Unfortunately, my workflow involves dealing with multiple PDF files per day. However, for some reason, Firefox's behavior with regards to PDF files is inconsistent.

  • If I set the Action to Save File, Firefox downloads all PDF files, including those that it can normally open in the browser when I click a link (e.g. files hosted in servers that allow direct access to PDF files). As such, my Downloads folder is cluttered and needs to be cleaned regularly to delete the PDF files that were downloaded even if I could have opened them in the browser.
  • If I set the Action to Open in Firefox, Firefox can now open those hosted PDF files in the browser instead of downloading them to disk. However, every time I download a file, Firefox then opens the file in Firefox after downloading, even though I need to edit the PDF file somewhere else.

Would it be possible to set Firefox's behavior so that it does BOTH of these things:

  1. Open PDF files that can be opened in the browser without downloading in Firefox without needing to be downloaded, AND
  2. Do not open downloaded PDF files in Firefox after downloading is complete.

The comment section on various sites is no longer displaying, The Federalist, Townhall, Pjmedia, Hotair, Redstate. All use disqus.com. Settings under privacy and security set to standard. Manage exceptions list all these, including disqus. Turned off, restarted, reloaded sites (not from bookmarks). Works on Edge but not Firefox. Do I just discontinue using Firefox and be done with this? Just checked Firefox for updates-says mine is up-to-date, version 136.0.2.

places.sqlite: this file records EVERY website I've ever visited in a db table! This despite opting out of History and flushing daily It's frustrating that FF surreptiously collects such personal info. Why record every site I visit, date-timestamps, frequency, etc.?

moz_historyvisits_dateindex ON moz_historyvisits (visit_date) moz_places_lastvisitdateindex

As test, I changed the name to places-sqlite.old to see if FF will create a new one It didn't make a new table; re-created the old one.

I need to update FF because of the expired certificates, but would like to clear these out first. Similarly, can I get rid of the icon database? My bookmarks are backed up as JSON and HTML files. I just wished they didn't contain extraneous info

I have Firefox version 136.0.2. I think it was quite recently updated. The right click menu is broken. The choice list is much longer, and the choices "open link in new tab" and "copy link" (ones I tried) do not work. This only started happening this morning. Right click works fine in Chrome. Screenshot included.

Since 2 hours ago the following site has stopped working correctly in Firefox. It was loading normally in the morning(3+ hours ago) but now it does not load any maps etc. It's a weather satellite site. The site is: https://www.wetteronline.de/wetterradar?wrm=7&wrx=38.19,25.97&wrp=periodCurrentHighRes&wrf=true

It works normally in Chrome, and Opera and Edge. But not in Firefox(I have the latest update). I have cleared cache for this, I have tried everything but it does not load the maps.

Does it work for you?

In the screenshots I show the normal loading in Chrome and what it does in Firefox.

For the past few weeks my credit union website has posted the following error code "A connection failure has occurred. Please try again or call the Member Service Center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (907) 563-4567 or (800) 525-9094.

I called member service and they blamed the problem on Mozilla, stating they are slow to update their security protocols to accept GCU's advance security. They refused my suggestion that they reach out to Mozilla and there is no direct way to contact Mozilla Support.

I have used this browzer for years with no problem, and now I can't use it on my online banking site; the only site where this problem occurs. HELP

Mozilla inbuilt login authentication prompts Issue - buggy login user experience

We are currently considering using Firefox ESR as our default browser but experiencing a few issues and one of them is with our configured SailPoint IdentityIQ Single Sign-On Experience, which uses Basic Authentication.

Issue Description First, the login button needs to be clicked multiple times before access to the site is granted. Once signed in, the Firefox inbuilt authentication dialogue appears, prompting the user to log in again (see the attached screenshot). The landing page is only presented after clicking the login button several times. This creates a poor user experience, sometimes causing pages to load improperly. Interestingly, the same process works seamlessly in Edge Chromium.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken I have already attempted the following: 1. Temporarily disabled all custom and security settings in mozilla.cfg and config.json. 2. Temporarily disabled Firefox Tracking Protection. 3. Allowed third-party cookies for the specific URL. 4. Upgraded Firefox Version to 128.7.0 5. Since our Firefox browser is significantly hardened, I have also enabled and reconfigured the following settings in mozilla.cfg to ensure Basic Authentication is allowed, functions properly, and suppresses Firefox’s authentication prompt, but without success:

network.http.phishy-userpass-length = 255 network.http.use-basic-auth network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-non-fqdn network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris security.enterprise_roots.enabled security.enterprise_roots.enabled

Observations from SailPoint Team Our colleagues from SailPoint have tested the setup in their environment, and according to them, it works as expected. However, their browser is not hardened, and they have leveraged the SailPoint UI for authentication instead of the built-in Firefox authentication prompt.

Further Investigation • Is there a specific configuration required in the user profile settings? • Network trace analysis shows 404 errors on GET requests and the following error codes on POST requests: • 302 Redirect: Mozilla Documentation • 408 Request Timeout: Mozilla Documentation

Next Steps Is there a specific security setting that needs to be enabled or disabled? Are there any particular Firefox enterprise policies we should modify? I have also attached screenshots for reference. Let me know if you need specific logs or network traces for further troubleshooting.

I can log onto all of the webpages that require a UN & PW except www.spectrumbusiness.net I have turned off pop-up blockers, cleared the cache, restarted the modum, and restarted my computer. I still can't log on with Firefox but I can log in with Google. When I try to log in, this is the message that I get: "We're sorry, something didn't work quite right. Please try again. NETGE-1000." I use Firefox almost exclusively so I don't want to have to go to Google to log in for just this site.

Hi,

On my "new tab" page, the "add a shortcut" button is missing. I can pin, unpin, move, and dismiss shortcuts freely, but only those which automatically appear. Unfortunately the page I'd like to pin is not in the auto-generated shortcuts list (even expanded to 4 lines). It is in my recently bookmarked pages, but the context menu there does not allow adding it to the shortcuts. I use Windows, Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-13) (64-bit).

Thanks for any help, Pat

Okay, I give up. So, Facebook is or has implemented this Turn on two-factor authentication or whatever it is. What this means for me at the moment is that I am unable to access my Facebook account as it is now forcing me to use this Two-factor authentication thingie, despite that I do not have a mobile phone. (yes, I know it's unusual in this day of age not to have one. I did have one at one time, but for the moment I have no interest in getting another one). I would rather use my laptop anyway.

Doesn't Firefox have a Two-factor Authentication thing that I can use with Facebook? Without a mobile phone using the Firefox browser on a computer or laptop?

Now, from what I can see, Facebook is offering 3 ways of doing this. #1) Authentication app, like Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile. #2) Text message (SMS). #3) Security Key. So, because I do not use or have a mobile phone, I was guessing that my option would only be #1 Authentication app, like Google Authenticator ... which I have never used before, and while reading up on it, I keep reading that I can only use it with the Google Chrome browser?!? If that wasn't bad enough, I typically use Microsoft Outlook, not Gmail. So, I am at a loss at this point.

Again, I do not have a mobile phone. Doesn't Firefox have a Two-factor Authentication thing that I can use with Facebook? Without a mobile phone using the Firefox browser on a computer or laptop?

Help please.
