Firefox Community Forum

For the past month or two, at random times when I open Firefox, I see a message stating, "Looks like you reinstalled Firefox." To be clear I have not uninstalled Firefox in any instance where this message has been displayed.

When this happens, I’m unable to browse the web. To resolve the issue, I have to remove the uBlock Origin extension and reinstall it. Once I’ve done that, browsing returns to normal. However, I then need to reconfigure my filters and adjust settings within FireFox

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that would prevent this issue, but it hasn’t worked.

This problem is specific to my PC—it has never occurred on my MacBook.

Any assistance in understanding why this happens and how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I need to access the official site for the water institute in the country of Panama and keep receiving the following message Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.idaan.gob.pa. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   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.

I could access it until about 1.5 years ago when I used it a lot. Now I cannot access it anymore but this is an official governmental site www.idaan.gob.pa so why cannot it accessed now? I cannot access if from any of my devices, including those with the most up to date windows and Apple versions.

What do I need to do? contacting the institution is out of question as the site works OK in that country, so it is a FireFox problem outside of the country. Please help. Thanks, Helena

A friendly hello to whomever is kind enough to read this! Your help is greatly appreciated!

The latest update caused an edit I made to my Profile's userChrome.css file to be nullified. Now there's huge bar where the tabs toolbar used to be, and apparently it's not the title bar, as when I activate the title bar in "Customize Toolbar," this huge gets replaced by the actual toolbar.

I've attached my css code below for inspection. It used to work perfectly, but after the last update (133.0) it's no longer working. What can I do to fix this and have it like I had it prior to the latest update (133.0)?

userChrome.css File: `#main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {

 opacity: 0;
 pointer-events: none;

}

1. main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {

   visibility: collapse !important;

}

1. main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar .titlebar-spacer {

       border-inline-end: none;

}

/* Adding empty space for buttons */

1. nav-bar {

margin-right:140px; }

/* 15px for dragging whole window by mouse*/

1. titlebar {

appearance: none !important; height: 15px; }

/* Fix for main menu calling by Alt button */

1. titlebar > #toolbar-menubar {

margin-top: 10px; }

/* Move minimize/restore/close buttons to empty space */

1. TabsToolbar > .titlebar-buttonbox-container {

display: block; position: absolute; top: 17px; right: 1px; }

1. sidebar-box {

 min-width: 250px !important;

}`

Whenever I use (control + shift + V) to paste to the format in my google sheet it inputs the value into the cell below my selected cell. Please see my attachment.

It may look like I selected both cells but I made several attempts & got the same result.

I have a need t view courthouse records in AZ. The Cort Website tells be to go to (In Win 10) Settings then Compatibility View settings. hat must be old information as pertaining to win 10, because my win 10 has nothing even hinting a similarity with that. So, since it's about web viewing the next place I looked on Firefox and again nothing like that. Any suggestions?

When i try to print parts of a long g-mail conversation, I mark the part, right cklick on the marking and press "print marking" (or whatever it's called in english). Only about 2/3 of the marking is showed in the printing pre view and printed. Works fine in Crome, but I prefere Firefox. I have tried to re-setting firefox, no improvment. What can I do to print what I want?

Best regards, Johan

I'm not sure what type of issue this is, so hopefully I’ve posted it in the right place!

Devices:

• Firefox version 133.0 on 2022 M2 MacBook Pro OS Sequoia 15.1.1
• Firefox version 133.0 on iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS 18.1.1 (*for reference, of checking issue, not where issue is occurring)

Issue Breakdown: While updating my bookmark's tags in Bookmark Manager, my tags all but disappeared and other strange things started happening.

• My tags aren't in the sidebar menu of the Bookmark Manager at all. See Screenshot 1.
• Already tagged bookmarks retained the tags, but I’m unable to edit, add, or remove bookmark tags at all. When the bookmark is selected, the bookmark’s tags, nor any other tags, appear in a list under the bookmarks tags. See Screenshot 2.
• I can locate all bookmarks with the same tag by searching bookmarks in the Bookmark Manager.
• I can move and rename pre-existing bookmarks.
• I can add new bookmarks (confirmed by the blue star beside the address bar on the main browser after exiting and re-entering), but I cannot find those bookmarks anywhere in Bookmark Manager.
• My mobile bookmarks folder isn’t shown in Bookmarks Manager, but I can view 11 bookmarks in my Mobile Bookmarks folder on my phone’s Firefox application.

I’ve tried the following:

• restarting Firefox by quitting the application
• refreshing Firefox through the browser [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-se...]
• restarting my computer
• clearing the startup cache
• clearing the cache [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache|link]
• restarted in Troubleshoot Mode [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubl...]
• uninstalling then reinstalling Firefox software

I have no idea what is wrong with it or what is going on. What else can I do?

Hello,

I'm trying to update to firefox version 133.0. My O.S. is Ubuntu 20.04. I've untarred the tarball to ~/firefox/firefox-133.0/.

If I startup the new firefox, I receive the following error message: "libxul.so, undefined symbol: gdk_window_show_menu".

I also tried firefox version 120.0, except the result was the same.

How can I fix this?

thanks.

Why are we limited to 12 stock photos to pick from? I understand when this feature just rolled out it was limited, but it's been a while now. When are we going to be able to upload our own images? Also, it'd really be nice incorporate themes like Chrome does where you could pick from something like nature backgrounds that rotate automatically on your new tabs page.

Firefox downloads .ai files too often as .pdf files, which, although I can open in Adobe Illustrator and/or change the file suffix to open in Adobve Illustrator instead of it automatically opening in Acrobat (unless I right click into Illustrator), is a hassle and concerns me of unintentional file corruption. I don't know why Firefox is downloading .ai files as .pdf files, but it is impractical and frustrating. None of the file download settings I adjusted fixed the issue.

Is this a known issue? The only thread/question I found on this type of issue where files get downloaded as the wrong filetype/suffix was an archived question on .ddd files being downloaded as .pdf files. Please let me know if this is something the devs are aware of and can work to fix it.

Team, I am a longtime user and supporter of FF. I can't tell you how much I love the the layout of Firefox on Windows in v. 133 with the vertical tabs. Just as important is the fantastic, new font rendering. Thank you so much. I used to make multiple adjustments to the font in about:config when I installed FF on Windows. Now, the fonts look fantastic out of the box. Great job, team!

I am setting up my new windows 11 based foxfire page. My old computer is windows 10 and my firefox page has a menu bar on the top with: file edit view history bookmarks tools help. I can figure out how to do this same thing on my page on this new computer

A while back I noticed that my google calendar no longer sends reminders to my gmail (or rather, I suspect, gmail does not receive them). Yesterday I missed an important meeting because of this, so I want to get to the bottom of it. I verified that the reminders are properly set in my calendar, so I have to assume that they are going out. The pop-up windows do pop, so I assume that it is not on the calendar side. I also noted that calendar.google.com and gmail.google.com have the proper permissions to send pop-ups and notifications to gmail, which indicates to me that this end of the equation is working. (Don't know how to isolate the error further, though.) It seems that the Firefox settings need to be changed somehow. Any ideas?

Thank you!

I tried to put in my password for my Gmail account. When I do EMAIL OR PHONE gets laid on top of the email address I use.

This is the SECOND TIME this has happened RECENTLY. And it was taken care of. BUT, NOW IT IS BACK. I NEED the sign in as I am getting ready for a trip.
