Does anyone at Mozilla use mlb.com? There has been a chronic problem since opening day where if you check scores for a 2ND game it forces you to the top.

There are multiple issues with Firefox and mlb.com. Since opening day. When you are checking scores and stats from each game Firefox forces the view to the top of the screen. When you load the scores page it works fine with the first game, but any others it forces you to the top of the page after 5 seconds. This has been going on since April. There are other quirks too related to mlb.com. That is why I was surprised there were no baseball fans in Mozilla!

After the freeze, I could not end the multiple processes in Task Manager so rebooted and uninstalled it. After attempting to reinstall Firefox will not open, yet two instances of Firefox are shown in Task Manager which cannot be stopped (end task) without a reboot. I have deleted all Mozilla folders, profile, and all registry entries. I have tried reinstalling it in Safe Mode with no luck. I have run several malware and virus scans from various sites which show no problems. I can install other software, just not Firefox. I am posting from a different computer so any configuration information shown from this version of Firefox is not valid in my case. I have tried installing this at least 8 times with the same results. I would appreciate any suggestions other than switch to a different browser, as I have faithfully used Firefox since about version 3 and love(d) it. Thanks in advance for any help: I'm stumped!

Firefox 68, Win 7pro.
I can't rid Google search suggestio, they just will not turn off? In the older version I could apply this script in Adblock Plus [ https://google.com/extern-js/ ] to stop search suggestions - I cant get that to work with the FF68.
The only way to rid is to turn Java off in about:config. AND DO lets have a nice plain Theme for Firefox, this is one reason I am still using an outdated version Firefox 2 reloaded was a classic, we ALL don't want flashing bright designs.

Tabs change positions when I open FireFox 68
When I open firefox it opens up with my tabs, and then it re opens with the tabs completely in the opposite way I had them open. What is doing this?

Usually the very first tab that loads in Firefox is the "Oops, something went wrong, do you want to restore your last session?" one. Since today the tab doesn't show up anymore all of a sudden.
Firefox is still using 1-2gb of RAM (like the old, huge session is loaded), even though the only tab that's open is the one I'm using to write this.
The "profiles/xxxxx.default/sessionstore.jsonlz4" file is almost 70mb. I already deleted it and used the other 70mb one that was created yesterday ("sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4") instead but the first tab still loads up empty and FF is pretty slow/kind of laggy. "History > Restore Previous Session" is greyed out and there's nothing in "History > Recently Closed Windows".
I just updated to 68.0.1 but that didn't help either.
Any ideas how I can make FF load the old session or at least make it give me the option to restore it?
Cannot drag Firefox window with mouse.
Running version 68.0 under Windows 7. Just migrated from older version. Safe mode does not fix this problem. Running default theme. Any ideas?

As of this morning, I cannot get Firefox to work. I am using Windows 7. I click to start firefox and it looks like the program starts. It opens a Window with the minimize, maximize, and close buttons but the window contents are blank and the load icon appears. I can minimize and maximize the window but I cannot end the program. If I use CTRL-ALT-DEL, I can see that firefox.exe is running but I cannot end the task by selecting End Process. If I try to start another instance of Firefox, I get a warning box saying "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."
Nothing I try will end the process.
I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox but the problem persists. I tried doing a fresh install with all previous add-ons and whatnot ignored but it still won't run. I've tried running it with the anti-virus disabled as well as with Windows in Safe Mode but it won't work.
Any ideas?

CCleaner piggy-backed a browser on to the system uninvited which annoys me intensely Since then links on emails or in a video in a magazine may or may not work asking what do I need to open this or not able to open because of privacy? Before it has always been automatic. Also I am now unable to open a private window. My system setting for Firefox seem to out of order somehow which could well be me trying to get it to work properly! I am confident you will tell me to stop fiddling and do this or that

Today I spent about an hour with one following the troubleshooting guide with no fix. Uninstalled, removed directory, installed old version. It simply will not run for end users or as admin when logged in as the user. It DOES run if logged in as a admin which would indicate a profile problem to me however deleting profile was not helpful.

I had a hard drive failure a while ago and, along with everything else, lost my browser profile folder.I recently finally got data recovery and got that profile folder back, but it's been so long since the crash that i've basically made my home in a new browser profile folder.I want to install my old folder in my browser, but keep all of the tabs and bookmarks i've accumulated in my current folder.Is there a way to take tabs and bookmarks from one browser profile and add them to another?I hope I explained the situation clearly enough.

I've sent emails back and forth with someone several time. The last time I added a few lines of information, no links, and tried to send it back. It gave me the warning that it looks like spam and wouldn't send it. I copied and pasted the entire body of the email into a new email, put in the same recipient's address, and it sent. This has happened several times. Why does it happen,? Is there a setting to turn off this warning? Thanks
Firefox won't let me drag-and-drop files from automatically-opened .zip archives into Windows Explorer

I am using Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit (fully updated) and Firefox 68.0 64-bit.
The problem is that when I download any .zip archive and tell Firefox to "Open with... 7-Zip File Manager" (or with Windows Explorer), after the archive has finished downloading and opened in a 7-Zip window (or an Explorer window), I cannot drag-and-drop the file contained in the archive onto a Windows Explorer window or the desktop. No matter where I try to drag the file to, the Windows mouse cursor is always a "cancel" icon and won't let me drop it anywhere.
If I then close the archive window and reopen it from the download folder (C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Temp), now I can drag-and-drop correctly.
I know that this is a problem with Firefox, because if I try the same operation with the same .zip archive using the current version of Tor Browser (8.5.4 32-bit (based on Mozilla Firefox 60.8.0esr)) or with Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.19399) I do not have this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
How to quickly delete an entry from the address bar after the latest update?

Before I could use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-websites-address-bar-suggestions#w_clearing-a-single-item-from-the-address-bar-history to do so, but today it doesn't work. Clicking the Delete button when trying this does nothing now at best, and at worst makes it so that I am only searching for the current address and hides everything else unrelated to that.
Firefox top sites just went blank a couple weeks ago, even reinstalling didn't help.

I started the thread 'Created New Firefox Account Instead of Linking Old Mozilla Account-What Steps To Take?' with the username Beano100 and Cor-el was assisting me.
While signed into my new Firefox account, I added a secondary email account and changed it to my primary email address but am now locked out of my new Firefox account even though the verification code is accurate.
I am going to keep this old account (Buddy2014) that I am currently signed into but can a moderator delete the new Beano100 Firefox account (and let me know when that has been done) so that I can start over again?
After the new Firefox account has been deleted, I would like a step by step explanation of how to link this old account to a new account.

When I use Firefox to view web pages that include Apple Maps, this sends my monitor to sleep (simple message "Attention Entering Sleep mode" then screen goes black). There seems no way out of this except to switch off the PC and reboot. This only happens in normal mode, web pages display normally in Safe Mode. Tried Refreshing Firefox, disabling all Plugins, disabling hardware acceleration; I have no Themes or Extensions; new Profile - none make any difference. When the map starts to load, it gets to the point where text (i.e. place names) are rendered but the text is garbled and then the monitor goes to sleep. Any ideas anything else I can try? Can I somehow debug the rendering of the map? Or am I resigned to always using Firefox in Safe Mode - does this matter anyway? Thanking you for any suggestions.
