Firefox Community Forum

I can't access/change printing instructions in PDFs because of a popup about highlighting PDFs. I tried Settings/Privacy & Security/PDF settings. I'm supposed to scroll down to "PDF Viewer" section but that's not available in the drop down menu.

Since the latest Sequoia 15.3.1 update and the latest Firefox update, when I click on a link in a page, I often get a message that it "didn't redirect properly" and I have to click on the address bar to make the page finally appear.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS 15.3.1.

Overnight, the Firefox on both my computers has been updated without any warning. This morning, on start-up, it became apparent that Firefox thought I was starting from scratch - set as default browser, etc, etc - and I find that all my bookmarks have gone, along with most of my login passwords. It's like I've suddenly been blinded!! I've tried to follow the Help guides, but they're clearly written for someone with a greater understanding than I have, and the one thing I did follow ended in failure when the file I was to open in my profile appeared to contain nothing. This is not what I expect from a browser that has been my default for years! Please help - in the simplest terms possible. P.S. I have a folder on my desktop named Old Firefox Data, which appears to be from December, but I have no idea how it got there.

Since it updates on any page that I click+right button I get a dropdown with all the options, regardless of what I click on.

I am on windows 11 , firefox version 135.0.1 (64-bit)

I have just noticed that the Mozilla desktop defaults to Sydney Australia for location. Why is that? It is only one city in Australia and its not the main city. The capital City is Canberra. And each State has its own capital city and time zone.

Yes i did change it from Sydney. But my point is, that Sydney is not the default city in Australia for the purposes of location. It is simply one city.

Started using Netscape and been with Firefox ever since it started. For the last few months, I find that my Draytek 2866Lac router randomly crashes and resets itself when I am using Firefox. I cannot pin it down to opening any particular website but it seems to be related to opening a new tab / link. I have FF set to open new tab automatically and no extensions (other than British English) are in use. Using FF, I can seldom go more than 5 -6 hours between resets. Not using FF, I have now managed 2 days constant uptime on the router - which is a fantastic change! Is there something peculiar with my system and any ideas how I can get stability again please?

Now i installed an app with shortcuts to youtube and netflix for easy use now whenever i press either of them they open a new firefox windows with none of my info no firefox account logged in nothing like a fresh install and it is also that when that window is opened and i open another shortcut then another windows isnt opened and just a new tab is opened in the fresh install windows

I regularly back up my profiles folder (desktop running Windows 10) and observe a steadily-increasing number of files. Where/what are they? If cookies, I really don't want to delete all cookies, but neither am I interested in manually going through the list and deleting individual ones. I realize we're not talking about a major storage space issue (~ half a gigabyte) -- just curious.

I am new to firefox customization. I need help to understand, how firefox picks up CA certificates from the global ca-certificates path in ubuntu and uses them in their own cert9.db

Currently, what I am trying is, If I have a rootCA certificate (which I generated using openssl), I want to keep it in a specific path, such that when firefox launches, it picks up that certificate and uses it. How can i achieve it.

I have tried using the policies.json, which works. But are there any other ways to achieve it?

Firefox and Chrome

When I search for businesses and then want to see the phone number I have to click a ‘call’ button and that takes me to a pop up message (see attached)

With the question: ‘Allow this site to open the tel link with Firefox?’

But when I click open link it doesn’t work. So I cannot look up the business phone numbers! This only happens on Firefox and Chrome. On Safari the phone numbers show without the call button.

My main browser is Firefox.

Please help! Thank you.

For the past week or more the browser freezes up. A message comes up about "waiting" or discontinue. It often finally begins to work again; however the problem persists and very annoying. Can anything be done?
