Firefox-Hilfeforum

Very suddenly Firefox is no longer loading. The profile manager cannot be found, etc. I have read many suggestions, replaced the browser, nothing works. I suspect a competitor has found a way to cripple the browser. I have Mac OS 10.13.6 and have used Firefox for many years. This is a tragedy !!

Every time I try to use the search on Firefox I get a message that. We had temporary problems searching for web pages. I get this all the time and if it doesn't get fixed soon I will start using Microsoft Edge.

Looking at stories in Yahoo news and the heading picture is there but any images imbedded within the story are a blank. Right clicking on that blank location where the story pictures should be does not get a "properties" notation nor anything else. It's as if it has not downloaded at all. It's easy to eliminate any anti virus protections from interfering because it happens on all of my computers. My Windows 10 computers use Firefox 64 bit 88.0.1 and one uses Norton 360 anti virus and the other uses Trend Micro anti virus. My other computers are running on Linux Mint 20.1 and Firefox 86.0.1. The fact that two different OS's display the same trouble points straight to Firefox.

I have a Windows XP machine kept solely to run those applications that wont run under Windows 10, and there are several.

It has a hardware switch that removes access to my network and is only connected briefly to print to my network printer then disconnected as the default. It does allow access to the Internet but that is only ever to one particular site, nominally once per year.

One program requires a yearly update to an internal text file from its parent organization. Previously all I had to do was briefly connect to my network access that file from that organization using the Firefox version on the XP machine to download that file directly to the program that needs it.

I tried that this week May 2021 only to receive an error message from somewhere to "Try Internet Explorer".

I have a workaround solution involving my W10 machine and a thumb drive to transfer that 1K text file manually, but the process of direct transfer to the XP machine used to work, and is much more convenient.

What has changed, such that the Firefox version on the XP machine no longer works?

Ideas please.

Can I pull up my bookmarks saved on my laptop on other devices that has Mozilla. I updated my Browser on my PC and when I did I lost all my bookmarks. I have not updated the Browser on my laptop and I am beginning to have connection problems and I CANNOT lose my bookmarks.

I've seen some solutions that mentioned creating userChrome and userContent files but they were outdated and I think there should be simpler solution. A friend of mine has basic Firefox version and she said she has never met with such problem.

I've tried:

• Clearing cache and cookies
• Creating some Chrome files
• Disabling addons

I don't think it's Firefox Developer Edition's problem as the issue has been persistent for some time/updates now.

When I try to print something from google drive it launches the firefox (?) printer dialogue. The I click next, and get this screen requiring me to download it before going to the HP printer dialogue. Can I skip this part, the downloads get so full!

Good day. I use Firefox exclusively as my browser. I have a MacBook Air, with all updates in place.

I post to a university blog. Lately, the posted text is accompanied at the end with a long list of font instructions. These instructions do not show up in the copy, no matter which word processing program they're created on. (The text comes from various authors. I copy and paste.)

It's not a huge problem to solve--highlight and delete. Still, puzzling and annoying.

Today I tried a test posting of my own text (Word), using Firefox, and then using Safari.

The font instructions appeared using Firefox, and did not appear using Safari. I have to conclude that it's a Firefox artifact. Wrong? Right? You tell me, please.

Is there some instruction or direction or place to check a box that will make the font instructions not magically attach to my copy?

The font instructions do not appear when I post the same copy on Facebook, nor when I copy and paste any other document anywhere. For instance, they do not appear when I post photos to accompany text.

I would appreciate any light you can shed on this.

Most kind thanks.

it updated to version 89.0 now the whole page is a light grey and the lock box is a light grey drawing it used to be a black lockbox the whole damn thing has been altered and it is horrible to run, it is something that I now never want to be on again i cannot get colors back i cannot get the real lockbox back instead of this little kid pretend type grey backgrond with dark grey lines that look like a lockbox... IT is all horrific now

I have just updated to Firefox 89 and really like the design, but there's no shadow on the active tab? On my work machine there is.

Is that a bug? I have tried to reset Firefox, but I can't get the shadow to show.

They are both locked in to the same account and have the same theme, extensions and settings.

I’ve repeatedly tried both possible options (Close Firefox or Cancel) offered in the “Close Firefox” box referenced as “Subject” above and gave it loads of time to allow Firefox to open. Repeated shut-downs and reboots also no use. I have always accepted every upgrade to Firefox and Windows offered. But Firefox won’t open on my Lenovo laptop fed by Earthlink wifi router. I hope you can help.

Format of Firefox changed today for some reason. I'm no longer able to forward URL's found thru firefox by email. Even the firefox webpage looks different. June 1, 2021 KEN B>

Hello There,

In the history pane which could be opened by Ctrl + H shortcut, 'Forget About This Site' functionality creates impression to clear all history about that afformentioned site but it removes everything about the site including the passwords.

I understand the perspective about 'forgetting' is different that i mention above but when you are in action like removing the passwords from the password manager you should clearly ask the user about this action.

This functionality really bothered me and i try to disable it and i came accross with 'DisableForgetButton' policy which i thought that i would disable this feature and keep me safe from unintenional 'Forget About This Site' click in history pane but it wont.

As a conculision; 1- I think Firefox should ask about the action with this critical level which is deleting the saved passwords in password manger 2- If you are not able to ask about this action you should allow users or system managers to control this ability.
