I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

I need a: archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

WHY?: I use the "Firefox program" itself, as a "High Level Logic Function" (i.e. a TOOL!).

THIS IS HOW: I may be researching up to 50/100, subjects/topics/interests, concurrently!

I use one Firefox window per subject. Each of the "Subject Windows", may contain 20 to 50 tabs, that are relevant to the subject being queried, until subject has been answered/resolved/placated.

PROGRAM DESIGN (software specification ... chortle!):

1) Each archived "window of tabs", would l can given A subject name, and appear in a list archived windows, to be restored, deleted, update/changed (with tab changes), shared with collages, coworker, even sent in a email!!

2) Your "History" function already has a last closed windows, last closed tabs, SO IT SHOULD NOT TAKE GREAT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EFFORT ...

3) "Buckle your shoe ..."

PERKS: Besides may my insignificant needs, a "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function", would let foxfire execute normally, with out bogging the whole Microsoft operation system down to a crawl, or "go catatonic"!

Of course, this not fault of Firefox! Fox example, I just installed "Windows 11 Pro". When I looked under the hood, I found that NONE of the window error reporting systems could log data, because, the "Windows 11 Pro" operating system, is unable the find "C:\",the only drive in my laptop.

Left hand ... Right hand ... the list of atrocities when on! I just had a new desktop folder, "Microsoft's Hospital for the Criminally INSANE", and dump'd the "bad news" there.

Some other related, Firefox execution problems:

WHEN I HAVE 20ish windows open, with 1, 10, 20, tabs per window, the system crashes, like clock work!!

Further I constantly it the "Firefox  ---- is not responding" frozen window announcement!

Concurrently, everything is also semi-frozen too.

I summary, PLEASE made the "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function" a reality!!!

If you will, I will come up with a name for the function, that intuitive, yet is catchy, that it will shine like a small jewel in the Firefox panoply ...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,

P.S I want NOTHING for the idea, only the joy on using it! Later tonight, I will be installing a new printer with it's device drivers, and application programs.

AT WITCH POINT, WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FIREFOX,

 AND LOOSE 25 PLUS OPEN "FIREFOX WINDOWS",  
WITH 100'S OF  RESEARCH DATUM TABS!!!
ABOUT 6,TO 8  MONTHS OF WORK ..

And yeah, there have always been the bookmark systems, going back to the "Hyper Links" in DOS (which sooner, or later, GRENADE'D the hard drive).

Bookmarks are for warehouse, basement archive,

But the: "Firefox data amphitheater";

             "Firefox data auditorium"; 

              archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

            "FIREFOX WINDOWS""Subject Windows" ...
           What ever you name it
           It is the easiest, direct way of researching multiple subjects, concurrently, and in your face instantly ..

he method for updating manual proxy settings is new to me, admittedly, but with even a tiny bit of research it seems super accessible and straightforward. I am a Ipvanish user who is a little disenchanted with their extension on Firefox, and simply want to use a manual proxy to browse instead.

When updating my proxy settings, I do what every YouTube or WikiHow article would tell you, and I search for the best available Ipvanish server for my region, copy the link directly, apply it to the manual proxy setting, set all proxies to this same link, and set the port to 80.

However, instead of prompting me for a login/password after closing and reopening the browser, every single page instead goes through a connection timeout and ultimately fails to load altogether.

Has anyone else experienced this and discovered a fix? Or can you perhaps guide me through a mistake I am making, perhaps in my process or a setting which I overlooked?

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

Hi, all just a question. The account is supposed to very very old. But since i logged in nothing has been there. I am taking nothing. So you help that be great. Thanks.

I've had horrible programs with Telegram all day after I had to do a restore system recovery. Now I can't sign back in. I'm trying to uninstall & reinstall this, but it's telling me with an error message in my programs & features that it doesn't exist even though it's listed there. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you in advance.

I've been using firefox desktop pretty much since its inception. Despite numerous updates, for well over a year it has been auto scrolling when on facebook and I have tried every fix it to no avail (I'm highly computer literate and to me, this is now nuts). Note. My android mobile has never done it. I am at the end of my tether and am now looking at moving to another browser due to the frustration. I've gone through all the forums and note there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people with the same problem. Why can you not fix this and is there a fix? I don't want to, but I will move to another browser if I cannot get a satisfactory answer. Regards, Paul Mack. [email removed from public]

Goodd day from UK I run firefox esr 115.9.1 and find the the F5 refresh key does NOT refresh the images. The same applies when using the "reload" icon in the menu.

Reading other posts, nothing seems to apply here.

There are NO add-ons at all and everything is cleared on close. The text DOES seem to change.

As a web developer checking updates this is extremely annoying as only hope is keep closing the browser (to clear everything) and restart - the loads new images etc.

I use several versions of Firefox (2, 20, 56) to ensure compatability with olf browsers and it seems to be only those over 100 with this issue.

Does anyone know if this is a "feature" or a"bug" and is there any simple (!) way around the issue?

Thanks

p.s. ALWAYS happens, not intermittently

I just need a way to rearrange tool bars, and in particular, move the address bar to the bottom.

I am using: Name Firefox Version 91.8.0esr Build ID 20220330151638 Distribution ID User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0 OS Linux 5.10.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.106-1 (2022-03-17) Debian 11 with Xfce 4.16

Problem: different areas of the same domain requires unique passwords. eg example.com/admin1/ user: name example.com/admin2/ user: name

The user name is the same for both, are fixed and cannot be changed.

When I log in to admin1/ but then need to log in to admin2/ Firefox thinks I am updating my password used in admin1/ .

I have read question 1280159 (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1280159) which only partially solves it IF the user name can be modified.

How can i solved this without accidentally losing my password/s ?

My application www.myfloorschedule.com has always worked well with Firefox. Beginning last month users report that they are being taken back to the home page while trying to work in the application. This occurs intermittently. Internally, our code does returns you to the home page when the session variable is null. I am able to replicate this problem. It occurs all the time when I turn on strict privacy. But with strict privacy off, it still occurs, although not on every page, all the time.

I suspect Firefox because testing with Chrome and Edge give no similar problem.

Thanks for any ideas on this. Terence

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?

Dear Team, I am always facing problems when opening driverpracticaltest.dvsa.gov.uk link. the problem is with both windows and android. whenever I try to open the link it always shows error from website that they have blocked the website for security reasons. I have disable all the add-ons for this website but still get this error every time. Sometime if i do not get error it redirect me to the CAPTCHA verification but CAPTCHA never loads. no matter how many times we reload the website. I have to switch Edge just to open this website. please do something about it. Thank you

I just restarted my computer with a Firefox update, and upon rebooting AVG caught the Firefox updater trying to connect to a Card Stealer URL. Please see attached screenshot.

Hi, good day/evening you all. Hey with a temporary disability I have a real need to limit my mousing and would love to see a feature request I could give a thumbs up on -- for the 3 line menu at the top right being accessible via keyboard. (Also at least some of the choices on it such as History via a hotkey -- after I have the main menu open. By the way I know about pressing Alt, then any of the hotkeys on the old school hidden menu bar -- I'm instead talking about the new always visible hamburger menu icon.)

Where would I search to see if there's been any discussion or progress on that? Bugzilla?

Sorry I'm new to this type of questioning. Any tips would be greatly appreciated and my body would appreciate it too! :-)
