Hi All.

If I use a Private Window and start typing a URL of a site I visited before in Private, right after I type the first 2 of 9 letters, it fills in the other 7 letters.

Is Firefox remembering that site or is my default search engine, DuckDuckGo?

Hello, in YT bar when you change video quality/sound etc, there is something missing.... im not a native english speaker and it is hard to explain this to you, so i have some screens for you to understand it :)

The first screen where the problem is, is in Mozilla Firefox and the second one is in "Opera" and there is no problem with this. I don't know if i did something or it is mozilla problem so please help :)

On gmail "https://mail.google.com/mail"

I am already logged into my main account, when I click on my profile picture in the top right in order to add accounts/sign into other gmail accounts, I get this error:

"403. That’s an error.

We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know."

I tried clearing cookies and no help.

Bare in mind this is on a fresh firefox install on a new desktop, I have been using firefox on my other desktop with no gmail issues like this.

I have a slight problem. I'm currently using Firefox 116.0.3 and it seems that it can't update. The automatic updating will run, and then it will fail (this is all the time when using Firefox). It will recommend me to download the newest version from the website, but then the CDN will and I will be presented with the "connection was reset" error. This happens both on my Windows 10 and Windows 11 machines. Both are running Firefox 116.0.3.

Funnily enough I tried to see if I could download the newest version on Edge (Chromium), which it could but the version I got from the website was the same version I have now. I wonder if this is something to do with my region as I'm based in China and I'm aware that some software can have...problems.

Also, when trying to download version 122.0, it is fantastically slow and will often fail to complete.

Is there anything that could be suggested as I really don't want to use Edge.

Hello.

I use the "Forget" button regularly. Recently, I've noticed that complete browser history (cookies and all) are all being deleted even though only 5 minutes or two hours are selected.

Any others having this issue? Doug

When Content Type PDF is set to Open in Firefox in Settings, some hyperlinks (see 'Download PDF' on https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.00923) will navigate to the hosted PDF without downloading to my computer. Others (see 'Download PDF' on https://www.overleaf.com/project/65c142c6d78ec5a8a34636b0) will download to my device then open the downloaded file in browser. (I am also interested in what causes this distinction in the first place.)

When it is set to Save File, both types of links will download to my device without opening.

In my experience with other browsers, the behavior is similar to the first case, but downloaded files are not opened upon finishing downloading, only doing so if the file is clicked on in the download menu during or after downloading. Is there any way to replicate this behavior?

About a week ago, Firefox began updating itself every time I started it upon powering up, then it wouldn't connect to the internet. Other browsers, including Chrome, Epic, Yandex, & Edge, connect to the internet. I read the advice about interactions between FF & antivirus. Bitdefender (BD) & Windows 11 are up to date.

Until today, I could wait a few minutes, FF would connect, then I'd sync FF, extensions would return, & everything was fine. Today that stopped working.

I went to FF settings & selected "no proxy," & that didn't help. I turned off BD, & that didn't help. I reset Windows network, & that didn't help. I turned off the computer then turned it back on, & that didn't help. I ran a complete system scan, through BD, & that turned up nothing. I'm out of solutions. Please help. Thanks.

On starting FF now there is no focus, so other prog's can't e.g. open FF then download or enter a link, etc. directly. That is is a huge nuisance. Also Ctl+H or B (History or Bookmarks) don't work until the cursor is clicked within FF which is a major concentration breaker. Is there something in the settings to give FF focus when it opens like it has always done in the past? I don't like changing things in there without guidance. It's not just me, my wife's laptop is having the same issues.

Texting images via Google Voice had always worked in the past.

Now it does not in FF, but succeeds in Chrome. "Server error" is the FF response.

What has changed? Latest FF on Win11.

I want to be able to start a live stream in Mighty Networks - all seems to work, except the go live button is blanked out. I tried all the usual up to reinstalling firefox and generating a new userprofile in windows 11 and getting a brand new firefox version running in the new userprofile. With other browsers like chrome it just works fine.

On my latptop running windows 10 firefox does not encouter this problem.

Any suggestions are very welcome, I can of course switch browsers but would prefer to see this issue resolved.

Curious to hear if any other users encounter the same issue,

Thanks for any help provided,

Bart

I have recently reinstalled windows and then installed Firefox. When I go to settings then click on an item Firefox freezes.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled (with revo uninstaller) but it still happens.

Would appreciate suggestions.

Hi , FIREFOX IS UNABLE TO OPEN MY WEBSITE www,gpecompany.com please do the needful in order to open the website.

i received the below message

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.gpecompany.com.

If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

   Try again later.
   Check your network connection.
   If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

So today, February 17th 2023, the first time I turned on my computer, opened firefox, then went to a website (Twitch) the site was loading very slow and while thinking "oh is Twitch having issues again?" my computer completely crashed, which has never been caused by firefox or any browser before. I started my computer back up and firefox itself wasn't working properly, opened a separate browser to troubleshoot my issues, so I did run in troubleshoot mode, I do have a "old firefox data" folder on my desktop, I tried copying the suggested files on there to the new profile folder. My bookmarks bar won't show my bookmarks even though I can see all my bookmarks under the manage bookmarks view. The 3 bar menu on the top right of the browser won't do anything when I click it so I have to do the "alt" key option of menu for everything. I did a security scan of my computer because I got paranoid and everything is showing as fine, so I don't know what could be causing this other than maybe the recent update. I didn't have a lot of extensions just UBlock Origin, Tabliss, and Honey. Should I just uninstall and reinstall firefox?

Suddenly, now on FF 119.0.0.1, JPEG Images no longer open in new tab when clicked with mid-mouse-button (previous behaviour, wanted), instead they get downloaded, safed to DL-folder, and maybe opened in 3rd-party-app. I tried to change the Open-with settings, but to no avail - there's no option to 'Open in Firefox'/Internally. (Only Open with../Download)

I've tried older guides on the topic, which didn't apply here it seems, also cleaned cache, etc.

Godaddy does not work at all on Firefox or in private. I had one add on and I disabled it. Godaddy still does not load Godaddy. Shall I simply remove Firefox and reinstall. I've spent 9 days now chasing this problem. Godaddy works fine with Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I no longer want the hassle of Godaddy issue.

I want to be able to open, say, pdf files and NOT have them saved in the downloads directory unless I mark them to be saved in the open dialogue. Firefox worked that way for years. I reported this as a bug, I think in V.101. After much palaver, some of it irrelevant, the bug was reported fixed, but it has not been.

The bug number — it changed frequently — I last noted down was 1738574.

Cannot open iherb.com website - involve.asia is blocking. What is going on here? I wouldn't think it was a Firefox issue but I do not have this problem with other browsers.
