Since a Firefox update a week or so ago, both my Window 10 laptop and window 7 desktop, who have synch'd bookmarks, show a multiplicity of repetitive entries that I did not bookmark, some are only websites that I visited but did not bookmark, others are sites that I bookmarked once, but are now repeated many times in the toolbar. How do I clear this and avoid the problem? Is it a setting issue? I made a printscreen, but cannot upload it as an image. Please send me an answer at adesouches@sbcglobal.net

I shut down Firefox last night and all was fine. I booted it up this morning and I had been logged out of all websites. This has happened once or twice in the past, but rarely. I did NOT clear the cookies, so please don't suggest that that is the issue. Any idea why this happens and how I can avoid it in the future? Thanks.
Firefox has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired.

OK so since I wasn't able to find a solution here and wanted to share the solution I found since so many folks seem to be having this issue despite so many of them being 'resolved' and 'archived' with non satisfactory solution, let me share what I found. This applies for those who have already tried these steps:
- If you can access the site that gives you this error in Firefox but no issues in another browser; - If you've cleared the cache and you still get the error; - If you've deleted all cookies and still get the error; - If you've tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode to temporarily disable your addons and still get the error,
Try this: - in the address bar type "about:serviceworkers"; a whole list of these hidden code/cookie snippets should appear in the page. I was shocked by the shear amount of them and their privacy implications >:-( - click "unregister" to remove them one by one - restart your browser.
After restarting, the problem disappeared. In my case, a corrupted 'serviceworker' was preventing me from accessing gmail.
Upon further reading, one learns that it's some kind of cache and that it helps accessing websites. Also, that it gets rebuilt as required. Finally, that this 'feature' can be disabled by turning the about:config value dom.serviceWorkers.enabled to false.
Hope this helps someone, and sorry if the formatting looks awful, I have no idea why my bulleted list doesn't show as it does in the editor.

This is not the first time either!
My bookmarks are gone, my previous session is gone and I cant remember the pages I had open, my search engine that I want to add, and have always had, doesnt come up on their pages except as a theme, which I dont want... I am really really pissed that this keeps happening
I need all my stuff for my work and I have no idea what I had and its all gone...Likely 200 bookmarks for one thing and about 20 tabs
WTF! I need some help here to restore EVERYTHING I had. It was bad enough with this other add on nonsense and now this?

As stated above, in win10 Firefox constantly freezes up. Sometimes closing and opening resolve for a while, other times not. Tried all the fixes, none worked. The freezing was more sporadic prior to the latest win10 update, much worse since. I have a win7 machine that never has problems. Both use Norton, both have same settings for browser and Norton security. Only difference is win10 vs win7. Hardware-wise the win10 machine has more resources, double the ram and an ssd, win7 machine less ram and hdd. The win10 machine should be better not worse.
What's the fix?

In short: when I try to change my master password, I get "Unable to change Master Password." error. When I try to remove it, nothing happens.
I've tried numerous "fixes" already, alas none solved the issue. I suspect the logins.json is corrupted in some way or it might contain lines that bug Firefox out somehow. At this point I am only trying to figure out a way to export my passwords and import them back again to Firefox.
Do let me know if you can think of any reliable way to do so as I am all out of ideas. Yes I am aware that I could just manually enter everything again but I'd rather not do that with hundreds if not thousands of websites.
Basic things I tried so far: 1. Reinstalling Firefox.
2. Clearing cache and removing cookies.
3. Disabling plugins and addons.
4. Removing/renaming specific files in the profile folder like pkcs11.txt that was mentioned as a solution for similar issues.
5. Trying safe mode.
6. Creating a new profile and copying over just the aforementioned two files (fresh profile works like a charm but the password files bug Firefox out).
7. Using old key4.db, as I have some backups.
8. Usual malware, virus, windows integrity checks and basic troubleshooting was all done.

With this latest update (this also happened with the previous update with Firefox 68), Firefox 69 (Quantum) refuses to load facebook games. The only thing that displays is a black screen and it just hangs. Does anyone have a fix for this?
This problem happened when Firefox 68 (Quantum) was released as well. It was eventually fixed but this is irritating that Firefox updates are rolled out with bugs and glitches included. I'm just looking for a fix as I had to remove FF 69 and install a previous version.

Please restore Cairo as a rendering backend for Firefox. As you can see from the following screenshots, text renders much better with it than without it, even with MacType installed and running. The first screenshot shows a web page in IceDragon, which still has Cairo. The second shows the same page in Firefox 69, which doesn't. The difference should be quite obvious.

Odd, not the first time it happened, but it cleared itself up last time. This started happening after the last update. I cleared the cache, cookies, etc. Deleted and updated Flash Player. Couldn't see a place to uninstall the game itself. WWF starts with the game flash, circling the logo, but keeps circling and never starts. I've tried to wait it out this time and it hasn't started working.
It works in Opera, Chrome and Edge. Thanks!

I opened up around 50 tabs in a single firefox Private Window on Linux and all was good and fast, I then opened another URL in a new tab, which asked me to Stop or Wait for unresponsive script running, where I chose to Stop. Then it started behaving abnormally; I was only able to do the following:
1 scroll on the tab using either middle mouse button or [Up] [Down] key on keyboard jfie 2 right click the tab content to open up right-click menu, 3 hover over the icons and change their background color like Homepage, Refresh, Page Actions, Show sidebars, as well as display their lables;
but I was not able to $ trigger the proper response from above buttons, or $ switch to another tab $ close or create any tab
I noticed in journalctl logs around the time frame this happend, which showed the following:
<date> <hour>:<minute>:30 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Activating service name='org.gnome.gedit' requested by ':1.7' (uid=1000 pid=1249 comm="firefox ") <date> <hour>:<minute>:33 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.gedit' <date> <hour>:<minute>:33 <hostname> org.gnome.gedit[744]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused <date> <hour>:<minute>:33 <hostname> gedit[30517]: cannot open display: <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Activating service name='org.gnome.gedit' requested by ':1.7' (uid=1000 pid=1249 comm="firefox ") <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.gedit' <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> org.gnome.gedit[744]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> unknown[30517]: cannot open display: <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Activating service name='org.gnome.gedit' requested by ':1.7' (uid=1000 pid=1249 comm="firefox ") <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.gedit' <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> org.gnome.gedit[744]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> gedit[30517]: cannot open display
NOTE that I did not open any gedit intentionally during that time window. So far, I have not closed the unresponsive window, in hope that I would be able to restore those tabs. But I am not sure where to start. The $HOME/.mozilla/firefox director is about 100MB.
Could anyone help? I am willing to provide any more information and I am willing to invest my time on this.
