Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

I am currently running Firefox on desktop (128.4.0esr) version.

The last few addons that I have installed are not working properly. Or rather, they work just fine, but when I close Firefox and re-open it later, they seem to fail to actually enable. I must go to the about:addons page, disable the addon, and then re-enable it for it to actually work. If I do not do this, it will not be on my toolbar, and the Extensions sidebar button does not show the addon in the list. It's as if it isn't properly installed.

After reading this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1420017 I thought maybe my extensions db got corrupted somehow, so I followed their instructions and deleted the extensions.databaseSchema config. And wouldn't you know it, it worked! Once I restarted Firefox, I saw some notifications in the main sidebar menu and was greeted with this: Notifications Once I clicked through them and enabled, everything seemed fine.

However after closing firefox again, the problem comes back. Those exact extensions that I manually approved upon restarting are the ones that are giving me troubles and not enabling properly. An interesting thing I noticed is that these all seem to be extensions that require additional permissions. I enabled the addon and gave them the permissions they requested, so I don't know why they are failing to enable properly on startup.

I want to permanently fix the problem

I have a custom pitch black theme ( pls add it without addons ) which now only flashes for a second when i open the browser and returns to the normal greyish dark mode. When i go to Firefox Color addon page and load it again in saved themes it stays pitchblack even if i open another browser window until i close all the browser windows .

Hi,

I can't log into Firefox sync if logged out. I bought a new laptop that I'm trying to sync, and every time I try, it either claims the password is wrong or the 2fa code is wrong. Every so often it will work, I will get the prompt to download Firefox for mobile too, but then after that screen it appears I'm disconnected again. I tried resetting the password and I got an "unexpected error". Any idea what's going on?

How do I fix the following error : PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I can no longer access many websites and get the following message when I attempt to do so:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to download.mozilla.org. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

I often use Restore Previous Session to get back all the tabs (5-15) I was using. The last two times I clicked it, Firefox immediately shut down, and then when I opened up, the 'Restore Previous Session' option was greyed out.

The first time, I was able to find the sites again on "Show All History," but the second time, it had wiped out my WHOLE history.

What's going wrong? What can I do to fix it? I know nothing about the inner workings of computers. Nothing.

I receive a daily email from the Toronto Star with brief summaries of current news stories. The summaries include a link that opens the complete article in Firefox (or other browsers).

When I open the full article in Firefox, the article stops at an advertisement (which does not display). The ad includes the wording "Story continues below", but it does not; instead it goes to the end of the article.

When I open the same article in Chrome, the article opens properly.

I am attaching screen shots of the two browsers. I tried manually collecting the Data as well, but it extends to 80 p. I can save it in Word, then convert to a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat, but I cannot convert the file to a .JPEG and attach it. I am happy to send a copy of the Word file; just ask

At some point in the last few weeks -- possibly after an upgrade -- I've noticed that some websites such as the Washington Post and Fidelity can take minutes rather than seconds to load. The problem doesn't seem to be with the sites themselves (because they load fine on Chrome) or with my hardware (because exactly the same thing happens on both of my computers). Has anyone else noticed this?

( I'm running Firefox 131.0.3 on Windows.)

I can no longer download pdf's (bills, statements,etc) Downloads come in with "name.pdf.part" When I delete ".part" then I can open file. If I don't change name it reverts to pdf.part extension. It's a pain renaming every download. Please help me, I don't want to switch to Chrome. Thanks!

I've never had this issue before, but as of this evening I am no longer able to Print Emails in Firefox. I can't print them to a physical printer nor save them as PDF. Once I select to print an email the "Preparing Preview" page loads, but then get stuck.

This happens even in Firefox Safe Mode.

This happens with any email client - happens with Gmail and with AOL email accounts.

I have no problems printing these same emails in Google Chrome browser.

In addition, if I follow Firefox's steps to "Clear saved print settings" the problem is solved for only a single printing before reverting to getting stuck again.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I have no idea how to get around this issue. I need to save multiple emails as PDF files and physically print them every day. This issue makes Firefox unusable to me.

Good day,

I've come across a problem afflicting literally only ONE website on all my browsing. The culprit is TCGPlayer and the problem is tabs just take forever to load in the background for some reason. It is the ONLY website I have this issue with. Does anyone have any workarounds for this?

On my previous PC I turned off one of my adblocks and it stopped. I've tried it again on this new one and still no dice. The ones I have are ublock Origin, adlblock ultimate and adguard adblocker mainly cause Youtube always finds a new way to try and bypass one of them.

Thanks in advance

I just recently acquired a iMac computer from my brother. But, when I try to log into my twitter account I keep getting a authentication notice. When I successfully complete the authentication I get the message "something went wrong try again later". When try again later I just keep getting the same error message? And then after awhile, I get the message "I tried to many times". This issue has been going on now for over a week. I can't seem to get a hold of twitter for help. I tried to create a new account, but twitter won't allow that either?? So, I'm wondering with the new and different computer I'm now using, Apple iMac, is Firefox somehow the issue with Twitter? Sure would appreciate some help. Thank you.

Hi, whenever i open the instagram web's reels tab and start scrolling down a bit the audio breaks down, crackling/buzzing. ive contacted razer's support and then i tried the website on 2 different websites and it worked fine there and razer support told me that the issue isnt with my device but with mozilla. i thought it was because of my headphones at first as i tried it on 2 different computer, one being a desktop and other being laptop and only when i use instagram web's reels tab on mozilla. once i use it every other audio breaks down too including games/other browsers etc. . i tried to contact with meta support too but comes out they dont offer a support to those who dont have paid subscription and the issue only happens on mozilla firefox application

Good day, Last update of Firefox "131.0.2", I faced an issue mentioned in the attached below. Lines of text or numbers are overlayed over each other. I downgraded to Firefox "128.3.1esr" and the problem is resolved. Now I'm staying on the older version till the issue is resolved. Please keep me posted and let me know if there is anything to do by my side. Thanks in advance. Rani Email removed for privacy
