Firefox Community Forum

All of a sudden I could not access our local electronic paper with FireFox. As it turn out the problem was caused by my virus protection software had the "Ad Blocker" turned on. When I turned the option off then I could access the paper. I called customer service and they evidently had done something with ads, but the person I was talking with could not tell me what it was. There suggestion was to use a browser that did not block ads regardless of the setting of my virus protection software. I do not understand how a browser can override the setting in my virus protection software.

My question is does FireFox have an option to turn off an ad blocker for a given URL?

In February this year I started having an issue with reading pdf formatted statements from my bank' (bank and personal information removed). Initially I thought it was some change at the bank so I sent the letter below to my bank.

Further experimenting with Microsoft Edge and Firefox leads me to believe the issue may be with recent changes to firefox. The attached jpg file shows the problem, though not a solution.

I would be curious to know if there is some (new) setting in Firefox to correct the problem.

re: document access on site

You have evidently made some changes in your account display and I have to tell you there are issues with it.

Previously the account document came up as PDF. Today I accessed the current statement and immediately noticed the change in display format.

I usually do two things here. First I print the document. The print button worked as expected. Next I SAVE a copy for future reference. The download button DID NOT WORK.

I had to use the print save to file function. This is where I found the problem. I saw this when I checked my print queue as well. Instead of PDF the document is now PDF.js viewer.

I have to ask why you went to java script when the original PDF format worked properly every time?

On the plus side, my pdf viewer still reads the saved file. It is the unnecessary print to file step to which I object.

I am not at all happy with this change and would encourage you to return to the previous process. Since it was NOT BROKE I am at a lost to understand WHY YOU FIXED IT.

Firefox149开始，网页看抖音，每滑到下一条就卡顿2，3秒，换回148及之前的版本就没这问题 Starting from Firefox 149, when watching Tiktok videos on the web, there is a lag of 2-3 seconds every time I swipe to the next item. Switching back to versions 148 and earlier does not have this issue， https://www.douyin.com/

Whenever I launch a YouTube video, It starts then the whole page freezes. No links work and no menus shows up when I click my mouse. I can do nothing to get the video to unfreeze. All I ca do is close the window.

Both amazon.ca and mec.ca emails do not show anything in the body of an e-mail. If I use a different browser (duckduckgo) everything is ok and I can read the whole e-mail. This only started with the Firefox version 149 but is continuing with version 149.0.2. My email is handled by yahoo.ca via rogers.com. So far I am seeing this only with the two companies listed here.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I have for years disabled crash reporter on firefox, however it recently crashed 149.0.1 (64-bit) & sent info ANYWAY! it then upgraded to 149.0.2

WHY is this NOT being honored ? firefoxCrashOFF.jpg attached

My credit card info has always been saved and until recently I could click one of the saved options and it would populate at checkout. But a few months ago (at best guess) - this stopped populating. So at checkout I can see the card details but nothing happens when I click on them so have no choice but to enter by hand.

I've gone into settings and the 'save and autofill' box is ticked - but for the life of me I can't get it to autofill any longer.

Any advice would be appreciated. It must be different setting on my laptop but just can't figure it out.

Thanks

Certain webpages are now enlarged to the point of being unusable. I have not changed any settings in Firefox. Zoom is at the typical 100% and zooming out does not fix the issue. I have attached a screenshot of what this page looks like so you can see. I have tried searching ways to fix this and cannot figure it out. Help is greatly appreciated.

Downloaded recent Firefox update. Restarted PC. Logged into a site I use (and need this season). I could not even use a saved bookmark for login page. Cannot log in to it.

I added the site under Firefox settings option.

I tried logging in with Private mode, where I was able to use bookmark for login page. HOWEVER, I quickly experienced issues and got attached warnings. I reported 'site not working' on the debug option. While this usually immediately fixes a problem, it did nothing at all.

This is why I am always AFRAID of installing the "Updates" - I frequently lose functions. It takes as TREMENDOUS amount of time to fix them and there is no "help button" on Firefox or Mozilla to scan issue and fix it.

I do web development and find that Update Available popup to be a real hassle as I am constantly reloading my browser to view edits.

How do I disable that annoying beg notice from making my life miserable?

This has happened several times. I open password manager and am told there are 0 saves, I start putting passwords in and within a week or 10 days it is again 0 saved, Very frustrating

bold textEvery time I start the cimpouter I lose my bookmarks how can I avoid this issue. Each time i takes about two hours messing about to get them back

Switched on vertical tabs in the latest Firefox release (149.0.2) and noticed a bit of an annoying issue with the bookmark toolbar. If setted only on new tabs - it push all ui of vertical tabs down, and when you switch - it's going up again. I’ve attached a GIF to show what I mean.

I’ve enabled the option to show the bookmark bar only on new tabs, along with the vertical tabs setting. This behavior doesn’t seem right to me — I’d expect the bookmark bar to sit beside the vertical tab sidebar without shifting it. The current design is pretty frustrating.

Is there any way I can fix this? I think it's a clear bug in UI. Thanks!
