منتدى دعم ”Firefox“

It's frustrating. Ubuntu machine, everything updated. Every time Firefox updates itself in the background, it requests a restart in a new tab, promising to restore everything. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Having usually dozens of tabs at work open after such a restart, I get an empty tab. An annoying massacre. These are not private bookmarks. There is nothing. All sessions in tabs are lost.

I'm using my imac to report problem...My laptop froze while using proton vpn to watch sportsurge. force quit unplugged and could not connect with firefox when i turned computer back on

My platform is Debian 11.6: My FireFox install is 102.10.0esr (64-bit)

I was assisting my wife in making an appointment at the US Embassy in Manila via the US Embassy website. It all worked correctly *until* I chose the appointment day and time and clicked to continue. Rather than confirm the appointment, it told me I needed an up-to-date browser that supported 128 bit encryption. Now I know FireFox does support that. The screen looked like it thought I was using Netscape!

I switched to Chrome (much to my annoyance) and the website worked. This is not the first time I have found that I have to abandon FireFox to do something when using it on Linux. I haven't been on Windows for a while, but I don't remember this problem on that platform. This is a real problem. Please fix it. There is no reason why a website should think FireFox is Netscape.

Hello,

Can you please tell me how to downgrade Firefox Nightly to Firefox Stable Release channel on Linux Ubuntu. When I try to exchange the firefox versions in the snap store of Ubuntu I seem to loose my whole data stored in Firefox.

Thanks.

So, I just saw an add-on nesting on my "Connected Service" list. It's quite weird, because I never see something like this. Is this normal? The add-on is "video downloadhelper". Since the list description is "Everything you are using and signed into.", it it true that my firefox account has been compromised?

I upgraded my OS yesterday to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. That upgrade included the newest Firefox, 103.0.2. Most of the websites I go to load just fine but some; Facebook, Nextdoor, Inkscape chat, do not load. The page will start to load and then just hang. What to do, what to do.

My Manjaro is XFCE Desktop. Firefox Netflix subtitles were extremely small (unreadable). I just inserted a different desktop "Gnome" on the same Manjaro installation. It is the same Manjaro installation on the same computer but a different desktop I was playing with and I can switch between desktops. The problem disappeared with the Gnome desktop. Going back to the XFCE desktop the problem was still there. I never came across the relationship of the desktop to this problem in my readings. With Google Chrome on the XFCE the subtitles were readable. This is not a problem for me since I could use Google Chrome even though Firefox is my Browser of choice. For some things I must use Google Chrome like my US Army retired finance because Firefox is not recommended and doesn't work right. I do not like that the email address needs to be signed into to change things on Google chrome. On Firefox I just have to establish a local password. I am providing this for your information because I am able to use the computer to watch Netflix on my Manjaro XFCE setup. This information may help someone to find a solution if they are interested. I am going to have to see if there is some package that I can add to XFCE to correct the problem.

Dear Devs, /w all respect to your work, I know it can be hard, [redacted] it, I love all & enjoy the heavens of a free software world, but "I" miss some basic capabalitties of an old interent(s)... namely this video is not playing to me (pls help): I know you are doing your very bests against Adobe/evil/mac/[redacted]/coroprations/who/[redacted]/cares ... but please, could we as society, play online some small video like 320x240 (in form outdated) online? this instance: http://vasulka.org/Videomasters/pages_stills/index_126.html?

I can't find any way to group windows. Yes, "windows".

I have about three dozen windows open (yes, there are a lot of tabs in them), and not just at home. And it’s hard to quickly find your bearings when you need to switch to another task (workspace). It would be nice to at least change the color of the windows, depending on the type of work. But in the API API I don’t see the ability to define a window property where you can specify a group identifier, which can be used to restore the color after re-opening FireFox.

If FireFox had a built-in or its own reliable extension for organizing thematic work, a deferred workspace (without losing the contents of windows). Arc browser - they realized that what browsers have been denying for a decade is already overdue, and they will be able to take over the market.

I tried several extensions for saving, restoring and organizing workspaces, and came to a clear conclusion: only the built-in FireFox solution for restoring windows after a crash/opening is the only truly reliable solution. There is no trust in extensions that are not supervised by a good team of developers and testers; there is a guarantee that data will be lost in the near future.

It is possible that in recent years some expansions have been completed. I'd be glad to know about it if you point it out. But here a question arises on a separate topic: improving the mechanism for rating and testing extensions, recommended extensions program.

I've been through a rough patch with Firefox the past couple of weeks.

Cutting to the chase: I exported all my bookmarks and imported them in a new profile.

But the icons that used to be there aren't.

Not *end of the world*, but just something I noticed.

(I just about shot myself in the foot) Ok, after using one to open a tab and the icon returned. So is that how they get their icons?

Password is for a login which was used a couple of days ago now cant be shown and doesn't work anymore even tho no password change occurred. The issue is persistent on all my devices. Other Passwords still work fine.

I continue to have problems with my computor. the GJS error not responding firefox web browser shut my computor down. I power off still does the same thing the gjs not responding you do updates and some programs don't work like these two. Please helpme

I have Firefox 50.1.0 on openSUSE 13.1 Linux (KDE desktop). This is the last update from openSUSE, but is now deprecated by some websites. I am reluctant to download a recent Firefox version without knowing in advance that it will work under SUSE 13.1. I am familiar with 13.1 and reluctant to update that, merely to run a new version of Firefox, as it will create complications with my multi-boot system, which includes a MSDOS 6 partition for legacy software (it took me ages to get GRUB configured to load that reliably and I'm not sure I could do it again).

Please advise what is the latest version of Firefox that will run under my elderly version of Linux and how to obtain and install it (I am not an expert Linux command line user). I am using Firefox 106.0.3 under Windows 7 to send this to you (multi-boot system), because I could not sign up with 50.1.0.
