This issue is about two executables in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox:

• firefox.exe, which starts Firefox, and
• private_browsing.exe, which starts Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

If you start firefox.exe while private_browsing.exe is running, it restores the last session. I have been experiencing this issue for about a year.

Steps to reproduce:

• Start firefox.exe.
• Open x.com instead of your home page, and xe.com on a second tab.
• Exit Firefox (Alt+F4).
• Start private_browsing.exe.
• Start firefox.exe.
• Actual result: Three tabs are opened: x.com, xe.com, and your home page.
• Expected result: only your home page is opened.

Can anybody confirm the bug? Will there be a fix for this?

So I'm getting the reset error code on only my twitch and YouTube tabs, now I have no add ons, I tried the cert9 file thing and that didn't work. I tried resetting my cache and that does not work for me, the issue is it's only for those 2 websites, everything else works just fine. I have tried a different profile that didn't work, I tried resetting Firefox and that didn't work, I tried resetting the router that also didn't work at all. I tried the troubleshooting firefox and same result, I'm in the original firefox, or rather not the troubleshoot one. I also tried signing out of my firefox account, that also did not work, and so I'm stuck on how I can get back my tabs that arent opening. Also I did try opening them as new tabs but they didnt work as well.

IDK what topic this is! When I close tabs but later restart the browser or come out of "sleep" - they are repoened. I'm not talking about the ones I left open. I closed them and they don't stay that way. They insert themselves into their original positions as if I had told them to reopen, and accumulate. I want them gone please :O( This has been going on for years.

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.

On my mobile browser, the radar widget does not work on the weather.com website. See https://weather.com/en-CA/weather/radar/interactive/l/9613594132b3fb75bbae4e6476285f698f6b0625b56caabf7ea908841ffb5289?traffic_source=footerNav_Radar

I have used Mozilla for a long time as my default web browser. Note: This page works on Chrome browser.

When I open Firefox it opens a maximized window with tabs, then it opens a minimized with a single tab, then it reopens a maximized window with all session tabs. Each window displays in succession, one window at a time.

I'm on desktop using Windows 11.

I just read a post saying this behavior was caused by the resist fingerprinting feature. Can someone explain how that causes the repeated opening of browser window 3 times. Is there a way to retain the anti-fingerprinting behavior w/o the multiple window opening behavior?

I use linux mint older version, with firefox latest versions. A problem has been developing where after clicking a search link, a page pops up warning of possible phishing site. usually i clicked proceed and was taken to the website, but now am taken to a blank page or 404"cannot be found." Of course the page exists but i cannot get there. the url is a smartredirect.de... always. How do I get rid of this redirect app?

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
