Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

Hi all,

I'm using Firefox 125.0 (64-bit) on Fedora and for file downloads, I have the options "Ask whether to open or save files" and "Always ask you where to save files" enabled.

This basically works, Firefox opens a file selection dialog and I can select where I want to save my downloads - so far, so good.

The weird thing is, the default location that is shown in this dialog seems to change every time I download a file. I would expect to see the last download location as the default option, but that is not what happens.

When I check about:config, I can see the last used download path is saved as browser.download.lastDir perfectly fine, but it is not set as the default for the next download.

Is there a parameter I can set so this last path is used again?

Thanks,

M.

I am using Firefox 128.0 on Fedora 40. Whenever i am playing a youtube video its saying "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: YfAmDqxb_Y3iWVfB) Learn More" I have no issue with ad blocking add-ons because i have Youtube Premium, so hopefully that's not an issue. I have tried few solutions from the forum , which were :

1. Unchecking "Use hardware acceleration"  Under Performance tab in Firefox
2. Using firefox safe mode
3. Refreshing Firefox
4. Deleting my cache/history
5. Enabling "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc." in my addons

But still i am having the same issue, its been 2 days, I am unable to find an appropriate solution to this. Kindly help me regarding this.

The integrated webcam (IMC Networks Integrated Camera, according to lsusb) on my linux laptop does not work in firefox (v124). It works in desktop apps (eg webcamoid), and chromium. I've checked the permissions (about:preferences#privacy), and that is not the problem. about:support does not list the device in the input at all. I've tried using LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/libv4l1compat.so, but that has not helped. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had 5 accounts show up whenever I opened the email. In about the past 2 weeks 1 account stopped doing this. How can I get this account to do what it did and shoe up with the other 4 ???

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or me not using FF properly.

I want Firefox in general to ask me, which profile to use when started. So in the Profile-Manager, I removed the checkbox for "Use selected profile without asking as startup".

Now, I wanted to create a shortcut for a specific profile, so I tried running `firefox -P "myProfile"` or even `firefox -p "/path/to/myProfile"`. In both cases I get the window asking me which profile to use.

How can I select an elliptic curves ? I mean, a P-256 of a P-385. Is there a turnaround on linux Ubuntu OpenSSL to impose an elliptic curve in the communication with the servers without to let the choice to the server priority ?

Thanks

Well I am on the near end of Support for Windows 7 SP1 Pro here for Firefox 107.1, and very similar with me, instead of Stop Errors, I get complete Computer Freeze ups, and don't have Hardware Acceleration enabled on it, but I did some Evidence that the Freeze ups maybe due to too many Firefox processes running and apparently causing some issues of PID handling which is causing which I did a test and found out CSRSS.exe maybe having difficulty with the Multiple Firefox Processes in some versions of Windows 7, 8.1 & 10, last known problem was discovery of the Win32K. sys Lockdown Exploit which to some note is also Security Exploit.

Gracias por la atención prestada.

I have ordered some goods online and have been offered the option to track the goods. But I can't, because Firefox thinks the tracking page has a fake certificate.

I can go to the website of the delivery company and it has a box where I can enter the order number. This is ambiguous (more than one supplier uses the company) so it lists the two possibilities. I click on the right one and it is at this stage I get the fake certificate warning. I cannot bypass it, because trying to do so simply brings up the same warning.

I've been in touch with the suppliers. Their customer service desk can track the order with no problem. So where is the problem?

They say they can track it using Firefox on Windows, Android and Mac systems but have no Linux available. I only have two Linux systems here (Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04), running the latest Firefox on offer (128.0.2 64 bit), both of which throw up the fake certificate problem, but with slightly different certificate dates (within the last 5 weeks), older than the genuine cert. I have pdfs of both the genuine one and one of the fake ones as produced by Firefox.

This is not a show-stopper this time as I can track the order by phone and email, but there is clearly a problem somewhere, either with both the Firefox versions I have or with the certification verification process.

If it's a Firefox issue, I don't know how to let them know.

I am running Linux Mint 19 and when I tried to activate the container extension some options were not selectable and a msg appeared at the top of my settings: "Your browser is being managed by your organization" I am a home user and never had anything to do with any corporate PC. The policy it lists is: disableappupdate true. Everything I see in the help database for this pblm pertains to Windows. As I said above I am running linux mint.

what is going on here???

Pages are loading very slowly and jumping around a lot. With each FFox update and Linux update, the behavior is getting worse and the browser and desktop sometimes lock up on some sites.

I'm wondering if there's a setting that prevents web sites from loading 'by parts', or that continue loading well after they seemed to stop. A setting that is more 'static'?

Is there a setting that says "computer" and stops web sites acting like my browser is a cell phone or a TV?

Is there a way to stop sites from 'pushing'?

The Internet is being split into three: networked television, cell phones, and computers. They apparently cannot coexist and I'm somewhat amazed that anyone would think that they could coexist.

Any advice will be appreciated --Mark.

A while back the behavior of the ctrl+shift+t shortcut changed from reopening tab in the current window to reopening tab in the current window or reopening last closed window which for me and a lot of other people too made it worse. There's been a thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1421356 but it's been archived without a real solution. Is there now a way like a about:config toggle to bring back the old functionality? I really miss the old behavior.
