Firefox-Hilfeforum

to upgrade my firefox browser from 32 bit to 64 bit, I was following the mozilla instructions to download the 64 bit version, but then uninstall the 32 bit version before installing the 64 bit version. However, using the microsoft store to obtain the 64 bit version, it didn't just download it, it installed the 64 bit version. Now I have both. Should I merely remove 32 bit, and my profile file will be accessed to complete the set up of the 64 bit version? Don't want to loose bookmarks, passwords, etc. by removing 32 bit version.

Hi I have been using Firefox for years and have been using Gmail within Firefox for years also. The problem which started today is that when I went to open an email within Gmail the only thing I got was the title of the email. There was no message inside the email. If I try and forward the email, the message appears but only with the box to forward the email.

Here is a list of things I tried.

Restarted Firefox (no change Gmail not working properly) Restarted computer (no change Gmail not working properly) Looked up solutions online and did updates to Ad Block (no change Gmail not working properly) Disabled Adblock and uBlock (no change Gmail not working properly)

I can go into Gmail properly on my phone, through Chrome and through the Brave browser and it works fine. Firefox is my main browser and I really don’t want another browser to be open all the time just to access Gmail.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hi I wanted to have 2 options for the location of new tabs. 1. At end. 2. Next to adjacent tab.

This is at the same point in time. I know of the setting browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent in about:config.

I couldn't find an addon to do this.

Could it be possible to have a typical setting for new tab at end, and then a shortcut for new tab next to adjacent?

Hello,

When I try to log in to my one of my bank's secure website, firefox is not connecting. I can connect with chrome and edge. Firefox does connect with other bank and investment accounts websites. I am having the problem with this particular site. I had faced this problem with another website (non-banking, but secure), but it corrected itself in a few weeks.

I appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Since updating my firefox version this morning, 2/10,2022, I am getting the following error message when accessing and navigating the following websites: youtube, yahoo, ncbsports, etc.

XML PARING ERROR: UNDEFINED ENTITY LOCATION: whatever website I am trying to access and navigate LINE 15, COLUMN 43:

I have restarted my computer and still get the error. All of my other computers, which have not be updated, are working fine. I am unable to reinstall the previous version since is not available to me.

Please help.

I use the firefox URL bar as a search bar, however recently when I use it this way, firefox automatically gives a notification asking "did you mean to go to http://example/?". I'm unsure if/how I can disable this, as I find it annoying and unnecessary.

History and addons have synced succesfully, but despite trying various things, bookmarks have not. I am unable to access the previous machine on which they originate because of a catastrophic failure. Any help?

I'm buying a new computer and I'm wondering is there a method/procedure that I can use to transfer the entire FF browser including settings, extensions, bookmarks, and passwords without having to reinstall all those items individually? I know I can save and import bookmarks but what about everything else? I look forward to anyone comments. Thanks

I have Dark Theme set to default but it doesn't work. When I enable it, it'll stop working when I close the option tab or move to a different settings menu. When I was looking for the cause, I found the handlers.json files in my Firefox Profiles folder were corrupt. In an older thread I found, it said that if the files are corrupt they need to be "regenerated" but doesn't say how to do so. Please help! How do I fix this so I can turn the Dark Theme back on?

Hello,

I'm trying to sort bookmark folders by date. I followed some threads on-line, but its not saving. Am I missing something?

I'm going to Manage Bookmarks (see screenshot) i'm able to select a folder and click Views and it defaulted to 'unsorted' I select Sort by Added and the latest bookmarks in this area sort by latest on the TOP first. Perfect!

I exit out check bookmarks and they are still sorted in the reverse... meaning latest bookmark is still at the bottom and my very first bookmark in this folder is at the top.

Maybe its not designed this way? if so I don't see the reason to go under Managed Bookmarks and sort by anything if its not going to save that way.

Moral of the story trying to sort by date added in any folder not name (which is only thing I see when right clicking on any folder). I want latest saved bookmarks sorted from TOP down not latest's starting at the bottom.

Thanks

My main screen and drop-down are stuck in a black background. I have changed the setting but they only work once I leave the home screen that shows in a new tab. How do I get it back to a white background?

I'm trying to create a DOS batch file to clear the current profile's cache (web site data only, not cookies). I have it working fine using a hard-coded path of the existing profile (I only have one profile), but I'd like it to remain viable in case a newer profile is created for whatever reason. Is there a way to retrieve the path into a variable?

Thank you!

Firefox started to open in a small screen at the top left of the monitor, requiring two clicks to make normal size. Some Google suggestions seemed very complex but I found a simple solution from one result. Left click the enlarge tab, then click and drag the screen to full size. Solved. Best to look for a simple solution first before refreshing Firefox or trying registry fixes.

Hello. First of all, I warn you that my English is very basic. I am having a issue with the browser since few months and I can't solve it. Every time I open Firefox it opens my last session. Also in sometimes it start with "Sorry, We're having trouble getting your pages back".

• I don't have enabled "Open previous windows and tabs" in the settings
• There's not any "user.js " file in my profile folder
• I have even uninstalled Firefox, delete all "mozilla" folders in my hard disk and run Ccleaner.
• And I don't find any solution in the internet at all. It keeps happening.

Any idea?

When joining a Zoom meeting hosted on the browser rather than installed Zoom app, my speakers are not working and the troubleshooting error messages says the browser is blocking zoom from accessing the speakers. I can't find a setting in Firefox preferences to block/allow it. Speakers work on YouTube/Vimeo with no problems (speaker volume 100% and not muted). Speakers had been working with Zoom until a couple weeks ago. I don't want to install the Zoom app just because Google hates privacy and and I don't want to help them own my privacy anymore than I must. I use DuckDuckGo for the default search engine, have Ghostery for an Extension/add-on, and have the Firefox browser set for private window always. I have tried various cookie settings for the Zoom meetings and even the dreaded "accept all cookies" and have Firefox cookie handling set to Standard, with deleting all cookies and history upon exit. I am on 64-bit Windows 10 up to date as of 2/16/22, Dell computer updated to same date, and latest update of Firefox 2/18/22. I have done a number of web searches and not finding the speaker topic or error message other than three unanswered help requests from others with the same problem dated from July-Sept 2021.

My old Linux computer died and I have removed the still good SSD from it. I have installed the latest Firefox on my new computer and would like to restore the bookmarks and other saved data to the new computer.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, the old computer was on Ubuntu 18.04.

Can these things be restored, and if so what do I need to do?

I'm not sure this is a problem with Firefox but I have run out of other options to look at. At first I thought it might be because the page uses a frameset (I know it's obsolete) so I created a version that uses an iframe instead. That way the html that needs to be acted on is not in a frame. It still doesn't work. I don't know why it works in stackoverflow's sandbox and jsfiddle but not on my website. Any help is appreciated.

Frameset version iFrame version

If you need to see the tabstrip code (it's virtually identical to the iFrame version): Tabstrip for frameset version

The script is supposed to hilite the selected tab with a red background. The rollover works fine (yellow background and brown text) but the selected tab color never shows up.

Hello,

How do I disable or remove these autofill searches that I do not use that appear at the very top. They keep appearing such as searching up gamestop it goes to gamefaq first or searching maps to get google maps, it gives my local city website map instead.

These have become a nuisance as I never visit these sites.

Thanks!
