Currently the taskbar icon only offers a few tasks in the context menu, such as open new tab, new window or private new window.

I understand that accessing about:config would allow me some other options, such as recently visited pages. And also allows me to remove those tasks.

I want to add the option to select which profile I open from that menu, instead of opening the default one, then selecting the correct profile in about:profiles that, in turn opens yet another window.

I tried adding a value "browser.taskbar.lists.profiles.enable" and several variations of that command. None worked.

Is there a way to add that option, so when I right-click the icon in the taskbar I can directly select the profile I want to launch?

Hello, I had proxy settings through my university to access science journals and have since graduated and lost that access. My issue is that Firefox continues to proxy several websites to bring me to my school login, which I no longer can use. I went to the settings feature and changed the proxy from manual to "no proxy" however it still takes me to my university login. Is there something else I have to do to stop this redirect from occurring?

Firefox was corrupted during a windows update. I can't access anything, passwords, bookmarks ,nothing. I didn't create new Firefox account because it said I would lose all of that info. How do I get it back, this is a nightmare.

I already occasionally run into sites that don't behave well with Firefox, forcing me to use another browser in some cases.

Will enabling these settings tend to contribute to exacerbating the problems?

Hi I'm experiencing a rather strange error here every time i try to log into my Firefox account on my desktop.

Every time I log in (and authorise the login through an email code) my browser immediately says "account disconnected in the top right and asks me to log in again but then when I log in again I'm back to square one and I feel like I'm going in circles...

Please help!

Thanks, Oona

Regular UK Based Firefox user since long time. I changed my broadband provider from BT to Sky. Since then unable to connect to Internet using firefox. I was facing the issue with Firefox 128.0.3 and today I downloaded firefox 129.0 and the issue continues. When I put any URL I get a "Server not found" message. It is even there for firefox.com site

HI, I suddenly can't get access to my long time Printify account with the Firefox browser on my Mac. One day, yes, next day, no. I have used Firefox for years and it is my go to browser. After entering my "correct" login info, I check the Verify You Are Human box and get an immediate Failure! notice. I can sign in via Firefox on my iPhone and on my Mac with the Safari browser so it seems it has something to do with Firefox Mac browser itself. I tried to go for the forgot password scenario but it also requires the checked Human box and I get the same Failure! message. Very much need access, please help. Thanks, Don Griffin

I am having a problem with Release 131.0, apparently with cookies. When I try to access my bank account to pay bills at https://www.citizensbankonline.com/, I get the following error message.

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

This occurs on both my two laptops and my desktops which all run W10. For one of the laptops, it allowed access with the older version of FF until I let it update to R131.0, and now it gives the same error message. I have cleared all cookie checkboxes under "Custom", twice deleted all cookies, site data, and cache, restarted FF several times - each time deleting all cookies for citizens bank, and also tried running "Troubleshooting Mode." If I use MS Edge with default settings (I don't usually use this browser), then all works fine. Is there something else I can try, or is this a known issue with R131.0?

Thank you, Tony D.

I started this thread because I believe it may be related to these problems/failures I'm having with exporting /importing Bookmarks, uploading images (on this site and elsewhere), which has also on occasion led to crashing my pc. Images from my previous thread auto-uploaded to this thread. I felt it might be better to separate the conversations until we get motre info.

Thru trial and error, it seems all these symptoms I will describe seem to be linked to my sessionstore.jsonlz4 file.

About six months ago I was having major problems with Firefox, navigation issues, broken toolbar buttons, blank toolbar button spots. I first tried to revert to a good working backup profile, which was fine until I did the file transfers from the problem profile to the backup, after which all the symptoms resurfaced in the backup profile. . I do what I always do by transferring certain files, but only those that make the transition without creating problems/conflicts; sessionstore.jsonlz4; places, cookies, etc.

I eventually chose to build a fresh profile, but the same problems occurred after the file transfer. Thru trial and error, I discovered that sessionstore.jsonlz4 was the root of the problems. I eventually went back and used the sessionstore.jsonlz4 from the backup file, but it was a real ordeal getting my session back up to date.

A couple weeks ago I started having problem here uploading images. I would select the file, but nothing would happen, and I was getting all these strange side effects.

But a few days later, Once again, I swapped out the profiles, these sorts of things started happening when I tired to export/import bookmarks

link text

If I move the cursor over the top of the screen, a bit more appears

link text

I'm writing in the backup profile now, because trying to upload from here or from Postimage, generates only these,

link text

or various distortions, i.e., but no ability to go any further in the process

link text

I didn't have any problem transferring the history, cookies, or bookmarks to this backup profile, but how do I go about fixing this without sacrificing the session. Is there a way to import only the session tabs without bringing in the corrupting elements?

BTW, still no "Preview Post" link on this page unless I submit this message first.

Hello,

I am writing about a unwanted window behavior that I encounter on KDE using Debian 12. When Firefox is half- or quarter-tiled to the screen, the tiling is undone each you click on the upper edge of the window.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Tile the Firefox window to one half of the screen 2. Hover the mouse over the upper edge of the window. The resize vertically icon appears. 3. Click to resize the window

Encountered behavior: The window goes back to the size and position it was before tiling the window.

Expected behavior: The window remains in place.

One additional behavior I discovered while writing this message is that: If you maintain the click and hover the mouse down, the window (which jumped to its previous size and position) returns to the tiled position and follows the resize movement (as intended).

I usually intend to switch to another tab when I trigger this behavior. I hover my mouse all the way up on my screen on (well, actually above), the tab I want to navigate to and click. While I agree that it takes is not to hover the mouse all the way up, it is very irritating that window jumps to another position so easily.

Other applications on KDE do not show this behavior. Therefore I assume this behavior is specific to Firefox. Furthermore when the window is maximized, this behavior doesn't occur (because these is no resize action available in that case).

About my System: Debian 12 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.51.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.0-25-amd64 Firefox: 130.0.1 (Installed using Flatpak)

Is this a behavior known to you?

Kind regards,

Nathan van Schoote

Ever since Facebook started infesting the chats with end-to-end encryption (random chats get "Messenger upgraded the security of this chat. Messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption" without my permission or asking if I want this), any encrypted chats have audio and video calls disabled. I note that I have ONE friend for whom it didn't do this, I can still do calls with her. If I receive a call, I get a pop-up saying that to receive this call I must download the Messenger app (no way) or a browser which supports it. If I check what browsers it thinks supports this, it only lists Chrome and Edge. As far as I know Edge is just Internet Explorer renamed, the biggest black hole in security, I've never touched it. Chrome ignores industry standards, so I don't use it. Making Firefox the best, top browser available. It's the only browser I wish to use. Mozilla needs to look into how to get Facebook to stop blacklisting Firefox like this. Note that this E2EE garbage has only been infecting things for the last few months, before that I was perfectly able to do any calls I wished in Facebook Messenger.

I'm running Firefox 130.0.1 (64-bit) and noticed when I read a foreign-language wikipedia article, I do not get the translation icon in the right end of the menu bar. All I see is the "Toggle reader view" icon and the "Bookmark this page icon." I can't figure out where it went. I saw another thread that asked people to check their General settings and "choose your preferred language for displaying pages" option, but it's already set to English (US).

Hi folks

Until about two or three days ago the www.bt.com website opened as usual, with first of all its cookie panel taking over the screen asking whether to accept cookies or manage cookies, and after handling that the site was perfectly usable.

As of two or three days now the cookie panel does not come up NOT AT ALL [but see also the last part of this message], and the screen is lightly-greyed-out. The screen scrolls but nothing at all is clickable.

However, in Chrome and Edge the site opens and works as expected.

The site also opens on the iPhone using both Safari and Firefox and works as expected.

It is just FF on my W10x64 Desktop where I have the unclickable lightly-greyed-out screen problem.

Perhaps something has chaged in FF, so I went into Settings-Privacy & Security- and then did the following:-

• Went to Site Data then "Manage Exceptions then I specifically typed in and Allowed the www.bt.com website

• Then went to Permissions and Block pop-up windows and in Exceptions I typed in and Allowed the www.bt.com website

• Then cleared FF cache

• Then reloaded FF

After all of this - no change; the www.bt.com screen is still in a lightly-greyed-out and unclickble, but still scrolls, however, after taking the above bulleted steps, the cookie panel now momentairily only flickers onto the screen and then disappears, and, sadly, the screen remains lightly-greyed-out and unusable.

Am I missing some sort of blocker for this website?

All other websites work on the Desktop PCs FF as expected. It is just this www.bt.com website that is the issue.

I have spent 30 mins with a BT Support Agent on the phone and we both agree that as Chrome, Edge and Safari are all fine it must be an issue with the Desktop version of FF.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Currently, I have under "Homepage and New Windows" a custom URL (actually 3 tabs) that open when I start Firefox. (It's a thing of beauty). When I launch Firefox, all three (3) tabs start. That's perfect.

However, if I were to start a new window after, it will start AGAIN all three tabs.

Is there a way to start a BLANK window after Firefox initial starts?

Thank you for any help and thoughts you might have.

When I type in Word 365 (Mozilla Firefox, 129.0.2 (64-bit)- snap for Ubuntu 24.04), using East European characters (e.g. š, č, ž), the text after the first such written character (see the first uploaded image) disappears after going to new line (pressing Enter or moving mouse to another line) (see the second uploaded image). It worked before on the Ubuntu 22.04 with manually installed firefox (not from snap) and is also working in Chrome.

I am unable to find the solution. I already installed additional fonts, I also created links to the installed fonts in $USER/snap/current/.local/share but nothing helps.

Has anyone encountered similar problem (and found a solution)?
