Firefox Community Forum

I have both Win7 and Win10 on separate drives. I have been migrating from 7 to 10. From all appearances Firefox on both OS's are sync'd. I have asked for my passwords to be sync'd, yet they have not migrated to Win 10. Bookmarks have so I know something is working. Any advice? Thanks Chris

I am having two problems, both related to downloading files only on Firefox, these issues don't occur on other browsers when downloading the same files.

The first issue is that when downloading a file from Google Drive, the download always fails. It opens up a menu asking me where to save the file but the files name is "download" with no extension, when starting the download it will fail. In the images below you can see what it looks like. This happens with most files on Google Drive, usually those larger than 50MB (a VERY rough estimate). Both in the default tab and in the container tabs I use.

The second issue is very similar, when downloading a file, this time from anywhere on the web, when asking me where to save the file, the name of the download is a string of random letters and numbers with no extension. When starting the download it fails because the name is too long, after renaming it to something shorter it still fails. I don't really have any sites I can give as examples because this problem only occurs randomly.

For both problems I have tried attaching the correct filename and extension but it still fails.

Hey

Iam not able to start the moz firefox browser. I think because of a broken profile. Unfortunately iam not abke to fix this. If i try to open the profiles (windows+r: firefox.exe -p) nothing happens.

What could I do?

Thx

In the last few updates, it has screwed up the placement of the macos window control buttons (red, yellow, green) by right justifying them at the top of the window. I have not changed my configuration since updating firefox code. I disabled themes to no effect. How do I move the window buttons to their normal place at the upper left of the window. No other browser or window has this issue, only Firefox (now at 127.0.1). Running MacOS 12.6.3.

None of my extensions would functionally impact this issue and I haven't installed a new extension in years.

Will 'someone' please call me back So I can explain my question more specifically? My security protection program states IT is unable to update (or indicate that my Mozilla browser account is already updated) my Mozilla Browser to version to xxx.x.2? Thank You

I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

I imported my bookmarks through an html backup but I dont see them on the bookmarks bar and when I sync my chrome browser data everything is all screwed up How can I import my chrome data minus bookmarks

Hello, i want to know if i can use dark mode in the main web sites of mozilla, like support page or account page, becase it hurts my eyes when i want to switch from other sites where i at least can use some extension to fix it but all mozilla pages always bright white. What i have to do? Thanks

I login to my secure bank account and when I click on one of my accounts to open it it just sits there and constantly has that spinning wheel. It will never open. I can use my IPHONE and other computers or web browsers and it works fine. I think this started when Firefox popped up and item that I assumed said allow pop ups. I just clicked on it and ever since then it won't work. This is only MAC Air notebook.

I'm not sure where the issue is exactly, but I suspect its something to do with different standards of storing images in clipboards.

If you see the images, this is a screenshot of an Excel grid, taken using win 11 snap tool (shift+win+s). I paste this into paint.net (5.0.12) Then select all and copy/paste into Confluence using Firefox. The edges of the images are either shifted, or a line is added.

If I use Paint instead of paint.net, it is ok. If i use Edge instead of Firefox, it is ok. Saving the file as png and importing it and its ok. Pasting from paint.net into Powerpoint and its ok.

Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it? I'm going to ask Atlassin (Confluence) and paint.net help as well.

When using Microsoft Outlook Online, I cannot right click and paste into the body of the email when using Firefox. The paste function does not even show up as an option. This use to work until I downloaded the most current version of windows 11. I can CTRL V and it will paste. It works on Edge and other browsers.

I am not tech savvy. Have been using FF for years now. Today - out of the blue - I am unable to paste anything into Outlook Email/microsoft 365 when in the FF browser. Can do it in other browsers but not FF. Any tips or ideas? This is killing my productivity!
