Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

Since the update before the most recent one, web pages of major sites are not loading properly in Firefox on Mac laptop. Cannot load Hulu, MSN News, Booking.com, but they work fine on Chrome. I've used Firefox since its inception and I hate using Chrome, but it looks like I am going to have to, as I cannot get any response or support from Firefox. Is there any hope at all or should I just get used to Chrome? This is my second post--I attached screen shots to the first one, but no response, so I'm thinking they have no fix.

Hi,

As the attached screenshot shows, my browser fails to correctly show Arabic characters in textboxes. Sometime, the same problem happens when loading a page too. I tested it with Arabic, Persian and Kurdish keyboards and still get the same problem.

My Firefox version is 113.02 (64-bit). I use an Apple M1 Pro (Ventura 13.2.1).

This problem exists since early 2023.

Basically in my online banking with chevron to login button is grayed out and won't allow me to login, including comcast account Continue button is grayed out. This is an urgent matter because I can't get comcast online application for new account completed.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the, "*", "%", "^", in my browser bar. What exactly do these do? After entering the shortcut I get a "Tab" or "History" button that shows up in the search bar and then after hitting enter nothing happens. Isn't this feature suppose to search inside all my open tabs and my History? Nothing happens after I hit enter.

Thank you.

At moment and for the past week or so, my email and other web pages garble all the bold type. This has happened periodically for the better part of a year. It will be normal for a month or so then be garbled as shown in the attached screen shot. This only happens on Firefox, not on Mac mail, Google Chrome, or Safari.

When I enter either of these internal addresses, it fails:

http://dfa shows: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at dfa.

http://rpi-m92a-ad82:3003/ Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at rpi-m92a-ad82.

Both issues are similar, but neither work as expected.

dfa is an alias for a longer name such as dfa.int.example.com. The local DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) will reply with the correct IP if asked for "dfa" but not "dfa." due to the dot forcing the Fully Qualified Domain Name to be "dfa." only. We wish to opt to leave off the rest of the url.

For the raspberry pi, it is a mDNS. So doing "rpi-m92a-ad82.local" works. But this used to work long ago, and ended 10 or 20 updates ago as best as I can remember.

How can I convince Firefox to query DNS, then query mDNS, and if both fail perform a search?

I have an issue when displaying the contents of a list box, it contains a list of countries and does not display in alphabetical order in Firefox, but does display correctly in other browsers such as safari, chrome and edge. Is there any configuration to resolve this issue?

Firefox DE set as the default browser. When clicking an external link, a new window is opened with one tab, the URL address bar is blank. Restarting in troubleshooting mode does exhibits the same behaviour.

If anyone else can duplicate this issue I will file a Bugzilla report.

As of a week or two ago I can no longer save URLs to bookmarks folders in my bookmarks toolbar. I can drag and drop it but nothing happens, does not save in that folder. Neither can I save a URL via clicking on the star then choosing a folder. Doesn't stick in the folder. How can I fix this.

I updated. There was then supposed to be a 're-store session'. Didn't happen. And I'm not about to read a thousand pages of twaddle to find out why. Firefox actually just sucks. My tech installed it. I'm going back to Safari.

When using Firefox on OSX (Ventura 13.4) after about 1 day Firefox slows down so much I have to quit the application and restart it. Then it is back to normal speed. I'm not sure if this is an OS-X issue or Firefox issue, but restarting the app fixes it for a few hours, then its incredible slow again.

I cannot get my extension e.g. OneNote clipper to work or be visible on my toolbar? I have tried suggestion but still not visible or working on my toolbar. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi

Can anyone finally explain to me how can I get rid of the most annoying Google pop up screen in my Mozilla browser? I am unable to find a straight answer, everyone is suggesting some sort of plugin that blocks popups but it didn't work for me.

I often restore tabs and browser sessions using the Tab Session Manager addon, with lazy loading and the discarded property enabled.

This loads tabs quickly with their favicons, but sometimes it fails to load certain tabs and loads new tab pages in their place instead which gets really frustrating. I could turn off the discarded property, but then it loads the page again and adds an entry to my browsing history which I don't want, it doesn't when the property is on. If I turn it off entirely then all the tabs would load, and too many at once would lag my computer.

Sometimes though, Firefox just doesn't load favicons and I want to load them manually. I'd like a way to load the favicon for a tab without loading the whole page.

[<script src="moz-extension://...averylong guid.../injectedPasswordless.js" type="text/javascript"></script>]

This script (without the brackets) is being added to my WordPress site Text Editor. I substituted the long string of numbers with the words ... a very long guid ...

I have contacted all developers of plugins for WordPress and now I realize it only happens when I edit my site in Firefox. It does not happen in Chrome or Safari, these 2 browsers do not produce this script. It also occurred to me that moz is short for Mozilla (not Moz the SEO expert).

If I only click into a text editor while editing my site the script is added to the text editor!! I have disabled most of my Firefox addons and it still happens. Please advise. What is this?

I am currently unable to view any file activity or ownership information in Google Drive in a shared folder. I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:

• Quit and reopen firefox
• Relaunched firefox in safe mode/extensions disabled
• Cleared cookies
• Tried in other browsers (works in Librewolf, Brave and Chromium; doesn't work in any Firefox browser (Nightly, beta, standard)

Every time I do a search for services "near me" (hospitals, hotels, etc.), Firefox is using an out-of-date five-year-old location. Very frustrating! How can I change this? Anyone's help is much appreciated - I just haven't been able to find a link to help me fix it!
