I am trying to understand how password less authentication with a FIDO2 security token works in Firefox over BLE transport.

Firefox uses authenticator-rs as Webauthn library which only supports USB-HID transport.

I am able to use a BLE security token to login to my google account however. How does that work if Firefox does not support that transport protocol?

Any help or direction to documentation on this topic is appreciated. So far I was not able to find an explanation for this online.

Does somebody know how to disable firefox to start in the last used workspace? I use Firefox under Linux in a Window Manager and defined a rule that should put firefox in a specific workspace but in this case firefox remembers its last used workspace and does not 'obey' the set rule...

if anything i can provide to help troubleshoot, pls tell me.

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.

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.

I open PDF from my files system or an app (Zotero f.e.). I make annotations since the annotation tools in Firefox are nice. Just a few highlights, maybe comment, underlines, whatever. I want to save the file and quit Firefox.

BUT - Firefox doesn't automatically save the opened file but rather wants me to "save as" a new file to be downloaded and chosen to be saved somewhere specificaly. I cannot just "save", I have to "save as" like I would download or create a new file.

I don't want to create new downloaded file to save somewhere else. I want to save annotations and such changes directly to the original file so I can just hop in and out of the file when I want to continue reading or edit annotations f.e..

MS Edge let's you save the changes to the file right to the original file so you can just hit "save" (ctrl+s) and close the window.

Hopefuly my question for clarification is somewhat understandable.

Thank you for your time

Hi, guys! This is driving me crazy! PLEASE, HELP!

Here, both Google Docs and .pdf files (from any site) keep jumping pages while I'm reading.

For example, from page 2, it goes to 9, then I scroll back up and it's on 15, etc.

I've already tried deleting all cookies, clearing the cache, completely uninstalling Firefox from my PC, but it always happens. I'm having this issue for weeks.

I tried uninstalling extensions, but I can't solve it. It's a nightmare.

ps: I'm Pop OS user (linux based on ubuntu)

I have the same problem as described here [1]: when I open a markdown file in Firefox it uses itself as handler opening it in a new tab, which in turn opens it in a new tab, ... The solution suggested under [1] is how to make Firefox usable again, stopping it from open this particular markdown file. But it doesn't solve the actual problem: either Firefox is capable of rendering markdown in which case it should do it; or it's not in which case it shouldn't try. Does anyone have a thought on that?

Hi

When a site sends a Web Push Notification to my browser, it flashes up at the top of the screen for 2 or 3 seconds and then is gone. Sometimes I'm busy with something else and once I see it, it's gone, or I just catch the first word or two.

How can I display the Web Push Notification again?

I'm running Firefox on Fedora Linux, if that matters.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am working on a website- one page uses websockets for data sync, activated with a button - and the socket takes a long time to actually connect (to locahost). During that time, an error pops into console- several of the same:

The connection to [url] was interrupted while the page was loading.

I found several bug reports in various places - most say to close the socket on page unload. I already have that implemented, and checking network dev tab shows all sockets are closed when the errors occur, and they also appear when tested in a whole new window. Also tested on chromium- no issues there.

Any help?

Can't import ".p12" certificate in Firefox in Fedora 40, it fail with the message "unknown error". I can open it with the built-in tools as well with the Gnome certificate manager. I did try as well a different certificate with the same result. Both I can import in Chromium, installed as Flatpak.

Why I can't login to outlook.office.com (Microsoft 365) with passkeys when I use Firefox (newest 128) in Linux? It doesn't offer me to use passkeys to login when I go there.

I can login with passkeys in Firefox when I use Windows 11 or Google Chrome in Linux.

I can install firefox in a 20.04 ubuntu image however I can't get the sound to come out to the host. I think it is because of these messages: oot@lnx01:/# firefox libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. [Child 8724, MediaDecoderStateMachine #1] WARNING: 7fdc1c636ee0 OpenCubeb() failed to init cubeb: file /build/firefox-kPTBHF/firefox-128.0+build2/dom/media/AudioStream.cpp:285

I am using the tainted nvidia driver on my host. Has anyone got this to work? I messed around by adding various mesa drivers to the image with no fix. Any suggestions? I am using the ppa version of firefox in the container.

This is super frustrating. How to use Firefox for development purposes? There should be an option to add exceptions. I even went to settings and added an exception manually to no avail.

I'm going often through pain to use firefox for everything but then there must be a reasonable way to achieve the goals.

Please tell me there is a way to workaround this easily without compromising security of other sites that are being visited.

P.S. I can open same site with adding an exception on chrome.

Related question but with an answer that doesn't make sense in my case: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1324365

Entering the IP "https://172.16.0.1/" on my firefox browser's address bar brings me to google searching for the text. This is despite this IP being responsive on chrome. What's going on here? How to I tell firefox to connect to this IP instead of searching for it?

I use my laptop with a connected AOC ultrawide monitor as primary screen and I don’t mirror laptop screen. My system is running KDE NEON, everything updated. I have an issue when watching video in Firefox. As long as I’m watching a video on a website it works fine, but when I change the video to fullscreen the monitor just show a black screen without turning off. I tried to activate the laptop screen and it show the video I’m running in fullscreen, which should run on external monitor. So my question is, why does Firefox move the fullscreen video to the laptop screen when I don´t mirror the laptop screen to the primary screen? Hope someone can help me out.
