i always get logged out of all my signed in accounts after i restart my laptop/close the browser, and i don't want to log back in every single time i open up the browser. Can anyone help me?

PS: i already used the custom history setting, where i want the browser to clear everything except logins & cookies.

I have a website that automatically reloads when visiting. In all browsers the refreshed page is considered the same so when pressing the "back" button you return to previous page. Not on Firefox. The refreshed page becomes new page in history and when you press "back" button nothing happens as you return to the same page and it "refreshes" you forward again. Tried on Ubuntu and Windows 10 (desktop versions).

It seems that after turning on sync on a machine that already had locally saved, all the local data is gone. This is very awkward since the recent history is the one I am interested in the most. Is there a way to restore it?

Hi, Google Cloud console doesn't seem to work on Firefox, I did a fresh install of Nightly without any addons,

Firefox version 85.0a1 (2020-12-03) (64-bit)

Console log https://privatebin.support-tools.com/?2324fae1c213ef5c#UZpnYqS/oaoeolkXmQazl0OEMtUDAC3BMYhXe7r8Pso=

Same thing works on Chromium Version 87.0.4280.88 Console log https://privatebin.support-tools.com/?13b56fac78229079#hTu5/0f8QxCouxxuOmpHBtHXHPC4VA4LrPF2j74nHtk=

I'm using a Linux System 5.9.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun, 22 Nov 2020 14:16:59 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any clue?

I'm running Firefox 83.0-2 on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell Precision 7550 laptop, and many webpages have words that look like they are not decoded properly (images below). Everything looks fine when using Chrome. Can anyone think what the issue is?

For the attached Wikipedia page, the pattern looks like it's specific to italicized hyperlinks. I also see it in other places, e.g. any comments in a Python Juypter notebook.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Hello, I'm looking to understand of many files under the .mozilla folder in my Linux. For example what's the purpose of the .final files :

storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/152/{9e7b6fdf-edd6-47fb-999c-2f54cc963498}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/53/{4562690f-c617-4740-abe5-e8869d7d1335}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/40/{a4c42e72-1c9a-4c37-b9be-cd0cd035f828}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/9/{1b1577c8-303e-45ba-aa9d-bb7823893a09}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/9/{f2a48637-ccc9-4a23-96d3-0ae523809c09}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/128/{ea9d0d8d-d727-4d11-9e3b-da1b764c9480}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/221/{0b1bdab1-e554-48a3-b43f-0b17c68104dd}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/218/{535586de-aef0-466e-a4cf-90da164034da}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/218/{54134be4-75db-4c52-870e-cc2a2c6bdfda}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/5/{4d3243bf-25e5-4fae-a116-15133fb85205}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/160/{dca0c7cb-9ed5-47d2-94e8-1dca77bf5da0}.final storage/default/https+++mail.google.com/cache/morgue/41/{fa50b13a-8e88-4f51-982d-20a77958ea29}.final

or wha't the purpose of the files under the storage folder ?

Greetings.

I can't get firefox wound working in flatpak. The only clue:

[Child 84, MediaDecoderStateMachine #7] WARNING: 7fbc13082050 OpenCubeb() failed to init cubeb: file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/dom/media/AudioStream.cpp:330 [Child 84, MediaDecoderStateMachine #7] WARNING: Decoder=7fbc2420b000 [OnMediaSinkAudioError]: file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachine.cpp:3892

Other flatpaks working fine (they use pulseaudio too).

I have Sync setup both on desktop and on my phone (Firefox for Android). If I go on my desktop I can't see the history of my phone, I see only the history from my desktop Firefox. On my phone I can see the history of both. I activated the sync for Bookmarks, History and Tabs on both devices. How could I solve it?

Firefox for Desktop version: 82.0.3 (64 bit) on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Firefox for Android version: 83.1.0 on Android 6.0

Thank you for your help!

Running Firefox 83.0 on Ubuntu (20.04). After upgrading Ubuntu to current version, Firefox will not load Yahoo e-mail in regular mode. Just thrashes and does nothing. All other websites working fine.

Tried safe mode, and Yahoo mail loads just fine in safe mode. As such, I turned off hardware acceleration. Did not help. Then disabled the only extension I had on Firefox. Then outright removed extension. Cleared cache. Nothing.

Yahoo mail still loads just fine in safe mode, but simply will not load in regular mode. I can access the yahoo main page, but if I click into yahoo mail from there it doesn't load that way either.

Thanks for any help!!

Only very recently (last 1-2 weeks?) I've noticed that Google Maps refuses to open the full version in Firefox. I have FF 83.0 in Ubuntu 20.04.1.

You can (try to) force the full version to load with this URL: https://www.google.com/maps?force=webgl

But if I go to that address, a known message pops up at the bottom: "We’re sorry, only the lite mode of the new Google Maps is available at this time."

Same happens in a private window.

If I open it in Chrome browser in Linux, it loads fine.

I suspect this is a Google issue or choice to limit the functionality, but just want to check if other Linux Firefox users are seeing this??

If not, any suggestions for something to try? Like I said, it only became a thing very recently.

Thank you!

I have the firefox browser 83.0 (64 bits) for ubuntu (canonical 1.0) and the platform of amazon music (https://music.amazon.es/) , do not run.

Is the first time that i install firefox, so i do not have older versions in my computer.

What can i do?

I would like to disable fingerprinting. But doing so makes it so I have to resize firefox ever time I launch it. Even if fed the command "--window-size 1700,800" it continues to lunch in a small form factor. Is this fixable without enabling fingerprinting.

OS: Manjaro DE: XFCE Kernel: Linux 5.9.11-3 Firefox Ver: 83.0

Hi Everyone,

I cannot access my Firefox account created with 1 of 2 email addresses I use, I'll call this emailA, and do not have Firefox in an Authenticator app nor can I find the recovery code. The account did have a secondary email address listed. I'll call this emailB. EmailB also gets all alerts when there are changes to the EmailA firefox account such as new system logins and password changes.

Given that emailb gets notifications regarding the account is there a way for me to gain access to the account with emailA as the primary address using emailB?

Failing that, is there support who I can contact to have the account under emailA deleted?

Regards,

Chris

I've just installed the latest Ubuntu OS on my computer and when starting Firefox i get this problem while trying to play the latest YouTube videos where they say "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video." so I've tried to click on the link but then Firefox said my browser was already up to date. I've then tried to disable my adds on and try in safe mode but that did not help. I've tried installing some adds on, that didn't help either. I've tried uninstalling and installing back Firefox, that didn't work. every media.mediasource config are enabled, that didn't work. and when i try using another browser, the media can be played just fine (i used chromium). So if someone has any idea as to what might be causing this issue i'd be grateful (also, older video seems to be working just fine)

Hello, FF82.0.2 I want to change and lock the settings "network.cookie.cookieBehavior" and "network.cookie.lifetimePolicy" for user via the mozilla.cfg. Also I'm using the policies.json (which would be my preferred option for changing the network.cookie..., but it doesn't work neither)

But none of them locked or changed the settings for the user. Is this a known problem or are there any other settings, which affect the cookiesettings?

I am really new to this and there were already old configs from another colleague (which has left the company and there are no documentations).

Thank you :)
