recent firefox update can no longer copy and paste when creating a blog post in Squarespace, I have been using squarespace for around 15 years for my websites and I have never seen this issue, Firefox 15.1 installed and all of a sudden when trying to create a blog post in Squarespace, when I right click a text box pop up and it no longer says paste so I can no longer copy and paste text - this is more than a little annoying, you will not be surprised to know that I am now using Chrome to create my posts, there is no issue in chrome. I am a firefox geek! how can i solve this problem, I just did another update from Firefox, the issue remains I have been using computers for 40 year so I am not a novice but software glitches, I am lost

When I try to use multiple desktops to arrange the opened windows, the window of Firefox is present in all of them, even the last one, which is usually totally empty (and when we drag a new window in it, a new empty desktop is created).

You can find attached screenshots of my three desktops, where Firefox appears (I blurred all info that could be sensitive, I hope I did not miss any !).

Is there a setting to unset this ?

NB: this is a duplicate of a post I made on askUbuntu, but it seems that this issue is more Firefox related than Ubuntu... And I did not manage to fix it with the answer provided there, so I'm trying my luck here !

NB2: oops, i just noticed that I inserted this question in the wrong topic (android), it seems that I cannot change that... I anyone see how to do it let me know !

why fine checking tool not working

Hi,

I’m facing an issue with my website’s fine checking tool on Mozilla Firefox. My website is evgfinescheck.com , and the tool works fine in some browsers, but on Firefox it doesn’t load properly and sometimes shows an error.

I am already using the latest (updated) version of Firefox, so the issue is not due to an outdated browser. The tool either fails to fetch data or doesn’t respond as expected when users try to check fines.

I’ve checked basic things like internet connection and browser updates, but the problem still persists specifically on Firefox.

Can anyone guide me on:

What could be causing this compatibility issue? Are there any common JavaScript, API, or CORS-related problems specific to Firefox? How can I debug or fix this issue?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

At the last FF update, I discovered that I had VPN on my top status bar but what does it do?

I have v. 150.0.1 (64 bit). Also Windows 11. I live in France and the only reason to use a VPN is to watch a UK soap which I cannot watch by any other means unless it's live on the TV. I know how to turn it on (obvious), so when I use the BBC website, this is what I do. But it makes not the slightest bit of difference as I am still recognised as being outside the UK.

Am I not doing something please?

After copying profile that's already synced to my old account, I'm unable to set sync that copied profile to new mozilla account. According to support page, it should sync just fine by using different mozilla account. From what I noticed, this new copy profiles feature doesn't make a new profile in about:profiles, could this be an issue?

The last 2 days Firefox has not been saving my open webpages

I checked my settings and it says I am set to reopen settings, but it is not doing it.

I do genealogy every day so I need my tabs to open...it lost the tabs I was going to work on the following day that I wanted to work on.

Also when I turned computer it wanted to make Firefox a default and it already is...It used to allow me to reload recent activity pages, but it did not after my Firefox crashed...it only listed about 10 pages,

I thought it may have crashed because I turned it off with 250 pages open, but it was very late and it would have taken me hours to look at all the open files

It took me a few hours to get some of the pages back, but I lost track of a lot of files I wanted to work on, but I lost track of many :-(

I am not a "techie" so I hope Mozilla support can get me back to being able to have Firefox save tabs again for me...I promise not to leave 250 files open again...that is the only thing I can think of that caused everything to crash

Thank you J

Any way to remove +1 for phone number in autofill?

I fill out a lot of forms online and use Firefoxe's autofill to fill in my personal info.

The problem I have is that autofill always puts a +1 in front of my phone number on the forms.

Since the form is only looking for 7 digits, it chokes with the +1 and won't submit. This requires me to manually click on the phone number field and delete the +1 so the form will submit. With the amount of forms I fill out, this creates a lot of unnecessary wasted time constantly having to correct it.

I have tried editing the phone number in autofill to remove the +1, and although it appears to do so, as soon as I save it, it comes right back again.

Is there an about:config setting that will remove this? I don't know why Firefox thought this was a good thing and not allow a way to edit it out.

Thank you for any replies

Good day everybody, I am new to Firefox. I have MacBookAir 11. I added the Ecosia extension since it's my main search engine. I noticed there aren't ads popping up for Ecosia. That is how Ecosia makes money for it's sustainability projects, so, as nice as it is to not see ads, I would like them to show up for my Ecosia searches. I understand you can make an Enhanced Tracking Protection exception (and I did), but where can I find a place to make exceptions for whatever AdBlock software came already integrated to Firefox? I am liking Firefox so far. Thank you everybody. Miran.

I cannot use Firefox without it blowing up my memory to 86GB used in Activity Monitor. I've cleared my cache, closed all my tabs and bookmarked them. I have a Macbook Air M1 2020. I've tried restarting and am definitely using the current version of Firefox. I also updated to the latest OS Tahoe 26.5 to see if that helped. What should I do next please?!

Content Security policy blocks essential scripts no matter what I do.

It's new Firefox installation, Troubleshoot mode, Enhanced tracking disabled, I'm not on VPN, can log into X.com in another browser just fine.

It's the reason #1 I don't use Firefox. I thought the issue would be fixed but it has been like this for long time.

Yet whatever I do, whatever I turn off this pops up:

Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource (default-src) at https://abs.twimg.com/responsive-web/client-web/bundle.Conversation.721fc4aa.js because it violates the following directive: “default-src 'self'”

The screenshot is from Zen, but it uses Firefox and the issue is the same in Firefox.

I had an unusual system crash, and when I restarted Firefox, the History > Restore Previous Session feature was grayed out. Due to the nature of my work, I had a large quantity of tabs open at the time of the crash (please don't judge). I then backed up the contents of the \Library\Application Support\Firefox\Profiles\[session].default\sessionstore-backups\ folder, but unfortunately not the full Profiles folder content. The file recovery.baklz4 does seem to contain my open session info (I can see a recent link in it). Based on web advice, I then tried restarting Firefox, but that didn't solve my issue. I also tried copying in sessionstore-backups files, without success. I then tried the "Session History Scrounger" web application to try and recover links from the contents of recovery.baklz4 because that worked for me in a prior crash years ago, but it doesn't seem to work properly anymore (it only retrieved 4 web pages). Appreciate any guidance as to how I can use my backed up sessionstore-backup files to re-enable Restore Previous Session, or alternatively to scrounge the links that were open at the time of the crash. Greatly appreciate your help! (Please do not suggest using "Show All History"... I have no plans to sort through a dump truck of rice with a pair of tweezers.)
