Firefox Support Forum

After installing add on the badges are not being shown, this started after refreshing Firefox. I have tried reinstalling and rolling back to previous version without success. Reluctantly I may have to change my browser.

Firefox saves files that I only wanted to open with another application.

I checked the previous solutions in the forum, but they did not work for me. (Windows 11) I changed in system> general > download , applications > the app to open that file type and it works, but besides this Firefox keeps saving the files in the default download folder.

I tried also about:config browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to false. browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir change to true No change - still saving copies.

Hi!

I want to customize controls like explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-extension-shortcuts-firefox

How do I bind mouse wheel up/down? Or ctrl + mouse drag left for example?

Double Fs, "ff", do not show up on my Firefox browser. More specifically, on Greenhouse job applications. I believe I have seen it in other instances on Firefox, but most notably on Greenhouse. Google seems to be fine. This website seems to be fine. I visited the same Greenhouse link on Chrome, and the "ff"s appeared. How do I fix this?

I have a sandbox iframe which is hosted by various websites. Lets assume that this iframe is loaded like this: <script src="https://example.com/wie.js"></script> I have already added 'allow-scripts allow-forms allow-modals allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-storage-access-by-user-activation' at sandbox. I also use document.requestStorageAccess() from inside the iframe and I set event listeners for the storage like this:

window.addEventListener('storage', onStorageFunc, false);. From the iframe a popup window is presented when user clicks a specific button and the popup opens at lets say at this url "https://paypal.com". After user navigation on popup, paypal at the end of the flow redirects user to this url "https://example.com/success". At this point when user is navigated to /success I add some data to local storage which I expect to trigger the storage event listener and the onStorageFunc to run. This doesn't happen, while in other browsers it works as expected.

Since both popup and iframe are under the same url (https://example.com) and I have used requestStorageAccess, I would expect this to work normally. Can you please help me to find out what is going wrong here? In the past I had the same problem but it was fixed when I added 'requestStorageAccess' and 'allow-storage-access-by-user-activation'. Now I can see it happening again.

I am on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS and really dislike when Firefox updates and I am in the middle of some work and I get this "Firefox has upgraded in the background and needs to restart".

I enjoy my privacy, so I start my browser with the "Delete cookies and site data when firefox closes" and "Always use private mode" set. This means when the browser restarts, everything is gone.

Why can't this be disabled? My laptop checks updates every day and I install them. Why can't I get a notification that an update is available so I can download and install at my choosing?

I use Linux Mint currently, I will be installing new linux OS, how to be sure all my firefox passwords and bookmarks come with me to new operating system? I think I know what I'm doing, and yet...I though I should check with another person to be sure I don't make a mistake and lose it all. so, I am backing up all relevant personal files on a separate drive, rather than take a full restore-able back-up snapshot of the current PC.

I want to be sure, do i need save any firefox-related files before installing new OS?

i do have this Firefox account, (which password I cant remember, but my PC does haha) and also on a tablet. Is sync enough to not lose it all? and is the password saved in Firefox on my tablet in "//accounts.firefox.com" also enough to not lose it all?

I know this is not the right category but I don't see such a category.

When trying to login with Firefox account to this very website, I need to enter email, password and token on 3 separate screens none of which supports auto-filling by the bitwarden plugin. This is highly annoying. Can you please make login process more password manager friendly for the sake of making user's life easier and more secure (copying password to clipboard is not particularly secure).

Thank you.

Firefox always uses excessive GPU memory when I watch video and livestream. about:memory shows that the explict GPU memory allocation is only about 200 MB but in the task manager the GPU memory usage is 1GB, and the latter doesn't decrease even if I close the tab. I suspect that this is a memory leak. I searched for Bugzilla and found a similar issue that has been existing for years: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386177

Hello! (sorry for my English in advance)

I frequently visit this website <mi.tv>, which is an online TV guide, to see what's on TV today, but the movies rerun TOO MUCH among the channels, making me always pass by the same movies everyday, again and again... So, I'd like to know if there's a way (JavaScript, CSS, some add-on, etc.) that allows me to hide some of the entries from the movies list (the movies I will never watch), and make the changes permanent. I've tried to use the Inspector, but, although I could manually hide some entries, it (obviously) didn't resisted a refresh, so I'd like a permanent solution, where I can mark a movie as "won't watch" (or put it in a list, or something), and it will be hidden in the site forever. I'm attaching two images, to show how the site is normally, and how I've hidden some entries using the Inspector (red arrows).

P.S.: this site has even an Android app, which is way more practical (in my opinion) than the site, but to ask for an Android solution would be too much, I think =D Anyway, it'd be already great to have a solution for this in Firefox Desktop!

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have a problem, where many bookmarks from my old device are synchronized to my current Firefox browsers (on PCs) even when old device is removed months ago. What worse, when sync is performed, it duplicates tabs, now in "Bookmarks menu" I have albost 2000 bookmarks what are duplicates od ~20/30 ofer month. If Firefox do sync now on 2nd PC, I will get again 2000 and plus something bookmarks. Deleting it gives nothing. It comes back again and again. Normal Bookmarks tabalso gets old tabs and duplicates.

Hello,

While I was trying to sync the Firefox logins saved into my Firefox account to my a new iPhone Firefox installation:

1. I've noticed the logins contained the URLs only (i.e. - the account and password were empty)
2. then I logged out from the firefox sync
3. removed all the local logins (they were not containing any credentials) - while sync was not configured anymore
4. Logged back in with sync, but this time while the almost all the logins got wiped out from my firefox account, including from the logged in and working devices.

Is it possible to restore these logins? This happened few weeks ago and the firefox versions were:

• windows 109
• iOS - latest version as of around two weeks ago as the firefox was getting installed from the Apple AppStore.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Corneliu

Hi,

So, it looks like snapd went ahead and updated my Firefox.... Grrrrr

Now I'm unable to access my profile information. (passwords, tabs, extensions, history, etc)

When I try, I get a pop-up telling me that using an older version if Firefox can lead to profile data corruption. However, I'm trying to use FF version 109.0.1 (64-bit), which should be very new.

How can I get my profile data back?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Diehl.

With Multi-Account Containers, I would like automatically open my Github work account in my Work container.

Because now I always see the page(attached) asking me to choose current tab or container.

If I check the 'Remember my decision for this site', it will open my personal Github account in container as well, where I'm not logged into my personal github account.

Is there a way to open in container based on URL? For example, "github.com/works-inc/*" will always open in container.

When I go to www.shoutfactory.com/shop and search for some movies, when I click on them, the page is blank (white). The tab looks like it is a gear icon. Yes I have tried Safe Mode and Yes ublock origin is disabled for the site in question. Page works fine is MS Edge Browser.

we have a file named file.loa in a repo/website. When we download the file in firefox, it gets downloaded as file.mp3. If I download the same file in Chrome, it gets downloaded as file.loa. What is making firefox rename this file please? multiple people have been able to reproduce this weird behavior.

My passwords are different in my Windows and Iphone versions of Firefox. How do I make sure they are all up to date please? Many thanks - this causes me lots of problems when I am travelling. Tony Dearsley
