Firefox Community Forum

Greetings!

I have a few questions if you'd be willing to answer.

There have been some changes and new additions to the croatian dictionary (https://github.com/krunose/hunspell-hr) and as such, the Firefox dictionary could be updated.

Can you confirm that the dictionaries and language packs are separate additions and that the dictionaries are used for spellchecking? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

When is the spellcheck dictionary installed, only when the user installs it or when the user installs a language pack?

In addition, the croatian dictionary has not been active for the past eight years. Maintainer of the current hunspell-hr dictionary has said that person behind the croatian dictionary extension has not responded for several years. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/croatian-dictionary/ https://github.com/akoncic/mozillacroatiandictionary

What are your suggestions how to handel the situation? There is already a fork of the extension that is used as a pull request but has not been merged for years. https://github.com/krunose/mozillacroatiandictionary

Thank you for your understanding.

Have a wonderful rest of the day.

... click on (eg.) 'Interactive Map' and nothing happens, at least not here. Chromium has no problem.

How do I keep my online banking private when using Firefox as my browser? When using Google Chrome as my browser, I use incognito, but I'm changing to Firefox and need to know that my online banking is safe.

Where is a link, icon, or ANY WAY to add a shortcut site to my Ubuntu FF **DESKTOP** homescreen?

I already have 4 rows (since 2013 over many Linux laptops. Ubuntu, Mint, popOS, and now Ubuntu 26.04 LTS).

There is room in the fourth row for a few more. BUT I don't see any icon or link or right-click option to add another!

Phrasing the article search various ways gets me a lot of unrelated stuff.

EVERY help article, of which there are few, seems to have a BIG-ASSumption that everyone is using mobile Firefox.

NO! NO three dots. No right click brings up anything. NOTHING in settings. I've been through everything in the 3-bar menu, and there is NOTHING. (I already use it to sync, go to OTHER settings, go to help, etc.)

This is a day after an update, though I don't know how that affects it.

Usually if I forget how I did something, I just explore and find it. BUT --

My way of adding new shortcuts seems to be GONE.

I play https://crazyshooters.com/ and https://crazyshooters2.com/ a lot! But the game became laggy since Firefox 148 and my ping spikes up. Other browsers play fine. I am on Linux Mint if that helps. (147 and below run fine)

Media resource could not be decoded, error: Error Code: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_DECODE_ERR (0x806e0004) Details: virtual mozilla::MediaResult mozilla::FFmpegVideoDecoder<62>::DoDecode(mozilla::MediaRawData*, uint8_t*, int, bool*, mozilla::MediaDataDecoder::DecodedData&): avcodec_send_packet error: Unknown error occurred

I was in the middle of setting up a secondary profile with sync when the browser froze and became unresponsive for a few minutes. I killed the task and reopened the profile, it lacked the theme color I'd chosen and sync was not enabled. When trying to enable sync, I got the error message shown in the screenshot. To be clear, the profile it's asking me to switch to 'is' the profile I'm in. I've tried deleting the profile and the associated files from About:Profiles, but this issue persists.

I've also followed the steps contained in this issue and associated issues, but the profileID already matches: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1581151

How can I resolve this so that I can sync this profile?

In a Private tab in strict mode (on Linux), I log into my Google account, then log out, clear all the cookies and cached data (Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> tick all the boxes and clear everything), open a new private tab, go to the gmail website and it still remembers my account. However, if I quit Firefox and re-open it, then Google no longer remembers the account.

What information is deleted when I quit Firefox that is not deleted when I manually clear the cookies/cache/local data? Does anyone know why Google can still remember my account when I manually clear all the browsing data but not after I quit Firefox?

Thank you!

linux, firefox, and duck duck go search engine---i want to stop picture in a picture. include every instruction like if i am to use the address bar, where do i find that?

so i installed the atarashii extension, but it didn't work for me, so i deleted it, then rebooted my pc to notice that it's running, and i can't unistall it, i disabled it but for some reason it still works

so when I'm watching a video in a diff tab then navigate to a new tab, what appears to happen is a search box attached to the previous tab pops in that I cannot type into, but clicking the "go back to active tab" button in the seach box brings me back to my previous tab. pretty annoying and would like to figure out what the heck is doin this

Please provide clear, step-by-step troubleshooting instructions to identify the cause of the problem and explain how to fix it. If possible, include the Firefox settings I should check and any tests I can perform to determine whether extensions, hardware acceleration, graphics drivers, or network settings are responsible.
