Firefox supportforum

cmd+numbers on alphanumeric keys should switch to respective tab (cmd+1 to 1st tab, cmd+5 to fifth...). With CZ keyboard layout on MacOS, cmd+1 does NOT switch to first tab, it Zooms In instead. No other browser (Edge, Safari, Opera, Orion) exhibits this behaviour. Other numbers work as expected.

FF 98.0.2 on Monterey 12.2.1.

How do I fix this? Thanks.

Hi,

My wife & I have used Firefox for some considerable time now and like it a lot.

However, we have been having trouble with Firefox recently and wonder if you are aware of this. It manifests itself in a very subtle way with only some FEATURES of a particular website not operating, (but no ‘warning’ messages whatsoever).

To begin with, I was at a loss to understand why something didn’t work but, now that this has happened to me on THREE different websites (with features that work perfectly well under MS Edge!), I have come to the conclusion that Firefox is the only “common denominator”.

The first problem was with https://www.parcel2go.com. They have a “Live Help” (Chat) feature. It no longer works with Firefox!

The second was with https://account.patientaccess.com. Try to order “repeat prescriptions” and all is well – until you hit “send”. It no longer works with Firefox!

Today, I have discovered that with https://www.bt.com I am now longer able to access my BT email accounts. Furthermore, they also have a “chat” facility – except that is now also ‘invisible’ to Firefox!

I have seen mention that DuckDuckGo (which I also use) might be involved here?

What’s happened?!!

My laptop set-up is practically identical to that of my PC, but the latter doesn't exhibit the same malfunction.

I've tried anything I could, including reinstalling the browser, removing all of my bookmarks (about 10,000) and addressing extensions (Decentraleyes, Default Bookmark Folder, Disable Tab Detach, Flagfox, I don't care about cookies, Keepa, Notifier for Gmail, Privacy Badger, To Google Translate, uBlock Origin, Undo Close Tab, Video DownloadHelper and Youtube's Annotations No More), but not even safe mode improved the situation in the least. Windows Defender also hasn't detected any malware and my web surfing habits are as safe as it gets.

The only deeper data I could gather is that the problem manifests with a progressive, rapid surge in CPU and RAM usage; the former, for example, is saturated to its total 16 GB in a matter of about 20 seconds.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7586 with Windows 11 64 bit; Firefox version is the latest, 100.0, and, by the way, none of the recent updates has improved the situation.

Thanks to anyone who might come up with an educated guess!

I currently have this add-on installed. It allows you to you highlight certain text, then right click and open up a link to Wiktionary in another tab. Up until a few minutes ago, this menu item was at the very top of the list (i.e. above "undo" and all the rest), but now it's been moved down with all the other add-ons. Image for further clarity.

The add-on hasn't been updated in 6 years, so it's certainly not that. I don't recall doing anything to make it change, but before this, it had been at the top of the menu ever since I added it maybe 2 years ago. Is there any potential way to restore this functionality? The fact that it appeared at the very top of the menu might have been a bug, but if that's the case, it was certainly a convenient one.

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you fine folks in this community.

I'm trying to take a proctored test with PearsonVue. It keeps saying on the system test that Firefox is still running. I've tried shutting down through Task Manager. I've tried rebooting and just using Chrome to access the test page. It still says it's running. Next step is to uninstall...surely there's another solution!?

I used to get a display in the middle of a "New Page" with Firefox - recent revisions have removed that and I only get a Google search bar at top of new page. Help is appreciated. What I am looking for is displayed in images from my Chrome browser - similar, but not like the way Firefox displayed it.

Every couple of days, when I try to open Firefox, I get the "You've launched an older version of Firefox" error message, asking me to close Firefox or create a new profile. I have redownloaded and reinstalled Firefox countless times, and it just keeps happening. I've now tried disabling automatic updates to see if that fixes it, but is there any way to prevent this from happening? I am on macOS Monterey 12.6.1.

Suddenly BofA on line banking erroneously recognizes the firefox on my PC as being on a phone, i.e. everything on the BofA side responds with mobile banking. Is there some setting that changed? I am on cable (xfinity) and have made no changes to hardware etc. - literally happened day-to-day.

I download many pdf and Word files each day for marking. Opening pdf files in Adobe Reader works automatically OK, but Word files no. This archived question gives a link to an answer that does not work. "If Firefox does not have a set download action for a type of file, Firefox will save the file by default. If you select Always Open Similar Files in the Downloads panel right-click context menu for the file, (see below) a new Content Type and Action entry will be added to the General panel Applications section of Firefox settings." I went through the Always Open step, but no "Content Type and Action entry" was added.

Judging by the questions in Firefox and more widely, many people are having the same problem. Why cannot the industry standard file types be added to that list by default?

When I have to reinstall Firefox (it is needed frequently), I have to edit/delete a number of unwanted browser search tools. This principle could be used for the list of automatically opened file types as part of Firefox default settings.

I was told downloading from archive will not include the unique identifier, did the change by now? Asking this because i downloaded from both websites and both downloads tried to run setup.exe immediately after the installation. Asuming the setup.exe is the unique identifier obviously.

These are the pictures I get recently ... tiny. Micromised. Unsure if I accidentally hit a "micromise" button, but all of the sudden, the normal view became tiny.

Also, many a time by myself and others told: When browsing picture sites such as Deviantart, Pinterest, even Google Pictures, Firefox severely slows down up to even dead stop after a while. Though several versions have passed, this issue still remains.

Clearing Cache, or using DelTempDir/FlushDNS doesn't help at all, once it begins to slow, only full restart of FF helps, but this ain't always an option. It almost seems that the memory is filling up by the feeds of these sites, and just cannot be cleared, no matter what.

Using a Memory tool ALSO runs nowhere.

Please assist?

Thank you.

Hi, we are a long-time user of Firefox on our Windows Server edition via Terminal Services. I'm wondering if the way/version we are using Firefox is not, correct? Should we be using an enterprise Version that is managed? Our server is getting old, so I downloaded Chrome a few months back to see if the experience would be better. Chrome is showing that we are on a Managed browser, but Firefox is not. It got me thinking that maybe I'm using the wrong version of Firefox. After an update a few days ago, Firefox has been glitchy and will hang. I haven't tried Refreshing it yet, nor have I tried restarting the server. We usually have Hardware Acceleration turned off. We have 24 gb of Ram, we also Dual(2 processors-2.4gHz each) that help our server fly really fast. If secure DNS-DoH is active, Firefox will really hang. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

My Firefox browser accessed the internet until a day ago. Now its unable to load pages. Computer’s network connection is good. I did a firewall check. I even excluded the browser from firewall checks to no avail. The only alternative remaining is resetting the browser. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Just now, as I was in the middle of something, Firefox popped up a usage tip about tabs. I find this disruptive. Is there a way to turn these off? If I want to know how to do something, I'll look in the help.

It's fine when you create a new feature to display a tab when I first launch after an upgrade, or to have the Help menu show a Latest Features item, but please don't interrupt my work with pop-ups.

For the moment, I don't see anything in Preferences about this. Is there an about:config setting I can add to suppress this feature?

Hello,

For teaching purpose, I need to do interactive presentations with both a regular slide presentation (using pympress), interactive activities through either Miro or Mentimeter both being in Firefox and a few other things (depending on what I teach at the time).

In order to mix those windows on the screen (and also because sometimes those are streamed), I capture all of them in OBS and have a bunch of scenes which organize and size everything depending on what I currently focusing on.

Each of those windows are on a different virtual desk to make it manageable, and thus I am not always on the virtual desk where Firefox is, for example when I am explaining something with slides, I am on the virtual desk with the presenter console. However I often still need to have the content of Miro/Mentimeter on the screen so that I can link my explanation with what students do.

Now the problem I have is that it seems the rendering of the pages in Firefox freeze when I change of virtual desk, and thus students might add things on Miro/Mentimeter and I do not see it because the page is frozen. When I get back to the virtual desk, suddenly all the changes students made pop-up. It's extremely frustrating, both for me and students, as sometimes they asked questions related to what I was explaining before and then I have to go backwards.

Is there any way to make Firefox keep rendering pages when they are not on the screen? Any option? I have tried searching about:config with rendering / refresh, but came up with nothing. When looking that issue online, I found the "Always active Window (Always Visible)" extension which supposedly prevent the hidden property of pages to go to true, but that has not solved the problem.

Any help or tips on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely, Sleris

When I run Firefox in troubleshooting mode I can log into citibank. When I return to normal I cannot. I've turned one extension after another off. None of them seem to be causing the problem.

This all started when I created a container for Banking. it has been a problem ever since.
