Since updating Firefox I can no longer connect to known good sites without getting "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue".

This includes U.S. government sites! For instance, try connecting to https://covidtests.gov/ .

Why completely block access to the site? Why can't I make exceptions or tell Firefox to accept the risk and continue?

How do I turn this odd feature that dims FF bars when window loses focus? As of look of it only tabbar and toolbar are affected. I couldn't find anything relevant under "about:config". Also some tricks with CSS didn't work for me, maybe because I have custom chromeCSS that brings tabbar under bookmarksbar and applies other customization so that FF window looks like old good FF before they started to put everything on a single line in the bar. Thanks in advance.

The newest version of Firefox now has what seems to be a permanent sidebar on the left side of the screen. This is incredibly inconvenient as 1) I have no need for it or any of the AI stuff and 2) I'm using an older screen that is square and so now web pages are contorted when I view them.

Please remove this bar or let me know how to remove it myself.

Thank you.

What has happened to the "More actions" menu button - the one that normally is in the upper left corner of windows (see the attached image)?

I have just installed a new PC, with Debian 12 and KDE (plasma 5.27.5); the other windows have this menu button, but not Firefox and Thunderbird. Is there a way to get it back, eg by moving the menu bar out of the title bar and back to where it used to be?

Please try again from home or contact us for assistance. IDID-4000" I get the same message on my laptop and desktop, both running Firefox. I can switch to the Edge browser and login with no issues. I have cleared cookies and used other suggestions I have read on the web, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated!

Firefox on my 2018 MacBook Pro started having issues downloading all file types after I disconnected Dropbox sync and backup. Each time I try to download a file, a failed message is displayed below the file name and type. The browser was using the downloads folder that was synced with Dropbox. After disconnecting Dropbox, I tried changing the downloads location, but the "Choose" button does not display a window. The result is the same whether the Always ask you where to save files is checked or not.

I have gone through the following steps trying to resolve this issue with no success.

  1. I have reset/cleared any configuration setting found using about:config and browser.download.
  2. I have launched Firefox in troubleshoot mode and tested downloads with no resolution.
  3. I have uninstalled Firefox and installed a fresh copy from mozilla.org with no resolution.
  4. I have set the downloads folder in Safari, but this did not provide a resolution. Downloads work as expected in Brave and Safari. The current downloads location is the Downloads directory on my iCloud Drive.

The second screenshot with the error attached in still referencing the Dropbox-connected Downloads folder. No other browsers are using this folder and the Dropbox app has been completely removed from my laptop.

I use Firefox for web development and need to be able to download various files throughout the day, so this has become very frustrating.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Where did they come from, some AI search or paid for vendor adds?

After upgrading to FIREFOX 133 everything became a mess !!

Most pages will RANDOMLY not load and show “Security Connection Failed” message, indicating mostly one of this two errors Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG Additionally and consistently trying to access Amazon makes it think I am a Robot, and shows a page with a Captcha but the images do not load (Image attached) 1Password fails in some pages (Such as CNN), the page shows an error message when userid & password are filled in, rendering it useless. NONE of this happen on previous versions of Firefox or on EDGE with the updated Norton360

I have tried: - Uninstalling, deleting all files and re-installing both Firefox and Norton 360 - Deleting the Firefox profile and starting from zero - Using Firefox without any Extension, it works for a while but then fails (memory overlay issue ?) - Loading a few extensions, again works for a while but then fails. If more trhan 4 or 5 extensions are loaded the problem is immediate (memory overlay issue ?) - Turning off Norton sometimes helps get to a page, and when turning it back on keeps working … Sometimes it does not - - Checked all indicaytions on support article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/secure-connection-failed-firefox-did-not-connect without any luck WHAT TO DO ?

First of all, why are there two Other Bookmarks folders? When I add a new bookmark, my routine is to open Manage Bookmarks, drag the new bookmark to the second (lower) Other bookmarks folder, then choose Sort > Sort by Name. I have also tried A > Z Sort Order. The sorts work within the Manage Bookmarks window, but they are not saved automatically, and I do not see a way to save them manually. Also, if I go to the Other Bookmarks folder on the far right side of the Bookmarks Toolbar, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the list to see my new bookmarks. They are not in ascending alphabetical order the way I want them.

Hello

I use Firefox 132.0.1 under Fedora 14 Linux. Whenever I click an urls in another application (e.g. Libreoffice, Keepass...) a new tab is opened in Firefox (according to Firefox's settings), but Firefox itself does not pop up in the foreground, it remains in the background. I highly appreciate the setting 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. But FF only comes to foreground in case I deactivate 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. How can I prevent FF to stay in the background in case 'open links in tabs instead of new windows' is enabled?

Thank you in advance
