All of a sudden the javascript capabilities in my Firefox browser have stopped. Yes.. Enable Javascript has been checked.

It is really annoying since quite a few websites use javascript to open a new custom-sized window.

Also, Firefox doesn't always start-up the first time for me anymore.

Usually when I first double-click on the icon I have to go to task manager and end the task because the browser doesn't open!

The second time the browser window will load up, but will often be a blank window that doesn't load my homepage.. and will not load any page for that matter!

Soooo I close out of it and click on the icon a third time. This time it will work like it should.

I don't know what is wrong. One day it just started doing this.

Haven't changed any settings in awhile.

TIA,

-Quickstrike

I would try deleting the XUL.mfl file in the profile, it stores UI data and may be corrupted. It will rebuild on relaunch.

Failing that, it may be time to bite the bullet and nuke your profile-save critical files like bookmarks.html, cookies.txt....etc and just delete the entire Firefox folder in AppData\Mozilla.

Relaunch and it will also rebuild.

    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
