Firefox supportforum

Greetings,

I just saw on line a notice about mozilla monitor and I tried the free scan. I was alarmed. My quesiton is if you have more than one email associated with you ID information, does mozilla monitor cover those different email addresses?

When I try to access https://smh.com.au I get the following response:

The site works with Microsoft Edge, which is not my usual browser. (That's Firefox). I have tried clearing history and it has no effect. Can anyone confirm that this is a Firefox message and what it means?

I got a notice from Mozilla that Firefox was updated over night. Now when I hit a link it goes to edge instead of Firefox. In the Firefox settings, it still says that Firefox is my default browser. I do not want to use Edge. How do I fix this. I have used Firefox for many years.

Even though I have selected Firefox as my default browser, when I click on links in emails or other sources, the actions continue to open in Microsoft Edge. This is a recent phenomena, starting within the past couple of months. I have repeatedly checked my settings, but Firefox always shows as my default browser.What can I do to stop this nuisance? It's a pain to have to copy and paste the web address from Edge to Firefox. Is this an MS hack? Please advise.

Hello, I have a problem with Firefox on (only) the vive.com site. It shows a fast (same as Chrome/Opera) loading, but only on firefox it stays @ 99% a very long time, whereas on other browsers, in the instant, you can see the content of the page. You can test for example on that page: https://developer.vive.com/resources/vive-sense/

I work in a society where I need to have a brower with proxy support & security (firefox is the best to me) but that can work without waiting minutes to access a page, whereas it has been downloaded fast.

Opera is fast on vive.com, but that shit doesn't have proxy support, so I need configure firewall, put a gateway, and I really hate, it's a pure security fail (never put a gateway on windows, microsoft takes the control of your windows and scan your datas). We don't wish that in our society.

So I'm there to report you that, I think there is a problem and I really don't understand what can do firefox to make the user wait so much time, and it's not related to the processor, it's the same on my crappy laptop or on a brand new powerful 3D station. With opera, it's really in a second, and with firefox, it's a minute. Really weird.

hi

For several days now I have been receiving the message "Automatic activation of filters". It goes away after a few seconds but is extremely irritating, how to turn it off?

Po przeinstalowaniu systemu i wgraniu Mozilli mam problem z otwieraniem plików. Brakuje mi możliwości jak ze zdjęcia, które jest z instrukcji jak to robić. Przykładowo pliki .pdf zapisuj się i otwieraj od razu, wszystko fajnie. Ale już pliki .msg czy .eml nie chc otworzyć się automatycznie w Outlook'u i nie widzę nigdzie opcji zaznaczenia "zawsze otwieraj podobne pliki" czy jak to tam szło dokładnie. Bardzo proszę o pomoc gdyż bardzo mocno utrudnia to pracę i użytkowanie przegladarki.

hi when I go to github it says Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue whereas before it worked fine but now it doesn't :/ I have watched so many tuto on yt but no one work i have clear my data i removed my antivirus and all my extensions and went into private browsing but I still get this error.

When I open firefox for the first time or after reboot or logout the internet doesn't connect immediately and it need almost 1 minute or more. I tried so many solutions, but they didn't work. If I reset Firefox, then the problem is fixed, but after some days, it's the same problem.

I just want to express my frustration.

Today during removal of Firefox (due to bug in Windows "winget" upgrader I got two versions of FF - 122.0 and 122.0.1 so wanted to remove one) I accidentally clicked "Refresh Firefox instead" without knowing what's going to happen in a few seconds.

Soon I was presented with a nice and clean Firefox window with no open tabs, no history and no addons.

I quickly went to my profile folder (%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) only to discover that no full backup was made prior to "refreshing". There were some files preserved - places.sqlite, cookies.sqlite, but no addons, and no sessionstore.jsonlz4. From what I can see, some of the carefully tweaked settings in about:config are also lost.

Fortunately I made my own backup on 10th of October 2023, so I recovered most addons and some of the open tabs. I'm now in the process of restoring other tabs from history. But I like to have them open for weeks or even months, so it's going to take me a lot of time.

The Refresh Firefox thing should be removed because it only destroys data. OR MAKE THE DAMN FULL BACKUP OF THE ENTIRE ***UNTOUCHED*** USER PROFILE ***BEFORE*** REFRESHING IT!!!!!!!!!

You never cease to disappoint, Firefox. Now I'll waste a lot of time to restore what I had before clicking that damn button. And I need to set up a regular profile backup because I cannot trust the software I tried to trust the most... No wonder you're losing users. That is totally unacceptable.

Any clues on how to restore my profile to the state before the "refresh" disaster?

Hello,

i imported Firefox bookmarks to Firefox on another user account and i am not getting thumbnails! Both on bookmark's bar and inside bookmark browser :/

How to fix this?

Thanks!

I don't know in which version exactly it happened but a few weeks earlier i was able to edit cookies like we can on all other browsers, but today suddenly i cannot.

I expected it to be a simple double-click and i can edit the cookie key name or value but it doesn't let me edit, it opens the detailed view about that cookie. I looked EVERYWHERE and could NOT find any way to edit the cookies for hours and this is really frustrating as a dev. This is important to troubleshoot many kinds of bugs when I am developing an app.

After updating to the new version of Pocket on my Windows 10 pc, I found that all my previous saves have disappeared- even after switching to Mozilla Firefox browser. How do I get them back? This is a disaster.

Hi! My browser.search.region keeps changing from US to RO on its own. I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 (64-bit) on Mac Monterey 12.7.3. I'm also using Mozilla VPN 2.16.0 (2.202307282002). Thank you!
