Firefox won't show photos on Yahoo websites. I'm using Windows 10. I can see the first photo of an article but the rest of the article shows blank rectangles. I've researched this online, and I see that more than a few are having this problem. I finally exported my bookmarks and deleted Firefox, using the Programs section of the Control Panel. I followed instructions from a "Sunshare" website. The instructions also said to go to File Explorer > Users > Isumsoft Li and remove a couple of app data files - there is no Isumsoft folder though. I'm also instructed to go to Program Files and remove the Mozilla Firefox folder, and there is no such folder that any of my searches show.

So anyway I deleted and reinstalled Firefox, restarted my PC, and I still have the same problem. I'd definitely like to keep using Firefox because of privacy but I'll have to find another browser if I can't get it to work.

I don't know why the upgrades I've installed won't address this problem, but that's not relevant to this post. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Greatly appreciate any help here.

Hello, my Mozilla Firefox is hanging when I have about 50 tabs opened. So I have to kill the browser and restart it. After a few hours of work I have to do that again. Any ideas/suggestions?

I have never agreed to not use a password with paypal with my firefox browser. Today I was let into my paypal account without being asked for my password. How do I resume being asked for my password?

Gmail will not load in Firefox, but will in Chrome. I've cleared my history, cookies, and cache. I made sure I had the latest Firefox update, restarted my computer, checked in internet connection, everything I could think of. There is no error message; it just stops loading and the page is totally blank, as you can see on the attached image. I've run out of ideas and know-how. Anyone else had this issue and resolved it?

Firefox browser is preventing pdf's from downloading completely. When pdf is downloaded the file does not open, nor is it a pdf. I'm not sure how to solve this issue. I wind up opening Chrome to download and open the pdf.

Since the last Firefox update about two weeks ago or so, late November 2020, Firefox has been using a lot more memory and crashing my computer quite often. Is there a way to undo the last update to check this problem out? May or may not be tied to embedded videos auto running.

Within the last 2 weeks or so I get this error repeatedly when accessing secure sites that i used to be able to access with no issues. I use a private VPN and 2 factor authentication. Sometimes stopping the VPN momentarily fixes this, but for other sites, it's no go. This isn't an SSL or SEC error and a search on help forum didn't provide an answer.

It's a simple question: Why Firefox enforces by default extensions like Amazon, Bing, eBay, Google ? What really these extensions do?

Paradox#1: Firefox enforces to use those totally insecurity and unreliable companies! Paradox #2: Firefox don't even show those extensions mentioned above! Paradox #3: Even when I remove them from "Options->Search Engines" these ones keep being enabled and hidden! Paradox #4: Third party program needed to manage those Firefox hidden extensions! I Disable all above extensions by "CCleaner" and: Paradox #5: they comes back by default in every Firefox damn update!

I wish I'm wrong I would pleased if someone explain in an article, or even in few words, why all those. I think Mozilla should detailed explain.

Thanks in advance and Sorry for my English.

Since I got my new Laptop it won't let me zoom by holding ctrl and scrolling. I have already tried changing settings in advanced Preferences like mousewheel.with_control.action . But nothing seems to work.

Bonjour,

Lorsque je télécharge des fichiers que Firefox ne reconnaît pas, une fenêtre pop-up s'affiche pour me demander ce que Firefox doit faire avec le fichier. Je souhaiterais enregistrer ma réponse pour ne pas avoir cette fenêtre à chaque téléchargement.

(J'ai donc voulu suivre les instructions données sur cette page : https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/changer-ce-que-fait-firefox-lorsque-vous-cliquez-telechargez-fichier )

Cependant, l'option "toujours effectuer cette action pour ce type de fichier" n'apparaît pas chez moi. De plus je n'arrive pas à ajouter moi-même une ligne dans le tableau 'Applications' dans Options > Général. Y a-t-il un autre moyen d'enregistrer la comportement de Firefox avec un certain type de fichier ?

Hello,

since months I have problem with automatic launch of Firefox on my computer, It's really insupportable. I'm ready to abandon firefox. I'm on windows 10 and I use Firefox 83. There is 3 different sessions on my computer and only one has the problem.... my session. Firefox launch a new windows always and regularely, when the computer start, and all the time during the use of my sessions. If i'm already on Firefox, a new windows open's.... If I close this one, few second after an other open's..... If I put this one on background, about 1 min after again an other open's. Like this always and indefinitevely. Whatever my use of the computer or the site to visit. Even when I don't use internet and use other software to work, Firefox starts up and goes in front of my software. If I let my session opened and I do nothings, after a certain time a lot of firefox windows are open. You can easily understand why I say that It's really insupportable... and this only with Firefox on my session.

My computer is protected with antivirus, and I did a full scan several time, I also tried with an other antivirus software. I used 2 softwares for detect malware... Nothing. I try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but the problem still the same after reinstall. I already set the "toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart" on "false" but firefox start alone again, again, again...

Does anyone has an idea of what is the problem and what I can do ?

Thanks.

I am dealing with what appears to be a browser issue. When I try to log in to my Mint account using Firefox, it requires me to verify that I am not a robot. Then using reCAPTCHA it brings up a set of images that I click. After clicking each set it keeps bringing up new sets of images and prevents me from logging in.

When I contacted Mint they said I needed to clear cookies in Firefox. So I cleared cookies and still cannot log in. It keeps throwing new sets of images at me over and over. I have been easily able to log in to Mint using Firefox in the past, but just recently it will not allow me to log in. I do not understand why.

I chatted with Mint who told me to use Chrome. I tried using Chrome and I can log in using Chrome. Why can't I log in using Firefox?

Also, is it feasible to offer a chat window to discuss this problem?

I've tried numerous times to reset my password and click the dialog to send the reset mail to my email address. My address is the valid one for my account.

This mail is not being received. it's not getting to my inbox nor is it going into the spam folder.

I resent the mail and added accounts@firefox.com to my contacts as suggested.

What should I do?

Hello

i have been having an issue with my browser where when ever i close it logs me out of all the websites i have been logged in to. i have refreshed it and i have reinstalled it and i still have the same problem and its making it really hard to work. any input is really appreciated.

thank you.

Hi Firefox Team

I am very happy to use this browser as it serves all my needs perfectly! So thanks you for that.

The issue I have is about the updates. Whenever Firefox updates, I lose the sites saved on it. I have no issues with that.

However, can you give me the option to select a time and date for it?

That way I can, 1) Select a time when I am not working on Firefox. 2) Coordinate with other updates like Windows and McAfee.

This will ensure that I am prepared for the sites to disappear just once, instead of every time there's an update.

Thanks, Kajal
