Hi!

I'm using FF v86 on Pop_OS! (Ubuntu 20.10), as well as on Android, sync enabled. No credit cards are remembered/autosuggested.

Under my Privacy settings I can't find the Forms and Autofill section, at all.

Under about:config all the relevant settings seem to be on: https://i.imgur.com/tCw6ewJ.png

Not even sure how to proceed.

Maybe relevant info: I have an external PKCS11 extension managed by the governmental software for ID cards.

i have used Firefox for years never an issue.

3 or 4 days ago the audio stopped working for no reason. the audio works fine on google chrome, Microsoft edge, video files but not on firefox?

autoplay is set to "allow audio and video" a youtube video plays but no sound. i did notice if i set autoplay to " block audio video" nothing happened, the video played yet no audio. volume mixer shows Mozilla firefox but no sound. what is going on, this is beyond me.

This does not work and hasn't for a while.

"Clearing a single item from the address bar history

   To clear a single item in the address bar history, type or paste enough text for Firefox to show the item in the drop-down.
   Press the ↓ down arrow key or move the mouse, to highlight the browsing or Search history entry to delete.
   To clear the highlighted item, hold down the Shift key and press Delete on your keyboard."

Surely there must be a simple way to do this?

How to force a fresh install / complete uninstall

Hi,

I installed a security certificate (this may or may not be related) and after this Firefox wouldn't open. It stuck in a loop of "firefox is already running but not responding" - choosing to close it wouldn't solve it and the window would pop up over and over, despite me not actually trying to open it again.

I tried terminating the program in Task Manager and a full system restart, but this didn't solve it.

I have tried uninstalling and have also checked AppData to remove everything here. Despite seemingly removing it entirely, when I go to install from scratch it recognises that I am re-installing... so something is clearly still in the system somewhere.

Attempting to re-install eventually leads to a "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible," message.

So, I can't install Firefox at all now. Any advice would be much appreciated as I prefer Firefox and I'd like not to be forced to use Chrome! How do I completely remove Firefox to force a fresh install?

Extra info: I have tried everything outlined here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer I am on Windows 10 Pro and I am installing as administrator.

Thanks in advance.

Firefox is working fine, except it won't load gmail, and gmail works fine in other browsers. I get a tab crash message but no opportunity to submit a report. I copied and pasted the url of the working page from another browser and as before it just crashed while loading.

I have tried clearing history, refreshing firefox without add ons etc., and running a scan for malware.

None of this worked. Any suggestions appreciated.

For some time now, Firefox browser for Linux keeps adding 2 URLs for Firefox to Prefs>Privacy&Security>Permissions>Warn when sites try to install add-ons>Exceptions, even when Remove All Websites is selected, and saved. That is annoying enough, that you cannot keep these 2-URLs removed; however, as of Firefox for Linux v86.0.1, the Prefs>Home>Home>New tabs won't stay saved on Blank Page, as it always has before. It just keeps reverting to Firefox Home (Default). Since I run no add-ons or extensions, and have tried help>troubleshoot info>open directory deleted all related prefs.js files, clear startup cache, tried to set form safe mode, refreshed Firefox, and completely purged and reinstalled to experience the same results, it's looking as if this is truly a newly introduced problem with the latest update. I've been searching for the past week, without any luck, to see if anyone else has commented on this new development, and figured it's time I started the thread. Would be nice if both settings issues were resolved once and for all. It's really not too much to expect settings actually stay set when presumably saved. Please help Mozilla...

Firefox not printing - No Suitable paper - Custom 0x0mm

86.0 - Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical 1 Not sure when it started being a problem, it could have been a recent upgrade or an older one.

Firefox won't print anymore. It sends the page to the printer (Dell 1355cnw) but it sends the wrong page size info. The printer asks for paper - Custom 0x0mm - to continue printing - which I obviously can't supply.

I have checked that I've selected the correct page size (A4) and orientation (Portrait) in Firefox, but even though A4 is selected it still turns up as - custom 0x0mm - at the printer.

I have used both the new inbuilt printer dialogue and the system dialogue (Elementary OS).

about:support - lists the paper size as print_paper_id iso_a4_210x297mm print_paper_height 11.6945 print_paper_width 8.26378

but the printer is obviously not getting that information correctly

I've tried "Reset Firefox printer settings" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox Still no luck

I can print from all other programs.

Printing to file "save to PDF" and then printing the resulting pdf is my work around at the moment but I'd rather have it working properly, and printing directly from Firefox

Each time Firefox has crashed, I've submitted the report. How can I prevent this?

This happened every time 2 weeks or so ago. I cleared the cache and it seemed to work temporarily. I've run Firefox for a number of years now and only within the last month has it given me problems with Plex.

It is my understanding that in Private browsing mode, tabs aren't isolated from each other and all tabs share the same (in memory) cookie jar and thus, for instance, existing third-party cookies are possibly sent in the same private session.

Why multi-account-containers addon is not avaliable in PB when it can be beneficial?
