I like to have more than one window open, for different things, depending what i'm doing. however, since I started using Multi-Account Containers, it's been trying auto-combine windows when I first open something. So, maybe I'm doing some research on new gear, and open a window exclusively for Amazon, so I can buy/wish list what I'm finding. I can open a new window, but as soon as I go to Amazon.com, Firefox tries to combine that tab into the existing window. This is happening independent of which containers are being used.
How can I make the auto-combine stop?

Hello, I've encountered a problem, where Firefox doesn't show reCaptcha and many other google scripts and tools. If I open the console, I can clearly see, it can't load pretty much any <script> from .js file, regardless the source. Off course, most often from one of the google's pages, such as gstatic.com, googlesyndication.com, google-analytics.com, etc. Warning is usually followed by "Invalid chrome URI: /", but not every time.
I've already tried these steps to resolve my issue, but without any success. - restarted FF in safe mode without extensions (no change) - disabled all blocking features included in FF (no change) - checked, that javascript itself isn't disabled (it isn't)
I've even tried instalation of Waterfox and Pale Moon without importing anything from FF. It doesn't work there too. On the other hand, Opera and IE works fine, but I don't like them.
Could you please help me a bit? BTW, I have FF with the exactly same settings on my laptop, which is also synced with my account, and it works just fine. Both computers run Win7.

Hello,
I love FF and have used it for many years. However, every time I open it, I have to adjust the initial window size and then at least 1 more new window. I am using 65.0.2 64 bit on a Windows 7 machine. I was reading and saw a suggestion to use the command line switches to set the window width and height. So I made a shortcut with the target line as "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -height 850 -width 1800. This doesn't work. So what am I doing wrong or is there an easier way to accomplish this? I am very surprised that there is nothing in the about:config that would allow this type of customization. I also am baffled at what window size is presumed by FF.
Thanks for your help in advance!

How To Nullify Xul.dll and Prevent Browser Overides by This File?

[ Windows 7, x64 - Firefox Quantum 69.0b14 ]
I have been trying to make a permanent modification of prefs.js, specifically changing browser.launcherprocess.enabled to false because it is incredibly annoying not being able to drag bookmarks to a folder (whatever the security implications of such), but I cannot make the change stick because it is overidden by xul.dll whenever I restart my machine.
I had hoped to re-code xul.dll, but this does not appeart to be possible, as it seems that xul.dll is proprietary; so I am wondering if anyone can suggest something (other than using a browser which does force options on you whether you like it or not) or if there is a legacy version of xul.dll (and associated signature file) that can be used instead?

Hi. I've been using Firefox for many years and i never had any trouble with it. But now i have trouble. I had to format my pc and start from scratch with win 10. Before that i saved my Firefox bookmarks. Installed win 10 and all updates for win 10. Got the newest version of Firefox, and installed it. Went to "Import & Backup bookmarks", and clicked import. Now Firefox freezes and had to be closed down. Whenever i click on anything in "Import & Backup bookmarks" it freezes. and i can see it uses a lot of Cpu usage (High CPU usage) I Tried to follow the guides for (High CPU usage) but that didn't help, i reinstalled Firefox, i deleted the profile, start in Fail safe mode nothing helped. I spent hours looking in guides, but couldn't find anything that helped. Can anyone here help me

When I open a web page to send out the link to I used to be able to choose which email address I wanted to use (verizon/AOL, or one of 2 business gmail addresses). now I can't send at all unless I choose 1 gmail address under options tool. what happened?

Since a Firefox update a week or so ago, both my Window 10 laptop and window 7 desktop, who have synch'd bookmarks, show a multiplicity of repetitive entries that I did not bookmark, some are only websites that I visited but did not bookmark, others are sites that I bookmarked once, but are now repeated many times in the toolbar.

Every couple of years I get sick of Google Chrome and try to go to Firefox. Things mostly work, but sometimes they don't. The things that don't work seem to be buttons and menus. I run Firefox on Linux; today I'm on Fedora 28 with Firefox 66.0.4, but my issues seem to transcend time- probably 8 years or more. But Chrome scares me, so maybe we can address this and get it figured out.
I'll include some specifics to get down to the details of why Firefox fails. Here's a website that I just went to: https://lcsc.com/ . After you get there, a New Coupon windows pops up. Apparently "Coupon in Your Pocket" is a button, but nothing happens when I click on it.
I've been having problems at Aliexpress, too, where it asks me to login but I can't because the login button is unresponsive. But let's not try to fix Aliexpress, perhaps it would be better to focus on the one website so we don't get distracted. And it's easy- just go to it and the coupon will pop up.
I've had problems on other websites that I can't recall right now. But this lcsc.com problem seems to be pretty straightforward, so I decided to report it in the hopes that I can get Firefox to work once and for all. I don't want to have to keep going to Chrome.
See the attached screenshot.

ubuntu 16.04, firefox 68.0.1. New instance started after "updated in background" restart just sits there. Add-ons are not started, tabs are not restored as promised. Typing in URL bar and hitting enter does nothing. No response to attempt to open a bookmark. Typing "about:support", no response. I tried removing and re-installing firefox with "sudo apt", no help. Starting firefox without addons, no help. The "about:firefox" display shows no change in version number. A reboot is the only thing that cures this. It has now happened 8 times (8/2, 8/5, 8/9. 8/16 and 4 times earlier). I have about-buildconfig, about-firefox and about-support from 8/2 and 8/5 if they would be helpful.

1st, please read my prior question for background as to why I MUST HAVE BOTH VERSIONS @ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1265937 - "Is there any "Extension" that is capable of storing CONSECUTIVE "Screen Captures" in the Same Directory or do I have to continue to use FF 56.0.2".
This question has to do with the VERY poorly written v68.0.2 update.
If you read my prior post, address above, I MUST KEEP V56.0.2 ALIVE IN ORDER TO SAVE REPETITIVE CONSECUTIVE SCREEN PRINTS IN THE SAME DIRECTLY - v68.0.1 HAD NO CAPABILITY OF DOING THAT, AND NEITHER DOES V68.0.2 APPARENTLY.
FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF SEVERAL CONTRIBUTORS - I WAS TOLD THAT I JUST NEEDED TO INSTALL v68+ IN A DIRECTORY OTHER THAN "Mozilla Firefox" SUCH AS "Mozilla Firefox - NEW", IN THE C:\Program Files DIRECTORY.
I HAD v56.0.2 RUNNING ON ANOTHER TASK, OPENED V 68.0.1, WHICH DEMANDED AN UPDATE - IT COULD NOT EVEN TELL THAT THE MESSAGE CAME FROM 68.0.1, INSTEAD IT UPDATED THAT TO 68.0.2, BUT IT ALSO TRASHED MY INSTALLATION OF 56.0.2
WHILE EXECUTING THIS HORRIBLE UPDATE, IT DID NOT ASK WHICH DIRECTORY TO INSTALL IT IN - IT JUST PLOWED AHEAD AND DESTROYED MY V56.0.2 INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS MY ACCESS TO THE ONLY USABLE SCREEN CAPTURE ADD-ONS - SINCE V57+ DESTROYED THOSE.
THE FACT THAT NOW EVEN UPDATES ARE SO POORLY WRITTEN, IT APPEARS THAT THE END OF THE ROAD IS AHEAD FOR MOZILLA.
I MUST HAVE A DOWNLOAD LINK TO V56.0.2 WHICH SHOULD RESTORE MY ADD-ONS. (NOT DRECTED FROM FROM PAGE https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox#w_i-still-want-to-downgrade-ae-where-can-i-get-the-previous-version TO https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/") TO THE ENTRY FOR "Dir 56.0.2/" THEN TO https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/').
THIS "LIST" OF FILES FOR FF V56.0.2, HAS NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT FILE WHICH USERS NEED TO DOWNLOAD TO RESTORE WHAT MOZILLA's FF V68.0.2 UPDATE DESTROYED - AGAINST MY SETTINGS AND WISHES & WITHOUT MY PERMMISION.
IF MOZILLA WILL NOT FIX THE WEB-EXTENSIONS - THIS USER MUST HAVE V56.0.2 BACK NOW ! ! !
RETALIATING AGAINST USERS WHO REQUIRE 2 INSTALLATIONS, JUST TO COMPLETE BASIC BROWSING TASKS (56.0.2 & 68.0.2) SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO PRODUCE USABLE SCREEN CAPTURES WITHOUT HAVING TO REPETITIVELY RE-NAVIGATE TO THE SAME DESIRED DIRECTORY TIME, AFTER TIME, IS TRULY EVIL.
PLEASE DIRECT ME TO A USABLE LINK TO DOWNLOAD A FUNCTIONAL VERSION OF 56.0.2 - OR PLEASE INDICATE WHAT FILES NEED TO BE DOWNLOADED AND EXECUTED FROM https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/').
FIX YOUR 68.0.2 UPDATES SO THERE IS NO IMPACT ON ANY OTHER VERSIONS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTORIES - THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS HAPPENING ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD 52.0.6 SET TO NEVER UPDATE.
THIS USER MUST HAVE V56.0.2 (and its functional add-ons) BACK NOW IN ORDER TO DOCUMENT PAYING MY BILLS ! ! !
