Firefox Community Forum

I would like to be able set a keyboard shortcut to automatically toggle the option "always ask you where to save files" on and off. At times, I am downloading a lot of pdf files from the Internet and these can all go into the downloads folder. However, I also need to frequently download pdf files and customize them before the download.

When I access the website of UGC ( https://www.ugc.fr/ ) the access page opens up but immediately freezes: the screen luminosity decreases and the pointer cease to function: I cannot acces any of the options: select movies on show, select cinema programmes or schedule, open my UGC account to reserve performances ... Nothing works ... I have tried to reduceprotecton, etc as sugested on Forum and other suggestions: nothing works. I have no problem at all when I open the same website with Opera or with Microsoft Edge ... Why it does not work under Firefox puzzles me. Can you do something about it ? I use Firefox as my defaut internet access without problems for everything else ! This is really strange and most annoying. Thanks for your help.

I cannot find Firefox About - Help because I don’t see the toolbar that is supposed to contain the About button.

I am using Firefox 147.2.1 (67326) on an iPhone 13 Pro 26.2.1

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, all experienced peoples are here I got strange issue with firefox lately. my site sometimes https://avsogirl.net/ not loads at all, just shows “server not found” look at the image.

i first thought maybe server down, but i checked with curl and ping, server responds fine. also tested same site in chrome and edge, loads normal there, no error. i tried clearing cache, disabling addons, even fresh profile. still same. only firefox gives this dns error.

i use dns-over-https in firefox, and i also have proxy config for work. maybe firefox handling dns/proxy different? when i switch off doh, sometimes page loads, sometimes not. so looks like firefox network stack problem, not site issue. anyone else facing same error?

I’m seeing a layout and font spacing issue in Firefox that doesn’t appear in Chrome or Edge. The page loads, but some elements shift after render and text spacing looks off.

I’ve tested in a private window, disabled extensions, and cleared cache, so it doesn’t seem profile-related. Any suggestions on what Firefox settings or DevTools checks might help?

Page where the issue is reproducible: dbrosmenu.com Thanks.

thank you for your time & expertise:) Can you please help me understand what would happen if firefox stops supporting windows 7 users. Will i still be able to use the browser - just with less security? I will probably have to give up using a computer if I cant continue with Windows 7 so I'd even be prepared to pay an annual fee to keep the support going. Look forward to hearing from you, thanks Julie

Hi,

Unable to copy text from Firefox browser. This includes copying from the body of a webpage, webpage URL in the address bar and "about:support" Troubleshooting information.

Behaviour: When copying the selected text, nothing is pasted. When cutting the text, (text is removed where possible ie address bar, or text fields), nothing is pasted.

I am able to paste from a different program into Firefox ie from Notepad to Firefox.

Attempted fix: I have tried refreshing Firefox. Problem persists.

Please assist.

I searched how to disable any random new AI features Firefox was about to cram into the browser.

I was served this support page that says I can "Block new and current AI features (single switch)"

Simply, the described feature to disable AI features isn't in the settings. I've look and tried searching for "Block AI enhancements" & "AI controls" but no luck.

Please tell me they haven't given the writing of support pages to some shitty LLM.

Before installing recent update (115.32.0 esr) I had no problems to print to Brother MFC-7360 printer or Save to PDF; now, neither of these selections will perform their function. I have tested the printer and can print a Windows Printer Test Page ; I can also print using Windows Reader. Please advise what I can do to correct this issue with the latest version of FireFox 115.32.0 esr. I even tried the "clear saved print settings" in the "more trouble shooting information" ; "printer"; "troubleshooting"; I don't think that did anything.

Thank you.

They play for a couple of seconds, then the panel they are playing in goes black. They used to work a month or two ago. Videos play fine in YouTube. They also play fine in apps like VideoPlayer and VLC. They play fine in Chromium based browsers Opera, Brave and Vivaldi. My graphics card requires switching acceleration off. I can’t find a switch for that in Firefox.

Problem Videos start playing, then after a few seconds the video panel turns black. Audio may continue. Refreshing does not help.

Environment

   OS: Fedora Linux 43
   Firefox 147.0.1 (also tested Firefox Flatpak)
   Display server: Wayland and X11 (both tested)
   Hardware acceleration: on and off (tested)
   Media Source Extensions: enabled (disabling MSE triggers an “unsupported device” error)

What works

   BBC News videos play correctly in Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Vivaldi)
   Videos play correctly in mpv/VLC
   Other video sites (e.g., YouTube) play correctly in Firefox

What I’ve tried in Firefox

   Disabling hardware acceleration
   Disabling VA-API
   Disabling WebRender
   Disabling RDD sandbox
   Running Firefox under X11
   Using the Firefox Flatpak build

None of these measures help. This suggests the issue is related to Firefox’s interaction with BBC’s player on Linux. Has anyone else seen this, or is there a known workaround?

I manually added shortcuts to my home screen, but everytime I open the browser, the system automatically has added shortcuts I don't want. Also, when I delete these unwanted shortcuts, another unwanted one appears.

how can I stop this from happening?

Hi All:

I just got a new laptop and so I am getting everything set up the way that I like it. I have come across a problem with my sidebar though. I like to keep my bookmarks up all the time, but I want them to not be too wide and take up a lot of my screen. On this new computer, there's an addition 5 cms or so of white space at the far left of the tool bar. It had different buttons on it up at the top (one of them had something to do with AI) and a little gear down at the bottom of the space. I was able to remove all of the buttons up at the top, but I can't seem to hide the whole thing. I just want to see my bookmarks, without that extra customization sidebar. Is there a way to hide the spot highlighted in pink, but still have the bookmarks visible?

I have an account for standard support release versions, I am now using extended support release version 140.7.0 and a popup notification keeps nagging me to make a new profile. How do I do this?

Hello,

I'm unable to find the sync bookmarks,

I'm trying for a long time, in my iPhone and MacBook, both Apps are the latest, using the same email and the Bookmarks do not show in any of the devises.

Can you please help me?
