Firefox supportforum

I recently noticed that if I am downloading or opening a file, if I do not click open or save fast enough it will Firefox will close the tab or window from which I am trying to download.

This seems to have started with version 88, but I am not sure.

The close can happen after just a few seconds to possibly over a minute.

To replicate I need to click on file link and when the dialog box come up to open or save, I just leave the dialog without making a selection and then the tab or window closes leaving the ope dialog box.

Can anybody tell me what this is called or how to stop this behavior?

I've been having issues with double-images being pasted on Firefox 88.0.1 (64-bit). I find it annoying because I end up deleting the second image on the site that I'm working on.

Initially, i thought that the keyboard that I'm using was a bit sensitive however, when I do paste of the screenshot that I've taken via other web browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera), it only pastes 1 image.

I've been reading some archived articles but nothing was mentioned about a fix on Firefox (or unless I've missed it). Is there something that I need to disable/enable on the Settings page?

I was on DashCams Australia, for this example. This started happening about a month ago, after an update (of course). I have also updated to see if it fixes. Some youtube videos this doesn't happen with. Don't ask me to identify playback method. I just click play Firefox Settings is to block audio and video autoplay globally. I'll select when a video is to play Linux 20.04 KDE Plasma 5 Firefox 87.0 Ublock, Noscript, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger

I, today, found that Firefox 88.0.1(64bit) sends "/nice%20ports%2C/Tri%6Eity.txt%2ebak" to an website. What is this? Am I infected? The Apache log at the HTTP server is as follows:

192.168.1.188 - - [10/May/2021:07:42:41 +0900] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 665 "-" "Mozilla/5.0" xps8940 192.168.1.188 - - [10/May/2021:07:42:42 +0900] "GET /nice%20ports%2C/Tri%6Eity.txt%2ebak HTTP/1.0" 403 - "-" "-" 192.168.1.188 192.168.1.188 - - [10/May/2021:07:42:42 +0900] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 - "-" "-" 192.168.1.188 192.168.1.188 - - [10/May/2021:07:43:58 +0900] "GET /Picture/MicroS5S.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 3042 "http://wista.jp/Index.htm" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0" xps8940

The server is located within my home LAN. 192.168.1.188 and xps8940 is the captioned machine that sends this unknown protocol. Tested by Chrome and found no such protocol sent. Could any guru enlighten me? Tak

European Portuguese does not exist! There is Portuguese from Portugal that gave rise to the remaining variants according to the respective countries. That's why we should write: Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Angola), etc. Thank's.

Hello, I'm trying to add a secondary email address to my Firefox account but each time I try I get the following message: "Secondary email must be different than your account email" I'm not typing the same main email address, I'm actually trying to type another one. The only possible reason that comes to my mind is that the address I want to add is already used as a secondary address for another Firefox account (namely, the one I use at work). I don't know if it makes sense, but it's the only possible situation this address is to be already found. Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Hallo, after the Update to Firefox 88.01 do not work Easy You Tube Video Downloader Express. The green Button to use the Downloader is not more on the You Tube Page. I try a new Installation of the Downloader, Firefox show that the Installation is o.k., but the green Button is not to see. Is there a Problem with the new Firefox? Thank you for help.

Firefox installs updates without my permission and then deletes everything - logins, cookies, bookmarks, view settings, all history.

Now this has happened 3 times in less than a month. And it seems to happen randomly. It is likely related to a new update. I get alerts for updates and this time when the alert pop up showed up I declined by clicking "not now". I had also changed my preferences to only install updates with my permission. That is ignored by Firefox. Instead this morning I walked away from my computer for a few minutes and when I returned every this was gone the "this is embarrassing" screen was there but the only restore choice was to "search Marquis".

There is some type of conflict going on and I can't figure it out. I am using a MacBook running 10.12.6 and I have used Firefox for years. The most recent change was to a different internet provider. But the problem with Firefox deleting my info started before that. Something seems to crash within Firefox and it may automatically restart and then install an new update that deletes everything. That is just my guess. I don't really understand a lot of this and don't want to spend hours learning about browsers. The last time it happened I spent a long time trying to follow the suggestions for getting my history and everything else back but none of that worked. So I've given up on retrieving anything and apparently even having a history because it's always going to be randomly delete by Firefox.

Maybe Firefox is not the right browser for me anymore? What are the requirements?

Thanks for any suggestions as to what might be causing this.

I use iCloud.com for my email. A couple days ago my launched message windows (such as opening or replying to a message) will not come forward of the main screen. The tabs appear as thumbnail previews (see attached), but will not display on top. They stay behind the main window screen and cannot be used.

I am on current Firefox version (88.0.1), and did several refreshes which would fix it temporarily, but then it reverts back. I did a complete uninstall and re-installed, but this still has not fixed the problem.

This appears to be only on this PC: I have another almost identical box where Firefox displays the iCloud tabs correctly.

I'm now having to use MS Edge to send or reply to messages from iCloud.

Data don`t change after press CLEAR button, why? Don`t change after restart Firefox? (clear on exit - set)

Hi,

The privacy and security settings don't work on Firefox 88 on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS). Many sites will offer the option to 'Login with google/facebook/whatever' rather than creating a new account for that specific site. One really annoying (and dangerous) consequence of 'logging in with google' is that it remains logged in. So for example if I log in to non-google siteX using my google credentials and then hours later open gmail in a different tab I get straight through to my gmail inbox without having to supply any credentials (and indeed any other user of the same machine could do the same). Obviously this highly insecure and dangerous policy of keeping me logged in indefinitely is implemented by Google for their own agenda and has nothing to do with Firefox. The bug in Firefox is that when I clear all data to work around this google problem FIREFOX does not work as advertised. So to try to 'force' a logout from my Google account I go to Firefox -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies & Site Data -> Clear Data, after a few minutes of churning away at my harddrive Firefox informs me that 'Your stored cookies, site data, and cache are currently using 0 bytes of disk space.' For good measure I then hit the 'Clear History' button. After this I open a fresh tab and go to gmail and I get straight into my inbox, no credentials required, so clearly Firfox is NOT deleting all cookies etc and is mis-reporting that 0 bytes are being used. So, does anyone know where/how I should report this dangerous privacy bug ?

Thanks MH

I have recently downloaded Firefox. Why am I seeing this when I try to open it: You do not have permission to open the application “Firefox”. I followed the directions to check "permissions".
