Firefox supportforum

I've installed Firefox on my MacBook Air laptop, but every time I turn off my computer, the icon to access Firefox disappears from my shortcuts bar and I have to go back to my downloads folder, double click on the "Firefox 75.0.dmg" file and re-install Firefox. Meanwhile, all my bookmarks on Firefox are lost and have to start everything anew like a new customer each day. My membership email is the only thing that is retained therefore day-to-day. I've checked the settings and have even made Firefox my default browser but that hasn't helped. I should add that I also have Express VPN. When I add Firefox to the ExpressVPN's shortcuts, again it stays there only until I turn off the computer. Meanwhile, Google Chrome and my email icons remain on the VPN startup window and don't go away as does Firefox. Jacob

Hey guys! I'm a student and so it's useful for me to make my university's student portal as my homepage. However, whenever I start up Firefox, it goes to the 'Authentication required - Mozilla Firefox' popup login area before I can get into my portal. The details are already auto-filled, but I have to hit OK every time. It's more of a quality-of-life and very minor problem, but would there be a way for me to just click the Firefox icon and instantly be logged in automatically? Maybe a custom URL to set as the homepage, or some other way I have to go to make this happen. Thanks so much all! Any replies would be massively appreciated!

After downloading a number of Firefox apps I went to Facebook but got a JavaScript required message. I updated the java script, enabled it, restarted it but keep getting the same message. I even installed a new Firefox Browser but no change. What don't I know?

I'm trying to open just one tab when I open Mozilla browser. I can't figure out why multiple tabs keep coming up.

Many Thanks (in advance) for your help.

I am looking to a way to open specific bookmarks open as pinned tab. If there is no way, accept this as a feature request which can add an option in bookmark properties to enable this bookmark open as pinned tab instead normal tab. Thanks.

I've tried multiple ways to uninstall old Firefox versions. There are five showing 59.0.2, 59.0.3, 60.0.1, 61.0, 62.0.2, and the current active version 76.0.1 all are 64-bit. Simply clicking or right-clicking on the application name and choosing to uninstall doesn't work.

Actually logged on as Administrator (not Run As...). From Settings, Apps, Apps & Features, click Mozilla Firefox 59.0.2 (x64 en-US), click uninstall, error called "kernel32::GetLongPathNameW9w R8, w .R7, i 1024)i .R6\uninstall\helper.exe" and below that a message "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."

Again, actually logged on as Administrator (not Run As...). I go to Control Panel, right-click an old version, message"You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Mozilla Firefox 59.0.2 (x64 en-US). Please contact your system administrator"

As Admin Powershell command: Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Select-Object -Property Name . But it would not show any Mozilla applications installed.

Hi there... I use a AutHotKey script that opens a Firefox window, then waits for it, maximizes it, and then performs some actions. The WinWait function does not work anymore immediately after the Firefox upgrade from version 73.x to 74.0 AutoHotket script extract:

========================

run, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EditWatchlist/raw, , max Winwait, Edit raw watchlist - Wikipedia - Mozilla Firefox Sleep, 2000 ; WinMaximize, Edit raw watchlist - Wikipedia - Mozilla Firefox MouseClick, left, 765, 676 clipboard = Send ^a ; Send ^c ; ClipWait ;

========================

The current title looks the same, but WinWait function never completes. Anyone any idea? TIA

When I visit some musical instrument reatilers web pages (Guitar Center, Music 123, Musicians Friend, etc) the pages do not load completely. I end up with several portions of the page displaying a spinner.gif that says "Loading." Can some tell me what I need to get the pages to load completely? Thanks

We currently would like to upgrade our centrally installed Firefox ESR version and would like users to keep their settings and be disrupted minimally. Specifically we would like to upgrade from 68.4.2 to the current 68.8.

I am aware that as of Firefox 67 a dedicated profile version is used for each Firefox version (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profiles-firefox-installation).

I had assumed that as it is only a minor upgrade of the same ESR version a new profile would not be necessary, however it creates a new empty profile by default.

The suggested solution to use Firefox Sync is not an option as creating Firefox Sync accounts for all our users would even be more overhead.

Is it indended behaviour that new profiles are created for the same ESR (major) version? Is there a simple way to migrate existing profiles?

Thanks.

Firefox asked me to update every time I opened it. Downloading and installing firefox, always said udating didn't work, download firefox upate now. Tried dozens of times. Then said needed to go to new firefox, did that, had to create account, did that, now have lost all the bookmarks. Tried selfhelp to restore bookmarks, incomplete instructions or not working. I would really, really like all my bookmarks back. Thanks for your help, Jane.

Is there a simple manual that is up-to-date? It is painful searching all these areas to find out simple things like changing a bookmark folder's name or a bookmark's name.

In dark mode setting with browser, need improve contrasting border line around browser so can be able to differentiate between browser windows. When there are multiple browser windows overlap, I can't tell where the border line is at... Need to improve that separation.

Some math typesetting doesn't render. Neither on my desktop Firefox nor my android Firefox installs. I believe it is just KaTeX, especially from pages with github type markdown rendering.

This does not render correctly [image attached]. It appears to be a 'math-jax' typesetter actually, judging by the header scripts.

This does render... eventually. But the page layout jumps around. It displays the underlying tex for a bit before the typesetter executes. Very usable but a little jarring every time it loads.

The problem persists in safe-mode. I have also tried multiple extensions to force or add rendering support but none have helped.

how can i resize the location bar more narrow so i can put more icon on my bookmarks toolbar?as you can see i customize my bookmark toolbar beside on the location bar but the problem is some of my icons gets hide because of the location bar is more wider than bookmarks toolbar

If I remember, there was a McAfee Web Advisor icon on the top right of the Firefox browser, just to the left of the "hamburger" icon. But it's not there, it disappeared. Yes, it is enabled, and it is showing in Chrome. So where did it go and how do I get it back?

Thanks.

I can't seem to figure out how to have the desktop shortcut for Firefox open a new window even when I have a window already open. As it is, when I click on the shortcut when I have a Firefox window already open, it simply opens a new tab. I do want to keep links opening in new tabs, I just want to be able to open a new window with the shortcut. Is there a way of doing this?

I'm working with Windows 10 Home on a Lenovo laptop.

Hi,

Since months I'm struggling with this issue but today I became unable to bear any more.

Many websites works fine with Chrome while don't with Firefox because of iframe issue. As shown in this link you can read the story fine under Chrome while sucks with Firefox so I wonder:

How can I bypass this issue? Is there some kind of CSS manipulation for run this kind of content fine (I run some websites locally so Firefox always sucks with iframe)?

NOTE: See the attached please

Hello, I have used I.E. for about 2 decades, and in I.E., it was very easy to deletes my browsing history and cookies and website dats etc by simply clicking Internet Options/Delete. In Firefox, I cannot find such options. Thanks for your help! Larry
