Hi jscher2000,

my apologies for creating again a new question: still being unable to reply directly due to the "unexpected error" message.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

Yes, following your instructions I now can see and access the attachements. I cannot still opening them, only download them. It is not perfect but at least I can have access to the attachments without having to exit Firefox and go to Acrobat.

Thanks again!.

Hello Firefox Community,

I'm reaching out because I've encountered an issue while trying to install an add-on on Gmail, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out. The issue happens with any add-on, but the one I wanted to install is (https://workspace.google.com/u/0/marketplace/app/todoist_for_gmail/815972520808)

When trying to install an add-on, I get directed through to give the add-on permissions and I get thrown to the following error 400 each time (see screenshots). I've already tried a few troubleshooting steps, such as clearing my browser cache and cookies, disabling other add-ons/extensions, and even restarting my browser, but unfortunately, none of these actions have resolved the issue.

I'm sure this problem is a more general issue with Firefox. I reached out go Google and they could not help and the installation was successful on Chrome. I also tried installing other add-ons and a similar problem occurs. If anyone else has experienced a similar problem or has any suggestions for troubleshooting steps I can try, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Additionally, if there's any specific information or logs I should provide to help diagnose the issue further, please let me know, and I'll do my best to provide whatever is needed.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer!

Best regards, Kamil

i made a custom firefox colour setup for my desktop machine, and it doesn't have any option to save it- because of this, on my laptop which is synchronized to my desktop's firefox settings, it is not showing up at all and if i go to firefox colour it isn't there for me to add. so how do i DO this???

i do not want to maker my custom setup public so it is not available to all, it is my own setup using some of my own artwork which i do NOT want made public on the internet.

there MUST be a way to save it however and let my laptop's firefox also display it,m yes???

and on that topic, why isn't it just automatically synchronizing when everything else does?

Basically, I have three different profiles in my Firefox with three different app icons, but only one of has notifications.

For some odd reason, the MacOS notification center is showing the wrong profile. It's like only one of the profiles is visible, or working. I tried resetting it, which is apples way of "deleting" it, but Firefox keeps forcing that particular profile and not my main one.

Hi,

I have got a problem with Mozzila for like a year or two - most of the time the browser is fast and react imidiatelly, but sometimes when i click on any link it only shows grey loading circle in tab name and took about 8-10sec to stop and not load anything. When i try again, linked website is loaded imidiatelly. This happening like aprox. 4-5 times in an hour of browsing web, but sometimes its all good for few hours. Opening even new tabs doesnt help and they are "stuck" in loading for the same time. Then, after that 7-10secs all of them works fine. (When i open new tab and wrote something when it is "stuck" and then when it unstuck then it deletes all what i have typed in adress box and whole tab is in default state). When i close and open Mozilla it works fine but again, just for some time (random duration..). Sometimes, it loads like half page (for example, images are missing).. when i reload site after "stuck" then it loads perfectly fine.

Im using pretty decent PC: Ryzen 5 5600X, HyperX 32GB RAM DD4 3200Mhz, Samsung Nvme SSD 3.0 512GB (now changed to WD black Nvme SSD 4.0 1TB), Aorus RTX 3070, ASUS B450-F Gaming MOBO with 1gbit ethernet card, Win 11 Pro.

Got best internet provider in area (almost no outage, like 1 outage in 2years) - got 1Gbit internet speed (Ookla speed test shows 900Mbit+ download and upload, with ping avg. 0,6ms

I am assuimng, that all components are good because when i play online games for hours it never disconnects or lags or anything, same is for downloading stuff, VPN connection etc...

I have tryied yet (was testing with VPN or other stuff off): 1. clear cache/cookies 2. update Windows / drivers / BIOS 3. reinstall Mozzila without loggin in / importing stuff (few tries) 4. reinstall whole PC 2 times (with changing name of PC), 1x try using Mozzila without even logging in (so absolutely clean Mozzila and Win) 5. update router, reset router multiple times 6. set DNS from auto to Google ones (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.), in router and in PC 7. turn off antivirus and firewall 8. was using many diffrent versions of Mozzila cose it happening like for 1-2years now

Got laptop with same Mozzila acc linked in and synced and there are no problems even in same network / same cable connection

Was trying to google some help or browse your site but there are mostly only common things which I alredy tryied..

Was not using other browser, cose I am used to use Mozzila (suggestions, looks, etc...), so i am trying to avoid solution to change browser...

I kinda-frequently find myself in the situation that Firefox already downloaded an update, but some time passes before I bit the bullet of actually restarting it. So a new update has appeared - but I can't download it until I restart. So I will have to restart, reload session, download new update, restart again, reload session again.

So it would be great to be able to tell Firefox to forget about the already-downloaded update and just download the latest one. Can this be done?

(The reason why I delay restarting is because I have an unhealthy amount of tabs open, typically with many things in flight; so restarting makes me lose those things, plus there's always the possibility of some trouble while restoring all the tabs)

FWIW I'm in the Beta channel.

I have web page that I am printing using different browsers. I have html elements that I have positioned relative and top for each printing page. so that they appear on specific location of print pages.

The positioned elements are just fine in chrome and safari. However in firefox the positioned element is displaying on first page and on second page it is getting hidden (need to add z-index value to show). From third page it is dragging whole content down upto the top position given to element.

Do we have any alternative workaround to position relative elements and top, This is the only issue with firefox.


Thanks.

Today I lost internet access. While it was being restored I was trying to access a local server on my network that does have an https certificate. While the internet access was down I was unable to connect to that server using firefox and I had to fall back to Chrome. I couldn't see any option to ignore or accept the warning and continue at my own risk.

Are there any reports of erased history lately? Perhaps since v122.01? I had history that goes way back.

I few of my profiles have a month's worth I don't sync. I have these two profiles in particular that are quite distinct from one another. Nothing in common, but both only have history for the past two days. None of my related settings have been altered.

I tried replacing places.sqlite from backups, but unless they were backed up that way, it did not help.

Hello forum participants,

since some Firefox versions the setting "browser.fixup.alternate.suffix" no longer works. I found that all "browser.fixup.alternate" entries do not work anymore. After searching the web I found an answer that the fixup.alternate options don't work when the protocol is https. So, because today nearly all Websites use https, this options are completely without function. In my case I want to add the default TLD ".de" if I do not enter the TLD. Is there any place (except source code, of course) to configure this behavior for https, too?

Many thanks in advance! Have a nice day

Marcus
