Firefox drop down history shows about 85% favicon substitution for gmail entries. It is not the gmail favicon, it is a food blog I do not login to and only very occasionally read. It is a very random substitution.

Clearing cache, cookies and restarting did not eliminate the issue. All apps and browsers are fully up to date.

I only use Firefox so do not know if it happens on others. Also, it does not happen all the time, only about 85% of the time, sometimes within one session, as visible in the attached screenshot. The bottom 9 are gmail's and you can see it has chosen to substitute the gmail favicon for an unrelated food blog favicon, but the there are several gmail entries that display the correct google favicon.

It isn't a problem but it does make me feel less secure as it is a weird glitch. If there is crossover there, where else may there be identification failures? Is there any way to correct this? Thank you.

Getting around 20ms for DNS lookups so thats not the issue. Why do I see Error Code: NS_ERROR_OFFLINE maybe once every several days when this Firefox has never been in offline mode and never will be? Env is MacOS 26.5.2 with current Firefox installed.

I had to erase my laptop and am in the process of resetting it up. I used firefox prior and am trying to see if it is possible to restore all my previous bookmarks etc. I was told it automatically backed them up.

When I try to search for something on Google using Firefox, I keep getting the message "cloudflare web-find.net has expired."

What is this and how do I get rid of it?

Apparently, I need to switch to Chrome, because I don't get it there!

I was looking for information (search engine Duck Duck-Go) about plants and suddenly I got a massage which says my iphone is hacked. I was not able to acrivate any button, besides the ok button, which I did not trigger of course. I tried to find info (pc) about the address but I shows a black screen. Than I removed firefox and re-installed it. Now the massage is gone. I have no idea where this massage comes from and if it will install malware if I would have used the ok button. It might happen again and it would be nice to know what to do Thanks in advance….

Hi,

I recently migrated from Chrome to Firefox. As you can see on the screenshots, I have on Chrome the possibility to download the video I am playing by clicking the three dots. This button is not displayed on Firefox. How can I solve this issue. Deactivating Ublock doesn't change anything.

Thank you for you answers.

I use a program called Ultimate Guitar Tabs. It is fantastic for finding chord sheets for playing guitar songs and being able to download them as a PDF file with the lyrics and chords shown. Unfortunately I have tried doing this simple press of a button save as PDF in Firefox and all I get is a colored screen either blue purple red etc and no PDF. I have tried the exact same thing in Google Chrome and it does it flawlessly. I don't want to use Google if I don't have to, but at this stage I have to and would be pleased if Firefox could address this problem and make life easy again. I updated Firefox today and everything seems ok except for this PDF problem. I imagine their will be other people affected by this and it may not seem like a big deal but Ultimate Guitar Tabs is the industry standard for teaching people how to play songs on guitar and is used by most muso's world wide to teach students how to play specific songs. Please note It affects both Linux Mint (My main system) and windows 11 (My Laptop). If Google chrome can do it on both Linux & Windows 11 I am sure you should be able to address this problem.

Please advise asap if you need more info etc.

I cannot recall my keepass password. I used my fingerprint to access. I put my password in keepass with it showing up when I opened the app but the app is all wonky in an endless deathloop and I cannot use my finger to access the database. What can I do?

Where did the option to "Translate Page" go? I remember Firefox had it for a while listed as a experimental feature. Did it fail? Or are they still working on it and took it away temporarily?
