For the past month or two, at random times when I open Firefox, I see a message stating, "Looks like you reinstalled Firefox." To be clear I have not uninstalled Firefox in any instance where this message has been displayed.

When this happens, I’m unable to browse the web. To resolve the issue, I have to remove the uBlock Origin extension and reinstall it. Once I’ve done that, browsing returns to normal. However, I then need to reconfigure my filters and adjust settings within FireFox

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that would prevent this issue, but it hasn’t worked.

This problem is specific to my PC—it has never occurred on my MacBook.

Any assistance in understanding why this happens and how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Several weeks ago, I was attempting to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. In the process, I deleted Firefox (using Revo Uninstaller) and then reinstalled it, downloading it from the Mozilla website. Unfortunately, it didn’t run, giving me, at different attempts, different error messages. In the time since then, I have read many suggestions from many different websites and I have tried some of these suggestions, all with no success – until today. I have just completed the suggestions made on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1327628 and Firefox is now back, working. I am happy and grateful, but not finished. None of my personal data came with the currently functioning version of Firefox. Since the re-emergence of Firefox, I have been reading several websites dealing with copy, backup and restore of my Firefox profile. Right now, the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ shows 5 folders: Two of the folders show 11/11/24 as the date modified (probably the date of the download from Mozilla). The folder 0dppjrfa.default contains one file, times.json, dated 8/11/2020. The other folder, ru82tlj5.default-release, has 97 items, most dated 11/11/2024. The remaining three folders are all dated 12/2/24 (today, as I write this). One folder’s name ends .default, the second name ends .default-release, and the third name ends .default-release-thirteen digits. The question that I am asking here is what do I do next to, hopefully, bring back the personal date I had with Firefox before my updating to Windows 11. Should I delete the folders dated 12/2/24? What, if anything, is the significance of the folder whose name ends in 13 digits? I’m hoping someone will be able to tell me how to fix these Firefox problems. And if I can, then I hope to be able to do something similar to help me bring back Thunderbird as well. Thunderbird became unfunctioning at the same time as Firefox. Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

ever since the latest Firefox update, the "read more" feature on LinkedIn pages (personal pages, not the feed) does not show up anymore, at least not for me - the feature allows you to expand the various subsections to read their full content.

I opened LinkedIn on Chrome and Edge to see if it is indeed a browser issue, and it's working fine over there. I also did some troubleshooting (refreshing, clearing cache), but to no avail.

Does anybody else have the same problem?

Thank you!

I have been using the Firefox browser for years on the exact same computer running windows 8.1 that isn't having any issues or problems. Over the last 6 months the browser has been crashing every single day regardless of utilizing every setting mentioned in the help articles, numerous "refreshes" (numerous times it also freezes during refresh) and numerous reinstalls have done nothing. Every single day the browser crashes and I have to restart it or my whole computer. This is my last attempt to figure out what's happening before I stop ever using it again.

I've been having issues with Cross-Origin Request Blocked errors for a while now. I'm on Windows 11. I first noticed this issue when visiting YouTube. I would go to play a video and any video I tried to play would just load forever and never play. Then I noticed I was having the same issue on Facebook. The page would load but then a majority of the images wouldn't. I can use YouTube and Facebook just fine on Chrome. The reason for the error shows as "CORS request did not succeed". Initially I tried uninstalling all of my extensions. Then I completely uninstalled Firefox using Total Uninstall (for good measure). Nothing has worked. I'm not sure what changed that would cause these errors. Could this be a network issue? I've been having issues with certain sites on my Macbook Air as well (Chrome and Safari) but I thought maybe that was because it's pretty old and not supported by apple anymore.

Hi, recently I encountered a werid popping sound while listining to music on YT. Firstly as I wanted to change my old DAC I swichted to a new one (every reason to buy new stuff is good), but now it is unberable. I spend some hours trying to figure out, watching tutorials etc. disabling all the stuff from device manager, checking if fast boot option is disabled, rolled back drivers, swithed to USB 2.0, disabled all of the extentions etc. etc. (the sound popping was only in youtube, but I figured maybe its due to my hardware or something). However, I found out that clearning cashe works for a couple of minutes, and browsing on incognito tab also works for some time. This leads me to belive that maybe a new updated is somehow messing it up, or google really wants me to use chrome. Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks

Newly restored Lenovo factory image. 2 pieces 3rd party sw: Atlas (v0.4.1 9Oct2024) and Firefox 133.0. Windows 10 22H2, no updates pending, Edge / Cortana / CoPilot removed (by Atlas).

FF sync account is recognized, sends auth code to email, when enter code, get the: "Bad Request Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." at each attempt.

Oddly, I have 2FA enabled, and have not been queried for its code. Perhaps that is where process is failing?

Another Lenovo machine, M710Q 1TB 16GB Windows 22H2 with Atlas, Firefox 133.0 and a slew of 3rd party software and updates is running just fine. Am able to sync / manipulate account as needed, FF Relay, etc.

Suggestions / tips before I nuke the M920Q and start from scratch again?

A while back I noticed that my google calendar no longer sends reminders to my gmail (or rather, I suspect, gmail does not receive them). Yesterday I missed an important meeting because of this, so I want to get to the bottom of it. I verified that the reminders are properly set in my calendar, so I have to assume that they are going out. The pop-up windows do pop, so I assume that it is not on the calendar side. I also noted that calendar.google.com and gmail.google.com have the proper permissions to send pop-ups and notifications to gmail, which indicates to me that this end of the equation is working. (Don't know how to isolate the error further, though.) It seems that the Firefox settings need to be changed somehow. Any ideas?

Thank you!

I'm setting up a new Mac with Sonoma 14.7.1. with Firefox 133.0 (UK English).

Normally my basic zoom setting is 133% with the 'zoom text only' box UNchecked. This has always worked in the past but the settings no long 'stick' and need a reset every time Firefox is restarted.

Firefox is installed in the admin account and I'm running as user, although this has not been a problem in the past.

Is this a known bug or is there a workround for it? All help & suggestions appreciated.
