Firefox Community Forum

when i try go log in on certain sites i keep getting a message asking for a fingerprint my computer doesn't have a finger print and i have no clue what it is asking for.

Reader view doesn't work on many Lifehacker pages/articles. Can something be done to make it work on those pages? Here's an example:

Recently, whenever i have to quit firefox, my tabs have all disappeared upon opening. I have tried all the suggestions in the Mozilla help and nothing seems to work. This used to happen from time to time which was frustrating but now it happens every time I need to quit firefox. "Recently closed tabs" and "recently closed windows" are greyed out when I try to use that. and there is nothing in "restore previous history". Thank you for your help.

Using Firefox on Mac (iOS 15.6.1) - restarted Firefox for updates and it's deleted ALL my bookmarks - what the hell? Everything gone from the toolbar, but I can still see them on my phone?

(This is the last straw of a string of bad experiences with Firefox - I think I'm switching to Chrome if there's no easy solution!)

When I sign in to the NY Times (for example) I get a dropdown of autofill email addresses. Some are even mistyped addresses or bogus addresses I've used to access webpages that'll take any email address. I cannot delete these. I've tried shift-delete. These email addresses cannot be accessed via Firefox preferences: autofill screens do not list email addresses but only the physical addresses that I've saved.

(And then, of course, the minute you submit any email to the NYTimes it immediately creates an "account" and starts sending you subscription offers.)

Hi Team,

My Firefox account is linked to both my Android phone and my Mac. However, I’ve noticed that some browsing history entries available on my Android phone do not appear on my Mac. Most likely, these visits were recorded before I connected my Firefox account to my Android device.

Both devices are running the latest version of Firefox, and sync is fully enabled. I also manually triggered a sync just a moment ago.

Could you please let me know how I can import or sync my existing browsing history from my Android phone to my Mac at this point?

Please see an example attachted. I have more like it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards, Diamant

Hello. My macBook recently died. I was signed into Firefox, so my tabs should have saved. I tried to open / upload them onto my new iMac desktop. But for some reason it only keeps wanting to mirror the open tabs on my iPad, which is not what I want. I want to resurrect the tabs open on my macBook before it died. How do I best do this please? Thanks

Hello,

Does FIREFOX offer an app that will read my email to me? OR (desktop Mac)

I have a DAW (Digital Audio Workstsation) (Logic is the version Apple offers. )and I've purchased many musical apps. Guitars, keyboards, etc but a lot of them have long manuals. I'd love to be able to hear the text, say while washing dishes.

I do have the CC on my television while viewing shows

I'm over 60 and I didn't read as much (as I should have, since I was younger) my reading comprehension isn't that great. Thank you for reading, Roger Erickson

Hi,

Every time I try to connect to my Gmail account, the browser freezes and I have to restart it. I’ve tried everything, but nothing works. Please look into this — since your last update, Firefox has become unusable.

Thank you for your attention.

I've been having issues logging in to my Instagram account through the Firefox browser. I've tried entering the password manually, clearing cache+cookies, opening in troubleshoot mode, and turning off the enhanced tracking mode (in case that might've been causing the issue) all to no success. This has been an issue since I started using Firefox as my default browser about 2 months ago.

I got a random pop up on Firefox that I clicked without fully reading it, which closed Firefox and then prompted me for the administrator password (aka the password of that account on my laptop) so Firefox can install a helper tool. I did, and it did nothing. Every time I try to open Firefox I get the same pop up prompt and no matter how many times I give the password nothing happens, and I can't open the application. Clicking cancel on the prompt also does nothing.

I logged onto a different account on my laptop and can use Firefox like normal, but none of my settings/bookmarks/passwords from my other Mac account are saved here.

I would just delete and reinstall Firefox on the administrator account that is having this issue, but I don't know if I have anything properly backed up on Firefox, and I have a ton of things saved on there that I really don't want to lose. What do I do? Please help :(

Last screenshot is what happens when I try to launch Firefox and enter the password when the install helper prompt pops up

I tried restore under managing bookmarks, but it only give me about a week or two's dates as choices. I went back and it is still gone. I looked for an Old Firefox Data file on my desktop (or anywhere on my computer) and did not find that either. If I can't choose to add something to a category or to the tool bar, the bookmark function is not really helpful to me.

Good morning Why on the website https://www.plusliga.pl/ when I select a match I can't view it point by point, but in the Safari browser I can?

I use a portal for work and am required to download a variety of documents for specific tasks. When I download certain documents, predominantly Word documents, they are saved with a file name that ends with the word attachment, e.g. 'abcd.docx,attachment'

This does not happen with any other browsers that I use and I know the obvious answer is to use those but I'm interested as to whether anybody else has had this problem and whether they have found a solution?

I restarted my computer, but my tabs did not reappear. I restarted, but I have lost all my bookmarks, and I cannot add bookmarks. All Mozilla recommendations have failed.

I am having problems navigating using Voice Control which I believe was previously called Voice Over, which allows me to control and type with my voice. It works on Safari however on the Firefox desktop app it is completely broken and I cannot give any commands and typing text doesn't work on some website such as ChatGPT.

I found an old article explaining the support has been added however I don't understand why I can't use Voice Over at all on my Mac.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to print this PDF file. When I print through Firefox, the "R" characters are replaced with "T"s Printing with any other application such as preview on my mac does not result in this issue.
