Firefox Community Forum

My original thread got archived so I'm displaying it again here for reference and so that I can post the fact that I am happy to report that the developers have now corrected this issue as of the latest 135 release. Here are the basics of the previous posts minus the screenshots:

• • • Blue progress bar no longer showing after clicking on download icon in Firefox ***

9 months ago 5/4/24, 7:44 AM

Some months ago, Firefox stopped displaying the blue progress bars that would normally show once you clicked on the download icon. You still see the usual file info but now the progress bar of the download is gray instead of blue and is extremely hard to see. But if you click on the "show all downloads" link, then the blue progress bar will show as usual for any in-progress downloads in the Library window, as shown in the second screenshot.

It isn't a huge issue but is still annoying when you just want to quickly see the progress of downloads in Firefox. I haven't changed any of the colors in Firefox or in Windows for that matter, I'm currently running Windows 10. All other dialog boxes, windows, etc. all display normally on my system. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem and hopefully a future update can take care of it.

Thanks very much!

I'm still seeing a good color contrast on both the system theme and dark theme (with a smaller file, though). It looks like gray is used when the download is paused (third part of screenshot attached).

Your screenshot doesn't say that the download is paused, but I wonder whether the gray indicates that it is stalled, i.e., not proceeding? On the other hand, if the Ctrl+J Show All Downloads list has the blue bar, then maybe that's not intentional. I think someone will need to dig into the mismatch further.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

   Switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
   do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Thanks for the replies. The download was not paused in the first screenshot, it was progressing normally. And I started Firefox in Troubleshoot mode and that made no difference, still have the gray download progress bar instead of blue.

As I mentioned above, this issue has finally been fixed. It may have taken them nine months but at least they got the job done. :-)

Every time I try to open an HP website -- hpsmart.com -- I get the error message below. I have to open the site using Safari (when I'm much prefer to use Firefox). Can you help me fix what's wrong?

BTW, I didn't understand the posting about security connection issues and my error message seems different than the ones highlighted in the article. _______________ An error has occurred invalidRequest X-request-id: a6547f80-e155-11ef-b409-| d532a6575ae7.db7795a0-ee4b-11ef-b409-| d532a6575ae7 Copy IDs to clipboard

When I open my iMac desk top using Firefox I don't see my msn.com page. Instead I see an apple screen with all my bookmarks listed again at the top of the screen shaking. Please help me. Thank you.

I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.

For a long time I've been experiencing freezing in downloads of all sorts of files sizes and different hosts. I start the download, sometimes they finish normally (if smaller sizes) but most of the time they freezes at random percentage and I have to restart from the start.

For downloading larger files are a pain, to have wait and need to keep restart if it freezes.

When I'm using others browser, such as LibreWolf and Zen Browser (forks of Firefox), it doesn't happen and all downloads work flawless.

I tried to go onto Weatherbell (www.weatherbell.com) and got the Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue. I had just been on the site 2 hours ago. Why all of a sudden is there a security issue? I cannot contact the website manager there, as I can't get on the site to email them.

Solution?

My firefox on this PC is acting odd. It does not open all my links that I expect to open. Some YouTube videos won't start, just go to black. And often sign-in links on approved pages do not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing changes.

I have been using Mozilla for many years but now all of a sudden I cant sign into my Delta Extranet account. This is very strange .. I did nothing to make this happen..

https://screenrec.com/share/CE3hjGg6bc I tried the suggestions clearing cache, history, Privacy settings and it still does not work properly

While using Dext there is a visual of the uploaded pdf file. Now there is a notice that my Firefox settings need to be changed. Dext does not have instructions for Firefox and I have not yet located the spot in settings to adapt for this. Looking for directions.
