Firefox Support Forum

Firefox Version 63.0 (64-bit) Home build PC, 480GB SSD, 2 x 2TB HD's, 8GB Ram.

I have had problems with streaming Channel 4 TV UK for many years. I could only get it to work on Windows. Recently I have Dumped Window 10 - so slow - updates take all day. I now am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (using Linux since 2009)

Channel 4 say they Do Not support Linux ?

I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player, but does not seam to work or download. On Ch 4 web page I pressed Allow, but say that I should install Flash Player !

Please could anyone advice me what I can do, or what I have done wrong.

Regards, Richard.

Foxit Reader is my favourite PDF program. To be able to save and print from the preview window in Firefox (on the left hand upper side) I use the ESR channel. Till version 59.9 at the bottom of the preview window a toolbar appeared with which I could save or print the document. Since the upgrade to version 60.2, this toolbar does not appear (which was the fact when I used the standard version of Firefox). I want to downgrade to ESR 59.9 (though Mozilla does not recommend this) in order to have back the toolbar, but if I choose for this version (in the download history under 'options') the latest version remains. Secondly: Is there a way to retrieve the mentioned toolbar in ESR version 60.2?

How do I get around the error message, "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" when I know the website is safe? I need to access it for school. The advanced option is not allowing me to proceed. Please help!

So yeah, I don't know why but since yesterday it has been acting strange. I haven't tinkered with anything if my memory serves right. Whenever I try to open a website or the Preferences page or anything -- it is blank! I can't open new tabs too. I tried various solutions like no Hardware Acceleration, refreshing and even re-installation. However, what is weird is, I can use Firefox alright with Window's Safe Mode (not Firefox's, Window's).

I tried clearing AppData and some other stuff and am getting no response. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

I'm running a MAMP PRO installation on my OS X 11.6 which works perfectly (Apache & MYSQL). All of a sudden Firefox asks for download when browising to a .php file on my localhost. Could anybody give me a hint on why this happesn?

Thanks, Tom

I don't understand why animate.css doesn't work in my firefox. Where can be problem? In firefox on another pc animate.css is working. animate.css - https://daneden.github.io/animate.css/

Shift+Delete no longer works to remove these erroneous results. I've never heard of, used, visited, or wanted to visit "http://nycsubway.org/" or anything related to it, but now firefox's "awesome" bar sends me there instead of Netflix, which I use daily. I've turned off all the random suggestions for the address bar but these random, wrong, ads keep popping up. If I've never used it, and I'm not searching for it, putting it there must mean "http://nycsubway.org/" has paid you to be an annoyance in or lives. Or why else would you do this?!

I am using Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit (fully updated) and Firefox 68.0 64-bit.

The problem is that when I download any .zip archive and tell Firefox to "Open with... 7-Zip File Manager" (or with Windows Explorer), after the archive has finished downloading and opened in a 7-Zip window (or an Explorer window), I cannot drag-and-drop the file contained in the archive onto a Windows Explorer window or the desktop. No matter where I try to drag the file to, the Windows mouse cursor is always a "cancel" icon and won't let me drop it anywhere.

If I then close the archive window and reopen it from the download folder (C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Temp), now I can drag-and-drop correctly.

I know that this is a problem with Firefox, because if I try the same operation with the same .zip archive using the current version of Tor Browser (8.5.4 32-bit (based on Mozilla Firefox 60.8.0esr)) or with Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.19399) I do not have this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

A transparent blue overlay appears on all Firefox Toolbars, Tabs. Menus, Settings Pages, etc - but not on actual web pages which display fine.

This happened immediately after the Update to v62.

The effect looks a bit like when you select a page in windows and it's highlighted in blue. The text on the active tab is also blurred but is sharp on the other tabs.

I've tried restarting browser and computer, changed the theme (back to default) and disabled anti-virus (AVG) but it hasn't solved the problem.

I have screenshots but I can't get them to upload.

Thanks, G

I just updated to Firefox 62 and my back and forward buttons have moved to the right side of the navigation bar and my reload button is gone entirely.Also I opened my task manager and Firefox is using a lot of my CPU.My CPU usage is usually around 10% , or something like that...pretty low.Now it's using around 70%...Firefox itself using over 60% when usually it's around 1%-3%.Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

FF updated to version 67. On a couple of Windows 10 machines so far, FF won't start. Double-clicking the icon does not work. Task Manager will show two instances of FF and the EXE closes out after a minute, and the program does not start. Rebooting does not help. The Win10 versions experiencing issues after updating to version 67 are a Win10 1703 and a Win10 1803 machine.

Today a new tab keeps opening about every minute, headed Pending Reward, and saying 'we want to thank you for your loyalty to Firefox! It's obviously some sort of scam. A virus scan has found nothing. How do I get rid of it?

I have several months with this problem, sometimes when I open a new tab from a link is stay with icon of loading but nothing happen. If I open several times finally it loads, but is very frustrating.

I have last version of Firefox, I tried a clean install still happen.

Please let me know how to fix it.

In order to be able to file a document electronically, I need Firefox 9.0. They don't have the latest version. How can I get this so I can fulfill my legal obligation? (I have Firefox 62.0.)

My bookmarks menu has folders and individual websites. I want to alphabetize the folders separately from the individual sites. When I followed "sort" it sorted the individual sites with the folders. It also did not save to my sidebar. Thank you

I'm having this issue in Firefox where it's rendering all of the Google fonts on two websites I've created as BOLD instead of THIN or REGULAR or whatever else they're set to in the CSS. I've found many instances online of users reporting this and similar issues over the past few years and have tried a number of solutions. Adding the following code as "extra CSS" to the Wordpress theme is the only thing that fixes it:

html { -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-smoothing: antialiased; }

Yet adding this code has caused other rendering issues on the site. Both sites I'm having this issue on look fine in Chrome and Safari btw. I've troubleshooted by clearing my caches, disabling the few plugins I have installed and switched to different WP themes by different developers but the problem persists. I tried changing FF settings too... disabling plugins and add-ons, switched themes and turned off hardware acceleration to no avail. It should be noted I don't notice this on random sites I visit, just these that I've created using Wordpress. Checking another site I created by hand coding the Google fonts render fine.

Attached are two examples of the issue. First is the correct rendering, second is the incorrect BOLD rendering of the same text. Any thoughts anyone?

Firefox Quantum 63.0.1 (64-bit) greys out credit union website (https://www.ucu.org/), it is impossible to click any links or to fill in the login box. This problem began after latest update to 0.1. Restarting Firefox with all add-ons disabled makes no difference. I can still access the website with Internet Explorer. I have tried all the solutions I could find on the support pages, but nothing seems to work. Firefox has no problems with any other websites.

I've researched the net and every "solution" that has been offered fails to work.

I'd like the awesome bar (address bar) not to remember or suggest anything and if by chance it does remember something I want CCleaner to be able to delete the entries.

This is a deal breaker. If I can't protect my privacy using Firefox I'll find another browser. I am a longtime Firefox user and want to stay with Firefox.
