Firefox Support Forum

I'm using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension and it's great. I have a number of containers manually created and use them according to my personal preference. No sites are associated with containers via settings, it's always manual.

Among those containers there's one I use for all things Google (Gmail etc). Which was great, as it allowed me to use both my personal Google account and G-Suite integrated with the workplace's SSO by simply using a default container for work stuff.

I updated Firefox to version 127.0.1, after which I discovered that clicking on Google Docs links in external applications now opens a tab in that custom container I created for my personal use. Which is clearly inconvenient, as most Google Docs links I open are work-related, so my personal account has nothing to do with them. Opening same links from within Firefox, e.g. by clicking on a bookmark, still opens a default container tab.

As I mentioned, there are no explicit association between Google links and that container, the "Limit to designated sites" option is switched off.

Is there anything I can do to revert back to the old behaviour, which is opening every external link in a default container?

I really appreciate everything you do, but I am a boomer (Loud and Proud), I did not get born with a device attached to my hand, I am a digital imbecile.

With all that in mind, it has become too difficult to keep up with the digitalisation, at least in my case. So when you send me suggestions and update procedures I end up just closing everything, too much to read, too stressing, but the suggestions keep coming every time I open the firefox browser. Can I not just keep the version I have and decline any new versions.

I also have a problem in regard to language, it is set to English, but I do not care for US English, I would like to have GB English, but somehow it won't accept that.

What can I do?

Kind regards,

Hello,

I've recently uploaded a custom-made extension to the Chrome Web Store for my personal use and for a few specific users. It's currently awaiting review.

However, I'm encountering an issue where I cannot download and use the extension myself. When attempting to download, I receive the message "Download failed. Please check your connection."

Although I can see the extension listed on the store (since it's mine), I'm unable to use it personally.

Could you please assist me with resolving this issue?

Thank you.

I wish to be able to remove the very first line in the search list

is it possible to only show what "firefox suggest" ?

I tried to change the settings but nothing happen

greetings, I had trouble with firefox crashing, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now I have lost all my passwords and bookmarks from the previous installation. I have tried to fix it, but I am completely computer illiterate. Please help. I am unable to do this with directions found in my search. I need someone to do it FOR me. Please help.

Upgraded to version 127.01 and can not use it to log into some important (to me) websites. I can use Microsoft Edge without problems. Tried disabling VPN, clearing cache, rebooting, etc. without resolution. Similar problem in the past that somehow resolved spontaneously after several days (not sure why).

Hello,

I've recently installed 127.0 (64-bit) and although I've set browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir to true, and rebooted my PC, I still don't get the 'Open With' pop-up - the file goes directly into Downloads.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy jellyfish).

Please advise me what I'm doing wrong.

When i am trying to open up an external protocol there is a small delay between when the popup opens and when i can open the link i would like to disable this delay but dont know how to. Thanks in advance

I have noticed a few websites will go to blank pages. Today, while trying to log into my Microsoft account, I was able to enter the login id and then the password, but when I went to enter the website I arrived at a blank page. I tried the control-shift-R fix, from this website, but it was of no value.

How can I change the defalt filename of inserted image from clipboard? I use firefox with local interface language but I don't want it to influence on filename of inserted images. I don't wanna give any clues in work chats, forums etc. which language I use in my browser.

at the top of the page, i get a window that says "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page. Then it has a box with the word STOP in it.

   what the heck is this and how do i make it go away?  I push the button that says stop, but it starts right up again

When using Firefox to access Hulu Hulu does not accept my password though it does let me reset my password. I CAN access Hulu using DuckDuckGo and IE. Have not been able to get through to Hulu.

Firefox, according to its own Task Manager, shows the browser, not extensions, or particular tabs, using 9GBs of RAM, and 95-120% CPU Usage! This is causing everything to work, as if underwater, typing is slow, hesitates, etc, and opening new tabs sometimes doesn't even happen, and I have to try multiple times, etc. There is no reason Firefox should be using over 100% of my iMac's CPU. Meanwhile, nearly every single open tab is showing less than 1% CPU usage...

I really do want to use this browser, but this kind of memory sucking usage is making really difficult to continue doing.

To whom it may concern, Hi, I haven't been able to access this website for a couple of weeks and have never had any problems opening it in the past. Have contacted the bus company and they do not have any issues at their end. This is the error message I still continue to receive and don't know how to correct:

Unable to connect An error occurred during a connection to www.premierillawarra.com.au. • The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. • If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. • If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi Mozilla - I just wanted to report some recent phenomena. In the past couple weeks Firefox, and related Private Browsing browser, seem to have developed consistent hangups in fetching data across a pretty wide range of sites. Both my banking sites will not load after logging in to them, just spins and spins. Also some very general searches will not load any results for minutes at a time, I just give up and kill them. I've uninstalled/cleaned/reinstalled latest version, etc, etc. By comparison, these same data fetches in banking sites, etc, work dandy in Duckduckgo browser, which is also a heavy no-trace browser. This ominous to me as I really like Firefox and do NOT want to have to resort to Edge. Duckduckgo browser is very good but doesn't have nearly the menu or favorites sort of features that Firefox does. Can you investigate? This is typical Win 10 system in Lenovo i7, been working like a champ till just recently, no system changes. Thanks.

I using an ASIS Latop model X756U running the Windows 10 Operating System. Firefox is my default browser.

I installed the Opt-Out Google Analytics Extension on 9 June 2024. The intent was identify which of my applications are using Google Analytics by testing them and seeing which ones were broken.

Having done that I removed the Opt-Out Google Analytics Extension from the Firefox Extension list.

Unfortunately the extension remains active and continues to disrupt my browsing experience.

How do I remove this extension permanently?
