Favicons seem to be a problem for Firefox, at least on Linux Operating Systems. On multiple distros favicons simply don't show, while they may on Windows. Not trying to dig, but shouldn't this be a pretty basic feature that's expected for a browser no matter what OS is used? Even searching at the forums here for favicons reveals 222 potential threads - one would think that the sheer volume of reports issued for them not functioning correctly would prompt a unified remediation effort. Don't get me wrong, I love Firefox - have used it for decades now across a multitude of OS's - and favicons always used to display properly. Googling this issue will reveal several recommendations of 3rd party addons and tweaks. Can we make favicons just work (again?)

Hi there - I cannot connect to internet wifi (?) and it has the symbol with the exclamation mark. I am currently connecting to my mobile to use the internet.

Hi! I'm developing a web extension. I managed to install it via about:debugging "temporary extensions", and I can see the extension icon under the "puzzle button" in the toolbar.

I now want to pin it to the toolbar, it will save me a click when I'm trying to test things live.

When I click the puzzle button, there is no "pin to toolbar" option for the temporary extension, although I can see it for the extensions installed from the marketplace.

Is there a way to allow pinning for the extensions installed for debugging? Maybe an option in "about:config"?

Thank you!

In firefox when I click "save link as" the link does not change color like it used to be. I am using Firefox version 115.15Oesr because I still use an old computer with windows 7 pro 64 bit.

Dear Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to bring to your attention an unusual issue I have been experiencing with the Firefox browser. Each time I close Firefox, I am required to log in again to the "Bale" messenger upon reopening the browser, as my login credentials are not retained for future sessions.

I would like to highlight the following points for your consideration:

1. This issue is specific to the Bale messenger and does not occur on other websites. 2. The problem persists across all of my devices, including my work computer, home PC, and laptop. 3. The issue does not arise when I am not logged into my Firefox account. In fact, Bale messenger works perfectly on my friends' Firefox browsers, where there is no need for repeated logins after closing the browser.

4. I have already reviewed the "Cookies and Site Data" settings (see the attached image).

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, Mostafa

I try to access Summiteducation.com and when I click "Access course" an insecure connection warning comes up and I can't access. Can you help me? asap?Can you call me? Thanks for your help! Sincerely Lena

When I try to upload a file with Firefox to a site (IO Groups) using HTTPS, almost every time the upload fails after about 65 seconds. I just tried MS Edge and found the files upload fine, even if they last 10 minutes or more. Is there a Firefox setting I can change to prevent this timeout?

More: I am using Windows Firefox v130.0, but this has been going on for months, so it's not just a problem with v130. I have timed the uploads as best I can, and it is always around 65 seconds, give or take a second or two. Less than 60 seconds means the uploads always succeed.

Hello, I can't restore my Firefox bookmarks, I made the mistake to update my Firefox blindly, as always, but it ruined-erased all my bookmarks, where did my hard work ended?, if I ever fix my bookmarks I will never do another update. I'm 77 and not able to follow your instructions; I wished I could restore all my bookmarks, now I wish I knew how to get some back, even if I have to do it one by one! Why there is no chat tool? maybe that way you could guide me better? Have a heart, please?

so i updated firefox after 2 years of not updating it and now i have a annoyance to my eyes

before my update i would click on the search on the toolbar and either type out my search and hit enter or that i would just hit enter and go straight to google/ amazon/ blah blah what ever i had it set at the time.

after updating firefox i now have a annoying pop up that pulls up recent search in said search function of the toolbar. i have tried going into the options and every thing is turned off in the "search suggestions". i have looked into the about:config because after the update firefox started suggesting on my URL bar my recent viewed pages and bookmarks which always hated that function and had to turn it off again.

yet i cannot find a away to turn off the recent search. and sometimes it even tried to suggest places / recent events in the search toolbar.

also that clicking the search toolbar and just hitting enter no longer takes me directly to the search engine... it just does nothing now unless if i type something in.

any way of fixing this? or am i just going to have to jury rig using a old firefox again?

I am having an issue with my new OLED monitor and GPU where Firefox is not able to correctly display the color of icons and various other sites and images correctly. I know this issue is directly related to firefox because every other browser and game or anything I use works perfectly in terms of color accuracy. Firefox is unable to be fixed. I have already tried changing the color settings within firefox many times and that has not helped. I have also already tried refreshing Firefox, completely uninstalling and reinstalling firefox among other things. So far there seems to be no fix. I have tried restarting my computer as well. The issue is persistent. I have attached an image of what it looks like compared to a reference of what it should be like.

For some reason, about a week ago, Firefox started lagging BADLY when saving any file. It will take like 20 seconds to load the "save as" popup and then, once saved and it closes, takes another 5 seconds to regain control and not make the error sound when I click.

Firefox loads quickly on every other aspect. And I have a beast of a laptop. It has an Intel Core i9 13th Gen 13900HX, 64GB of DDR5/6 RAM and a Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop graphics chip. It also has Windows 11 Home. So it SHOULDN'T be this laggy. And I refreshed Firefox multiple times and even reinstalled it. NOTHING!

And, while I'm personally not complaining about the icons in the bar looking like they're from Windows 7 or something, I wonder if it's connected? Regardless, I NEED this fixed as it's damn near unusable for me. I'm in college for video game development, so things like this are the last thing I want to deal with...

SINCE FIREFOX IS MY BROWSER, HOW DO I PREVENT CERTAIN GAMES FROM TAKING CONTROL OF MY MOUSE ? I HATE IT WHEN THEY SLOW MY MOUSE DOWN OR WON'T LET ME MOVE,SOMETIMES IT CAUSES ME TO LOSE THE GAMES, VERY FRUSTRATING

ages ago FF posted an update on my desk top. I've installed it dozens of times and dismissed it many times that much but it is still stuck on my desktop. How do O cleaned this up?

Hello, I use NextDNS for DNS over HTTPS in Firefox and I have set it up accordingly. Every so often Firefox will randomly revert back to using Quad9 instead of NextDNS without any intervention from me and I then have to go back in and set up NextDNS again which is quite frustrating, does anyone know why this might be happening?

I think Firefox used to be the best browser on the planet. However lately: Firefox has been randomly shutting down. Usually while I'm typing a comment or a reply to some comment.

Just tonight, I tried to buy a box of Bibles from the Gideons International, and when I clicked the Place Order button, nothing happened. I started the crappy Chrome browser, went to the Gideon website and created an order. When I clicked Place Order, it 'thought' for a few seconds and then said "Order Complete".

Quite often, when I click on a link, I receive a message telling me Firefox cannot connect to that site. Again, if I use Chrome, or even Brave, the link goes right through.

Months ago, I never had these problems. Are you people in the business of screwing up the best browser ever invented? Put Firefox back like it was when it worked.

I am unable to see anything on X / twitter. Windows 11. This is a continual problem with my laptop and my desktop (Windows 10). I have Firefox set on Standard tracking, and have added x.com and twitter.com as exceptions. Please fix this so that I can access my x.com account.

Recently I found I can't view video clips on MSN, white rotating circle around Play button. U tube videos are no problem. I can view video clips on Safari, but Firefox is my preference. I have an Imac running Sonoma 14.6.1
