Firefox Community Forum

Hello. i noticed that my shortcuts are missing. i went to settings to check if it's enabled (check mark) and it is in fact enabled. tried to reset my computer and the shortcuts are still not there. on the main firefox page there is actually no shortcut icons on there...at all. all of the options in settings work with the exception (of course) the shortcuts. i would like to know why this is happening...thx

with this new version i lost everything i need to get back to an older version and get all my extentions my bookmarks back all my s desktop items that i had linked to firefox are gone i can no longer get face book or anything back to firefox book marks every thing i had with firefox

and

simply that except for the odd ocassion, I cannot download documetns generated by Copilot when i'm using firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and it worked on Edge but for a while and then i started having problems with that as well. For several months when i first started usin Copilot, it worked fine and then suddenly I started having problems.

Until some days ago I could use the add on "Video Downloadhelper" without problems on my old Macbook Air (2017) with OS10.15.7 but suddenly the add on was not available anymore. I purchased a valid license for this add on. In the Firefox adjustments it was mentioned as deactivated. Could you please let me know, how I can activate the Video Downloadhelper again? Thanking you in advance for your kind support. Sincerely, Ulf Gaertner

We run the www.rarlab.com website and several users have complained that the download of the exe file for the English version of WinRAR 7.20 downloads a 0mb file and is also flagged as malicious. The file can be downloaded easily on the Edge browser and it is considered safe by Google too.

Hello everyone,

We are currently investigating an issue where browsers are sending HTTP requests with Connection: close in the header during integrated Windows authentication (NTLM authentication) via SAML Service Provider (SP), leading to premature termination of the TCP connection.

This behavior occurs in the middle of the authentication process, preventing the NTLM authentication from completing and subsequently prompting for re-authentication.

We have observed the following browser behaviors:

Chrome and Edge: These browsers function without issues, communicating with Connection: keep-alive. Safari (macOS): Older versions of macOS with Safari exhibit the Connection: close behavior, leading to authentication failure. Newer versions of macOS with Safari work correctly with Connection: keep-alive. Firefox (macOS): Even on the latest versions of macOS, Firefox continues to attach Connection: close, resulting in authentication failure. Upon reviewing logs, we've identified that various browsers attach the Connection: close header during the NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE request in the NTLM authentication sequence. Although this happens in an environment with a load balancer, we have confirmed that the load balancer is not modifying the header; rather, the client (browser) is adding it.

We would appreciate your insights into the conditions under which Firefox attaches Connection: close to HTTP requests, especially considering the differences across macOS versions and other browsers, addressing the following points:

Are there any known conditions or past cases where Firefox outputs Connection: close in an NTLM authentication environment via SAML SP? Given that older Safari versions show similar behavior, we are also considering if there's a common factor depending on NTLM authentication and browser version. What are the general heuristics, logic, or triggers for a browser to decide to "close" a connection or to attach Connection: close? We are particularly interested in cases that occur mid-authentication process. Could specific configurations (e.g., the combination of SAML and NTLM authentication, or the presence of an intermediate proxy/load balancer) potentially influence Firefox's Connection: close behavior? Are there any additional logs or debugging information we should collect from the Firefox client side to further pinpoint this issue? Any guidance or suggestions you could provide to help us resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I can't login to my Facebook account? But I can login to other browsers,

Can you please help me on this.

Thanks.

after confirmation and approval nothing changes on screen.

I don't plan to use any provided AI chatbot. I want to use models that I have downloaded and tested myself and which run on my PC. So please add the possibility to connect through major LLM APIs, the same way other tools way simpler than Firefox already allow to do.

i can't use the microphone in the AI chatbox. i have been to several sett tings in different places and none have the option to allow it'. I clicked on every gear icon and setting link (and AI chat link) i could find in the firefox browser
