Mozilla Firefox Problems

3 years ago(1) Honestly, I don't even remember why I ever created a mozilla account but I was able to get logged in using my email and the same password that Firefox had remembered.
(2) Firefox is remembering my logins as always. Is there a chance yours is for some reason now clearing cookies when you exit? If it's set to clear cookies you'd have to login each time you restart your browser. (On about all sites, the state of your login is not something the site remembers on its server, it stores a cookie on your computer to indicate if you're logged in)
(3a) See 3b?
(3b) I'm not sure about that one but it might be something in this area:
That's just my preference though. I don't like search suggestions and I only use Google as a search engine.
And this is how I manage history. Again, just my personal preferences. (But using the settings I do, I don't experience the things you are)
I have occasionally regretted clearing browsing history but the last time I allowed it to remember, it caused an esthetic change that I'm sure would bother nobody but me. :) (Visited links greying)

Comments (3)Funny I had a similar problem this week ended up reinstalling it. I think it may have been an add/on issue. If you click start> Programs now look for the Mozilla Firefox Icon left click on it once you will see the option for (Safe Mode) you could try doubling clicking the safe mode option and see if firefox connections work better. Running in the Safe Mode, not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode disables the add/ons in Firefox. Good luck and let us know....See MoreItunes and Mozilla Firefox problem

Comments (12)tig, the same thing I think was happening to me there for a while. I was having a whole lot of problems at the time though...no updated antivirus working 'all' of the time, no firewall, just lacking a lot of good protection and no way to stay on dial-up line long enough to get anything downloaded and working. I eventually got high speed, and protection and things ended up working themselves out. I like you had many pages open at once, and it would shut down...usually giving me a seconds counter counting down b4 it happened. I would just log off, well actually I usually had to press and hold the button on the tower to get away from things. Once I would turn it back on, and log on, it would ask me if I wanted to restore session, to which I replied 'yes' and all the tabs I had open previously would reopen...in time. ok, i know no one sympathizes with me on dialup but that's my life! Oh, but I can empathize...been there...done that...wanted to pull hair out and scream! There was just no other option available for an ISP at the time...so I do understand. " Are you actually reopening the browser for each site, rather than putting them on tabs? It will be quicker just opening a new tab. " Not sure what tabs means. I open a mozilla browser for 1 website and while reading there on that page I open 3 or 4 other websites. So as they load I read at the 1st then I read one of those others as I go to another site at the one I just read. follow that? Just how do you open another website? page? thread? Go to a favorite and right click on it and choose "Open in new window or open in new tab? Go to a forum, and see a message you are interested in reading and then right click on it and choose "Open in new window or open in new tab? Go to file (upper left corner) and left it to click on open new 'window' or open new tab? And then click on a favorite to open in that tab? When you have lots of pages open, does the brief header appear above or below the page you are looking at? If they are 'above' they are tabs. If they are below, they are windows. You can open several tabs in each window. Have I made any sense whatsoever? Sue...who sometimes has 5, 10, or20 'tabs' open or opening at once....See MoreMozilla Urges FireFox Downgrade !
Comments (11)DA said "All-in-all they are so much the same. FF has seemed to have lost some consumer confidence ever since it went to the rapid rate release development a couple of years ago." Agree, agree. Maybe Firefox has lost some QC in the process? I was having random stability problems with Firefox, including whole machine freeze-ups, odd behavior, crashes. Different machines with different users and not all the same Win versions. I deleted Firefox, put Chrome in a prominent position, and all is well. I had no compelling reason to keep it and have found with regular use I like Chrome better. Everyone has a different experience. Android-wise, I just use whatever was bundled with it, it seems fine. I always try to use purpose-built apps more than the browser anyway....See More

3 years agoI'd never paid any attention to permanent private mode but sure enough, that option exists as a custom history setting:
Is "Always use private browsing mode" checked? If so, you may want to uncheck it.
BTW, I'm running Firefox 76.0.1 but it's the Linux version so my screenshots might not look exactly like yours. It should be there though.
