Whenever the Firefox browser updates, it asks me to close the browser and will not let me open up any new tabs nor update existing tabs without a 'close your browser' message popping up. This is incredibly inconvenient for me. When I'm doing something important, like filling out a form, and it updates. I often have to close the tab that I'm doing something important on and then having to redo EVERYTHING. I would really like it if Firefox would ask or remind me to update instead of force one on me and disabling what I can do with the browser until I do.

When printing a pdf from the built-in pdf viewer (pdf.js?) to a network printer, it's so slow as to be unusable. Save the same pdf and open it it in Xreader, click print, and it starts printing immediately. Size of the document seems to play a role; I knew it was slow from trying to print smaller documents in the past, but today I needed a hard copy of a 68MB pdf, and hours later, it still had not printed.

I'm running latest Linux Mint Debian Edition 4 Debbie and latest Firefox in its repositories, 78.11.0esr (64-bit). Printer is Canon imageRunner 2200, it doesn't have any other slow printing problems, as I stated above.

Problem seems to have existed for a long time...

This is a problem I never had a possible solution for.

I would like to have Youtube Music in a separate (pinned) tab, but in the same window as everything else.

The problem I have stems from youtube/google: I have 2 youtube accounts - once under my username, and one under my real name, and I don't remember how I ended up with that. I normally only use the account with my username and the "real name" account is mostly unused. But when migrating from Google Play Music, youtube decided to force me to use the "real name" account for that, and that's what I'm stuck with now.

So I would like to have youtube music, which need to be on account #2 open, whhile all other tabs are on google account #1. And when on the same profile, this is simply not possible. Switching account on one tab switches it for all others.

Is it possible to do that without a separate window open just for youtube music?

When I take a Screenshot within Firefox the Screenshot only contains the upper left quarter of the image. Firefox_Screenshot1.png shows how I take the Screenshot and Firefox_Screenshot2.png shows the result. DE: bspwm

The thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1325905#answer-1429736 was "locked" after I requested help about removing toolbar "fog".

Thank you for your replies.

Please make extension "MyLOFT" available for mozilla. To access British Library online it is needed.

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge has extension "MyLOFT" .

I am a regular user of Mozilla Firefox for Windows 10 as well as Linux confidently.

Please make it available ASAP.

Thank you

Firefox on Debian Linux with no modules or extensions enabled keeps installing a windows virus in it's cache. Other browsers don't do this so it's something with firefox.

Dear Firefox Community,

I can't create subject or new post on AMD Community forum. I mean this website: https://community.amd.com/

This can be problem with firefox because before update to version 91.0 I had not any problem. I think that this is problem with cookies because when I open community.amd.com website in private mode I can create only one subject or new post. If I want to second subject or post I can see information like this: "Post flooding detected (user tried to post more than 1 messages within 600 seconds)". Like I said when I want to create second subject or post this is not possible. To solve this problem I must log out from the website next exit the tab and open new one in private mode, log out again and I can now create again but only one post/subject.

This can be also problem with new version of firefox 91.0 because before update to this version I had not any problem. I think that this is problem with cookies.

Can you tell me if you have also this issue?

Thanks.

I cannot save items in my WordPress website anymore. This is a new problem that started this week. As far as I know there have been no software changes on the website. When I try to save anything now I get this error after I get the error in the attached image.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to omitted for privacy.com.

hello, I don't understand why I can't see the icons of the modules at the right side of the address bar, as it was before. So I can't use the modules, for example to translate smth.

Hi all,

I am a Linux user (Manjaro) and I've been using Firefox for ages now. I got hold of another computer recently, and I just installed Manjaro Gnome on it as well. I started Firefox, and suddenly I see a UI change, which I don't think is an update, but who knows. In this version of firefox the search bar (along with the new tab, refresh, pocket, etc buttons) are abobe the tab list (which spans the full width). You can see it here https://imgur.com/a/idqp5jb

Moreover, i tried changing themes via the Add-ons Manager and they can't be applied.

When using the Troubleshooting mode, Firefox is back to normal! But in normal mode it is not, so I am not really sure what the problem is. I would be thankful if you could tell me how to fix this.

Hello,

I’m using firefox-dev under debian linux and since last updates my cron script that was supposed to open a certain url in firefox at a regular schedule stopped working.

I do export DISPLAY=:0 than run firefox $url and all was fine previously but now I always received a message : “Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile.”

You can easily reproduce by running : sudo -u $(whoami) /path/to/firefox-dev/firefox https://www.google.com

Can somebody explain what is checked by firefox and why it consider it is not responding instead of just open my url in a new tab ?

pourquoi firefox ne me permet pas d effectuer des recherches ? et me reponds que la connection n es pas securisé et/ou chiffrer .. je n ai aucun probleme a ce que ma connection ne soit pas securisé .. aider moi SVP

This is an annoying, but kinda funny, problem. Every time I try getting to a website that starts with "gen", I get this url, gentlemansgazette.com that shows up. I've tried "shift + del", I've removed it from my history. It isn't book marked. It keeps popping up and it's incredibly annoying.

Can someone here tell me how to fix this? It's above "suggestions" so its not a part of that, I don't think. I did include a screenshot but I'm not sure if its going to show.

Thank you!

I've tried editing prefs.js, which made no difference. I've also noticed a prefs sqllite file, but I don't know how to unlock it. What should I do?

I'm on Linux, firefox 95 in case it matters.

I have today commissioned a new HP laptop running Windows 10.

I have downloaded Firefox and done a straightforward installation. I have viewed a couple of web pages but notice that when right clicking there is no longer a screenshot facility in the little menu box that appears. Trying Control + Shift + S does not work either.

I am writing this using Firefox 93.0 for Linux Mint on an old Toshiba Satellite and I have the facility - both right click and keyboard.

Has the facility been discontinued in the later version?

Many thanks in advance

For last fiew days I get a double prompt for primary password when I start a firefox session (on linux ubuntu 20.04). I'm worried if this is a bug or a troyan.

What can I do to find out?
