Gmail sign-in: Firefox asks me to insert a security key instead of asking me to scan my fingerprint

I have a fingerprint scanner and a slot for a security key, but I have never used a security key, either in the slot or a USB plugin. When I try to go to Gmail, I enter … (read more)

I have a fingerprint scanner and a slot for a security key, but I have never used a security key, either in the slot or a USB plugin.

When I try to go to Gmail, I enter my gmail address, and then Firefox pops up a screen wanting me to insert my security key, and there are no buttons to change how I verify my identity.

I've hunted all around for what setting in Firefox is causing it, but no luck so far. Ideas?

I encounter PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR when accessing to some websites

mainly github google and stackoverflow

Sometimes "Reload current page" will work, with multiple tries

I am in China and I am using v2ray+v2rayA for accessing foreign websites (it is a necessity)

This issue happen only on firefox, as edge and chrome can access without error

Is there some settings to disable the PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR feature?

macOS 15.6 Firefox 141.0.3 - my preferred browser

I've seen a number of posts regarding this problem since the Firefox 141 update. I've tried a number of suggestions, although my problem seems slightly different.

I can apparently login to reddit OK but when I try to access a subreddit thread, a warning comes up - see image.

I have cleared Firefox site data, cookies, cached files, etc - problem remains.

I have restarted Firefox in Troubleshooting mode - problem remains, so not an extension.

However, https://old.reddit.com has no problems with Firefox, lets me access threads, etc and comment.

No problems accessing reddit with Safari or DuckDuckGo browser.

Min-max-close buttons hidden

If I don't use the custom adjustments in my Chrome css, seven buttons on that right side of the menubar are hidden, including the min-max close buttons.

This is problematic when I'm troubleshooting Firefox, and the css is disabled. If I want to close or take the browser out of max mode, I must move those buttons to the navbar, which has no such restriction accommodating those buttons, not to mention why is it necessary for that min-max close trio to monopolize 20% of the menubar. Waste of space. Inefficient.

I'm also curious why must that frame at the top of this sites pages remains persistent, and follows the user down the page, so that when you're composing, and accidentally (and all to often) touch one of those links, it get superimposed over the message, and you must move the cursor to the bottom of the page get rid of it. Not to mention, that frame shrinks the working area of the page about 30% vertically.

I mean, once you have already navigated to the destination page, and you're composing, how often/likely are you going to need to access that area?

Hello, we were just assigned brand new laptops at work. I had IT install Firefox for me, and I'm attempting to sync my firefox account with my previous one so that I can load all the open tabs I had on my previous laptop. I appeared to have signed into my account just fine on the Mozilla pages, but when I go to the hamburger menu in the top right of the browser, I see no icon for my profile, nor any option for "sign in and sync" like the help guides are instructing me to click on. I can't pull up anything related to syncing in the settings, either. What exactly am I missing? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I got a new PC and tried to sign in to my FireFox account to synchronize. But, foolishly, I ended up resetting my password! Don't know why did that, as I was able to locate my password stored elsewhere. I think this action erased all my data in my online profile & I cannot access my account data (bookmarks, user IDs & passwords) online.

Since my data was still in my old PC, I followed the directions for finding my Profile folder. I copied the folder contents to the Profile folder in the new PC. This has not worked.

I realize I wasn't supposed to copy the entire folder contents, which could be the reason why it's not working. Also, the profile folder contained a large amount of data (3 G). So, it's possible that not all files have been transferred correctly.

Please help me!

Thank you very much! Madoka

In May 2025 all browsers should have removed the default styling for the h1 element when it is nested in a sectioning element (article, aside, nav, section). I went into Firefox Dev Editions user-agent style sheet and noticed that the styling for nested h1 elements is still the same. I'm wondering why that is the case, since I was under the impression that all the major browsers had completed make the necessary adjustments at the end of May 2025.

I'm trying to use Firefox to fill out my tax forms, but while I can save them and view them with Firefox, they're blank when I open them with Adobe or print them. This is, to say the least, NOT USEFUL. What is happening?!?? I'm using Win10 and the latest version of Firefox, and I tried it on an old Mac with the latest version of Firefox as well.

I am on Linux Mint 21.2, and I just updated Firefox (141.0). Now, the bookmarks bar, toolbar, and the tabs (everything above the displayed page), as well as the menu, bookmarks menu, and sidebar, are in light mode even though I have dark mode set (They were dark before the update). I tried playing with the Dark Mode settings to no avail. My system is set to dark mode in general. Are others experiencing this? Is there some sort of fix?
