If I try to use Messenger, I get an error message that I am not connected to the internet. This is just within the last 24 hours, but some are saying it's been doing that since the last update. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

Good day. I just noticed that saving a bookmark to an Amazon page shows the full address in the title of the bookmark now, instead of the description of the page. I checked and this does not happen on other sites, like YouTube, where the video title is still given correctly. This make it very hard to find the bookmarked Amazon items. Thank you for your help. Love Firefox! PS: I'm a Firefox "Power User" when it comes to Bookmarks. I have over 8000 bookmarks and regularly back them up. I have some other suggestions regarding Bookmarks in Firefox if you are interested. Regard, K

The taskbar stops popping up (it is set to hide) after I minimize then maximize Firefox. I know Fn + F11 will solve the problem, but I do not want to have to do that every time I maximize. I don't why this behaviour is desirable, but I'd like to turn it off as it wastes a lot of time. Thanks Phil

Sometimes I get notifications from Firefox which send me to "usefulcontentsite.com" (don't click this, might be harmful!) and when I click them, uBlock Origin blocks them. So I'm pretty certain that is spam (or worse). However, I could never attribute this to any page or maybe some harmful extension I have installed. Also, I mostly block site's requests for notifications.

Here is the list of installed add-ons: - ClearURLs (recommended by Mozilla) - Firefox Multi-Account Containers (official extension) - KeePassXC-Browser - uBlock Origin (recommended by Mozilla) - User-Agent Switcher and Manager (recommended by Mozilla)

So imo nothing exotic here.

Does anyone here have a clue where those notifications might come from?

It seems that this problem is common in firefox community. So first of all I basically tried all default troubleshooting steps such as dealing with cookies (turning off, tuning on, exceptions), cleaning data, cleaning cache, security settings, etc etc, even though I am on freshly installed firefox.

So lets see now, problem is with https://vk.com/ website. It works until processing my login info. After I enter necessary credentials, it reloads and just produces infamous error. Network monitor displays loop of login.vk.com domain migrating cookies to login.vk.ru which restores them and then finally trying to open actual account php page starts the loop anew. Well until NS_ERROR_REDIRECT_LOOP stops this shamelessness. Resetting all browser data back, just enables me to enter my credentials again and the same process starts again. I can access this website from the same network from different browsers from different devices and operating systems.

Currently I encounter this problem on recently installed Arch linux, with basically dwm and firefox, and since I had very rough time with how unpredictable this system were so far, I don't know how much it is browser issue, so I think I should mention it.

Thank you in advance.

My passwords are saved on both my browsers, (firefox & safari), I've checked and double checked them. The password works on Safari just fine, no problems there.

I tried typing the email/password in on Firefox. Several times. No luck. I tried removing and retyping the email/passwords into the vault. No luck. I tried shutting the browser down and opening it up again. No luck. I tried restarting the laptop. No luck.

Does Firefox have a problem with Post.News?

With automatic updates, does Firefox actually notice when the computer's operating system no longer meets the system requirements? Will the update still be carried out, even though this could lead to problems with use, or will Firefox stop the updates automatically?
