I-Firefox Community Forum

I had a dedicated Firefox webpage popup yesterday that listed all my open tabs, tab history. I closed it before I noted the address and how I got there. I searched through my browsing history and I don't see it. I have never been able to access that page before. How do I bring it up again?

Thanks!

Hello, Does anyone else experiencing random firefox crashes ? It shuts off with no erros at random points. It started happening after recent update, where mozilla decided to remove the option that allowed to hide "list all tabs" which is moronic.. I updated my drivers to the latest. Today i decided to remove all my profiles with all data, created new profile, imported bookmarks, passwords. And its still crashing.. Report ID: bp-cc28903b-3d2b-40bf-b39d-46a6e0241011

There are three accounts I have to use regularly to pay bills.

On one of them (PG&E), FF is useless. Can't even log in.

On the two others, banners come up that say FF is unsupported. Both still usable for the moment, But the future....

I fear FF is going to become unusable/irrelevant in my work-flow in the near-term future if the trend in my skewed sample continues.

When visiting Springer's websites (and others), I cannot select any text using Firefox (but I can with Chrome). I cannot find the setting to modify to enable this ability (text selection).

I set: SmartBlock OFF (false) Proxy OFF

Hi team,

I am a researcher and trying to collect data from crash-stats.mozilla.org for my research. However, I got 403 Forbidden for several days. Can you help me to resolve this? Thank you in advance.

Hello everybody, I am using Firefox/Zen Browser in Linux and having an issue which bothers me a lot.

I am using Firefox for PDF viewing and was not having this issue in Windows. I don't know why, Firefox changes locations of PDF every time with something temporary rather than it's original place and it makes impossible to see them without reopening it via clicking. Is there any possible solution for it? I am having this issue both in Firefox and Zen.

Hi there, since yesterday I'm dealing with numerous functionality issues when I use Mozilla Firefox on my laptop. I've noticed that the last update was on 29/10/2024, so that could be the problem. The problem is that when I browse the tabs are crashing and that happens almost every time I browse after a few minutes (sometimes seconds) and it happens with many different web sites. Since mozilla is the browser that I use most this is making my life real difficult. Thank you in advance, Sotiris

I have been using container tabs to juggle my corporate and personal github accounts. Until very recently, clicking a link from another app (email, etc) would start to open a new tab and then pop up a dialog asking me to confirm which container to use (see first attachment).

Unfortunately, now when I click on links it just loads straight to my "OSS github" container, which naturally produces a 404 error because my personal github account doesn't have access to the corporate repo (see second attachment).

At first, I thought I had accidentally clicked the "remember my decision" box. But the confirmation dialog still works if I open a new tab and paste the link in the address bar. It just doesn't work when other apps try to open a link in Firefox.

Is the new behavior intentional? Or did something accidentally break?

Hi,\

Over the past week or so, my homepage refreshes intermittently and all of the time when I close tab. When I am on my homepage to read (MSN), I typically use the right click command to open the links in a new tab so I can keep the article in the homepage there. Every time I close the news tabs, the homepage refreshes. If I am just sitting on the homepage for few minutes, it auto-refreshes.

This does not happen on Edge or Chromium and I have been back to Firefox because I want more control over not having AI functions and Chromium still has serious limitations. But this is annoying. I have tried changing as many of the relevant settings in about:config that I could find to no avail. My PC an All-in-One 6 core Ryzen 7 with 16GB of RAM, which is far more than enough to handle the memory hog Firefox is (sometimes it eats nearly 2 gigs).

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tom

I have just installed "Opera" browser which I thought would allow me to install an App called "Marine Traffic" onto my computer. It seemed to make changes to my default browser which is Firefox, so I re-installed Firefox. Now when I click on Firefox it comes up with a search bar but it is not the usual search bar but a largely blank screen with just a search bar in the middle. It does come up with an option at the top for another search session and when I click on that it is the normal Firefox browser screen. Can I get rid of this first strange blank screen with search bar? Mark

Hello! Everything was fine until I briefly used a VPN extension for maximum 10 minutes (it's UrbanVPN), and when I returned to the tab with the youtube video on it, it had no sound (I've used this particular extention plenty of times, it's the first time this has happened, also I don't know if it has anything to do with the extension, I just thought I should mention it). Laptop is fine, all sound everywhere else works perfectly, except from any video played from the mozilla browser. I took some advice from online: I restarted the computer, I selected troubleshooting, I typed about:profiles and selected 'Restart normally', nothing has worked so far. The only thing I haven't done yet is disabling graphics hardware acceleration, an advice from mozilla support for a similar problem a person had 6 years ago (no sound on youtube), but I can't find where that is, maybe because I have the latest mozilla version. Could you help me?

I have been using two Firefox browser windows a lot recently. Suddenly the response time to a request to open new window went from immediate to 20 seconds. Initially that meant I hit the "new window" button 10 times to get any response which meant browsing was interrupted for the next 5 minutes by the appearance of yet more new windows at 20 second intervals! Has anyone any idea about what has happened?

I met the same issue with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27514404/web-worker-blocked-by-main-thread-in-chrome . It was asked 10 years ago and I learnt that it was fixed in chrome via https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40398809 . Is it a bug for firefox? Is there any way to work around? Thanks.
