Download [VERIFIED] Firefox For Windows
Artemisa Sommers
Firefox has been awesome. But, my computer just updated to windows 11 and now it doesn't work. Sometimes I try to open the browser and nothing happens (but I somehow end up with something like 7 instances of it running in the background, according to task manager), sometimes I get it to open, but it won't load my homepage or anything, and sometimes it seems to work fine but only for a little while - then it just stops responding.
When I open this second window, sometimes I close my main window (it has quite a few tabs so it slows Firefox down). I then always reopen it using Ctrl+Shift+N and never had a problem. Well, I closed it now (then opened one or two other new windows), but when I wanted to reopen my main window back up, it just refused to. It's gone from "recently closed windows". Interestingly enough, at least two other windows I closed BEFORE it (one from yesterday, that I did unrelated googling in; the other was closed a couple minutes before the main window, it was an emoticon set that pops up from one forum) were possible to reopen, but not my main window. Now I can reopen just 3 windows, and I don't understand where they are (there used to be up to 10 or so).
I want to know why I was able to reopen windows I closed long ago, but not the most recent one, and whether there is a way to fix this and get the main window back. I have effectively lost 40 tabs that I had open (some research articles, pinned social media, some stuff I wanted to read etc.) that I can't even reopen unless I find them through my History (and hoo boy, that'd take a while).
SOLVED - EDIT: The amount of windows that can be reopened can be fixed as mentioned below. Lost window probably cannot be restored, sadly.EDIT 2: Actually it can be restored! See the answer to find out how. Both these lovely people gave me answers to my questions, kudos to both of them.
There is are pref that you can find on the about:config page that set how many tabs and how many windows you can undo.
The default for tabs has been increased some releases ago to 25, but the default for windows is only 3 and you can increase its value to something that works for you.
As long as I have a single window open for each application, it's fine. However, as soon as I have multiple windows, there's not really any way to distinguish them other than the Window title, which is often brittle.
My primary frustration at the moment is Firefox, as I often have a primary browser window, a second browser window for development and several other windows in "kiosk mode" for web applications such as Notion, Whatsapp, YouTube and so on.
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.
I have many Firefox windows open and want to merge 2 of them. So far Web searches merely turn up extensions like these (1, 2) which seem to merge all windows. I have been looking at the API docs but can't figure out how to use these functions from the script console (it says "ReferenceError: browser is not defined").
First of all the shortcuts for firefox in ubuntu an d windows are a lot different (*example for downloads in ubuntu the shortcut is ctrl+shift+y)you should refer for documentation in ubuntu firefox help menu or use internet resources
Private windows in Firefox 113.0 now offer better protection by blocking third-party cookies and storage of content trackers. This ensures a more secure browsing experience for users who value their privacy and want to keep their online activities discreet.
For releases of Firefox 89.0 and earlier Marionette will only be enabled in
GeckoView based applications when the Firefox preference
devtools.debugger.remote-enabled is set to true via
moz:firefoxOptions.

Open Webroot "Application Protection" module. Find list of Applications > firefox.exe and chrome.exe. Move Protection bullet at firefox.exe from "Protect" to "Allow" and launch Firefox.
Same with chrome.exe and launch Chrome.
I implemented the solution above, but the issue maintain. On gmail tool the message as the print below presents after 5 minutes. I got the same error using whatsapp web, when the messages not updated after 5 minutes on the tool. When I close firefox and reopen all tools come to work again, but 5 minutes later the same problem occurs.
I am trying to make a seemingly simple workflow but the solution is evading me. I already use a workflow that opens a new window of safari in the current desktop, regardless of whether there are already open safari windows or not. It is a pretty simple 'run this script with this keyword' type workflow, and the script I use for safari is:
Replicating this with firefox used instead does not seem to get the results I want, and I have tried multiple variations to no avail: make new window instead of document, tell firefox to activate first, etc. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
Yeah I did read through that, but even if the scriptability of firefox is fairly limited, I feel like the task I mentioned should still be doable. I have gotten variations of it to work (open new window if firefox is already active, etc.). I appreciate the response
Of course, I wonder how running multiple, separate instances of Firefox will affect this, as I can't predict whether AppleScript will send the get windows command to all Firefox instances or just one (and, if so, which one?).
