I've just updated to Firefox 125 and now, when I start to type in the URL bar and get my suggestion dropdown of previously visited pages, I no longer can see the actual url for each entry. All I see is the top level name for each entry.

This is not helpful, as I may have perviously visited a number of pages on that site and the information shown does not give me a way to differentiate sufficiently between those pages.

How can I get the exact url displayed on the suggestions dropdown.

How can I get those top level descriptions NOT displayed, so that only the urls are shown?

Problems since Thunderbird updated (automatically?) to beta version (63.0). Unable to send from one of my two companies' accounts, despite having been in ongoing communication with their tech support (STARTMAIL) that my settings are correct. They were correct. But now "Account Settings" are not visible (just a tiny non-functional window) unless I got to Help > Troubleshooting Information where they are merely viewable (see below).

Finally, I uninstalled Thunderbird via control panel on my Windows OS. Then I downloaded (from Mozilla website) Thunderbird version 60.2.1.

It opened with the same issues--unable to send via one account; unable to view under "account settings" the details for any of my accounts. Verified with my optimization software (System Mechanic) that 60.2.1 was the only visibly remaining Thunderbird artifact. Did hard shutdown of computer. No change upon re-starting computer.

I had expected that uninstalling and downloading the prior version of Thunderbird would mean that I would have to go through registering in Thunderbird my various email accounts. I thought that I could do this cleanly (all w. IMAP) & more efficiently (no duplicates or leftovers--seven accts on 1 server; one acct on other server). However, Thunderbird opened already populated exactly as I had it (even open tabs) prior to uninstalling.

The only tweaking I have done this week since Thunderbird updated to beta version were: re-set my Master Password... attempt to change the accounts on one server (my ISP's) from POP3 to IMAP (which doesn't appear to have stuck as IMAP, despite speaking to their tech support), but those accounts appear to be working... deleting and re-instating 3x my email accounts with the other server (which is IMAP) due to the problem of not being able to send email's (I have been in ongoing contact with their tech support)--each time applying the new password provided by my server.

BTW, earlier in this process I contacted my antivirus tech support. And I've tried sending with my antivirusware shut off, but login to the server still failed.

Help, please!

Hi,

First, this is not a complaint. Firefox is an outstanding product that makes me very happy.

I though I could post the following, because this community strives to make it better.

In a nutshell, I have a very fast Internet connection, up to 6Gbs/1Gbs speed, and Firefox is not able to go over .9/.8

I attach are 2 tests, one with Firefox and one with Chrome.

Note that when using it for anything else than speedtest, Firefox does not feel slow at all.

I'm not requesting a fix, just thought that somebody would like to know.

I need help with fixing certs I beleive were changed by an application. I found some files in an application I installed through another without fully looking at the extra packaged material. One seems to be a configuration file for CA certs and the other is a list of SSL certs taken from Mozilla that were included with the intent of editing trusted user certs. I now see the evidence of a Linux device using my Firefox. To me, that is pretty clear evidence that Shell was used for some connection. So, with that, I'm assuming the certs on my device are not correct, and need to be fixed. Please let me know what I can do for this and if there is any other information you can give me on how to find out more about what to do. Unfortunately, there are also files that seem to also change user to a fake user while they gain root as guest. Any additional information including removing and replacing all certs wouldbe very helpful. Im trying to get to a certain point of restricting access and making a move to alert the correct people in Github and a couple of others with/towards some of the files before I do any kind of reset as I am not fully sure how tainted the restore might be.

After the latest auto update I can no longer access any of my management screens on my private network with self signed certificates. This is a real problem. I have attached a couple error screen grabs, but ALL of themn are the same. The information link says there is no workaround!

So how do I recover access? Chrome works just fine ... so it is def. a Firefox problem.

Since this week's update of Firefox Developer edition when the browser is restarted tabs do not load until I reset the browser.

I suspect an add-on but have not been able to determine which one.

This is happening on multiple (3) physical computers.

I just started a new work role and haven't been able to find the time to troubleshooting of the issue myself.

This has been very disrupting and stressful.

Basically title.

Every time I close the browser and re-open it, the favicons disappear. I use the favicons to navigate to websites on my bookmark toolbar, but they're missing from my regular bookmarks, too.

I found an old thread that appeared similar, and the solution was to take a working copy of the favicons.db file and re-import it if it breaks (while the browser application is closed). However, this did not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

This has been brought up before, but not with this exact question (not that I could find, at least).

I understand that cookies cannot be synced across devices, but this is not what I am asking for. Is there a way to make firefox sync the list of exceptions? Meaning, only the specified website URL and its status, not the cookies from these sites.

We're exploring adopting a default deny policy for Firefox extensions in our enterprise. However when I tested this by creating a custom policies.json Firefox unexpectedly removed all extensions for me, including the ones I thought I had allow listed. Here is my policies.json but just keeping in the Facebook Container add-on to illustrate:

{

   "policies": {
       "ExtensionSettings": {
           "*": {
               "blocked_install_message": "Only approved Firefox extensions can be installed, please email your request to itdept@example.org",
               "installation_mode": "blocked",
               "allowed_types": ["theme", "dictionary", "locale"]
           },
           "@contain-facebook.xpi": { "installation_mode": "allowed" }
       }
   }

}

What I would like is to to allow pre-approved extensions (including if they already are installed) and all other types of add-on, but remove and prohibit installation of unapproved extensions.

Can anyone assist, please?

I've had all the settings I found in the forums configured correctly for over five years, and they haven't changed. - browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = False. Despite this, the search still occurs in the address bar. Now I'm back to the awful search in the address bar. How can I fix this? Please fix this bug as soon as possible.

Hello,

My name is Grey, and I'm experiencing an issue using Firefox as a browser to open my Outlook mail. For the past three days I have not been able to open any emails as a network error screen appears. Using other devices and other browsers like Edge, the emails open fine, so it is not actually a network issue. This problem only occurs using Firefox, and specifically with Outlook emails. Everything else functions fine and I have not made any changes, besides the regular Firefox update. My computer is also up to date.

What can I do about this issue? I appreciate the advice,

EVERYTHING especially

 * The time to receive the first HTTP response when connecting
 * the time to call up the various css elements that make up the screen
 * the time to call up the img elements on the screen
is too slow.

tooooooooo slow. I waited 36.6s until http response for every new URL open! Of course, I am using a lot of Firefox extensions, but there were no serious problems outside of YouTube, and the same problem occurred after removing the extension, and i also confirmed that the problem caused by web extensions on waterfall(on firefox profiler) was minor.

I can't even guess the cause of the problem, so unfortunately there seems to be no additional information that I can give you. I'll keep following up as long as I can. I will attach some pictures that might help you solve the problem. and you can also approach to my full-recorded firefox profiler data
