Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

For all intents and purposes, there are no 'nonprofit' companies. Their is a large grey are between the two such that the entire spectrum is in that grey area. Firefox has become a Big Business Behemoth. The surest way to tell if you're dealing with a Big Business Behemoth is 'Customer Service'. Big Business Behemoths don't supply REAL customer support, you have to get whatever support you can from their 'Community', their end-users.

The most recent update of firefox was released without thoroughly ridding itself of glitches: the end-users will report the glitched that were missed.

Since update 85.0.1 was inflicted upon my computer without my permission. It not only hangs at somepoint while I'm using it, the little 'end peocess' window doesn't work, I can't minimize firefox and do something else until it wakes up from its nightmare, I can't access Task Manager, my only option is to wait. I'm not very good at the waiting game. Other applications have started hanging as well. I have no choice in the matter, I have to be patient until the problem resolves itself.

I am allowed the option to reset firefox and lose my bookmarks, my history and probably my saved logins. That's not an option , it's surrender.

Firefox, Seitenquelltext anzeigen, Lange Zeilen umbrechen, seit Firefox 85 nicht mehr vorhanden. Letzte Fersion mit den Feature ist Firefox 84.0.2 Letzte Lösung ist about:config - view_source.wrap_long_lines

Frage: Warum wurde das Feature gestrichen ?

Firefox, show page source text, wrap long lines, no longer available since Firefox 85. The latest version with the feature is Firefox 84.0.2 Last solution is about: config - view_source.wrap_long_lines

Question: Why was the feature canceled?

Tried to go on the OAN.com website and my computer told me that there was a threat ahead and to go back. I want to sign in to OAN.com. Thanks.

I need to find a way to allow Firefox to display gzipped local files named like *.html.gz in the browser, for a new application I am working on.

Netscape 4.79 can do this, but it's very out-of-date and lacks modern Javascript and CSS support.

The behaviour of Firefox on local files named *.html.gz is to download them. Why? The files are already saved on the local disk...

Is there a configuration setting I can change to make Firefox display these files?

Ideally, ANY local file with a double extension of *1.*2.gz should be decompressed in the browser. Where *1 would be a name and *2 would be a file type that the browser can normally display (like HTML) or load (like Javascript/CSS,etc.).

If a user really does want to download a local file of this type, there could be a right click option like "Save Link As Uncompressed" or an option in Firefox config to switch this behaviour off.

Needing to run a webserver on the PC just so the browser can display compressed html is a bit ridiculous...

Ever since Firefox updated to version 85, I have been unable to stream anything. Netflix tells me I need to install Microsoft's Media Feature pack. Nope! I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (NOT the "N" version) so I have Windows Media Player installed already. I also cannot stream SiriusXM stations, Apple TV+, Spotify, CNN videos.....basically anything that involves streaming. YouTube videos still work however.

It's definitely a problem with the Firefox browser because all the above streaming sites work just fine under a different browser (Chrome). I have cleared the cache, I have started Firefox in Safe Mode, I have unchecked hardware acceleration.....NOTHING works!

Help please! I really don't want to refresh Firefox and lose all my settings.

There is a problem that has haunted me for many years, regardless of the versions of firefox, the bottom line is that when I close the browser after a long work, and open it later, an outdated session is restored, 4-5 hours old, and not the last one. Having watched the "sessionstore-backups" folder and its three files, I found that at some point these files simply stop changing, so the next time the browser is opened, the session is not fresh. Why is this happening, I cannot understand why the session files freeze and do not update despite the fact that I continue to work in firefox ??

I am upgrading my PC from W7 Home Premium to W10 soon. I understand this will result in a complete reimage of the PC and all existing files will have to be restored. I currently use a Seagate external hard drive as a system backup. Can the W7 "backup" Firefox file on the Seagate be used to restore my existing bookmarks to the new W10 Firefox download? If so, how do I do this?

I have mistakenly deleted the computer generated password for my Facebook account that was saved on Firefox. I need a simple way to get it back as I am not very computer smart and the instructions on your moz://a support page are just a way over my head. Thanks

I was logged on, Firefox shut down, installed new updates, and wiped everything because of new privacy controls - bookmarks, history, settings, everything! To log into my account, I had to reset because I lost my password and couldn't get to the recovery key link. I have a backup bookmarks file from a couple of days ago, but it's missing some really important pages I just bookmarked last night and there's no history for me to reference. First of all, why did Firefox do such a drastic update with no notice and secondly, is there anything I can do to restore everything I'm missing? I'm so upset I'm thinking about removing Firefox as my default browser. TIA for your help.

I'm wondering if other FF users have this problem: I have a permanent VPN connection which I know can cause issues with geolocation checks and IP addresses. But FF security an privacy has got so good now I'm having problems with online shopping and security used by PayPal and Ebay. I have FF set as default browser but I can also use Chrome, which I know is very leaky, both are connecting to the same VPN IP. and DNS server.

Chrome options are set vanilla, i.e privacy (lack of!) and security are as it ships default. My FF options are now set with private browsing off and cookies trusted for Ebay and Paypal. Fingerprint detection might be an issue because I know many sites are using it. My FF cookies are cleared at shutdown but cookie exceptions are set for these sites.

Ebay checkout using a PayPal option links to the PP site login, then returns to their checkout basket. Very often FF just sits there with a screen waiting for the final confirmation. If I switch to Chrome the final checkout and payment confirmation succeeds. I have noticed on FF there's TLS transfer activity (handshake?) during this waiting period when nothing happens. These payment checkouts don't seem to like private browsing either, which I have had to turn off.

Until recently this was just a nuisance, until one auction site decided my login credentials had been compromised and blocked account access.

Unless somebody has the solution, I'm wondering if I can set options in Firefox to start with minimal privacy aka Chrome, then increase the level in stages until secure checkout breaks? At the moment I don't know what FF security or privacy setting is causing the problem?

Thanks

After updating tо Firefox 81.0 the browser stopped saving files and pages. For example, when I click file > save, nothing happens, the files also are not saved when using "save link as" or clicking on a link. The browser seems to perform all other functions flawlessly. If anyone knows what the problem is, pls share any relevant experience.

I'd been having issues with connectivity (local issues, wireless AP connection), and one day this week the browser had issues loading my saved tabs, I'm suspecting because of my poor connectivity, so I close the browser, disconnect from my AP, reconnect, fire up Firefox again (it tells me it's applying updates before it loads up), and a blank screen with my homepage loads up instead of my saved tabs and settings. I don't know what's caused that, but it's led to the issues I'm having now.

I laid out the page the way it was before I was having these connectivity issues, with 5 app tabs (Gmail, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and one other) and a few normal tabs. I closed the browser, reopened, and now what it's doing is making the Facebook app tab and the Instagram app tab open up as normal tabs, unlike before when they stayed as app tabs. To be clear, if I rearrange these two to be app tabs and shut down the browser, then reopen it, the app tabs begin as normal when the browser opens, until they start loading up... THEN it changes ONLY THESE TWO app tabs back to normal tabs.

Nothing has changed in my settings; I don't clear browser history on exit, I have Restore Previous Session always ticked. I still can't tell what's causing this.

I´ve got a hint from firefox "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" from: https://230196.97604.eu2.cleverreach.com/f/230196-260960/wcs/ But the text includes the sign for "*.eu2.cleverreach.com" Why recognizes firefox the certificate as false? I can´t understand that... Thank you very much in advance for your answer! Sincerly Herbert

Ever since I installed the last update, 84, which caused a host of problems I will not go into, an unanticipated one was that I can non longer output to PDF as Firefox automatically changes it to Firefox HTML Files. I can view them in Acrobat, but the subtle difference makes it impossible for Word Perfect to recognise them if I need to import them back (as in when something gets lost and all I have is the PDF). Please, community, do NOT tell me all I need to do is use MS Word to fix this. This is NEVER going to happen, now or ever! Now that this made clear, what, if anything can I do? And why would Firefox have anything to DO with me converting WP files into PDF? Clearly there is some greedy little finger stuck somewhere, because the proof is in the long list of files I now have that are no longer PDF. I have opened them in Acrobat and saved them again, but they still show up as FIrefox HTML Files. Aaargh! Help, please! It's driving me mad!

I've somehow managed to lose the pop-up window which asks if you want to close the page- can you please advise how to re-install it.Note I'm no techno so a simple answer please!
