منتدى دعم ”Firefox“

Firefox on my new HP Envy Lap top is hard to use. The text size in the title and menu bars is way too small. So I followed steps in "Support" to fix. Fine. But that made the bars full of empty space. The larger the text, the greater the wasted space. So I followed the steps in "Support" to get "compact mode", but the instructions fell short, as the step 7 says to click on the "density button", but there is no "density button" on my screen. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BUILD MY OWN BROWSER JUST TO GET A USABLE PAGE PRESENTATION. I was a Netscape user and adopted Firefox as soon as it came out. I just can't believe Mozilla is forcing me to use Edge. The presentation on Edge has none of Firefox's problems. PLEASE, SOMEONE FIX FIREFOX ON LAPTOPS!

Hi. This is dumb but it's really annoying. I get the standard where typing a letter or two of a page I go to all the time makes that the first suggestion: If I type r, I get Raw Story, for instance; s takes me to Slate and c takes me to CNN. I also go to Wonkette and Daily Kos all the time, but when I type w, Firefox gives me www.rawstory.com instead of wonkette.com, and when I type d, I get duckduckgo.com. These are the only two that are giving me fits of the several pages I visit often. How can I make this stop? I've literally never typed in www.rawstory.com; it's making me crazy that Firefox is forcing its suggestions on me even though they don't match my clearly established reality.

I am unable to send responses or information either from the browser (e.g. VRBO's "contact host" button) or from a link to payment sent to me via gmail. Is this some setting that has been unintentionally disabled?

On Win 11, Firefox 108.0.1 seems to have some kind of page refresh issue. Only happens on sites like Facebook, and occurs in Troubleshoot mode so not due to running addins etc. Other browsers (Chrome, Vivaldi etc) all OK on the same pages (as was FF until the update).

It's hard to pin down what causes this, but my gut feeling is it occurs when an ad or posting containing a video tries to autoplay or refresh it's frame whilst scrolling, so may be something to do with video rendering. When it happens the entire Firefox window (including all menus, borders, text and icons) goes blank except for the background colours in the panels. This will go on for a few seconds and then usually all the pages, tabs, text etc will return. Just occasionally whatever is happening is enough to crash Firefox entirely or even the whole machine, requiring a power-cycle to restart it. This started happening within a few seconds of the automatic update to 108.0.1.

I will update FF on my laptop and see if the same thing occurs there...

Doesn't appear to. Both devices are intel i9 processors with Win11 Pro, major difference is the video card: Built-in Intel display on laptop, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 on desktop.

I will try a driver update for the NVIDIA and report back...

I've attached a screenshot of the browser window taken when this happens.

I will try to run with developer tools to see if I can pin it down further...

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the network protocol was detected. Why do i keep getting this message only on firefox but all my other web browsers work fine when doing web searches

I am developing a React application with a Flask backend. The Flask backend has a "login" endpoint that sets an authentication cookie that is then supposed to be used to authenticate the end user in future requests to the backend.

After receiving the cookie from the Flask backend, the React app makes a call like so:

```

   const response = await fetch(apiUrl,{
       method: "GET",
       credentials: "same-origin"
   });

```

but Firefox does not include the authentication cookie. I am told this may be because Firefox doesn't store cookies transmitted over HTTPS from localhost.

For obvious reasons, I want Firefox to store the authentication cookie. What can I do to make sure Firefox stores the cookie?

Dear all,

recently I picked up Mozilla again and saw some weird website formatting for some sites. It sometimes only affect certain areas (see attached picture Bad Formatting Amazon, where one part got squished and dragged down very much) and sometimes it affects the whole website (please refer to the other two pictures, one showing the proper formatting and the other one a formatting, which occurs over time, when leaving the website open)

Can I change any settings to combat this? Looking forward to your input!

Thank you and best regards, David

macOS Catalina 10.15.7, Firefox 108.0.1

For as long as I remember, Firefox has ordered the window list that is displayed by selecting Window in the top Menu Bar in the order that the windows were created. This past week after a computer restart, the order has changed to alphabetic based on the title of the window. How can I get back to the previous method, ordered by creation time?

This is similar to another question by redochre77 on 11/9/22 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1396298

When I set up my computer, I have been using chrome for my work email and systems, and firefox for my personal email, for years now. This year I have found repeatedly that firefox will claim to have lost internet connection (ON A HARDWIRED COMPUTER) repeatedly during the day. And sometimes I will open a new tab to do a google search--and get a blank tab. Chrome works like a charm. No problems, ever. I have had IT work on this problem with me 5 times this fall (I'm in biological science). We have updated all the software and drivers, checked the computer's memory, checked the computer's upload and download speed, updated the docking station and replaced the wires. And Chrome works fine all the while. I think you have a problem, folks. I might have to ditch you.

I've been reading all the information about notifications, but I can't seem to stop the small popouts that slide into sight from the upper right side of the browser page. They appear to be from my gmail repeating whatever latest email has arrived on my page. I've tried so much on the settings page, I am now in the fog of war. Can't see where/what I am supposed to do. This just started 8-10 days ago. I'm not sure what has triggered it, but it's really annoying. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Answers have to be in plain English, please. Thank you.

Today I started having a problem with Smartnews.com. When I click a news item link, it displays a barcode and asks to install the app on my phone. When I use Microsoft Edge, I do not have this problem - the article displays fine. Does anyone know what is going on with Smartnews.com? Thanks

I use Firefox for Mac as my default browser and use it to access all sites including GMAIL. This morning and one other time about a week ago, when I start-up the Mac, go to Firefox and open GMAIL, I get a message from Google saying that the browser is not supported and then it loads the outdated HTML version of its gmail. I have restarted my Mac and tried again, and I get the same results. It works normally with Chrome (go figure). Any insights are welcome. Thank you!
