I-Firefox Community Forum

I have been never been able to get any useful response to any question, (including the one just posed) from the Mozilla community. I did, by serendipity wind up in a discussion with a new (to me), manage in the process though to stumble across what appeared to be a relatively new forum, within the community that offered some hope, in that it terms of reference were specific to addressing the problem.

Hooray. . .I just accessed the the new notice regarding educated guesses. Blatantly false advertising in that none were provided, but it did appear to be connected to the forum trying to address the problem at hand.

It's a daunting challenge, requiring understanding and discussion in depth because the system itself is quintessentially non-linear, dynamic, and it's ultimate configuration. . .which includes the user interface and human operators indeterminate and un-determinable. But a great and hopeful start. I believe I indicated an interest in contributing to the discussion. How do I get to it? I'm logged in now and my email [edited email from public community support forum] is the easiest way to respond, if that it available. Thanks.

Yesterday, I installed whatever the current version is for Windows 11. At some point after that, it hung. It wouldn't close, even after doing End Task in task manager, nor shutting down the PC.

When I try to start it, it tells me "Firefox is already running, but not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

Go to task manager, but the only thing I see related to Firefox is under Details pane. Shows a PID but I can't kill it even using the taskkill command as admin:

C:\Windows\System32>taskkill /im "firefox.exe" /t /f SUCCESS: The process with PID 24344 (child process of PID 19568) has been terminated. SUCCESS: The process with PID 15724 (child process of PID 19568) has been terminated. ERROR: The process with PID 32008 (child process of PID 8260) could not be terminated. Reason: There is no running instance of the task. SUCCESS: The process with PID 19568 (child process of PID 20576) has been terminated.

The PID noted above shows a location of C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\tobedeleted, but if I try to delete it (or any other tmp files with yesterday's date), it says they're open in Firefox and won't let me.

Attempted uninstall and reinstall. Same issues as above. Firefox is now unable to be used. I have a ton of bookmarks that I haven't backed up recently by the way. I do NOT want to lose them.

That is the first line in the Hippocratic Oath. All doctors have to swear to it. All software developers should too.

I made the mistake of letting Firefox on KUbuntu update. It obliterated all my tabs and all my history. There's nothing left. I had a lot of tabs open with intent to use them to update some astronomy instructional activities. I don't know if I'll be able to find them again.

I don't really have a question except to ask: What fresh hell is this? Is it really that hard to just leave things the hell alone? I'm afraid to ever update Firefox again. If everything else wasn't based on Chromium, I'd be out of here.

Also, it looks like something out of Windows 7.

It's all gone. It's a wonder you didn't delete all my bookmarks while you were at it.

I tried to open Firefox and a message appeared: "Couldn't load XPCOM". I uninstalled the program with Revo Uninstaller Pro and downloaded the latest version. I selected Run as Administrator but there is a message that says "Windows cannot have access to the selected device, path or file. Maybe you don't have access rights". However, I do have access rights. I have checked it multiple times. How can I install Firefox and see it work properly? Thanks

Κατέβασα το Firefox Installer.exe και προσπαθώ να κάνω εγκατάσταση με το Run as Administrator διότι για κάποιον λόγο δεν με αφήνει διαφορετικά, αν και έχω δικαιώματα διαχειριστή. Μου βγάζει όμως ένα παράθυρο το 7-Zip και μου λέει "Δεν επιτρέπεται η πρόσβαση".

Dzień dobry, Napotkałem dzisiaj dziwny problem. Nie wiem od czego on zależy, ale to mało istotne, najbardziej zależy mi na przywróceniu zakładek. Już raz miałem podobny problem, ale przymknąłem na to oko i zacząłem ustawiać wszystko od nowa i machnąłem ręką na zakładki. Teraz po raz kolejny mam ten sam problem. Włączyłem laptopa (był w uśpieniu), miał już włączoną przeglądarkę i jakieś dwie karty (nic nadzwyczajnego), chciałem jeszcze coś wyszukać otworzyłem więc nową kartę, wpisałem co tam chciałem w pasku wyszukiwania i nic... ładuje się bez końca, włączam kolejną kartę i to samo po wpisaniu czegoś innego. Wróciłem na te pierwsze dwie karty otworzone już wcześniej, one działały normalnie. Więc sobie pomyślałem że jak wyłączę przeglądarkę i włączę ponownie to zadziała... Nic bardziej mylnego. Wyłączyłem, i klikam tam gdzie zawsze włączam żeby ją uruchomić. Wyskakuje błąd że skrót jest w innym miejscu czy coś takiego. Na pulpicie jest jakby plik podpisany jako Firefox ale bez ikonki (jest tylko ikona pustej kartki), na pasku zadań już ikonka była ale błąd ten sam. Wpisałem więc w pasku zadań Firefox wyskoczył mi instalator, zainstalowałem ponownie, i przeglądarka w tym momencie działa ale nie mam wcześniejszych zakładek. Zalogowałem się na konto Firefox ale przywróciło mi jakieś bardzo stare zakładki (nie te co miałem ostatnio). Proszę o pomoc w przywróceniu tych zakładek które miałem jeszcze kilka godzin temu, oraz ewentualnie o wyjaśnienie przyczyny takiego problemu.bold text

I just installed Firefox on a new Windows 11 desktop computer. I ported my profiles over and it appears everything came over EXCEPT: - Themes aren't working. I've tried switching them and they still don't display. The menu bar is black w/white letters; the toolbar is gray with white icons/letters. - My extension icons are there...sort of. If I hover over them I can see the tool tip but the icon doesn't appear on the toolbar which is light gray in color. I can live without the themes if I have to. Not so much the invisible extension icons. Any suggestions as to how I can get them to appear as they do on my Windows 10 desktop? Screen cap below. Cursor is hovered over the Undo Close Tab extension icon but where's the icon? Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this will be appreciated!!

After last update Firefox ESR 115.23.0 the menu on the website: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/homeis not displayed correctly. Could you fix this? Second question - can you disable reCAPTCHA when logging in to this site?

Fx 124.0

Why am I getting these notifications? I have the latest version, but this prompt not only asks me to update, but there's no mention that it will install the beta 125.0 beta 1

I have an older piece of equipment that I need to communicate with it and the 232 interface will only work through Firefox. I was told I can downgrade the current version to 3.0, which is what I need, but I cannot find out how. HELP

Hi,

I seem to be having a really odd issue where each time I restart Firefox, recent addons I've installed will not function or appear in the Add-On drop down menu (despite being meant to appear in such), despite being enabled and still being shown as such when I check settings. They only become visible and functional when I disable and re-enable them.

I've just discovered the same thing seems to happen in reverse too. I recently disabled ClearURLs due to a bug it was causing in Google Drive, yet it appeared in my Add-On drop down menu after restarting. Checking settings showed it to still be 'disabled'.

Things I've tried:

• Restarting both Firefox and PC.
• Uninstalling and reinstalling the effected Add-ons
• Deleting my extension*, compatability.ini and prefs.js files - erasing all my add-on settings yet still not helping. This is the main thing I've suggested on forums like this with similar questions, but has not helped.

It seems to only be effecting the most recent set of add-ons I installed over the last week, as if Firefox keeps trying to work with the Add-on settings I had at a previous date. I've seemingly had some cases where the extensions disable or are uninstalled entirely but I'm not sure this is related, as I think it only happened once.

I suspect it's not to do with the new extensions themselves, given it's effecting all the most recent ones, but I'll list the ones I've seen it effecting here regardless:

ClearURLS (not recently installed, but as mentioned showing similar reverse effects) Undo Close Tab YouTube NonStop Privacy Badger History AutoDelete Don't Accept Image/Webp Decentraleyes Xkit Rewritten Disconnect AI Grammar Checker & Paraphraser - LanguageTool &udm=14

As you can see I recently installed quite a few anti-tracker type extensions which probably overlap in function, mainly just to test them out, so it could be connected to them I guess... but seems unlikely.

Thanks, Matt

I placed an order for s coat from Amazon, paid for it and now the are saying I need to prove it's me. I ordered from a different bank card and they still say they can't process my coat. I have been trying to order this coat for a week and I have given all my info to them buy they want me to send a copy of my bank statement and the last four numbers of my card. I'm not sure how to do that but I took pictures but I don't know where they went. I don't know if Amazon received them or not. ALL I WANT IS TO BUY A COAT. I don't know what else to do. Can you tell me if Amazon received them? Please help! This is a birthday present from my 94 year old mom. If they can't take my word that I am Constance Holland the one who ordered the coat there's nothing more I can do but buy one from another store. Please let me know what's going on. Thank you!
