Firefox-Hilfeforum

For years I have been using Firefox. If I clicked on a hyperlink in any of my programs, Outlook messages, websites etc, Firefox opened a new tab. That behaviour has suddenly stopped for websites including this one occasionally. It seems to still work for Outlook. Has Firefox changed its policy?

The advice on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1283295 is to edit browser.link.open_newwindow (3) 1:current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab; But that is already set to 3.

What other settings might work? And why has this been changed?

I have English and German installed in Windows and Firefox (Well and Russian, but Russian does not give any issues) English is set as system language in Windows. English is set as the preferred Menu and Content Language in Firefox. The menu is displayed in English as it should be.

Problem now is, some Firefox messages, i.g. the message that a website is asking me to confirm I want to leave, is in German, for apparently no reason. Even on English websites. It's not a major inconvenience, just weird.

I attempted to remove German from the alternative menu languages, for testing, but cannot. English and German both cannot be removed. A third language I add randomly can be removed.

I am aware that the locale I downloaded Firefox in cannot be removed, but I hardly downloaded Firefox in two Locales at the same time, did I? From what I can see I originally probably downloaded German Locale, since English is listed under Language Add-ons.

So what I am curious about is, how is it possible that Firefox gives me part of the menu/browser messages in English and parts of it in German? Does the English Language lack some translations? Hardly I'd guess. And why do I have two languages I cannot remove?

I know and admit I stuffed up.

One day a long time ago I was prompted for my master password.

When I clicked in that area/field a requester popped up asking me to pick a colour. Confused I picked one - and a bad one I now see.

So now when certain parts of a web page are opened the background colour is this horrible colour and I can't really read what is there.

I don't understand what I did or HOW I did it.

This is a cropped example of the bad contrast I am seeing.

As I said, I admit I stuffed up. But this seems to all have happened since that one time with the main password requester.

I have two desktop computers and both Firefox accounts are in my name. I have had this site up for years. Now when I click on one specific web site it won't come up unless I got to Firefox's web browser and click on the three bars, and under my name click on sync now. Then the site comes up. The problem is I have to do this each time, on each computer. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting to no avail. Help.

i just noticed the other day that everything is now in dark mode youtube/google etc.. i want to keep my theme with a dark upper portion but want the screen to be white again.the only temporary fix is to chage the them to all white. this is anoying me is there a way to get this forced dark screen back to what it was or to revert to a previous version of firefox? any help would be great! i did several searches to no avail. thank you!

Crash also happens when passed the argument `-safe-mode`. Does not happen in new profile. Crash happens both in v96.0.1 and after downgrading to v95.0.1. Console output mentions "Exiting due to channel error." I have not been able to find a way of increasing output verbosity.

$ firefox

I have encountered a frustrating situation on several websites for quite some time now. I have tried to find out what is wrong but haven't been able to get an answer so I hope someone here can help me.

When I am on certain websites I am unable, for example, to watch a video or log in on a site if I decide to make a purchase. For instance, I receive channel 6ABCnews which I can read with no problem but if I want to watch one of their videos I have to switch to Chrome before it will play. Or I can look at items for sale on shopDisney but if I decide to buy something, I can't sign in unless I use Chrome. There is another online store that will let me see certain things (such as the return policy or how to order online) but it won't let me see their products unless I switch to Chrome. One last example has to do with my local newspaper. I can read the entire digital edition but if I try to place an ad (without ever leaving the site) I have to use Chrome. I attempted to upload images of the ad order form as it should look (when I use Chrome) and how it looks when using Firefox. Unfortunately, the Chrome image wouldn't upload.

Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? And is there anything I can do about it? I refuse to make Chrome my default browser which would appear to be the easiest solution.

Thank you!

Hi, I'm very lost as to why Firefox has suddenly starting crashing on me very frequently over the past 3 or so days, after Firefox's latest update. I first noticed it when I tried watching streams on Twitch, then I also noticed it on YouTube, and then when casually browsing Reddit. I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps:

• I've made sure Windows is up to date
• Firefox is up to date
• My drivers are all up to date
• There are no viruses/malware/any issues with my firewall settings and computer security, I've tested and checked everything
• The crashes DO still happen in Troubleshooting Mode
• I've checked my RAM using Windows Memory Diagnostic for errors and there are none
• I've refreshed Firefox, I've cleared my cache, I've done an entire clean uninstall and reinstall of Firefox
• I'm able to watch streams, videos, and browse Reddit just fine on my other devices and on Google Chrome. This is only an issue I'm encountering with Firefox, which is super disappointing because I've never had a single issue in the past several years I've been using it as my browser ):

I've submitted so many crash reports because it's been crashing so often, but here's the Report ID of the most recent: bp-0b0dac91-ec69-4c9e-a8c0-a622b0220116

I'm so confused and have no idea why this is happening. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Whenever I close Firefox and restart it I find that my browser is set to dark mode every time, I discovered that the culprit in my congif is the line "browser.theme.toolbar-theme" which sets itself to 0 every time I start firefox. Despite every time I change it back to 1 so that I keep light mode on. Is there any solution to this or maybe a way I can reset my about:config back to default as a nuclear option? I'd rather not lose all my tabs if possible but this is quite annoying.

Is there any way to enable/disable the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" setting on a per-site basis? Thanks.

I prefer Firefox browser on my computer - currently using 96.0.1

 a month or so ago, when logged in to godaddy email workspace, the subject line cursor won't stay in place.

I'll type a word then space resulting in the cursor jumping to the front of the line of text. Sometimes it jumps after the first letter but always with the space bar and only in the subject line of this website.

If I type a word in the subject line, then space, the cursor moves to the front of the line of text... if I continue typing there and use the space bar the cursor doesn't jump. But if I move the cursor behind the first word and space, type another word and space it jumps again.

I worked with godaddy on the issue... after troubleshooting various browsers (this only happens when using Firefox) and other things they asked me to do they point the finger at Firefox. I hope this can be figured out, I do not want to use Chrome for email. thanks!

With W10 set to Dark Mode and Firefox set to Dark Mode, I am unable to discern the active tab from the others at the top. There should be an outline or color difference for the active tab to make switching to another chosen tab easy. I am forced to change the Firefox Theme to one that actually does this. I don't understand why the default dark theme in Firefox doesn't do this. Will there be a change in the next version?

The example playlist is at Black Sabbath Live Album "The End" - playlist.

It plays only the first video that's landed at, the rest are re-loaded and skipped one after another.

My username is anonymized in the troubleshooting log.

Hello, I hope this message finds you and the entire team as well as your loved ones safe and well. Yesterday after I restarted my computer, either firefox keeps crashing or a signle tab will crash . Please find screengrab attached.

Thank you for your help and time.

Kind regards, Alexander Norton

I have Windows 10. Since the last update Firefox has been running very slowly, and scrolling is nearly impossible. I have done everything suggested in troubleshooting including refreshing and and eliminating startup cache. Still Firefox will only run normally in troubleshoot mode. This is true on my desktop in my office. My laptop at home won't scroll in PDF using the up and down buttons but will still do so with the mouse. Other than that, it still runs at the normal speed. At my office I'm using version 96.0.1 (64 bit); I'm not at home to check my laptop.

Videos using this browser ave been running slow and hang on initial startup, loading for some time before finally playing. Other browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are running fine without issue. Please help with any tips or troubleshooting you may have to help get this browser working properly

How do I switch from light to dark mode? I've been using the same theme for a while now and up until the update it was defaulted in light mode but now it's in dark mode. How do I change my webpages to be defaulted in light mode?

address bar turned pink and has a robot on the left hand side of the address bar??

ive refreshed and reinstalled, neither has worked.

What is it ?

I cannot login to the Synchrony web site to access my account using Firefox.

Also

When using my credit union website unable to access parts of the website to redeem cc points.

In both instances was told to use Google Chrome.

Is there something wrong with Firefox or is the issue with the website and the way they code the application?

Thanks.

I enabled print both sides but it only printed one side. Chrome printed both sides. In reading the blogs about printing issues there are a lot printing issues some similar to mine. See attached screen shot
