One of my tabs split off from the bar leaving me two versions of Firefox open. I accidentally closed the main page with all the many tabs first and thus the single tab page was closed last which means the command to restore or open all the tabs doesn't work. You have the choice on the Firefox set up to Open the pages that were open when you closed. Unfortunately is there are what appear to be 2 Firefox browsers open if the unwanted one is closed last -- all the tabs from the other one do not restore and I can't find them in any kind of history.

Is there anyway to find/restore these tabs? Many were open and some of those to remind me of things I can't now remember were there, so I cannot find the information.

Thank you for ANY help with this.

Hi all, I have problems playing certain videos with FF 96.0.3 on 2 different Win 10 computers. Youtube videos, for example, play just fine. However, videos where I just get "Please wait while the media loads" include numerous training videos at support.microsoft.com. (I think I have trouble at other sites as well.) These videos play without any problems on Chrome and Edge. The problem just occurs with FF. I have found a work around, but it's a real pain. It may give someone a good clue as to what the problem is though. If I clear cached web content and cookies EACH time before playing a video and then reload the page, it works. Sometimes just clearing the cache will do the trick. Again, this must be done before each video. Things I have tried include (but are not limited to: reboot pc(s), refresh FF, turned auto play on & off, mute & unmute FF & plug-ins, allowed cookies and pop-ups, disabled ad blocker and other extensions, loaded a Flash Emulator plug-in, confirmed audio is working fine, turned off and on hardware acceleration. I love FF, but this is driving me nuts. I do not consider myself to be terribly tech savvy, but I'm willing to keep trying for a while longer. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John

I cannot use Firefox to browse any more, because it refuses to load gmail and/or youtube. These are sites I have used thousands of times in the past, but recently Firefox will not let me go there any more, and it says "secure connection failed." It also says I should "contact the website owners" to inform them of this problem. (Good luck contacting Google!) Seems like this must be an error, since I have used those sites many times in the past. I have looked at this page of Mozilla's: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/secure-connection-failed-firefox-did-not-connect But it is too long and technical for me to deal with. Anybody have any suggestions about how to get Firefox to not freak out when connecting to a Google service?

I'm running Firefox 96.0.3 on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon, and have a Brother MFC-5890CN printer. Whenever I try to print from within Firefox, the default paper size is incorrect (it varies, occasionally being close to US Letter size but often being extremely small) and every option is shown in mm. I have to click "print using system dialog" to select US Letter (which is set as the printer's default). I have reset the printer settings, but this has no effect. I have not encountered this problem with any other application. How can I set the size list and default size properly?

I just noticed that on the Logins & Passwords page (about:logins), it is possible to search on logins by password. In my opinion this is a security threat, as it makes password guessing nearly trivial. Sure, an attacker would have to get their hands on your laptop/computer, but they can use this strategy to find your password without having to know your master password. I'd love to know whether A) this is intended behavior, and B) if so, if there is a way to turn this off.

Following a VERY troubled update to Windows, which required several hard shutdown/reboots, invoked an automatic attempt to repair Windows, reported that the repair attempt failed, but then booted into Windows normally, the only thing that seems to be wrong is that certain websites report "Secure Connection Failed" with an error code PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. Contrary to the support page, there is no option to report this to Mozilla; the only option is to retry. When I click retry, I get the same page with the error code PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR. This is not a problem with the website -- same website works fine in Firefox on both other computers in house, one running Windows 10 and one running Windows 11. This is not a problem with the operating system -- I have used both the system file check and distribution manager to check/repair Windows system files, and also successfully accessed the web page using Internet Explorer (Microsoft Edge is disabled in Policy Management). So this is clearly a problem with Firefox. I attempted to reset Firefox, but it didn't help. I then uninstalled Firefox, and attempted a clean re-install; I'm not sure how clean the reinstall was, because it detected the prior installation, and imported things. The sites I can't access include Wikipedia (of all things!), some links in the Firefox support pages, and my on-line banking website, which is pretty critical. Other websites work just fine, including most of my other financial accounts -- credit cards, etc. HELP!

As the subject says, when playing some (but not all) videos ending with .mp4, Firefox will show a page with a box containing the error "No video with supported format and mime type found." Sometimes the video's sound will play but the video itself will be a blank black box.

I have already tried the following:

  • Clearing all cookies, cache, and data
  • Disabling all addons
  • Using a brand new vanilla profile

I have tried the videos in Google Chrome and they work just fine. I also experimented with video players. Windows Media Player is incapable of playing them yet VLC player, DivX player, and Media Player Classic all play them just fine. Could this just be an issue with the version of windows on this PC?

I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

My Digital Check CX30 Scanner has a communication error come up when trying to scan checks. This only happened after the latest update. I called the bank and the scanner is not the issue, Firefox is the issue. The scanner works on Chrome but I'd rather not use it. Tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox. Added the website to the exception list for blocking pop-ups, added it to the trusted sites list in ublock origin. Still doesn't work. My IT guy is stumped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi! I wanted to reach out to Firefox support about an odd issue that's been happening for the past month or so.

When I go to interact with an idle open window or bring a minimized window to the foreground, I'll randomly get no response and hear an error noise. Firefox never has any associated error messages, and it has yet to show "unresponsive" status when this happens in Windows 10. I'm wondering if anyone else is running into this issue, as it started roughly the same time with both my work and home PCs. Perhaps a recent Windows 10 and/or Firefox update is the cause...?

Hello, For quite some time, Firefox seems to have a problem with Google docs. 1) The text on Google docs is blurred. I have attached screenshots that compare its appearance on Firefox and Edge. 2) Some functions of Google docs do not work. I can't use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M to insert a comment, but on Edge, this works fine.

I am using Windows 10, Firefox 96.0.3. I have tried restarting Firefox in Troubleshooting mode, but it made no changes to these issues.

What could be the reason for this?
