Firefox Community Forum

I've been getting messages labeled Moxilla Firefox that tell me to "click here to fix the error now" or "turn on your virus defender" for issues like virus attack, trojan virus, critical alert, etc. Is this a scam or do i need to click? I've been clicking on "Dismiss" to make them go away but they keep coming back. Getting 50-100 a day.

Hello!

A very important email folder in my Thunderbird just vanished. I didn't touch anything! My email was downloading very slowly and so I closed the entire Thunderbird application. When I re-opened it, the folder was gone. Everything else is there as before - all other folders, my inbox etc.

I have no idea what happened or where the folder went. I can't find anything online that addresses the problem or how to solve it. I'm very much a tech novice. I need a solution that a 5 year old could navigate lol

S.O.S. Cara

In the past 30 days I had these accounts hacked:

3 gmails accounts (all of them the hacker was using Firefox 50)

Microsoft account

Xbox account

Facebook

All my sites (Hostgator blocked my account)

I ran a antiviurs on my PC and cellphone, and nothing was found

Any ideas/suggestions?

Is it safe to have my passowords saved on Firefox?

Thanks

I need step by step instructions to create my NEW account, because I couldn’t enter the code to confirm my account, and now I can’t sign in , or anything. I would like to sync everything as well. Please advise. Thank you

I like using google because they are pretty much the only option I have for a lot of things because I mainly use my phone, but I just have a strange feeling that they are always listening and I'm not getting certain searches or the most out of my phone that I can with just there stand alone, apps and when I try to download or install certain apps or use certain things. It just always seemed to have a problem with so i'm trying to go around google, but yet still use google if you know what I mean.

Flickr.com will not display properly. I get misplaced text instead of photographs. Flickr will display properly in SlimJet. https://gyazo.com/f9a96b57496bfba29b16d967ef42a0db

The LLMs said your sync website has that ability, but I can't find it. Is than LLM hallucination or simply disabled or something. I really want to not have to recreate these links.

Thanks!

I am looking for some bank statements that I downloaded a year ago and they have disapeared I can't find them any more, I didn't delete them as I need them. How can I find them or restore in downloads?

Your election-related "news" links on your home page only include anti-Trump calumny. You are a bunch of leftist lunatics supporting the overthrow of our Constitution. No, I'm not a far right lunatic -- I'm a Ph.D. (Psychology, U. of Michigan), a former professor for 23 years, and a consulting statistician for 19 years. I've also been a user of Firefox for at least 15 years. I will no longer utilize your browser and will exert influence on everyone I know to cease using your leftist propaganda instrument.

I have dealt with this tiny font problem before but did not retain the fix because I actually thought I had solved the problem once and for all.

BUT, I wake up this morning, having made no changes to this laptop overnight, only to discover that the fonts on my Firefox browser controls are tiny tiny tiny.

I expect Firefox/Mozilla to resolve this LONG-STANDING problem once and for all. I have made no changes to this browser in the last 24 hours. There were two MS updates that occurred overnight, but I doubt this affected the fonts on the Firefox application.

If there is a straightforward FF/Mozilla doc that addresses this problem (since it is recurring and well documented by others over the years), I would appreciate a link to this document. And if there is a known problem with certain MS updates I would appreciate knowing about this as well.

TIA

I know that typically mozilla does not put a low bound on advisories, and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-40/ is the advisory for vulnerabilities fixed in ESR 128.2. CVE-2024-8387 is listed here. yet the advisory for 115, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-41/ does not list this vulnerability. Was this something that was only impacting 128 (for the ESR builds) or is there a mistake that either 115.15 did patch it but it wasn't documented, or the patch has been missed and ESR 115 is still vulnerable?

This is a terrible idea and hasn't been in vogue in what, >5 years?

Also the reason I'm leaving Firefox, it DOES NOT, BY DEFAULT, USE THE _EXACT_ URI I put in the URL bar.

adieu. going back to the worse browser, chrome.

I keep the browser open and at some time my C drive has limited disk space.(~100mb) Then extensions stop working and after a browser restart, all extension data are lost. In my opinion current extension data shouldn't be lost even if disk space is limited.

Is it possible to remove the border/frame lines around the Menu Bar and the Context Menu in Ver. 131.0.3 to make it look like Ver. 100.0.1.?

Experimenting with userChrome.css only seemed to change some things such as background color and padding size of the context menu, but as a css noob it’s no surprise it didn't work when trying to remove borders, remove margins.

Attached is a screenshot of Ver. 131.0.3 (upper) and which parts of the menus I'm looking to customize or revert back to the style of Ver. 100.0.1 (lower).

Tysm for you time. bteg
