Firefox Community Forum

Hello, Since receiving a recent update to Firefox (I am a long time user), when using Google as the search engine, I am required to complete a Captcha every time, because Google says it has detected unusual activity from my location. Firefox is/has been installed on my computer for many years without any problems. It is used as supplied with the following extensions:- Ad Blocker Ultimate; Duck Duck Go Search & Tracker Protection; Enhancer For YouTube; Firefox Relay; Malwarebytes Browser Guard; Privacy Badger. If I change the search engine to say "Duck Duck Go" I don't get any Captcha requirement. I use Bit Defender Antivirus protection. Malwarebytes Free is used as a periodic check and is not activated to work full time. This problem didn't exist until a recent Firefox update. The Captcha requirement happens every time I use Firefox with Google search and if I boot up the computer and immediately use Firefox and no other program I get the Captcha requirement. How can there be "unusual activity"? If I use Google Chrome Browser, I don't get the Captcha requirement, it's just Firefox. With all the extensions from Firefox removed I still get the Captcha requirement. Any assistance would be welcome.

The Microsfot365 tab keeps opening up in my browser, multiple tabs will open there is no time frame between. Sometimes one will open, followed by a tab every few seconds. Sometimes it's a few mins between the tabs opening. Two have opened since I opened this window.

Recently, I have been experiencing this inconvenience where a google search shrinks to one side of the screen in a vertical format similar to the phone display. The 502 error usually also comes along when the google search utilizes Gemini. I've tried other browsers like Microsoft Edge with no problems.

Firefox blocks me from several sites - error code 400 - 404 I was doing ID ME password reset and was blocked so I

canceled some extensions to stop blocking cookies but didn't try again yet as they were going to lock me out of ID ME

Firefox is continuously uploading or backing up then deleting it and then backing it up again over and over I am on a metered connection this is destroying me please help

Hello,

I'm building custom firmware for a Makerdiary nRF52840 USB dongle using GitHub Actions.

When I tried downloading the generated ZIP file, Firefox blocked it with the warning: "This file contains a virus or malware."

I removed the blocked download rather than overriding Firefox's protection.

The ZIP contains custom `.uf2` firmware for an embedded USB device. The GitHub Actions build passed its validation checks, and an independent ClamAV scan of the original firmware reported 0 infected files. I subsequently built and scanned an updated version, which also passed.

Original blocked build: https://github.com/flips96-art/hid-remapper/actions/runs/39094413639

Latest build: https://github.com/flips96-art/hid-remapper/actions/runs/39096517313

Latest antivirus scan: https://github.com/flips96-art/hid-remapper/actions/runs/39096868117

I understand that a clean ClamAV scan does not guarantee the file is safe.

Could someone help me determine why Firefox classified this download as malware and explain how to submit it for a possible false-positive review without disabling Firefox's security protections?

Thank you!

If I inadvertently closed a tab, I used to be able to go to the "recently closed tabs" menu and find it. Now, when I click on that link, there's nothing there. I can and do use the show all history tab, but that is much much more cumbersome.

A few days ago, I cleared my caches which may or may not be a factor, but I've done a lot of browsing since then.

Hi!

I am using the add on 'sidebery' for vertical tabs and I am so happy about and so gotten used to it! (No, sorry, I don't want to use the built-in option)

Today I updated to FF 157.0 and saw this annoying part in the sidebar (as seen in the image attached)! WTaF? o.O I didn't ask for them to take up space in the sidebar that could fit almost TWO vertical tabs! Can I somehow make it go away? Or do I have to contact the creator of 'sidebery' (which I don't think is the culprit)?

userChrome.css 'trick' with

1. sidebar-header #sidebar-box {

   display: none !important;  

} won't do either.

Thank y'all very much!

For at least a year now the download links on most websites and emails do not work when using Firefox. I must use a different browser to complete a download. After clicking on a download link, Firefox will act like it is going to start the download but then acts as if the link is being blocked. I have to use a different browser like Zen or DuckDuckGo to do the download. I have checked the settings and nothing has changed from the initial setup done years ago. This started happening several updates ago and has not improved but only gotten worse with each new update. As of now I can only use Firefox to download links from about 1 in 50 websites. There's not much sense in using Firefox as my default browser if I have to use another browser to download link contents from websites or my emails.

Recently I am facing this weird issue where every time I open FireFox, all my previous tabs are gone and it starts with a fresh window.

This happens even after the Account Syncing is turned ON under "Accounts And Sync" and "Open previous windows and tabs" is checked under the "Home and Startup" settings.

Hope someone can help me out as it is very frustrating to open the same tabs again and again!
