Firefox Support Forum

Hello. I cannot remove the suggestions that appear in the drop down address bar suggestions list. Shift-delete does not work. Changing the search settings in tools does not work. There is no three dots that appear next to the URL, or a pop up that shows up if I hover over the link. They are stubbornly embedded on that bar and refuse to leave.

The only thing that works is to delete all history, but I don't want to do that. There may be some solution where I micromanage site permissions on a site by site basis but that's way too much work, and should not have to do that.

The URLs on the list themselves are totally random. I cannot figure out how Firefox decided that THESE are the URLs to feature. I visited like once, in a long string of activity.

Anyway, my inability to perform a simple task like right-click-delete or demand that it "stop doing that" is making me claustrophobic.

Vers 115.0.2

Hello! When I set up my website restrictions on Mac Ventura (System Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > Content Restrictions > Access to Web Content > Customize), Safari blocks my sites but Firefox does not.

From what I see (eg, this article ), Firefox should block the same sites. Am I wrong?

I appreciate your help!

Why does my tool bar disappear after typing in website in search bar? Book marks appear when I open a new window, however as soon as I type something in the search bar or click on a website the book marks disappear. I have to open a new window for them to reappear again. I didn't change any settings, it happened on it's own. I've added a screen shot for when I open a new window (book marks appear) and a screen shot for when I've typed something in the search bar (book marks disappear). Thank you!

Hi,

On what port does the firefox extension update on does it use port 21? I need the extensions to be auto updating like set and forget knowing that my firewall is not blocking the required port

Thanks

My chrome extension is working fine and i want to make it compatible with Firefox as well. In the extension i have used eval method that is throwing error "EvalError: call to eval() blocked by CSP".

I also tried to add below configuration in the manifest 3 file but still getting the CSP issue. ('wasm-unsafe-eval' is also not working.)

 "content_security_policy": {
   "extension_pages": "script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval'"
 }

Everytime I try to open Mozilla it automatically tries to download "openh264-win64-31c4d2e4a037526fd30d4e5c39f60885986cf865.zip" file, how to stop this ? TIA!!

The user certificate works fine, but it's FRICKING INFURIATING that Firefox just keeps on asking for the certificate. The first time I go to a site that requires logging in using a user certificate, it pops up the same dialog 4 times in a row. Then if I switch to another tab and spend a couple of minutes there, restart Firefox or reload the tab that I logged in, it now asks for the certificate all over again!

How can I just god damn make Firefox remember what certificate I want it to use without it always asking for it? No, "Remember this decision" does not do that.

Firefox autofill saves my phone number with a +1.

In other words instead of saving my phone number as 555-555-5555 it saves it as +1555-555-555. Of course this is rejected by 99.999% of the forms on the web making this part of the autofill useless. So I go to edit it by removing the +1 and save. It appears to save fine but when I look at it the +1 is back again.

Why the stupidity and and why not let me edit it to whatever I want?

The file-picker (when I choose any file related operation such as Open File, Save As, etc) on just one of my machines is far larger than my desktop size (and the window appears not to be resizable).

When I trigger any such operation I'm presented with what looks like a blank screen as I a shown part of the vast unused area of this oversized window. If I force my wm to allow me to move the window I can use the file picker with a lot of painful repeated scrolling around but otherwise it's unusable.

Any idea why firefox might be doing this or where it might have cached the file picker size? There doesn't appear to be anything related in about:config or userprefs.js

Starting up in trubleshooting mode doesn't have any effect on this.

After a Windows system update, my usual first step has been to open Firefox and restore previous session. I am an old person and have had some memory difficulties in recent years so some of the pages I'd kept open on the taskbar icon had been there for as much as two or more years, but they always came back. After the most recent Windows update, the first thing that happened was that a message from McAfee (to which I subscribe) popped up. It was a very good 'Come-on," so I clicked it. It took me through doing some scans, then pitched a product that I didn't want to purchase so I closed that window. That resulted in a new, Firefox window opening, pitching the same product again. I now don't remember if I closed that pitch window and opened a new Firefox one before trying to restore previous session or if I tried the restore directly from that window but whichever I did, the only window that got restored was that latest McAfee pitch! Is there any way to get back the old stored Firefox pages from before the system update and my opening that McAfee window? Thank you very much.

Having issues with Firefox chugging too much memory, I have 32GB of RAM and in Taskmanager, memory usage can get up to 60% having Firefox open, this is also becoming an issue while trying to use other software or playing games as I get errors that there isn't enough memory when Firefox is running.

When opening some PDF's using 115, some or all of the text appears to be random characters. I downgraded to 114 and opened the same PDF, and the issue occurred in the same way. Can't upload the PDF itself using this form, but I've Attached a screenshot of a PDF and you'll see that some text is normal while other text is not.

Helpful details: - Issue does not occur when opening files in Chrome and Adobe. - On 115, disabling "allow pages to choose their own font" setting does fix the issue. However, this is not a permanent workaround for me, as I need other websites to display text normally (without Firefox overriding). - Downgrading to 114 also fixed the issue. This leads me to suspect that v115 has a bug, or some other issue that is causing this text problem to occur with PDFs. - The PDFs are created in Salesforce.com, but since the issue only occurs on v115, it's unlikely that Salesforce is the cause of any issues.

In my job, I open a lot of PDFs, and having them open in separate tabs on Firefox is a huge part of my workflow. Salesforce works so terribly with Chrome so I am crossing fingers that we can get Firefox working again. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This has happened to me too many times and haven't found a solution to it. When I open Firefox after I have booted up my PC, my browser would either function as normal and everything is kept the same, or would act as if I am new to Firefox and reset my settings and add-ons. I tried re-installing the browser and creating new browser profile, yet those solutions that I've found hasn't worked. Any solutions would be helpful, thanks

(In the image provided, this is what happens at times when opening the browser after turning on my PC)

This morning when I exited firefox and then tried to bring it up again (windows10) I got an error message

Error Platform version 118.0.1 is not compatible with

       MinVersion >= 118.0
       MaxVersion >= 118.0

I have a lot of of Important Book Marks and don't have the bookmarks backed up any where.

I don't remember updating Firefox this morning but could have.

How do I fix and at the same time retain my bookmarks an other information from 118.0 I have a different version an older version Firefox installed on my computer (115.0.2) which I only use for google voice - I am using this installation to ask this question.

Thanks,

I use Dragon talk to text because I am unable to type. I need to install the Web extension and for some reason I have not been able to do it for several weeks now. it tells me it is blocked but I need it. Please help. Thank you.

Arggh! I had this box all filled out, but it vanished when I pasted the troubleshooting info. I see the troubleshooting info is gone, also. buggy So... I have a bookmarks folder, named "mobile bookmarks". It lists beneath "all bookmarks", alongside "other bookmarks", "bookmarks menu", and "bookmarks toolbar". I want to delete this "mobile bookmarks" folder, but the delete folder option is grayed out.
