Firefox-Hilfeforum

HI, All of a sudden my camera wouldn't load on a site I use frequently--the teletherapy platform for Psychology Today. (I'm a psychotherapist). I tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked. I finally had the idea to switch browsers, and behold! it worked! So there is something about Firefox that suddenly disabled the video function for this particular site. The camera light is on, but the image does not load. It is not a problem with another video-conferencing platform I use (Webex) via Firefox, just a problem with Psychology Today. Please advise. I want to keep using Firefox for Pso Today, too, if possible.

Thank you. MBSwett

Firefox 93 now opens links in new tab. I want it like I had it before to open links in the same tab. Why was this changed? I use the navigation arrows to go back ect. Such a pain using eBay now!

I tries changing settings but it does not work.

How do I get rid of Facebook Fence? It is blocking me from signing onto Fingerhut web site to pay my bill. I had to use Chrome instead, and since I could get on with Chrome that means it is Firefox. I tired to get it so I could get on but could not figure it out.

I was disturbed to find in a test for v2 and v4 icc support from the color.org website (International Color Consortium), "Is your system ICC Version 4 ready", which Firefox failed.

I found out that what the ICC refers to as "system" references browsers. My computer is an iMac OS X 10.13.6 and my Firefox is v93. The test is https://www..color.org/version4html.xalter. There is a link that brings the test up in PDF, which I think is necessary as the link itself seems to be only a picture.

Other photography sites have pointed this use of the word "system" out for, in my case, Safari and Chrome for instance. I tried Safari and ran the PDF test. It passed. I tried Firefox again (and again) it failed every time. Other people have had the same result, as in the following quote, "...Houston we have a problem...".

One of the most helpful websites I have found for this, mostly from fine photography sites, was https://gregbenzphotography.com/photography-tips/how-to-setup-proper-color-management-in-a-web-browser. This website had six tests for browsers. Firefox passed every test except test #6. Using Safari, it passed all including test #6. You could try it with Chrome.

This website, and many others, suggested a Firefox enabling correction that starts with typing into a Firefox address bar about:confg click, and after some scary warnings, type in gfx.color_management.mode (set to 1), click, then gfx.color_management.enablev4 (set to true), click, then gfx.color_management.rendering_intent. (set to 1 relative colorimetric--or to 0 for us Philistines). Restart Firefox.

Didn't work, Firefox still failed. I tried this many times, same result. Read the last sentence of the Summary on that website.

I'm sad to do this, but sending my even relatively elementary images to an outside printer, using PDF/X1a to KDP or IngramSpark for instance, I'll use Safari because I don't trust what Firefox might do. If anyone knows a way for Firefox to pass muster with the ICC, I will gladly use it.

I am using Firefox 93.0 on Archlinux, with Kde Plasma 5.22.5 and since yesterday a very strange issue is happening.

Only when I use my Firefox' Work Profile, the mouse cursor hitpoint is misaligned from the tip of the pointer.

For example, for the arrow cursor, the hit point is on the left a few pixels below the arrow tip. For the text caret cursor it is even worse as the hit point lies outside the cursor itself, about 5 pixels below.

This happens not only within the pages, but also on the tabs, bookmarks, tabs, menus and even the settings page, as can be see in the partial screenshot attached. As per the cursor position, the "Advanced" button should be highlighted, but "Colours" is highlighted instead.

This DOES not happen with any other program on the same linux session and not even on firefox when using my private profile.

I have tried disabling extensions, but that did not change anything.

I am not even sure where I can start investigating or troubleshooting this, appreciate any suggestion. Thank you.

Certain emojis are no longer showing up for me while using Firefox. They will show up as as little boxes with numbers and letters instead of the actual emoji art. This doesn't happen with all of them, only certain ones. I have attached a few screenshots for reference.

Also, I have attempted to fix this issue by changing my default fonts, disabling addons, etc. Nothing seems to work. When I use Chrome, I have no issues seeing these emojis.

Thanks!

I've been using Windows Quicken and Firefox for many years and have one ongoing annoyance... When I download a .qfx file of transactions from some financial institution, a window pops up asking what should Firefox do with this file.. (Firefox is my default browser)... There is a choice to open the file with Windows Quicken and I select that and things work fine. However, there is also an optional check box that supposedly gives you the choice to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on". I check that box but it never seems to work... I am always asked the question about what should Firefox use to open a qfx file. What can I do to get FIrefox to use Windows Quicken to automatically open the file?

Just cancel my trial period now because I do not have the correct Word version for the course training.

Please respond that you have cancelled my trial period because I cannot sign up for the course.

Hi, need Help I thought I was all set up but I don't understand. I've been trying for hours. I need to copy a link to the browser and I can't. Help please, I'm terrible at this!

A lot of Windows applications launch with the size of the window as it was when closed. Every time I Iaunch Firefox, I have to resize the window to fit my needs. Doesn't Firefox preserve those conditions for the next time the application is launched?

Thank you for your time.

None of these airline sites work. Each has different issues. AA just sends you to an under construction page Jet Blue can not create boarding passes. It deletes the pop ups no matter what I do. Delta just fails randomly

All work with Edge.

Will there be a resolution to this issue?

Suddenly, as of last night, my Firefox browser crashes within seconds of my clicking on its icon. There isn't enough time for me to try to do anything within the window. I really don't know a lot about computers, so the info in the Help forum doesn't work for me. I have liked using Firefox, so my ideal would be to get it fixed. If that doesn't work, I have used Firefox for a LONG time and have many bookmarks that I would rather not lose. Can you help? Don Frew
