Hello, I've been with this problem around for a month, I installed Fedora Linux in my desktop and some videos it doesn't reproduce them at all, I get the error "Occured an error. Try again later (ID: variable id)". I can reproduce the video in other devices like Android or Windows.

Example video: https://youtu.be/jPtSAE6gLjQ

Details: -Browser: Firefox 115.0 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Fedora

-Fedora 38 Linux 6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64 -Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Asus Dual Radeeon RX6750XT

When browning some site will cause a Firefox to freeze, all UI stops working, if I try and reload the page nothing will load and if I try and close and reopen Firefox I get a zombie process that last for about a minute. Obviously this is with no ad dons or hardware acceleration and nothing is listed at about:crashes. The only useful tip I have comes from the command prompt. First when the freeze is first triggered I get the errors ``` MESA: error: Failed to query drm device. libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen MESA: error: Failed to query drm device. libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen ``` and when I try and open it after a freeze and there is still a zombie Processes ``` [Parent 111218, IPC I/O Parent] WARNING: process 111455 exited on signal 15: file /build/firefox-RH6krf/firefox-115.0+build2/ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_posix.cc:264

``` and finally when it kills the zombie processes ``` RunWatchdog: Mainthread nested event loops during hang:

--- CanvasManagerParent::Shutdown

ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 111871 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal... ``` the included images are what pops up when trying to open Firefox when it still has a zombie processes and when it kills the process

Steps: - Type anything into address bar (or navigate to a webpage) - Select any text in address bar - Copy the text (either with Ctrl+C or right-click menu) - Try to paste in any app besides Firefox

Expected behavior: - The copied text will paste

Outcome: - No text is pasted - No new entry is shown in the KDE clipboard

Any link on any webpage that I try to copy also exhibits this behavior. However, if I just select normal text on a webpage and copy it, everything works as intended. Maybe there's an issue with copying things that Firefox labels as "links"?

I'm looking at a web-page in a specifc firefox window or tab. When I want to leave it, I'll "delete" the tab" or the window by clicking the "x". BUT, often, I want to have ALL the cookies of this web-site deleted. - Perhaps a right-click on the "x" should pop-up a window saying: [do you want to clear all cookies for "abc.de" ] - and then I click "yes", and I'm done!!! Any more complex solution as spelled-out here in support is not a good solution; we need a "one-click" method.

Thanks, I hope a Firefox developer is listening.

Using either the SNAP or .deb versions of Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04 I am running into issues attaching files on remote systems. I can browse to mounted network drives and select files but when clicking open nothing is attached in any of my online email accounts. This also applies to the open dialog box. I have tried using the KDE File Picker as well as the GTK one but they both fail. This is not an issue for LibreOffice or other programs and greatly impacts the usefulness of Firefox.

I noticed this morning that the radar site of theweathernetwork.com has stopped working on Firefox. I am running the latest Firefox from OpenSuse Tumbleweed. The strange thing is Vivaldi also has the same problem so I suspected it's not a Firefox problem. So I logged into Firefox on my two other Linux distros, Debian and Fedora and Firefox has the same problem on them!!. Strange that Vivaldi suffers the same problem, the radar site never loads in Firefox, and in Vivaldi it sort of loads but runs VERY slowly. I tried restarting Firefox in troubleshoot mode and it got as far as a page saying some browsers don't support the site and suggested I update my browser. It appears the radar site has made some sort of change which two browsers under Linux cannot cope with. Unfortunately the radar site of theweathernetwork.com is the best of all the sites available.

why not let use chosse hos we hear - see our error message, just the simple youv'e reashed a dead end or hit a bugger >< , let us control any and all sounds, you bombard us with, whether intenial or not  :):)

Today I'm wearing a very good $$$ Sony/gamers headphones to use because I have poor hearing. WOW...! The error sound went direcctly into my brain's pain center! That dang, ever so annoy ping, chimm or bell sound.

D.A.R.P. A. WOULD LOVE TO KNOW how you succeded in weaponizeing a simple sound. . . .!

I'm developing a PHP Symfony based website powered by nginx-full 1.18.0-6ubuntu14.4, one of the functions is to allow people to download a PDF invoice.

When it fails Firefox shows an alert "Downloading (Failed) The browser application closed unexpectedly."

On my linux desktop; when I use Chromium 114.0.5735.198 this functions works 100% of the time. when I use Firefox 114.0.2 (64-bit) the PDF download only works ONCE after that the download never completes and I'm left with a partial/corrupted 75.7KiB file named filename.Br-neZWO.pdf.part etc.

I have discovered that if I clear the firefox cache I can perform one successful download again. or I can restart Nginx and again Firefox will perform one successful download again.

I've tried altering many Nginx settings, cache, gzip, sendfile etc with no effect. It might be Nginx related but it does not effect Chrome at all which is why I've started this ticket.

Any help in debugging this would be greatly appreciated.

The only icons I can see on the right hand side of my toolbar is the NoScript icon, along with the Save to Pocket, FF Account, Extensions and hamburger buttons.

I should have about 12.

I just installed a new system, launched FF and set it up to sync with my account. Everything else appears to run fine - passwords, history, etc. The Tree Style Tab works fine too.

I have double checked the other solutions I found here, such as private viewing options, or trying to find the icons in the customize screen, but that's not the issue.

My other FF instances on other machines are still fine.

I just updated FF on this problem machine to 115.0.2 but no joy.

In firefox 108.0.2 I need to have a wider vertical scroll bar, the tiny thin bar is next to impossible to use. Same in Thunderbird 102.6.1 both are in Linux and the published css solutions (a year ago) on mozilla support do not work for these versions

I have a 'site' that is just files on my hard drive.

I need to click an anchor link such as: <a href="file:///dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4">Store Your Files Here</a> and have Firefox open the folder dir4 with the systems file manager. ( In my case the file manager is Nautilus ) ( Ubuntu 20.04 )

I have seen this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work but it does not describe a scenario that uses the file:/// interface.

It also does not provide any information about how the files will be handled.

I can get the folder link to work currently , but it appears with the: 'Index of file///...' in a browser tab.

Obviously you can not use that for anything useful.

The main goal is to open the folder and be able to use the system file manager to include more content for the site without having to navigate to the folder manually. The folders I want to display are buried many levels down without the possibility of having descriptive names. I have ~121 pages/folders in this arrangement , and each one has content for each page. I would like to add a button on each of the 121 pages that will open each of the pages content folder.

Hello, on one of my computers I have my new tab set to have 10 rows of pinned links. I went to `about:config` and copied the `browser.newtabpage.pinned` string. I then pasted it into the string on a new device I'm setting up, but it doesn't do anything.

Is there any way to get this working? My new tab on the device I'm setting up has none of the pinned links, just sites I commonly visit

Thanks, let me know if I need to provide any more information.

When I access some sites, like wordpress ( as an admin), some icons are shown as hex codes instead of graphic icons - I have enclosed screenshots

I have tried to reset the fonts to firefox standard ( I had some other before) - it did not help

I have also tried to check the "allow pages to choose their own fonts - did not help I have also tried to UNcheck the "allow pages to choose their own fonts - did not help

I do NOT have the problem on Brave or Chromium

I am running Linux Arch with Firefox 115.0.2

Hello,

Until FF114 when I opened links in new tabs from the active tab, the new tabs were always opened next to the active tab, relative to the order they were opened (first link immediately on the right, second link on the right of the second link and so on). Switching to another tab reset the context and links were opened on the right of the new active tab. However entering a new location in the address bar didn't reset the context and links were still opened relative to the order they were opened from the active tab, regardless of the location in the address bar. Let's say I visit site A and open three links, then visit site B by entering its address in the address bar without changing of tab. Opening a fourth link will open a fourth tab after the three others.

In FF115 the behavior is different. When entering a location in the address bar, the context is reset and new tabs are opened immediately on the right of the active tab, as if I had moved to another tab.

Is there a way to restore the old behavior?

I'm running FF115 on Fedora 38 in case it matters. I tried with an empty profile and without any add-ons to be sure there is nothing wrong with my profile and add-ons.

Thanks.

I recently switched over to Firefox as my main browser in place of Chrome. What really won me over was the Primary Password feature, so that my saved passwords will be safe. But I'm a little confused: When I open Firefox, the dialog box comes up asking me for my Primary Password. As soon as I type the first two characters of my password, the browser is totally unlocked. I can either type in the rest of my password at that point and press Enter, or I can just press the Cancel button. Either way it only needs the first two characters of my password to unlock Firefox. That doesn't seem very secure. Is there any way to set it to require my entire password?

Hello

I'm trying to sign into a Microsoft 365 email account but can't get beyond a screen saying "To use this site, you need to change your browser settings to enable DOM storage or cookies."

I've enabled DOM storage and cookies but no difference. I've cleared cookies and no help. I'm running Firefox 115.0.2 and Linux Mint.

Is part of the problem that I hate Microsoft and they know it?

Thanks
