Hello, when browsing gallery sites, well, i actually only have one in mind (NSFW https://hitomi.la), each time i move to the next picture previous, picture disappears then there is site background, but only for a moment, then the next picture appears, thus creating flickering effect. Its different from slow loading. It only happens on next unloaded picture, meaning, that if i move back and forth between already loaded pictures then everything is fine. Other browsers, Edge and Chrome, doesn't have that problem, they load pictures seamlessly.

I was wondering if i can do something in about:config, but i have no idea what to change. I also tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it made it even worse.

https://messages.google.com/web/authentication

this is supposed to have a QR code, but it does not load. I have attached a still screenshot below.

I also cannot upload images using Firefox to Messenger. The large purple image is a result of an upload, but it should be a picture of a woman saved from Krita.

I tried a setting called "Refresh Firefox" and that fixed it but only for less than a day. whats going on?

Hello,

For a few days now I've been unable to use Google tools via Firefox (I can't tell if this is due to an update or not).

As soon as a document (usually an editable or navigable area) is opened on the page, it appears completely black. Interactions work correctly at first glance (it's possible to click, write, interact with content that isn't displayed. The problem seems to be purely visual.

I've encountered the problem in all Google Sheet or Docs documents (including when I'm making a new one) and on Google Maps, regardless of location (in the case of Google maps, a notable point is that the map is displayed and then turns black after one or two seconds).

I don't have this problem on another browser, I have it in PM.

Do you have any ideas on how to find the cause and fix the problem?

Have a nice day!

Hi All, I want to block traffic on firefox externally for managed devices via Intune, following the import of the ADMX/ADML files into intune.

Having read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/managing-firefox-intune I have set '\Mozilla\Firefox\Exceptions to blocked websites' to the following; //*.mydomain.com/*

Which works, however, I also want to add hosts that are only resolving on IPs and not DNS. I can add specific IPs if known, but is there a way I can allow IP ranges? Ie

//10.10.*/* (this doesn't currently work) Of the included screenshot, only the wildcard for mydomain.com and the specific IP currently work

I've looked over the link that is recommened in the policy (indirectly) and can't see an option for allowing an IP range. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns

If there is a better way to do this via intune for firefox only, please let me know.

Thanks

Force-Pinning Extension doesn't Appear to Work (GPO in Microsoft AD)

I am having the same issue as this other user here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/17wvuwh/help_pinning_extension_in_firefox_with_gpo/

Preliminaries -- Initially (before trying to force-pin), I had these GPOs enabled:

Extensions to Install -> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4410896/bitwarden_password_manager-2024.12.4.xpi

Prevent extensions from being disabled or removed ->

(Those GPOs above all work.)

What I'm trying to do: Force-pin Bitwarden.

I believe I've followed the documentation correctly (except for not including a "*" case): https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#extensionsettings

I've enabled this GPO with this value:

Extension Management ->

{

 "{446900e4-71c2-419f-a6a7-df9c091e268b}": {
   "default_area": "navbar"
 }

}

After running various "GPUpdate"s and whatnot, the option to uncheck "Pin to toolbar" is still available to click.

I've verified in "about:policies#active" that the JSON item appears next to "ExtensionSettings" and that there are no errors listed in the "Errors" tab.

I've also verified that it appears in the correct location in the Registry.

Since another user had the same issue (Reddit link above), I figured it'd be a good idea to check in with y'all to see if we are missing something.

Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

Hello, When I view some pages with inline video graphics, I see a garbled video frame. I have attached a screen grab from part of one screen. I have no issues with YouTube or other videos. It's just the graphics of some webpages such as looking at an Apple product on their site. I have not had this issue using Chrome under the same conditions. It's like I have a corrupted Codec or something. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I got a new Windows 11 Dell XPS laptop computer and installed the latest Firefox (v133) on it. On my old computer, it was supposedly syncing/saving the bookmarks in the Mozilla cloud or somewhere. However when I try "Import" on the bookmarks panel, it only offers to import Microsoft Edge bookmarks. When I follow the help docs on this forum, it says to use the hamburger menu to go to bookmarks and then to "Manage Bookmarks" which took me a while to find since it's at the very far bottom of the Bookmarks window, not near the three menu items at the top. Anyway, it brings up a window with more bookmark items but they all seem to deal with my current computer and installation of Firefox, which has only a very few default bookmarks. I do not see anything related to bookmarks synced with the cloud. I am logged into Mozilla on the new computer. I do not have an HTML backup file available, since I thought that the bookmarks would be backed up to the cloud and I could always get them there. Two questions:

  1. 1: Is it possible to get my old bookmarks from the cloud?
  1. 2: Is the bookmarks have not been exported to an HTML file, is it somehow able to get them from someplace on the C drive of my old computer? I think it should be possible since the bookmarks must be saved somewhere otherwise, how would it know what the bookmarks are for someone who never exported them to an HTML file? My old computer won't boot due to a power surge but I am able to connect it's hard drive to my new computer and see files on it.

Thanks, Mark

In certain instances, I can no longer copy/cut from Cardbook notes. This happened in last few months. I just have time now to post the problem. I know since then Thunderbird had updates and so had windows. I am on Thunderbird 128.5.2esr and Windows 11 and firefox 133.0.3 I used to be able to select a word or many words and then right click. Then copy or paste would show up as option in a list. Now no list shows up. But control c and control v sometimes works. If I control c and control v within the note that works. I can copy from something like Word and control c and paste using control v and vice versa. But if try control c in notes and then control v in website that does not work. And that is what I use most.

On Windows 11 and a new computer, I ordered some items on Amazon yesterday. After that, I tried to log into my bank account but was blocked by "CloudFront," which appears to be used by AWS. I am not a member of AWS and do not know why this is happening. My bank told me it was "something in my computer," and that their website was up and running. On my older computer, I used Mozilla, and never encountered such a problem. I would appreciate directions and advice.

I am having issues signing in to the playstation store using firefox. It works on edge (although I have the same issue in ungoogled chromium). I have tried refreshing but that didn't work. I uninstalled it and deleted all mozilla folders in appdata, then tried again without signing in to my mozilla account on a fresh install but i'm still having the issue. It might be a windows configuration issue because I don't see why this would work on edge but not on firefox. I've tried disabling all cookie and tracking protection features but I still have the same issue.

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.
