Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

Hi there,

 I'm running the latest Firefox here on my trusty old Intel Mac Pro on Big Sur. Keeps on truckin'. However, just now I looked and the Mac said it had "Rebooted because of a problem". All my open tabs came right back up in Firefox and my Search History is fine. But when I click on the Address Bar I no longer get the list of top sites that I often visit, NY Times, banking, social media, etc. Why would that suddenly just disappear, and how can I get it back?
 Thanks for any tips! - Steve

My Macbook wasn't responding, so I restarted it and force quit all applications. When I opened Firefox again, none of my bookmarks showed on my bookmarks bar. The bar itself is not hidden. I checked to make sure I have the same profile I always use open and I do. I also tried to go into Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks, Import, but nothing is available to import.

Recently Yahoo News loads and disappears running Firefox on MAC. I cleared the cookies in the settings but the problem still exists. There is no issues with Yahoo News running on Safari but Firefox has been my choice for years. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Keep getting prompted to active VPN but every time I try it just keeps looping back to the sign in start pop up. The VPN button is always gray with an X even after sign in.

I try to compose an e-mail and the address appears from contact list but when you click on it to put in the address in displaces the first two letters and a cross in red. the adress does not work therfore and Ihave to typr it in every time. Very annoying if there are multiple p[eople to send the message t@!'

Hey,

after looking through many Forums and solutions on the internet, nothing can resolve my issue, so i hope this one can help. I just switched to Firefox and have the reaccuring problem, that i cannot load sites, that are located in my local network (e.g. homeassistant.local; 192.168.8.265:2283).

I always get a "server not found" error from firefox and the certificate information, that i am communicating through an unsecured connection (haha, yes good joke firefox. I know my local services do not all have an SSL certificate.) I already tried altering settings for Proxy, DNS over https, MACos Safety settings but nothing helps. I am jsut looking for that one "trust this domain" button, that i get on 'ALL OTHER BROWSERS like Chrome, Safari and Edge...

P.S.: All the services are up and running and i can reach them through any other Browser.

In previous versions of Firefox, using an alternative search engine was seamless: I just typed my keywords and clicked the specific search engine icon.

With the current update, the workflow is much longer. Now I have to:

1. Type the keywords 2. Click the dropdown arrow 3. Select the alternative search engine icon 4. Hit Enter

Why was this UX change made? It feels like a step backward.

i used to be able to access Gemini by clicking an icon in the leftmost column of any Firfox screen. I nw get an error 502 message. How can restore access to Gemini

When opening websites the images are not opening, only blank boxes appear. I don't have any settings for security causing problems because I turned them off previously. simply cannot find what is driving this. Thanks, Don

Hi there.

Since quite a while Firefox is trying to enhance our browsing security by "upgrading" connections from "http" to "https." This may generally be a good idea, but it is literally driving me crazy at the moment because it also does so for "internal" sites I host within my LAN (such as my "Home Assistant" instance or a Zigbee coordinator, accessible via its own hostname and web UI). However, these connections will fail, because I don't have certificates for my internal hosts, and thus there is no "https" listener. :-(

(I use my own subdomain "<host>.city.internal.example.org" internally, so Firefox may be confused?)

I feel this behavior has become "more aggressive" within the last few days, so maybe it is due to a Firefox update?

Is there a bullet-proof way to prevent Firefox from doing so?

I've already set the below options to false: - dom.security.https_first - dom.security.https_first_for_custom_ports - dom.security.https_first_for_local_addresses - dom.security.https_first_for_unknown_suffixes - dom.security.https_first_pbm - dom.security.https_first_schemeless - dom.security.https_only_mode - dom.security.https_only_mode.upgrade_local - dom.security.https_only_mode_pbm

Help, please!

I'm close to abandoning Firefox in favor of a different browser, because at the moment it's close to being unusable for me anymore... :-(

Kind regards,

Ralf

When opening the "Show all history" window (command Y) the text is garbled. I have checked the font book and there are no duplicated and I have validated all fonts. I have tried using the troubleshoot mode and occasionally the text is rendered correctly but mostly it has no effect. There is no other location in the browser where the text is garbled. I have tried changing the text in the advanced settings and both performance settings are disabled.

When using the built-in Firefox AI sidebar and clicking the "Summarize page" button, I consistently get the error: "431 Request Header Fields Too Large" from chatgpt.com.

Cookies were cleared multiple times Extensions (including AdGuard) were disabled The issue persists

Previously, changing a privacy setting temporarily helped: switching from "block all cross-site cookies" to "block cross-site tracking cookies and isolate other cross-site cookies". After that, the feature started working.

However, after restarting the browser today, the issue returned, and changing this setting no longer helps.

I would also like to note that currently there is no way to disable or hide the "Summarize page" button, even though I did not need it initially. I tried to configure things so it would work properly, but was unable to do so.

Steps to reproduce:

Open any webpage Open the Firefox AI sidebar Click "Summarize page" Observe error 431

Expected behavior: Page summary should be generated successfully.

Actual behavior: The request fails with HTTP 431 error.
