I use Firefox for Mac. Often when I want to click on a link or complete an on-line form, a long list of unwanted suggestions pops up and orevents me doing this. Only by hitting Escape can I get control back.

By the way, I don't want any solution which involves clearing the cache, as I value that help.

When viewing any tiktok account profile page, for example this one , the videos do not show up, and says "Something went wrong, Sorry about that! Please try again later."

Here's what i did:

  1. Created new Firefox profile with default settings and no extensions
  2. Visited a TikTok profile, and saw it opens as expected
  3. Changed privacy.resistFingerprinting to true
  4. Refreshed the TikTok profile page, and the error message shows up

I opened the console and compared and there were new warnings:

  • Blocked https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok from extracting canvas data because no user input was detected.
  • Get user detail failed for getting wrong response

And 3 errors, when there were 0 before, all three read

  • Uncaught TypeError: _0x5e9eb8[_0x2bd187] is null

I want to delete all my web certs except for the top seven, which cover 99.32% of current web certs. I specifically do NOT want the EU Cyber Resilience Act to have the ability to insert their certs into my root store, enabling their member countries unfettered power to compel acceptance of their certs.

I tried following https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Changing_Trust_Settings, but this must be for an earlier version. I don't seem to have an Options/Preferences window. On the other hand I am pretty old & maybe just can't find it....

Any hints on how to do this?

After my PC rebooted, firefox will not open unless I rename the EXE to something else.

Steps already taken 1) Refresh firefox 2) reinstall firefox (including after wiping all data from PC) 3) delete parent.lock 4) check Microsoft account - I am NOT content filtering. I am the sole user in my "family" and the app lists me as the organizer. I have zero way to even set UP content filtering.

I am at my wit's end. I can't set it as a default browser because the EXE doesn't match.

"I've been experiencing an issue with Mozilla Firefox where it doesn't display the Silver Taxi Sydney Silver Taxi Sydney website correctly. Other websites seem to load fine, so I'm wondering if anyone else in the community has encountered similar problems with specific websites on Firefox. Are there any known compatibility issues or common solutions that could help resolve this problem? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!"

I had Firefox 120.1 on a Windows 11 Pro 23H2 system and everything was fine, then today Firefox updated itself to version 122 and all my bookmarks / settings and saved passwords disappeared. When I went to the bookmark manager there were no backups to restore but when I searched the C: drive for "Bookmarks*.json*" I found dozens in the profile that Firefox is currently using (about:porfile shows my default and there is only one profile on the computer) and I copied the most recent one from a couple days ago and used the bookmark manager to restore it. However I've lost all my saved passwords and I absolutely need to get those back, how can I do that?

I just built a new computer with all new parts and Windows 11. The old one is disassembled. I realized afterwards that I had forgotten to save the bookmarks and passwords into the formats that make importing easy. So I have the original hard drive where Firefox was located on (with Windows 10). Is there a way to copy/paste/import any folders and/or files from the original hard drive to the one on the new computer to transfer the bookmarks and/or passwords?

I can no longer request further information on sites where it is possible to click and the result will be displayed. For example: I read a national newspaper on-line. After reading the article I then have the option of reading subscriber comments. When the button is pressed page says it is loading - but nothing happens. If I then switch to Edge - no problem. So I guess the problem does not lay with the newspaper. Many thanks for your help.

The new selection "Copy without site tracking" may eliminate certain codes, but does not remove all invasive data (my term). Consider this common URL occurrence:

link text

The new filter does absolutely nothing to this and when I pass this kind of URL on to others, I do not want to include all that crapola. Currently I have to manually edit the link, which can really get tiresome when passing on a lot of links.

Is there a way to modify anything in Firefox to accommodate this?

Similar issue to the other posters. Firefox doesn't support streaming from amazon, netflix, or disney+. I have windows 10, a PC, an updated version of the browser, DRM content is allowed, and my widevine plugin has been updated as of today (12/10/23). Disabling all of my extensions did nothing to help. I can stream on apps and other browsers. Please work on a fix soon, or let us know what to do. Thanks.

I use a MacBook Pro. I recently created a new profile for Firefox (for work purposes) and set it as the default profile, because I'm trying to get off Chrome entirely. The preexisting no-longer-default profile contained all my "personal" data - bookmarks, extensions, etc. Continued using both profiles for about a week with no issues. Last night my MacBook updated and when I reopened Firefox, the new default profile was fine, but when I went into about:profiles and launched the secondary profile in a new browser, it was completely empty - no history, no bookmarks, no extensions, nothing. That's at least a year's worth of data completely gone. I've looked through support articles and past folks' questions and am just completely lost as to how to restore it or what went wrong. If it's not possible to restore that data, how can I at least prevent this from happening again? I've very much lost trust in Firefox profiles because of this. Help please?
