Using remote debugging in Firefox 68 (Android 7 device and Windows 10 desktop). I can connect, inspect, debug, etc., no problem. However, Local Storage reports 'No data present for selected host'. But there is data (as confirmed in Chrome), it just does not show anything in Firefox.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I posted this question on StackOverflow over a month ago and received no replies.
I-Firefox
Although it opens on my phone, iambooksboston.com doesn't open on my computer. What can I do?
All I get on my computer is a blank screen. Please help.

When trying to launch a game via Steam or the Newgrounds Player, Firefox fails to understand/open the external protocol for the program. And when trying to launch Roblox, the site thinks it isn't installed, and pressing "Play" after installing prompts nothing. I have tried all 3 with safe mode, with refreshed firefox, and even a reinstall..
If any more info is needed, I can add more.

No tabs will open except the support or the three lines. 45 tabs open and none accessible. DO I just have to change to Safari and erase everything made by mozilla? What is the other name for the three lines? Do we really need the three lines, @ is easier to refer to, or * or £ or a thousand other characters all unused on all our keyboards. How should I create the three lines symbol? Has this been chosen so that no one can even talk about the three lines in a similar way that androod has the wank symbol for non-gay access to the root directory?

This issue started after running the latest batch of Windows updates a few weeks ago. When I load my browser, my homepage (google) fails to load as the TLS handshake takes forever. After it times out in about 5-10 seconds, I can go to any website without any lag or delays. The TLS issue NEVER happens again. It only happens when I first load the browser.
Deleting my profile did nothing. Reinstalling firefox did nothing. Chrome works completely fine with no lag.
I'm kind of stumped what could be causing this.

After update 70 for Windows, some of my webpages are breaking randomly, causing me to close and open them in new tabs. The tab where the incident occurs becomes unusable even for different websites. This most frequently happens on Google related websites (Gmail and Sheets) but overall affects all my tabs. This never happened before the version 70.0 update. I don't believe they tax my system and crash that way, so I'm unsure what the cause is.
Why are stored passwords not used after profile transfer from PC a to PC b

Hello,
I have FF 68.2.0ESR 32bit on Win7. I now want to move to a different machine, using Linux (RHEL8) with FF 68.1.0 ESR 64Bit. I transferred the profile from the Windows machine to the Linux machine and everything came over perfectly. But the passwords are not offered after selecting a login. Example: There is a page with "login" and "password". I have two accounts for this page. I click into "login" and both login-names are offered by firefox. I select one account. Now I'd expect that the password is filled automatically. But it isn't. Even if I click also into the "password" field. The same with pages where I have only one account.
I found some threads where key3.db is mentioned. I searched in my profile folder and didn't find a key3.db but a key4.db. I created a copy of key4.db and named it key3.db. No success. The permissions of the files where 600 (rw-------). Ich changed them to 644. -> No success.
What might be missing here?

Why are my IcedTea and Flash plugins INVALID in pluginreg.dat?

Oracle Linux 7, FF 68.2 ESR, recent update to Flash 32.0.0.293, I check in Addons that newest Flash is there (had issues a few weeks ago where I had to remove pluginreg.dat as 32.0.0.270 wouldn't get noticed and FF thought it was 32.0.0.255 still, complaining I had an out-of-date version), and surprise - both Flash and IcedTea aren't there.
So I confidently close FF, remove pluginreg.dat, fire FF up again - but no dice.
Check contents of pluginreg.dat, and here they are:
Generated File. Do not edit. [HEADER] Version:0.19t:$ Arch:x86_64-gcc3:$ [PLUGINS] [INVALID] /usr/lib64/IcedTeaPlugin.so:$ 1564598268000:$ /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so:$ 1572453153000:$
Funny, so I try downgrading Flash via YUM, which can't be done as Adobe promptly removes old versions from its repos. OK, so I just YUM erase Flash, only to achieve an INVALID IcedTea plugin. What?
Did I perhaps use FF 68.2 for 2 weeks without noticing the issue? Well if that's the case a downgrade to 68.1 will fix things, right? So I re-add via YUM the latest Flash plugin, but alas 68.1 still thinks that and IcedTea are INVALID.
Mumble. Well let me get the big hammer and further downgrade to FF 60.9, remove pluginreg.dat, fire FF up again and... oh. Still INVALID. Now I'm 100% sure there's something weird - but what is it?
Long story short, even creating an entirely new UNIX user and firing up FF which obviously created a new profile from scratch, it gets the same pluginreg.dat right off the bat with Flash and IcedTea plugins marked as INVALID.
So, what are the further debugging steps here as I guess I'm out of options?

There are several posts on this site regarding uninstalling Firefox. I am running current Firefox on current W10 64bit 1903 desktop PC using Ethernet with Spectrum as my ISP. I am having a couple of problems in Firefox that are not happening in current Chrome. 1. Page-not-found 2-8 times a day that resolve every time by simply clicking the "retry" (or something close to that) button. I reset my router to "factory" and installed most current router firmware but that did not help. Netgear Support has been unable to help. 2. In current LastPass addon, I have to re-login to LastPass every time I start Firefox - did not used to do that (a year ago), and in Chrome or Edge that does not happen. I have re-installed the LastPass add-on. I have upgraded Firefox many times and have cleared history/cache many times. So now I want to COMPLETELY remove Firefox, reboot, and then install Firefox from scratch. Can someone please point me to the web page that tells me how to properly remove all of Firefox so that I can re-download/install it from the beginning? I do not care about retaining my Firefox settings or other from my current Firefox install.

I lived through the days of Mozilla will no longer work with the extensions i loved and used. BAM just overnight F me. No one cared I wanted to use them, they were just gone. Now I wake up this morning, reboot my computer and Firefox is acting weird and half the open windows have no bookmarks and no passwords and my recovered Firefox windows do. So I go to save my bookmarks, so i don't loose them. Done. I go to export my passwords, F ME. My ONLY apparent option is to use my Mozilla online Firefox account to allow them to be synced across my devices. I DON'T WANT THAT. Did anyone ask me if sharing my saved passwords with Firefox was a good idea? NOPE. Did anyone care what I thought? NOPE. Did I get a warning, nope. just BAM, you are F'd. Now instead of working on HUGELY pressing matters I am having to deal with this BS! I am REALLY starting to hate Firefox! Not just mad at, or unhappy with, but really F'n HATE it.
I bet some smart guy is gonna tell me i should have read the update notes.... Yep, I got time for that. So Yes you are right I brought this on myself for not reading the update notes.., but Geesus, really? I just don't have time to read every EULA, UPDATE NOTE, BUG FIX REPORT or all the other crap that everyone and their brother who is a lawyer wrote, so I could not have any clue what I am reading anyway. HUGE changes and you can't give a guy a solid warning? Seriously next time just warn a guy that you are about to take away his bookmarks and passwords unless he saves them first. F**K ME!!!!!

I have noticed a bug that only happens on Firefox when visiting blogs on Tumblr that use the unified controls for like, reblog, and other functions. Normally, these buttons appear in the top right corner of the screen, contained in an iframe tag with the name attribute "unified-controls", but this iframe tag fails to load entirely in Firefox, as it does not appear in the element inspector. No related messages appear in the console as a result. Attached is a side by side screenshot of the same blog in Firefox and Microsoft Edge with the same page open and the element inspector showing the HTML code. No changes occur from disabling any addons or running in Safe Mode.

http://Flashgames/somegame.swf works
file:///www/Flashgames/somegame.swf turns Firefox into a tab forking bomb.
I have deleted the handlers.json file in the profle, but that only causes Firefox to ask with what EXTERNAL application this file should be opened (it does not play the file within the browser).
There is no application associated with *.swf files on the OS level.

I noticed that the secure URL padlock icon is now grey instead of green. This is intuitively wrong: it makes me think it's not really secure, so I found on another forum the about: config setting for this and changed it back to green. I have about 20 FF profiles across several devices, and these all share a common user.js file which I edit in a Dropbox folder and copy to all the profiles. I placed this setting into the common user.js file:
user_pref("security.secure_connection_icon_color_gray", false);
But it doesn't work. Do I have the syntax wrong, or is there another setting for this?
Firefox crashes on webpage opening in New Tab since 69.0.0, random occurence, does not generate crash reports.

Hello,
Finally decided to make a topic about it as all of my attempts in the past few months to fix it have been in vain. Starting from Firefox 69.0 or even perhaps in 68.0, I cannot exactly remember, Firefox started to randomly crash when I opened a New Tab and tried either Googling or opening a webpage through the address bar. This crash does not create any crash reports, going to "about:crashes" does not reveal anything, neither are any crash reports stored locally.
I have tried running Firefox in safe mode, without extensions, deleting my cache files from APPDATA/Local, deleting my profile files from APPDATA/Roaming and a lot of other stuff I honestly cannot remember anymore, but nothing has helped. I even tried downgrading to 68.0, but I received some kind of big warning message and did not want to proceed.
The issue itself in essence is a full freeze, which sometimes takes a second until firefox crashes, but sometimes takes 15 seconds. During that time the only thing I can see in Task Manager is that Firefox has a "Very High" power usage, which is bizarre, since I am not even running it on a notebook (i7-9700K factory clock, RTX 2080S, 16GB DDR4 RAM). As said, it never produces a crash report, so I have been reluctant in reporting it in the past. And since it is random and can take many hours to occur (or can occur first thing after I turn on PC and open Firefox), it is basically impossible for me to record a video about it.
(While writing this, I went to look something in a new tab, tried opening my Gmail account and the crash occurred. Added a task manager screenshot about what I meant by power usage. Fortunately it allowed me to restore the session and I did not have to re-type the entire text)
From what I can gather, the issue started to happen around the time I switched over from GTX 1070 to RTX 2080 SUPER GPU. But I cannot really imagine how a GPU upgrade could influence Firefox stability. Even less so since the same Firefox issue has persevered through multiple GPU driver updates.
Hope you guys have some suggestions what to try here. Perhaps some changes in about:config that could help me out here?
Thanks in advance, Rasmus

I enabled Sync on my new laptop and synced it with FF on my desktop computer. I selected all six of the features to sync, including History. But the history will not sync. Only the bookmarks and open tabs are syncing. I noticed that when I hit the "Sync now" button, it says "Syncing tabs...". Has this changed? I'm sure it used to say "Syncing..." without the word Tabs on my old laptop, where history was syncing properly. Is there a new setting I have missed?
