hi I would like to download and install firefox for android which if I understand correctly is named fenix, without going to an app store. I don't see a direct link on the main pages on the website. I noticed at https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/ it looks like it might be possible to get the apk. My concern would be does this violate any terms or licenses? Is this 100 percent ok to do? Also does the firefox owners have anything written answering this? There are websites that imply sideloading firefox might be considered using without permission and I definitely don't want that.

Since updating Firefox I can no longer connect to known good sites without getting "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue".

This includes U.S. government sites! For instance, try connecting to https://covidtests.gov/ .

Why completely block access to the site? Why can't I make exceptions or tell Firefox to accept the risk and continue?

This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.

So my internet speed is around 100 Mbps but i only get 10 to 12 Kbps when download a small file, idk why because i tried using ethernet and it is still 10 to 12 kbps (sorry for bad english)

Several weeks ago, I was attempting to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. In the process, I deleted Firefox (using Revo Uninstaller) and then reinstalled it, downloading it from the Mozilla website. Unfortunately, it didn’t run, giving me, at different attempts, different error messages. In the time since then, I have read many suggestions from many different websites and I have tried some of these suggestions, all with no success – until today. I have just completed the suggestions made on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1327628 and Firefox is now back, working. I am happy and grateful, but not finished. None of my personal data came with the currently functioning version of Firefox. Since the re-emergence of Firefox, I have been reading several websites dealing with copy, backup and restore of my Firefox profile. Right now, the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ shows 5 folders: Two of the folders show 11/11/24 as the date modified (probably the date of the download from Mozilla). The folder 0dppjrfa.default contains one file, times.json, dated 8/11/2020. The other folder, ru82tlj5.default-release, has 97 items, most dated 11/11/2024. The remaining three folders are all dated 12/2/24 (today, as I write this). One folder’s name ends .default, the second name ends .default-release, and the third name ends .default-release-thirteen digits. The question that I am asking here is what do I do next to, hopefully, bring back the personal date I had with Firefox before my updating to Windows 11. Should I delete the folders dated 12/2/24? What, if anything, is the significance of the folder whose name ends in 13 digits? I’m hoping someone will be able to tell me how to fix these Firefox problems. And if I can, then I hope to be able to do something similar to help me bring back Thunderbird as well. Thunderbird became unfunctioning at the same time as Firefox. Thank you.

Hi, my session with a lot of open tabs has been lost due to a crash. In the profile folder, the recovery and previous files in the sessionstore-backups have been deleted. I tried to recover them using shadow explorer, but these files are corrupted, so I've had no success reading them. Is there a way to fix the corrupted files? Alternatively, because I've had sync enabled for open tabs, is there a log for past open tab synchronizations? If this was stored on the cloud, it may be possible to retrieve that table and restore the list of open tabs that way?

I've been having an issue with picture-in-picture (PiP) mode where the subtitles and rewind/fast-forward buttons (rr/ff) won't follow the video into the small player for Disney+ specifically. I have no issues with YouTube or any other site. The subtitles and rr/ff just stay with the original video player on the site while the video is in PiP mode. I can see the subtitle button on the PiP player, but it is grayed out and I can't click it. I've updated both Firefox and my computer (Windows 11) and reinstalled Firefox, cleared cookies and cache, and still no dice. Any advice? Thanks!

(In the screenshot, the PiP player isn't showing video, but I think that's just because of Disney's anti-piracy software - I can see the video in the PiP player on my screen.)

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

I had a lot of tabs open in Firefox, and they always stayed there even after restarting my PC. But suddenly, all of my tabs disappeared, and I can’t recover them using “Recently Closed Tabs.” Can I get them back?

Wikipedia render Thai fonts correctly. But it seems to render Latin texts and numbers in "TH Charm of AU" font for Thai articles, which I did not set anywhere in the browser (and my operating system). Ticking "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" does not fix it either. But it renders fonts correctly in English version of the same article. (See the attached images).

Any ways to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, earlier in the day I pressed a keyboard shortcut on accident when picking up my keyboard and has changed google results quite dramatically. I grabbed my keyboard and had a menu pop up on the left side and after i closed it noticed my google results had a scroll bar now. The results page only presents itself on the left half of the screen and a scroll bar has appeared on both the right side, cutting off text, and bottom of the page. These scroll bars only move a tiny bit and are quite unnecessary, but makes scrolling a pain as I have to be sure I am outside the new scroll bar area as they take precedent from the main scroll bar. I have googled Firefox's keyboard shortcuts and haven't found the one i need to fix this. Before I'm asked, no I do not have crazy zoom on and no zooming in does not fix this problem.

Ok, this is a weird one.

I can't load https://duckduckgo.com. It breaks search in a new tab, but I also can't visit it directly from the url. The tab simply does not load.

I've cleared cache, cookies, and extensions. I've refreshed Firefox more than once.

I can visit https://html.duckduckgo.com. I can visit https://lite.duckduckgo.com.

However! In a private window, I can visit https://duckduckgo.com It still breaks in a secondary normal window.

No other site appears to be broken.

When I try to open my LastPass vault: https://lastpass.com/vault/ The "LastPass •••|" logo is displayed, but nothing further happens.

This page is being loaded correctly by Safari and by Google Chrome.

Not sure I selected the proper category, but I've been coding websites since for longer than I like to admit.. (About 1998 memory serves me right..).. Anyhow, at this point I maintain 3 websites.. Here's one of them: https://www.pbl-sn3.com As you will see there are many pages involved.. I used to able to right click on a photo or graphic and Firefox would tell me what it was, its filename, and even it's size.. But no more.. This was a really handy feature that kept me a Firefox user ever since I discovered Firefox..

Now, instead of right clicking on it (so I can find it easily on my PC using a great little program called "Everything" (see https://www.voidtools.com/ which is amazing in its own right..), I'm stuck viewing the Page Source, finding the file in all the jumble of code, etc. etc. etc... (Yeah, I can right click on the image and open it in a new tab, but it tells me nothing about its SIZE either.. Dang!

So am I the only guy that's ever complained about this? (I recently downloaded Google Chrome which appears to be a less-than-perfect knockoff of Firefox and also lacks this "feature".. But my bank likes it whereas they would no longer allow me to do online banking with Firefox.. A pesky but unrelated issue here, I know..)

Anyhow, if there's a quick fix for my problem, I sure would appreciate a how-to implement it! Thanks for "listening"! - Ol' Bill in California

I can't watch Twitch live stream and videos after updated.When I watching live stream on Twitch, the stream start showing some old tv effect but in colours green. I thought was Twitch problem, then I changed to watch video from my college by using their website. But it still has that effect. But I can watch Youtube videos with no problems. Then i changed to use Microsoft Edge to watch Twitch, surprisingly with no problem. I already updated to the latest version in Firefox. Can anyone help me Please. Thank You

I can't see the download button on my Firefox settings. Where is the download button on Firefox? How can I download a picture or anything else into my phone using the Firefox browser?

Thanks

Cannot open Analyst links on eTrade website. Looking at a particular stock and clicking on the Analysts link opens another window showing individual analysts and articles relating to their opinions of this stock. I cannot click on either the analyst's name nor the articles associated with their name. eTrade customer service says Firefox is not working well on their site. I tried Microsoft Edge and everything was fine. Is there some feature I should enable on Firefox or is this a shortcoming in Firefox?
