart my windows came back, but the tabs were missing the page information. I ended the firefox session again, and did a restart of windows for good measure, hoping to get everything restored.

Then, when windows restarted, I restarted firefox, and I was presented two options - SAFE MODE, or REFRESH. I did SAFE MODE. Things looked ok, so I ended that session, and tried restarting again, hoping to restart normally, without SAFE MODE on. I got the same two options again - SAFE MODE or REFRESH. So, I thought REFRESH would get me back to my prior session. Nope. That reloaded a bunch of things, like bookmarks, etc. and gave me a new session.

So, I looked under the three line menu. No ability to RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION!

I also looked in my profile as found in ABOUT:SUPPORT - PROFILE FOLDER, and in my SESSIONSTORE-BACKUPS folder in my profile folder my RECOVERY.baklz4, and my RECOVERY.jsonlz4 have todays date as DATE MODIFIED, but only are 33kb each - way to small for the hundreds of tabs I had open in multiple windows - I believe.

So, do I have any other recovery session folders available that I might be able to use?

Hi...Every time I attempt to search for a bookmark by clicking "show your bookmarks" (or Ctrl/shift/b), then selecting "all bookmarks", then attempting to type something in the search box, it freezes...and just allows me to press enter, it then turns the "x" in the top right red, and gives a "Not responding" message next to Library(in the top left)..I can still click the red x to cancel the search.

I say attempting to do a search, as it only allows me to type up to 4 (is the most) letters in the search box...its often just one letter before it freezes, and the curser turns into a spinning blue circle....If i just leave it for around 8 minutes,(after pressing enter) it then lists my bookmarks with the search criteria I had used, and the "Not responding" message disappears....and the machine goes back to normal

I have tried removing all my addons and extensions, tried renaming my prefs.js file, but it still hangs and takes 8 minutes.

I havent as yet done a reinstall of Firefox without any of my personal data, or tried a refresh.

The laptop is an HP i7 16gb ram, Win 10 Pro 64bit 1909, Firefox 76.0.1...with all updates present.

On the entertainment media site Buzzfeed, clicking on a post of an embedded Twitter video gives me a blank white image. No error message like "Unable to play the file". I did a clear history, cache & cookies and refreshed Firefox. I ran the apt update for Ubunto. It had been operating smoothly in the past. If I go to Twitter, it plays. It just goes blank when I click on the video embedded in the post.

Thank you for any assistance.

Recently, when a popup window appears, the toolbar doesn't have buttons for any of my addons.

In about:config, I'd intentionally set dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar to true (following the solution provided in: question 1206512).

Previously, this was successful in ensuring that popup windows got the full toolbar, but now it has stopped working.

I'm not sure exactly which release this started with.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Set dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar to true.

2) Visit https://jeffersonscher.com/res/popit.html and follow the third link.

3) The window that pops up has no toolbar icons for the installed extensions.

Alright, I use Firefox like normal, but sometime today it stopped working, I get "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" error, I looked it up using safari, followed every possible interpretation of the instructions to no avail, I deleted the profiles folder and file, in both cache, and application support, on both my user folder and global HDD folder, no fix whatsoever, I don't know why this isn't working (yes I checked the hidden files, I searched my entire HDD and found no results for anything remotely named "Profile"/"Profiles" and I don't know what else to say.

I have checked: Application support (on every user) & Cache (on every user)

I don't know what's up, I also reinstalled Firefox after deleting everything related to it and I just don't know.

Hello!

Firefox crashes mostly when opening a new tab but also sometimes randomly when nothing special is happening. It never did it in safe mode so far. I use the default theme so no problem on this side. I tried while my extensions where disabled, it still happened (but way less often and after a while). I then tried with the hardware acceleration disabled and it also still happened (but same after a while and less).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

After Firefox update my windows 7 PC to v76, I am unable to resize the address and search bars. The address bar is too long and the search bar is too short. Can this functionality be restored?

I'm rather desperate for help. I've been a Firefox user for years, and can't figure this out.

My installation of Firefox 76.0.1 on Windows 10 crashes daily. It crashes in safe mode, my Windows is up to date, my video drivers are up to date. Before it crashes, I usually have one or more pages crash ("Gah! Your tab crashed"). After it crashes, it may or may not invoke the Mozilla crash reporter. Below are a few of the recent crash reports. Can anyone give me some guidance that might help stop the crashes?

Thanks!

I just had my OS reinstalled with Win 10 32 bit on my 64 bit system. When I try to up or download anything from the web, FFox freezes and need to exit it with End Task. Could the 332 bit win 10 be the problem?

I tried it in safe mode, same problem. 

are there some settings I can look at? I tried Chrome and no problem downloading, Hope someone can help I like FFox more then the others.

even when I go to clear cookies from a site like this one https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/ by clicking the padlock icon, and select Clear Cookies and Site data, it freezes.

I can download and Save programs top right of the screen.

When I access Logins and Passwords and try to see or copy a password Firefox always crashes. My operating is Windows 8 in Portuguese. It was working well before this last update. What can I do to solve this? I really need to see the passwords because I can't remember them all. Thanks.

I've used firefox on mac for years no issues. Today for the first time ever it asked me to enter a Firefox password to view my saved passwords in my logins.

I've never (to my knowledge) set up a firefox account before so have no idea what the password is.

Why am I getting this suddenly and how do I disable it so I can see me saved passwords?

Both Chrome and Firefox wont load google.com or any captchas. The Discord log in also requires a captcha, th is wont load either. I get the error "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" when attempting to load google.com. This does not occur on any other website. I've already tried using another profile, renaming the cert file, setting windows time and date to automatic and running malwarebytes. The problem persists.

Microsoft wants me to set

http://*.outlook.com https://*.microsoftonline.com

in trusted sites. "Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data" does not allow entering URLs. Please see my screen capture.

The following web address won't open up in my FireFox while it does on Chrome What can be the reason? The parent website that leads to this page does open up but when clicking on the link at the top right corner showing Message for Web an empty browser window open up. I cleared all cookies and cache in both Chrome and FireFox browsers.

For several weeks I have been unable to play any YouTube video, either embedded or as a direct URLlink. Firefox support articles only suggest removing all plug-ins/extensions and then adding back one-at-a-time to find the offending one but I've disabled ALL plug-ins and extensions without any effect. Using Firefox 76.0.1, but I've had the same problem with the two previous versions also. All I get in a YouTube video is a black screen with a spinning circle. The same videos play fine in Chrome (which I hate to use - I'm a committed Firefox user!). I've also turned off tracking protections for YouTube - there's simply nothing left to disable! FWIW - only using Windows Defender as security, and there is nothing in it's log either. I'd sure appreciate a solution if one exists! CHW - Omaha

Since the last couple of FF updates, all of a sudden when I'm looking at a video on a page and I scroll down the page, a smaller version of the video pops up and scrolls down the page with me. It didn't do this before. I want to completely disable this feature, since I NEVER want to see a video following me as I am scrolling down the page (though I want it to keep playing so I can hear the audio). I couldn't figure out how to block this in about:config. Please tell me there's a way to do it - preferably without an add-on!

Hello. 1st post here. I'm using Firefox on a Windows 10 machine, & try to be diligent about not downloading content from insecure sources, using Malwarebytes, not clicking on questionable links, etc

So, I was surprised to see that Firefox.exe points to Softonic.com when I looked at "Resource Monitor" inside of the Administrative Tools app.

A separate machine, also logged into the same Firefox & Windows accounts, but which only runs 32-bit Win 10, doesn't point to Softonic.com.

Is this an issue to worry about, and if so, suggested actions to fit it?

Thanks.
