I am running Unix Ubuntu 22.04 with Firefox 104.0.01 (64 bit). My Canon LBP 6230DW works fine in my word processor and in Chrome, but it does not show up in the Printer destination field when I am in Firefox. The only print option is to "Save as PDF." How do I get the Canon to be a print destination in Firefox?

FireFox keeps putting a .jpg at the end of any file I try to download with .exe as its extension and adds a .jpg, example, when I download QU210InstallFiles.exe it changes it to QU210InstallFiles.exe.jpg and I cannot there for install the program because it has the .jpg added to it and it wants to open in windows media viewer instead. It never use to do this, what have you guys done....uuhhhh, any help would be nice and I thank you. Daniel Goggia

Skysports.com always asks me to select cookie options. Allow or View options and reject. I always choose the second one. The problem is. I can never choose the options. Opera browser, a better browser than this one, shows the options and allows me to choose. Sky just shows the same box every single page and I have to go through the same sequence every time.

Getting sick of FireFox, I want to search from the GOOGLE SEARCH BAR, not the address bar, but the settings don't work you can choose to have the search bar next to the address bar, but it doesn't work, the google search bar doesn't work either, no matter what setting, your search ends up in the address bar, with all the updates, they don't fix crap on here, when someone makes a complaint, FIX THE CRAP, I don't need to ask 100 people why it wont work, just FIX IT!!

I did a full reinstall of my Firefox browser because of a problem where it couldn't load some youtube diy videos (that did load in another browser). Before the reinstall I made bookmark and saved logins backups. No problems with backup/restore of bookmarks.

Exporting saved logins works perfectly and I get a readable csv file , but importing simply doesn't work. First of all the import feature was disabled by default (?). After making the change in the settings and restarting Firefox I see the 'import from file' option in the password manager.Big dissapointment however when you click the 'import from file' option and select the exported csv file because nothing happens ! No error, no result,nothing ! I tried several csv files from earlier backups but none work. Google on the other hand can import all of my csv's without any problem ! Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.

So I can not play audio from any website in firefox. I updated, refreshed, used troubleshoot mode, and unistall & reinstalled. Nothing works. I know it is not my PC because the sound works on every other app, just firefox wont play audio PLEASE HELP

When playing videos, specifically on YouTube, I can see some blocky/pixelated sections in video playback.

Issue is not present on Chromium-based browsers, I've tested in Vivaldi and Chrome. Both are using dav1d.

When AV1 is disabled through "about:config" the issue is gone, but then I face a stuttering problem.

This are my laptop's specs:

My System Mechanic malware search system has quarantined a virus located in two Firefox locations: Virus is W32/Trojan.YZST-9002 LOCATE IN: C:/PROGRAM FILES/MOZILLA FIREFOX/UNINSTALL/HELPER.EXE C:/PROGRAMFILES/MOZILLA FIREFOX/MAINTENANCE SERVICES_UNINSTALL... I will use the delete process and remove them and watch for future loads.

I'm a gamer and alt+tab considerably often. Most of the time I end up on FireFox because I need to look at a map or browse reddit while I'm in queue. However, whenever I alt+tab frequently a bookmark will get selected as if I am clicking and dragging. The bookmarks on the bookmark tool bar always end up in different places. Is there a way to lock these links in place so I can't move them or do I have to resign myself to fixing it every day?

The fonts are weird for some pages. I have used the following settings: Fonts for: latin, Proportional: Serif, Serif: Default(DejaVu Serif), Sans-serif: Default(DejaVu Sans), Monospace: Default(DejaVu Sans Mono). Also I have checked the box "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above".

Need help to fix the issue!

My new Windows 11 laptop forces me to use the "Mail" app to forward links by email using the "email a link to this page" utility feature in the Firefox toolbar Prior to this, my old laptop would just use Outlook which was quicker/better.

The multi-step method using Mail was cumbersome so in trying to designate Outlook as the sending vehicle over Mail, I designated a non-performing solution which is now preventing me from emailing links (and captured webpage info) at all. I would like to migrate back to Mail or find the correct choice for Outlook but the "email a link to this page" in the Firefox toolbar does not work now as a result of my poor choice.

Anyone know how to fix this? I have "restored factory defaults" and other on the toolbar features but does not help. This was apparently an unrevocable choice.

I found that the accounts of the domain name account.com.cn and account.com do not seem to communicate with each other, which will affect the information synchronization of different devices.

www.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR www.facebook.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Hi, This occurred after a moment of power loss during a thunderstorm on my Lenovo desktop. All my other sites as far as i can tell are ok. I used Edge and was able to access FB and Google on Desktop] i checked and the current version of firefox is installed on desktop

even weirder, i can access both google and FB on my laptop with firefox. I've tried syncing the two with having bookmarks etc. i can sync from laptop to desktop but not vise versa.

i thought I'd uninstall and reinstall firefox but i don't want to lose any info esp my Bookmarks on the Desktop hence why i was trying to sync the two.

My desktop is older, maybe 5-6 years, my laptop is 1 year old. Dunno if this matters. thanks, Jan

When I use the firefox 104.0.1 pdf viewer to print shipping labels they look fine in the preview but when I print them the barcodes are missing all the small lines and where it says P or F up in the top left box it just prints some block looking thing. Prints fine from Adobe or Preview. Mac Big Sur .

Only for some selected websites. I get this on Lowes.com too

Hello, all:

I thought I could try posting here about finding a reliable tab management extension for Firefox or a program so I can sync the open pinned tabs I have on my laptops and phone with each other so I can be sure to refer to certain tabs when I'm not home or something outside of trying different extensions to see if it'll be done. That way, I can know I can be able to refer to what I need to find rather than having to go home to look on my laptop if I'm not home or something. Thank you in advance if you reply to this.

Hi. I have an older computer from 2007 with Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit fully updated on it, as well as an Intel Pentium M 2.3 GHz, 2 GB RAM, and an ATI Mobility Radeon X600 with the most recent Windows Update driver, which is 8.561.0.0 from Dec 1st 2008. I also have "DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)" installed (had it before, and just reinstalled it anyway). And as I said, it's fully updated, meaning it also has the DirectX 11.1 update installed.

I installed the newest Firefox on it, and going on `about:support`, Hardware Acceleration tells me it's available by default but it's not working anyway (either "unavailable by runtime" or "failed by runtime", saying either that WebRender failed initializing, or that it failed acquiring a D3D11 device, and no idea why, because I think I just reinstalled it with the Microsoft DX installed from their download pages(?).

What does that mean? How can I fix this and get it to work? I could really use HW acceleration on this old thing. I've already disabled disk cache, and now the only issue is the high CPU bottleneck on it if I watch a video or do other rather intensive thing (even though the video is at 360p). [By the way, congratulations, this is the fastest browser I've found, and disabling disk cache and changing memory cache capacity are really very useful options, so thank you so much].

Does it help if I saw dxdiag says there was a problem with DirectShow, even though if I ignore the error, DirectShow, Direct3D and APG textures are still "Activated"? (If I don't ignore the error, dxdiag crashes)

I can provide any other required information. Thank you.
