Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

On my personal home page, I have several links as in the subject: which I use to browse javadoc. Clicking on the link does nothing AFAICT. Is there some kind of configuration setting to get the "click" to work? (It used to work years ago)

There are some workarounds

Workaround One

1. Copy Link (context menu action)
2. Ctrl-L
3. Paste link in search/open bar
4. Return

Workaround Two

1. Open Link in New Tab (context menu action)
2. Click on New Tab
3. Ctrl-L
4. Return

Workaround two leave an unwanted open tab

After an update a couple of months ago, Tradingview graph somehow shrinked in size, yet the area for the graph stays the same with a white gap in between (please see the image). When I move the cursor within empty the area, it appears on the shrinked graph like where it has to be making it practically impossible to use.

I tried other Firefox distributions like LibreWolf, with the same result. Other browsers like Brave does not have this issue and the graph works just fine. I tried disabling graphic acceleration to no avail. I'm on Windows, I use several add ons like ublock, centraleyes, cookie autodelete, noscript etc.

Thanks in advance.

for example: navigation to firefox.com works instantly

trying to get there from a search result https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=firefox+forums

hangs the browser.

new tabs wont work correctly. I have to close the browser and start over. It will always hang again.

This is a new windows 10 and browser installation (about 10 days old). I had to replace my boot drive due to hw failure.

Guten Tag! Seit einiger Zeit startet Firefox nicht mehr. Wenn ich ihn als Admin starte, startet er zwar, friert aber sofort wieder ein und rührt sich nicht mehr. Ich habe ihn mehrfach deinstalliert und wieder sauber installiert und aktualisiert. Nichts hilt. Was läuft da falsch? Danke! klaus1003

Firefox 103.0.2 (64 bit) doesn't play YouTube videso in Private Window. The same videso play in s statdrad new window. Try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fiVciCs8zU which ironically won't play in private! Every time you press the play button you get about half a second of play before pausing. In standard mode it plays just fine.

Hi,

 I've just spent an annoyingly long time trying to do something that turned out to be really easy, it was just finding out what to do that made it seem hard.
 The issue of where search results open is completely ignored in the help pages, judging from the number of questions in Support on the issue, that appears to be something of an oversight. As does not displaying the date questions were posted, reading about what applies in an old verion of Ff may not do so in the current one, it didn't in my case.
 I wanted to know how to make the search results from Google on the search bar, open in a new tab, as opposed to the same tab, the current default setting. All it takes is changing the value of: browser.link.open_newwindow, from false to true in about:config.
 Simple to do, finding out that's what you have to do, isn't. 
 I thought I'd suggest that you might consider addressing this matter, I'm sure it would be welcomed by at least some users.
 Anyway, thank you for a great browser.

Remember search and form history. This setting always resets to false after the latest two FireFox updates and I need to enable it again.

After logging out and back in the setting is disabled again. I've removed all plugins and extensions I've added and the issue persists.

I've tried Places Database : Verify Integrity but the issue persists on very Restart or loggin. In the past I've even removed FireFox with a 3rd party uninstaller to remove all remnants of FF but, as a very long term user of FF (right from the early Win XP days), this issue pops up from time to time and it's really starting to become extremely annoying.

Apart from Refreshing FF or the total nuke and reinstall option, what else can be done to stop this issue?

Thanks.

I really want to keep all my tabs and have this setting on but its disabled. I was configurating this pc via "privasy.sexy" scripts and my best guess is that "disable telemetry" setting which you can see on second screenshot is the cause. But maybe you are familiar with this situaton and know th real reason.

I know the sc i provided are in polish but above the disabled startup settings there is an information that another organisation is in charge of my browser.

Thanks for your work and let me know if there are any fxes. ^^

Hello there!

I am a web developer and recently we built a website using wordpress. Specifically in this page https://jaotc.eu/jatc-participants/jatc-participants-jatc2/ there is an issue with the participants not showing/loading. I exclusively use Firefox for development and had no issues so far but this problem only exists in Firefox. I tried edge and chrome and the page works fine.

Maybe it has to do with some kind of compatibility with the wordpress theme or wordpress itself. If you would like to check it out and see if there is a general fix that has to be applied.

Thank you in advance!

When closing firefox with cmd+h in macbook and then reopening it the browser idiotically opens in the low part if the screen just above dock and with small size. That means that if earlier just matched the view for the screen (size and position) the view needs to be moved and resized again. Why is this and how to get rid of this behaviour?

it is taking over 30 seconds, sometimes several minutes to load firefox, especially first thing in the day. Rebooting computer only makes it worse. Any thought's on how to speed up responsiveness?

Hi,

I am currently working on a privacy study regarding Mozilla Firefox and I would like to have more detailed information on key log file using per-session secrets.

I used SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable from underlying NSS library to get TLS session secrets [1], which can be used in Wireshark to decrypt HTTPS traffic. I looked at Firefox documentation for some answers and I found that NSS support for logging file is disabled by default since NSS 3.24 [2], that-is to say Firefox 48 and 49 [3]. I do not have found any documentation saying it has been re-enabled by default since then. However, I have made some tests on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (it is disabled on Debian) and Windows 10 using Firefox 106 (NSS 3.83) [4] and it works properly.

So, I have two questions : - Is it normal that this feature still works for decrypting traffic whereas it should be disabled by default ? - What is the position of Mozilla developers and the community on the security of this feature (anyone who have access to someone computer could get all of their internet passwords) ?

Thank you for your reading and I am looking forward to reading your answer.

Best regards

So, I am a Linux user who is used to shell commands like mv or cp. One of their feature is absence of prompts like "Are you sure what you want to replace foo.txt?". Because I have somewhat organized fs, I always know what that file is for and if I can overwrite it.

Now I have to download some files, what I need only for uploading onto another website / reading them once. So, I just download them into my /tmp folder and save them under the same name (so I could just repeat cat command and reduce clutter). But each time I download a file Firefox asks for confirmation to replace my existing file. Are there any config flags to disable those annoying prompts?

I'm on macOS's Firefox Developer Edition 108.0b3 right now (arm64/M1 CPU). Though my current version is a bit outdated, this problem appeared several months ago and still bothers me to this day.

When I, or any another application, opens a new link in Firefox, the browser _doesn't initiate the request_. So the address bar changes, new tab opens, but absolutely nothing happens afterwards, I'm just getting blank page. In order to get site opened, I have to click the address bar and press enter. Rarely, even that does not help and I have to press enter one more time again. The same applies to the basic links too - on this support website I practically had to click every link twice to get it opened. The click even is clearly registered: I see the :active state for a second. But afterwards, nothing happens, just like event got canceled in browser (clearly not JS error since it not only happens with links). It doesn't matter which site I'm using, where I am (even start page has this bug), and don't really seem to be connected to the extensions I'm using (recently I had high RAM usage by extension, and being unable to determine which extension uses RAM I disabled most of the untrusted extensions, which do not have cup icon given by Mozilla or not very popular), so I practically use _mostly_ clean Firefox now.

Before going full reset, I wonder if anyone happen to have the same issue?

For the last two days websites I use all the time, like my gmail and my aol mail have a red line through the lock icon in the URL. I was able somehow to fix yesterday, not today. SURELY Google itself is not an unauthenticated site. OR gmail. And for EVERY site to be a problem is ludicrous. To expect users to know who the website owners are for contacting is also ludicrous. This actually seems to be a probelm with FIREFOX itself. So, I will begin the transfer of my stuff to another browser and stop using Firefox entirely. I have been a user for probably 20 years, and always defended it against techies telling me to use something else. Turns out they knew what they were talking about. So fed up right now...

Goodbye, Firefox.

All of a sudden I can't get into my Ally accounts from Firefox. I get logged in and then am repeatedly told: "We’re not able to show your accounts right now. Try again later, or call us for help. Bank Accounts: 1-877-247-2559 We’re here 24/7" I called Ally and they said it is likely my browser. So I tried Microsoft Edge and was able to get into my account without a problem. I am totally frustrated and ready to stop using Mozilla unless this can be fixed. I see other people have had this problem but don't see a solution anywhere. I tried the suggested work around (troubleshoot mode off) and it didn't work either.

Dear team I'm trying to use firefox to connect OWA on an Exchange server where Extended Protection (EP) is configured. OWA website is configured to use basic and windows authentication. When EP is off, it works fine, meaning it connects automatically. When EP is set to require, then I get a credential prompt, that loops prompting me for the credentials Strange thing is if the 1st time I get prompted I press Escape key, and at the 2nd prompt I enter my credentials, then I connect the webmail.

These settings were configured in the about:config with the webmail URL "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" "network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris" "network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris" and this one "signon.autologin.proxy" has been set to true

If I use Chrome or Edge, I do not face this issue I found this website https://www.synacktiv.com/en/publications/dissecting-ntlm-epa-with-love-building-a-mitm-proxy.html which seems to explain the issue I'm facing but it talks about Firefox v93.

Anyone knows how to fix this issue?

Regards
