Firefox Community Forum

I'm unable to file this bug report by myself.

I wanted to sign up for a Mozilla VPN subscription to support the development of Firefox. The Mozilla website stated that I can only sign up for a Mozilla VPN subscription using a mobile device so I downloaded the Mozilla VPN iOS app from the App Store. I opened the app and an in-app Safari window taking me to a Mozilla account sign-in page popped up after a minute. The website stated "Oops, something went wrong. Please check your connection, disable any ad blockers, or try using a different browser". I didn't know what to do so I gave up and deleted the app.

A few weeks later, I re-downloaded the app and pressed the menu button on the top right of the in-app Safari window, then clicked on the three-dot button and "Show IP address" and was able to sign into my Mozilla account successfully after switching to my password manager app, which was Firefox.

However, I opted not to sign up for Mozilla VPN because Brave VPN was offering a similar service but with 10 simultaneous connections instead of just five and various vertically integrated services and subscriptions that Mozilla doesn't offer in Australia. I also wanted to share my subscriptions with my family without sharing my Mozilla account, which I used for Firefox browser sync. Separately, I was also unhappy that Mozilla VPN is a partnership between Mozilla and Mullvad since one of the two co-founders of the latter uses his wealth to fund 75% of a political party that refers to non-white immigrants as "parasites" and is actively advocating for their "comprehensive remigration". While I wanted to support Mozilla's mission, whatever impact Mozilla has pales in comparison to this.

I believe that the iCloud Private Relay IP address that I was using was blocked by the Mozilla accounts sign-in page and it is possible that most non-technical iCloud+ customers who face similar issues would choose not to sign up for a Mozilla VPN subscription via the Mozilla VPN app as a result. I don't know where to file this bug because the "File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products" page doesn't seem to have an option for Mozilla VPN. I was also unable to submit this via Mozilla Connect as I had closed my previous Mozilla Connect account and it is showing me a 401 error whenever I try to sign in with my Mozilla account.

I'm using Firefox from the official Ubuntu repository (packages.mozilla.org). I have used the (very cool) "translate page" feature successfully, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NL:Basisregistratie_Adressen_en_Gebouwen which I'd like translated to English. Even though Firefox thinks the page was translated, only one of the headings seems to be in English.

I would like to understand how to troubleshoot this and help you improve this great feature. Thank you in advance.

On Arch Linux with the latest version of Firefox, the interface elements turn black due to a theme loading failure. 'This issue persists even when using the default theme.

Going to Settings and disabling the theme (which automatically falls back to another theme) resolves the problem.Re‑enabling the problematic theme does not reproduce it immediately. However, the issue reappears after restarting Firefox.

My Firefox browser (nightly snap 154.0a1 on Ubuntu 24.04) has been misbehaving lately (~2 weeks now) and I'm at a loss why.

First, when I scroll using the mouse wheel, the scrollbar continuously shoots back to the top constantly during scrolling.

Second, when I type text in a Google box and hit enter key, it drops to the next line - like one would expect in a text processing application.

Third, when on YouTube, trying to rewind/forward video instead starts navigating to clickable links. Of particular note (see the attached screenshots) is the appearance of text (such as "Skip navigation" and "Volume" to name a few) - something I've never seen before.

This happens with a new profile as well.

Now, I know that nightly will sometimes have broken items but this is a weird one. I at one time thought the batteries on my wireless keyboard could be responsible but new batteries (confirmed new with a digital multimeter) did not change that.

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS fully patched. Anyone here with ideas on what it might be?

With Firefox 151.0.4 on Linux Mint I can login to https://www.ftb.ca.gov/myftb/index.asp with username and password, then I get the message: "You may have pressed the back button, refreshed during login, opened too many login dialogs, or there is some issue with cookies, since we couldn't find your session. Try logging in again from the application and if the problem persists please contact the administrator. " . Accessing FTB with Chrome works.

I'm running Firefox under Ubuntu, Ubuntu is using Wayland which replaced X11.

Firefox's User Agent string still refers to X11, this does not cause me any problem but I'm curious.

I realise some websites might be expecting to see "X11" and could get upset if presented with "Wayland" instead but in various walks of life telling the truth is often the best policy.

about:support in Firefox shows me:

User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:152.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/152.0 Window Protocol wayland

Good afternoon!

Translation (AI) is not working. There is no pop-up window, no icon in the address bar. I made the settings according to the instructions, reinstalled Firefox (152.0.4 (64-bit)).

Can you tell me how to fix the situation?

PS: I have attached screenshots.

Hello!

'I have the menu bar enabled-

When I go to "History", the settings

Restore Previous 'Session Recently Closed Tabs Recently Closed Windows

are greyed out.

I want my tabs back!

After connecting and signing in to Mozilla Connect, it seems impossible to actually log out. There is a log out option in the dropdown menu, but it doesn't work. After "logging out", when going back to the site one is automatically logged back in. This is true even after clearing all mozilla.org cookies, and closing the browser. If a different browser is used, first time access to the Mozilla Connect site requires username/email and password, but after the first access, the alternate browser is also perpetually logged in.

1. What mechanism is being used to identify me as the user after cookies are cleared ?

2. How does this fit in with Mozilla's claims to respecting user privacy ?

3. How do a log out of the Mozilla Connect site ?

Hello, I am using Linux Mint on a desktop with the latest version of Firefox. Two weeks ago I could login to the Discover website with no problems. Suddenly I can not log in, but get an error message that something is wrong and I can't login. I can login using Chrome on this machine. My wife gets the same message when she tried to login to her account on my computer. After several discussions with Discover, all I get is "it is not our problem."

I am having no problems logging into other accounts with Firefox on this computer.

I have not explicitly changed anything on the browser or computer. I have done some updates which included Firefox. I can login on a different Linux computer using an older version of Firefox. Of course the updates were also to the computer and I will ask the same question to the Linux forum.

I really like Firefox and would hate to have to change to Chrome.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi all the people,

I was just surprised to see this in an Apache HTTP log: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Firefox/58.0.1"

This bugs me. My first guess would be that a Webkit based Firefox could not be qualified as really Firefox. Although that, I could imagine a Firefox for iOS or MacOS based on Webkit, may be, but it says it is on Windows, which makes less sense.

I suspect this is a user agent string spoofing, but I just need to be sure (I try to get ride of far too invasive bots, while I’m afraid to disrupt browsing from legitimate web users).

With thanks and my apologizes for such a question which may looks obvious or strange to people who know for sure.

I have a home server 192.168.0.240 in my local network. Firefox does not let me in to my own pages. On the address line appears text "Not secure",

I have found no way to get in. I have there REALLY IMPORTANT TOOLS AND MATERIAL and I need it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !!!!

This is really stupid. I have used these pages until this weekend. I have had this problem many years, but always found some way to make it work. I am NOT going to buy a certificate to every server I have home. it costs $$$$.
