HELP !!! I received an error notification "platform not compatible" . I reinstalled browser as recommended I lost all history , bookmarks and passwords. How can I recover lost information ?????? Please Help !!

On some sites, not nearly all of them, I can click a link and it'll spin the circle in the tab for about one or two minutes before acting like I never clicked it. If I click it again after it spins, most the time it'll load immediately. And then there's periods of time where every link I click loads immediately.

I mostly have this problem on archiveofourown.org but I've noticed it on other sites.

Firefox version 132.0.1 Thunderbird version 128.4.0esr O/S: PCLinuxOS Debian Edition (Debian 12 Bookworm) with KDE 5

I am getting a "Click" sound effect when I click Menu Bar items in both Firefox and Thunderbird, Bookmarks in Firefox, Folders in Thunderbird and some other items in both. I can not find a way to turn it off. It does not happen in any other applications, including other web browsers that are forked from Firefox, so I think it is a Mozilla problem.

This is a relatively new installation that was set up copying settings from Firefox on Windows 10 using Firefox Sync. I did not copy anything from Windows Thunderbird because my email is IMAP which brings in everything from the server. I am not getting this clicking sound in Windows Firefox and Thunderbird.

I am GUESSING that the sound effect is due to an Accessibility setting that is buried somewhere, maybe in one of the text-based "about...." configuration files, but I don't know where to look. I have gone through the Linux KDE System Settings and the Settings in Firefox and Thunderbird several times trying to find it. I will note that I set up Firefox and Thunderbird in the same Linux distro on a laptop also using Firefox Sync and do not have this problem with the laptop. Can anyone tell me where to look to get rid of this irritating noise?

Thank You!

I use Firefox as my primary browser. I have always been able to sign in with Google Nest without any problem. I always entered my user name and then my password and I would be logged into my Nest account.

But now I click on my Google account (https://home.nest.com/login/) and then I click on Nest/Sign in/Sign in with Google. Then I just loop around between the two Google pages.

This started a few days ago. I can't figure it out so now I use Chrome or Safari. But I'd much rather use Firefox. Any ideas? Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks, John

I'm having trouble with the current file Explorer being overlayed with a old file Explorer and a comment 'firefox symbol and word "file upload". This is happening while I'm trying to insert a document file into a online web page for a doctor. When I click the insert button on page that is when the Explorer is failing as noted above. Can someone help (send me a message on my e-mail *Email removed for privacy*@gmail.com if you can help/or update the help screen) Thanks Perry

I have the same problems as several others. Bought a new computer and cant get download helper to pin to pin to the toolbar. Have tried hitting the puzzle piece and finding the tab after that for extensions but still cant find how to pin it as it does not give me that option.

https//www.modelprices.com is a pricing database for models, trains cars etc. It does not require passwords. Yet Firefox in a recent update has now deemed it insecure and I cannot see how to fix this, despite clicking on the task bar padlock item and looking at the drop down items. This is most annoying. Can you please assist? Thank you.

i am trying to download files but they keep stopping the loading and i have to re download them because the option of retry is not available now i try again it says i cannot perform the download because it exceeds but i cannot wait because firefox was the only browser could download the files because google does not even tell it's zipping the file please i need a solutiion and quick

So I can open up Youtube no problem, scroll around and even hover over a video for the preview. However the moment I click on a video the tab will crash. I check if this was the case for other video streaming sites. HBO Max has the same issue while Amazon prime doesn't crash however has a message saying there is a problem with the video player. Now I checked if videos can work on another browser (Microsoft Edge), and there are no issues. I have cleared the cache, disabled extensions, checked for updates [update to date: 132.0.1 (64-bit)], restarted Firefox from troubleshooting mode, enabled autoplay, checked if videos work in private mode, updated my graphics card driver, and even checked if Firefox's volume is muted (its not).

Hi, i wanted to see a Movie on WOW TV but only have a blank Window in my Browser. This Problem is only with WOW TV. Amazon Prime and Netflix Stream works perfect. The Support from WOW TV has no solution for me. They only have one hint for me to use Chrome or Edge.

Regards Peter

Does the Mozilla VPN have an easy to use "on" "off" switch? I want better access to streaming services

But I also want to browse and easily log in to banking, health, and financial sites where i have accounts that are protected by recognizing my current IP address to allow me access to my accounts.

From reading information about the numerous VPN providers, it seems like having a VPN might make it difficult to log in to financial, medical record sites etc.

Hello there. Over the past few days iv had some problems while using twitch.tv . Im not able to use the chat because it says "failed to load module" .

At first i assumed this was twitch, so i tried chrome but its fine completely fine, there's no failed to load module error

I then deleted my cookies and cache but the error still persists. Its also fine when using the private/incognito mode.

Im on the latest version as well

Since the last Firefox update I can login in my outlook email-program, but after login the screen remains blank. In my banking account I can do transfers, but if I want to download a receipt (what earlier always was function properly) the screen remains blank.

WSJ did some sort of update and now things are broken in the regula browser. I've tried disabling all my extensions, putting multiple sites on the cookies exceptions list and turning off protection in regular mode and it does not work. Private Browsing works out of the box no issues.

The main way to know if you have issues is do you see the stock ticker near the top of the webpage, your name with account info, and some drop down windows. The Live Update sub-websites are broken. I think WSJ on some sites like those thinks I'm not logged in or can't verify I'm logged in.

Its weird. I've had similar things on FireFox before, what is regular mode doing? Why does Private browsing work? Can I somehow "force" the same settings in a regular windows on a per Website basis? This doesn't seem possible at this point.

Hi! I'm running Linux Mint right now, but this also happened on Windows, I copied the profile from Windows so I suspect that is likely why.

When I go to about:logins, I see none of the accounts listed. Even when I input a search in the search box, nothing. I don't know what could be causing this. See attached screenshots. Don't worry, there's no concern of leaking account details, because they aren't showing up.

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048
