Goodmorning, I'm trying to make a backup of my bookmarks on my desktop in order to transfer this to my laptop, but it doesn't work. I also tried to make an export file which doesn't go either. The reason why I want these files is that the laptop (that had not been used for a couple of weeks) synchronized my desktop bookmarks with older data. So I put the correct data back in Firefox of the desktop and that worked fine. Now I want the same data in my laptop but I can´t make a suitable file. What more can I do?

Sling tv streaming warns that other browsers except Chrome, Edge, or Safari may be problematic when using their service. I updated Firefox and then attempted to access Sling, video was fine but no audio or at best audio was intermittent. Both Chrome and Safari are working fine, but I would much rather use Firefox for all my browsing ! Are there any plans to create a fix for this?

Firefox 109.0 for macOS introduced an intentional bug that disables the popular highly useful zoom in/out using cmd+mouse wheel. Mozilla claims that this engineered bug "avoids accidental zooming and matches the behavior of other web browsers on macOS." However, it causes severe trouble for productivity users and the large user community who use a mouse and keyboard.

Could you please let me know how the highly popular and practical zoom in/out using cmd+mouse wheel could be re-enabled in Firefox 109.0?

Also, I would like to ask Mozilla to respect user decisions and let them choose whether they prefer to disable Ctrl or Cmd + trackpad or mouse wheel (scrolls the page instead of zooming) or use it.

Thanks

Hi there,

I have a laptop running Windows 10, plus the latest version of Firefox. The laptop has a built-in webcam. I have also connected an external webcam via USB. This second camera is better quality and preferred, I visit a web site. When I first activate the camera, I am presented with a dropdown of available cameras. The USB camera appears in the list. All is fine. I instruct Firefox to "allow" this camera to be used. (first image) However, after a short time, less than a second, the same dialog is shown again, this time without the USB camera. (second image) There have been no actual hardware changes. I can then click "allow" again and the *integrated* camera works, i.e. not the desired camera. So, two questions, really. First, what just happened? Did Firefox try to control the USB camera, find that it couldn't, and redisplay the dialog showing only the "controllable" option? Second, my desired endpoint here is for the web site to use the USB camera. How do I achieve this? I can easily do this with Chrome but I like Firefox. TIA.

I love the containers and have been using it for a long time already, but one thing that I couldn't find a solution is to have two URL's within the same domain to "always open" in different containers.

I do have other examples, but the basic ones is github and azure devops.

I have my own place and my company one, they have the same domain but different logins (GitHub not quite, but it has a second authentication on top of it for the enterprise one), basically it happens like that:

Company: https://dev.azure.com/CompanyName Persona: https://dev.azure.com/Mine

When I set to always open in a container for each of them, both goes to the same container, which is annoying because I have a different login for each of them, for GitHub is kinda similar, I do use my personal github account for my companies one as well, but for my companies organization there is AAD integration and so I need to have it authentication with the AAD on top of my regular login, and "my companies container" is the only one already authenticated there.

I mistakenly exited the left side bookmark sidebar. I would like to return it to the default setting, but have not been able to find instructions to do so or find a way to do it through the given menus.

Why does the Firefox window collapse when it sees a typo? Specifically, typing 'te' for 'the' causes the window to collapse. I see this mostly on Facebook, but it apparently isn't their shortcoming.

Hello running fire fox on linux mint 21. When i print anything from browser says printing and then print complete but nothing comes out of printer. All other browsers will work except fire fox. how can this be fixed. thanks

CSP strikes again,

This morning I was trying to look at archive.org and the website wouldn't load and just show a blank white page (not my blank page theme which is dark)

I tried refreshing a few times, and it didn't work, then I opened developer tools and noticed every resource from website is blocked by CSP. I know probably this is a wrong configuration from archive.org developers causing the page to not load.

GET archive.org HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2023 03:36:25 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive vary: Accept-Encoding content-security-policy: base-uri 'self'; default-src *; img-src *; object-src 'none'; script-src https://archive.org/offshoot_assets/ https://*.archive.org/offshoot_assets/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/offshoot_assets/ https://archive.org/includes/ https://*.archive.org/includes/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/includes/ https://archive.org/components/ https://*.archive.org/components/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/components/ https://archive.org/jw/ https://*.archive.org/jw/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/jw/ https://av.prod.archive.org/js/ https://esm.archive.org/ https://polyfill.archive.org/v3/polyfill.min.js 'sha256-CoX53XgCdkM1zegYEEpMUeYIZnv663inNm8bQv2VRbM='; style-src 'unsafe-inline' https://archive.org/ https://*.archive.org/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/; Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15724800 Expires: Tue, 18 Jul 2023 03:51:25 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=900 Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade X-Content-Encoding-Over-Network: gzip

from start CSP bring nothing for me other than trouble. In fact I had so much trouble with it, that when a website doesn't load or loads incomplete, I immediately hit F12 to see if anything is blocked by CSP.

I know some very knowledgeable people will come and tell me you will die instantly or will turn to stone if you disable CSP, but I'm readly fed up with this thing that is controled by a header that can be changed with a proxy or even extension which then controls how browser will load a website. just the same way that some web developers use User-agent and HTTP-Referer as a security measure in their website.

I was able to disable CSP in firefox 98 and browse the website. but can't do it with firefox 100 and above (109 currently)

I tried removing the CSP header with extension, but I can remove any header I want but not CSP

Apparently someone in firefox team is obsessed with removing user modifiable features and making it harder and harder everyday to achieve the same functionality (e.g. renaming about:config settings, disabling or removing them) or in other words, pushing their will on their end users on how they should use their browser.

I'm a software developer, I can recompile firefox, and I want CSP and in fact any behavior that relies on a HTTP-header to be gone, but I'm really busy with my own work. and don't have time to read through entire code of the firefox.

I would like to ask if someone can direct me to the part of mozilla code that contains CSP so I can remove it and compile the thing again so I have a browser that doesn't block me from what I like to do.

My Unsorted Bookmarks folder was mistakenly moved to the Tool Bar Menu and when I tried to move it BACK to the sidebar...everything went SOUTH. Now under 'Other Bookmarks' the Unsorted Bookmarks shows as a sub-folder but does not open. I've read 100 ways to find and/or fix this but nothing works. PLEASE...some help ASAP. ALSO I DO have a backup on my in a desktop folder but it didn't IMPORT.

yahoo mail does not work, but does on Chrome. Also works on Firefox "private." I'm using Firefox 109.0. Yahoo Mail worked until a couple of days ago, but is unresponsive now. What to do?

I either need to get it fixed right away, or move to Chrome as my default browser. Please help.

When I attempt to login to different sites, I am unable to select my saved logins from the drop down box. When I click on the login username box, the login flashes and does not allow me to select my saved username and password. So far, I have tried restarting my computer and unchecking and checking the auto fill option in settings. Please help!!!

Prior to the most recent Firefox update (109.0), I was able to sign on to my account on the Wells Fargo website. https://www.wellsfargo.com/ Now after updating, Firefox is not allowing a sign on. Other browsers work fine.

As I belong to no organization, I find this disturbing. Some of the settings being "managed" for me are not as I want them. How do I get access to them? FWIW. I am using Firefox in Linux Mint. Thank you for your help.

Dear Mozilla-Community,

I want to change the email address (from @gmx.de to @t-online.de), which I use to login into my Firefox-Account.

To do this I tried to add a second email address, to change the primary and the secondary one after this. The problem is, that I cannot add the second email address, because the calidation code is delivered 1 hour delayed, but it have to get entered within 5 minutes. I also tried to register a new account. There is nothing in the SPAM-Folder and in the settings of t-online I deactivated the automatic deletion of possible SPAM-Mails. If I try to add another email address with the domain @gmx.de or @gmail.com the verification code is delivered within seconds.

Which possibility do I have to register this @t-online.de email address?

Thanks and best wishes, Oliver

Regarding the sponsored ads in the new tab screen, the help link states, "Mozilla is paid when users click on sponsored shortcuts."

I just wanted to know if Mozilla is paid for each click or for each unique click. If I click it 100 times on the same computer, does Mozilla get more income than if I were to only click it once?

I recently transferred to Linux operating system, and when I login to firefox, and press sync, my saved logins aren't there. I've tried to log out then log back in, restarted the app several times, but won't show anything!

Before I transferred to Linux I was using Windows, and I made sure that the sync worked before transferring, so I tested the sync on a portable version of Firefox, and I was successful in syncing my saved logins.

But now it doesn't work, and I cannot see any of my passwords or logins, there is only 1 saved login which is locally stored, which was there before I logged into my account on Firefox.

I'm not able to any DRM content on my Firefox. It's playing properly on Chrome as well as Prime Video apps on my Windows. I tried submitting crash reports from my account.

I tried reading Get help section, but most of the doubts were on MacOS.

Windows specification Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎29/‎9/‎2022 OS build 22621.1105 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0

It has been happening with the latest update for last 1 month. It was working earlier as expected.

I'm using Firefox Version 109.0.1 (64-bit)

I've already tried reinstalling Firefox on my Windows, but It didn't work.

For a couple of week, my firefox browsing history always clean itself up either when I close and shutdown my computer or while I still browsing. This is really frustrated because I have to always search again and again. I have deleted every firefox sync account of my phone and tablet and the only account that still I use is in my pc. Can anybody help me?
