I have received two emails from Sky regarding updating my Sky ID on my iPhone to enable continuing use of Yahoo emails. However, when I click on the link given there is a Google error message denying access owing to a violation of Terms of Service. This means I am unable to update and could have future problems with access to Yahoo emails on my iPhone. Can you help? Alan Warburton.

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue related to the Vanguard anti-cheat system used by Riot Games, specifically in relation to League of Legends. After installing the game and Vanguard, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to launch Firefox, nothing happens. However, if I change the name of the firefox.exe file, I can start Firefox on a different profile, but it only works for a short period before becoming unresponsive. None of the options or tabs respond after that.

Could you please provide assistance on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

Hello,

My password saved are deleted every time I close FF. It used to be manageable because Google and other sites didn't require me to fill my passwords (cookies did the trick I suppose) but now I also loose access to gmail and Youtube every time I close FF. It's annoying to have to use 2FA every damn time. And keeping the passwords available.

I've tried every answer I found by looking around :

- tried to start in safe mode - disable hardware acceleration - I have no extensions

FF saves the passwords correctly (at least they appear in the saved password tab) but they are erased every time I restart FF. The cookies aren't automatically deleted (FF remembers my browsing history) but I need to relog into Google.

I getting frustrated.

the only autoplay setting i can find is under privacy and security. the page shows DEFAULT FOR ALL WEBSITES: Block Audio and Video, but videos still open and play. the page does not retain the change when i select the button REMOVE ALL WEBSITES. this problem has not been happening for years. it may have begun about six months ago. thank you for your time

Lately, I have been getting a pop-up error when I start and close Firefox. The error reads: "XULRunner Could not determine any profile running in backgroundtask mode!"

I have found posts such as this one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1398228 and other posts suggesting to disable the scheduled task in Windows Task Scheduler, but none of the solutions have worked thus far. Anyone know of any other solutions?

Somehow I cannot type an apostrophe, whenever I do it just shows whats between the brackets ( ).

What I do: 1. Press the apostrophe button 2. Press space

Expected result: '

Actual result:

I m on Firefox Linux and my keybord is set on INTL

Hello,

I have been facing this issue when accessing Google Drive using Firefox, after selecting a file and clicking on "File information" option the "Details" and Activity" tabs simply don't load, as you can see in these screenshots.

Also, I found this thread also here on Mozilla Support from two years ago that reports the same issue. Apparently the bug was solved but ended up returning in most current versions.

I opened the current thread just to report this bug again. Thanks.

EDIT.: Another user reporting the same, his thread was archived: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1422875

After update, when I click on auto fill option a settings tab opens every single time. I close it and it happens again. I use firefox to fill out some repeated forms (and separate topic would also like to customize these autofils and pre-write some ideally), but this is a new problem that breaks using firefox totally for me, causing lots of scrolling clicks and time wastage. What changed that can be fixed in recent updates on this? Thanks.

FireFox assumes that text size is the same for all pages in a domain, rferl.org for example. That is _not_ true. If I have set size to 50% and then take a link to a page that's different and have to set size to 67% to read it, when I return to the original page, size is 67% and text is too large.

i cant get firefox to open main page no matter what i try. Ive download it a few times and then it ask me to no let it fix it i did and then it still wont open.use firefox more than any site. ty if you can help.

Dear fellows,

I did lost all history data after a previous update, my user got corrupted data and somehow I did manage to import the info into Edge browser. To my surprise after I reinstalled a clean Firefox, it only imported back 3 months of browsing history. Topically, average user keep a computer 3-4 years.. I don't know from where developers came with the idea of limiting to such a shot interval. I have thousands of browsing history links from more that 10 years kept and I need them all.

Tried to increase the number from about:config, but there is an option only for Chrome which I never used and always hate :)

I did installed Chrome to convince myself about it's ingenuity, even if it was not necessary. It does have import option only from Microsoft Explorer, no Edge.

If there is a solution for importing a longer period and high number of entries, please share it.

I'm not an IT expert, but I can manage consoles if there is an even deeper option to modify config files.

Thank you in advance!

I've been using a Rewards site regularly (3/4 times per month) for several years without problem. This weekend the attached pop-up appeared. It makes no difference whether I select Resend or Cancel, the program just re-displays the pop-up trapping me in an endless loop. The only exit is to close the window and abort the process. I was able to complete the task without any problem using Edge instead so it appears to be a Firefox specific issue. I haven't consciously changed anything since last using the site successfully on 24 May. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

I'm hoping someone can help with a conundrum.

A few years ago, whenever I first started Firefox--whether I had just started up my computer or had exited Firefox and opened it back up--it would take several minutes for Firefox to load any website (Google, Amazon, weather.com--anything). Once the first site loaded, it would load subsequent sites normally. Interestingly, it was only my default profile that was affected; if I used another profile or created a new one, websites would load within seconds of my starting Firefox.

I finally broke down and created a new default profile, imported my history/bookmarks/etc., reinstalled extensions, adjusted settings, etc. The new profile behaved nicely, loading the first website within a few seconds of Firefox starting. But over time, the load time has gradually increased to the point where it is now behaving just like the old profile: I load Firefox, I try to go to any website, and it takes several minutes for it to load.

Any ideas what's happening/what's the problem? Hoping someone out there has some wisdom and can help troubleshoot. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have a really nasty problem (for almost 3 years now) that I just can't get a handle on (and I don't know the root cause 100% either). Here's my situation:

• We have a self-check-in terminal (kiosk) that is used in hotels
• The terminal runs a web app in FF full-screen kiosk mode (-kiosk flag)
• 99% of the time everything works fine and without any problems
• Sometimes though, the problem occurs that the entire browser content no longer responds to touch events
• My app continues to run, we see the visual feedback from the touch monitor, but Firefox no longer responds to anything
• If you connect via AnyDesk (our remote maintenance tool), you can click with the mouse
• Even the DevTools don't respond to touch interactions
• As I said, everything is fine via mouse interaction (remote)

What I have already tried:

• Disable hardware acceleration
• Browser restart every day at 4:00AM (so far so good, but it still happens sometimes in between of these restart windows)
• Set the widget.windows.window_occlusion_tracking.enabled to "disabled" - I read that the problem could be related to that

Does anyone know the problem and can help me? It's really critical for our business, as the guest cannot interact with the device and only a browser restart helps.

One more thing: I saw today that a second Firefox.exe process was running. After killing it, it worked again. What kind of process could it be that is affecting the main app so much?

THANK YOU

This pops up every few hours. Sometimes it pops up invisible but steals focus from the main window. How can this be disabled?

I tried all methods that have been mentioned everywhere on the Internet, including policy.json, Group Policy on Windows, etc. Nothing disables this nagging yet.

When I try to open a what may be a link in a page, which should bring up a PDF file, I think, I get the following:

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, api.medicare.gov will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

When I click on the Open Site in new Window button I get a new window with the following:

message "Unauthorized" context {} code null

I'm hoping to get some help with disabling the Insecure connection password warning in Firefox version 115.11.0.

In previous versions, I could disable this warning through the about:config settings. However, I couldn't find the specific setting (security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled) that was mentioned in some online resources.

I understand the security risks involved in disabling these warnings, and I only intend to do this on a trusted website on my local network.

Could you please advise on the best approach for achieving this in Firefox 115.11.0, or any alternative solutions to manage insecure connection warnings for trusted local sites?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear friends, I receive fake virus alerts from baseauthenticity.co.in. How can I stop this? Many thanks in advance.
