I did clear my cache etc and it did not resolve the issue. When I go to Extensions to run the extension I get the message saying to 'Check "Firefox Windows" for a notification. I did see somewhere in the Community to also check the Settings > Notifications and make sure that Firefox was enabled but Firefox wasn't an option.
HI @icetubMP, this is looking for a notification in another Firefox browser on a Windows device, as part of the Dropbox Passwords security. It won't send a notification on the same browser for security reasons.

Still not getting any notifications. I have two laptops open with firefox, logged into both firefox sessions. I have also opened other firefox browser sessions, not a new tab in an existing firefox browser session, and the same result. I'll just reset the account and if this happens again I'll delete dropbox entirely.
if you have everything correct you should see all of your camera feeds up to 8 cameras if you need to view more you will need to change some of the settings in your Firefox browser to allow it to do so keep in mind that this also depends on your PC as well. to give you guys a guide i have an old dell optiplex 755 duo core 2.6GHZ with 4G of ram and no video card it will run 16 cameras before i run out of CPU (cameras are 1MP)
I do have problems with this crashing on windows ( updates will reek havoc whether you know it or not) it never crashes on Linux ( I have tested it for a year straight never went once) if you want best results you should use a Linux OS instead of windows I would also keep the cameras limited to 50% of your CPU to secure stability.
No browser's windows will open properly, though browsers start, after installing 22.04 64-bit (overwriting 18.04 32-bit that worked fine) on Dell Inspiron 530 4GB/64GB SSD (Core2Duo). Firefox, Chromium, and Google Chrome all behave similarly. Other apps open correctly including LibreOffice writer, file manager, text editor, and terminal (internet works). I tried two different monitors, selecting various display resolutions, with no effect.
Mozilla Firefox, or simply Firefox, is a free and open-source[11] web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. It uses the Gecko rendering engine to display web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards.[12] Firefox is available for Windows 10 or later versions, macOS, and Linux. Its unofficial ports are available for various Unix and Unix-like operating systems, including FreeBSD,[13] OpenBSD,[14] NetBSD,[15] and other platforms. It is also available for Android and iOS. However, as with all other iOS web browsers, the iOS version uses the WebKit layout engine instead of Gecko due to platform requirements. An optimized version is also available on the Amazon Fire TV as one of the two main browsers available with Amazon's Silk Browser.[16]
Firefox is the spiritual successor of Netscape Navigator, as the Mozilla community was created by Netscape in 1998, before its acquisition by AOL.[17] Firefox was created in 2002 under the codename "Phoenix" by members of the Mozilla community who desired a standalone browser rather than the Mozilla Application Suite bundle. During its beta phase, it proved to be popular with its testers and was praised for its speed, security, and add-ons compared to Microsoft's then-dominant Internet Explorer 6. It was released on November 9, 2004,[18] and challenged Internet Explorer's dominance with 60 million downloads within nine months.[19] In November 2017, Firefox began incorporating new technology under the code name "Quantum" to promote parallelism and a more intuitive user interface.[20]
Firefox usage share grew to a peak of 32.21% in November 2009,[21] with Firefox 3.5 overtaking Internet Explorer 7, although not all versions of Internet Explorer as a whole;[22][23] its usage then declined in competition with Google Chrome.[21] As of December 2023[update], according to StatCounter, it had a 6.7% usage share on traditional PCs (i.e. as a desktop browser), making it the fourth-most popular PC web browser after Google Chrome (62%), Safari (13%), and Microsoft Edge (11%).[24][25]
The project began as an experimental branch of the Mozilla project by Dave Hyatt, Joe Hewitt, and Blake Ross. They believed the commercial requirements of Netscape's sponsorship and developer-driven feature creep compromised the utility of the Mozilla browser.[26] To combat what they saw as the Mozilla Suite's software bloat, they created a standalone browser, with which they intended to replace the Mozilla Suite.[27] Version 0.1 was released on September 23, 2002.[28] On April 3, 2003, the Mozilla Organization announced that it planned to change its focus from the Mozilla Suite to Firefox and Thunderbird.[29]
The Firefox project has undergone several name changes.[30] The nascent browser was originally named Phoenix, after the mythical bird that rose triumphantly from the ashes of its dead predecessor (in this case, from the "ashes" of Netscape Navigator, after it was sidelined by Microsoft Internet Explorer in the "First Browser War"). Phoenix was renamed in 2003 due to a trademark claim from Phoenix Technologies. The replacement name, Firebird, provoked an intense response from the Firebird database software project.[31][32] The Mozilla Foundation reassured them that the browser would always bear the name Mozilla Firebird to avoid confusion. After further pressure, Mozilla Firebird became Mozilla Firefox on February 9, 2004.[33] The name Firefox was said to be derived from a nickname of the red panda,[34] which became the mascot for the newly named project.[35] For the abbreviation of Firefox, Mozilla prefers Fx or fx, although it is often abbreviated as FF.[36]
Version 1.0 of Firefox was released on November 9, 2004.[40] This was followed by version 1.5 in November 2005, version 2.0 in October 2006, version 3.0 in June 2008, version 3.5 in June 2009, version 3.6 in January 2010, and version 4.0 in March 2011. From version 5 onwards, the development and release model changed into a "rapid" one; by the end of 2011 the stable release was version 9, and by the end of 2012 it reached version 17.[41]
In 2016, Mozilla announced a project known as Quantum, which sought to improve Firefox's Gecko engine and other components to improve the browser's performance, modernize its architecture, and transition the browser to a multi-process model. These improvements came in the wake of decreasing market share to Google Chrome, as well as concerns that its performance was lapsing in comparison. Despite its improvements, these changes required existing add-ons for Firefox to be made incompatible with newer versions, in favor of a new extension system that is designed to be similar to Chrome and other recent browsers. Firefox 57, which was released in November 2017, was the first version to contain enhancements from Quantum, and has thus been named Firefox Quantum. A Mozilla executive stated that Quantum was the "biggest update" to the browser since version 1.0.[42][43][44] Unresponsive and crashing pages only affect other pages loaded within the same process. While Chrome uses separate processes for each loaded tab, Firefox distributes tabs over four processes by default (since Quantum), in order to balance memory consumption and performance. The process count can be adjusted, where more processes increase performance at the cost of memory, therefore suitable for computers with larger RAM capacity.[45][46]
On May 3, 2019, the expiration of an intermediate signing certificate on Mozilla servers caused Firefox to automatically disable and lock all browser extensions (add-ons).[47][48] Mozilla began the roll-out of a fix shortly thereafter, using their Mozilla Studies component.[47][48]
On June 1, 2021, Firefox's 'Proton' redesign was offered through its stable release channel[50] after being made available in the beta builds.[51] While users were initially allowed to revert to the old design through about:config, the corresponding key-value pairs reportedly stopped working in future builds, resulting in criticism.[52] These included accessibility concerns[53][54] despite Mozilla's claim to "continue to work with the accessibility community"[55] and are continuing issues.[56]
Features of the desktop edition include tabbed browsing, full-screen mode, spell checking, incremental search, smart bookmarks, bookmarking and downloading through drag and drop,[60][61] a download manager, user profile management,[62] private browsing, bookmark tags, bookmark exporting,[63] offline mode,[64] a screenshot tool, web development tools, a "page info" feature which shows a list of page metadata and multimedia items,[65] a configuration menu at about:config for power users, and location-aware browsing (also known as "geolocation") based on a Google service.[66] Firefox has an integrated search system which uses Google by default in most markets.[67][68] DNS over HTTPS is another feature whose default behaviour is determined geographically.[69]
