Firefox Community Forum

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Hello. I am setting up a site on Linux server using Apache as reverse proxy , with ASP.NET as application server . since installing SSL , I had few mixed content blocking that i was managed to fix using CSP directive in Apache configuration file. site has no issue with all browser except Firefox. the only issue is that in admin section , to configure a option. system will load a js file that simply a dropdown with list of options to choose from . when using Firefox , it tries to redirect that page to login page . for test , i clicked on the link i located in Developer tools , which directed me to login page , entered my credentials, and scripts loads showing the drop down box and ok button. is been 3 weeks i been looking for every solution and i have done everything .. but nothing have worked. now I am resort to having to use other browsers if i need to use that functionality in admin page. In page header file name : login , location : http://MYDOMAIN.ca/login?ReturnUrl=%2FAdmin%2FDiscountRulesCustomerRoles%2FConfigure%3FdiscountId%3D6%26_%3D1702682353293 , which are not correct . and browser such as Brave and Safari dose not show different path and file name and everything is correct. dose anyone know how to fix this .. ? i saw a solution mentioned as stated resting Firefox ,but can not find a way to reset , but i have reinstalled Firefox and constantly having this issue on this single section of the page . Thanks.

Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

hi, is it possible to import cookies.txt from another browser without using any extensions? im asking that since when im trying to import bookmarks, passwords or whatever, my previous browser that i was using is not on the list.

After installing a Firefox updated on Tuesday, I've been having multiple issues. The first issue I ran into was being unable to log into a work account that I have been using daily for 2 years. I was able to fix that issue by disabling the Enhanced Tracking Protection for that specific page. I tried that same fix for my other issue, but it is not correcting it.

I use a program called signNow to upload documents and send to people to sign/countersign. Since this update, it's not working on Firefox. I tried it on Edge and it works fine. When I upload a document, it's just blank. No text, pictures or anything at all. See attached screenshot. I've tried several documents and none have worked, but all of them have worked in Edge. How do I fix this so I can continue to use Firefox?

I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECT ANY SITES THAT ARE NOT ON MY BOOKMARKS. ANY ATTEMPT RESULTS IN SECURE CONNECTION FAILED. ALL SITES ON MY BOOKMARKS ARE OK.

THANK YOU

I have multiple duplicate "Other Bookmarks" folders populating my "Bookmarks" folder. I can't seem to get rid of them. Any solutions? If I delete one folder will all be deleted? Windows 10, Firefox 140.0

This started today 16-July-25, when scrolling on a web page whenever I stop scrolling with either my finger or my Dell active pen Firefox brings up a window with the site's images with a view button. I don't recall changing any settings or preferences, any and all help is appreciated. Leonard R.

We're attempting to disable either the Firefox Sidebar or the Firefox AI Chatbot via Group Policy, but it appears that Mozilla has not updated their ADMX templates yet to allow this change to be made.

Is this an accurate statement and if so, is there a timeline for when Mozilla plans to implement an update to remediate this issue?

Earlier I had a problem with Facebook. When I clicked on the Firefox icon on the task bar Facebook would open to my home page. Then, out of the blue, this afternoon, when I open Facebook, a small page would show up then Facebook would load. When I would close FB (x in upper right corner), that mysterious page of FB was there. Had to close it by clicking on the X in the upper right corner. Tried several things but could not get it to go away. So, I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. Got everything reinstalled. Now,when I click on the Firfox icon on the task bar, what comes up is the Facebook log-in page where I have to enter ID/password. Before, Facebook would open automatically. Any idea why this is happening and how do I get FB to open automatically like before? Thanks

Hello... So, a couple of weeks ago, there was a 15-hour blackout during a Windows 11 update. I had exited firefox, and was shutting the laptop down, and it asked if I wanted to update and shut down (or other options). I chose update and close. When the lights came on and the router booted back up, Windows finished updating. It works, but here is the rub: whenever Ffox runs, a couple of minutes into the sessions, it will start displaying previous session screens, screen saver-like: one after the other every ten seconds or so. I can't X out, because it disappears whenever I move the cursor. The images appear not only on Ffox, but cover whatever other app's screen until I move the cursor, which is irritating when you're trying to meet the deadline on a novel! Please help! I am running version 140, by the way.

Hey,

so, for many years I use firefox with hundreds of tabs, to keep that loading smoothly, I have the Profile folder on a RAM disk, which size is limited. Originally I started with 512MB which seemed plenty, but got bloated eventually, so I increased it to 700MB, then 800MB thinking it should be fine, cause "my personal data" isn't that much.

In the beginning i had to manually clear my own Website Data every couple months, deleting everything older than a year.

Currently I have to delete my personal Data every 10 days and only keep the last 2-3 months, to not run out of space... I also started to not visit heavy Websites with firefox, but with another browser that doesn't run of a Ramdisk, but despite all my efforts I need some other solution.

It feels like some files just keep growing over time without getting rid of old data, and storing new technical files, that i don't want in my profile folder... At this point, getting some extra 50-100MB that doesn't come from deleting my current data would be great... A way, to cleanup any unused data... I tried everything I could find, but I'm kinda stuck. Keeping all my Profile settings, customisations and still used personal Data is really important to me.

What is this new notification badge I now have on my Firefox Tab in the Windows taskbar. An annoying little number one in a circle that won't go away and won't tell me where the notification is coming from?

If I use the close window shortcut (ctrl+shift+w) in Firefox it fails to close the window and treats every action I try to take as if the shift and ctrl keys were held down. For example, clicking on a tab will select it as if I were trying to move it as a group, rather than switching to it. Or, pressing only the T key will reopen closed tabs as if I had pressed ctrl+shift+T. This behavior will persist in Firefox until I close out of it completely and reopen. This does not occur when any other application is focused and ctrl+shift+w is pressed, and the effects are isolated to Firefox only when it does occur. Due to this, I do not believe that it is a hardware issue, eg. my keys just getting stuck. I haven't seen anything online that even vaguely resembles this issue. Any solution would be appreciated, even if it is disabling the ctrl+shift+w shortcut, as I keep pressing it out of habit and needing to close and reopen all of my tabs.

I received two work-related files, one in PDF format and one HTML, both of which display blank pages when opened in Firefox. I am able to open both files in Chrome with no problem. I've been using/opening similiar files on Firefox from the same source for many years with no problems, so this came up fairly recently. Please help.

I have had this problem on several websites, but most recently Xfinity.com. Pages in their rewards page have buttons to accept a reward. These buttons don't show up in Firefox, but if I use Chrome they appear and work properly.
