Firefox-Hilfeforum

I dont know why but all of a sudden when I turn my imac on I am having things start up and they never did before. So how do I keep Firefox from starting up when I turn imac on? I am getting really tired of having to shut off apps.

Firefox. LinuxMint 21.3 Cinnamon 6.0.4 , Google Mail Compose, Pressing and holding the arrow key moves the cursor one character at a time. Google Chrome works fine.

How do I delete, remove, or otherwise disable that garbage "review checker" from the latest firefox update. It's useless, un-needed thing that I don't trust.

option to OPT out REMOVE/DELETE or completely DISABLE!

how to permanently keep the warning about closing multiple tabs?

Every so often, probably due to an unseen update, when I press the red X at the top of of a page where multiple tabs are open, to see how many tabs are open, they disappear, and the preference option to not close multiple tabs without warning (which says the # of tabs open), has to be turned back on.

Despite having logged into Which? via FireFox, and accepted all cookies I am asked again and again on every Which? page about cookies.

How can I stop this?

Is this Which? or FF?

every time whe I download a rar file it is opened with winrar even the setting for the rar file extension is set to save and not open the file. Also some about:config settings I learned from some forums on the web do not help. I think this missbehaviour took place in the past after updating FF but I cannot remember which update it was. How can I configure FF to not open downloaded rar files with winrar (I want FF only to save the file)?

Firefox keep crashing when I use certain websites (realtor.com is one that comes to mind). I use a Macbook pro. I've updated my operating system, updated Firefox, and tried to use Firefox in troubleshooting mode. Everything is up to date, and the crashes still happen in troubleshooting mode. Here's the crash code: bp-80317ed2-74bc-4df1-a867-a6a130240322. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks a lot.

How do I add and keep the Gramerly extension in Firefox browser? I have added it many times but it often just disappears for some reason. I'm sure this happens just to piss me off, but perhaps there is a way I can get it going again. Please advise. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I was forced to reformat my computer today and I seem to have lost all of my passwords that were saved in Firefox.

I did not back up any of the files that were on my PC as I was unable to do so. I think I have been able to log back in my account and find my passwords.

When I logged back into my Firefox after re-installing it, my passwords are all gone. I need help!

Thank you all

My webite https://www.tanzaniabirds.net/alphabetical1.htm#gsc.tab=0 has an SSL certificate. The website shows as secure on Edge, Chrome and Safari but not on Firefox. The message on the Firefox secure symbol says parts of the page such as photos are not secure. This website is practically all photos taken by me and friends. What can be done to make it show as secure on Firefox? Thanks.

I recently bought new computer with Windows 11 Home Edition. Downloaded FIREFOX browser and migrated in my bookmarks, (which worked GREAT!!!!). Then I attempted to log into the Your Neighbourhood Credit Union (YNCU) website. I could enter my user name, password and security question but then I received a message, on their website: "The system is experiencing problems. Please try again later." (see attachment below). After working with YNCU staff for HOURS, it was suggested that I log in using "Microsoft EDGE" browser. My login was accepted in seconds - NO problems. Today I attempted to log into the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Again I was able to enter my user name, password and answer to my security question. The response I received was: "404 -- NOT FOUND From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1: 10,4.5 404 Not Found The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition it temporary or permanent. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address." I immediately attempted to log into the CRA website using "Microsoft EDGE" and was IMMEDIATELY granted access after entering security information. I REALLY LIKE using the FIREFOX browser - and detest using Microsoft EDGE, but unless this access issue is resolved I will be forced to use EDGE :(.

I am running Firefox. When I open the Task Manager, it shows that there are 13 Apps listed for Firefox with 1 for Runtime Broker. I have only 2 tabs open. Task manager shows that all together the Firefox apps are using only 0.4% of CPU, but are using 521.3MB of memory. When moving around the different apps I am using, the non Firefox apps are running more slowly due to the amount of memory used by all these Firefox accounts. I want to know what are these apps and why are they there when I have only the 2 tabs open?

Hello, Firefox keeps signing me out of Google websites like google.com and youtube.com when I close out the browser. I recently switched from Google Chrome and was wondering if this was a Google issue or if it was Firefox. It only keeps me signed out of Google accounts, and keeps me signed in for every other website. I have the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" box unchecked and it still keeps me logged out, and I have "cookied" unboxed in my Clear History settings as well. I'd like to have this issue fixed as soon as possible for school-related reasons.

When I put the address "https://store.google.com/product/fitbit_charge_6?hl=en-US&source=sh/x/srp/wr/m1/1&kgs=9049baa04a7bf560" into Firefox and hit return, I get no response. Literally nothing.

I keep getting this message did not connect:potential security issue. I went to my credit union and they find no problem with their website and I am able access my account on their computer. This just came up Friday

I have now changed the language of my Firefox Browser to English. And indeed the main menu is now in English. But when I click with the right mouse button on an empty space and then choose "Inspect" to access the expert settings these settings are still in the previous language and haven't changed to English. What can I do?

While this is a Privacy and Security setting issue - at least tangentially - my question isn't about security so much as how this data is being stored/retrieved.

I navigated to an entirely new site the other day and it requested a username and password. When the cursor was in the Username field, a set of proposed entries showed up. These were all (recognizable) first names - not emails. When I checked the Privacy and Security settings, I couldn't find any of the names in stored data. While this may be just cached entries for similar fields ("username" or "name" etc...), the list I saw was heavily curated. One of the names I don't ever recall even entering in any name field (and wouldn't have been used for any login) - but even if I had, the list that I saw was far from exhaustive and would only have been a very specific subset of any data I would have entered into any "name" or "username" field.

Is there somewhere I can find how that list was generated?

Thank you,
