Firefox Community Forum

I was browsing normally when suddenly the right click menu stoped doing anything. If I right click it still opens but nothing I click on does anything. I can't copy, paste, open a link in a new tab etc. It also appears to have new options on the menu that I don't recognise. I have no extentions or pluggins exept what comes default so I doubt it's that.

I tried in another browser and it worked fine so it's just firefox.

Dear,

Since two days, my firefow desktop browser (windows 11 - surface pro) switches to tablet mode (larger address bar suggestions etc) when the computer should be in desktop mode.

Situation: - Surface tablet without type cover connected - docking sation usb -c - 2 external displays connected - bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected

Windows recognizes 'desktop mode' since all menus (taskbar e.g.) are behaving in desktop mode (not larger). However, Firefox for some reason switches to tablet mode (see image attached). When I connect the typecover keyboard, firefox switches to desktop mode.

So it seems as if FF thinks the PC should be in tablet mode because the typecover is not connected. But it shouldn't because a dock is connected.

It worked perfectly for years, but since two days not anymore. It is not a major issue, but rather inconvenient. I already restarted PC and reinstalled FF.

kind regards

I received the following error message when trying to connect with a site which I have been using for several years. The advice below the error message directs me to contact the site owner, but I can't do so if Firefox will not let me access the site. What to do?

When attempting to perform a google search, if I include the text "c++" in my search, the "++" is always chopped off. It doesn't matter where it is in the search text and also happens if it is the only thing in the search. This also happens if i choose a suggested search topic that has the ++ in the search topic. I do not experience this with Edge and i do not experience this with Firefox installed on another computer. I am signed into the same profile with both computers. I am running Windows 11.

I can repro this issue with +, #, and &. Other special characters seem fine.

Since a couple of weeks, FireFox wil not open all frames locally from my website, but from the Internet it works just fine. When I work with my homepage, I test changes locally before publishing them. It works fine with Chrome, Edge, Brave and other bworsers. It's probably just a setting, but if anything, I have given more permits lately and not made restrictions. Anyway - I cannot find any setting, that should affect this. I have attached two images to illustrate the predicament, I'm in. frames1.png show the way I have organisted my pages. A frame at the top for overall navigation. A frame to the left that navigates the main-pages to the right. If I click on a link in the left pane, the main page no longer changes. frames2.png shows an actual example page. Windows 10 and Firefox latest version.

Firefox freezes when signing in/typing username during the Gmail sign-in. Since the V..0 release, Firefox crashes every time I sign in to Gmail. I have already disabled all add-ons and tried signing in in safe mode, but the issue persists. As soon as I start typing the third letter in the sign-in field, Firefox freezes.

Firefox just updated. Now when I go to a website, right-click a link, and choose open in a new tab or window,it does nothing. If I left-click the link I can get to it in the same window, but when I go back to the originating page, it seldom takes me to back to where I started (which is why I prefer to open a new tab.)

The right-click menu itself looks wonky: There's blank spaces at the top, far too many options appearing, most of which are irrelevant to the situation or duplicate options.

This is happening in every site I've tried. For some sites I use this means Firefox is useless.

All of a sudden, I get a "Not enough room to save" error message when I try to download a fill. There is plenty of room on my disk.

Also, it's not giving me the option of just opening the file.

I've been needing to use Edge to download files.

bold text Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.googleadservices.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

We are currently working with Open Kiosk version 115 in a VM. The VM successfully launches and starts from the web page we configured.

However, we’ve encountered an issue: when attempting to switch to full screen (either in an RDP session or using a special viewer developed by our company), the browser image fails to resize properly.

We conducted tests with older versions and found that this issue does not occur in Open Kiosk version 91. Additionally, if we access the Open Kiosk settings by pressing Shift+F1, then exit and try again, the problem resolves itself—but only for the specific VM where this adjustment was made. Other instances created from the same VM continue to exhibit the issue.

This is a critical issue for us. If a user is on a laptop with a small screen and the browser cannot resize to full screen, it renders Open Kiosk impractical for our needs.
