Firefox supportforum

after updating I can no longer see pages of open tabs, just the one I'm on. If I go to customize toolbar I can see the old open tab view, but this is awful for me. I want the old behavior back

Hi,

I have for some time (over a year) been using a remote server as a SOCKS5 proxy for Firefox so I can bypass my local ISPs filtering.

The proxy connection is setup using an SSH tunnel like this:

ssh -D 8080 -q -C -N -f root@<remote server> That sets up port 8080 on my local machine to listen for connections which will be forwarded to ssh on the remote server acts as aSOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy.

    -D [bind_address:]port
            Specifies a local “dynamic” application-level port forwarding.  This works by allocating a socket
            to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the specified bind_address.  Whenever a
            connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the
            application protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the remote machine. 
            Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS
            server. 

Tried it today and it doesn't work any more. I've attached a picture of my Firefox Proxy settings and a picture of the Firefox version I am currently running. plus a picture of the error I get when I try to access the BBC website using Firefox via the proxy.

I've tried all combinations of "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5" and "Enable DNS over HTTPS" with no effect. I've also tried it from "Troubleshooting Mode" and the same thing happens.

I also tried accessing https://www.bbc.co.uk through the same proxy by using the command:

curl --silent --location --socks5 localhost:8080 https://www.bbc.co.uk

and it worked perfectly.

I'd be grateful if you could have a look at it and let me know what is wrong.

Thanks, Alan

Hello! I've created a custom theme in firefox color, and I'm getting an error trying to upload it to the add-on developer hub. I downloaded the .xpi file and tried uploading it, but it only says Your add-on failed validation with 1 error. Received an empty response from the server; status: 403 I'm wondering how I can fix this, or how I can at least find my design that I saved within firefox color. I clicked on save, but when I tried making a new design in firefox color, it removed the old one. Now I'm having trouble finding my creations! If anyone can help I would appreciate it greatly :) Thank you. And as you can tell I am new to firefox color.

Hi!

I like to have my browsing history cleared after I quit Firefox, but I found out that this will break the action to open previous windows and tabs.

How to have these two options live together?

First off, this may be a duplicate, I entered my data then went to alternate page to extract config file, returned, pasted info, and submitted. I then got block indicated required fields not filled, this field and the 2 above, so please forgive me if it is duplicated.

Problem: I have the top menu enabled, and also auto-hide my tab bar. The latest update 108.0 64 bit has caused my tab bar to slide up into the menu bar when 'hidden', basically mixing the 2. This even occurs with only a single tab open. Makes it tough to access menu items going around the tabs. Addons are Ad Blocker Plus, Privacy Badger, Disable HTML5 autoplay, Forecast Fox Fix, and Ugly Email.

Is there a way that I can recover my New Tab page setup (just the new tab page) from a Macrium Reflect backup of my OS disk? I recently did some cleanup that cratered my FireFox profile (developer and beta also). I would like to somehow recover just the New Tab page setup from the os backup. Any solution? Thanks for your help.

I am mainly using firefox (108 at this time) in Linux Mint and I have sync setup with some others systems (even older linux distribs with icewease and windows). I have a lot of trouble with certain sites when my profile '~/.mozilla/firefox' is loaded and my sync account is connected or not. (seems to be related to javascript or similar - some wait circles never stop and nothing is displayed) I assume I have something corrupted in the profile. If move .mozilla/firefox profile and starts from scratch those websites are working good.

But I have a lot of bookmarks and does not want to restart from scratch. I already did that one year ago and it seems it when I restore sync when the problems arise.

Any idea?

I have a big problem with password security. While checking my passwords I see bad passwords, I click to remove and next day they are back again. I have deleted approximately 20 to 30 passwords and almost all have returned? Something is seriously wrong and I am almost positive a hacker has gotten into the computer? Anything else I can check???

I recently bought a drawing tablet for some editing and I edit pictures on a website but every time I move the pen vertically on this browser it scrolls up and down accordingly and so far none of the settings have been helpful for stopping this.

Hi,

Some pages are showing incorrectly after migration to the version 108.0.

For example Azure Data Factory page is looking like in the picture 001.png. But it should looks like this in the picture 002.png.

Dear Firefox, It is a matter of great regret that your popular browser has failed to sync back my saved bookmarks and other data once i reinstalled firefox. This issue is not new as it happened to me before.. Last time I didn't bother as I thought this might be an bug but today once I reinstalled firefox and signed in.. It seemed that firefox has yet once again failed to syn all my bookmarks, data, extensions etc... It is a huge pain as I cant keep on repeating myself to save all the extensions and preferences.. please solve this issue or I wll have to seek other browsers

I used to get images off web pages easily, now I just get an html link, which when I try and copy to powerpoint presentation, just gives me the link address and not the image! Very slow and unusable in the end. please help me to get to jpg or png as before.

Why did you all of a sudden completely eliminate tabs? I don't want to have to click a drop-down menu to view my tabs, or now have to right click on a tab in menu to delete one. I just want to see tabs, as they normally should be, all lined up in a row when I look up at my screen. WHY did you change this?!!

Had to refresh Firefox but lost my bookmark sidebar & can't find a way to re-establish it. Used to be a setting for it at the top of the home page but none now. Can't find it in settings.
