Firefox Support Forum

I have been using igHome as my Firefox home page for many years. Yesterday when I opened Firefox multiple porn pages kept opening. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and that didn't help. I tried CCleaner and Malwarebytes to scrub any issues but that has not helped. HOWEVER, if I log out of igHome the multiple pages do NOT open, so apparently this problem is related to my igHome login.

I am using Windows 7 on this laptop and I understand that is no longer supported, but is there any way to remove whatever is causing these sites to open when I log in to igHome?

Please note this problem does not occur on a newer laptop running Windows 10. I am able to use igHome with no issues.

Thanks!

Hi.

When logging into my account at NameSilo, it logs out immediately.

One would think it has to do with their site. But it does not happen with Chrome or Edge.

With Firefox, login happens, then immediately it logs out. Procedure can be repeated ad infinitum.

When simply closing down and reopening the browser, it works, i.e. each second restart it works.

What could be the reason for this predictable problem?

Thank you for your wisdom in advance!

I think my firefox is infected in some way. I am constantly getting phishing pop-ups on the lower right hand corner of my screen when using the Firefox browser. They claim to be from McAfee, Windows and other legitimate places and tell me things like viruses have been detected, but scans of my computer do not detect any. They all come from something called 5qlql.azure.net or something similar to that.

Would someone please explain to me WHY? all the support teams like HP tech support, Wordpress tech support most independent support teams want me to drop Firefox and install Chrome Edge ? Both want to take over my computer and things in those browsers are much harder to navigate to want different p/w etc. I am in the process of them doing so at present and I think it sucks plus I have to change a whole lot of other things just to access what is easy on Firefox...............DUH..........

After the update to 115.0.1 the hourglass symbol ('Wait') won't stop blinking. I've restarted and checked the task manager. Low power usage for everything and restarting changed nothing. ??

Thanks.

Hi! I just wanted to log out from Sync on another machine. I have a master password set. When i want to logout, it asks for the Masterpw. Anyone else thinking, this is bad, from a security point of view? Let's just say, you found a shady site or installed a shady plugin, or someone is shouldersurfing you maybe under pressure. The "Logout and delete everything" would not be possible without giving out your master PW seems a bit awkward.

When I open my Firefox monzilla browser and click onto an article in the MSN window, I see a box saying sign in to ost. When I try to sign in, another window appears showing, " Do you want to sign in with your Microsoft users or Gmail account or Facebook. I click Microsoft and the windows dissapears. This only happem with monzilla. If I open Edge, I can instantly comment without being asked to sign in

I have two websites listed as exceptions in my autoplay settings that I cannot remove. Please see the attached image to see the addresses.

I cannot remove these websites and I cannot change the settings to block all audio & video.

Anyone have any idea on what might be going wrong and how to fix it?

I am using the current versions of Firefox on my 2008 MacPro, My 2014 MacBook Air and my 6th Gen iPad.

Thanks!

Hello, since many weeks I try to get into this link : https://www.enni-kundenportal.de/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/SAP/ZUMCUI5_ENNI/index.html , but firefox makes no connection. What is wrong? Do I have to change something in the settings? With "Chrome" I get into this page instantly, but Chrome is not the browser I want to use - Firevox is my standard browser. Can I get help, please?

I'm having a problem with embedded content being displayed in-frame such as tweets and media previews. I'm pretty sure it's caused by one of the settings I've added to about:config/prefs.js but I'm not sure which one and I've been trying to figure it out for weeks. I've attached an image showing what I see instead of media previews. Can someone help me identify which line in prefs.js is causing this to be blocked?

Also one other short unrelated question. I've noticed that some of my preferences get moved or copied to another file that firefox spawns called InvalidPrefs.js

Does this mean those prefs are outdated and do not work anymore?

Most of my bookmarks has suddenly changed address to https://translate.google.no. I do not have the dating of this change, but i assume it has happened in 2023. The individual names/titles of these bookmarks with new address, has not not been changed. I have the 115.0.2 (64 bit) version of the Firefox on my PC, and only one (1) Firefox profile.

After I had taken backup of the newest bookmark, I tried to restore the bookmark-files from the backup library. Unfortunately these older bookmark files also had the same problem with changed address to https://translate.google.no.

What can i do to reset the bookmark-adresses from https://translate.google.no to the original bookmark-addresses?
