typing in the search window in the middle of the page jumps to the address bar at the top of the page How do I stop that? It does not matter which search engine I use Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, It just started happening in Firefox.

OS - LinuxLite 6.4 fully updated as of this writing FF - 117.0

I just created a new installation of LinuxLite. Upon finding that Firefox was no longer the default browser I installed it. Apparently snapd is a pre-req and it too was installed. The installer does not automatically create a link to launch it and I have to do a search for FF. When I launch it, it seems to run fine. However when I try to restore my bookmarks from a recently created backup, which came from another system, I cannot. From bookmark manager when I select restore and then choose file, nothing happens. No popup window to select the file appears. Likewise when I try to import from an HTML file and choose file, again nothing happens. I imported the bookmarks to Chrome from the HTML file then tried to have FF import from another browser but FF says it can find NO other browser with bookmark, history or password data. Any suggestions?

I've always upkept my userChrome.css with two main effects in mind:

- tabs on bottom - general transparency of the bars

The latest update luckily spared both (it actually turned the tabs' close button red, but whatever...) but, now, 3 icons that I had placed on the right end of the tab bar have disappeared; I've already checked the toolbar customization menu, but they haven't been moved there. Anyway, this time I haven't been able to solve it on my own, unfortunately...

My current userChrome.css is: https://pastebin.com/FhqK2BWu

And my "special" about:config settings, which I've customized over the years to set everything back to how it looked before the progressive updates, are: https://pastebin.com/qVDsQ2T3

Can anyone please suggest a solution? Thanks for your attention!

I'm not able to log into at least two different websites after installing Firefox on a brand new computer (e.g., actblue.com). The page merely reloads as if I didn't enter the log in information correctly.

• The websites log in just fine on Chrome, so I know it's not an issue with the websites per se. So it seems to be limited to only when I use the Firefox browser.
• I've disabled extensions, removed them, and tested in Safe Mode, but the problem persists. That leads me to believe the problem is something with the Firefox browser specifically.
• Cookie restrictions are only on Standard, not Strict; I even using a Custom setting to allow cookies to be tracked.
• I've tried clearing the cache and cookies.
• I've deleted the cookie file, thinking it might be corrupted.
• I've restarted Firefox several times.
• I've restarted the laptop twice.

None of that has worked. I'm out of ideas.

What is the solution to the following problem? PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

This issue has been reported many times. It has been occurring quite frequently, to the point where I've had to abandon Firefox and use a different browser.

Skipping/seeking videos on Twitter creates blocky artifacts. Attached is an image side by side of the video open in Firefox and in Chrome after being skipped to the same timestamp. Issue also does not occur on Microsoft Edge. All browsers have Hardware Acceleration enabled. Is there a fix?

Greetings, I have a website for my small business and I do a newsletter for my customers. The newsletter includes links to my home page, which is a fully qualified domain, https://www.prettypennydesigns.net/ When I check my newsletter, the link to my website goes to Firefox's home page. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I also have a link to my contact page and that link does work. Thank you so much for any help!

HI. I recently purchased a new laptop and have Windows 11 Home (64 bit) installed. I installed the latest version of Firefox (v117). I am attempting to copy the bookmarks from another laptop - same version of Windows and the same version of Firefox. 1. I exported the toolbar bookmarks from old laptop which created an HTML file - file type shows as

   Firefox HTML Document.

2. On the new laptop I went through the process, Manage bookmarks,

     highlighted the Bookmarks Toolbar, selected  Import bookmarks from HTML, selected the file I wanted
     then 'OPENED'  the file I wanted to use. 

3. The process ended very quickly, file was not large. I clicked on the HOME icon and NO bookmarks

    were displayed on the toolbar, no bookmarks in the Other Bookmarks either. 

4. The only change was - all bookmarks from the old laptop were listed under 'Recent bookmarks' which

    made no sense since I had not visited them on the new laptop. 

5. I went through the process twice and I now see duplicate entries in the 'Recent bookmarks', no bookmarks.

So, what have I missed or does the export / import process simply not work? I have not tried the backup / restore process since this is the all or nothing approach and I may want to copy a few bookmarks in the future using the export / import process.

Does anyone have any ideas since I'm stopped at this point in time.

thanks B

I use an translator extension for firefox for russian so I do not need this integrated tool and it's annoying to see it everytime I open a russian page. Please help me, I don't know what the source is of this translator but I can tell it's not from an extensions as I deleted every extension and tried, not worked.

Private Browsing does not allow logon connection to USAA.com (banking portal). I have to change my security settings down to Standard. Strict does not work. Vanguard and Schwab seem to work. Please fix this.

HTTPS://SECURE.SSA.GOV open okay but when go to next page to SIGN-IN, Firefox is blocking it as following/below. What the heck is going on blocking SSA Sign-In after main Website is already open ?!?!?!?!?!

"Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to secure.ssa.gov. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

After a recent update from Mozilla Firefox, I have these pop up windows that slide out from the bottom right of the screen of my laptop.

They stay there and interfere when I try to use the slider on the right hand side of the screen. Even inactivating my cursor. I have to click onto the pop up box to make it go away. Sometimes it takes me to a stupid article about Harry & Megan or some inane story.

How do I get rid of this? (I need step-by-step instructions please)

I'll NEVER upload another Mozilla Firefox update.

I might find another browser to use.

When is Firefox going to solve the "Text in certain web pages became invisible"? I have a long list of webpages that I have been collecting for a couple of years that have text that is invisible unless one uses Ctl-A to select all the text on the page. It's probably over 20 items long. The last one I found is unfortunately all the pages of an ebook that I have to read online using the publisher's ebook app that is not downloadable. It's a medical book with a lot of illustrations and charts. I gave up and opened the "hated" MS browser Edge.

I have the latest version of Firefox--"117.0 (64-bit)".
