Firefox-Hilfeforum

My question concerns my webmail, create new mail. There are buttons to add an attachment, 1) "from my cloud" 2) "from my PC" in my webmail. The internet browsers 'Google Chrome', 'Microsoft Edge' work correctly. The Internet browser 'Mozilla Firefox' does not show the print key for 2) from my PC!

Been told Firefox is causing my problem. When trying to start my canada.ca account - damn pictures show up and forces me to select 'smiling' dogs. horses in clouds, even livingroom pics...how do I turn off this Firefox /security??

There is this weird bug(?) that popped up like within a day or so. When searching for some terms with Google in Firefox, the search result would repeat itself. For example, searching for terms like "ab", "abc", or "hgi" would result in two searches, but not "def". So let's say if I search for "ab" twice, I would get 4 search histories of "ab".

One curious thing I noticed is that if I already have a non-blank tab opened before the search, going back to it and then going forward to any search that would repeat itself would prompt it to produce two search histories again. The problem to this is that if there were other searches further up the tab's histories (I usually search for multiple things within the same tab), they would essentially be lost (I turned off search and form history) when the search repeated itself, since it would act like I made a new search of the same term.

I have updated the Firefox browser to the latest stable version 103.0.1, and the problem persists. I tried to replicate this on Chrome to no avail. It's irking me to no end, so any help is much appreciated.

all other browsers work fine apart from firefox since the latest update , I have been a firefox user for 20 years and if this continues then I will have to quit using it . Tried everything i can think of and it still doesn't work

I want to be able to open, say, pdf files and NOT have them saved in the downloads directory unless I mark them to be saved in the open dialogue. Firefox worked that way for years. I reported this as a bug, I think in V.101. After much palaver, some of it irrelevant, the bug was reported fixed, but it has not been.

The bug number — it changed frequently — I last noted down was 1738574.

I've some search engines which was configured a lot of years ago (or maybe was imported from another browser many years ago). They are working in address bar (e.g. I can enter there "cve something", press Enter and get redirected to https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=something), but not listed neither in about:preferences#search nor in my profile's search.json.mozlz4 (I've unpacked and checked it - it contents does match about:preferences#search). I've tried to grep for "cvekey.cgi" in my profile folder but get no results (I suppose these "hidden" search engines are stored in some sqlite file).

I'd like to have these hidden search engines listed in about:preferences#search. I can even manually re-add them, but how can I find complete list of all configured search engines?

Hi Firefox support

I am using Nuance Dragon Professional and trying to install the Dragon extension into Firefox. This is because I am disabled and my hands do not work well See this link https://dnsriacontent.nuance.com/13/setup/ffinstall.html?lang=ENX&browser=firefox

When I hit the install the extension button on the screen nothing happens

I did check to see if this extension was in the Mozilla Firefox extension library and no success

I can make this work with Google Chrome but I would prefer to stick with Firefox Chris Gullett - cg@printstar.biz

When I create a file to print in Firefox ( in this case from Etsy ) the preview looks ok but when the file is printed or saved as a PDF then the text parts of the file are ok ... but the images are much too large.

You can see this on the attached images ... how it should look and how its coming out!?

Any help gratefully received :-)

Why can I not use certain websites on Firefox, when they work fine with other browsers. For instance, I could not book a flight on United.com but did so easily with Chrome. I assume there is some security thing that does not allow united, or other sites, to fill in the necessary info. This has been going on for 10 years. Sometimes, I realize it is a Firefox problem and go to another site, and sometimes now. I want to use FF, but since, I so often get blocked, it is a hassle. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

I've been using Firefox as my preferred browser for almost as long as it has been available. And I keep it right up to date.

Right now, it's having problems establishing secure connections to very common web sites like https://Google.ca, and https://www.theguardian.com/uk. The former seems to work intermittently, and Google.com always seems to work. Web sites for some major international retailers like Home Depot were also nonfunctional a few weeks ago, but seem to be more consistent now.

Microsoft Edge has no problems displaying any of these web sites on the same computer. And I've been using it more and more recently. This is annoying since I have all of my bookmarks in Firefox.

I have gone through all of the Firefox settings looking for adjustments which might help, but none of the ones I tested made any difference.

I really hope you can help because this problem is costing me a lot of extra time. If I'm forced to switch to another browser, it's unlikely that I'll ever come back to Firefox.

As of 16 August Firefox Development Edition continually crashes.

Firefox standard is fine.

Tried the following 1. Shutdown and restart 2. Refresh 3. Uninstall, download and reinstall (4 times) 4. Chkdsk /r with restart then uninstall and reinstall 5. Open in troubleshoot mode 6. Tried incognito window 7. Tried disabling AV (Eset)

No change other than when the crash happens. Initially it would require opening a few tabs and browsing - now it crashes on startup.

Given that no other applications are behaving adversely, that Firefox standard works, that this was working find until 12 hours ago - my suspicion is it is something to do with the Developer edition.

Any other suggestions welcome.

As the title this is on a W10 and W11 PC that use a copy of the same profile. I have 'strict' privacy settings and 'Always use private browsing mode'

Even if I clear Cookies and Cache manually then close and open FF I get these files created in the Cache. W11, 24kBs (two files) and W10, 36kBs (3 files) See image attached.

If this is FF it's a tracking privacy issue for those files are always the same. Who or what could be recreating these files for I also do not have any white list or black list of sites, so these files are also recreated when off-line.

Whenever I sign into Firefox, all my themes, add-ons/extensions are added via Firefox Sync. That's fine, but the problem I have is that whenever I sign into any Firefox browser, an old theme I used to have that I no longer have on my account keeps coming back, and I've tried to find solutions to this issue, but none have had this kind of issue. It may be similar to issues those have had, or currently have, but I can't seem to do anything to remedy this issue.

Keep in mind that this is not a Firefox browser issue, it is an account issue.

I'd be deeply grateful to any assistance you may have for me.

I have a couple of client websites that sometimes has trouble displaying page elements. I think it's related to some Javascript that's controlling elements animating in as user scrolls down the page. The page will sometimes load fine, but other times elements don't display resulting in large blank areas and the hero video doesn't load.

It's behaving as if Javascript is disabled in browser settings, but it is enabled. Only happens in Firefox, no issues in Chrome. My developers can't figure out what's happening.

At some moment I´ve got a pretty big sessionstore file (6,6 Mb) which does not load properly. I´ve tried a few of FF versions and settings. My current version 103.0.1 64 bit loads it for few minutes and crashes when tabs appear. Some older versions loads it but after that have various problems with program interface: new tabs sometimes won´t open, no float tips when I´m hove cursor over tab header and so on. Also in such cases browser often crashes and not update old sessionstore file. I have 16 Gb of RAM, FF takes up to 5,5 Gb before tabs appear for moment and FF crashes. I have such big sessionstore file earlier (for example, 24.07.22 it has size of 6,5 Mb), but all worked fine. Maybe there are any internal setting that I have to try?

I see that there was a new version loaded yesterday so don't know if this relates. Starting today, when I open Firefox, it opens in a small screen in the upper left corner. I want it to open in full screen. I have to click twice to get the full screen. I do not mean the screen that F11 gives since I still want my tabs at the bottom. I have Windows 10 and Firefox 103.0.2.

I realize that this is an annoyance that has a workaround. I just want what I had yesterday. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, Ten minutes ago, my Firefox browser was upgraded and now all my webpages' (no matter what site) appearance has changed for the worse. They all appear with enormous fonts. I tried to change the fonts in settings but it doesn't make any difference. The only way to change the appearance is to manually change the zoom setting for each page. Before the zoom I used was 110% but now the fonts are enormous and I have to reduce the zoom to 90% for each page that I open. Please advise.
