Firefox Community Forum

Rootsmagic.com has a "Chat" button on the lower right corner of it's screens. Except I can't see it; Firefox seems to be blocking it. (At least that's what the Rootsmagic tech support people have suggested.) What do you have to say? (See: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.rootsmagic.com%2Fattachments%2Ftoken%2FbAIpWeRMk3nDQbdivWS3ALYfk%2F%3Fname%3DScreenshot%2B2024-07-29%2B114817.png&data=05%7C02%7C%7C3ebf325e256f401a929f08dcaff7e2b0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638578726398916673%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=rzVm4N4s9nl4dTAPx19GQYvKL8%2F6BE5QW39Srt0nNLs%3D&reserved=0https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.rootsmagic.com%2Fattachments%2Ftoken%2FbAIpWeRMk3nDQbdivWS3ALYfk%2F%3Fname%3DScreenshot%2B2024-07-29%2B114817.png&data=05%7C02%7C%7C3ebf325e256f401a929f08dcaff7e2b0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638578726398916673%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=rzVm4N4s9nl4dTAPx19GQYvKL8%2F6BE5QW39Srt0nNLs%3D&reserved=0)

Hello, Since yesterday, the Firefox web browser crashes systematically. This has happened well over a dozen times. I've tried multiple step-by-step solutions: deactivating extensions, troubleshooting mode, repairing firefox, uninstalling and installing Firefox, trying several versions of Firefox (Quantum, ESR, Nightly), downgrading to an earlier version, uninstalling and completely cleaning Mozilla folders on AppData, deactivating graphics/hardware acceleration...

At one point, Firefox was crashing after ten seconds of watching a video on Youtube or another platform. After reinstallation, video playback no longer causes the browser to crash, but closing a tab does.

I am currently using Mozilla ESR 115.12.0. After reinstalling, I lost all the reports I sent. Nevertheless, I was able to reproduce the crash to give you the ID: [https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../a2d0f5de-d03f-450b-88f8-a8fdc0240705] Another crash report : [https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../71c602f6-c682-4158-9880-24d6a0240705]

According to the crash table, the reason for the crash is as follows: EXCEPTION_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN / FAST_FAIL_GUARD_ICALL_CHECK_FAILURE This reason appears on all crashes.

Thank you.

Firefox on new laptop windows 11. (AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS with Radeon Graphics)

Firefox on new laptop windows 11. (AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS with Radeon Graphics)

Have noticed only when i use Firefox i get intermittent flickering on the screen. It does not effect browsing, though it has frozen on a couple of occasions. I don't know if that is connected or just something else.

I have tried two trouble shoot 'fixes' i found whilst looking for a solution and neither have worked.

1 - turning off recommended performance settings and hardware acceleration. 1b - turning hardware acceleration back on.

2 - checking in troubleshoot mode to see if it's an extension. Flickering happened in troubleshoot mode too.

I'm using Firefox 126.0.1 (64-bit) in Windows 11. I needed to download two files named index.html (in different source directories) from my company's content management system. Both got downloaded as index.htm. They were the right files... only the extension was changed.

I spoke to the person who maintains the content management system. They tested it and said it's not doing that, must be the browser.

That sounds fantastic to me, but I looked through the support messages here and found several about files whose extensions were changed on download; for example from .loa to .mp3. No explanations or workarounds, though.

Can anyone shed light on this?

macOS. Firefox is running. I enter: open -a Firefox --args -private-window "https://apple.com" (in Terminal or Automator) which I believe should open apple.com in a new private window, but although the focus change to the already open Firefox window, a new private window does not open. It does work (apple.com opens in a new private window) if Firefox is not already running, but I thought the -private-window argument is supposed to open a new private window whether Firefox is already running or not. What have I got wrong?

Hi MFirefox

I'd like to cancel Relay. I have been having problems with getting logged onto sites that I need quickly. This morning Norton would not let me on to see my privacy report.

Please tell me how to delete/cancel Relay.

Thanks, [email removed]@frontier.com

What I see: Misrendering of UI elements and some elements of webpages. Rectangular areas of all white with white on white text e.g. tab labels, settings page, etc.

What I tried. Uninstalling FF Reinstall FF Refresh settings

None of these fixed the problem for me.

Hello, everytime I want to open a website that I frequently use, Firefox fails to suggest it as first and rather suggests the "base" url. Example: I want to open https://www.arabdict.com/en/deutsch-arabisch but typing "ara" in the URL input field always suggests https://www.arabdict.com although the first link is both bookmarked and pinned on home. Can someone tell me how to fix this if it's even fixable yet? Chrome does this if you want to compare the user experience I'm missing since switching to Firefox. Thank you!

P.S: sorry for the first screenshot, I couldn't catch the suggestions menu with the built in screenshot tool.

One of the typical configuration in linux is to turn off the user namespaces and/or network namespaces. This is because most of the exploits in linux have been related to namespaces vulnerabilities.

If there is a Firefox ver 127.0.2, running on Linux in which the user namespace is turned off then the following is observed in the Troubleshooting information, i.e. about:support Seccomp-BPF (System Call Filtering) true Seccomp Thread Synchronisation true User Namespaces for privileged processes true User Namespaces false Content Process Sandboxing true Media Plugin Sandboxing true

So how come with the username turned off, the content process and media plugin is still sandboxed? Also is having user namespace turned off, as given above, a security risk?

However if the network namespace is turned off, i.e. max_net_namespaces is set to zero, then it renders the browser unusable. Nothing works. Why is that?

Is there some documentation somewhere where these namespaces and their impact is explained in detail?

I'm unable to watch videos on Crunchyroll. When I try to watch a video, the video becomes a static image of one frame. When I switch tabs and come back to the video, or hit refresh, it changes to the latest frame of the video but freezes once again. I have the latest version of Firefox and am using a Macbook. Per suggestions I have found online, I have tried disabling all my extensions, deleting my cache, deleting the Firefox folder in my ~/Library, making sure DRM content is enabled, and uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox altogether. Nothing works. Was hoping to switch over to Firefox since Google Chrome has banned ublock origin, but I keep running into these obnoxious video problems. The same issue also happens on Amazon Prime Video, but only when I press full screen.

Hi, To who it may concern, a big thank you. I am a longtime Linux Firefox user. I had a secondary password, but somehow it has been deleted. I have changed my primary password and I have full access to Gmail, Youtube and other Google pages. My email address has always been the same for many years. It is recognised by Firefox when I type "My account on Firefox" though I am not allowed to enter another secondary email address.

I am almost 80 and not very computer literate.Kind regards,

Patrick Van Niekerk.

Is there a functionality to view Tabs Side-by-Side, or Vertical yet? Or is there a plan for it; similar to the recent version of Edge Chromium? I have read several questions; and their work-around solutions of using a side bar or sing two windows and arranging them side-by-side. Neither functionality offers synchronized scrolling. I used Tile Tabs or We Tabs add-on in the past which was great.

Hi I have lost all my bookmarks. I bought a new device. On downloading Firefox the the bookmarks toolbar was Google's. Now Firefox on my other devices has the the Google bookmarks toolbar. Help please.

Hello, Today I was writing a draft post on Substack and the screen refreshed every few seconds. Possibly when Substack was saving changes. Each time it did this, the screen would go blank for an instant and refresh, and then I would have to click to place my cursor where it had been.

This is new as of this week. I was not writing on Substack using Firefox last week.

Firefox version 128.0, on Windows 10 Home v 22H2

thanks Chris.

When I open my youTube home in Firefox browser is completely blank nothind is showing I don't have this problem in other browser. I have tried in the settings to turn the history on and off but nothing has changed.

As part of my job I need to fill in long content into webpages. Many of the words can be long and not so common in everyday language - but are words that I use many times in the report writing I do. Like with MS Word's AutoCorrect... Could there not be an option for custom work shortcuts, such as:

cst automatically becomes: custom prg automatically becomes: Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Crazy or what
