Firefox Community Forum

We are a high school alumni association and Firefox is used primarily for our social media sites but yesterday it started not opening our Facebook page properly - doesn't open the whole page, won't open the comments and if you click on something it just sits and spins

All of the sudden when on say a Amazon page and you LEFT click on a item description typically a page will open about that item and now it doesn't anymore. If I want to see that item, I have to RIGHT click on it and have to chose "open link in new tab" and then can see details of my item. This happens on other pages as well. I can also hold down the LEFT side of the mouse and I will see a tab open that says "we can't preview this link" and in bold text it says "visit link"

How can I get it back to working like it should. Issue is only with my laptop, my other computers work just fine.

When using BT Mail i am unable to input email address from drop down box which appears when typing intial first letters.

I can do this when using Edge.

I have updated my browser to latest version. Have also contacted Bt and have been advised that the issue is your browser. My wife has a chromebook and has no issue with the above problem.

Please advise.

I have four identity containers (container tabs) that I need to open simultaneously all the time, but doing it manually one-by-one is tedious. I want to create a one-click launcher via the command line that starts all four container tabs at once, yet I couldn’t find any switch for it in the help page I checked: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/CommandLineOptions. My Firefox version: Firefox Nightly 149.0a1. My Operating System is Windows 11

Why all of a sudden I cannot reacht my saved passwords anymore. Also it does nit prefill the saved passwords anymore when going to a website. How come Firefox/Mozilla keeps changing these essential things?? It makes it very much so less productive.

I've included a screenshot of what I get when clikcing on the Password tab. The information displayed in this wcreen also does not work. Clicking on Sync, does just nothing, just showing Sync in grey... Clicking on Login above just show this screen screen again. Useless.

Firefox recently started asking for a profile when I tried opening a link from email but, not having a profile, I ignored it. If I copied the link into my firefox browser (already open) I could see the link contents, i.e. page(s) opened. Since then I have closed Firefox and now get asked about a profile and have tried using original and creating a new one. We have, unfortunately, reinstalled firefox so this is now more complex. At present, whether I login to Mozilla account or not, my passwords, history etc are no longer on my laptop, despite supposedly being connected. Firefox on my phone is currently the only source of my passwords etc, which is not good as I cannot export from there!

Can I restore this info somehow? We've tried a few suggestions found on the web, but no good yet.

Has something changed recently? My husband got the same profile request on opening Firefox but it worked when he selected use original/default profile.

Every video i watch is not centered on my screen i tried everything thinking it was on my end but if i try it on chrome and edge everything is fine. Note that only the left and upper side has a space when in full screen the right and bottom are ok In the second image it's on youtube and may appear a bit more clearer

I have a very repeatable issue, that others have been dealing with as well, where Firefox will frequently disconnect Twitch chat after a period of time and go through a loop of disconnecting/reconnecting.

This is ONLY on Firefox, I can run Chrome or other browsers simultaneously with Firefox and Firefox will disconnect when others do not.

I am not sure what is occurring, but I know it only happens after a while. Like maybe after 30+ minutes of watching a stream, the chat will start skipping other users inputs, just show my own, then give me a Welcome to the chat connection and other messages will start appearing again. Once it hits this hang-up period, it starts disconnecting frequently.

I cannot find any resolution and there are no resources or articles about this, but I made a post on reddit and multiple users reported the same thing.

Afternoon,

I've used this account for a long time and today I had to reset my PC.

I was always signed into to Firefox to manage my bookmarks/passwords/history, however I've signed in now and everything is gone.

It won't sync up. I've tried removing the profile folders, copying them out, uninstalling/reinstalling firefox but nothing is working.

I tried to disable Windows defender, but that didn't do anything either.

The version I had at the time was Mozilla Firefox (x64 en-GB) Mozilla 147.0 which is the same version.

Is there anything that can be looked at, to see what has happened to the data I has?

418 Hello, I like your site (and I donate a little from time to time), but some of Firefox's behavior is becoming annoying: for months now, Le Monde articles have been cut off on the right (not those from Le Figaro), and recently Instagram has been blocking the browser after a few posts. Of course, it might be "their fault," but it's clear that it doesn't happen like that with Chrome. Good luck!

So I guess my Firefox update to ver. 147 from 146 by its auto update feature, but I realized all the past personal data (ie, history, cookies, passwords, profile, etc) was gone.

I have Mozilla Account (I think it's the same as Firefox Account back in the old days), so my personal data is now retrieved from some device as far as possible, but I lost local personal settings like Shortcuts on the main page on my laptop,p which is the main device to do everything.

I can't help what happened to me, and I will rebuild what I used to be on that day, but I am curious if it's just me, or there is some logic to cause this data loss.

I am receiving this on many different websites including CDNs (such as served JS):

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I verified it occurs in Private Tab mode too, without extensions. It does not occur in other browsers such as Chrome when I test the same URL. Clearing my cache etc does not fix it.

Hello,

After using your browser for many years now, I am very frustrated with your updates wiping out my bookmarks. I know how to fix it via the Help menu, but that ridiculous process is now required on EVERY update that has been rolling out over the past 6 months!

That's it - I've moved over to Edge. Someone on your software development team should be fired!
