Firefox Community Forum

Hi, when I want to zoom in to the website page, I cant seem to find the horizontal scroll, thus I cant see the left side of the page that I zoomed in. Please make the horizontal scroll available. Thank you.

Hi,

When I opened Firefox today, it asked me which profile I'd like to use. I named one Katy and then continued. Now, I can't see any of my bookmarks, none of my passwords are saved, none of my sites recognized. I've been using Firefox for years. Everything I have is saved there. I just want my old stuff back. I'm signed in on my account, but can't see another profile that I can choose. My phone still has all the passwords and bookmarks from before but I I can't see what profile I'm signed in under. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Katy

I have a local file I wish to view in firefox without starting a HTTP server (it's only docs for a crate I'm building) however Firefox is unable to open the file despite the file existing and having correct permissions. The file was in a separate mount (disk) to where Ffox is installed so I copied to to /tmp/ to remove that as a variable but still no joy..

➜ ~ file /tmp/index.html /tmp/index.html: HTML document, Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with very long lines (3556) ➜ ~ ls -la /tmp/index.html -rwxr-xr-x 1 ben ben 4208 Dec 30 14:04 /tmp/index.html

Am I missing some new setting which allows local file browsing using the good old 'file:///' protocol?

Thanks, Ben

OS Info: PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="24.04.3 LTS (Noble Numbat)" VERSION_CODENAME=noble

F/Fox version: 146.0.1 (64-bit)

After tinkering with about:config (shouldn't have...) the background of every page that does not specify a body background color turns the color of my theme background color.

Using the firefox color pipette says its white, but it clearly isn't.

The theme i have is dark, making any page that expects the background to be white unreadable (without DevTools -> Body -> background-color: white)

I haven't been able to find the config that fixes it.

Two days ago, I made my first post to these forums. Now I'm being spammed with "Congrats on your first forum reply!" emails from this website. I am getting a new one every hour and a half or so. There is no obvious thing to do in the email to stop this. How do I stop support.mozilla.org from spamming me?

Just recently I am no longer able to login to the discover.com site in private mode. It still works in regular mode. I'm using this on a desktop, not the discover app. I spoke to their tech support and tried to do a login while on the phone. They told me nothing was coming through on their end. So, what changed and how can I fix it please?

I visit the nbcnews.com web site frequently. For the past +/- 48 hours, I have been having issues. I can open the home page and scroll from top to bottom just fine. However when I now double-clcik to open a specific article, that article page opens for about one second and is then immediately replaced with a page that says "Something Went Wrong. Access to NBC News is temporarily unavailable. The problem will be resolved as soon as possible." This happens on whatever article I select. It also happens on 2 separate computers.

I e-mailed support at NBC News. Their response was "we cannot duplicate this behavior." They suggested I try another browser. I do not use anything other than Firefox, but I found an old installed copy of Internet Explorer from... 2015. IE opened the NBC News main page and all of the sub-pages just fine.

My Firefox just updated to version 115.30.0esr X64 within the past several days. I am not certain if the NBC News issue happened as a result of that update or not. Has anyone else experienced similar difficulties with this web site or as a result of this latest update?

After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

• (Nope - computer not eligible to upgrade to Win 11. My processor isn't fast enough, I think.)

for some weeks now, Firefox (latest, in Windows) crashes, or says 'not closed properly' and shows (usually) 12 'instances' in Task Manager when only one tab has been opened. I'm not techie, and need clear advice. Can anyone help please? Hugh, UK

I have asked this question before and followed ALL recommendations to no avail. I received no other suggestions to now, nearly a year later I am asking this question again. I had to stop using my favorite browser because of this. You all used to help your users but alas, no more. Here is a link to my previous question and then below is my present question;

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1473866

I am running a fully updated Windows 11 computer. I have 4 fully up to date browsers; Vivaldi 7.5.3735.66 (Stable channel) (64-bit); EDGE Version 139.0.3405.125 (Official build) (64-bit); DuckDuckGo version 0.126.3; and Firefox 142.01. I play Bejeweled Blitz on FaceBook. The game works perfectly on all browsers EXCEPT Firefox. When I try to play on Firefox I get a message that says I must "upgrade to the latest version of Flash:. There is NO flash anymore. Why am I getting this message on Firefox but the game works just fine on all other browsers?

The website you are blocking is on my domain and is my website. Why are you blocking it? Stop blocking it!

For over a week, Firefox always displays the message "Our servers are experiencing problems with our services" when I try to view a TV program on YouTube TV. Opera, Edge and my iPhone do not have this problem. I notice that Firefox doesn't store my location in the same place other browsers do. Could that be the problem?

I hate it when I have to use a different browser.

I read firefox is dropping linux 32. Are there any alternatives?

I only use the internet to watch youtube videos.

I don't feel like having to buy a new laptop for this.

Hi!

Please see attached image:

Left: Edge (making sure it isn't a network issue)

Right: Firefox using a new profile from about:profiles.

On my main profile, I've tried clearing the data and cookies (though not the history) a couple of weeks back.

Any suggestions welcomed! Many thanks in advance.

I have over 100 open tabs spread over 4 Mac desktops. I can no longer access ANY of them after upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26 and installing ESET Cyber Security Pro. I've used ESET with Firefox for many years without ANY problems. But now I have to choose between uninstalling ESET and being unprotected in order to use Firefox AT ALL. Every single webpage is blacked out with the message below. ESET support says that Firefox needs to issue an update to fix this problem.

Hi All,

I was using the following CSS to hide the navigation images and show only text labels on the context menu for the Back, Forward, Reload and Bookmark Page menu options...

/* Content Area Context Menu - Navigation Vertical Text */
#context-navigation,
#context-navigation > menuitem{
  flex-direction: column !important;
}

/* hide images */
#context-back image, #context-forward image,
#context-reload image, #context-stop image,
#context-bookmarkpage image{
   display: none !important;
}

/* show text labels */
#context-back:after, #context-forward:after,
#context-reload:after, #context-stop:after,
#context-bookmarkpage:after{
   content: attr(aria-label) !important;
   margin-inline-start: -19px !important; /* this pushes navigation text items to left, aligned with other menu items below */
}

It worked up until a couple of versions ago, but something has changed, and my CSS is now broken, and those navigation icons are back.

My context menu now looks like the attached image below.

Any help with showing only text labels on this menu is appreciated.

Thanks.

Several websites are not loading their content since yesterday. YouTube has a message "Try searching to get started" and even when I open a video, it won't play. X.com is not loading content in the pages. So far it's those two.
