Firefox-Hilfeforum

After the last few updates on Firefox, I can no longer access meetup.com. When trying to access that site, I get a "Bad Request" message. As a side note, I have no trouble accessing that site if I use my Safari browser.

Also note that the OS that was "guessed" (10.15) was incorrect--it is MAC OS 13.2.1

Ever since last Firefox update have been unable to access my DNA matches in my Ancestry program. Are you working on fixing whatever it is that you did to cause this? Heather

I have set a master password for firefox Logins and Passwords. When I try to look at Passwords sometimes the login screen pops up to allow me to enter the Master Password. Other times I get the screen (see attached photo) that has a login button. When I click the button the screen flashes but does not pop up a password window. If I close all tabs and other windows of firefox browser then start only one firefox browser window it will ask for the master password. That fixes it temporarily but I have to close many tabs and several firefox windows.

today and everything has changed. My bookmarks are gone, or at least I cannot find them and I cant find anything in my Word account. This is very troubling. Solution please. Were changes made in the last 48 hours?

This feature was great when it was first implemented but it seems to be increasingly unusable. It flatly refuses to generate passwords on many sites seemingly because there is a flag set in the textbox's code disabling auto-complete. It won't allow you to customize the types of passwords that are generated e.g. length, complexity, excluded characters, etc. This wouldn't be such an issue if there was a way to manually generate a password but there seems to be no tool for this anywhere in the settings and no plans to add this feature. I wouldn't be so frustrated if I didn't actually like and actually use the password manager but I do. I rely upon it almost daily and it is extremely disheartening to see it repeatedly confounded by poor design and implementation.

I don't know what to do. I'm not a developer... but WHAT IS WITH THIS? • I've already checked and unchecked "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above." • Quit and restarted • happening on multiple sites • Safe mode doesn't help • gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled is true • Website appearance is automatic • Firefox is up to date • macOS 13.2.1 Ventura • No extra extensions or plug-ins • Enhanced tracking protection off didn't help.

Can someone help me please without me having to be a programmer?

For some reason my computer restart by itself. I lost all the windows and tabs opened. I tried to restore the session but your system told me there was an error. I clicked on menu and history but I can't get to restore the session. Please help !

Firefox has been randomly crashing for me for months now, which minimizes everything I had up, usually at a bad time. Firefox doesn't even have to be running for it to crash and interrupt what I'm doing.

Most recent crash report: bp-495b94c7-0b6a-46d1-8570-75b970230315

I used to be able to access this site in firefox and can acces it in microsoft edge. Any idea what is going on?

I am a new user to Firefox (started in Feb 2023). I am running version 110.0.1, Windows 10 version 22H2, 64 bit. I want to add more tabs (webpage links) to my Firefox Home Page. Firefox Help/FAQ says that I should select the address bar, enter in a website address, and then click on the "menu button" which is on the right side of the address bar. It is supposed to look like three dots or three lines. However, my address bar does not show that - or at least I can't find it. The picture provided in the online Firefox FAQ doesn't match what I am seeing on my home page. Please let me know how to get this "menu button" to appear. Thank you.

Point me somewhere that I can fix this. Last Pass used to have a large red item around where the pocket icon is in the top right but it doesn't appear now. I have downloaded "lastpass_password_manager-4.108.1.7.xpi" and tried to add it to the extensions. But nothing.

Thanks Bob Sawyer

Hey there! I am looking for a setting that sets the columns in the new tab page.

i know about: "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows" This is the same as going to the settings and changing it in the drop down menu.

Is there something that can set the quantity of columns?

I have v110.0.1 (64-bit) on my PC. I had originally thought there was a memory leak because memory usage kept growing. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Instead the memory usage seems to be very high in this version. It seems to have stopped at between 1400 and 1500 MB's, which is about double of previous versions.

find out why suddenly the banners and bars are so deep/large Reduce the bars and banners to previous settings to free up more screen space.

I did not alter the zoom. I tried using zoom to reduce the whole screen but the banners and bars remain large. Outlook mail screen view now has a huge left hand file/folder index column WHY?

Hello,

This is of GENERAL INTEREST, since "Click & Clean" is not available from FF anymore, whilst other people have obviously hijacked the name, and other FF add-ins and add-ons are of very doubtful origin... not even speaking of (notwithstanding its pricing...) CCleaner having bought (some time ago, but it invariably appears at, or near, the top of any google search for browser protection) by We-Spy-Avast. So:

1) It' been known for many years that FF refuses js in address bar; bookmarklets have been praised as a work-around. Thus, a bookmarklet named "some", with keyword "s", and with "javascript:alert(1);" even continues to work today, by entering "sEnter" in the address bar. (The alleged work-around to reset about:config?filter=browser.urlbar.filter.javascript to false having been abandoned many years ago...)

2) It seems that FF tries to wrongly "protect" its settings by all means? Speaking about about:preferences#privacy where the "Inspect (Q)" doesn't work, but where by looking at the source code, I was able to identify the "Clear Data" button as button id="clearSiteDataButton" or then: data-l10n-id="sitedata-clear" (whatever that means...), whilst

2a) on that page, the buttons (among others) "Clear Data" has the "l" (lowercase-L) underlined, "Manage Data" has the "M" underlined, and ditto for the "Manage Data" dialog then, in which the button "Remove Selected" has the "R" underlined, the "Save Changes" button comes with an underlined "a", and the the "Remove All" has its first "e" underlined, etc., etc. - whilst NO a, r, e or whatever, also with "alt" or with "control", then would ever activate or trigger those buttons, which arises the question, "WHY come those buttons with an underlined character, when they are not available BUT by - physical-only? - mouse click anyway?"? Or HOW would I then access those buttons by keyboard, their underlined characters obviously not working anymore? (?)

2 again) And so, I changed the above (then working) bookmarklet's url to: javascript:document.getElementById("clearSiteDataButton").click(); and now, when I trigger that bookmarket on the about:preferences#privacy page, nothing happens:

Have I made a js mistake here? Or does FF simply prevents any FF user's try to protect themselves, with material-on-board?

(I understand I can just send a mouse click to that button by AutoHotkey or similar, and that's what I currently do, send a click to x1150, y1320 into the FF window, but obviously, those values depend on my screen (size, resolution, etc), and my hiding both the menu bar and the bookmarks toolbar...)

(We're not 3-years-olds, but perhaps, the FF CEO has such children at home, and then extrapolates for the masses of money she gets? And no, even without add-ins, and lots of memory, FF has NOT been brought to a rally stable state yet...)
