Hello,

I have done some looking into this issue, what I have found is it is a cookies and cache issue. However I have added youtube.com to the exceptions list for each cookies setting mentioned but yet every time I load youtube on a fresh mozilla instance it makes me send a verification to youtube on my phone, then loads a oops sorry we cant load this page with a youtube search bar on it. I can't figure out how to keep my sign in on youtube, and having to send a verification link to my cellphone every single time is getting tiresome. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Is there a way that I can modify a css script to allow more text from a webpage link to appear in the bookmarks toolbar at the top of the page? The standard 18-20 characters isn't always enough. Thanks.

If I want to edit a URL or type one in or just use the address bar as a search bar, the field converts to a light blue highlight as soon as I click on it. I am no longer able to see what I am typing or to check what is there. No type shows up at all, even if I highlight it, though I know it is there.

The first screenshot shows what I see as soon as I click on that field. Before clicking, I will see the URL.

The second screenshot shows what happens when I try this on a new page without a URL already in the bar. After a few characters, what I'm typing appears in a little popup right below the address bar. I assume this is normal. But if I want to see or revise a URL, I am not able to see it in order to do so.

I can’t figure out how to fix this! Any ideas?

Why are you trying to 'Block' this Newsmax TV video? If this censorship nonsense continues, I WILL switch to a different browser! Prof. Timothy G. Wiedman, DBA tgw51@yahoo.com

Hi there. I wanted to add Block site extension to my Firefox browser on iPad. Is this possible? It keeps asking me to download Firefox which I am already using. If I try to download it again it won’t complete so it seems impossible to do this. With thanks. Col.

About a month ago, firefox stopped remembering a download location, it's only on one website though. I can download from anywhere but there and it remembers the location but it won't from that site and that's where I download from the most.

I have a new computer and I want to reinstall my previous FIREFOX browser that has all of my bookmarks with it. I know my password and I have a recovery key. I need simple directions on how to reinstall and how do I make sure I have my bookmarks? Also, on my last FIREFOX browser,when I opened it I had FOX NEWS that appeared. I need to know how to have FOX NEWS come up when I launch FIREFOX. I would really appreciate your help.

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.

This was ALSO occurring BEFORE I switched to ESR, in both types of windows (Private & Standard):

A click to open a website link results in Firefox doing a runaway, unstoppable, rapid opening of tab after tab after tab. The only way I have found to stop it is to close Firefox entirely, losing the tabs I was working with in addition to the runaway tab openings. Any solution?

Windows 11 Pro Firefox 128.2.0 ESR (also behaved in same way using standard release version, as well as ESR)

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?

The amount of memory firefox takes is drastically higher (2GB + tabs and extensions) on Apple Silicon when compared to having the same tabs open on windows or linux.

When I look into the memory tree generated at `about:memory`, it seems that the `heap` is allocated nearly 1.5GB.

I am just a computer science student at the moment but that seems unusual to me. Please find the attached memory-report.json.gz file here

Hello, and apologies in advance if I am missing something that would easily solve this problem. The other day, I was trying to open Firefox like normal and noticed my 100+ tabs were all gone. It was tough since I needed many of those for work and academic purposes, and couldn't seem to recover the window properly without having to manually click through history to get every tab back. I worked on getting these back for about an hour, and couldnt get every tab back in its entirety, unfortunately. I looked through these forums and Reddit for solutions and kept seeing that a fresh reinstall could help, so I did so. I kept getting a message saying that I had an "old version", so maybe I accidentally got an old version. I couldn't avoid the error, so I did an uninstall via Window's uninstall panel in settings. When I opened the new install of Firefox back up, all of my bookmarks are completely gone, all 11,000+ of them, in fact. Again, a lot of these are needed for future work purposes, so it's a bit frustrating that its all just kinda...gone. I tried finding backups, but the latest ones are from the reinstall, 9/13/24. I can't find a profile either that has the previous bookmarks, which is worrisome. I tried logging into Firefox on my phone- same deal. However, my history is intact, as well as all of my saved autofill passwords. I can't find old profiles from that old install (that I assume were deleted with that uninstall. Probably should have been more careful before that, since I got the impression sync would work, lol) that aren't before 9/13. I tried syncing in settings, logging in and out of my sync profile that I've had since I first got Firefox on my computer. Is there anything I can do about this? How come the bookmarks are all gone, yet the rest is just fine?
