Hi Everyone. I'm experiencing the follow screen crash when I opening Firefox after turned on my laptop. To recover normal view I need to restore and maximize it again. It's curious, because just happen when I'm opening Firefox at first time after start up. I'm using ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Firefox 71.0 (64-bit) with this extensions: keep note (google), Adblocker Ultimate, Simple Translate, Ublock Origin, Google TM Translator and Dark Reader. Additionally, dialog box, like where to save files ever open in my second monitor (yes, I'm using 2).

I'm using the same version and extensions another Windows PC and all things looks like good. It's I'm not sure if the problem is OS or Firefox.

Thank you all

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
