Firefox-Hilfeforum

Every day when I go to work with my laptop which has Fedora 36 installed, I open up Firefox in order to fill the "IT Checklist" where I need to visit a couple of local intranet websites in order to fill upbound threshold and inbound threshold.

I see weird Firefox behavior when it comes to, "Firefox remembering past logins". Let's say, I went to a website that has a URL like 20.200.30.200, and a password 1234.

Every time I try to log in to this website, Firefox asks if I want to update my password !! Something which I don't understand. Neither I am changing the password, nor I have written a different password to update with.

Every time Firefox try to update the password of this website with a random long string of character, which is out of my mind. I have to be careful each time and press "Don't Update" option.

On a normal website (let's say Facebook.com) there is no such problem. But when it comes to a local website, Firefox behaves very differently.

There is another website called 20.0.20.1. Its username is root and the password is 4321. But when I try to login in, only the password section is auto-filled, the username section needs to manually be written. Even though about:logins see both domains saving their respective username and password, when it comes to serving users, it sucks misbehave a lot.

Clearly, there is a fundamental problem in Firefox when it comes to handling how logins are saved and served to the user.

I really hope that Firefox 109 fixes this issue and handles the local website properly.

Suddenly today my browser had switched any current tab to the bottom of my window, but it also only lets me see one at a time..which means I can't see multiple tabs open unless I close the current one. My tab bar is gone entirely and was up-top as it's always been, just under the URL box.

I didn't hit any key combos that I know of that would cause this, and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem when I search for a solution. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? It's very odd and annoying, I've never had it happen before now..

I took a screen-shot of the problem, showing what happens when I open a site or any tab:

Thank you very much for taking a look and any help with this strange issue,

Which files/folders in .mozilla could I safely exclude from backups? My goal is to reduce clutter in my backup logs. For example, most of my backup logs are entries of things in "storage" and "weave". If this will regenerate should I have to restore, I would rather exclude it.

Hi,

I'm also having trouble with the browser: when I left my desk this morning for a 1/2 hour and came back, the history showed places I had not visited nor would I. Have you seen that before? Nancy

Hi, all just a question. The account is supposed to very very old. But since i logged in nothing has been there. I am taking nothing. So you help that be great. Thanks.

Firefox on Win10 has lost all of my logins. I tried launching a new profile, but no good. In the settings "logins.json" has become "logins.json.corrupt" and renaming it does nothing. The Firefox on my two android devices still have the logins intact is there a way to send them to the Windows version?

Is there a way that I can recover my New Tab page setup (just the new tab page) from a Macrium Reflect backup of my OS disk? I recently did some cleanup that cratered my FireFox profile (developer and beta also). I would like to somehow recover just the New Tab page setup from the os backup. Any solution? Thanks for your help.

The Update to 108.0.1 succeeded, but the partial process for "sync" still shows as partway. Must've clicked that item by mistake, and then killed it after seeing the scope--since I don't use a smartphone., etc., anyway!

We should be cautioned that this 108.0.1 upgrade is a complicated one. At midnight I just wanted to do a SIMPLE update (release notes listed just one item), shut it off and hit the sack --not be swamped with all the myriad new choices and features to learm! --as I now see.

Witam, Wykonałem eksport danych logowania z kompa (plik csv) i chciałem zaimportować na lapka. jak to zrobić?. Jedyne co to mi się wyświetla import danych z innej przeglądarki. Przeglądarka Firefox 108.0.1 Z góry dziękuje za pomoc Pozdrawiam

The bookmarks menu sidebar disappears shortly after opening Firefox on its own after update to 108.0.1 and needs to be re-opened manually, why is this and is there a solution?

I have a PDF file which is 2.7MB. When opening it through the browser, and sending it to printing, it sends a 49.6MB document! This whole time, the browser lags, is very slow, and it takes around a whole minute to process this task!

OS: Windows 10 Browser: Firefox 108.0.1 (64b)

Please help me with this. Thank you.

Hello!

I have researched this topic and can't seem to find a good solution. Here's the issue. Out of nowhere, all of my Firefox web pages went from white to black. I have tried adjusting settings, themes, add-ins, and they are still black.

Please let me know if you have a solution that can help!

Many thanks!!! SDJ

When I close Firefox and open it again the cookie deletion exception list is empty. The issue happens on my macOS/Linux/Windows installations.

I am using custom settings for the history. I setup Firefox to delete the history when I close it but I selected only Cookie, Cache and Offline websites data. All the other options (i.e. website settings) are unchecked.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
