Firefox Community Forum

Okay. So I downloaded Firefox on my chromebook from flathub, but it keeps crashing. I open a new tab: it crashes. I close a tab: it crashes. I don't open or close anything: it crashes. I don't touch anything: it crashes.

I've says that either my theme or one of my add-ons is causing the crashes but I removed my theme and it still crashes and I can't remove any add-on because it crashes if I try to open a new tab.

Now, did/does anyone else have this problem or am I just stupid and missing a very obvious thing.

Yesterday, I had a trusted Firefox browser with bookmarks going back many years. Today, I have a Firefox browser which has zero bookmarks and no import capabilities. For the first time since Firefox, Edge is starting to look better.

Hallo, zum wiederholten Male hat sich meine Firefox Startseite verändert und meine angelegten Tabs in der Linken Spalte sind verschwunden. Ich habe die Tabs sorgfältig angelegt und wenn Sie mir diese Einstellungen nicht wieder anlegen können, dass wechsle ich meinen Browser, weil das sehr nervig ist und unangenehm! Freundliche Grüsse, Wilfried Schlachter

There is a document produced by Mozilla Support entitled Install Firefox on Linux. There are tow commands explicitly for Trixie. They both start with cat <<eof. the first one didn't work and was obviously incorrect. after much digging i found that wrapping piece eof like this 'eof' works. did not figure out, someone else did. hope mozilla support will update file. < p></eof.>

This is a reply to WXIE about a problem I wrote about yesterday. The document i am refering to can be found here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

I am referencing Step 4 for Debian Trixie and Newer.

I got over/thru those issues and when I ran apt update I found that the package was looking for Firefox was looking in a different place than where the previous steps place stuff. I am just comping back to Unix/Sun OS/Linux and 30 years working with a different OS. I hope this document will be updated after someone actually takes the steps. I will continue learning.

I am not a computer nerd I can only describe what is happening. I am addicted to puzzles and do them every day but am encountering problems nearly every day this week of the puzzle pieces not responding to mouse and have to shut down the computer. At other times I am kicked out of the site and returned to my desk top. No amount of trying to then get back into firefox is useless until much later on. Why is this happening?

An Add-on (a theme) I've been using, Graphite Grace by compilan, has been removed with the following message:

"This add-on is blocked for violating Mozzila's policies and has been disabled".

As a user, I feel I have the right to know what policies were violated, and whether the add-on was indeed malicious as well as what data may have been compromised. Where can I get that information?

I was browsing for vacant jobs in LinkedIn and ended up on this page: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4400116024/?trackingId=&refId=&midToken=AQHkKqfITpiwdw&midSig=2f8JsuceFtMYc1&trk=eml-email_jobs_application_rejected_01-similar_jobs-0-similar_job&trkEmail=eml-email_jobs_application_rejected_01-similar_jobs-0-similar_job-null-g3nlj~mo2hn6z8~of-null-null&eid=g3nlj-mo2hn6z8-of&otpToken=MTAwMjFlZTQxNjJhYzljM2JlMmYwMmVkNDAxYWU3YjA4NmNiZDQ0MzlkYWQ4NTZjNzljMTAxNjg0ZjU4NWZmM2YzZGZiN2JjNTVjNWZjZTc3YjhmZDg3ZWQ5YTExZWUyMDg1N2Q1YzI4OGNjNDU0MjU3YTEsMSwx But pressing the Apply button, did not take me to the application page, but instead a page that was saying: "Be careful. Something doesn’t look right. Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with jobs.tuvsud.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails." And there was no option to ignore this and just go to the site??? I needed to open MS Edge instead, to be able to apply for the job???

In the Firefox browser, when I am on a page with only an image, it seems like Firefox does not allow me to open the ctrl-f field to type text.

I want to use this on image pages, because there are times when I need to retrieve information from an image, like the title of a book from the image of a book cover, and it is much more convenient to type out the text in the same window (alternatives would be something like writing out the text on a piece of paper and then typing it after leaving the tab, or opening some other program where I can type text, or trying to memorize the text). If I type out the text in the url field it usually shows a bunch of dropdown text that covers the image and keeps me from being able to see what I'm typing, which is why I usually use the ctrl f field to type.

Is there a setting I can change that would allow me to use ctrl-f on pages that only have an image?

edit: the best alternative I can find is to open web developer tools in the page and use the ctrl f field within the web developer tools window

According to the help pages, I should see Firefox Updates in the General section of the Settings tab. I found this out because Firefox is not being covered by my (independent) tracker protection programme. The fix, according to the independent tracker, involves accessing the 'Firefox Updates'

1. My left-hand sidebar contained about 150 URL links, mostly not bookmarks. I have used this constantly for the last 10 years to access desired websites. 2. After installing 149.0.2 this sidebar with all links disappeared when Firefox was restarted. 3. I tried several suggested remedies such as changing profile or settings on General or Home tabs. None of these were successful. 4. I have seen a portion of my list twice, enough to believe the entire list is stored someplace. It displayed in a box on the Firefox page, but I cannot remember how I produced this list.

How do I get back to having a sidebar full of links?

When I open email links in Firefox, it opens my mail app (proton) but not a new email message. I’ve been in contact with proton support and they said this is only an issue with Firefox and not other browsers. This take works fine on safari and brave on my end, so it seems like a Firefox specific issue. Is this a bug or is there a setting I can fix on my end?

bold text whenever I go to a password needed site (account), firefox says passwords blocked and asks for a touch ID or a Firefox (?) password WHICH I DON'T HAVE. Can i change my Firefox password? If so, how??
