I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello Community,

I have a bunch of dumb terminals that connect to some Windows 10 virtual desktops. Upon login, Firefox is started automatically in kiosk mode via a customised shortcut placed in all users' Startup folder.

The problem is that if Firefox crashes, at the next logon it shows a blank dark violet screen and it never gets to load the home page.

I noticed that if I kill it from Task Manager and I re-launch it from the Start menu in normal mode (not Kiosk), then I am presented with the Restore Session tab - see attached screenshot.

Clicking any of the options (restore or start new), just to make Firefox open, then closing it gracefully from the top-right X makes the autostart in kiosk mode work as expected.

I speculate that Firefox just lacks the smarts to "known" that in kiosk mode it is restricted from displaying the dialog, thus no user input will arrive ever.

I am not interested in any previous sessions, I just want Firefox to ignore the previous crash and open the home page.

I saw that various sources suggest fiddling with the user profile via about:config. This is NOT an option because in VDI I do not save users' profiles, and it should apply to any and all users, regardless which virtual desktop they log into.

Is there a way to achieve this using Group Policy?

Thank you.

Hi, sometime yesterday or the day before I started noticing that Firefox would hang any time I saved an image to my harddrive. The "hang" lasts 4-6 seconds or so and during that time Firefox is completely unresponsive. You cannot scroll a page, switch to another tab, etc. It does not matter what page/website you attempt to save an image from. They are all experiencing the same hanging delay. I have tried both restarting Firefox and restarting my PC. Neither seems to alleviate this issue. Not sure how to proceed from here.

I open a website (opentable.com) and it opens momentarily then the screen goes blank white. I can open the site using microsoft edge.

Something has changed as this previously was not a problem

Please my firefox appears to have crashed, or is not working how can i fix it. As i try to open firefox document a dialogue box appears saying that either the firefox is not designed to run or that i should reinstall firefox

Hello, My Antivirus sofware (GData Internet security) showed the attached message (in German) two times today. It says in English something like:

It was tried to access an infected archive

Virus: Trojan.GenericKD.71195125 (Engine A) File: 0B3C6E11DBBC160A3AAFC100C8BAB878F5EE0C Directory: C:\Users\re-ge\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firef Process: firefox.exe

The line ending with "Firef" may indicate that lines are truncated.

Any suggestion what to do ? Reinhard

Somehow my bookmarks have become corrupted. When I follow the instructions in how to restore old bookmarks, only 5 days show up...and that's when the problem began. So now I cannot find any of my valuable bookmarks. Any ideas why I cannot see more "history"?

My computer messed up today and i had to recover it, but i didnt get to save my bookmarks. I've had a mozilla account since 5/2/2024 (i think, thats at least what it says was the date i made my password) and i've saved a lot of bookmarks i cannot lose.

i forgot what email i had made it with tho, so i created a couple of new mozilla accounts and idk if that has messed up the profiles i'm using? i read the mozilla guide on bookmarks and i have like 3 profiles under "profile:default-release" (my settings are in danish, idk if that's what its called in english). but i cant tell which one it is? furthermore, when i click on "manage bookmarks" i get to this place that says something about bookmarks saved on html or something - which i know i havent done.

oh also, before any of that, the first thing i did was synchronize my google chrome bookmarks with firefox and idk if that has messed something up?

I've cleared cache, history, passwords, updated to latest and still:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.lowes.com/u/login" on this server.

Reference #18.ac912f17.1661036425.aac8bd6f

Works on Safari and Chrome.

If I visit foxnews.com, it won't load but I can view all other major news sites. There are no messages of any sort, the browser just "spins" as if it's loading, but stays blank.

I've cleared the cache, restarted, to no avail. I am not running any VPN's nor add blockers, but the problem still persists. I am running 102.6.0esr on Linux.

Hi

Whenever i load any site page in Firefox it's take too much time to load. While this problem is not occur in any other browser. My website speed is good and site working properly but have confolict with microsoft edge. Kindly check my site https://ourlime.rocks/

This new update, every tab is closed! Annoyed is an understatement. This has never happened before. Really really annoyed to the point of changing browsers after using this for years now.

I have two end users that are having a different issues but they are of similar nature. First user can not upload anything to Microsoft Share point. She gets a message that says she does not have proper permissions to upload. She does not have the same issue on Chrome or Edge. The second user is trying to download and or save a file from a couple of different websites but regardless on where she tries to save it on her computer it says she does not have proper permissions to save to "x" file location. She also does not have this issue when she is on Chrome or Edge.

For both users I have tried clearing cache and cookies, Rebooting their computers, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, deleting registry keys/user data from the computer itself. I have had no luck with resolving this issue and I can not find anything online that remotely resembles this issue.

Thank you and please advise

Since Firefox's newest update, I can no longer use Twitter to retweet with a quote. I can click on it, bring up the tweet, and I can add to it with my response, but I can't scroll down to where it actually says "Tweet". The scroll bar is absolutely "dead". It will not move. Nor can I click on the down arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar; that doesn't work, either. There's absolutely no way to get down to where I need to go to retweet. I have tried to replicate this using both the Edge and Chrome browsers, but they work fine. It's only Firefox that seems to have this problem. I've tried emptying history, clear cache & cookies - both in Twitter and on my entire computer, from the Firefox browser. Nothing works. It must be some kind of glitch that came with the new update. Please fix it! I've used Firefox as my main browser for several years now, but with all the glitches that are coming with new updates, including the "slow as molasses" page loading (again, ONLY in Firefox, NOT in other browsers) I'm having to use Edge and Chrome more and more. Eventually I suspect I won't be able to use Firefox at all if they don't fix this stuff.
