Firefox Community Forum

I had to uninstalled FireFox because of googletagmanger.com. It was causing me problems with all my websites, favorites, and Proton Mail email.

I tried several times to uninstall and reinstall FireFox, but googletagmanger.com kept still showing until I deleted FireFox and stopped using it.

I only have one place where I can download the iOS FireFox browser app and that is from the Apple Store. If I tried to type it to get it from online, it takes me to the Apple Store. Some day I would like to go back and get the app but the googletagmanger.com would have to be removed.

Almost every time I open Firefox it asks to update. I always say yes. After the update, it can't open any sites. Sometimes I get a message saying Firefox is already open. When I check the Task Manager, there are usually several instances of Firefox open. After ending all open Firefox's, I still can't open sites, it just runs until it times out. If I run a registry cleaner, and delete any bad registry entries, then Firefox will load sites. I feel like my Firefox may be corrupted and entering bad registry code. Is there a 'fix' I can run to correct these errors, or should I delete my Firefox and download a new copy. This problem started a few updates ago. I have the most current copy of Firefox, Version 133.0.3 (64-bit). I am running it on:

Device name LAPTOP-C2UVEEFH Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz Installed RAM 12.0 GB (11.9 GB usable) Device ID A5C7A4A4-F05C-488D-83A2-151AC8C536DC Product ID 00325-80064-27654-AAOEM System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points

Thank you for any suggestions you can give me, Jerre Johnson jerrej1950@verizon.net

I accidentally updated my email site password to the wrong one. Previously, I had the correct one saved in Mozilla, but the wrong one were overwritten and I lost access to my email account. Is it possible to recover the password from before it was overwritten with a new one? I have no other way to get to my email, it was created long time ago and I had no backup email connected to it. You are my only hope to recover it- I checked all other options. Please help my case. Thank you for your time dear support grand master.

New computer, W11, completely updated. The old SATA SSD was removed from old PC, had W10 on it and that had FFx 133.0 installed; successfully transferred the bookmarks to another W10 PC but not the Passwords/logins. Transferred all the information from the Mozilla folder (per Firefox/Mozilla help) to a USB: plugged it into my new computer and did the same transfer of the Places, Key4, logins, and favacons to the new computer: no change. Just finished uninstalling FF and removing the Mozilla file from App Data, then doing a complete reinstall; then added the old places etc. to the new install. Nope, didn't work. So what's going on with FF and W11?? Is there a solution? I have been with Firefox now for over 10 years and have never had these kinds of problems moving my information.

MODERATOR: mark this question as solved, please. I truly don't know what happened or what I did other than what I have listed above, but late last night (12/10) I went to try moving all these things again ----- and they were in place, they had installed etc. I am at a loss as to why all my logins and bkmrks. are now on the new PC, but who am I to question fate, good luck or The Lord.

Help,

I received 2 email today saying:

Your Mozilla account was used to sign in Firefox on Windows 10 Thursday, Dec 12, 2024 3:40:09 AM (+07)

and

Your Mozilla account was used to sign in Wednesday, Dec 11, 2024 10:45:31 PM (CET)

Are these legit? How can I know?

Each say from mozilla.org/firefox

When I search on the NTP or Homepage, the sidebar/tab-bar expands on my left with the different websites search previews. When I use my mouse to click on one of the suggested sites it does not take me to the website, it goes blank. But when I use the keyboard arrows to choose a site then press enter, only then it opens the website.

Hope I made it clear enough?

Thanks,

On various websites (such as Gmail or YouTube) I have three or more accounts. How should I use the Firefox Multi-Account Containers or any other appropriate Firefox feature in order to be able to log into all my different accounts on the same website simultaneously?

I noticed Firefox listening on port 139. Is this normal? I uninstalled reinstalled and it still does it. This is on a windows 10 computer. My windows 11 computer does not show this. On further inspection the PID for the 139 port is system not Firefox.

Active Connections

 Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State           PID

 TCP    192.168.1.144:139      0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING        4

When I have a window maximized and another window behind that one after a couple of minutes or so it will flicker to the front of the maximized window thats in front of it.
