Firefox and Thunderbird issues. I am using Firefox v. 133.0.3 (64 bit) on Win 10 I have 2 default files: C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bwa3b8cx.default-1520739811795 with 1,114 items C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\kfjgip7d.default with 55 items When I open Firefox I land on “Welcome to Firefox” and a second tab “Firefox Privacy NoticeꟷMozilla” appears. Sometimes two windows (2 versions) of Firefox open, both on the default Firefox screen. I have repeatedly tried to change the home screen. This works until I close Firefox. Upon restart the home page is gone and I revert to the default Firefox page. In Thunderbird I am using I have one Profile C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\n7m9uw0t.default with 131 items. As with Firefox two windows open when I start Thunderbird. Currently one window has only my inbox. The other window opens with two tabs: Inbox and Account Settings. I no longer see the local folders I was using before things went awry. Questions: 1. How do I get Firefox to open one window and land on my desired home page? 2. How do I restore the saved passwords? 3. How do I get Thunderbird to open only once and on my inbox 4. How can I restore my “lost” local folders? I have looked at a number of FAQs and haven’t been able to suss out a cure. Also, it seems that both programs started having problems at the same time. Any help you can provide will be appreciated. R. Stober

Description: Intermittent black or white blocks partially covering parts of the image, this problem disappears when you open the same webpage in troubleshoot mode. Steps to Reproduce: This problem I have is when i open an image inside a website I am subscribed too. It first occured about three weeks ago, I tried all the available cleaning tools cache etc to try to resolve this issue. As none of that worked and I had the computer quite a while, I decided to do a complete new Windows installation but the problem was still there. This problem occurs in The British Newspaper Archive website, Newspapers At Ancestry website and Ancestry.co.uk, this problem does not occur using any other browers. I can open the same webpage in both Windows Edge and Duck Duck Go browsers and the issue is not there. So, that suggests to me that the issue is in the Firefox Browser itself. I have tried opening the webpage in the Firefox troubleshoot mode, and the issue then disappears, but then as I re-open Firefox normally, the issue returns. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me to resolve this issue. Thanks.

Hi, Bones here,

I recently had issues when using Firefox that after typing a couple letters into my google email sign in area my browser would freeze and then not respond. I did the "fix/restore" but now all of my saved passwords and book marks are gone. I'm almost positive I was signed in as a Mozilla account but its not there any more. Please any help to get them all back or to figure out what email it could be would be amazing.

Hello, I have been sending links from my iphone to telegram, then clicking each link individually to open in firefox and then saving all the links as bookmarks. Is there a way to send links from my iphone to my computer or firefox so that I can open the links as a batch or save them as a batch of bookmarks without individually clicking on them? I was thinking about sending them as I get the links on my iphone individually as html files, then highlighting all of them with my cursor and opening them all at once as separate tabs in firefox, then saving them as a batch of links (which I know how to do), but I don't know how to send links from iphone to my laptop as individual html files.

I tried firefox sync but it does not work well with iphone, because it will sync and sometimes delete previously saved bookmarks. So I'd like a new route if you have one. Apologies in advance if I should be on the apple or microsoft forum, please redirect me if so. Thank you so much!

Firefox is using too much of my Pcs proccessing power and causing my pc to freeze. The videos Im watching and twitch will just freeze then I have to hard reset my pc because the windows option to shut down or restart will do nothing. Even when I hit window+ctrl+shift+b to reset my graphics card it does nothing. please help me or I will have to stop using firefox which Ive been using for 20 years.

Hello,

I am a new firefox user and would like to use it 100%, but have been running into a few bugs. This one I have been unable to find this issue myself, so thought I would ask here. I use Qobuz to stream hi-res music up to 24bit/ 192kHz. Some albums do not have sound at that resolution. The file will load and timer shows the song is playing, but there is no audio. I can change the setting to stream at 16bit/44.1kHz and then I get audio. Again, this does not occur with all albums, some will stream at hi-res and some will not. An interesting note: the same file with no audio at hi-res on firefox will have audio at same resolution setting on chrome. The only thing I can think of is chrome is reducing resolution in the background, or maybe a DRM issue? I do have "Play DRM-controlled content" checked in firefox settings.

p.s. I am aware that streaming music through a browser is not necessarily the best way to listen to hi-res music, and my ears may, or may not hear the difference between the 16bit and 24bit. However, the issue is the functionality, or lack of.

Thank you in advance for any insight.

so what makes firefox suddenly annoy WSJ site so it pops captcha and blocks me every time even if i turn off all the ublock like extentions and turn on javascript enabled.

it doesn't even show the picture so i have to listen to the numbers... don\t like this.

I have been playing a word game on Gamepoint.com...always worked. 3 days ago when the gameboard comes up it is messed up. I jumped onto microsoft edge and it works... firefox is having issues letting this game load properly...how do i fix?

Sometimes it restarts and sometimes it doesn't. I have tried all the gizmos like deleting my cache and things but to no avail. It used to work alright. Please help!

Hello

When attempting to pay for online purchases the new firefox upgrade (Mac 133.0.3) will not redirect from the merchant to the payment site. Yesterday, before the upgrade, was no problem making credit card purchases online; now, nothing. Please advise on how to set up new firefox version to allow redirect to payment websites from merchant sites.

Thank you.

In the last few days, I´ve noticed that even when I don´t have Firefox (my default browser) open, if I open an application, such as MS Word or Viber a Firefox browser opens: "https://mmrtb.com/bonus/com-eu-1-9831/pt-lp1.php?c=4qz1i3cjz62z1&k=44054a8f2a8266ec8cbf5c4400bbcb38&country_code=PT&carrier=NOS&country_name=Portugal&region=Aveiro&city=Oliveira%20De%20Azemeis&isp=Nos%20Comunicacoes,%20S.A.&lang=en&os=Windows%2010&osv=&browser=Firefox&browserv=133&brand=Desktop&model=Desktop&marketing_name=Desktop&tablet=4&rheight=768&rwidth=768&e=5"

I´ve checked everything I can think of, including Temp files, browser cache. I´ve even scanned the registry and all open processes. I´ve also installed another Malware scanner / eliminator, and no spyware or viruses are found. I cannot find anything. What is coming up is something that looks like a raffle or lottery for my ISP, but that doesn´t exist. if I cut and paste the url into a different browser, it takes me to adds for adult websites.

I´ve installed a site blocker as a Firefox browser extension, but I´m still getting the window pop up. I´ve attached a screen shot of what I get now that I´m blocking it. Once I close it, it still randomly loads again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I pay Aura to monitor all my activity and accounts and save my passwords. The extension is there, but there is no longer a shortcut. There was previous to your last update. I can find nowhere in manage extensions to change this. If I cannot have this extension shortcut, then I will no longer be able to have Firefox as my home screen. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me out with this issue.
