Every time I browse incognito mode and download files (pdf mostly), then I exit the browser and my files disappear from the Downloads folder in Windows 11. It has been like this for a long time now. I have to remember to cut and paste them to another folder before shutting the browser down, but when I forget it's annoying. Can this be fixed?

PDF won't print full size or "Fit to Page" when printing using Firefox

When I'm viewing a PDF from within Firefox and try to print the page, it shows a smaller version between 1/2-3/4 of the size of the paper. I have "fit to page selected" and this doesn't change it. I try a larger than 100% scale and this doesn't change it either.

However when I download the pdf and pull it up using Acrobat it allows me to print full page, fit to page, scale, etc no problem.

Initially I thought it was my printer, but I removed and reinstalled the drivers for the printer and I don't have this issue with any other program except for printing from Firefox. It's almost like the Firefox browser has too small of a page default set so that it's fitting to a page, but the page is smaller than 8.5x11 printer paper.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

Since about two days ago firefox on both my PC and laptop has been trying to connect to a random website called ponf.linkedin.com that I have no idea where it came out of.

I have no clue why this was but I reset both browsers on both devices + reinstalled windows 11 on my main PC and it only continues happening on my PC now, i've managed to replicate the behaviour by resetting the browser and everytime that happens firefox attempts to connect to this website even though bitdefender blocks it and nothing comes up, no popup or anything as if its just in the shadows.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be and what I should do? any help is appreciated thanks.

when I click on links to take me to website through my email in Thunderbird that I will get an error message that reads "we could not verify the certificate, reason=wronghost"

Do you get the error in Thunderbird or in the browser? What browser?

   But, if I copy link and copy into browser it works fine. 

Is that the same browser as the one which opens when you click the link in Thunderbird (a.k.a. your default browser)?

In answer to these questions: I use Chrome or Duck Duck Go. Duck Duck Go is my default browser. If I copy and paste link from email in browser it opens, but if I click on link in email I get the error message above. Also when you reply the email is a do not reply email so I can't reply back. Please include a good email so I can answer any questions you may have. Thank you

In regular web pages, I'm able to hover over an URL / picture w/ URL behind it, etc.... It shows up on the status bar at the bottom of the page (that's what it used to be called). Sometimes I can't.

Somewhere around the same time as I started noticing this, I had just upgraded to a Win11 computer. So, when I try to hover over a suspicious link, I get nothing!

Is there code these people can put in that shields them from hover? So, we can't see what we're getting into? If so, then I presume if I can't hover, don't click... Right?

TIA

After switching to Firefox from Chrome, after Chrome started acting wierd, especially when it came to youtube, I haven't been able to pay for Ubereats deliveries, all that happens is it stays on the checkout page. making me bring up my phone and pay that way as I can still use the basket I put together.

Tried to report it to Ubereats but whoever was on the other side of the chat, seemed to think the problem was with the phone app and closed the ticket without solving anything.

How someone here can help figure out why it's happing.

I've already tried disabling my adblockers and security, no luck

I've attached my list of extensions just in case

Is there any way this search tool can be nailed into the search options?

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...

Hi

We recently implemented CatoCloud to update our company's security measures. However, we've encountered an issue where Firefox updates are not possible on PCs configured with CatoCloud. The suspected cause is the TLS Inspection feature. Currently, we've allowed an exception for the entire mozilla.org domain in the TLS Inspection settings to enable Firefox updates.

However, we are concerned that exempting the entire mozilla.org domain might be too broad. We would like to know the specific domains or IP addresses that require exception settings to ensure appropriate configuration. Could you provide guidance on the necessary exception settings for domains or IP addresses related to Firefox updates?

regards,

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.

Hello, I use Firefox as my only browser and I use the shortcuts because they're really helpful. But every time that I lunch Firefox all the pages in the shortcuts "call" their websites, I see it from pihole and all the requests are made every first lunch of Firefox. Probably it's something related to the cache and to give better perfomances in case I wanna select one of those shortcuts, but I don't want that all of them make a "call" to their respective websites. I think it's something related to privacy and freedom about what I want to do with mt browser. Is there an option to block those connections? In case there isn't an option is possible to implement it? Thank you so much

For the last several months, I have been unable to get audio input from any device working on Firefox. The mic inputs work in all other apps and browsers, are appropriately permissioned on Windows 11, and appear in the Firefox permission windows. No actual audio is received by the website.

I have installed Firefox clean, rebooted countless times, tried the Beta and Dev channel releases, and disabled all extensions, to no avail. I have ensured that I am on the latest releases, have tried various devices, run virus scans. I have included images of the Windows sound settings showing working Mic levels, Firefox showing the device in permissions, etc.

My sound drivers are up to date, and mics work in all other browsers and apps. This is limited exclusively to Firefox.
