At computer cold boot on windows 11 home pro, Firefox view is open even though it is not in the start menu. It displays a flashy investment type site with a popup "sign up now" window over it. It does not happen on every cold start but does regularly. The site it displays does not show in history before of after it happens. I can find no place on the computer where that site exists, Bitdefender doesn't find anything and neither does Malwarebytes.

Is this something that Firefox did at last update to 132.02 which is when it started happening? Are you now going to have ads all over?

How do I stop this before there is an accidental software install from what looks like a very questionable website.

It was called "Trendview" which an existing website that doesn't have a great reputation and no way to contact them on their website that I can find.

Hi everyone, I'm desperately trying to disable Firefox from starting when my windows starts up. I've tried disabling startup apps.

I've tried setting some settings to false like toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart & browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.disableLaunchOnLoginPrompt and this worked for a while and now it's back to starting with windows.

The box is unticked in menu - settings - Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up. I tried al-sorts of things but I'm still having the same problem

Does anyone have any possible solutions I can try please? At the moment I have a script to end task as I can't find any other solution.

windows 11 24h2 firefox 132.02

I have three devices: my home computer (HC), my Android phone (AP), and the computer in my office (OC).

I want to sync everything between HC and AP. I also want to sync passwords and add-ons between HC and OC, but not bookmarks. These two computers have different bookmarks, and I don't want to mix them.

How can I achieve this?

What?: Using screensharing option in Google Meets stuns computer. Where?: Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) macOS 15.1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Google Meet meeting. 2. Click Share screen. 3. Select "Use operating system settings" - this is the only option available 4. Click Allow. Current behaviour: The screensharing feature stuns the computer, showing the loading mouse cursor for ever. I can't select the screen I want to share. The computer is unusable even after quitting Firefox. The computer should be restarted. Desired behaviour: The screensharing works normally.

Hi. From individual banks to which I would like to log in come in Notes "update your browser". At GMX, the process of registration has been working as figuration very arduously for several weeks. However, my updates are up to date. I had Windows 8 and expanded a few months ago to currently Windows 10. Does it make sense to delete Firefox once and then reload? However, I do not want to make the whole settings anew. Do you have advice? Thank you.!!!!

I keep experiencing this problem with different websites: Safari works, Firefox doesn't.

Sample: I turned out the enhanced tracking protection, Privacy is set to Standard for

https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/default.aspx

I entered valid license numbers (230880, 239798). Firefox displays NOTHING, no error message. Safari displays the relevant info.

Why is this and what should I do if I want to continue using Firefox? Thanks.

For some reason Firefox stopped working with the PlayerLocationCheck App used by the Georgia Lottery. I can still use the https://www.galottery.comweb site by using their phone app or Edge. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Let me know if there is a setting change needed...perhaps hidden. No issues using Firefox with any other sites...pay a lot of bills online. The site response; not authorized.

When I'm typing something in my searchbar which doesn't locate to a direct website. This error appears. It doesn't appear while googleing from the google website. I couldn't find something like mysearchengine on the computer and this seemed to appear out of nowhere. I'm using firefox for half a year now. Do you got any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it?

My PC crashed with a windows upgrade and i'm not able to get my bookmarks back. BEST Buy Geek squad was able to get me back on but what they backed up were old bookmarks not the latest ones i had on my PC

This morning when I turned on the computer igHome, which is our startup page is not loading properly. I have restated the computer several time, logged out and logged back in to igHome. I have reset the number of colums, etc.

Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I was watching videos and I noticed that sometimes my FF freezes when I look at the preview of a video. The computer is working fine since I can tell that it is only the browser "screen" that is freezing and not the whole pc. I can fix that by clicking outside the browser's window, like clicking the taskbar and it goes back to normal, still very annoying. I was able to completely fix the issue by unchecking the option "Use recommended performance settings" and just leaving the option "Use hardware acceleration when available" ON. Now I don't have these random freezes while still being able to use hardware acceleration.

My question is: what are those "recommended performance settings" that FF was using? I can't find any information about them or a list. I know that FF uses my pc specs to determine those settings but I wish I could manually set them by myself. Any ideas? Thanks!
