Firefox Community Forum

how do i block my location? Nothing seems to work. I want to search a site in another country but keep being directed to the site in the country I am in. I dont want to look at that site. I want the site in different country but keep being bounced to the current country site. I getting pissed

cannot search a site in the US when I'm in Mx. I DO NOT want the MX site. I want the US site and somthing keeps preventing me from doing so. I posted this previously and got answers that make no sense to me. Dont refer me to articles, they make no sense and those directions never work anyway. How can I get a real person to chat or talk to me to fix this or do I just need to use a different search engine?

When I use on line banking and I want to look at a check, I can not get Firefox to render a check image. Also I downloaded tickets to an event and FF would not render the Q-code on the tickets. I what to know what settings to change in order to do online banking. BTW it works in Chromium Browser, but I do not use it and have little knowledge about Chromium, I just have it on my laptop for troubleshooting.

how do i recover all the tabs I had open? I do not have and have not had the option to "Restore previous session". I did go to recover tabs, but it was not all of them. Then I tried scrounger.html and that did not work.

Hi!

Firefox has been my default browers forever, but recently (i guess with the last update?) when I try and use google image search, when i click a thumbnail instead of making it larger and displaying, it opens up like a mini tab on the right side, which ends up with the image displaying smaller than the original. This seems minor, but I do enough image searches that this ends up making it unusable to me in practice. I'm hoping this is just a setting i havent been able to figure out how to switch off.

Thanks for your help!

On some of my websites information is blocked. For example on my main bank site I can sign in to the site but all of my banking information is blocked so there is no account information. On my VA website I have a similar situation with information being blocked. for example I go to the messenger section and cannot see or write messages.

I just had to sign in to this forum although I had never logged out. I am using Firefox 143.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22.2. It is not the first time I am having to login again in one-by-one the sites I visit. And before anything else, I have not changed any of my privacy settings and no new profile has been created due corruption of my default one. It is not the first time this happens lately. Any chance with the Firefox update? I think I installed one quite recently.

Hello, Can Firefox not use Google's safe browsing because there are some big conflict of interests. If website owners do not put google's codes in their website, Google will block their website or flag it as deceptive. This may become a large legal issue later. Only once the website user verifies with Google, will this be cleared. I run over 400 websites (all of the same codes) and the websites that I verify with Google were all blocked with a notice that the sites were deceptive. There are no difference in codes with the site that were verified and none were blocked. So I had to upload Google's codes to each website to clear the blockage. There were no phishing, no spamming, and nothing deceptive about any of the websites. The only difference was they were not verified with Google. Thus this forces website owners to put Google's codes on their website which is giving Google way too much control over the internet. I thought firefox was not controlled by any other company such as Google. If I use other browsers such as Microsoft's Edge, none of my website had any issues. Please do not use Google services as that gives too much control to Google. In addition, Google's Captcha is really another obstacle.

I've repeatedly been unable to send a DM on a particular fb page ~ fb says it 'might' have something to do with my ad blocker! How do I disable just for that communication? (don't want to disable AB for anything else, I pick & choose that action. TIA

Gmail works on my phone (Android), Chrome, Opera, etc. It will no work in Firefox that I have used religiously for over 10 years. I've signed out of gmail and signed in...a dozen times. Nothing works. If I wish to read my emails, I switch to Opera

Why?

Hello,

I have version 143.0.3 (aarch64), running on a 2020 M1 mac. I did an update recently but I still have all of my bookmarks, that's not the problem. The problem is, although the space for the bookmarks toolbar appears when I click "always show" (and disapears when I select "never show"), I see nothing. Nothing shows up in this space and so I have to go menu diving to get to my bookmarks. Do you have an idea how to fix this?

This issue just started recently, say within the past 2 weeks Mid September forward.

Only happens in Firefox, Chrome not having an issue. Open Facebook tab and it opens fine then after 10-30 seconds, it crashes with this error "This page isn't available right nowThis may be because of a technical error that we're working to get fixed. Try reloading this page."

Have disabled all extensions, cleared cache multiple times with no success.

Appreciate any other suggestions on fixing as I'm not a big fan of Edge. Old school. lol

Thanks - Dan

Hello,

Google Drive today stopped loading properly. I keep getting the rotating circle or "working" in the lower left corner of the browser window. I can get it to load fine in Safari and Chrome.

Docs and sheets I already had open, I seem to be able to interact with and edit normally. But navigating the main file path in Google drive, opening folders, and opening files isn't working.

I would really prefer to not switch browsers, as my entire workflow is set up on Firefox.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Sarah
