When on Facebook, Firefox will shut down the network connection so that it can't communicate anymore, no incoming or outgoing traffic through Firefox. I opened TaskManager to try to kill the process, but it leaves a single Firefox.exe process running and it CAN'T be killed. I've tried everything I can think of. In an admin command window, normally Tasklist to check for the process and then Taskkill /IM firefox.exe would work. It comes back with process not found, even though it's in the Tasklist and still running in the taskmanager list.

When trying to kill Firefox, it always says "Firefox is currently running" with the option of close Firefox or cancel. If you select close Firefox, the window just comes up again with the same question while leave Firefox.exe still running in the taskmanager. If you select cancel, the windows goes away and the Firefox.exe process stays running in taskmanager.

So I used Sandboxie (sandbox program) to open another Firefox window to continue, which works fine for a while until Firefox decides to shut down the network connection again. I even tried logging off the user account and logging into a different user account, Firefox is still there, running and still can't be shut down. It's like a bad case of Herpes or Chlamydia or something. Then all I can do is shut down and restart the entire machine.

So to reiterate, Firefox cannot be shut down and removed from the taskmanager process list using the typical right upper corner "Red X" kill, or by way of taskmanager "end process" or "end process tree" and cannot be shut down by an admin command window Taskkill command or logging off and switching users.

I don't know if the "autoscroll issue" is an inherent attached problem or separate, but I have that one as well. I'll be looking at asomething and Firefox with a mind of its own will scroll down maybe 2 to 10 threads, sometimes stop, sometimes continue scrolling all on its own. It's annoying as hell. I will try the layout.css "false" fix and see if that works.

Both these issues only occur on my cheezy 3rd gen motherboard/computer, so the specs for cheezyness...

Any solutions would be greatly helpful...

Folks, my basic settings are "always use private browsing mode". I occasionally run into sites that don't allow this. I see there is the keystroke support for the ability to open a new tab in private mode. Can you develop one to open a tab in non private mode ?? it's a major pain to have to change the main private browsing mode setting to off, use the site that demands it off, then change it back afterwards.

Thanks,

  Tony

I cannot access certain email documents because my pop up is blocked. I have tried a number of searches as to where to disable the pop up for firefox but keep hitting dead ends.

The last time I updated Firefox it forgot my open tabs and browsing history. I never want to update Firefox again so how do I disable this annoying popup about a new version? If I cannot eliminate this I will change to another browser.

I am running Windows 7 (and will not downgrade to one of the newer versions). Firefox has stopped supporting Windows 7 with version 115, which I am currently running. However, I get a pop-up message each time I launch Firefox asking if I want to download the latest version (which cannot be installed).

Is there some way to stop this annoying message from appearing?

Call me old-fashioned, but I miss Netscape...

The new Mozilla Firefox (version 110.0) does not run after update on my system. After run it shows the window, but this window doesn't respond. The clean installation (of course with profile folder erase) doesn't fix the problem. I have tried both x64 and x86 versions.

The previous version installation (109.0.1) works fine.

There are some screenshots included. I use Windows 7 on Ryzen 7 2700X processor. Could you please advice, what can be done here?

Hello! This is not really a question ... more a comment. This morning when I opened my WIN 7 HOME tower PC, and opened FIREFOX, I saw the notice that this latest release is the latest for WIN 7. That's fine, but I wish to tell you something about WIN 7 PRO & MICROSOFT. Evidently, there is some major user of WIN 7 PRO who has demanded that MICROSOFT continue to support this version. I have two H-P laptops, which I use for Ladder programming. Both are loaded with WIN 7 PRO, and both receive periodic updates from MICROSOFT. So, it would seem that ALL support for these older releases of Windows has not ended. I am in the process of moving all my files & applications from this WIN 7 HOME PC to my WIN 10 tower PC. THANK YOU. robert herold [removed emails from public]

P.S. Had no problem porting the FIREFOX data to the 10, but had a lot of problems doing the same for THUNDERBIRD on this PC to the 10, despite getting assistance from your tech people.

I have been having constant problems with my email. Not sure if it is a Microsoft issue or Forefox? But, the problem is when I reply to a email in print, I keep getting blue lines when I try and type in my replies. The blue occur when I try and correct a problem with my typing out a reply. If I have to correct or backtrack a word or sentence, the blue line appear. Very frustrating I have to try and remove the blue lines before I can proceed. Can someone please help. Thank you.

I have one site that produces PDF files that Firefox will not open correctly, my other browsers do not have a problem with PDF. What should I be looking for to correct.

It loaded and played OK prior to this update.... works mighty fine on another browser, if this is not fixed I'm through with Mozilla AND you can remove my account!

Looking in task manager-: Firefox.exe 45,24K Firefox.exe 3,16K Firefox.exe 27,484K Firefox.exe 7,392K Firefox.exe 7,344K Firefox.exe 15,735K Firefox.exe 7,320K Firefox.exe 169,932K, I round it off to about 250MB

Yes I cleared the cach, I change profiles..... as said by each update about:config gets bigger and bigger.

In some websites I log into, password field is filling but username field is NOT.

I first reviewed this old, related post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1366874

Attached below is the console for both the username and password at psecu.com. The actual URL is: https://digital.psecu.com/apps/psecuolb/#_frmLogin

(The username is mama). I think both fields show type="text".

And that leaves me stuck. I also attached screen shots of the login page and the console of the username and password is below.

Username:

<input id="frmLogin_main_tbxUserName" kwidgettype="TextField" kformname="frmLogin" kmasterid="main" value="" class=" sknRInputLogin " autocapitalize="none" autocorrect="off" autocomplete="on" type="text" onfocus="$KW.TextField.onfocusEventHandler(arguments[0],this)" onblur="$KW.TextField.onblurEventHandler(arguments[0],this)" placeholder="Username" maxlength="30" style="text-align: left; text-transform: none; padding: 0px 0px 0px 19px; width: 100%; height: 100%;" tabindex="0" role="textbox" aria-label="Username" aria-level="1" aria-describedby="frmLogin_main_lblUsername" aria-required="true">

password:

<input id="frmLogin_main_tbxPassword" kwidgettype="TextField" kformname="frmLogin" kmasterid="main" value="" class=" sknRInputLogin " autocapitalize="none" autocorrect="off" autocomplete="on" type="password" onfocus="$KW.TextField.onfocusEventHandler(arguments[0],this)" onblur="$KW.TextField.onblurEventHandler(arguments[0],this)" placeholder="Password" maxlength="30" style="text-align: left; text-transform: none; padding: 0px 0px 0px 19px; width: 100%; height: 100%;" tabindex="0" role="password" aria-label="Password" aria-level="1" aria-describedby="frmLogin_main_lblPassword" aria-required="true">

after the last update, the keyboard shortcut shift+esc opens the processes menu. i would like to disable it - this is the same shortcut that i frequently need to use on a specific website, and needing to close the processes menu every time is deeply annoying

sign in to email and box appears saying 'Stay signed in so you don't have to sign again' - 3 boxes 'YES" "NO" "DON'T SHOW THIS AGAIN" tick any box and no change next time

When a new bookmark is created it goes to the end of the bookmark listing in the left panel. How can I force Firefox to automatically put each newly created bookmark in the correct alphabetic position in the left panel Bookmarks panel? I DO NOT want to alphabetize the entire panel, I just want each newly created bookmark to go where is alphabetically belongs. I do not use folders so have one long list for bookmarks menu. thank Bob

Was having troubles accessing tinkercad.com. Updated to Firefox 114.0.2 on win 7 64 pro. Can now access website but when I export a file from there, and try to open it from downloads, windows explorer gives error "not responding" when I choose restart the program, the file opens. This did not happen until upgraded firefox. And it did not happen in EDGE. I have system restored, and went back to the site not responding. updated fire fox again, and it keeps happening.

My win 7 works fine, and no, I do not want to update windows on this computer. thank you for your help.

For some time now I have been having trouble with viewing you tube video's. At times the video freezes or just sort of locks up. But, I don't have the same problem with other browsers, Chrome, Brave. So, it just seems with Firefox this issue pertains. Can some one please help so I don't experience the Firefox you tube problems. Thank you.
