Firefox supportforum

I 'refreshed' firefox as suggested. The guidance suggested that all my logins and passwords would be preserved but when I check the Logins and Passwords all have been cleared. I am now faced with the arduous task of resetting many many login credential. Poor advice from Mozilla.

I use canvas blocker so I need privacy.resist.fingerprinting to be set to false. I have repeatedly set it to false in about:config and by editing prefs.json and every time I restart firefox it resets to true. I have done a clean install of firefox, turned off and deleted every add on, and tried using a new profile but it has not cleared the issue.

Does anyone know of a work around to enable clipboard API functionality over a local intranet without a public domain name?

• I use a local server application with a http interface on my home Intranet, accessed via FireFox (a web browser). I do not want the program to be accessed from the internet, and don't have and don't think I want a public domain for my local Intranet server. In the past I have been accessing it from Firefox by book marking the IP address and port.
• The program has recently changed from using Document.execCommand() method to the modern asynchronous Clipboard API.
• The clipboard API in Firefox defaults to requiring the host is accessed via https (appropriate for public facing internet access) or the host server is run on the same machine as the web browser (127.0.0.1 or localhost).
• From a security perspective I'm not convinced I need encryption between computer in my home networks (if that traffic is being intercepted to spy on or modify my clipboard, then my private network has already been severely compromised).

As a result of the clipboard API conventions, the program's clipboard functionality no longer works for me. I have tried

• looking for a Firefox exception settings, to enable clipboard API functionally over http (vs https) for specific local IP, but could not find how to do that in FireFox
• I have tried installing Caddy but without a domain name I couldn't get it to reverse-proxy to https

Am I missing an easy solution or do local servers need public addresses now.

the situation: we publish an internal wiki website in our intranet. the delivering server provides a certificate issued by our own microsoft active directory pki (root-intermediate-servercert). firefox is configured by gpos in order to use windows cert store, where root and intermediate are installed. but nevertheless firefox drops an error message ssl_bad_cert_domain and i do not see why. in chrome or chromium based edge everything is fine. no ssl warnings. as you can see in the attached screenshot the cert includes various san fields for different host names, which includes two ip addresses (anonymized).

any advice what do to is mostly appreciated.

thanks a lot peter

Whenever I use Alt 7, it changes the site to Bing. It doesn't open a new tab to do this. This does not happen in Chrome, just Firefox. How do I stop this from happening?

I want a link to open in a new tab after I left-click. So I have the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" setting checked. But it doesn't work, when I click a link it opens in that tab. So I unchecked the box, and still, the link opens in that tab. It doesn't open in a new tab or window.

Isn't there a way to have a link open in a new tab? Or the only way to do it would be left click and go to the "open link in new tab" part of the pop up window?

Hi,

Is there a way to disable the little notification that pops up showing what url is being loaded or that pops up when you mouse over a link in the bottom left of the browser?

I'm using an OLED and am trying to disable as many re-current static objects as possible. In my 25 years of web browsing I've never found this to be a useful feature so I'd rather it be disabled.

I can't seem to find any settings pertaining to it and all the info I can find on disabling is quite old and doesn't seem to be accurate anymore.

Any tips would be very appreciated.

A link for "Other Bookmarks" has appeared in the Toolbar after the dropdown icon for the 'extra' items that won't fit across the screen. Also, a space has appeared between the rightmost bookmark and the dropdown. I had adjusted display resolution for easier viewing, but putting it back to Default makes no diff - except for size, obviously. Haven't found anything in Prefs to add/remove this. Screenshot attached. Many thanks for any help. PeterT

I installed Firefox Relay add-on. When I Compose a new memo on my Protonmail account the Firefox Relay symbol does not appear in the From address and therefore I cannot select an Alias. Any suggestion?

Since yesterday the webbrowser formal Firefox - changed to Microsoft Bing. Even after I changed settings of the standard webbrowser to Mozilla Firefox always Bing starts. How can I change it?

I am getting a message on a yellow banner on various websites, most recently the New York Times, that reads:

A webpage is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do? Stop it, Wait.

An image is attached. If I select Stop It it sometimes goes away and sometimes comes back. It has recurred over several logins to the Times and it is very annoying as it impedes the fast loading of the webpage content and slows any activity. I would like to know how to permanently get rid of it.

Out of curiousity when right clicking on my list of bookmarks I clicked the option 'add a new separator'. Now that I can see what the option does I want to remove the separator, but can't see how to do it. Can anyone help, please?

I've posted the following in the MS Office Forum:

In the Word desktop app I used "-->", which Word autoconverts to a nice arrow. When viewing the document in the browser version of Word it gets mangled and shows up as a "à" symbol. Note: This happens on the same computer! My browser is Firefox (84.0.2). When using Edge or Chrome the arrows are displayed properly.

And got the following answer:

This appears to be a bug in Firefox. The two characters have the same Unicode value, 00E0, but the arrow is in the Wingdings font while the à is displayed in most non-symbol fonts. Although the font box on the ribbon in Word Online says the font of the character is Wingdings, Firefox fails to show it in that font.

Given that both Edge and Chrome seem to be able to display the document correctly, it seems to me that this is a Firefox bug?

Device: PC - Win7 x64 - FF v85.0 (64-bit) Also: Running latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus. About 6 weeks ago (or so) Firefox started acting weird on youtube. The left pop-out bar (Home/subscriptions/etc) is blank. The user account tab (shows my avatar) but when I click on it the pop-open bar is blank with a spinning arrow inside that never resolves. Therefore I can't make any changes to appearance/etc. I can't comment (Returned error). I've tried running in Safe Mode w/ addons disabled, same problem.

Everything works properly if I use Chrome. <shudder>

This problem doesn't occur on my laptop same SW environment, nor on my work computer Win10 - FF v85.0 (64-bit) w/ different AV (Cisco IIRC).

Attempts to resolve: followed Mozilla's instructions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer) - deleted from Add/Remove Programs, deleted %APPDATA% files, even cleared all items from the registry. Did a fresh install (using a new d/l of the installer). Logged in using my firefox account & encountered the same problems.

Help? Thanks in advance!

I want to view and verify what my Firefox Account password is, currently, without having to change it necessarily. Once I've verified what my password is currently, I may, or may not, change it. I will not decide if I want to change my password until I know what it is currently.

Thanks bunches Darlins and Gents for all your fine help!

So yesterday my Youtube comments wouldn't load, they didn't have an endless loading animation, the comments section would straight up not show up. It happened in the middle of browsing YouTube and disabling extensions does nothing to fix the problem. I decided to investigate further and when going into the network tab of inspect element I realized that the website data wasn't loading fully. I've had this issue on another website (that is highly important) before and because of the issue I had to use another browser. The issue is solved in Private windows, but that isn't ideal and I want the solution to be fixed normally. The screenshots shown below are what my youtube comments section looks like and 2 images, showing firefox not loading the page content properly at all compared to edge, with the website on firefox even thinking that there is nothing to display even though there should content displaying. Someone please help me, I love the Firefox browser but this really weird behavior is causing me to use other browsers instead. Thanks all.

Since the automatic download on 26th January I have no Windows 10. I cannot access it. I have no screensave picture or icons on the bottom toolbar. I cannot use the Windows Start button, so I cannot go to Settings or any other feature. The download has removed Windows completely. Help!!!! Please!!!!

A Firefox or extension setting is stopping me from viewing and downloading bills (PDF) on my phone provider website - this does not happen on a different browser. Extensions installed: Forget Me Not, Privacy Badger, AdBlocker Ultimate, HTTPS Everywhere.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all,

After a long hiatus of no firefox problems I am now experiencing an issue of script embedded in on-line pictures on some websites; doing a reload with a different browser i.e to internet explorer solves the issue. I am sure that firefox is the problem, but I have done the obvious, disabling any tracker/adblocks without any success. Any clues ?
