Firefox-Hilfeforum

Hello,

I'm not sure when it started, maybe a week ago. When I open firefox, I'm logged out of "most" of my accounts sometimes. I'll log back in and it will last a few browser closing and reopenings. Some websites seem to log out quicker, or it's possibly just random.

I've been using Firefox for a very long time and I've never had an issue like this. It's frustrating because I have to go through 2-factor each time a website logs me out. And so far, it hasn't happened to Discord in browser. It affects Gmail, Hotmail, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit.

I did not change any settings recently until after it started happening (I set "Enhanced Tracking Protection" to standard thinking it would help but it hasn't).

Thank you.

One feature at www.weather.com (Weather Channel) is their "weather in motion" feature which loads interactive weather radars. For some reason, this is not working on my Firefox browser. It works fine in Chrome and Edge. The weather.com website loads just fine but the radar data (overlay on a map) will not load. IT WORKS FINE IN SAFE MODE. So i tried to disable all of my plug-in's, extensions and hardware acceleration in Firefox in regular mode. Still doesn't work. I created a new profile. Still doesn't work. I disabled the tracker feature in Firefox on that web page. Still doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash. Still doesn't work. Any ideas???

Firefox version 82.0 64 bit Running Windows 10 Professional

On FF v78.0.2 (Win 10/64-bit), it used to be that I could open PDF links within a website using FF's built-in PDF Viewer. However, after saving them to disk, when I opened the PDF from the Downloads panel, it would open in my preferred 3rd party app. This was desired and worked perfectly.

But this seems to have changed! I either have to commit to the built-in always, or an external app always, irrespective of whether I am opening from a browser link or the download panel.

This is a terrible behavior. FF should open PDFs in the download handler (like ALL other file types there) with the OS's preferred PDF handler, which, in my case, is not FF's built-in Viewer.

If open a PDF in the built-in Viewer and save it from there, why would I want to re-open it in the built-in PDF viewer when opening from the download panel?

FF's built-in Viewer is great for a quick view of a PDF, I quite like it. But if I take the time to save it, I typically want more advanced functionality, like highlighting, filling in forms, etc. It worked perfectly before, please revert and stop fixing things that aren't broken. Or at least differentiate between the download panel and website links. Is there any hope in submitting a bug report?

Every search I perform using google is being hyjacked by yahoo. I have read that many other users are having the same problem. I have tried to follow the steps to remove the add-on or extension but when I click on "add-ons" or extensions from the menu it just opens a new blank tab in my browser. When I click on search in the preferences menu, google is the only search engine checked in all of my selections. Please help me get rid of the yahoo search.

It's a simple question: Why Firefox enforces by default extensions like Amazon, Bing, eBay, Google ? What really these extensions do?

Paradox#1: Firefox enforces to use those totally insecurity and unreliable companies! Paradox #2: Firefox don't even show those extensions mentioned above! Paradox #3: Even when I remove them from "Options->Search Engines" these ones keep being enabled and hidden! Paradox #4: Third party program needed to manage those Firefox hidden extensions! I Disable all above extensions by "CCleaner" and: Paradox #5: they comes back by default in every Firefox damn update!

I wish I'm wrong I would pleased if someone explain in an article, or even in few words, why all those. I think Mozilla should detailed explain.

Thanks in advance and Sorry for my English.

Hi, I am seeking a job and had a number of important tabs open when I had to restart my browser. Unfortunately, it was set to clear history on restart. Is there any way, on a windows10 pc, to recover them? Are they stored anywhere?

Over the last few days, my average donwload speed for files, applications or whatever ia arouns 200 kB/sec, but my internet is capable of 100 mb/s. This only started happening over the past few days. Why is this happening?

I installed the windows update for Windows 10 20H2, and I'm getting graphical artifacts on websites and firefox home page.

This can be see on google maps while moving around the map.

Tried on Microsoft edge and didn't happen

Is there an ETA to fix this?

My Firefox version is 83.0b2 (64-bit).

And I'm on the latest drivers for my graphics card.

Hi, Firefox desktop for win 10: Firefox works with this one exception... I downloaded two "self extracting" files from Nikon. When I double click on either or any file of this type using firefox, I get "some installation files are corrupt, please re-download" If I use Microsoft edge, the same files work, provided I select "unblock" in the files properties tab. (yes I do this for ff files too)

This did not happen months ago and I'm sure this is because Microsfot has changed something, which needs all browsers to adapt to. Thx

Hi everybody! This new function "picture in picture" is bothering and prenvents from concentrating on the main subject. I tried everything announced to stop it including menu > options > deactivate control... but it still invites itself, no possible control. How may I stop that completely??? tks Lionel

The letters in words are not uniform, one side, top or bottom is dark and the other is light. It makes it very hard to read. I've tried to copy something to show but can't. Even in what I'm typing here now I can see the difference. Like the p in copy is dark on one side and the other is light. This has happened before, but I can't seem to find or remember what I was told to do to fix it. The "e" had a dark straight line and the "c" part is light Very frustrating!

Hi, at our workplace we use Firefox exclusively for our point-of-sale system and as such, print lots of reciepts and labels. We updated Firefox to version 82.0 this morning and now nothing prints correctly by default. When opening print preview, no matter what, it's a blank page. I have adjusted the settings in about:config, reset the print settings, messed with margins, etc. Basically every possible suggested fix for the problem I could find. After multiple hours, we still cannot get anything to print from Firefox UNLESS you go into the print settings, and click "preferences" in the Windows dialogue box (even if you don't change a single thing), only then will it work perfectly every time. This isn't an acceptable option though as we need it to work rapidly and automatically each time though the browser.

Our printer is set up correctly, up to date drivers, etc. All programs in windows will print fine, Chrome and Edge print fine, so I'm assuming it's specifically a Firefox issue. This is a receipt printer, and I noticed Firefox defaults to 8.5x11 size paper despite it using standard 73mm receipt paper. But, like I said, no matter what the preview is a blank page and that's what prints.

I'm stumped on this one. Printer is a TSP100 if that matters. Help!!

I was having a problem where whenever i used google search, it would use yahoo instead. I saw a fix for this that resetting the browser is a way to fix it, but i need to get into troubleshooting information first. however, whenever i try to get into troubleshooting information, it sends me to a blank white tab with not url. I would really appreciate help because I'm getting annoyed with this.

Please bring back "exceptions" to security blocks.

We are being forced to use alternate browsers due to lack of connection exceptions. I could bring up and use a site, but could NOT cancel a monthly recurrent charged membership due to FF connection "security" impositions.

I had to use Microsoft Edge to stop my credit card from being charged.

When you do not allow exceptions, you are absolutely dictating what we are "allowed" to connect to, as well as forcing the use of other browsers.

If some people are too stupid to have internet security, and too stupid to know better than to go to websites they do not know to be secure, and make an exception anyway, So be it on them. The rest of us do not want to be handicapped, having to jump through hoops to complete our business.

After the latest Firefox update my Bixolon printer no longer prints receipts out of our Lightspeed POS system. It will print receipts if I am using Chrome or MS Edge so it is a Firefox problem. I tried the about:config, print_printer delete and still have the problem. If I go into Control Panel and do a test print it prints fine. This is a Firefox problem and I need a fix that works!
