Firefox Community Forum

Every document like the below one does not display in firefox esr 115:

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=c01081836&docLocale=en_US

I get an empty pdf viewer frame. Also the debugger shows the following error;

Uncaught TypeError: Promise.withResolvers is not a function

Is there some way to overcome this problem? a future release of firefox esr?

All of my addons are disabled and won't re-enable!

They all say "addon name" could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled. See attachment clipboard00.jpg

If I try to install an addon from the recommended extensions settings (for example "return youtube dislike ") I get a message bubble stating "The Addon downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. {OK!}" See attachment clipboard01.jpg

The message above about addons appearing to be corrupt happens if I go to any of my current addon pages and try to redownload them.

I require some add-ons for accessibility, which you abruptly disabled today due to "could not be verified". Also, all my other add-ons were disabled for the same reason - see attached. I read "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-cause-issues-are-on-blocklist", which doesn't answer my questions. If you can't explain specifically why you did this, or tell me how to override your blocks, I'll uninstall Firefox from all my platforms!

Hi, all,

I've searched but haven't found an answer that leaves me comfortable with how to address my question(s). Hoping someone here can help. While trying to update Firefox FROM version 115.0.3 TO version 115.12.0esr I ran into some problems that prevented me from using/adding bookmarks. While I believe I've solved the problems, I found the following info worth questioning.

By selecting Firefox's "Application Menu->Help->More Troubleshooting Information->Profile Folder->Open Folder" I find that I have:

• 10,000 AlternativeServices files as text documents
• 312 'serviceworker' files as text documents, and
• 3,134 'SiteSecurityState' files as text documents.

I'm wondering if I need them? Doubt that I do, but 'fresh eyes' seldom hurt. Can I delete them all without harm or data loss?

This is on a Gateway P-7811FX laptop, (yes, a bit old, but it was a workhorse in its day and still works well), with IntelCore2 Duo CPU @ 2.26 GHz 2.27GHz running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) with 8 GB of memory

Hoping someone here can provide help or insight that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and consideration. Denis

Hi Was told to ask new question off of this tread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1314940#question-reply

I have similar issue. Have file that has all the tab history, but can't get Firefox to recognize or use it. The scrounger pulls up everything so the file is good it seems.

Why can't, or how do we get Firefox to use it?

Thank you

Hi,

just for understanding:

Why can the Firefox source code (view-source) of a website be nearly three times the size compared with Chrome/Opera or when I save the Firefox source code marked and copied and then pasted and saved via an editor?

Example: Firefox 546,6 KiB Chrome/Opera 204,3 KiB via Editor 204,3 KiB (marked and copied Firefox source code)

Best

Recently, when I load a web page in Firefox, it frequently doesn't load the hyperlinks. They just appear as plain text, and I can't click on them.

This doesn't happen in Chrome or Edge.

I'm using Firefox 115.15.0 ESR on one computer, and whatever the latest regular (non-ESR) version is on another. Both are Windows computers. It seems to happen more often if I start scrolling on the web page before it's fully loaded (but this wasn't a problem until a couple months ago).

If I reload the page, the hyperlinks usually work, but sometimes I have to reload twice.

This is the first thing that's ever made me think of switching to another browser since I started using Firefox years ago.

Any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?

As Firefox no longer supports windows 8, I have downloaded and installed Firefox ESR 64-bit. I can open my banking site but the site does not show a log in button. I had no trouble with this site last week. I can access my log in details on my mobile. Can this be fixed

Contrast disappears when I klick 'Login' eg. on 'https://www.elektor.de/'; other browsers are ok. AdGuard on or off makes no difference. Kind Regards [removed email from public]

I have not been able to connect to www.paperbackswap.com for 2 days using Firefox. I get this message - The page isn’t redirecting properly-An error occurred during a connection to www.paperbackswap.com. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. This is a persistent problem happening every few days. I have sent messages before to PBS and Firefox with no response. I have cleared cookies and added PBS to Firefox as a site to always accept cookies. I can access the site using Chrome but I would prefer Firefox. Is there anything that can be done?

I realize Facebook doesn't have a spell check feature,but is there a way my browser, Firefox, which I already have spell check enabled can somehow spell check Facebook when I chat? Can someone help? Thank you.

I joined a couple facebook groups. Each offered a file tab with documents available for download.

I tried numerous times with firefox and it failed. Clicking the "Download" item on the ... menu caused the same files tab view and list to open in a new tab.

I hated to do it, but I dusted off M$ Internet Explorer, logged into FB and joined a group, clicked the Files tab, selected a file, clicked the 3 dots, menu popped up and I clicked "Download". Poof. The Save As popup appeared, the file was downloaded. Works as expected with IE.

Might there be a setting in FF that is blocking such downloads of PDF and .doc document files?

I just tried to open Firefox and got the message "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem". DO NOT redirect to this link

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?as=u&utm_source=inproduct&redirectslug=The+bookmarks+and+history+system+will+not+be+functional&redirectlocale=en-US

It is useless. I tried to restore 3953 items from a previous back up and received the message "Unable to process the backup file".

I am not interested in hearing how to prevent this problem in the future, because obviously creating backups do not work.

How do I check to see if the problem was caused by security software, even though I have not added anything?

I've disabled all of my addons, cleared cache, and still youtube is broken for me. It works fine with Chrome still. Any ideas on how to fix? See attched screenshot.
