Firefox-Hilfeforum

Trying to browse to a website that I know is safe, but it's an old site and it looks like the security certificate is expired. I'm getting:

"Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to jeconais.fanficauthors.net. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

jeconais.fanficauthors.net has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

I cannot find a way to bypass this or turn this off. Why is there no option to do this (when there has been in previous versions)?

Recently when I open Gmail it opens and everything is on the left side of screen. There are no graphics just letters on left side. How can I restore back to normal web browser page? If I use another browser Gmail looks normal.

I have set four custom URLs to open each time I use my main Firefox profile - this works well. (I have several different profiles I use for different roles and sets of logins).

I frequently open new windows to hold a set of associated tasks.

If I specifically open a link into a new window, the new window only has that one tab - all good.

However, if I just open a new window (Ctrl-N), Firefox always opens four new duplicate tabs for my custom URLs.

Is there a way to limit custom URLs to the first window opened in a profile or to open custom URLs only if they are not already open in at least one window?

Hi,

I am an IT novice. or an old man who does not know IT. Initially, I installed Firefox on my desktop computer and now it became Norton. Can you help me to get back Firefox on my search page. I hope I don't confused you. Thanks. Best regards, Peter Lee

The last 3 days when I try to load my email from Netzero.net I get a error message that says Bad Request This works okay with the Edge and Silk browsers But I normally use Firefox. Why won't Netzero website load.

Please enable the ability to use the "Dark Reader" add-on on this site or let us change it in the settings. Horrible experience in light mode. On the added image you can see that the "Dark Reader" add-on is enabled.

Hi, Recently purchased new laptop with Win 11. I was having trouble downloading anything. Always indicated failure.

I checked some of the responses here for that problem. One of them said to not accept HTTPS only. When I checked my settings, it WAS already set to Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode. I then set the HTTPS-Only mode to Only in private windows. That setting now allows downloads. Why doesn't it allow downloads when I don't accept HTTPS only?

Greetings, I've been having this issue for quite some time now and instead of just switching to another browser, I've come to the point where I've decided that it's time to fix this issue. It took me quite some time to figure out but now that I have, it's time to take it on. I frequently watch videos from various sites, both common and not so much but this happens across the spectrum. I usually have auto play off and volume muted because I'm in a super quiet building and one never knows how a video will start out unless we're familiar with the site, content, etc and have had some instances where a video would auto play and the volume would be cranked and I'm usually either Bluetoothed or wired to my home audio system so needless to say, I'm sure I've startled, surprised, or otherwise affected other tenants here, not to mention some embarrassing ones. Oh well. So now to my issue. For the past few months, possibly more, it could even be over a year now that I think about it, when I play a video, it's fine with the volume muted but when either I turn the volume on, or shut the mute off so that the videos will start with sound, they won't play. Some not at all and they won't even start, some will start for a split second and then stop, some will play for varying amounts of time, however usually not very long, and once in awhile one will play for a few minutes. I can't remember the last time a video played all the way through with the sound un-muted. It's been a while. This isn't an issue in any other browsers that I know of nor playing local content on installed media players. It's only firefox and it's any online streaming video from any site.

Task Manager detail line can be expanded to show multiple open tabs, and I can sort display by CPU but that doesn't help me identify WHICH SPECIFIC tab is using high CPU. Are there any tools to help me quickly identify (and perhaps End) such high CPU tabs/processes? Thanks!

Firefox for linux ubuntu is what I'm using on my laptop. I installed browsec VPN and it does not launch. I've used this before linux mint and I did not have any problems.

'HACKED IN CANADA

They got evernote and dropbox. Evernote had 12 years of pw. They got all my gmails and aol and yahoo

It took 12 days to get my gio** mail Google. THat gmail said my firefox was full and I did not read it all. The Hackers had all my gmails etc.

Today

I noticed that on August 10 my Firefox is now using aol.

When I gave my username at aol I gave username but the pw failed: did the Hackers change it, but I had my phone for aol to use, so they sent codes. Apple did not like the code and announced it junk, which slowed me down. Aol sent another code, only then Apple let me see the code in time. When I returned to aol access to my phone at aol was taken down, and then Apple let me see all the codes. Aol said try a few hours.

Please verify my firefox account is still gei* and gae**bon**@icloud.

I had downloaded my passwords a few days and have left it open on my computer

I have Firefox Sync enabled in my Firefox browser on a few computers. When I logged in to Firefox Sync initially, it did sync-up my new computer with all of the saved bookmarks and history. I am not sure if any of my logins were saved). When I go to websites and login, I am prompted with the dialog to save my credentials, and I say ok, save. But the logins are not remembered. And in my about:logins page shows "no logins found". I don't care about retrieving any old logins, I just want to be able to save new ones and get the default behavior of saving logins working again.

The PDF Viewer within Firefox is displaying extra lines in certain files that are not displayed in previous versions and are also not displayed in other browsers or standalone pdf viewing applications. This can be seen in this file: http://www.gel-mobile.com/test.pdf The extra lines are the slanted black lines that start at the top of some of the peaks and slant down to the right until touching the baseline. I uploaded an image where I circled one of the lines that shouldn't be there. The vertical and horizontal black lines are supposed to be visible. The slanted lines are not. We have observed that these lines were not present in previous versions (115 and before), but 116 shows these lines. Tested on multiple Windows PCs.

The scrolling is normal on settings pages, and this page as well, but on regular webpages the rest of the web the scrolling is slower and faster than slower, it makes it impossible to use this browser, any help?

I'm so frustrated, because I've been using Firefox and this feature since 2019 without a glitch. Immediately after upgrading to v. 116, I found that no credit card info will populate even after I enter a password for the permission. Does anybody know what the problem is, or how to fix it??

When you start typing a URL and Firefox starts offering suggestions based on URLs you've visited before, normally you can use the down arrow to highlight one, then hold SHIFT and pres DEL, and it will remove that listing.

For some reason, that isn't working for me anymore. Even when I click the little "..." and select Remove From History...nothing happens.

Currently running Firefox 116.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10 64-bit. Not sure what's going wrong here; this function worked in the past but now it doesn't for some reason.
