Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

Hi guys,

SOmething is wrong with the firefox on my laptop. The laptop has 32Gb ram. It is super fast. Internet speed more than 100Mb/sec. Docker containers are running, everything is fine. But with firefox, I type a letter and it needs serveral seconds to print it. I tried serveral steps, recommended for similar problems, located under "support", but not nothing helped. I disabled plugins, extensions. Still the same. 

What can I do to find a reason?

On Ubuntu 20.04 using Snap 84.0.2 (64 bits) there is something wrong with close button, presented in the attachment.

The X seems corrupted.

Does anyone know how to fix that?

This problem has been bugging for a few months. I'm using Chromium now but would like to switch back to Firefox if a solution could be found. I'm not holding my breath as I've tried almost all suggestions. The thing is, Firefox just does not tell me why it cancels my download. It surely knows why it does it, so why not just split it out to help people fix it. My question then is, how do I tell Firefox to tell me why it fails?

I know i can slow click on the icon to get to a second window, but there must be a kb for that. the help muddles the meaning of tabs and windows. I want to switch to the next window with a different tab bar where i put pocket so i can save to it

Magically? As in Evil, Stupid Magic. Turn off computer. Turn back on 2 hours later: New Tabs page has Completely Reset. All Saved Tabs are gone? Really. Who thought this was a good idea? Let's fuck with the users and screw their saved bookmarks. Nice. Twice, over the past 2 months. And, my other extensions should In No Fucking Way be the Issue. C'mon developers, quit trying to make Firefox 'prettier'..! Just make it work consistently.

“连”、“设备” are Microsoft YaHei(MSYH), but the others are other fonts which are not on my computer, and although my settings are zh-CN, my language pack is zh-CN, my Default Font is MSYH, the bold characters are JAPANESE STYLE CHINESE CHARACTERS. Maybe it is because in your font-config, ja-JP is former to zh-CN, please fix it.

This image describes the same website displayed by Firefox and Chrome.

Firefox(left) uses Noto Serif CJK SC to replace PingFang SC but not all replaced.

Chrome(right) is normal(does not replace).

I cannot click the close button because there isn't any that's because I use dwm is there any way I can close a pop-up window with my keyboard? As far as I looked there is no way through the keyboard but im probably wrong ;.

FreeBSD 12.2 Firefox 85.0 (64-bit) - no extensions (removed uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, HTTPS ONLY)

>> Enhanced Tracking Protection: OFF for shopify URIs >> Privacy & Security set to Standard >>>Manage Exceptions contains shopify URIs >> Block Pop-Ups contains shopify URI as exception >> HTTPS-ONLY Mode enabled

PROBLEM: see Subject At first I thought that Firefox's protection from these super-cookies they're so proud of actually hampered my browsing. However, after toggling through HTTPS-ONLY modes is appears that having this 'feature' disabled is what allows me to browse normally without a false negative of "This page is not available at this moment".

I wanted to put this out there in case anyone else has a Shopify store, uses v85 of Firefox and has similar difficulties.

Curious to hear whether the Firefox devs have any feedback ... thing is, with uBlock I have control over which domains, sub-domains and cross-domains I want to allow in terms of javascript et al while Privacy Badger used to control cookies. With Firefox's built-in protection it's more static ... still have a feeling that's where the problem is but will need to spend a little more time to draw any conclusions on my end. Maybe the built-in dev tools will shed some additional light?

Incidentally, the Chrome browser has no problem.

<start rant>I see that all the menus have disappeared from firefox in the top of the window on my PC since a couple of years now. This is such an annoying "improvement".

The worst thing is - it keeps getting more and more difficult to open them with each successive "improvement" you make.

I actually use firefox for my job, not to watch tiktok videos or browse facebook or watch inane people do inane things on instagram.

Heads up , you developers. To be able to "do" things with your freaking software you need to be able to "click" on easily accessible drop-down menus.

So, why don't you give us stupid users the option to always have menus displayed the whole freaking time? Then, if some of us are backward enough to want to click on menus to do stuff, then we can still do that ! </end rant>

My sneaking suspicion is that you guys don't want us to control where we go on the internet at all. You want double click to tell us what we need to see and do and then you all earn $$$$.

No matter what I tried, I can not delete my browser history, nor can I delete single websites from my history. The history list works fine, all visited sites are visible and browser history is updated, but I can not delete any of the entries or the whole list. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the problem is still the same. I have read and write permissions on the .mozille folder, so this can not be the problem.

I'd like to create a bookmark utility for my system and therefore need the specs for the json file. While I can currently break it apart easily enough I have questions about which fields mean what (i.e.: index, type code,etc). A pointer/link to those specs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I noticed under "Add ons" section of "Troubleshooting information" that several extensions (namely "Google - google@search.mozilla.org") are enabled by default. I have removed Google from my search options and I cannot find a way to disable or remove it in under "Add-ons" section of main menu as it doesn't show up there. Is there a way to remove it (and Amazon and Bing while we're at it)?

Last time I reinstalled Firefox all my bookmarks and login information for various sites was automatically restored (and I was greeted with "Welcome back" message). I would like to know the location on my disk where Firefox stores that information. I have Firefox 85.0.1 (64 bit) running on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Thanks in advance!

I am developing some html and javascript applications. During testing I use the windows.alert box to show some innerHTML values. This worked fine, until after a while, the Alert box window size changes to a small window, showing only the horizontal slider.

I have restarted the browser, but that didn't change anything.

What can I do to have the full Alert window back?

Thanks for your help, Jan

I cannot search for text on https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s2111.html. Please advise on how to fix.

This problem occurred Oct 24, 2020 Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time (3 weeks after daylight savings time came into effect here). The operating system time is correct. I have cleared the cache several times, rebooted and shut down overnight.

A forum site is displaying the correct times. A site displaying weather information uses the correct time; I loaded it just after 3am and the first time it displayed was 6am as expected.

1. A TV guide normally highlights in red programs currently showing; at present it shows programs showing one hour previously. In Google-Chrome no programs are highlighted. I have removed the cookies and that has made no difference. 2. Facebook.com times are one hour late, both the time of posts in the newsfeed and times of notifications.

The Network tab in the Developer Tools can be activated only when a page is already open. We have an application that opens a document in a new window. I can enable network logging on the main page, but when I click to open the document nothing is displayed. To see the very start of the log for the document page, I'm too late, the Network tab is empty. I can reload the page, but that wouldn't be the real situation.

My questions: Is there an option to activate the Network log right from the start of a page? -or- Is there a way to have ONE big Network log, with all pages combined??

Thank you for an excellent browser!
