Hi Everyone,

I'm using the latest version of firefox 137.02 (64bit) I think it updated when the other day "checked for updates"

I was calling up someone on facebook messenger (app) only last Sunday and everyone was fine today the same deal I get this message as attached.

All the camera privacy options are on to "allow" and still it won't fire up.

When I open up Google Chrome it works fine.

Any Ideas on this please?

Hello, I have all of a sudden having issues using We Transfer to download files in Firefox. It stops short of the full file, but says it is downloaded. I contacted We Transfer and they asked me to use the private window option. I did that and it worked. I told We Transfer and this was there response.

Incognito mode works without extensions, so if it worked in Incognito and not in the regular mode, please try to disable all extensions/firewall/ad-blockers to see if it helps with the normal mode.

I don't know how to find these in Firefox to do this.

Please help me.

Thank You,

John Davidson

I recently found that I could not log into the Freecycle website using FireFox but I could log in using Chrome. The difference between the two was a revision to the login page which appeared on Chrome but not on FireFox. I contacted Freecycle and they advised clearing the cache, restarting FireFox and trying again. It was still not possible to login so I tried clearing everything I could find but nothing worked. I tried disabling my protection software, Webroot and Malwarebytes, but again no success. Whatever I did I still got the old login page. However I started the Firefox private browser and it was then possible to log in to Freecycle. Can you please explain what is going on? John Rieley

I have bookmarks for the application Obsidian, which uses the obsidian:// protocol, registered in Windows. I type the bookmark keyword, it opens the protocol, and asks to confirm whether I not want to open it.

While I wish I could get rid of the entire dialog, I understand that's a security risk, and I understand that the manual delay is ALSO a security detail (to prevent errant or intentional mis-clicks by malicious websites), I want to disable it.

I'm aware there's a lot of hidden configuration options, but I can't even find the name of what this dialog is called. Every search I have for it yields unrelated results. "Open with" is the only idea I have now, so maybe I should start searching for what the integration or protocol is called within Windows. Maybe that'll put me on the right track.

So, can I disable OR 'configure the confirmation dialog, either altogether OR the delay?

I use the collections on mobile like bookmarks bx they're not hidden behind 15 menus I need to merge a couple that got separated and are takin up space but there s like 300 tabs and im not selecting them all at once how do I select all to add to a collection or how do I paste a copied tabs list to a collection

Firefox has been running incredibly slow. I currently only have this window open, but if I open my task manger it shows 10 Firefox windows running. If I right click and end task, it will end the task, but shortly there after a new one will pop up. 1 of the is running in efficiency mode. I assume this is what is slowing down performance, but I do not know how to fix.

Firefox 137.0.2 64 bit

I've recently set up on a new desktop running windows 11.

My previous setup had windows 10, but the same version of Firefox.

In the past, when building web pages in php, I'd always used Firefox to preview the html elements of pages offline. I've not used a testing server on Windows as I'd rather test the PHP elements on the live server. Firefox was just for testing the html / css design elements, which it worked very well for.

Now, on my new computer and windows 11, when I try to open a php page offline with Firefox I get a window asking me what to do with the file - "open with" or "save file". When I choose "open with" and choose Firefox, Firefox opens up another tab with the address of the file in the address bar, but no content below, and then another window pops up asking me what I want to do with the file. This goes on indeffinately if I keep clicking "open with". There's no issue with the files I'm trying to open as I can open the exact same files on my win 10 computer with the same Firefox version and the display just fine. What's going on?

How do I search the Firefox History section to Exclude results with certain words. For example, if I had searched for Firefox and Thunderbird, and wanted history with Mozilla but not Thunderbird. A minus sign before the word(s) to exclude does not seem to work.

Using latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 Regions.com login page. Type in user name, click on continue, get error message: "We can’t locate that page right now." "This could be because the system returned an unexpected error or is temporarily unable to process your request. Please try again later."

Many problems with the new Yahoo e-mail. To send an email, I have to close Firefox, open it, and send the email. There are many other issues." Parts of the interface rolling up, for example, it rolls up, and I cannot get to the "to" send space for the address. Across the top of the pane, the "reply, forward, delete icons are not there. If I restart, they sometimes all return. I cannot empty the trash . . . It goes on and on. Thank you. I've been with Firefox for a long time.

Thank You in advance for this great community's help.
