I recently switched from Debian to Fedora Workstation. Everything works fine, even better under Fedora, except Firefox. There is this quirk, where whenever I wake up my system from suspension, and I try to search something, Firefox just shows a loading sign as if it was loading the page, but I see via the inspect tool that it isn't even sending any HTTPS requests to the server. I know this problem specifically affects Firefox, because other programs that require an internet connection, such as fetching mail via Thunderbird or installing packages via DNF work completely fine. In order to get Firefox to actually work, I have to completely close and reopen the application, forcing me to lose unsaved work in some cases. I've tried everything, from restarting my machine to waiting to see if it will be patched in a future update, but nothing has gotten better. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

Hi There are image display issues with Firefox. The attached image shows a screenshot comparing the same page on Glazy.org: Chrome on the left and Firefox on the right. The image appears too dark in Firefox, making it difficult to work using that browser. Is this a bug or a setting that needs adjusting? I haven't been able to find a solution. Thanks for your help.

I get the most generic error when trying to set up a backup password. This happens for any kind of password I try to input, including the same one used in my Mozilla account. This happens whether the password is simple or complex, regardless of length or characters.

I have st installed Lime on my old Asus Zenbook an have installed Nord VPN. I am using the Firefox browser showing connected to the internet but am unable to access my webmail account and its popping up messges advising Problem loading webpage and another showing 502 Bad gateway. I am also having problem with the Zenbooks Keyboard with keys randomly not operating when pressed but will work after a prolonged or multi pressing.

Currently on Linux, but the problem is probably not OS-specific (although any work-around may be).

What I look for:

I want one setup for work, one for union, and one for personal use. If my work setup would be compromised, union bookmarks, search history etc is not compromised at the same time. Also, my work setup is not cluttered with private bookmarks and addons. Obviously, it'd be nice if those setups could be handled as separate start menue icons, so that I don't need to switch using a couple of clics, but just start the right setup directly. Needless to say nowadays, that these setups need to be syncable between devices. Ideally I as a person would have one Mozilla account that can store multiple profiles and protect each one with a seperate password, OR I as a person would have multiple Mozilla accounts that are made for easy switching.

What I've tried:

Multiple accounts, obviously; they sync between devices, which profiles really do not. The problem I run into is that I still need a separate profile for each account if I don't want to log in and out of them (which I don't want indeed, Alt-Tabbing during my leisure time is the only way for me to get things done for union and often for the office-part of work).

Finding the profile feature was hard enough but I adopted and have the about:profiles page bookmarked in all profiles. But whenever I start using a new computer, I need to set up new profiles. I tried saving them in a custom location on my nextcloud so that they can sync, but there is no straight forward way to import profiles. You need to create new ones and then move the contents of the old ones, instead of just pointing ff to an existing profile; that kind of kills the point of picking a custon location in the first place. All I ever do with a new profile is logging in to one of my already highly profiled accounts.

Along the way I realized that there is a now more GUI-way to create profiles, so I tried that. But when I tried choosing a custom location for them, I failed. Took me a while of restarting and googling to find out that Mozilla has managed to have two completely seperate features with the exact same name! That is, when you create a profile the modern way, it does not appear in about:profiles and vice versa.

Since I ditched the idea of custom location anyway, I setteled with the new way. But when I thought I'd make seperate startmenue links for them, because surely you can handle that with some kind of flag in the command, I could find only one option for profiles, and, as you can guess, it works with the old profiles.

It seems that one can start with a profile at a certain path, so maybe the old way with custom path could be something for me anyway, but when I used such a profile, I got a warning message that says that history and bookmark functions might not work properly and that some security program may cause this.

So, how is one actually supposed to use different accounts OR how is one supposed to sync different profiles between devices?

Hi 🙂 This is a follow-up to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1511440.

The problem is this: support.mozilla.org is a site intended for asking support questions, and it is very inconvenient not to be able to use extensions that assist with typing (notably Unicodify and Clippings).

i have 2 suggestions to do:

1) Let the user choose whether to keep extensions enabled (in which case support.mozilla.org is not privileged, the user cannot send "Troubleshooting Information", and there is no security vulnerability), or to send "Troubleshooting Information" (in which case extensions are disabled).

2) Review the design of support.mozilla.org in a way that a subdomain like ffinfos.support.mozilla.org is privileged instead of support.mozilla.org, Firefox sends "Troubleshooting Information" to ffinfos.support.mozilla.org, and extensions are enabled on support.mozilla.org but can never interact with data that Firefox would send to ffinfos.support.mozilla.org.

What do you think about this?
