Firefox-Hilfeforum

my Gmail for whatever reason has stopped displaying the body of an email. if I hit reply, and hit the three dots, the original email is visible. so the email is still there. I rebooted, I ran First Aid in Disk Utility. still nothing. and it works like normal on Safari. running 10.12.6 on an old Mac Powerbook. MacOS Sierra. have no idea how this happend, or why. thank you.

Okay, hi- first time here. I have, as far as I know, all my preferences set correctly- clear history and cookies upon shutdown, etc yet EVERY time I reopen Firefox it's attempting to resume my last session which seems to me to be the opposite of how I have it configured so I was wondering what I also need to do to eliminate this privacy concern. Thanks in advance~

Hi, i'm using Firefox Sync and therefore FF asks for primary password on every startup. The delay until it asks for the password is annoying. e.g. already typing into my favorite search engine when i look up and see the seach term is typed into the password field because of the delayed, random popup.

I know there's a workaroud to pin Firefox Account site to speed things up, but this is a bad workaround. Why isn't it possible to change FF to ask for the password immediately when Sync is enabled. Can't be this hard.

P.S. Why isn't Chrome asking ever for a password, even if Sync and PW are stored?

I want to have site-specific zoom, but enabling `privacy.resistFingerprinting` disables this. How can I re-enable site specific zoom without having to disable `privacy.resistFingerprinting`?

Hi, I have two computers (call them A and B) and want to sync, at least bookmarks preferences and logins... BUT for the first "sync" operation, I want A to OVERWRITE the data on B (not MERGE) ... and thereafter sync normally.

How can I do this?

Many thanks in advance

Greetings. I've got a problem which is ocсuring in firefox. I'm starting js script on the web page which creating some canvas elements and saving them as PNG files (do no add them into DOM). All created objects are changing their values to null after save to make them unreachable for GC. During this process Firefox is taking all available memory (it is not much, only 4 GB installed and around 3 Gb free) and then crashing with "out of memory" exception. I opened about:memory and clicked on the "Minimize memory usage" button. It took effect. GC freed unused memory and the script continuing working for some time. Then I had to minimize again. And again... till the end of script running.

But if I switch to another tab after starting the script (the tab with running script became inactive), memory consumption is not growing and limited about 100 MB. That is exactly what I need.

So, looks like GC is not working on active tab or working but not absolutely correctly. But it is working properly on inactive tab. I hope there are some preferences in firefox (about:config ? ) which can help me to solve this problem.

P.S. I've tried the same in chrome. It works fine. So, I believe then script is more or less correct. P.P.S. Sorry for my English. It is not my native language.

Hello, I noticed for the past month my browser has not been working the same. Some websites I can't get into anymore. I just get a spinning circle. A few people told me to delete my cache's, cookies, data and history. Ive updated firefox for my computer. I know my computer is old Im running on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 The site Im trying to get into is Site123.com it is a web building site. I can get in on other browsers just not firefox.

Thank you! Gina [removed email from public]

I deleted most of the info on my Firefox profile, but I left logins.json. Now when I go into about:logins There are no logins, however on that file the websites, username and creation date are still there. I think I might have deleted the passwords. Is there any way I could recover them? I checked all the other profiles: all have no logins.

I cannot log in to my Google account with Firefox. I get this message: You appear to have no security keys registered on your account, and won’t be able to sign in. To sign in on this device, ask your admin about registering a new security key or choosing another second step for verification.

I am the administrator of my account on Google Workspace. I have no idea what the problem is. I have MFA turned on and I am able to log in to Google with Chrome and Edge. I don't see an option on the Google Admin security tab to create a new security key. Please advise on a fix. Thanks

Hello, in regards to the subject line I was wondering if this is something I can disable, but most importantly what is actually going on behind the scenes here. Does it stress hardware at all?

On the "New Tab" I want to include my personal page located on my physical SSD. But when I try to set any icon the error reads "Valid URL Required". I appreciate safety as much as the next tech, but this seems a bit extreme. My PC and my rules, so why are you blocking me?

Unless I am missing a work around here, I will just switch back to my old browser for now. You have my email so contact me when you get a fix.

every time update Firefox should be change on file user-chrome to change tabs to bottom why Mozilla take hard way for change why not can change this from setting one click

Firefox 91.0.1, W10 Pro, 20H2, build 19042.1165

I have two W10 devices, a desktop and laptop, both logged into the same Firefox account. If I send a tab from either device it shows sent but never shows up on the other device. Sync is working fine.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I'm a web developer.

I'm working on a site that downloads a bunch of 3rd-party trackers that set 1st- and 3rd- party cookies.

In development mode, the site is running on "http://localhost:8080". Naturally production is `https` and everything is fine there.

However, during local development, whenever I open the dev console, I get a ton of warnings like

> Cookie XXX will be soon treated as cross-site cookie against YYY because the scheme does not match.

A whole ton of them. Every time.

I'm fine with them being soon treated as cross-site cookies, I really am. I just... don't want to hear about that again, okay? I like my console telling me important things, for debugging and whatnot. These messages are irrelevant, though. I know what I'm doing. It's not a problem here in these circimstances. Where's my "OK, agreed, understand the risks, don't tell me again" button?

How can I suppress these messages?

So... I was using an older Waterfox version on my Mac (10.14.16), and I wanted to update it, but in order to do that I had to download the latest version, leading to me having two Waterfox browsers at the same time.

I wanted to migrate all my passwords, bookmarks, and other goodies to the newer browser.

One thing lead to another, and I found myself fiddling with the Profiles folder. Then I went on to fiddle with the about:profiles page, and... I accidentally created a new profile, but because I didn't assign any folder to it (didn't know you had to do that), it took the whole Profiles folder as its folder. I then went on to delete it, but I clicked on the delete data option. And then *poof* everything was gone.

Luckily I have a backup from Jan 17, but I think I added some bookmarks in the meantime :/

I did a whole scan with the EaseUS Recovery tool (it took like 5 hours), and I managed to find some bookmark files. They are the same size as they used to be, but I think they are corrupt. I tried importing the newest recovered bookmark file into the new Waterfox, and I got the "Unable to process the backup file" message. I tried converting the .jsonlz4 file to just .json, and then tried opening it... still no luck (I used a software called "Max"). I tried uploading the .jsonlz4 file to jeffersonsher's website, and got this:

File name: bookmarks-2022-01-29_3093_5IkRcH-v-sL8tiFAlFCZuQ==.jsonlz4; Size: 497164; last modified 1/28/2022, 5:15:57 PM (failed JSON parsing: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data)

I tried converting it to .json and then to .txt, and the text was corrupt. All sorts of symbols and numbers, and above that, the document is fairly short.

Am I out of luck and everything is forever gone?

I am not a smart or advanced user, so I don't know anything about this sort of stuff.

So I've been doing a lot of distro-hopping over the last couple of years and every install has an instance of firefox + assorted info in the "Connected Services" list. I can log out of them individually, but this is going to take a daft amount of time. I really do mean "a lot of distrohopping". There must be at least 300 entries, probably more. Can I 'log out of all devices' and then back in to clear the list? The alternative would seem to be to export everything, then make a new account and import it back.

As an aside, in the course of chasing this feature down I discovered that it's no longer possible to remove old devices from your Google account.

Thanks I've been a firefox user since the first Beta of the then named Mozilla Sunbird. Always loved it. Always recommended it to anyone who would stand still long enough to listen, as the saying goes.

I'd like to request that the same versions of the Firefox files have the 32bt or 64bt designation in the name. When downloading directly FF Standard and FFesr for my 32bt and 64bt computers/laptops, I can't tell which is which in the download folder, and so I have to download them all over, this time waiting for each to download so I know which it is, and then rename it, and then downloading the other bt version.

    (For example: the file "Firefox Setup 91.5.1esr.exe" could be 32bt or 64bt file, both download with the same name. The same with FF Standard et al.)

It's tedious to do the renaming but I prefer to know at a glance which is which in my archive folders. . . Been doing this renaming for years. Just thought I'd finally make a request. I believe it's the same issue in the Linux and iOS 32bt and 64bt versions--they look identical in the download folder. Thank you.
