Youtube is broken on my Firefox and doesn't load properly a majority of the time. Youtube works fine in private mode and other browsers. Please see picture attached to see what my page looks like when Youtube loads. Any fixes?

Hello,

I can't access my account anymore, this one was created by linking the mail address used for the account which apparently i never did. I tried every password i commonly used and none of them worked, so I think that this one was auto-generated and then saved, in my firefox account... What is really killing me is the 7 years of bookmarks and password that are locked behind this password, i can access the account by password recovery but that would defeat the purpose since I just learned that its linked to my data. I just changed my OS back to windows so file recuperation is gonna be a pain/impossible. The way i understand things i have to make my peace with all the websites I accumulated for years (and also the PWs) or wait and don't touch my PC because the firefox folder that was deleted was on the same HDD that i used for the new OS. Of course all of this wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have had a problem to my phone and send it back to the constructor for the warranty, which means if I'm not mistaken that my account just lost it's last link to me, except the auto-destruction button. Is starting to learn cryptography my best bet to reach my account ? Or is there something I didn't cover and there still a way ? Please tell me it's still possible.

When I opened Firefox, the message below popped up for a few seconds, then disappeared: CAD 3.8.2 - Some site data, including 1 Cookie(s), removed from 1 domains(s), including addons.mozilla.org...

Can anyone explain this, and should I be worried (CAD is a Python term used in uploading code). Thank you.

I am having some issues and hope to get help from the community when I open a new window and log in to www.somesite.com. and then I open another window[private] and log in to www.somesite.com i would prefer that it doesn't get me the login from the first window.

tried changing numerous settings but still i keep getting the same login from the first window.

I've attached a screenshot of how it should look like

In older versions (say, Firefox 85 which I have been happily using until now) you could enter the search shortcut (say, "y" for youtube), then just press enter without entering any search terms, and be brought to the main page of that search engine. In fact, search engine definition file has a specific field for that feature.

Well, I'm on FF 119 now and I find that this behaviour is broken. You MUST enter search terms now.

Is there a way to fix this pointless change, or do I have to downgrade?

Hello, after updating Firefox to v.119 a couple of issues have developed that I can’t seem to resolve.

First of all the Firefox logo has disappeared from my home page. To show what I mean here are some screenshots: The 1st one shows what I see when I open the browser as normal - as can be seen I have several extensions normally in use so the 2nd image shows Firefox opened in ‘Troubleshoot’ mode.

Both these two were taken with the Privacy & Security settings set to ’Strict‘, the 3rd image shows ‘Troubleshoot ’mode with Privacy & Security set to ‘Standard’. ~~~ Now onto the subject of fonts; I’ve done some searching around and even with the Privacy & Security settings customized to ignore fingerprinting, Firefox still ignores my font-setting preference, which is FreeSerif, usually at 14 or 16pt size. Despite me unchecking the setting to allow websites to use their own fonts I cannot get any page to load using my preferred font. This causes me problems as I suffer from a particular type of astigmatism which makes san-serif fonts difficult to read.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hello, I am using firefox 83.0 and I don't want to update it (Why? Because I've an old PC with poor hardware and the playback of online videos is lagging/shuttering in releases after 83.0)

BUT firefox 83.0 doesn't support private fields which make some webpages unable to be loaded. the private fields was supported starting in release 90.0 and I'm using 83.0

So, I need a way to make firefox 83.0 support private fields, Is that possible? Is there a certain files should I edited or replaced to make it support private fields?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi

What is this "app.update.background.rolled out" setting?

 /**
  * Background Update is controlled by the per-installation pref
  * "app.update.background.enabled". When Background Update was still in the
  * experimental phase, the default value of this pref may have been changed.
  * Now that the feature has been rolled out, we need to make sure that the
  * desired default value is restored.
  */
 async ensureExperimentToRolloutTransitionPerformed() {
   if (!lazy.UpdateUtils.PER_INSTALLATION_PREFS_SUPPORTED) {
     return;
   }
   const transitionPerformedPref = "app.update.background.rolledout";
   if (Services.prefs.getBoolPref(transitionPerformedPref, false)) {
     // writeUpdateConfigSetting serializes access to the config file. Because
     // of this, we can safely return here without worrying about another call
     // to this function that might still be in progress.
     return;
   }
   Services.prefs.setBoolPref(transitionPerformedPref, true);

I used to be able to access my email with previous versions of Firefox but cannot anymore. When I attempt to sign in it just goes back to sign in page. I have to use another browser to access my email. Is it possible to go back to a previous version of firefox?

Hello

since version 119 of Firefox a download behaves siometimes different. The directory and "Ask before save" are still valid. But sometimes Firefox start to save in the directory without asking. Why behaves version 119 sometimes different in comparison with previous versions like 118?

Kind regards

I am hopeful you will be able to help me. All open tabs NOW disappear after power failure or Comcast temporarily loses service or I restart my computer. This never happened to me before ~ if my computer was affected by outage or I manually restarted it a message came up to click on asking if I wanted my tabs restored. 1 click and they were restored ~ that option is not available to me now. It's frustrating and time consuming for me to "look" for, and "try" to find those tabs I had open. If someone does respond to my question I won't know its been done unless I receive an email because I'm not certain I can find my way back to this support page, primarily because I cannot remember HOW I even found this page in the first place! I bookmarked this page so perhaps I will be able to return to it. Thanks for the "How to restore tabs" help I HOPE you can give me. Marilyn West

Hi, Mr. or Mrs. The website has blank pages (page cannot be accessed). Utilizing https://xnxubdvpnbrowser.online/ The page is blank even though it looks like it has been contacted at the upper left. Is there a reason Brave is unable to load the website correctly?

Attached is a picture I took of what I'm experiencing. At first I thought it was an issue with my monitor or perhaps my computer hardware, but it seems to only affect Firefox. Besides the obvious black squares you can see, I invite you to look at the top of the page displayed. Where it talks about Megan thee stallion, the "a" and "n" of "Megan" are kind of cut off by something.

I also experienced twice, maybe three times the whole page going blank for a second or so before returning to normal (not my whole screen, just the firefox browser). I just checked and Firefox is up to date.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I also checked Windows Defender and saw it had detected a threat, named Win32/OfferCore. I have since deleted it and have started a complete analysis of my computer which is still underway.

My OS is Windows 10. I hope this can be resolved, as currently it is stopping me from being able to read an article on Wikipedia, with many of the letters being kind of cut in the same fashion as with "Megan".

Thanks for any help, it'll be appreciated

When I open browser on my windows 11 PC, I am besieged by notifications from online British newspaper "Metro.CO.UK." I cannot discover a way to stop the notifications. What's up with it?

I had to reset Windows 11 and reinstall Firefox but I don't have passwords and bookmarks that were there. Is it possible to restore them? Thank you for your help.

I was using PC and a window popped up saying "allow Firefox to make changes" and I clicked allow! Shortly thereafter my PC froze and I had to power it down. Now Firefox looks completely different and all my bookmarks and links to everything is gone. Also all my saved email logins and information!

Please help me reverse this change, I hate it!! Betty Turner
