منتدى دعم ”Firefox“

About a week ago I started getting these update error messages stating "Update available - Firefox couldn't update automatically. Download the new version". I've also tried clicking "learn more" on the error message but it's a dead link. Going into the settings for updates I am set to auto update, but when I manually check for updates it says "Failed to check for updates".

The help article on this issue simply tells you to download and manually reinstall Firefox, but I'm having to do this nearly every day. I work in IT myself so I know a "bandaid" workaround when I see one. Is there a solution to this issue?

Hello!

I use Mosaic, a window manager utility, for macOS. With a hotkey, I can move or resize a window according to a preconfigured grid.

This always has worked great with all different applications, and only in the past couple of months it stopped working with Firefox.

It appears to be related to the way Firefox is does animation of resizing or window movement. My hotkeys no longer have the effect on the Firefox window moving.

This is disruptive enough to my workflow that I have switched to Chrome, which doesn't have the same issue. I really am not okay with this solution, as Chrome is the worst for a software developer. Tab and session management in Firefox is the absolute best and I want to come back to FF.

Is there any way to completely disable whatever window animation features have recently been added to Firefox?

Your instructions under "help" say to click on "Firefox" and click on "preferences". When I click on Firefox the menu does NOT have "Preferences" in it. What's up with that?? And how do I clear the cache and cookies?

I am trying to block myself from checking on my old employer's website, and I need to block myself from being able to go to their web page. How do I block a specific website? I do not want to access this site, and I find myself checking the site. I sound nuts, I know. But this is for my own good.

My Firefox (just updated to latest version) will not show videos from Ring.com. This has been going on for over a month and spans several version releases. However, I can get other browsers (Safari, Chrome, Vivaldi) to view the videos. (I am using a Mac, latest operating system.) I have just been trying to view a video from my Ring account for the last 10 minutes and it will not load and show.

Can you help?

Hello. I was having issues with my open tabs in FF crashing in the past 24 hours. I had to restart FF this morning to get the problem to stop.

To my dismay, it appears that all of my Onetab data saved over the past year was wiped out in the process. I'm a writer, and I save these links for article research, and would like to recover as many as possible.

Any assistance would be appreciated! I use Idrive for backup, and would need to know the directory pathway if they were to help me to recover this data (if that's even possible).

Thanks in advance! Claudia

How can I see what cookies have been installed? In "Privacy & Security" | "Cookies and Site Data" I can see the web sites that downloaded cookies and how many, but not what they are.

I have this invasive purple Firefox icon that state that "firefox is capturing your screen". I hate it because it looks suspicious. I need it disabled and completely off. Otherwise, I have to get firfox uninstalled from my computer. I can't have something that I don't have control over. unacceptable.

Hi, I use google chrome for work and firefox for personal use. I did not want firefox to import my bookmarks from Googe Chrome but somehow it did. Do I have to remove these bookmarks one at a time? And how do I prevent this from happening again?

Thank you, Harry

hi, I really trust Mozilla with my privacy needs. Are there any updates on digital wallets for e-commerce payments that I can use with the browser? The only way right now is for me to either use Apple or Chrome for my wallet, and i want to detach from those accounts!
