Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

When I click on the "Search" bar, my designated search engines (including Google)show on a drop-down list.

No matter which engine I select, it doesn't open. None of the search engines will open. How do I get them online again? It seems to have happened after the last Mozilla update. Thank you.

Hello, I had surgery on my thumb and I'm unable to type, except with one finger on my non-operative hand. I have been using dictation software to dictate everything that I need to type/write, then edit the text, then copy/paste it into the browser page or application that I am working with. This is rather time-consuming. I searched for a speech-to-text add on for Firefox, which is my default browser, but I did not find one. Does one exist? And if so, how good is it?

Thank you!

So, it happened again today. Saw their commercial on TV today and went to legacybox.com (NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE; they transfer VHS tapes, and other stuff, to digital) and got an email from them after closing the browser tab and leaving their website. While I didn't open the email, their email Subject/title was "Thanks for stopping by...".

All I did was look around their website for a few minutes AND DID NOT GIVE THEM MY EMAIL ADDRESS!

This is EXTREMELY DISTURBING!

PLEASE, If anyone here has the Video DownloadHelper extension installed in Firefox AND their Companion App (it costs ~$28, I think.. so don't bother if you don't have it). And make sure you've updated to a recent version, WHERE THEY HAVE YOUR EMAIL/Licens# IN THE SETTINGS (L click on the VDH icon, click on the gear icon, and at the bottom of the menu, click on "More settings....". If your email is there, PLEASE GO TO Legacybox.com AND SEE IF THIS SITE SENDS YOU AN EMAIL as this may help to confirm if Firefox is leaking emails thru that app. Thanks!

Hi everyone I'm trying to definitely restore my browser to start it from zero, since I'm leaving Edge to get back to firefox after some months. Problem is, everytime I try to restore setting, it automatically imports data (like history and bookmarks) and i must say it's NOT from another browser, but probably from my old profile. Saw a topic here saying i should disable some sync option, but this just doesn't work for me since I didn't even log into my profile. Firefox imports these data immediately when i click the restore button. Can someone help me on this?

i got this long bookmarklet https://pastebin.com/MZmzEy5C and its working on google chrome but not on firefox when i add it on firefox nothing happens no errors too so whats wrong? thanks for advance replies, btw this bookmarklet is use for my huawei modem web control panel it adds a lot of functionality to it

Hello. How do I do if I want Firefox to open a new window every time I click on the icon? I tried to insert the command "-new-window URL", which used to work before but it doesn´t anymore. Is there anybody out there who knows something about this?

Firefox is my default browser. I got this message 9/2/2024: Your browser is not currently supported for streaming Live TV and DVR content with DISH Anywhere. Please use a Chrome or Safari browser to access this content. This is the first time I have had this to happen. I have always been able to get Dish Anywhere on Firefox. I called and talked with support for my Dish account and was told that there had been an update on Firefox that has caused this. Is this problem going to be corrected?

Whenever I save a page, it takes two attempts to save correctly. 1st attempt, the page is saved to my bookmarks menu, despite selecting another folder. 2nd attempt, the page save correctly to the folder selected. I was wondering if anyone knew how get my browser back to one save attempt. Thanks for your help!

When ever I click on a youtube link I get a flash of the video and then "Video unavailable This content isn't available". But the video is clearly available as runs fine in other browsers. Since FF is my default browser this is a real pain and may force me to go to a different default browser which I don't want.

I have cleared the cache no change It does the same in incognito mode

Please help.

Thanks

SEE ATTACHMENT: So from where did the red-highlighted business appear from?

Clicking on OPEN NETWORK LOGIN PAGE results in the lower part -- PLEASE VERIFY YOU ARE A HUMAN - PRESS AND HOLD showing up. Pressing-and-holding only results in that PRESS AND HOLD business reappearing; no way to get past it. RESULT being that I am unable to access bookmarked websites as I always have previously.

If I click on the X to the far right of that line, the OPEN NETWORK LOGIN PAGE disappears and the lower PRESS AND HOLD does not show up. HOWEVER! Here is what does show up instead of a website being opened:

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at signin.centurylink.com. If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

- Trying again later only results in a repeat. - Network connection is quite well connected. - Firefox has ALWAYS had permission to access the web.

MAKES NO SENSE! Any informative assistance? Thank you.

I'm using Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (snap version, so it's updated regularly) and I've been having this issue for months. I use Network pane heavily as aid to develop the backend portion of a web site with a JSON based API. Now and then I need to repeat an HTTP request, so I use the "Resend" option, and everything's fine except I'm unable to see the server response. "Size" column shows "0 B" and "Response" tab is empty. I'm positively sure the server cannot distinguish whether it's a brand new or resent request and does not send empty responses. It's something specific to XHR requests, regular requests are not affected. Troubleshoot Mode doesn't make any difference.

Is this a known issue or something that only happens to me?

Hello,

In the settings I check "always ask where files are saved" but the files are automatically saved in the "Downloads" folder.

Is this a bug? How to solve it please?

Thank you in advance for your response

Sincerely, TD

Videos won't load in previously enjoyed timeframe or indeed et all sometimes. timeouts when loading pages. speeds are like 15 years ago even in troubleshoot mode and after refresh. when can I expect improvement?
