Firefox-Hilfeforum

I am going crazy as I have somehow lost the ability to copy and paste anything from a Firefox window or address bar into another document ie... email, word, text edit, atom—nothing.

I have tried the About:config solution to no avail. Sometimes the copy and paste will work for a minute or so when opening Firefox, but it quickly degrades.

I have looked into settings for the browser as well and I can't find anything that would affect copy and paste. This change seemed to have happen a few weeks ago with an update that was released.

What is happening?!?!?!

I am building a website and, for the last couple of days, when I make changes to the CSS file they are no longer being picked up by the browser by which I mean they aren't displayed in the web page nor in the developer tools inspector.

They are visible in Chromium browser and dev tools.

I have cleared the cache and refreshed the page to no avail. It is only when I restart the browser that the new style rules take effect in the browser and show up in the dev tools.

Since FF updated to v 74 last week, I have not been able to access my Gmail. All other Google apps work OK ( e.g. Maps. Drive, Photos, YouTube, etc.) but not Gmail, Gmail works OK on Chrome and Opera. Gmail was working fine before this last update. All I get now is a blank white page and the FF icon with "New Tab" in the Tab label at the top of the page.

Update notifications pop up all the time and I don't want to update right now.

I know you would not recommend neglecting to update but this is my choice. I don't want update notifications popping up all the time.

This is extremely irritating.

Hello,

It's been a while since the release date of chromecast on browsers.. Today, year 2020, all the chromium based browsers add chromecast (Edge, brave, chrome, etc..). My favorite browser is firefox, and i am forced to use a chromium based browser to cast to my androidTV's. Sometimes i think to leave this browser and use a chromium based all the time.

I searched and installed chromecast extension to firefox and nothing works to me, and they are not user frindly as chromecast extension on chrome.

Can you tell me if you even think in add a chromecast extension in firefox by default?

Thanks,

Fabio BISPO

We made some private movies with an older camera and these have the extension MOV. I uploaded them to the site of my wife. One of them:

http://www.aleksandra.nl/temp/BaltissenWianki.MOV

The main problem: when opening it with Firefox, it starts to play immidiatly, but without sound.

A second problem: FF starts the movie without asking me and I would like to change that behavior so that it asks me what to do with this file. I know it should be changed in options but "MOV" is not listed and I have no idea how to add it.

Thank you for you help!

Kind regards, Ruud Baltissen

I do not get aselection of printers to print with. I only get one of my online printers. None of MS printers i.e PDF to file etc. I have seven printers in all in the devices file of setup

The attached images say it all. I'm working with a week-old install of 78.0.2 on my MacBook Pro, and even when I restart with add-ons disabled I'm having this issue on elements of just about webpage I visit, including the dropdown menu here.Why is Firefox doing this?

I deleted a Firefox profile while troubleshooting a selenium/geckodriver issue. Doing so deleted many unrelated folders and files, but long story short my Python folder was obliterated but for a single file called vcruntime140_1.dll. It also rendered Firefox unusable.

I reinstalled Firefox with no success. I tried the refresh option from the installer instead — no success. I deleted everything I could find in regedit and my C: drive (no clue why several folders are left behind after uninstalling...). Re-install still failed: during all attempts I could open a Firefox window but I couldn't do anything within.

On a hunch I went into my recycling bin and restored the vcruntime140_1.dll that I had deleted, and Firefox started working again. I moved it from my Python folder (cause surely it doesn't belong there, apparently it's a Microsoft file) and Firefox stopped working...

I want to know where this .dll actually belongs, and if possible I would like to know a way to obliterate Firefox from my PC. Uninstalling should accomplish that, but sadly does not. Any other advice/commentary is welcome.

I realize this may be trivial, but I like it when things work the way they're supposed to. The Google calendar favicon has a number in it that is supposed to be today's date. It is never correct. The calendar itself is correct, but not the favicon. See attached screenshot. Today is the 28th, which the calendar correctly says, but the favicon says '14.' I tried it in Chrome, and it works correctly. So, there may be something FF (78) or one of my add-ons that is blocking that information. How do I track it down and correct it?

Pointofmail track emails messages sent in Gmail. They have prevented messages being sent. They do not provide a telephone number to call nor a street address. They have an email address (support@pointofmail.com) but don't respond to anything. The problem arose when I took up a free 30 day trial with their product, after which I did not wish to subscirbe. There is nowhere giving the "no thanks" option. Do you know how I can free myself from Pointofmail when Gmail is used in Firefox? Gmail works OK in other browsers (Thunderbird and Google). Please advise.

Firefox opening a new browser/window jscher2000 Jul 27, 2020, 1:44:29 AM

Hi Irv, you definitely have multiple Firefox profiles, but what I wonder is whether you might have multiple installations of Firefox. In each of the different windows, could you call up the Troubleshooting Information page. Either:

   "3-bar" menu button > "?" Help > Troubleshooting Information
   (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
   type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter 

In the first table on the page, please compare: (1) Application Binary row Where is your main installation and where is the other one? For example:

   Current 64-bit program folder: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
   Legacy 32-bit program folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe 

Do you have multiple installations? (2) Profile Folder row The part after the last . is the most interesting part. Please make a note of the name of your main profile for future reference.

First, thank you for your response. Second, I have attached jpegs from each of the Troubleshooting pages and a word doc of the lines that were asked in them. The profile I want to keep, of course, is the one from the taskbar. Now do I just delete the profile of the desktop icon for its location to get rid of it?

Thanks again for the assistance, Irv
