Firefox Community Forum

Netzero says I am located in Phoenix, Az. I am in Tucson, Arizona. It won't let me change it. I have tried numerous times but to no avail. What is the solution to this? I am going crazy trying to rectify this on my own.

Playback of videos on the invideo.io site is not supported. Also the Tiktok account page for uploading videos says Firefox is not supported. Both sites recommend Chrome or Edge instead. I'm using the latest version on my laptop. Firefox is my default browser so would like these sites to work.

Starting maybe 2 months ago, when making online purchases, I could not enter a credit card number into the box to make a payment. (Name, address, etc is okay.) The cursor would not "register," & the box would be greyed out. I'm running Windows 11 Pro, Firefox 129.0.2. It's not my antivirus, because I can go to Microsoft's browser (ugh), & make my purchases. Ideas? Thanks!

Hi guys, Just wanting to know why the Captcha is so hard. I sometimes need to do the captcha 30-40 times. Can't there be a simpler way to do this. it's very frustrating when I google an address that I need to go to but it takes 15 minutes to get through the captcha. I end up closing Firefox & opening Chrome or Edge. Can something be done about this? Also, Captcha is not clear.. When it comes up with "Motorcycles" is the rider included in this? Or "Stairs" is the hand rail included in that? Please change it to make it simpler so I can continue using Firefox. I'm using Windows 10 on a computer.

Thanks guys

Why does attempt at loading a UK Government web page (https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/) produce a "Secure connectionn failed - Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR" message?

I managed to load the same web page by using Chrome.

Firefox freezes intermittently, and when I examine the situation with Windows' Task Manager, I see a large number of Firefox threads active while I have only two tabs in use, and memory usage running rapidly up to the 50-70% range (I have 16 GB). While I'm not qualified, it seems there may be a memory leak issue. The situation clears itself after a just few or a few tens of seconds, but then may recur within a minute or so. This started a few weeks ago, now happens almost daily and is making Firefox, my preferred browser, somewhat unusable.

My system: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Windows 10 Pro OS Build 19045.4842 Firefox Version 115? VPN Windscribe Version 2.10.16

Ever sense the last update when I try to log into quicken online or ga lottery online the user login page just siting there with the spinning blue circle and finally times out. This continues to happen even after clearing browser history. I tried to login to those same sites using another browser (Microsoft Edge) and they worked just fine with no issues.

Firefox is set to the English (UK) language on my Windows 10 PC but I occasionally see Spanish words shown after the English word. Eg. BBC News provides trusted World and UK noticias news as well as local and regional … The word (in this case "noticias" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. Here's another example "BBC Business brings you the latest in Business news and cobertura from … Again word (in this case "cobertura" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. I've tried all the settings that I can find in Firefox and everything is set to UK English.

I'm really shocked that the developers at Firefox has not at all fixed the memory leak issue, which caused my PC to crash three times in a row. This is clearly unacceptable; even other browsers I use don't eat up a lot of RAM in a matter of seconds that ends up my PC lagging, or worse, crashing as a result. To the Firefox devs; why are you overlooking an ongoing issue that should've been easily fixed from the get-go, especially with updates that obviously have nothing to do with the memory leak issue? It's really easy to make such a popular browser not hog up memory so easily without causing so much lag, even on higher end PCs.

If the memory leak issue isn't fully resolved by greatly reducing memory usage, especially if I'm only using one or two tabs with me, I will have to consider seeking for another working browser that does not have a memory leak issue, and remove Firefox and never reinstall it altogether.

Hi!

I've been browsing the web looking for a way to access the browser's current profile name programmatically. I'm writing a little browser extension that should run code conditionally depending on what the current profile is. I'm wondering if there's any way to do this? The closest thing I found was runtime.getBrowserInfo() runtime.getBrowserInfo().

Lately I have been having trouble signing into websites, including the website I administer. When trying to put in my user name or password, I get a message saying: Something's gone wrong. Please try again later." I do try later, and the same thing happens. However, I have no trouble signing into these sites on Opera.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

i received a secure connection failed message when trying to load one of my favorite sites You say to contact the site about the message, but there is no way to bypass the message to contact them This logic defies all description I share no personal info with this site, its just reading material How can I get to this site?

google apps block pops up in upper right corner of gmail each time I change focus without selecting it

I have cleared cache and history. Still pops up. This happened after the last update to Firefox.

Firefox is adding empty lines to the css file in web developer like so:

1. videoFiles {

 left: 0;
 z-index: 3;
 width: 250px;
 height: 40px;
 opacity: 0;
 cursor: pointer;

}

1. image_files {

 height: 40px;
 width: 250px;
 z-index: 3;
 opacity: 0;
 cursor: pointer;

}

.previewVid {

 width: 50%;
 padding: 10px;

}

Those empty lines are not in the css file and so it is reporting the wrong line numbers. So hard to find the correct line in the actual file.

I want to link my Firefox Account between my iPhone X Device and my Dell Laptop. I need to know how to do that in detail.

Note: I tried opening the menu and clicking sync and save, but I couldn’t see it on the menu, the same thing happened when I looked, as advised, when looking for Ready to scan; I couldn’t see it on the menu !

Kindly explain what should I do in clear step by step detail, as pertaining to these two devices which I am trying to link.

Thanks and my regards.

I accidentally closed Firefox with about 100 tabs open (doing research). I still had one ff window open with only one tab and I went to History (there is no session restore on my firefox-been thru that before) and selected restore recent tabs. That only opened about 10 tabs . BUT, now that becomes my " previous session" so how do I get my earlier session back. If I close FF and then open, all I get is that window with 10 useless tabs. This has happened before so I have FF set as default, and "open to previous window/tabs is selected". So how do I get my previous session open?
