Firefox-Hilfeforum

Can you suggest firefox browser settings that might be getting in my way? PNC bank suggested turning off my malwarebytes protection in order to use their site! Not an answer that makes sense to me.

I will also try to contact malwarebytes for their suggestions.

Thanks very much!

when i bookmark a location the 'New Bookmarks Editor Dialog Box' disappears before i can bookmark page. how can i change or disable the timer interval. this is VERY annoying behavior. is there a preference value in about:config that can address this issue? i think this behavior has been an issue for many, many years. thanks

When trying to save a bookmark, the menu used to select the folder no longer opens. The bookmark will just be saved in a folder that was selected before the update with this bug. But Firefox does not indicate which folder it was.

Help: The menue to choose a corresponding folder for a bookmark should be reactivated.

I use mozilla on two machines. They both have gotten to where they lock up when trying to access a second page. The normal place they lockup is "waiting nexusensighten.com". I talked with etrade and they had me try MS edge. It works without a problem. I've started having the same problem with yahoo mail.

I deleted cache and cookies numerous time. Etrade guy had me just type etrade.com to get started. It didn't help.

I update automatically. Thanks for your help.

I can't change the language my websites are being displayed in. I changed every setting to english but websites like instagram and youtube are still showing in croatian (because I live in Croatia). I will attach a couple of pictures to prove it.

We have released a browser add-on that works with apps using NativeMessaging, but it stopped working after updating Firefox to v114 on Windows 10 (64bit). We have confirmed that it works up to v113.0.1. The browser add-on manifest is v2. In the Mac version using the same browser add-on, the application can be linked even after updating to v114. The behavior of the bug on Windows is similar to the behavior when NativeMessagingHosts is not written in the registry. Is there any information about solutions to problems or causes?

Expected results: Launch app via NativeMessaging from browser addon

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64 rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0

So for the last little while, Facebook has been making a complete nuisance of itself on firefox. This isn't a browser problem, because the other tabs I have open work perfectly fine, but FB takes forever to load, and any button I press to interact with it, (like the reload button,) also lags, (but, again, works fine on other tabs,). It doesn't even register links as being clickable for a good minute after loading. The page also seems to reset every time I switch from another tab to it, showing a blank page with a loading symbol. I have tried deleting the entire history, and restarting the browser, and deactivating the adblocker, (the only extension active) and nothing seems to help. Does anybody know why it's doing this, (other than because the company follows the 'if it isn't broke, break it' theory, which we all already knew,) and how to fix it?

like the title says, i installed the latest Firefox update and my graphics driver started crashing every few minutes. tried updating my graphics card driver (Nvidia RTX3070) and tried to set the browser to software rendering, but nothing helps, it keeps going black and restart every few minutes.

There really should be a option to revert from a update, i had this a lot with Firefox, troubles after updates. And with no way to fix it, so i have to use another browser until it is fixed..kinda troublesome.

Hi

Automatic video play has been quite a nuisance in spite of using some recommended measures, such as under Firefox Settings => Privacy and Security => Permissions => Autoplay => both options set to Block Video & Audio and saving. The settings change does not appear to work.

Since I mostly use the Portableapps.com version of Firefox, I suspected it might be the issue, after noting once you restart Firefox, that the settings are both back to = Allow Video & Audio! I immediately checked out a separate standalone Firefox installation which I updated to 114.0 (64-bit), but to my dismay, noticed it does also not keep the preferred "Block Video and Audio" settings, also when the browser is restarted.

So is there a bug in the Windows versions I use on my Win 10 64bit and if not, which would be strange, what is going on, why are the settings not kept and how can effectively stop auto-play, which can be a nuisance.

An example of such videos is on Huffpost, such as https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jake-tapper-brianna-keilar-cnn-gop-race_n_647ece5ce4b0b4444c80b001 where the DeSantis video immediately loads and starts playing. The Settings save does not appear to work at all.

Thank you for you help.

Everything worked normally for me for 2 years, but recently i decided to reinstall windows. So i did it, downloaded firefox on raw system and now i get this error on some youtube videos. I tried everything i could find but nothing fixed this issue. It pops up with firefox account, without it, in private vindows, in regular ones, with addons, without them. I tried reinstalling firefox, i updated every driver, i use google DNS, but it still doesnt work. In edge, chrome etc. theese videos play fine

please note it seems possible that this category is specifically for download of firefox, this is not so. opting for this category given the possibility that that theory is mistaken, and due to not seeing any other category that might be more suitable

using firefox developer edition (also couldn't find an individual category for this), and when downloading any files, it saves automatically without asking where/what to name it etc., as preferred. but specifically for pdf files, it always opens them in a new tab upon completing the download; this can be very frustrating when downloading larger quantities, especially with it switching to that file tab and away from the source of downloading. firefox is not even the default for opening pdf in the first place

looked through preferences for anything (and tested anything that looks potentially relevant, to no avail), looked for a solution online from various sources and search methods, no dice

how can this be disabled?

Dear support, I'd like to ask you about auto-update option enabled in Mozilla Firefox. In our company we have Mozilla Firefox ESR onboarded and in use. One of our security report showed that Firefox version we use across company is vulnerable - because not all machines have the latest version installed. So I was a bit surprised because I know that auto-update is enabled for this application. I've checked it on my machine and I've got the latest version once I open Firefox and check via "About" button, right after that I've got the latest update installed. Together with my colleague we checked it on her machine whether it's really needed to check the version manually and then update is installed or is installed in the background and seems that my colleague got an update without manually checking the version, she just left the app open and after some time we checked the version and it was already updated.

My question is - is it enough to have Firefox open and it installed the latest version in the background without any action needed from user? Or user has to manually check the version and afterwards the update will be installed?

Another question I have, is the application vulnerable even if the app is not open?

Thank you in advance & BR

Firefox very often crashes on exit. It's been doing it for some time now, but am not sure exactly when it started.

I have updated to the latest version 113.0.2 (64 bit), am on Windows 10 which is also up to date. I have tried clearing the cache.

Latest report id is bp-b9101836-487e-483f-b16f-f86620230526

Not noticed before but when I right-click on the Firefox icon in the task bar, it pops up a list of recent browsing addresses, especially the ones that have started off as a i-click, browser tracking or whatever. I didn't think that they should be there as I have selected "always use Private Browsing" and my history is not being saved, or so I thought. These are active links. Clearing history, inc data and cookies doesn't remove these links. Nor does CCleaner or Bitdefender remove these. I want all history and cookies deleted when I exit the Browser. Apart from removing them individually by right-click, what do I do. It seems that Edge does the same on my partners laptop

Long story short I've lost about 30-40 tabs and can't get them back. What happened was that my computer was being strangely slow, so I opened task manager to close some stuff with one of them being firefox. I had about 6 windows open, 2 of them having a lot of tabs, the other 4 only having a few. Reopened firefox, click restore previous session and only 3 windows reopen. I've never had this before and am scrambling to try to fix it as the tabs/windows that did not reopen are the ones that were actually important. I've tried to use the scrounger thing that jscher2000 has suggested and haven't been able to find anything (I don't know much about code tho so could probably be missing something). I don't know what to do and am panicking a little as like I said, those windows that did not reopen were important. I'm trying to figure out if firefox saves older versions of the session restore .jsonlz4 files (besides the .baklz4) but they seem to just be overridden/deleted. Is there anything I can do or am I just screwed? Also recently closed windows and tabs options are empty when looking at the history tab, which has also never happened. New update today so could it be that that has caused this problem? Finally, I've looked at the Import and Backup -> Restore option, which has worked for me once when something similar happened, and between Saturday morning and now (Tuesday), there is nothing, which is odd as I close out all my tabs every night and this morning everything was restored perfectly. Yesterday is when I opened a lot of the important tabs for the one window, so could there be some kind of glitch occuring there? Any help would be appreciated Thanks

For over a year when i go to download something it defaults to the downloads folder instead of asking me where I wasnt to download. I'm about fed up with FF. it's been a great 10 years but this issue along with 80% of my sites not loading or working will lead to me jumping ship. Please help!

How do we disable "Thank you for loving Firefox" tab that keeps opening. Have tried several of the tips provided online but does not work. Deleted and re-installed Firefox and it this annoying tab still opens. Please advise how to fully disable or please resolve in next update. Have Firefox on several other computers and this does not open. Thanks!

hello team,

i have a question about feature in firefox, that is auto sleep tab. that's what i call it.

let me tell you first to get better understanding. so i'm work as a vendor for my client. and to connect to my client environment, usually i used remote desktop connection. there is firefox too but a little bit different. in remote desktop firefox, there is a feature auto sleep tab. so tab that hasn't been accessed in a few minutes will going to sleep state. but it's different with my local firefox. no matter how long I do not open the tab, it never goes to sleep state. i'm pretty sure i'm using latest version and same type of firefox. but why that feature doesn't exist in my firefox?
