Firefox supportforum

I just noticed an auto download named uvapTQZG and have no idea what it is or what it's for. The file says 0 bytes html document and has the FireFox logo? Can anyone fill me in on what this is for?

I don't seem t have the right usernames and passwords to be able to print out my logins and passwords. I am able to login to Windows whenever I restart my PCs, but Firefox doesn't accept the password. I have tried versions of the name that appears on my Windows screen after login, but that doesn't work. There is no alternative account on my laptop.

Whenever I open Firefox, the window will appear shortly after, but it will take around a minute for websites to load.

• This applies to both tabs from older sessions and opening new tabs.
• It doesn't matter whether I've just booted up, or if I've been running for half an hour.
• I've tried disabling all extensions, but that hasn't fixed anything.
• This doesn't happen when running Firefox on Windows 10
• I've tried both the system package and mozilla.org version

I am running Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon on my Gaming Laptop. Specs shouldn't be an issue. Am happy to share any system info necessary. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!

The "shield" icon for turning off tracking protection cannot be turned off completely. It seems you have to do this for every single website. This feature (curse) makes almost all websites non-functional. How do I turn this off completely? If I cannot eliminate this I will change to another browser.

I can not remove the extension!

I have noticed for some time now that I have an extension in my Firefox extensions that has no name and keeps installing itself, even when I try to uninstall it through the Firefox folder. The extension causes that in my search suggestions when I enter something always other websites come to the surface, or the actually suggested by firefox sites slide down. Some yahoo and amazon sites come up on my search results.

The native FF bookmarks search function only returns bookmarks that match the search term. How can I get it to also return folders that match? That is, if my bookmarks contain both a folder and a page whose name includes the word "climate", I need it to show me both of them when I search on "climate". Right now, that search returns only the page. Is there a setting or something that will make it return both?

The "Bookmark Search Plus 2" add-on does return both folders and pages. But it has another limitation: It doesn't have an "Edit Folder" or an "Edit Bookmark" function. So if I want to find a folder with search and then edit its name, I can't do it with either the add-on or the native bookmarks browser.

My computer died, I purchased a new one. I can't remember the password for mozilla. I reset it and everything is gone, bookmarks passwords, all of it. Is there a way to get any of it back?

If not, why not? Why wouldn't there be a phone number to verify ID and reset the password? Why wouldn't there be another option besides zeroing everything out? There has to be a better process than this.

Hi Guys, every time i open a white website like google or my schools website it turns light grey like the attached photo. I haven't tried anything as I dont know how to fix it. Thanks

Firefox won't stay my default browser. Every time I sign on after rebooting MS changes the default to I don't know what. It doesn't say what is the default. It wants edge I guess but I deleted the entire edge app and all its dlls. So how do I make the choice through the "set defaults" settings permanent?

Good evening Community,

I have a prolem with my firefox browser since about 3 weeks. So I hope somebody around here can help me with that. Somehow it occurred that HTML5 videos need very long to load. Sometimes it even shows me the message that I should restart the browser. I really cant find the problem. I have the newest version: 109.0.1 (64-Bit) I deletet the cache. I also didnt install any Plugins or addons. Since the problem occured.

I tried other Browsers on my Computer and it works just fine. By the way I also have a pretty new Computer, the specs are fine.

The only thing I didnt try, is to reinstall Firefox. Because i have a couple of tasks opened which I dont want to lose or put in booksmarks. But that also cant be the problem. Because I always had around 10-20 tasks opened in the past.

I hope somebody can help me or had the same problem and knows how to fix it.

Sorry for my bad englisch.

Nice regards. BS

I have a sandbox iframe which is hosted by various websites. Lets assume that this iframe is loaded like this: <script src="https://example.com/wie.js"></script> I have already added 'allow-scripts allow-forms allow-modals allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-storage-access-by-user-activation' at sandbox. I also use document.requestStorageAccess() from inside the iframe and I set event listeners for the storage like this:

window.addEventListener('storage', onStorageFunc, false);. From the iframe a popup window is presented when user clicks a specific button and the popup opens at lets say at this url "https://paypal.com". After user navigation on popup, paypal at the end of the flow redirects user to this url "https://example.com/success". At this point when user is navigated to /success I add some data to local storage which I expect to trigger the storage event listener and the onStorageFunc to run. This doesn't happen, while in other browsers it works as expected.

Since both popup and iframe are under the same url (https://example.com) and I have used requestStorageAccess, I would expect this to work normally. Can you please help me to find out what is going wrong here? In the past I had the same problem but it was fixed when I added 'requestStorageAccess' and 'allow-storage-access-by-user-activation'. Now I can see it happening again.

Since the latest update, Firefox won't display Google maps anymore. There was a message saying Windows blocked access to the graphics. Can't figure out where in Windows 10 to undo this. Help! Firefox useless to me without Google maps.
