Firefox Community Forum

OK so, I just updated Firefox to 115.34 Oesr (64-bit) on my Windows 7 Desktop. Before this update, it's been my practice to clear my cookies manually from unknown websites about 3 times a day, only keeping the "exception" cookies. But, since the update, there have been SOOO many cookies...something like 75 to 100 and EACH time I manually clear the cookies...even just minutes after I clear it and refresh the "Settings" page they appear again. And, the worst of it is that Google won't let me sign into Google websites like Play Store and Google.com search saying that "there has been unusual traffic..." and makes me solve capchas all day long. Other sites too say Unusual traffic like CVS and won't let me sign in either. And now, I'm not using a VPN.

I googled the matter and it was said to be was a known issue with the 115 update and the A.I. said to get rid of the ad blocker as a possible fix but, it didn't work. Have Firefox clear cache and cookies but that didn't work, changing "Tracking Protection" to "Standard". Nothing works. Is there an update fixing this issue? By the way, I have had Firefox set to clear cache and cookies upon closing. But the cookies pile up so quickly again. Thanks for your help

We thought this is simple. But it looks like we need to have words explained to us. Setting firefox to never remember history makes it produce some claims that it looks like it developers aren't really aware of the meaning of. Setting it to "Never remember history" makes it automatically check "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" and "Based on your history settings, Firefox deletes cookies and site data from your session when you close the browser.". After having done that firefox forces a restart. We use it a little bit and close it again. Then open it up and re-enable "Remember history". It will force another restart, and then suddenly remember all the things it was told not to remember. Like automatically relogging into google for you, opening tabs, and things like that.

So. Can someone explain to us the meaning of the words "forget", "never", "history", "clear", "cookies and site data", "every time", "close firefox", "deletes", "close the browser". We thought it couldn't be more obvious that what the user intends with these settings is for you to delete the user data. Like you claim you do. And then you wonder why people say firefox is bought and payed for by google. If anyone of you can find the time to take your tongues out of google long enough to define these words for us we would forever be thankful. Can please someone please teach us please english please?

Hi, I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 home. One of the things that has changed is that my downloads don't stay. After closing Firefox the download is there but if you click on it it says "File missing or moved".

When on the home screen and with setting "3 rows" for shortcuts, the third row has two missing slots and I cannot add extra ones to fill in the gap. I don't want to make it "4 rows" as it will show an "add shortcuts" button which I feel is unnecessary if I plan to leave the 4th row empty. It is also happening on LibreWolf

i have a new website tvbmaloha.com called "aloha bumper stickers" , and the order page does not display on my desktop mac , but displays elsewhere fine . the page loads but it is consistently blank. godaddy has been unable to fix this , as the page loads fine on other devices. any help would be appreciated. thanks ! it displays with crome and safari fine.

Please see attached. Netflix will not work. Never had a problem with any other videos so far using this amazing browser. Can we please get a possible update timeline for this - if possible at all?

bold textI am trying to restore bookmarks in Mozilla from a stored bookmark.html file. When I go to manage bookmarks and choose restore then choose file, it does not show any files. Please advise

We have a web page we've created that is linked to by multiple other websites. For two of the sites where this is linked, Firefox (only) gives a "The Page Isn't Redirecting Properly" error. Using the exact same URL to link from other sites works fine in all browsers. Once you get the error, if you click in the URL and hit enter, the page will load fine. Any ideas? When searching that error, all the ideas I find tend to focus on the individual user's system, but this is happening for all users.

Jakiś czas temu zauważyłem, że z Historii Ostatnio zamkniętych Kart znikają oglądane strony. Jestem już oburzony na to. Próbowałem wrócić do jakiś kart i nie było ich w historii. Funkcja ma być wycofana. Natychmiast. Jeśli będę chciał pozbyć się jakiejś strony to chcę sam to zrobić. Nie wy będziecie o tym decydować, ale użytkownik. Funkcja ma być wycofana. Natychmiast. Nie mam zamiaru z nikim o tym dyskutować, a tym bardziej z Sztucznym Idiotą.

1. This could be under-reported problem. People will have problems reporting this bug

2. Whenever I try to save anything (image, website, Ctrl+S, print website to file, Ctrl+P, screenshots, same problem) my Firefox tries to "Open" something instead. I see dialog window with header SAVE, but the final button is labeled "Open" and after clicking it usually nothing happens. A haven't been able to save anything since this update. Only system-wide screenshots work for me now.

I had to use another installation in order to attach screenshot here. In the problematic 149.0, after clicking "Browse..." and selecting file, nothing happens, and no upload, moreover button won't respond to clicking anymore. Then I force refresh, and this text within this form disappears, but attached image appears.

3. Yesterday I have updated my Firefox to 149.0, using official debian sources, mozilla-deb - 1.0 -

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/ mozilla main

4. I have Linux Debian, (old version, Stretch+backports, yes, I am moving things already to new hdd), maybe it's related: 4.9.0-19-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.320-2 (2022-06-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux )

In order to fill this form I am using separate installation 140.9.0esr (64-bit), you could warn Debian teams not to propagate this error.

5. I have checked Console and Debugger, but they seem website-related. This error happens on every single website. Tried already troubleshooting mode, same problem. Please help us.

Hello, the official mozilla page instructions for how to download Firefox for Linux (Debian 13) is wrong, it fails on Step 3 saying that the key verification is incorrect thus I have not tried the steps after 3.

I know Debian 13 comes with Firefox ESR but from my research this is packaged and maintained by Debian, I would prefer it if all my eggs were not in one basket and I actually had the real source maintainer updating my browser aka Mozilla.

I don't know what else to say, it is just incorrectly written or something, because Brave Browsers installation instructions are SOO much better and simpler, super easy works 10/10 times, and it's way fewer commands.

Please help, thanks!

Version 148 is very slow. When there are 5-10 downloads, other websites won't open. That's why I use version 140. And why are there so many files in the folder - ....profile\storage\permanent\chrome

Running Firefox 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro on an HP laptop. The feature/problem described works properly with Chrome and Edge. The problem occurs when accessing the following article:

  https://www.comsoc.org/publications/ctn/turning-fiber-sensing-system-magic-fiber-optics-sensing

If the window is set wide enough, there is a sidebar displaying, "Share this content in X". If the screen is squeezed down (i.e. drag the right margin to the left) far enough, the sidebar will disappear. That feature is handled properly, but as the window width is increased and the sidebar appears, the main body of text does not wrap properly. It appears that Firefox is not compensating for the width of the sidebar.

I have been using Firefox for many years and I was satisfied with this browser. For the last 2-3 weeks I have had a constant message that reads

We've detected a problem with your cookie settings. Enable cookies

I did everything, I deleted, I enabled cookies, cleared cache, but the next day the same message is repeated again. I'm tired of it because I have to retype my passwords every day and I'm close to permanently using MS Edge which serves me perfectly fine. Please give me the correct instructions on what to do to get Firefox to load my email normally again or I'm really going to quit Firefox forever.
