Firefox-Hilfeforum

Good afternoon, hi admin, regarding the latest update, please for the printer settings for landscape and portrait to be displayed on the right as before and permanently for the choice of portrait and landscape settings. because we are constrained by the print settings for PDF, we have to go to the printer settings all the time. please help for the next update. thank you for your concern.

After setting Firefox as the default browser, every time I search on address, it opens Yahoo website instead of staying with Firefox. What else can I do to stop this from happening?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi. I'm trying to send a file for upload but I once I select the file, Firefox simply crashes. I've tried running in "Troubleshooting mode". Go to my website I want to send a file on, click "browse", choose file and... crash to desktop.

Checking the about:crashes page and uploading the crash (that works...) gives the error: STATUS_CALLBACK_RETURNED_LANG

I had issues with Firefox and Mapped Networked Drives in Windows before. So, I thought... save my stuff (no issues...) then reboot windows. Rebooting seems to fix a lot of stuff after all. But not here.

I reconnected my 3 drives (to the same NAS), opened Firefox, which takes a while to show a single page, go to sendspace.com and choose a file to upload from my NAS. Crash.

I disconnect my drives (all 3 of them), try send a file and... succesfully queued for upload.

What the heck? 99.5% of my files are on my NAS!

Here are the status reports to all the crash reports I sent to Mozilla: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/f90da30b-a25e-46ef-b4f3-c62830230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/89bd85e9-0136-463e-b215-50eac0230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/f568fda8-95e1-47a8-9605-c92b00230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/770ec31d-9c2f-4140-be5b-03d270230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/929b552f-f0f6-4277-892b-7d8fd0230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/05b5b342-2cbe-4f64-a746-4e8400230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/b3f60991-3f92-49a4-8812-2c9d00230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6eae55d5-a4ae-419d-b97a-55a5d0230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/783ca68e-be22-4893-a55e-070e60230702

A reminder: Troubleshooting mode does NOT fix my issues.

My email was hacked and AT&T suspended my account and I can no longer access my old [email1]@att.net email. My new email is [email2]@att.net. Your system will not let me change my information since I cannot access the old email account. Do I just delete the entire account and if so will I loose all my Firefox information I have saved and get a new account?

Hello,

after porting my SSD Arch installation from my old Laptop to a desktop PC, i have a really long startup time (about 30s-45s) for the first time after booting my PC. This problem doesn't occur with any other programs. The subsequent openings of firefox happen instant.

Have tried using "refresh" functionality to clean up firefox so my about:config is as clean as it gets, didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --no-remote", didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --safe-mode", didn't help. Have tried starting it with a completely fresh profile, didn't help. Tried purging it from the system and reinstalling it, didn't help. Same problem when I start it normally via dmenu/rofi.

I don't get any stdout log on any of these methods of starting.

I also don't know where to look for helpful log files.

Any help or hints on where to trace this fault are much appreciated.

Have a nice day :)

I recently got set up to use Firefox instead of Chrome. I use a computer at work and at home. I have sync settings set up the way I want but it doesn't seem to work. For instance, when I deleted an add-on at work, I would expect that add-on to be gone from my browser at home, but that isn't the case. I also have changed settings to allow a pop-up from my company's internal website. But at home that change in the settings isn't reflected. Basically I have two versions of Firefox, one at home and one at work. Anytime I want them to match up I have to do it manually. The only exception is bookmarks, they seem to sync properly.

I have no idea what happened. I signed into my Firefox account on my laptop in order to sync my devices, and now the format of every browser tab is completely different. It's very inaccessible and completely unusable to me now, and it's sending me into a panic. Does anybody know what this is and how to reverse it? Here's some examples of what it looks like now. It's even changed how the YouTube progress bar looks.

I'm sorry if this would be better placed in a different topic, but I genuinely have no idea where it would be placed.

Youtube, sometimes, loads for ~5-10 seconds on average for no reason, doesn't load the video or audio at all. Extremely frustrating when I'm just browsing, it may not seem like a long amount of time but I shouldn't have these issues to begin with. Cleared cache, no addons are out of date or tamper with Youtube. Tried every fix I could find on the matter, nothing seems to have worked. Issue persists. I had similar issues with Kaspersky AV installed, so I had just uninstalled it. Prior to this newest firefox update, I have had no issues at all.

Could someone from this amazing community go in and update it?

Greetings:

I want to have Dark Mode on everything. Thus also, yes, Firefox.

This site, for instance, is "Light Mode", which is addressed by someone else. The response was: "Hi Dennis, this support site does not have a dark mode. Sorry. Add-ons are not allowed to inject scripts into certain Mozilla sites because this would give them elevated privileges to access certain internal information hidden from normal websites and add-ons. So let's focus on other sites, since I assume you don't really use this one very often."

This support has no dark mode? UNFORGIVABLE! I mean, seriously: You offer in Firefox a "Dark Mode" which hardly works, seeing most websites coming up "Light Mode". Then NOT allowing a script which would make this side become Dark Mode, is not unforgivable ... it is downright wrong! I mean, why am I not allowed to see this site in Dark Mode, as this bright white is hurting my sight? This is darn user unfriendly, and breaches our customisation rights.

It is not that we turn it into an illegal style, like some porn style for instance. We just want it DARK. How wrong can that be?

More, what is the logic in offering it, but then to deprive us in this by you (Mozilla, not the users) revoking Dark Mode TOTALLY. EITHER you (Mozilla) gives us Dark Mode, and TOTALLY, EVERYWHERE, or remove it. Since this dualistic mindset, having severe Asperger's and ADHD, is something in which my brain conflicts. It is either All, or nothing. Not this half baked cookie you give us. Contradictions are a bad thing for us, we need clarity, and this ... just ain't clear. Is it yes or no? Can't be both.

Please make up your mind?

To the users responding, I thank you for the help you offer. Sadly, you often encounter issues that are not in your control, such as this one. Maybe we all should make a stand together, and ask Mozilla to het their heads out of the sand, for a second, to address the issues you users can't fix? Merely thinking out loud.

Is there a way to ENFORCE Dark Mode as setting to all websites, please? Tried several addons, but those all were equally half baked (not really, the damn website owners refuse the option of Dark Mode, for whatever reason, and like here, this light-blasting menace of a site which gives me a spectacular migraine, block addons from functioning. It had come so far, we are not even masters any more of our own damn health!!!

So, if you have a good alternative (I tried Dark Reader, Dark Mode, BlackOut and a few others, none truly seem to black all sites out ...)?

Thank you. Ben

Hey there, I was using one of my macs today and it suddenly started updating. It was taking ages and seemingly stalled, so I closed the app.

Now, all our bookmarks and history is gone. Also, the now updated version is not showing my new history etc.

Is there any way to retrieve our original bookmarks, history and passwords?

Regards Peter

I am using Arlo security cameras which store the video captures as MP4 files. The Arlo app has video playback feature that works in Chrome or Edge but does not work in FireFox. From what I have been abe to glean from searches, Arlo uses HEVC Codec that FireFox either isn't compatible with or is lacking the codec. Any suggestions?

Using Outlook Calendar, any day with more than 1 event simply shows as 3 dots. You have to open that day to see the events. Not this way with Edge nor Chrome. Am I missing a setting?

I am attempting to delete a few of the email addresses in "Monitor". Alas, after trying to click the trashcan icon, as well as erase/delete the actual email addresses in the Firefox Password Manager, also I have deleted the actual email accounts from the "respective" email services. *At least said "respective" email service have told me my accounts were...No Longer.?

At anyrate, I don't necessarily have any new email addresses to add, I simply do not use the ones I'm trying to delete. So, if anyone has any ideas, they would be received with much appreciation. Thanks all at the Moz:lla Support team and anyone else I've surely forgotten to mention, Aa-Ron

P.S. Thank you for the "Helpful Tip" at the bottom, however, I can think of nothing else. Although, my lack of computer literacy and below Pr-School level I.T. skills means there's a more than very high chance I've done something or other wrong. Ha! Thank you all, Aa-Ron

I have all my bookmarks that I use all the time and once I click on them that web site works just fine. I have two more web sites that are bookmarked and every time i want to log on to them it comes back "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.kingsoopers.com/" on this server. Reference #18.9cfe19b8.1688244058.3e96aa41". Can anyone tell me what is going on and why do I have this problem with just two bookmarked web sites when all the others work fine.\?

There is a website where a certain page of it is broken but rest seems to work. How can I report this? I tried using private browsing to see if the problem was caused by cookies but it isn't. Other browsers work but firefox doesn't.

I found that you can hold shift+delete, or hover over *search* suggestions and click the "..." to remove suggestions, but for the list of suggestions that appear when you simply click on the address bar to make it active, neither of these work and there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the settings that allow you to manually remove items from this list. There was a website that I visited very frequently over the last 1-2 years, that I do not need to visit pretty much ever again, it's at the very top of the suggestions every time I click the address bar even though I haven't visitted the website in months. There are other websites in there that I don't want, even if I do still visit them, I don't necessarily want or need them to be suggested. The only way I have found is to go into my history, search the domain name, and delete all traces of the website from my all-time history. This worked for the first website I mentioned, but I don't want to have to delete my history for each website I don't want in my suggestions. Long-term history can be extremely useful. Plus it's just a super janky way of doing something very basic that should be as simple as "Right click > Delete suggestion", especially as that already exists for search suggestions. Is there an obscure or hidden way of doing this that I may be missing?

When I found the shift+del method and the "..." method I spent a good 10 minutes not understanding why it wasn't working, thinking my FF was outdated as apparently these were added in version 113, but I am on 114 so that didn't make sense. It was only after a while that I discovered that search suggestions are apparently handled separately from the default suggestions shown when you simply click on the address bar. This doesn't seem all that streamlined, so I guess as a bonus feature suggestion: make it so that the same method applies to both types of suggestions? I assume feature suggestions don't go here so I might make an actual suggestion later...

Thanks.

Using yahoo search i am unable to open a particular page of the gofan.co website. In the past I was able to open this page which is the page where tickets are ordered. Other gofan website pages will open. I can open this page with Microsoft edge..and....I can open it using the New private window option. Gofan support has offered several solutions including clearing cache...none have succeeded.
