UPDATE - - problem solved - - Using Firefox Troubleshooting Mode I found that the problem was ''''caused by an added extension '''' which has been turned off (I hope) One thing I don't understand though is that I fixed this in Firefox but it also fixed it in Chrome. All images show up in both, so how does one browser fix a second browser? I have yet to check Safari but I never use that one anyway, so I'm not going to push my luck! Thanks Terry.

- - - I have a LOT (hundreds) of images that do not show up on many pages and each one is labeled,

403 Forbidden in the Network Monitor.

There are images that do show up on the same pages and the amount varies.

Those are labeled with a green 200.

What causes this and how can I fix it so they all show on the pages?

and do I have to fix each and every one? That would take months.

Thanks

I don't know the correct name for my problem. I have been trying to display an email collection form (newsletter sign-up) from Mailerlite at my website, virginiasanderson.com, on Wordpress. The form displays on my Android/Samsung phone and on Chrome, but will not display on Firefox. I spent considerable time struggling, with help from Mailerlite, before I realized the problem was Firefox. I have tried turning off Enhanced Protection. The form is an embedded form, not a pop-up, but I also allowed pop-ups for the site. I must have some other setting that is preventing these forms from working on Firefox. I much prefer Firefox to other options, but this may be a deal-breaker when it comes to continuing to build my site. Please help.

I am unable to disable the Inline Playback on YouTube when using Firefox ver 115.2.0esr (64-bit).

The Inline Playback is set to : Off

But when hovering the mouse of the thumbnail video it starts playing the video.

Is the another setting to disable Inline Playback when using Firefox?

This morning I received an email stating: If you are running a version of Firefox equal to or older than Firefox 78 (general release or ESR) and you have a Mozilla account, you must follow these steps to ensure continued operation of your account in Firefox: I have firefox 115.7.0esr (64-bit) running on a mid 2010 macBookPro with High Sierra OS 10.13.6

My question: what does this mean? Is my FF equal or older? And is a Mozilla account the same as a FF account? PLEASE help me, by explaining exactly what I'm supposed to do and HOW and reply in simple comprehensible language, I am NOT a tech/nerd/geek and already following all these numbers has given me a headache! Thanks in advance.

I am getting SO tired of being told to stop or close the page THAT I AM USING to speed up my browser. How is that going to help anything? If I stop the page that I am USING, then I cannot do what I want to do. How about you stop cramming in so much garbage that the browser cannot run properly?

And, yes, I know...this is an obsolete computer....so what?

Hi, Ive got FF version 115.2.1esr 64bit- Macbook Pro High Sierra.. I was watching amazon shows and movies until last night, started to get the message from Amazon, "Video Unavailable- We're experiencing a problem playing this video, for assistance, etc..." I pulled up Chrome and the movies are playing just fine there. I put FF in 'safe mode' and the video is playing, so what does this tell me? If I can play the movie in safe mode why not in regular mode? Keep in mind that I was watching other movies earlier in the day and nothing changed during the day, I didnt download anything new, just business as usual. So what do I do now if the vid plays in safe mode and not the regular mode?

Thanks very much for any help.

Hello, FireFox Updated my 17" MacBook Pro- High Sierra on July 30, 2023 successfully to 115.03. There was another update today Aug 1st 115.1esr, which said it Failed for an unknown reason. Can anyone tell me how I can find out what happened? See attached update message.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am using an iMac that uses MacOS High Sierra version 10.13.6. Because of its age, it cannot use an operating system beyond High Sierra. When I selected to update Firefox today, Apple generated a message that said Firefox would no longer work on my computer. Firefox 102.14 Oesr (64-bit) is installed and seems to work.

Will I no longer be able to update Firefox?

I'm running FF 115.8.0esr on MacOS High SIerra 10.13.6. (desktop). I generally sleep the computer rather than shutting down each day.

The problem - If I have restarted the computer or restarted FF, I can play video and audio OK. Mostly I will find that I can still play for a day or so (even having slept the computer). Then they stop. Opening a new window or a private window doesn't help, the only solution is to restart FF or the computer. All the while, I can get the same video/audio to play on Safari, and Apple iTunes is fine too. It doesn't matter what the source is - YT, Spotify BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds and so on.

Would really like some help on this!

The fundamental nature of dementia and Alzheimers is that the victim cannot remember new information. But for some time they can recall information and processes which were learned previously.

After some years, they will be unable to utilize any of the technology they depend upon - they will not be able to turn on their device to make a phone call. They won't be able to locate the menu they need to utilize. Because all that changes CONSTANTLY. They will become helpless sooner than necessary. They will strain their families and the taxpayer sooner than necessary.

The only solution is for software makers to roll out, every 5 or 6 years, a "stable version" where the user interface will not change one iota for 25 years. Of course, they must still make internal updates for security and changes in the Internet Protocol layer system. The portions of the code that deal with the user must be modular to be plugged into newer hardware and communication protocols.

When someone is diagnosed with memory impairment, they will have time to learn the latest Stable Version.

This is a very fundamental change to business as usual, but there is no other solution other than continuing to balloon the cost of elder car.

In the old days this would be a call for an RFP...

Hello, I've been unable to access google mail/drive recently, w error code SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER and certificate issuer CISCO. i don't have any antivirus software, I've tried resetting the proxy, clearing cache, reinstalling Firefox, nothing works. If this continues I'll have to definitely move to another browser - with which I have no problem accessing those sites... Help please? Thanks

I have the latest version of Firefox installed on my iMac and my MacBook Air, and even though I'm signed into my same Firefox account on both, and have synced bookmarks on both, the bookmarks on my toolbar on each device are different.

How do I get the same Toolbar bookmarks on both devices?

Have consistently had issues with Firefox not playing streaming video. This has persisted through a couple of updates. It was working for a long time on this channel (https://www.twitch.tv/mst3k) but has been failing constantly and had to switch to Chrome to view the stream. Any suggestions for a fix? Dave

Why does update not update from 115.0.3 to 115.3.1esr when told to update and continues to throw up update notices? What can be done about it?

There an issue with preference panel: security settings. The vertical scroll bar disappears spontaneously to it is hard to scroll down to the memory related control elements.
