I have an Ubuntu desktop and I am trying to switch my browsing from Chrome to Firefox but cannot load the website "https://messages.google.com". This is actually a NEW install of Ubuntu Desktop 20.0.4 which had Firefox 86.0.1 64-bit pre-installed.

I have been using the Google Messages app via the computer successfully for YEARS on current versions of Chrome on Ubuntu (and it still works today). I have cleared Firefox cache and all data multiple times. I have restarted the browser multiple times. I have tried to hit the website in standard and private mode. No luck.

If I hit https://messages.google.com/ I get the pretty page with icons then click "messages for web" link in the right corner which redirects me to "https://messages.google.com/web/authentication" and I get a blank white page that never changes. Ever. With Chrome the next thing I would see is a QR code to scan with the phone app ... then it works. Nothing with Firefox.

When I start typing in the Address Bar I get a few suggestions: first there are my bookmarks (one of which fills the address), then there are results from my search engine. I like that. But let's say, for example, none of my bookmarks start with the letter 'z'. What I want to see when I type 'z' is the results from my search engine, like random popular words or sentences. Instead I receive some mainstream site that I never use, 'zooniverse dot org', followed by '-- Visit'. Is it possible to turn that off?

Why can a stupid failing script on a web-page, or even intentionally so programmed script disable the copy (and sometimes paste) functionality?

How can this be disabled/fixed?

One highlights a text (any text) on some web sites, Edit menu allows Copy, context menu allows Copy, one hits Copy, nothing happens. It's not even a page where someone wanted to "copy protect" some information.

Copy and Paste should work just as advertised since those were invented, how hard can it be to get that right? Even stupid Notepad never fails at it. And no, I don't care what the idiot who programmed a page though would be/should be best for me, I want Copy to be copy, Paste to be paste. This used to work in "original" Firefoxes even when page developers wanted to make it not work.

And yes, while on a given page Copy fails miserably, at the same time in other pages it works.

I visit sites which require password changes on a regular basis and each time I do this I save the login details in Firefox.

Now I have sites where over 20 login options are displayed.

I want to delete all of the expired login combinations but when I try to manage the passwords I only have the latest (correct) combination displayed.

How do I prune my password lists to remove obsolete details but retain the current ones?

Can this be done by exporting the list, editing it externally and then re-importing? I don't want to try and then lose this useful feature.

I am trying to minimize Firefox, but the minimize icon in the upper right-hand corner is missing. I am still able to close Firefox using the 'X' in the upper right corner of the window, but I am unable to minimize or restore. All other applications still have these icons available.

Dear Mozilla firefox Community,

1. My computer is a new HEWLETT PACKARD. It works beautifully.

2. WINDOWS 10 HOME. No problem.

3. Here is the strange occurrence. With MOZILLA FIREFOX I have in the LANGUAGE SETTINGS, chosen for now, only four languages: ENGLISH UNITED KINGDOM, ENGLISH UNITED STATES, FRENCH & ITALIAN. I may in the future also add GERMAN and SPANISH.

4. The main language highlighted is ENGLISH UNITED STATES.

5. I also have chose the CHECK SPELLING in the little grey window if there should be a typing error. This and all of the above I've set also with my GOOGLE CHROME browser, except the term used with it is ENHANCED SPELL CHECK.

6. I have four mail servers: GOOGLE, HOT, YAHOO & VERIZON by way of AMERICA ONLINE.

7. Here is the problem with MOZILLA FIREFOX that does not occur with GOOGLE CHROME: With CHECK SPELLING clicked-checked on, all of the languages will result error with a red erratic line underneath them, even if correctly spelled. Sometimes an American spelling will have it, apologize, sometimes a British spelling, apologise, and not the other, and sometimes both. Likewise with French and Italian. I may type one message using all four languages, and errors for all.

8. If I compose an electronic mail message using GOOGLE CHROME, whether with one language, or I type it using words in all four languages in one message, if the spelling is correct there is not a language error red line. Only when I misspell a word in any of the four, this is what is supposed to happen with MOZILLA FIREFOX, but it doesn't.

9. With MOZILLA FIREFOX, I must unclick the CHECK SPELLING to avoid the red line errors,Yet, I won't get a red line error if I should indeed type a word wrongly. With CHECK SPELLING even correctly spelled words in any language result red line error!

10. Why is this taking place? I have correctly chosen the four languages, chosen United States English as the main language for MOZILLA FIREFOX browser. This never happened with my DELL INSPIRON computer and WINDOWS 7 HOME. Please understand I am not computer savvy, and I dread something goes askew with the computer settings. There must be something that is being overlooked. I await your kind and patient assistance. Eric Galati

I've been getting security warnings from my security software "Bitdefender" for firefox. Bitdefender is giving me warnings about "suspicious connection blocked" for "gitcdn.link" within Firefox as an "Online threat prevention". Word for word is as follows "Suspicious connection blocked. Feature: Online Threat Prevention. firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to gitcdn.link. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since the used certificate was issued for a different web address than the targeted one." First: I did not access "github" which "gitcdn.link" appears to be linked to in accordance to a general google search. Second: This warning appears every time that I begin using firefox as well as periodically while I am using firefox. Third: in my process of trying to report this problem mozilla.com directed to a "support" website that would not take my mozilla firefox log in while it had a box stating to "sign in with github". I'd like to know if mozilla uses the "gitcdn.link" in it's firefox browser in some way? And if so, I would like firefox to corroborate with bitdefender to resolve the security issue. If not, then I would like a way to get/have a clean firefox browser that doesn't continuously get seecurity warnings relating to firefox and it's operation. Please help

After you install a firefox update, a page loads. Sometimes this page distracts me and I forget what I was opening the browser for. I don't care what's new even a little bit. If it was that important I'd have heard about it already from one of the news sites I visit. How do I stop the page that gives you information on the update you just installed from loading after I update the browser? I don't need to be advertised to, I already installed the update.

'Hi firefox community i ve been using firefox since it's launch day and one of its feature i love is the recent highlights, it's make navigation easier for me, the last couple of days i updated firefox to the latest version and noticed that recent highlights disappear. my question is, is this happened to every one or just for me? i've also tried to check other distro's (pop os - Manjaro) and the problem is the same as in my Ubuntu machine

Firefox browser 52 is the version on my computer and was bundled with my version of the Linux operating system. I have not been able to upgrade. I was told that I might have to remove the browser and then install a later version, but Firefox, when bundled with certain versions of Linux, will not be completely removed, and then a new version of Firefox is impossible to install. I and others have experienced this in the past, so I need to simply upgrade the browser I have to at least version 57. Please give me instructions that will work. Thank you.

Hello-

I recently did some house cleaning and removed cookies, cleared cache, etc within firefox on my desktop. Since then, gmail.com website will load but when I click to sign-in, no accounts will work within the browser. It continually has the spiraling blue bar above the login screen and gives a "Something Went Wrong" message, which I've attached as an image.

I did some searching through the forums and found a standard response given by the community:

------------------------------------------------------ "You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages:

You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

   hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
   press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
   press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac) 

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:

   Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
   Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data" 

"Clear the Cache":

   Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
   Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear 

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

   make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version 

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

   switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
   do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data for that website will be saved once again. " ---------------------------------------------------------

I have performed all of these tasks to no avail. Chrome (in the same desktop) works, my android pixel 2 works, as well as an ios device. This only happens in firefox. I have done a full refresh, removed all add-ons, turned off hardware acceleration. I don't use themes.

Has anybody else ever had this issue or can offer any advice? To be clear: all other websites and their respective logins seem to work. Haven't run into any other problems except gmail (and google accounts tethered therein).

Thanks!

Do Firefox's title bar buttons change depending on custom Windows 10 themes (I hope that made sense)? Whenever I choose a custom theme (from DeviantArt) those buttons look out of place, any way to fix this? I only have this problem with FF The theme is this -> https://www.deviantart.com/kdr3w/art/Gray-Dark-807271550

I've been having this issue since yesterday. I haven't downloaded or done anything since recently to make me think it'd tamper with the unicode. I use a Macbook and I'm on High Sierra, but another macbook I have is on the same macOS and has firefox can see things fine. It appears now as a box with little numbers inside of it. Things like U+13083, which I'm normally able to see, don't show anymore. I tried going through Apple Support to see if the issue was about my computer, but none of the methods given solved my problem.

excuse me ... i noticed that firefox on my windows 10 laptop Is drains battery power Significantly when i opened the tasks bar i noticed that one of the firefox features as shown in the picture is running in the background and the effect is so great that when this feature is turned off, the battery can operate the laptop for about an additional hour i ended the task and the laptop worked perfectly ... but i cant know what is that feature which drains battery power note that there are no extensions onmy Firefox browser so please help me to solve this problem

EMAIL DISPLAY IN GMAIL: Hello. All of my emails open the first page okay, but an increasing number of action pages in emails do not open. Those pages contain forms to fill out, petitions to sign, and donations to make. This problem began in late February/early March (FF 86&87).

The tech support at EveryAction.com said she thought they need Javascript to open, but I couldn't find any setting or add-on in FF to enable/disable Javascript. I don't know why all of their action pages have been opening fine for years--maybe it's related to FF's new versions. I tried adding Policy Control because it supposedly enables/disables Javascript but it didn't solve my problem.

The tech support at Earth Justice wrote this in response to my report about their action pages not displaying: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0; https://earthjustice.org/action/investigate-troubling-payments-that-threaten-the-florida-panther?contactdata=8D8RgJTCUXwiDCjeWPHh7wQ1fwDy7YSqjRoUFBMLj9iH2tXUofJiQ1CKU%2fIhkHfdjY8KsFkiYme4BhD4yp%2bpJ9S13ALo6NdUs4CtwLA2KaAhIZ0GP2%2bWq9ZUYNwtkHNEKC%2bxUF4VNRJ1XirXG00WayYuwLGnnHVzRWtCwf3s%2fqtR64TlcMwKx0w2e3AyPLspJ8xDw1TQNs%2fSBpWztf%2fNBkvDKFTrC6fsKAvY54zt13IfVVPcfU%2byEdneTMzDaYIN&ms=email&utm_source=crm&utm_medium=email&utm_term=action&utm_campaign=2102_Action_Panthers_Haaland&%3butm_content=HTMLTakeActionButton1&emci=5a0f473e-c881-eb11-85aa-00155d43c992&emdi=01870d6d-d68b-eb11-85aa-00155d43c992&ceid=962627 "We are still investigating this problem, but it appears to be concentrated among Firefox users. We do know that our EveryAction forms require Javascript to be enabled, so if it’s disabled and you’re able to enable it that might work and would be helpful to our efforts to sort this out. Let us know if you’re able to get that to work, and thank you for your patience."

I would be very grateful for your help in solving this problem. I'm sure there are other users out there with same problem. Thank you. --Sincerely, Bo Bergstrom.

Recently when my computer shuts down (my battery is dying so it happens often) and the previous session are restored, they are not from my previous session per se, they are from an older session. What can I do for this to stop happening?

Thanks in advance

I am unable to download anything using Firefox. I have tried everything listed in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

Nothing has worked; starting in Safe Mode; clearing my cache; disabling all addons; disabling my firewall; disabling my antivirus; even reinstalling.

I can download using other browsers just fine, but not Firefox for a reason I cannot figure out.
