Firefox supportforum

When I am on a website and I click on a document, Firefox wants to open it with the wrong program. For instance, I click on a Powerpoint and it opens with Pearson's Test Gen.

I have a question about Lockwise and the integration of Monitor.

It is claimed that since version 76, Firefox alerts for vulnerable passwords and breaches.

In this article it is explained that Lockwise scans the stored passwords and warns if one of the passwords is identical to one leaked online as well as that it shows breach alerts for sites that have experienced security breaches.

I have Firefox 79, but I don't seem to get either behavior. I can see breaches for my email addresses in Monitor (where I had to manually add the email addresses). But I don't see anything in Lockwise. See the image below, for example. I created a password "abcde" for the website and nowhere does firefox tell me it's "vulnerable" or that it's been exposed elsewhere (it should at least say it's a terribly bad password).

I entered the "abcde" password in the Bitwarden plugin and it tells me (unsurprisingly) the password has been exposed "46564 times in data breaches".

This brings me to a second question: If Lockwise is unable to automatically show a warning if a password has been exposed/is vulnerable, is there an easy way to check that manually (and securely)? Bitwarden has the checkmark button right next to the password, which allows me to quickly check if a password has been exposed. Any way to replicate this in Lockwise? (To be honest, I would prefer the way it is supposed to work in Lockwise with a banner been shown automatically, instead of manually having to click, but it doesn't seem to work.)

Hello, since updating Firefox on 9/25/20, the Adobe Flash Plugin is not working properly. Unfortunately, I need to complete some work activities on a site that uses Flash. When I load one of these activities, I see the upper left corner of an image -- the entire thing does not load correctly. I realized that the same thing was happening on the Adobe Flash update page. While Flash is in fact running, it is showing images that are out of proportion (not running correctly).

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

After Updating Firefox Version 81 the Picture is magnified and I can’t see the whole picture. Also I can’t write something in the Login-Field. In Version 80 it worked without problem with the latest flash player Version. It seems, that in Firefox Update there’s a bug. Zooming the side doesn’t help. Pluging ist activated. Working on Mac Mojave. Has anyone an idea what‘s wrong?

Every time I try and use a flash player be it http://mirrors.arcadecontrols.com/Move360/Launch.htm

or others when I click on the flash player logo it gives me a zoomed in screen on the flash player section. I can't adjust the size or the settings of flashplayer. This is only happening in Firefox. I have clear cookies and history. I have shutdown my system. I have made sure both firefox and adobe were up to date. What am I doing wrong?

So Firefox shows site status indications in the lower left corner. I don't know the technical term, since it's not just the one site I've allowed to send notifications. On some pages, these contrast with the background. So these flash as the page loads, and they can flash again if the page tries to load something new every 30 seconds. I am photosensitive and flashing can hurt and I want to either block this or find some way to reduce the contrast, such as showing this in a continuous bottom panel.

Is there any way to block this? And what are they supposed to be called?

Hi, When I try to reach Flickr it does not fully load the site but just the top of the Flickr home page, The blue line under the black Flickr heading keeps going across the screen. This has happened for some months now with different issues of Firefox and different Mac OS releases. Currently I am on Firefox 81 and Mojave. I have had to solve the problem by using Safari but I would prefer to use firefox. Any help greatky appreciated. Many thanks Ben Screen grab attached

Hello! I have the following issue - At some point firefox crashes and the default search engine is changed to "Browser Default" yahoo search engine "https://uk.search.yahoo.com/".

Firefox 80.0 (64 bit), OSx - Catalina I guess this is some malware so I disabled/remove all extensions and add ons, but it does not help. This must be some 3rd party app. Any suggestions how can I trace it down?

I went to "Show All Bookmarks" and searched for a bookmark. I want to know what folder I put the bookmark in. I can't figure out how to do so.

Someone answered this question before:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1274811

"You can open this bookmark in a tab, possible in "Work Offline mode". If you click the highlighted star on the location bar then you can check via the Folder line where in the folder tree this bookmark is located (second down arrow and use the scroll bar)."

How do I get into "Work Offline mode"? Also, why is this so difficult?

Out of the blue today, I cannot access the Twitter platform from my Firefox browser. Each time I try, I get a window with this message:

"Oops.

The site at https://twitter.com/ has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

Firefox is my usual browser, and I've never had this problem before. I tried on Safari, and there was no problem accessing Twitter. Also, no problem on my iPhone 8 Plus.

I'm on a MacBook Pro laptop.

Thanks!

Hello I have aktivated some addons. At that time, the are aktivated bit I haven't these no more on the top of firefox and they are didn't working. So what can I do ? Last time the firefox had crashed under MAC (last update)

greetings from Germany Bernd

I use a site for business which has a static menu across the top of the page which for a long time has worked just fine. Now since the last update in FF, the menu is no longer there, but a square button appears on the right. When clicked a page opens in the same tab and it has the missing menu items there. However when you move your mouse to click on the one I want, any menu item your mouse crosses automatically opens which takes you away from the menu page. Frustrating to say the least. What do I need to do to get the original menu back where it belongs? Keep in mind the site works fine as before. This problem happened with the last FF update.

Hello,

It's been a while since the release date of chromecast on browsers.. Today, year 2020, all the chromium based browsers add chromecast (Edge, brave, chrome, etc..). My favorite browser is firefox, and i am forced to use a chromium based browser to cast to my androidTV's. Sometimes i think to leave this browser and use a chromium based all the time.

I searched and installed chromecast extension to firefox and nothing works to me, and they are not user frindly as chromecast extension on chrome.

Can you tell me if you even think in add a chromecast extension in firefox by default?

Thanks,

Fabio BISPO

Since some of the companies that I have online accounts with have updated their sites I am finding they are all broken in Firefox but not Chrome. Either the pages do not load at all or they load but without the login boxes. I really do prefer Firefox. Can your next update resolve this? Soon I hope.

I am running Mac OS X 10.11.6

Thanks

I just refreshed Firefox and now all my saved logins are gone! And there is something called Lockwise asking for my primary password. I dont have a primary password. Where have all my logins gone?

Twitter works fin on other browsers, just not firefox. Worked yesterday. Today I get: Oops.

The site at https://twitter.com/ has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Mac Catalina, Firefox 81.0 thanks

Same Problem on 2 Macs (!) (PowerBook Pro with HighSierra + PowerBook Pro with Mojave). Both have latest Firefox 81.0.1 installed:

I moved Firefox App inside die App Folder (used it for years without problems put of another directory). When launching it again, I was informed by a promt window, that Firefox uses now a new default profile instead of my own profile. So I launched "about:profiles" and choosed my old profile as my standard profile again and restareted FF.

My Bookmarks and so on where restored as expected, but I recognized, that the feature to create screenshots was suddenly gone. On both Macs ! No Button in the bar and also no option with right mouse click. I tried also "about:config", but there all screenshot settings have been ok.

Screenshot feature is only missing in my profile. It works if I choose the new standard profile without all my bookmarks an so on, but this is no help to me.

What can I do to make the screenshot feature work with my profile again? Thanks for your help in advance!

I use firefox on Mac OS 10.14.6. Every time I quit firefox (Stopping the program, not simply closing all windows) everything is reset to defaults. For all intents and purposes, it's as though I deleted and re-installed firefox every time I quit out of it. Bookmarks are removed, and any default bookmarks I removed are re-instated. It also opens up the set-up and privacy web pages that it does for the first time when you open it. None of the preference files are locked, it's set to remember history and I'm not permanently in private browsing, it's not even supposed to delete cookies. It's been like this since the moment I installed it; refreshing firefox changes nothing, uninstalling and reinstalling it also changes nothing. The only thing that stays the same is that my computer keeps firefox as my default browser.
