Firefox-Hilfeforum

Hi, I don't know why, but my firefox's console suddenly started highlight dom elements only with borders, without background colors for padding and margin as usual. How to get them back? Attaching 2 images: one from firefox, with current boder-highlights, and sadly one from chrome, because firefox doesn't have anymore, with background highlights, just as an example of how, circa, was FF before.

How to get back?

In the last month or so a new icon has appeared in the Firefox Toolbar. It looks like a puzzle piece and is near the far right of the Toolbar. If you click it you go to about:addons. Why is it here, and how do I get rid of it?

Hi all!

When I alt-click, I always want a new tab to appear, but in the background—never forcing me to navigate away from my current window. (I'm a Mac user, and use the Command key as my alt.) I've successfully toggled settings in about:config to make this happen in 90% of cases. But...

When I type into the address bar and hit alt-return, Firefox always forces the new tab into the foreground (whether a search result or a typed URL). How do I change this setting to background?

Thanks!

Since updating to 111.0 my Firefox browser crashes. I can open it up, and select a site, but when I select things within the site it crashes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but still the same issue. This problem never happend before the 111.0 update. This is on a MacBook Pro w/Monterey OS, M1 chip.

After the update to 111.0 Firefox crashes. I can open it up, go to a site etc. but eventually it crashes. I deleted it and reinstalled, same problem. This has never occured prior to 111.0.

Whenever I try to access the "about:third-party" page in Firefox - it returns with 'Hmm. That address doesn’t look right.Please check that the URL is correct and try again.'

So what should I do?

Prior to installing the most recent update (today), when I clicked on "file" at the top of my screen, I was given the option to open a new window (or private window). I can no longer do that. Instead, I have to open a new tap within the window I have open (generally, my email). How can I restore this? Thank you.

For the past few months some text on firefox is displaying as absolute nonsense (screenshots attached), while the rest will be normal. It's in websites and emails too, usually titles or text that's in a different font or color. I've tried updating firefox and tried turning off some settings suggested in other posts about similar problems but nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm sick of having to visit certain websites in Safari in order to read them!

Thank you!

I use Firefox on my Mac. Since updating to the OS Ventura, I now see many words on different sites, as well as numbers, show up as things like zzjk{d instead of saying brett. This happens on my ebay site, my american express site which I cannot see any numbers of transactions cost since all the numbers show up as (d9 f for example. Something is not working correctly. I checked and and up to date with all firefox updates. Safari works perfect on all sites so this is a Firefox issue. See attached for how some areas on eBay look. Not all words are like this, some are still english spelling correctly. But some pages like this support page are completely unrecognizable but works correctly on Safari.

I got on my computer and randomly lost all my bookmarks. I have tried to restore them but havent been able to using methods listed in the support articles. I cant figure out how or why they would all disappear.

Hi, I have a problem with Firefox, I have two google accounts, one is my own, and the other I no longer want, as I have left the workspace. I am unable to contact the owners of the workspace, and I no longer have the password so that I can no longer log in, I simply want to remove the other account as it always pops up, and I have to go through a lengthy process to get to my account. Thanks heaps.

This has happened to me several times and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but then it happens again weeks, months later. It says to contact Mozilla for a correct certificate but how do I do that. There's no instructions on how to do this. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
