I-Firefox Community Forum

I've noticed since I've switched to chrome that my pc won't go to sleep at all when any type of firefox tab is open. I've run the command prompt to confirm that it is only firefox which is preventing my pc from sleeping and I also haven't downloaded anything new since switching over. I've seen that sometimes media tabs cause this however even if only the google home page is open it still prevents sleep. This is incredibly frustrating as before I could leave my pc whenever and it would auto sleep and now sometimes it'll run all night. What can I do to fix this. As far as I know there is nothing in the firefox settings page to fix this.

For a project of mine, I had been researching the T84, but hours later, it turned into a google search tab, I can't press the back arrow to go back either. I don't know if my Firefox is corrupted or not, but if it is, how do I fix it?

My Firefox started crashing a lot recently. Dozens of tab crashes within the span of just a minute or two are not uncommon. Sometimes, the entire browser itself crashes. Usually, the reason given is a vague EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE or EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. I should note that in my case, the crashes affect most of the browsers I use, but they do not crash nearly as often as firefox does.

I've tried using it without any extensions (clean install), and with hardware acceleration disabled. I've run a RAM test also, which showed no issues. Disk check also indicated no issues. I installed windows 10 and even windows 11 on the secondary hard disk, but the issue persisted. I've also tried forcing my discrete/integrated GPU to be used solely as the display adapter, but the crashes still persisted.

When using firefox on ubuntu, the crashes do not happen, strangely. There was only one instance that I noticed the crashes on ubuntu, and that was when I set my discrete graphics card as the exclusive display adapter, from the BIOS settings.

Anyway, nothing really sticks out as the root cause. Wonder if someone is able to decipher anything from the crash reports below https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-6927a483-6c22-4830-b057-1413e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-42b9b1f5-5820-4ed9-9c52-30c8e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-0b92e804-00e8-4515-9129-3b5db0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-d27cdb0b-3e38-4507-925b-09ce30240914 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-fa6b0609-ae19-4a66-a81d-078040240911

I reported this 4 months ago and got no useful reaction, and the issue is ongoing, and my last report is clearly dead. I only got one idiot saying "Your answer is in your screenshots". Answer? I didn't ask a question. I reported feedback to fix something.

Ever since Facebook started infesting the chats with end-to-end encryption (random chats get "Messenger upgraded the security of this chat. Messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption" without my permission or asking if I want this), any encrypted chats have audio and video calls disabled. I note that I have ONE friend for whom it didn't do this, I can still do calls with her. If I receive a call, I get a pop-up saying that to receive this call I must download the Messenger app (no way) or a browser which supports it. If I check what browsers it thinks supports this, it only lists Chrome and Edge. As far as I know Edge is just Internet Explorer renamed, the biggest black hole in security, I've never touched it. Chrome ignores industry standards, so I don't use it. Making Firefox the best, top browser available. It's the only browser I wish to use. Mozilla needs to look into how to get Facebook to stop blacklisting Firefox like this. Note that this E2EE garbage has only been infecting things for less than a year, before that I was perfectly able to do any calls I wished in Facebook Messenger.

Note that back when I made my previous report, Group Chats were immune, but trying again today making a group chat RIGHT AWAY it marked it as having E2EE applied, so that fix now no longer works.

Can this somehow be brought to Mozilla's attention, to fix whatever Facebook is griping about so Firefox users can stop being blocked from making calls?

I have unchecked all boxes under "Search Suggestions-Choose how suggestions from search engines appear." ロProvide search suggestions (unchecked). Firefox ignores this and continues to allow Google to bombard me with unwanted and distracting lists of suggestions. How can I put a stop to this? Thank you!

Initially, I set firefox up to NEVER EVER delete my tabs. But for months now, everytime I shut down my laptop and then turn it on, ALL MY TABS ARE GONE!!!! HOW DO I GET MY TABS BACK???? THIS IS DISRUPTING MY BUSINESS EXTENSIVELY!!! WHY DOES FIREFOX NOT KEEP MY TABS????

Good morning,

Today I have formatted my computer. So, next step is install all the software I use. I use your app and when I reinstalled, I received your advice to update mozilla. I have download the file and I usually check with virus total the link and the file. Your link is ok but the file have a malware.

I'm sorry but how I can trust in your downloads and advices?

Thanks

I want to update Firefox but also version Firefox-134 causes the same problem as all previous versions newer than Firefox-95: GUI is not started in my Linux system despite all the requirements noted on the Mozilla pages with the release are satisfied. Basing on that I have read and experimented as well as on response to my bug report, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938497 I suppose that the new versions of Firefox are not able to start GUI using libGL backend GLX and they require LibGL backend EGL only. This requires libEGL version and other associated libraries that are present only in newest versions of Linux distributions like Fedora-41. These new versions are for new hardware and it is pointless to install them on older hardware because they would work probably ineffectively and cause problems. Linux is very customizable and users introduce adjustments and install software created by themselves, for years. That is why an update to radically new version of the Linux distribution is justified after buying a new computer. This would be required for making the Firefox-134 binary provided to run with GUI as well as for possible compiling it from source.

That is why I would like to ask for consideretion of submitting Firefox-134 binary statically linked (at least the libraries that are required for GUI) so that it will work with GUI on older Linux systems obeying the requirements noted on mozilla pages with Firefox releases, assuming 4-8 GB RAM is available.

Hi there, I had an issue just now with logging onto Audible.com.au. It brings up Amazon, so I logged in, but then it keeps bringing up the attached message and saying that Firefox requests my PIN number. I've never set one up and I've been using Mozilla and Firefox for about 15+ years now and never had this problem. The error message directs me where to go, however, when I log into the Mozilla account it says to go to Settings then Accounts then Sign-in Options.

The problem is, there is now 'accounts' under settings, let alone 'signin options'. I don't know what's going on or why, so really need some help.

Thanks. Carolyn
