Bonjour,

je ne peux plus accéder à mes mails sur le site Swisscom... Swisscom m'indique que le problème viendrait de Firefox ? Pouvez vous résoudre ce problème Merci

Hi all,

I’ve been using Firefox for a while now, but coming from Chrome, I’m finding some aspects of Firefox’s cache management and tab behavior a bit inconvenient, and I wanted to share my thoughts.

The issue:

When I restart Firefox (version 133.0.3-1), it loads webpages from the disk cache, which is fine because I’ve set browser.cache.disk.enable to true and browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 2, it will always make a request to the server on restarting Firefox with the default value of 3. However, the problem arises when I open new tabs — they also load from the disk cache instead of requesting fresh content from the server.

What I’m looking for:

   A way to have Firefox:

Load webpages from the disk cache when restarting the browser (which I want, and I have set browser.cache.disk.enable to true for this). But always make fresh requests from the server when opening new tabs, no matter what the cache settings are.

In Chrome, this behavior is more intuitive — it loads from the cache after restart but always fetches from the server for new tabs, which I find to be much more reasonable.

I understand that about:config provides settings like browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand, but adjusting this option makes Firefox fetch content from the server for all tabs, including those opened after a restart. This doesn’t seem like a perfect solution because it takes away the ability to use the disk cache after restarting the browser.

I would really appreciate it if Firefox could offer more granular control over this behavior, so users could get the benefits of both caching and real-time requests based on the type of tab (restart vs. new tab).

Thanks for your attention, and I hope to see some improvements in future updates!

In the password manager I want to change the URL of the website from https://test.xxx/ to https://test.xxx/login/part1 . I first delete the old entry and then create a new entry with the new URL. The old address is then displayed in the password manager each time. How can I successfully change the address?

How can I ensure my website is mobile-friendly when viewed in Firefox? I’ve been working on my site at Connect Career, and I want to make sure it looks great on mobile devices. Should I use responsive design, and how can I test it on different screen sizes? Are there any tools or tips for optimizing my site for mobile users?

I need to clear the firefox printer queue. All the online instructions I find say to go to help-more trouble shooting-go to the printer section - then click clear. However, when I try this, I can go to help-more trouble shooting- but then no "printing section" shows anywhere on that page. I'm using windows 11 fully updated and most current firefox version. So I still cant figure out how to clear the printer queue. Any advice how to successfully do this will be much appreciated. Thanks

The UI font on Firefox UI appears to be corrupted. See screenshots attached.

The app was installed recently and not used much. When I launched it today the font appears like this. No other apps are affected.

I only have a handful of custom fonts and none overwrite any system fonts.

DO NOT COPY AND PASTE! This is not written correctly! Someone please help with this or correct the code. I tried different ways to do this and nothing works ---- I am beyond frustrated with it.

Security features warning

You may see a warning that “some of Firefox’s security features may offer less protection on your current operating system”.

The sandbox in Firefox makes use of unprivileged user namespaces when creating new processes for enforcing more security. This can be considered a security risk, therefore some Linux distributions have started to restrict its usage and only allow it to work where there is an AppArmor profile.

Such profiles can only cover a limited set of installations paths, including Snap and Debian packages. They cannot however cover some other use cases, such as tarball installations as well as local development builds.

To create an AppArmor profile for Firefox:

In /etc/apparmor.d/, create a file with the name firefox-local

In the file, add the following:

1. This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
2. application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>, include <tunables/global> profile firefox-local /home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater} flags=(unconfined) {

   userns,
   # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
   include if exists <local/firefox>

}

Replace <USER> with your Linux user name. This assumes the Firefox install is at $HOME/bin/

Once you have saved the file, run sudo systemctl restart apparmor.service in the Linux terminal.

My computer is a mac running OS X Yosemite. When I tried to update I got a message saying that the update was not compatible (My operating system is too old?) I had to reset back to an earlier version of Firefox. Is there some way I can make an update that will allow me to keep using Firefox on my machine?

Ive been told that firefox does not support https://web.minidisc.wiki/ (Web minidic pro) and only google chrome does. I hate google chrome. how difficult would it be for firefox to support usb devices like a minidisc recorder player. I guess its down to drivers or some form of plug in? Could firefox be made to support my minidisc or is it too much of a security/software performance issue? Cheers Mark

My Firefox browser has ceased working on my Mac Mini (OS X 10.10.5) - have tried several update downloads, all coming back with the message that I cannot update the browser due to the OS I have. What is my next step? Have I lost Firefox as a browser? Suggestions?

About a week ago I started getting the never-ending spinning wheel of doom as Firefox tried to log me in to my account with The Guardian newspaper. My password and username have not changed in years. Can log on via iphone and iPad without a problem and also using thew same username/password combination on other desktop browsers so problem seems to be only with Firefox. Have done all the usual cache clearing etc. Would a recent upgrade have affected this?
