I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi,

I cannot logon to icloud using Firefox (since 3 days) on my windows pc. It normally works fine

I can logon on using the mobile firefox browser and I can logon using Edge. However, I don't want to use Edge

I use a VPN (including browser extension) but I haven't had a problem before

Thanks

Jonathan

the last url in moz_places in places.sqlite are not the same as in my history tab I posted here

Here is my `last-url.sh`

   #!/bin/bash
   
   rm  -rf /tmp/db.sqlite 
   cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr/places.sqlite /tmp/db.sqlite ;
   LAST_URL=`sqlite3 /tmp/db.sqlite "select url from moz_places order by last_visit_date desc limit 1;"`;

   echo $LAST_URL

My script keeps giving me wrong answer. For exemple, a stackoverflow.com url instead of the youtube.com one even if i reload the page.

I have only one `xxxxxx.default-esr` profile.

Screenshot examples: the "google test" is a brand new visited url, and the others were refreshed pages

Hi there,

I've been having an issue lately where random text I've written is being inserted into other areas of my paragraphs in online text blocks. This mainly happens when I hop between paragraphs and try to edit content.

IE: If I wrote this statement and went back to correct something above, this sentence would "somehow" get added into the spot where I'm editing. It makes NO sense and is only happening within Firefox. Is there a way to fix it? I've noticed this happening on both Facebook and Indeed now too...so, I think it could be more of an issue with Firefox than certain sites.

The image is an example of the text being added in and reinserted. Thanks in advance for the help!

Every time I open Mozilla browser, it crashes right after it opens.

This only started happening since recently. Before this, I haven't faced this issue while using this browser for year(s)

I have failed to resolve the issue with the following methods:

• Updated Firefox
• Tried to use Troubleshoot Mode (crash still happens)
• Uninstalled Firefox, deleted additional files and re-installed
• Did Refresh

Other browsers are working fine

I am using Razer Blade RTX 2070 Max Q, VR Ready Graphics (8GB GDDR6 VRAM) 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H Processor 6 Cores/12 Threads, up to 5.0GHz

How about logging entry and exit points for each plug in that runs? Then it should be pretty easy to identify which plugin is crashing. Sure, it won't work all the time, but it'll work much of the time.

This would be SO much easier than taking ages to manually debug by safe mode, trouble shooting, disabling each plugin one at a time. That's no fun, even for IT pros. Think what it's like for regular users!

What am I missing here? This sounds like a very simple fix, which would offer HUGE wins for little work.

How does that sound?

I've had this problem for a while and it's kept me from actually using the program. At any given time when I try to run the application, it never lasts for more than a couple seconds before it suddenly stops with no warning. Whenever I get these crashes, the Crash Reporter never opens. Because of this issue I can't open it in troubleshooting mode. At this point I have tried fully resetting my PC twice, uninstalling McAfee, had multiple malware scans, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself multiple times. I'm really not all that good at operating computers, I just kind of know how to navigate files. I don't know what else to do at this point.

Hello Mozilla Support,

Since 2 upgrades ago, anytime I try to watch a livestream, my browser slows right down and then crashes.

I don't care why its happening, I just want a definitive fix for the issue.

I'm so aggrieved at this happening constantly, if you cannot provide a firm resolution to this issue, i will simply move to another browser.

I've tried your about:config setting restart to false and other fixes but still keeps happening.

I await your reply.

With Regards,

Mark

Hello, I have been a diehard Firefox user since it was still in Beta. I have been using computers personally since 1994 and professionally since 2004, doing Windows and Linux systems administration. I can and will do whatever (within limits) you need me to do to troubleshoot and resolve this issue, which is otherwise going to cause me to abandon this otherwise excellent browser, perhaps forever. The browser.cache.disk.capacity seems to work, but browser.cache.memory.capacity does not.

Why does firefox not respect the assigned values for browser memory cache (browser.cache.memory.capacity)? Is there anything I can do to limit the memory and processor usage of Firefox and its child processes? Is extension CPU/memory usage constrained by the application values? Is there a way to determine and/or limit the resource usage of extensions?

I have included a number of screenshots documenting its behavior and generated an about:memory report during "normal use". After configuring a number of system variables, I then attempted to determine its resource usage under heavy load.

Open the browser with a couple 2, 3 tabs: ~1GB memory usage Use the browser as "normal" (dozens tabs): ~2GB memory usage Open 100+ tabs from history: The CPU and memory resource usage increases until it consumes all available system resources despite configured values. After killing and restarting the process, the tabs have invisible titles in the extension and browser, and must be closed using Ctrl+W until only a few remain after which the browser can be used normally and again consumes ~1GB.

While I understand "just don't open so many tabs", under some circumstances such as poorly written websites, bugs, etc, even single sites may attempt to claim excessive resources. I sometimes run VMs and such on this machine and in order to retain a responsive system, cannot have applications consuming all of the available resources. I have found one proposed solution that uses an external application, is this the only way?

I am open to allowing Firefox to utilize more of the SSD storage (the 1GB limit was imposed for testing) and would be fine with increased slowness due to disk cache or refetching internetworked resources. However, none of the settings I have changed or attempts I have made appear to be able to limit the memory usage in any way. Additional included screenshots are linked above instead of as attachments due to number. I can share or generate additional reports to assist in troubleshooting.

Thank you! JackD

I have a macbook pro running Sonoma 14.2.1. A few days ago I noticed the computer didn't update to the current version of Firefox when I attempted to do so after being prompted that an update was available. I went to "About Firefox" and saw the error message "Failed to check for updates". Please help. Thanks.

Artifacts on Youtube videoes when hardware acceleration is enabled. These artifacts is not there playing video on Chrome with hardware acceleration. Disabling acceleration removes artifacts, but videos runs poorly. These artifacts also appears in regular browsing. Intel GPU on latest driver. Since it works in Chrome with the same GPU on the same driver, the problem is in Firefox. Artifacts not there when running Furmark gfx burn in. So problem is not in the hardware. Problem still persistent even on numerous updates of Firefox. Windows 11, Intel HD Graphics 620 GFX, latest driver, latest Firefox.

Why can't Firefox copy text to the clipboard anymore? It won't copy text from a web page, from a URL, or even from about:support "Copy text to clipboard"!!! I'm using version 1.22 64 bit on windows 11. I've reinstalled Firefox but it doesn't make a difference. I've tried "Troubleshoot Mode" and it's still broken!!!

I can paste into Firefox but something has broken copy!

I just updated Firefox. That's supposed to improve things, right?

Now the address bar is gray most of the time. It looks normal when I'm entering a search, or editing a URL, the rest of the time, it's just ugly now. I don't like things to be changed arbitrarily like that. What is the rationale for changing the way that looks? How can I change it back? Please give me a setting, or about:config preference, and please don't get direct file editing involved, okay?

Why doesn't tiling the windows work as well as it used to? Yesterday, I could hit super+left, or super+right, from a maximized window, and it'd tile to the left or right side of the screen perfectly, the first time, every time, no problems. Now it has an intermediate stage where there's a gap all the way around the window. It seems to improve by clicking on a different window, then back into the Firefox window, but that intermediate step just shouldn't happen! What's a fix for this?

I also hit the button at the bottom to include optional troubleshooting information, but it said instead, "We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps." No, I'm not doing that, get that thing working right, too!

Firefox has been white-screen blocking my access to some common websites including CNN, Amazon and possibly others. No error messages, just a blank white screen. This is a sudden change and has never been a problem in the past. Chrome and Firefox on my other computers are not affected. I have cleared caches and deleted all tabs with no change in symptom. I've also checked CPU and memory resources and both appear normal. No sites are being blocked by settings either, though I would expect Firefox to give me a "This site is blocked" message of some kind if that were the case. How do I fix this?

Safari is showing the links seen in blue after each line but FireFox is leaving them out. Some type of bug or coding problem. This began happening 3-4 months ago. It used to work fine on FireFox. Would love to stay using FireFox and avoid the Safari thing. Love the browser!!! Mark Miller

So I've noticed that after putting my computer to sleep, upon return Firefox will be unable to load any videos from seemingly any site. The temporary solution to this is to reset my computer as sign offs, locks or returning to sleep do not clear the issue. I've tested on different browsers/sites and can confirm that this is exclusive to firefox. I have booted firefox in troubleshoot mode, cleared my history and given the sites time to load with no luck on any of them.

Is there a solution to this?

I followed [this moderator's post on Support Mozilla](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1254142#answer-1207829).

My hard drive lacks space for System Restore, which I forgot to turn on. After I mistakably clicked 'Delete files' 2 hours ago, Recuva recovered these 53 files, too little for a Firefox User Profile ?

Wise Data Recovery recovered 13 files, 108.37 KB, but again too little for a Firefox User Profile?

hello ppl i hope u guys doing good look in some sites firefox is not playing any sound no audio like on facebook reels or watching a vedio there i cant hear anything and some sites also when i watch vedio i cant hear any sound but in other browser everything work perfect but i like to use firefox its audio prblm and pls know thats the prblm is not from my windows i have windows 10 everything work fine pls help me fix this thx.

This doesn't happen every time, but certainly more frequently than it should. Is there anything that can be done about this. Is this about competing for resources. Maxing out the CPU?

Just now occurred. Firefox closed shortly after opening Chrome. No crash notification. Then, Chrome froze, with one of those "Close program or wait" messages.

Ever since the last update the browser's font has been garbled (tabs, address bar, settings page, etc). Some websites show this problem too.

I tried downgrading back to 119 and it displays fine. I was force updated back to 121 and it's broken again.

This happens now a lot, sometimes I can uninstall Firefox reinstall and it works. That worked this time but only for a few days. I am back once again to where I get this error on every place I visit. I have cleared my cache etc.. uninstalled reinstalled did a restore. It is only Firefox all other browsers work fine. No idea what to do anymore and am sad because I prefer Firefox. I only have standard windows 11 home security stuff installed so nothing special or fancy firewalls. Tried turning on default fire wall. Tried all the instructions on the more info page the error screen leads to.

This error occurs on most all websites or places I need to log into

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to mail.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
