Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

Ed - Thanks for that thread. Since I posted my question originally (and can't find where just now) I did try one add-on called STOP AUTO RELOAD by kgersen and I'm trying that. I couldn't understand how to add the particular address I wanted to use it on, but it's helping on FB without having entered FB's addy. Most of the time it stops the refresh. If I leave it too long tho, when I come back it does refresh, but at least it isn't refreshing while I'm trying to read it. The annoying blue label "refresh" still comes on my page, but I ignore it.

I'm having problems with a website constantly asking me to accept cookie permissions. It happens on some other sites occasionally, but this particular site is one that I use each day.

When I visit the site I get the cookie permissions box. I click accept all cookies. No matter how many links I click I am presented with the box yet again. It doesn't happen with Chrome, Edge or Brave.

I'm using Firefox 130.00 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) running Catalina (10.15.7). It has run flawlessly for years, but suddenly won't open, and only hangs, requiring me to Force Quit. It stopped working on Thursday, 9/12, which, I notice, was the day it was last modified with an automatic upgrade. I have quit and tried restarting multiple times, but am unable to get into it at all and, therefore, cannot access Troubleshooting Mode. I have NOT yet tried deleting it and downloading a fresh copy. I would like, if possible, to retain my open tabs, Bookmarks, and History.

Please advise—and many thanks!

Hi. I have various folders, for different businesses.. And when browsing I need to save a certain website for both businesses, like a trade show for example. But a bookmark can only be saved in one folder. I refuse to belive this is a thing in 2024.. Is there a solution? A hack? I know if I click on a different page of a webiste it will save, but some pages only have one page url.. I thought maybe changing the name of the bookmark might work but it doesn't. Any help appreciated.

I did a clean Windows reinstall on my computer and I forgot Mozilla account password, so I asked a password reset. It went fine, but my bookmarks and password were not syncing. I thought sync server is slow or similar, but nothing happened after 2-3 hours.

I searched on Google and found that a password reset deletes everything.

Developers! Are you f*cking serious if you don't warn the users when they are doing password reset if that will delete everything?????? I f*cking can't believe that!

I lost hundreds of passwords and bookmarks. That is f*cking insane!

What information that I can supply would be useful to help resolve the problem? I have seen the problem on both my old (ancient) Windows 10 desktop and new Windows 11 desktop. I have seen it on my Windows 11 desktop on version 129.0.2 and 130.0. I saw it first on the Windows 11 desktop as I am spending my time setting it up. But recently saw it on the Windows 10 desktop on 129.0.2. When I hover on a tab it highlights the tab (background lightens); but NO description or preview appears.

It works on both PCs when I first start Firefox.

I am signing into my Mozilla account on a new computer with a clean Firefox install. I'm able to get into my account using an authorization code to my email, but Firefox Sync isn't working so no bookmarks/passwords/history/etc. I have a persistent "account disconnected" with a yellow triangle icon. Upon clicking through, I see "Please sign in to reconnect [my email address]" with a sign in button. Signing in does nothing. What's really strange is that my other Mozilla account works fine, which leads me to believe this is an account issue—except that I've synced this account across several devices already.

What do?

Firefox is not detecting my location correctly. I am in living in Idaho, NOT living in Utah and never have lived in Utah. For some reason you detect my location in error.

With my previous FF installation, it would remember both the width and the last selection in the sidebar after closing and re-opening FF.

I just formatted and reinstalled windows and now FF simply would not remember the last sidebar condition.

I'm using Windows 10 22H2 and FF 130 64-bit.

Disabling either the "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" or the "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" options under the Privacy & Security settings page break all of my homelab SSL certificates using Let's Encrypt and breaks the tab/card preview functionality. The only way for these to work is to leave both options enabled. Disabling either one breaks both of those.

When they are disabled the card preview just doesn't work. The Let's Encrypt-backed self-hosted services are a bit different. I get a warning that the pages are insecure, and if I click the Advanced button to continue (sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not) I get looped back to the same insecure page with no way to accept or proceed.

Things I've tried: - Disabled all Add-Ons - Deleted/reverted all modified settings in about:config - Firefox Refresh - Uninstalled/cleared cache directories/reinstalled - Deleted my whole Mozilla account and recreated, thinking it was a bad setting being synced

Fedora Systems information: - Firefox v130.0.1, Mozilla Firefox Flatpak - Flathub Flatpak from official Mozilla source - OS: Fedora 40, Gnome - Hardware: Framework 13 12th-gen laptop, custom desktop PC

Ubuntu System information: - Firefox v130.0.1, Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu - Snap as provided from fresh Ubuntu installation - OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4, Gnome - Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen4, Intel 13th-gen

This is not an issue on Firefox for Android seemingly. This started on my laptop first a few weeks ago, I don't remember changing either of those privacy settings at the time but I may have.

I have multiple gmail accounts and I don't always have them open on every tab. For some reason, every few days at random, whenever I swap to a different gmail account I keep receiving the message.

"The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to mail.google.com.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

I double checked if my cookies are blocked, and they werent. I am currently on standard tracking protection. I have tried removing my cookies and history and they work temporarily, but then the issue happens again after a few days.

I don't think my extensions are causing the problem either unless Adnauseum is changing something? I don't have any scripts running from Tampermonkey either.

Please help, this is getting irritating having to delete my history and cookies over and over again.

We make a web application and some customers had problems caused by the Firefox translator. Specifically it translates the content of hidden input fields like this: <input name="ACTION" id="ACTION" type="hidden" value="login" translate="no" data-translate="false"/> causing the application to not work anymore. (the translator changed the word "login" to "login in und in").

Note the 2 attributes I have added in the html, which DON'T prevent translation.

The input field is inside this block: <body class="notranslate">

class="notranslate" seems to prevent translation of the various labels inside the body, but NOT of the value of the hidden input field.

As it is a multilanguage application (the users can change the language inside the application), I would like to entirely disable translation by the browser for this web site. Can this be done using certain tags or attributes? At least I would like that the content of input fields is not modified by the translator. Is that possible?

I've been struggling with this issue for a few months. After Firefox updates, my toolbar layout gets reset and I have to re-do it from scratch. If that wasn't bad enough, occasionally when this happens it also enters this state where nothing loads. All tabs just get stuck in blank screen "dancing dot mode". Yes, google, everything. To "fix" this, I go into troubleshoot mode, and back to normal again, and then it's "fixed"... until it happens again a few days later. I can actually rebuild my toolbar layout in under 15 seconds now, I've done it so many times. I've tried doing the 'refresh'. Many times. I've fully uninstalled and re-installed Firefox. I uninstalled plugins that I suspected might be the cause. Nothing worked. At best these measures kept firefox stable a couple of weeks longer. I actually gave up and tried other browsers for a while. Any insight is appreciated.

I have six windows that I use the most. Sometimes I open more windows, but before quitting Firefox, I close windows that are outside of the first six. But if I don’t close the additional windows, the next time I open Firefox, they are all the same position as they were when I closed Firefox.

And that is good.

The problem is, with the taskbar locked, while using Firefox and using Windows the way it’s intended- opening, closing and switching different windows as I need them, the six windows in Firefox switch positions. The windows shift positions so that 6 is 5 and 5 is 6 and 3 is 2 and 1 is 3 and so on. It’s all random.

So why do the windows shift positions?

It is a hassle to have to keep lining them up again and again throughout the day, so that they are always in the right place so that I don’t have to click each taskbar item to find out which window it is. If they remain in the correct order, I have no trouble or wasted time looking for the window I need to use.

The shifting Firefox windows at random is the problem. That is what this inquiry is about.

Here is a temporary fix without having to set them all up from scratch. It takes a few manipulations, but still better than remembering all the tabs in each window then opening each window and tab one at a time in the order I prefer them to be in. I use an addon called Tab Session Manager. This is not an advertisement for the addon. It is necessary to mention it in case others have the same “switching” windows problems. The addon allows you to save each window, then open each of the saved windows in the proper order.

The things I’m trying to get an answer to, are the following questions:

1. Why do the Firefox windows switch positions? 2. And how do I stop it from happening again?

Any help or direction will be appreciated. Thanks.

Often I can't access content indicated by a link in an article or email. I tried turning off the Firefox firewall, but it made no difference. Now I am unable to turn the firewall back on.

Right now there is an annoying hybrid Reopen Closed Window or Tab feature on the Ctrl+Shift+T hotkey. But Reopen Closed Window already had the Ctrl+Shift+N hotkey, even prior to this change. I can't find anywhere to change this behavior.
