I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

This is a 2019 bump to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1221476 .

Firefox renders text incorrectly. It uses DirectWrite, which is incorrect, it should use GDI to render text. In all the next updates please immediately rewrite the Microsoft Windows renderer sourcecode to render all text with GDI.

While connecting to the Dutch tax site I got suddenly the answer from the site that the entrance was blocked by their security rules. I connected successfully half an hour before that. With other browsers no problem! Only FireFox [V 65.02 (64-bit)]. Restart PC didn't help. Error is persistent, next day too. My OS : Win10 Pro. Screen pic included.

How can I repair this?

Thanks.

If someone can tell me what to do it will make my day and calm down my nerves....

Since the last update to Firefox, cause it wanted to bugged me NON STOP, every time I restart my PC Firefox act's like it crashed giving me the " sorry. we’re having trouble getting your pages back. " and just not after starting the PC up and letting it sit there I saw a pop up saying Firefox has crashed even tho it was NEVER OPEN, but i guess something in 65.0.2 causing Firefox to run when the system boot that then crashes EVERY TIME. No crash report is saved as far as i can see tho.

Firefox used to be a GREAT tool. Now, it is LESS than great. Firefox previously would load a web page in very short order (never really timed it) but it was in seconds. NOW it is more like MINUTES and that is just when it starts to indicate the page is STARTING to show itself on the screen. Has YAHOO insert itself into your programming?

Hi

All other borowsers load youtube but not firefox it hangs on loading youtube on red like above at quarter fill and the buffering ring keeps en-circling like a shark. It has occured since update to Firefox version 65.0.2 on 64bit. Please fix this and kindly get back to me. I checked my router, dns, ethernet adapter etc. and all my pc's have this issue since this version of firefox came out. I am throughly fed up. Please get back to me asap. I am not a noob and have exhausted all possible troubleshooting steps. Refreshed firefox, reinstalled it after removing it with proper scrubbing software, checked the about:config everything I can possibly think of and even scoured the forums. I just spent 4 hours of my life trying to fix this and even did a previous windows backup restore to no avail.

There are 4873 differences in 173mb backup and Backup taken after Importing . I used WinMerge.

1. I imported a HTML backup of 173mb into a new Firefox profile.

2. Waited for 10minutes.

3. Took a HTML backup it was of some 80mbs.

4. Restarted Firefox then again took a HTML backup it was of 61.1 MB.

There is something wrong with Importing. I imported the same 173mb HTML bookmark backup to Chrome and Firefox but Chrome got 23919 bookmarks and Firefox got only 23789 bookmarks. Chain is: Firefox-Export and Firefox-Import-Firefox-Export

At one point with this new firefox headache I managed to get my tabs on bottom but I had to do a refresh in order to get into my outlook email cause of a glitch.

Now I can't manage to get my tabs to go under the address bar. I did the whole chrome folder with the userchrome.css thing but I still cant get my tabs to go below my address bar.

Anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Its driving me up the wall not being able to have the browser how I want it.

The attached image should make it clear as to which lines I'm referring to.

I know about the .css file and I have some code in it. I think in particular to make bookmarks transparent, remove the line above a tab and move the tabs to the bottom.

I am using a theme but that doesn't seem to be the problem since when I switch to Light theme, the lines persist albeit in different color. I tried the Default theme, but it's the Dark one and everything is black.

So what code should I add to remove those lines ? Tell me if you want to see my entire css file. Not that it should matter though.

After installing the update for Firefox, my ability to control my windows appears to have broken. I can't manually resize them nor can I do it the quick way by pulling them into corners or against the top of my screen. There appears to be a strange white frame around my browser when I hit the maximize window button, which also forces it into full screen. When in the size it boots up in (the size it had been pre-update), it appears to have something like another, retro window open behind and attached to it. Nothing else seems to be broken thus far, but there was some trouble trying to add photos to this post to give a visual of the problem.

I've never had a problem with Firefox or an update of it before in my life, and I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Last night I did the new firefox update and every since then I have been getting the following error on multiple sites. Including Tumblr, Google, yahoo mail, and many others.

"Network Protocol Error

Firefox has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the network protocol was detected.

   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

I have tried searching out the answer on here and most said to just clear out the cache which is what I did and I am still receiving the error at random times on different sites. I can refresh and the site will load but then if I got to another page of the same website or a different site the error will just appear again. Thanks in advance!

When I lose Google Plus in April, and with no working replacement... I'll have no use for Firefox. I suppose it had to happen. Google Chrome still doesn't work and IE STILL has too many issues... Neither have Customer Service. Firefox has been experiencing Crashes as of late... With no other choices available... I'll have to close my Account when Google Plus goes Offline.

I did some extensive googling to rid myself of this stupid "feature", but none of them has brought me any luck. How do I permanently delete this? I don't want it to give me any suggestions, nor do I want it to search. If I wanted to search I'd visit Google. All I want my adress bar to do is exactly nothing, except being there.

I've tried deleting the search engines in tools, or options or whatever it is you call it, one by one but it refuses to let me delete the last one; as though there MUST be an annoying search engine enabled. Please help me remove this, by force if needed.

Thank you.

In December 2018 I tried to upload a paper to Academia.Edu but received a message to say , upload failed. It may have been the size of the text + diagrams but was not the largest I had previously sent. This February I tried again with the same result. But now Academia.Edu state there is a bug with Mozilla Firefox. Wonderful, would you not think two such large organizations could not get their act together to sort this out. All I get is try this, try that, but no acknowledgement of their culpability. I have tried to use other browsers etc. to no avail. I do not think it is my responsibility to chase around when these systems do not work. Perhaps its about time they stood up to their responsibility when offering their services which obviously do not work in this instance. I look forward to assistance and comments from both parties and help from you all

Same issue as question 1250811.

I can start firefox in safemode, and just let the front page load and then close. This will, 100% of times, close a few firefox processes, but the master process and a few child processes hang...with 12-25% load (according to sysinternals process explorer), for about a minute.

Then the crash-reporter shows up to tell me it ffx crashed.

I have enabled flash on the Flash Player Settings Manager. When I go to the site and try to access the controls, they do not populate with information completely. It works on every other browser but Firefox, so it must be a Flash issue with firefox. I'm using Firefox 65.0.2 64-bit on Windows 7.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I am running version 65 as of Feb-3-2019 on my Mac high sierra and for some reason Firefox updated to this version without my consent. I have "check for updates but let me choose when to install them" selected.

Why does this update occur?

No matter how I decide to print PDFs, the browser automatically defaults to saving a PDF to my Downloads folder instead of printing it. Even if I click the "Print" icon or File > Print from the menu. It always just saves the PDF and I have to open it with another application to print it.

I've gone into about:config and reset my printing settings, but that doesn't fix the issue.
