Firefox supportforum

I looked at a previous thread on this - back in 2014, so I hope someone has an answer now. After downloading Firefox (for privacy reasons) all my existing .pdf files became Firefox .html files. Including .pdfs that I myself created by scanning documents. I have now been into the firefox preferences to ensure (I hope) that .pdfs are opened using Acrobat in future. But how do I get my existing files turned back? At the moment I feel very much like Joe (last thread in 2014) - Firefox should warn of this before downloading. One does not expect a Browser to change existing file types.

For some reason today all of the sudden I can no longer see YouTube videos whether they are on the YouTube site, or embedded on another site. I checked another browser, and there is not issue there (Microsoft Edge). I then tried to sign up for YouTube, but the process broke down because the confirmation code was never sent to my e-mail. I also turned the AdBlock off, but that didn't help either. I checked with my ISP and there are no issues on their end. Everything else I use is not affected by this issue. So what gives?

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 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'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?

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!

Hello. Is it possible to Export, import to a file of saved bookmarks in Firefox?

I know that it is possible to remember them on the user's account. But in large companies / government institutions where computers are in the server's domain, such functions are often blocked. When an employee has a changed computer, this data cannot be saved in order to be transferred to the new computer. Or is there a hidden feature?

When I'm REGISTERING, I put in my email address (which I've been using for about 10 years). Then I get: Please enter a valid email address.

My email address is not valid? That's ridiculous.

Added random screen savers from bing. Screen now reverts to saver after 1 minute. Have tried the settings in control panel/ settings. Tried uninstalling bing but just ran into dead ends. Any suggestions on where to look?

Hi,

I was reading this forum post on how to move a Firefox profile folder on a different location: the suggested modification is the same found on some other articles dating back many years.

Now a default Firefox installation contains an .ini file whose structure is changed as you can see in this image

The old file structure can be seen in this image.

Can someone suggest the right .ini file modifications to move the profile to a different folder?

Thank You.

Unable to play any videos on Amazon/Netflix. Just says Video unavailable. The same videos play just fine on Safari. Using a Mac Air M1.

After some investigation, it looks like the OpenH264 is not downloading (OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. will be installed shortly.) Widevine is installed on the other hand.

I have not saved the error message, however, when I tried opening firefox the other day there seems to be an issue with dll. I can physically open firefox however the home screen never loads. I can physically search things in the search bar and suggestions will pop up, but nothing will actually search. I recently installed all of my driver updates and other windows updates as well. I also tried to update and uninstall/reinstall firefox. I even tried to refresh it. Yes, I am connected to the internet because I am currently submitting this on the same computer via google chrome. I am wondering if it is possible that there is something wrong with the file I am downloading to make firefox run. I am out of simple fixes here and could use some help. I wish I saved the error message, but it was something along the lines of 000.00012f. This isn't it exactly but definitely a bunch of 0s and a 12f or f12. Definitely could use some insight since I am a student with assignments due in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your time, BR

Windows 7 Pro, Firefox, current, 84.0.2.

I've tried logging out and back in, I've cleared ALL history, cache, cookies, etc. I've tried restarting Firefox, no help. Gmail, Voice and contacts all show fine. This was working fine last night, less than 12 hours ago. System was shut down last night, and booted this morning, and this problem has occurred. Logged in via Chrome and calendar shows fine, so it's likely some probem with firefox. Hate to reset firefox and have to load all my extensions again.

Here are the extensions/Add-ons I have loaded. But bear in mind these were loaded last night, and have been loaded for many months at least, with no problems. AND, other Google site, gmail,voice, contacts all work fine.

Below pic is what I see. Blue bar at top scrolls left to right continuously.

I've tried the Firefox reset/refresh option, exact same issue.

I'm even willing at this point to uninstall Firefox and reinstall from scratch, but how do I ensure ALL Firefox system modifications, etc. ARE removed?

HELP!

Thanks.

I started using Firefox on a Windows 10 laptop. I checked Task Manager as the computer is slow. It shows 6 instances of Firefox, all 6 using memory, with one of them showing CPU usage.

Is this "normal"? Is this how Firefox works? Thanks.

Before they updated their printing process, you could go to properties and change to black and white, or fast, or whatever. NOW, I can't find that option anywhere and it's awful. It's like they totally copied what Chrome looks like and Chrome's printing is awful. Mozilla was always better until now.

If anyone knows if there is some trick to getting to the properties page, that'd be great!
