Firefox supportforum

So, Firefox automatically updated (to 103.0.1), and somehow or other the sidebar with all the bookmarks disappeared. Normally, this would take me about 10 seconds to find where the function was hidden, and turn it back on. No big deal--just a petty nuisance. Now, however, this function has been hidden so well, that I have no clue where to look.

I understand that interfaces change, and not everyone works the same way, but that's no excuse for flat out taking away a tool that some people (no matter how small a minority) still use on a regular basis, just in the dubious name of 'fashion.' Leave well enough alone. If I wanted my tools changed and moved on an irregular and capricious basis, I'd stick to Microsoft.

Now, please tell me how to get my bookmarks side bar back, or put together an update that makes it functional again.

When I create a file to print in Firefox ( in this case from Etsy ) the preview looks ok but when the file is printed or saved as a PDF then the text parts of the file are ok ... but the images are much too large.

You can see this on the attached images ... how it should look and how its coming out!?

Any help gratefully received :-)

Trying to print from a County Property Record that has a mixture of text and images (such as floor plan's, house pictures, etc). The print preview shows correctly. All images are full view and to scale, text is clear and to scale. The paper printout however has all of the Images magnified and only part of the Image is showing within the image frame. All text prints fine. I can print to a pdf and all is good matching the print preview. I can then print from the pdf and all is still good on paper. The Problem is only when printing directly from the website print preview to paper. I do not have any problems printing the same website from Safari or Chrome. I have tried from my home network, my Mac to my Brother printer. Then from a friends home network, their Mac to their Brother and HP printers and the issue is the same. Definitely not a hardware issue and same symptoms on different instances of Firefox. My workaround is to first print to pdf and then print the pdf to paper but would prefer a direct solution. Appreciate any help in resolving!

I have an odd issue with Firefox that has gone on for some time. Certain symbols don't show up correctly.

I've included an example with Google Calendar showing what I get with Firefox and the correct display using Chrome.

Is this some obscure setting that I need to fix?

When I switched from Safari to Firefox on my MacBook Air, my safari bookmarks migrated as "imported". Now, a few years later, I have placed Firefox on my Iphone and Ipad, but when I sync the "imported" bookmarks did not migrate, nor did the toolbar bookmarks. All other bookmarks migrated.

Hello,

my old computer died and got a new one. I signed in Firefox but I don't know how to transfer all of the bookmarks and saved toolbars from the old computer. Unfortunately, I'm not able to turn on the old computer anymore so I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve this info.

Thank you so much, I appreciate any help you can offer.

Hi I am running Firefox 103 on my lenovo thinkpad T570 running windows 10. Streaming any video (e.g. BBC iPlayer or GCN+ or any source I have tried) Video very choppy, freezes for several seconds while audio continues as normal. this is essentially unusable. Task manager shows firefox running at 70% or more I have tried all the power management settings and that makes no difference. The Nvidia Gforce940 appears not to be used at all. All my drivers are up to date I have tried firefox troubleshoot mode, which makes no difference full screen mode or not makes no difference (its a 4k screen so I wondered if it was doing some kind of upscaling) makes no difference whether I run on external monitor or internal. Also makes no difference whether the laptop is connected to my thunderbolt dock or not. I can run the same content side by side in Chrome. Chrome displays the video smoothly with no glitches at all and consumes around 16% CPU (still no Nvidia GPU utilisation)

This problem does not happen on my other PC, a 5 year old Intel NUC, with i5 cpu, also running win 10 connected to my TV.

If i can't fix this I will have to very reluctantly revert to Chrome for video streaming I havent worked uot how to obtain the troubleshooting info to share but happy to do this if necessary

many thanks John

Facebook Video just keep flickering Rapidly and won't play. Using the latest Firefox browser. Even same happens in Youtube. This problem was not there in previous versions, only happening since some newer firefox. Computer config included in picture herewith. Error Not happening in my old Microsoft Edge browser

Hi all-

I've recently switched to firefox and my only complaint is that Youtube does not appear to be functioning it well. Frequently videos will just never load, remaining a black screen with the circle spinning. The rest of the page loads, but not the video itself. I've left one of these pages open for four hours and it did not load at all during that time.

Once I had a video that was playing just fine, and I accidentally hit another video on the side of the screen. When I went back to the one that had been playing, it was now a black screen and the endless loading circle.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which videos will actually play and which will not, other than I've noticed it happen a bit more frequently on videos uploaded in the past twenty four hours.

I've uninstalled the browser and reinstalled it, cleared my cookies and cache, made sure firefox is up to date, everything I can think of doing. I've not been able to find anyone else mentioning having an issue with this. No other browser on my laptop seems to do this with youtube, just firefox.

Any suggestions? It's getting pretty frustrating.

One of the functions of our website is a local download of a portion of the site. When downloaded an .htm file (and its companion directory) are downloaded. When the .htm file is loaded, a .jpg file should correctly load via javascript. It no longer works in Firefox but it does work in Chrome and Edge. Screenshot 1 and 2 show it working in Edge and Chrome, 3 shows it not loading in Firefox. Does anyone have any ideas on why this can be happening? I've already tried Troubleshooting mode, new profile, different computer - nothing seems to be working.

Unable to access www.metrobyt-mobile.com with Firefox for Windows but it works fine in other browsers and with Firefox on Android. All I get is a blank white page for about a minute then it says:

The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to www.metrobyt-mobile.com.

• This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I checked and verified that cookies appear to be correctly enabled and checked other questions about this problem but was unable resolve the issue.

I go to Yahoo.com for email several times daily. I rarely go to Youtube.com .

I believe the order that url suggestions (and autocomplete) come up has changed in one of Firefox's updates and now, as soon as I type the "y", Firefox suggests Youtube.com . I go to Yahoo.com a hundred times for any one time I might visit Youtube and Yahoo would come first alphabetically so I would assume it would "suggest" Yahoo before Youtube.

My guess is that Firefox decides on which site is more popular during daily browsing but this was not the case before.

I have tried several methods to attempt to control the order the suggestions appear but Youtube still autocompletes as soon as I type the "y".

Any way to change this to my liking? Or is this just the way it is and will be?

I've attached a screenshot but I edited it to obliterate a few id's and personal information from the example url's.

I've forgotten my password for my firefox account but im still currently logged into it and I want to move my firefox account to my new computer but don't know the password to login and sync it. I dont want to reset my password because I'll lose all of my saved passwords and bookmarks. Is there anything I can do?

Every time Firefox updates I have to Re-authenticate every one of my secure websites and the website asked if I want to register this computer. It wouldn't be bad if it wasn't 3 or 4 times per week. Websites that I have to sign in to such as banking, credit cards etc. The last time I asked this question I was sent an email with a link to Thunderbird support. I need browser support.

I would like to create what I call custom popups. If I go to a page, a popup will show my own notes. This may be a reminder about my personal history. It would have to be on my computer only and be triggered when I go to the site. I realize that the real url may be obscured by an app, and I don't know if that can be overcome.

I'm imagining when I go to a particular web page, I will see a reminder, or popup or note with my own comments.

This may already be available, but perhaps I don't know the right questions to ask.

I assume this would only be available on one browser on one computer.

Looking at a product on Amazon (that I've purchased before), it may tell me: "Works like a charm" or "Piece of *"

On a dating site it might remind me when I see one person: "Danger, Will Robinson" or "Try again after Christmas"

A business site might show a note: "Remind owner you met at Halloween bash" or "Express sympathy about loss of pet"

On the App Store it might remind me that an app: "Doesn't work for me" or "This is the one Janet recommends"

Perhaps on a saved document: "Sent on Aug 7 by Robert" or "Still doesn't have the right tone....look again in a week"

And when I am deciding which app to use on my computer: "Great graphic app when rushed, but not powerful" (I would never think that an app named "Moosepow" was for graphics.)

I may even be asking the wrong question. I want reminders that are automatic.

How do I set the new tab homepage and allow entering a new location safely?

The moderators and firefox devs keep suggesting "new tab override" add-on but there is a bug in the UI. When you use that add-on, then press control+T it does NOT highlight or remove the existing address. This means when I type a search, it sends my contents AND "moz-extension://....." which given the uniqueness of that URL is a privacy violation as it seems unique enough to identify me personally.

The behaviour I expect is the same as the default tab, i.e. I press Ctrl+T and then can type directly into the address bar without any existing content.

RANT: I've been using firefox almost 20 years and this is the 1 item that may make me move, not because it's an essential feature but because it shows the total disrespect shown by ignoring and fobbing off of users that obviously want this feature. Removing it was part of a slightly user hostile move to force them to see pocket or other social links.

Users that want this: https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1162532 https://support.mozilla.org/gu-IN/questions/1218838 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1073254 https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1266777 https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/vdy44z/i_cant_get_a_new_tab_to_open_at_google_homepage/

Using the Nightly build with support for the JXL (JPEG XL) image format, I am able to open JXL images. However, the images are severely degraded if the source image is a 32-bit (HDR) image. The highlight values above SDR white are clipped. Effectively, the image is ruined.

So while I can view HDR videos just fine in Firefox using a properly configured HDR monitor (Apple Pro Display XDR), HDR photos do not work.

Does the roadmap for JXL support include plans to support HDR?

I am using a WooCommerce plug that allows for website manipulation via real time CSS changes. I am repeatedly receiving this message, and the browser freezes and has to be reloaded:

DOMException: The quota has been exceeded.

Uncaught DOMException: The quota has been exceeded.

I dont seem to have this issue with other browsers. I would like to keep using FireFox, how do I fix this? Ive already cleared the cache and current settings for memory are at 1 gig... it only buys me some time as eventually the symptoms reappear.

The relatively new computer (running Windows 10) used by a non-admin person keeps asking for admin permission every time there's a firefox update. I have several other workstations with firefox and none of those ask for admin rights to be able to update. No solution found in several internet searches for this problem. I'm about ready to put Chrome on this person's computer so I don't have to go to his desk & enter my admin credentials for just a damn FF update.
