Firefox Support Forum

Given that v. 47.0.1 is the last one to be supported on 10.6.8, the answer given here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-osx#firefox:mac:fx45

doesn't make it clear whether if it is preferable, IN TERMS OF BEST POSSIBLE FUNCTIONALITY (not necessarily security), to use v. 48 and later ones, or v. 45.x.x.ESR until it runs out in 2017.

This in particular: "Note: Some Firefox features might not be available on ESR." has caught my attention. Is there a way to know which are those features that are not available?

Thanks,

Hello,

At first I have registered the page "about:permissions" for the gestion of permissions to the websites (like you know) but now it has disapeared. Were can I go to find this page again ?

Thank you

Starting about a week ago, several sites/pages that I've previously visited successfully will no longer load. Most notably, I can no longer get Amazon's "My Cart" page to load. Instead, I get the following message:

    Secure Connection Failed

    An error occurred during a connection to smile.amazon.com. Peer using unsupported version of security protocol. Error code: 
    SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Well, I'm not likely to get much attention from Amazon, and the smaller sites are as confused about this as I am.

I've already tried the "no proxy" setting in FF (no joy) and renaming cert8.db and deleting cert_override.txt (also no joy).

My next test is to disable all of the extensions that I've installed in the past month (but I have to restart, so this post comes first--I'll report back in a reply).

Following a recent update, Firefox will no longer access Google (or any web page via Google.) I get the following error message:

Your connection is not secure

The owner of www.google.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

Learn more…

www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

My computer has a Windows 7 OS installed, and I have not previously had any problems like this. I tried to add an exception and the result I got is shown in the screenshot below.

When I click + to make a new tab, I see the "New Tab" page, which shows the frequently used site tiles. How do I make my homepage be that, so when I start firefox I see that right away.

I get this message when I tray to open facebook.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

I normally have FF save my previous session and I had quite a number of useful tabs open. For some unknown reason, FF crashed and when I was able to load it again, all my open tabs were gone and I'd like to recover them. I read in a post (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1057949) that "Open and closed tabs are stored as part of the session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder."

Fortunately, I backup my entire HDD weekly and had a backup only two days old, so I mounted that backup as a separate drive letter and went to my FF profile in that backup, but there was no sessionstore.js file to be found. What I want to do is to go into my FF profile on the mounted backup and find the file containing my tabs as of my last backup two days ago, then copy that file into my FF profile on my C: drive. That way, my hope is to be able to reboot FF with all my tabs as they were at that time, as that will give me over 90 percent of the tabs I've lost.

For reference, I'm running FF45 under W7 Pro 64-bit SP1.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I can't attach any files in my outlook web app using Firefox. However, using Microsoft's Edge, there's no problem. I prefer Firefox but this is really hindering my work. I restarted Firefox, removed all plug ins, but no success with that.

After updating to Firefox 46.0 in RHEL 6.6, when I launch I get the following error: XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/firefox/libmozgtk.so: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM. I tried to install any package gtk3 or similar, but only find gtk2 and gtk+ are available in Red Hat, and I have already installed. I downgraded to 45.0.2 that works fine. Thanks.

Hello there

I do have a problem with some of the the fonts' rendering without antialiasing, as I think, and that makes them pretty ugly. The problem appears to be only with Firefox; the same fonts on Chrome, Internet Explorer, Brave browser or even Pale Moon does not exist. When it comes to Pale Moon, it required some setting to be changed in about:config but eventually, everything rendered neatly.

As far as Firefox in concerned, I have tried to use numerous different solutions but none seemed to work. I'll try to list the tutorials that I have tried. My system is Windows 7 x64 Home Premium, Firefox is the latest version from the stable releases, 45.0.1 right now, I think. Laptop is Acer Aspire 5749Z with Intel Pentium B960 and Intel GMA 2000 graphics. I do have the latest drivers for the graphics card installed. Windows' ClearType is on. Hardware Acceleration is currently on, tried turning if off, nothing helped.

Here is an exaple of a badly rendered font: https://i.imgur.com/70uGPQm.png ("Grids") and here is the link to the page: http://purecss.io/grids/

I have tried the following: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/3gtnnq/font_rendering_issues_ff40/ http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-hardware-acceleration-gpu-rendering-in-mozilla-firefox-4-0-to-fix-font-problem/ https://support.mozilla.org/pl/questions/1111253 — I have the Windows Updates mentioned here installed. Rest of the tutorials concerned pretty much the same things, i.e. turning the Direct2D on or off.

My thanks and regards Greg

I got a new pc and exported my firefox (ver 42 i believe) bookmarks and passwords. I am setting up my new pc and have installed firefox v45.0.2 I imported my bookmarks just fine, but there is not option to import passwords into firefox than Internet Explorer or Msoft Edge ?

Any chance of importing the passwords or do I have to visit 247 websites and start over ??

my mac system running 10.6.8 doesn't meet the requirements to run the latest version of Firefox. I have two vulnerable plug-ins QuickTime 7.6.6 and Java 60.65. Is there any thing that Mozilla is doing to help keep people operating Mac OS 10.6.8 and earlier from vulnerabilities?

What is the actual URL for the Firefox/Mozilla Search page? I have noticed that a number of people have posed this question online and until now, nobody has as of yet received a straight answer. I use multiple browsers and want to list the Firefox/Mozilla Search as one of three Home pages that will automatically each start on their own tab in Chrome. I use Firefox as my default browser, and there I have the Firefox search, the Google search, and my Facebook all open together when I launch Firefox. I want the same to happen when I launch the Chrome browser, but I can't get to the Firefox/Mozilla Search in another browser without the URL, or the IP address associated with that URL, providing that the IP won't change. Please, now, no more run-around, no more questions, no ifs ands or buts - what is the URL for the Firefox/Mozilla search page? Thanks in advance.

I successfully transferred my Firefox account to my new computer; however, the Saved Logins did not transfer. All the other information for my account went into the Profiles folder on the new computer. Is there a way to transfer the Saved Logins data? I am writing this from my old computer. Thanks for any help!
