I use Firefox version 103, the old version that is perfectly compatible with an extension I always use. I love this old version, and I don't want to update it to the new version. But the update reminder pops up many times everyday. it's so annoying. I used "about config" to turn it off (see photo 2); it works a bit, but the popup still there once daily after the configuration. I want to turn it off permanently. Is there any way to do it? Thank you very much!!

Hi jscher2000, I want to thank you for your advice concerning a problem I had downloading Firefox to my Windows 10 laptop. I tried to follow your advice but was not successful. In the end, I googled "what if Firefox doesn't install". It took me to a website, https://www.makeuseof.com/fix-firefox-not-installing-windows , which took me to an article entitled "8 Fixes to Try if Firefox Won't Install on Windows". I tried #1 and #2 without success. #3, Temporarily Disable Your Antivirus Software, worked. Firefox is up and running. Feel free to share this with anyone who has a similar problem. No guarantee that it will work, but its worth a try. Again, thank you. drzee1946

Hello everyone,

I'm currently consuming APIs hosted on an external server using Java( or any other server side language), and everything works smoothly. However, when attempting to consume the same APIs in JavaScript, I encounter the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' error.

After some research, I discovered that browsers implement security checks leading to this issue. Can anyone advise on how to disable these security checks or resolve this issue when accessing the website in the Firefox browser? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a screen recorder. The addon search list has several.

Awesome screenshot has a lot of users, but some aren't thrilled that you have to create an account.

it doesn't have to be particularly fancy. For instance, I have a couple Firefox and Windows issues I'd like t document.

I subscribed to Relay and VPN on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023, and paid the annual fee ($82.66); however, after looking at all the features of Relay, I decided that it was too complicated for me and I cancelled the subscription the same day. I have not received a refund yet.

Previously, I had been paying for the VPN monthly, and I do want to keep that and can pay for it annually. So the annual amount for the VPN could be withheld from the amount I paid and the refund could be for Relay portion only, if that's possible. If not, I will continue to pay for the VPN monthly.

Please advise as to how long before I will see my refund.

Thank you. Darlene Eaton

Recently I started receiving Firefox alerts when I attempt to use my ActivClient CAC login See Figure _01. Entering my CAC pin into the ActivCLient dialog and everything works fine (see FIgure_02). But I can't figure out wht the alert notice is telling me or why it has started all of a sudden.

Can't get to Google apps from google home page. Dots for Google apps not there. Only way they appear is to search for something. Otherwise you can't get to apps (no nine dots) or even sign in to google. Nosigh-in box either on first open of browser. Thanks for the help.

At the latest update firefox 64bit crashed and I neede a totally new install of firefox. After downloading it said, partly installed we will repair the upgrade and it did. However only a few bookmarks were recovered many of which were over a year old... So how to recover my recent bookmarks, which were in sorted in named bookmarkfolder, e.g. home/study/work

I would assume a backup frommy firefox account but that does not show a solution..?!??

On Windows 10, Professional up to date with Malwarebytes (pro) and Microsoft Security Essentails running permanently.

1. Mozilla email address 2. When I use Mozilla-Firefox to look for products on Amazon, you don't show the "SIZE" pull downs that are visible using Google Chrome or EDGE. I'm sure this is not good for business. I would prefer to remain on Mozilla, but somehow Amazon has blocked you from showing the size choices, and subject prices!!!

Hi

What is this "app.update.background.rolled out" setting?

 /**
  * Background Update is controlled by the per-installation pref
  * "app.update.background.enabled". When Background Update was still in the
  * experimental phase, the default value of this pref may have been changed.
  * Now that the feature has been rolled out, we need to make sure that the
  * desired default value is restored.
  */
 async ensureExperimentToRolloutTransitionPerformed() {
   if (!lazy.UpdateUtils.PER_INSTALLATION_PREFS_SUPPORTED) {
     return;
   }
   const transitionPerformedPref = "app.update.background.rolledout";
   if (Services.prefs.getBoolPref(transitionPerformedPref, false)) {
     // writeUpdateConfigSetting serializes access to the config file. Because
     // of this, we can safely return here without worrying about another call
     // to this function that might still be in progress.
     return;
   }
   Services.prefs.setBoolPref(transitionPerformedPref, true);

when the change occurs on Nov1 from firefox to Mozilla do I need to sign in using my current password or will mozilla already know that and I can just access my email and other things by hitting the mozilla icon I do not know if I remember my firefox email password

When I export the data I get three date/time fields with numbers in exponential notation that will not covert to a date in MS Excel, e.g., "1.50931E+12" What am I doing wrong?

Attached is a picture I took of what I'm experiencing. At first I thought it was an issue with my monitor or perhaps my computer hardware, but it seems to only affect Firefox. Besides the obvious black squares you can see, I invite you to look at the top of the page displayed. Where it talks about Megan thee stallion, the "a" and "n" of "Megan" are kind of cut off by something.

I also experienced twice, maybe three times the whole page going blank for a second or so before returning to normal (not my whole screen, just the firefox browser). I just checked and Firefox is up to date.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I also checked Windows Defender and saw it had detected a threat, named Win32/OfferCore. I have since deleted it and have started a complete analysis of my computer which is still underway.

My OS is Windows 10. I hope this can be resolved, as currently it is stopping me from being able to read an article on Wikipedia, with many of the letters being kind of cut in the same fashion as with "Megan".

Thanks for any help, it'll be appreciated

It always worked, i just alt+tab to firefox, quick spacebar and youtube video paused until few days ago, now i need to specificaly click on the video in order for it to work, other buttons work, other video websites like netflix dont have any problem. I remember new update tab opened. Why do you have to break everything? Don't know how long that show all tabs button is up there but I tried couple times to remove it and its impossible, why URL bar is also search bar? Why? everyone can but search bar whenever we want, even right next to it, who thinks of this bullshit? Instead of being user friendly you put useless shit into it making it work like a my 16 bit PC when people expect it to run smoothly and quickly.

Hi Support Team,

I had a Firefox old & important data (Bookmarks, password..) in non-functioning old PC, but Hard disk has with old folders. Could you please help me to retrieve old data into new PC Firefox browser from hard disk or another method.

Thanks Oshada

Sometimes, firefox will download the same file twice (or more) when I still have it.

I do NOT want to turn off automatic downloading.

I am asking, how to make firefox check if the file already exists before downloading.

I understand that sometimes you willl download multiple files from a website, but, even though they are all called "image.jpg" they are all in fact different pictures.

So, I think the solution to this is, when downloading a file, firefox should check if the file already exists.

If it does exist, start the download for file(1) as usual, but ask the user

"A file with this name already exists, are you sure you want to download it again ?"

And the choices should be

Yes (download continues) yes, and do not ask again for this filename (download continues) No (download is interrupted and partial file is deleted)

Hi, Mr. or Mrs. The website has blank pages (page cannot be accessed). Utilizing https://xnxubdvpnbrowser.online/ The page is blank even though it looks like it has been contacted at the upper left. Is there a reason Brave is unable to load the website correctly?
