Hi, I have a brand new macbook air and wanted to install my preferred browser, Firefox, but after installation Firefox will not launch. I’ve tried to install version 133.0.3 and when I try to launch it, Firefox always freezes and show 'Firefox (not responding)'. I have restarted my mac, reinstalled Sequoia OS, uninstalled/redownloaded/reinstalled, and I cannot get Firefox to launch, ever. Safari (built in) and DuckDuckGo (new install) browser both work.

Please let me know what I can try to do to get Firefox working.

Firefox.exe opens last session while private_browsing.exe is running

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?

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.

i am trying to play a game on cool math games and the game keeps hanging. i also have issues on another site where the video player indefinitely loads. and yes i have cleared cookies and site data, disabled all extensions, started firefox in troubleshot mode, disabled hardware acceleration. but the only thing that fixes the issue is using another browser.

how to reproduce

1: go to this url: https://www.coolmathgames.com/0-jacksmith 2: load the game and start a save 3: skip or wait through the dialog (i did both) 4: when the dialog ends you should be stuck with a folded piece of paper on the side of the screen when the animation froze. loading the save will also cause a freeze

Every so often for the past few days this "unfinished" program window has appeared on my pc on top of a normal Firefox window (see attached png). Does this have something to do with Firefox? I think the same thing appears when I first open Firefox, then it gets "filled in" and appears as a normal Firefox window. I am running Firefox 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 build 19045.5247 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0.

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!

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.
