Firefox 129.0.1 Windows 10 22H2 (19045.4780)

I uninstalled WhatsApp desktop and deleted handlers.json, but when I click the "Join chat" button on chat.whatsapp.com, Firefox still ask me if I want to open with WhatsApp desktop.

Is this a default behaviour? If not, how can I fix this? Thanks.

When the question popped up asking if I wanted to install the new Firefox software, I thought it was just some minor changes. But this is a completely new software and it's made changes that mess up other how my reports look and can be changed. I want to take it completely off of my computer. What do I need to do?

My firefox frequently, several times a week, locks it configuration information and that of the add ins. One of the symptoms of this is a number of sites will not let me enter passwords. I also use "Update Scanner" add-in and when the sites that I am monitoring do not show up in the sidebar, I know that it has happened again.

The only way that I have found to fix it, other than a clean install after deleting all vestiges of of it on the computer and registry etc. Is to Enter Troubleshoot Mode and then use the options to Refresh, and Refresh again. I then have to configure everything else from the settings page and the configure toolbar.

I have started up in troubleshoot mode, removed all addins, done clean installs, Yet I still have the problem. I am sure that the problem something with my computer setup. As I have other machines that do not have this problem.

I would like to get some guidance of ways to figure this out.

I run win10 pro 64 bit. The latest version of Firefox 129.01 has caused my Accuweather Premium program to stop working. When I go to log in the program doesn't respond. I have deleted my cache,data and cookies. I've removed the Accuweather URL. I've uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox and restarted my computer. All my other web apps work. I've spent 2 days working with Accuweather tech support, but they're out of ideas. They say it must be your browser. It worked until this latest update. I've prevented my laptop from accepting this latest update because it still works on the laptop,which is configured the same way as my desktop. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve Toher

I'm getting the F7701-1003 error every time I try to play Netflix (works fine on other browsers). I tried every step of this guide this guide and triple checked it. I tried uninstalling, resetting profile, I that checked resistfingerprinting is turned on. I'm kind of at a lost. At this point I'm being forced to use other browsers...

hibid.com will not open in Firefox but will open on Edge. I am not using private browser mode. I have manually typed in the username and password / I have closed the window and tried again.

I want to sequester Address Bar Function in the main address area for web address or native locations, from search function contained inside of the window, the search should be only a web search, but I think that part is covered in standard settings, so address. Thanks Much

I keep getting a browser error message on a site that I use almost daily. I have cleared cookies and cache and run the troubleshooter but still get the same message. Thanks.

Hi,

It's been a while since this problem first occurred but I am now very sure that this is about Firefox and not about graphics driver. This happens both when the hardware acceleration is turned on and turned off.

When I open a website that has mainly images or videos, the browser goes blitz (Reddit, Twitch, etc.). Screen splits to multiple views, it starts flickering and continues until I switch to another tab or quit Firefox. For flickering to stop, I need to restart the computer. I can also send a video if you can communicate a proper way of sharing. (Drive link, youtube, etc.)

Is there any way I can ensure Firefox does not break things on my computer?

Thanks

Hello one and all,

For the longest while, FF has been wasting a lot of my time by being non-responsive a lot. Is there anything I can do to eliminate the non-responsiveness?

The other problem that I have experience also on a regular basis when searching is waiting for Google to transfer info to FF.

Years ago, this wasn't the case. I am also hoping that a fix exists to speed up FF.

Thanks for any help I can get to put these two issues behind me.

I know I'm not the first person to report this problem, but the webappsstore.sqlite file in my profile folder is very large, over 85 MB. I don't want to delete it because I don't want to lose my bookmark data, which are stored in this database (I even double-checked this by temporarily moving the database out of my profile folder, basically as if it were "deleted," and started Firefox, and sure enough all my bookmarks' data were gone).

I tried running `sqlite3 vacuum` on it, but that only reduced it to 79 MB. Is there another way to further cleanup old or unimportant data in this database?

If you go to "view", "toolbars", "customize toolbox", you'll see a box titled "search". Problem is, it's worthless. It used to be, you could either search in there using your pre-selected search engine or click on one of the others that are displayed and search using that one. Now, it just sits there taking space. What is the purpose of this? Another thread here titled, "[[Pressing Enter in empty search bar doesn't work anymore|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1452133?page=2#answer-1669039]]", discusses how the search page no longer works either.

If using just the search bar is "a power that be's" version of efficiency, it's not.
