Firefox supportforum

West Virginia has a website to download old death certificates, but they wont load. There's nothing but a blank page. I'm not positive that it's a Firefox problem, as a friend of mine who uses IE cant load them either, however, she CAN load them on her Tablet. As a historian, I really need to get these records for my research, so I was wondering if someone could go to the site and see of the records appear for them to be downloaded. This is a direct link to one of the records:

link text

While this is the main page were you enter the name you are looking for: link text

If you discover anything, please let me know. Thanks!

The google search bar on the homepage doesn't work, just does an infinite load, the same with google.com. The extensions I have are AVG Online Security, Malwarebytes, and AVG Anti-Tracking. The version is the latest version 116.0.1

Hi all, Since I've started using Firefox, at the few forums I visit (phpBB) the direct links to 'last post' don't work. In any other browser (mobile, laptop, computer) if I click the button to go to the first unread message, I go to the first unread message. In Firefox, it depends.

- Most of the times it will just go to the top of the last page of the thread, even if there are 2, 5 or 25 messages that I've read earlier. It will not go to the actual first new post. - If there's a new page of the thread (let's say page 4/4) with posts, but there are unread posts at page 3/4, Firefox will go to the top of page 4/4 anyway. And I'll have to manually find out if I missed new messages at page 3/4.

This week I bought a new laptop (Windows 11) and I logged in at Firefox with the same profile, hoping that the new device would erase this 'unconvenience'. However, it didn't. This makes me believe that there's an option I clicked once on my older device (Windows 10), but can't find back. Can you wizards maybe tell me where to find this box I need to (un)tick to stop Firefox from doing this? I tried using Firefox on my Android mobile once, but it had exactly the same thing, so I stopped using that and swtiched to another browser.

Something strange at these same forums is that if I click "Show threads with new posts", it will give me a list. If I visit one of the threads, go back to the list and hit refresh, sometimes not only the thread I just read will go to 'read', but randomly one or more other threads will also show up as 'read', while I never touched it. Bug?

Thanks in advance!

In other editors/browsers, when I select text block in multi-line textarea, it selects extra non-existing character at the end of line - see picture 1. When I try to move cursor without selection, there is no space at the end of line. I'd like to replicate this behavior in Firefox.

2nd picture - Firefox

Can I somehow replicate this behavior? - by changing browser settings, etc. - by editing site code - if possible this would be better.

A folder in profile/default/storage with the name 'moz-extension+++d215ed11-a9b2-4927-bd1f-9755184bbe53' is using up 800MB of data on my install and is continuously adding more data.

The above string (ending 'bbe53') does not match with any extension on the about:support troubleshooting info page.

How do I find out which extension is storage data in this folder?

Today 05-08-2023 when useing Firefox, im no longer able to use enter key to execute a simple google search. But it works fine on Edge. I don't want to be forced to switch to Edge, how to i fix it?? it just happened randomly. More precisely it's the center of screen search-bar that don't work. I can still use the standard (top) search-bar

I have already tried to update it, close it, nothing works. And i would really like to not lose all my settings by uninstalling it.

Same issue as reported in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1389882 However, since that has been archived with no solution, starting a new post.

Any fix or workaround? Went back to using other browsers for a while, came back and can see it is still an issue where you can't view any password protected PDFs over on https://outlook.office.com/mail/

I just installed a new TP Link router. Initially I was able to log in fine to http://tplinkwifi.net Later that night and today I try to access that URL again, and I either get a Not Found, or a different page that gives me hints on how to access the page I am looking for which is the page to control my router settings from. If I try to login with Chrome or Edge everything works fine. I have cleared my cache, history, etc. and it still doesn't work.

Now today I am trying to login to a hospital website and it also does not work even though in the past it was worked just fine. Again Chrome works just fine.

Any ideas?

typing does not match keyboard When I type a character I get a sequence of qwerty keyboard symbols from hitting the same character. for example when hitting "a" I get the following (I must cut and paste to get my typing in this support page. 34567890-=qwertyuiop[]asdfghjkl;'`\zxcvbnm,./-+\123456789

On Firefox 116.0.1, I am unable to make a post on LinkedIn. I have cleared the cache and cookies. I tried a different browser and I can make a post! So I have concluded that it is a Firefox issue. Hope this is addressed soon.

Since uploading the latest update today many of my webpages no longer appear properly. I have given you an example of one which has the URL of https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/Tottenham+Hotspur?type=ts You can see from the screenshot image that is added to this message what I mean. This is happening on quite a few websites now. Can you please advise a remedy or address the problem ?

Best regards Gary Roe

Hi, As of last 2 days (since the last upgrade) Firefox does is stuck on some sites. Some features on facebook would not load Some sites say that the servers take too long to respond - say they have troubles reaching servers. Some sites refuse to login or stuck (chesstempo)

Note then I tried all this on Opera - all worked. What could be the issue? cleaning cache did not help.

thanks, Mark

I believe I had originally installed Firefox while I was in the UK. Since then I've moved to the US. When I type "amazon" in the location box, the first option is "amazon.co.uk". I've looked for options to change this to amazon.com. I cannot remove it (there's no "..." to the right). I've downloaded and reinstall Firefox now that I'm in the US. I made sure my default language is English (US).

One thing I can't done is completely uninstall Firefox and then reinstall. I'd rather not lose any settings and so am saving that for the last resort.

Anything else I can try?

outlook.com, Facebook, and Starfleet Commander are not loading properly. It started with Starfleet Commander, and a clearing of cache and cookies routinely would temporarily clear it up. Now, I am having problems with both outlook.com and Facebook as well, and since the most recent Firefox update. outlook.com is opening but I cannot access the emails in my inbox and Facebook is unable to share posts. Also, in outlook.com, https links in emails from trusted senders are somehow being converted to http and then Firefox of course warns me not to go there. Of note, I downloaded Chrome temporarily for a backup and am not having these problems with Chrome, but of course, Google Chrome is nosy and ad-laden.

According to this support page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sync-custom-preferences#), setting ``services.sync.prefs.dangerously_allow_arbitrary`` to True will sync all my preferences.

I have set it to true on the two devices I want to sync (2 desktops, Windows and Ubuntu). However, the preferences are not synced. For example, ``browser.compactmode.show`` keeps its default value "False" on my Ubuntu installation, despite it having the modified value "True" on my Windows installation.

I have tried pressing "Sync now", and restarting the browsers - to no avail.

Could anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

I was using my computer and Firefox all day to watch videos, browse twitter and Tumblr and whatnot until around 15:30 my time, when suddenly Twitter stopped loading my timeline. I thought it was an issue with Twitter or my computer. I restarted my PC twice so far and rebooted my modem (completely unplugged, left it alone for a min and plugged it in again).

I still cant load my twitter timeline, not even in private with all extensions turned off. It does load Tumblr, but like 80% of the pictures/gifs, even profile pictures do not load. When I search for something on Duck Duck Go it sometimes works but most times it just stays blank. Youtube videos either do not load at all, or stop loading/load endlessly at some point. I am still able to navigate the Youtube website tho.

I really do not want to use Chrome, but the latest update is just unusable. Am I the only one?

(I forgot the word for modem, dont judge me.)

Hi, with reference to the above subject, the Tumblr, outlook and other sites do not display photos/ text, operate properly etc. All these applications work fine on other devices, Apple ios. The firefox has been restarted several times and also pc as well. No new installation or any other major change has been done. Thanks
