Firefox Support Forum

When I put something in the search box it comes back with a Google Search 'hit' page and it always has enormous text, an enormous font. I can't get rid of it. It started after one day I couldn't read a tiny text on a page so i googled for help and got some keystrokes for increasing font size. i forget what they were but they worked fine. But now I can't get rid of it. On all other pages, yes, no problem. I found keypresses that are supposed to get rid of large font: ctrl-z, ctrl-y, different ones different places say, I"ve tried them all, but can't get rid of the big font on the first page of a google hit. I am using firefox of course. On a linux mint machine.

I have the plasma browser integration extension and the corresponding package for my distro. But it doesn't work and I get the "failed to connect to native host" message. Am I doing something wrong? I use: KDE neon 5.27 KDE plasma version: 5.27.3 Firefox edition 111.0, Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu Thanks in advance!

Hello,

For some reason I got a new laptop and install the latest firefox version, however, very often happens that my pointer doesn't change according to the options I am selecting (unless I click on them). To fix it, I have to restart the browser every time. It's annoying because for example, if I select some text to copy it, it will not be highlighted until I finish (unclick), just until then it will highlight the text, but not during the process. Also, the wheel of my mouse won't scroll the page up and down when clicking at it (but I still can scroll without clicking it). All these issues get fixed once I restart the whole browser.

Any ideas? do you think by downgrading firefox this could be fixed?

Best regards, Cristhian Garcia.

Chromium works fine.

Hi, Have been having issues with the google cdm widewine drm plugin for a wee while now but eventually found the solution to my specific case. The problem was firefox never managed to install the plugin, it just kept saying it was installing it but never did.

It tuns out that my opnsense router uses an IDS / IPS watchdog plugin called ZenArmor. Tuns out it was blocking the download url for the plugin from the following address

https://r3---sn-c5ioiv45c-5goe.gvt1.com

If I added the gvt1.com domain to it s exceptions list, firefox immediately downloaded and installed the plugin flawlessly.

Sharing is caring. Ta-ta!

When starting to type an email address in a login box on, e.g., amazon, Firefox produces a drop-down list of suggested completions using common email domains such as gmail.com and yahoo.com. I never use any of these and want to either suppress the suggestions entirely or customise the list to display domains which I actually use.

We have control-L to jump to the address area, but how can I jump back to the content area, where the actual web page is?

I know I can hit TAB x amount of times, but I need a direct keyboard shortcut.

Hello. I just set up a self hosted firefox-syncserver on my homeserver.

I created a virtual host on nginx which looks something like this: firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com and have a mariadb database as the backend. In about:config on firefox, I then set the identity.sync.tokenserver.uri to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5.

Everything seems to work fine, but I still have some questions which I did not find an answer to online.

   Since I have this public accesspoint for my syncserver now, can not anyone just use it? What stops them from using my url (https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5) in their about:config?

   What is the SYNC_MASTER_SECRET for which I set to a 256-bit random key?

   When I navigate to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5 in my browser, why does it say {"status":"error","errors":[{"location":"body","name":"","description":"Unauthorized"}]}

I would really appreciate a good answer, as I could not find anything good about these points online.

I am using a Linux based system for my Laptop but still need to access and edit some files from a OneDrive Cloud. Whenever I try to clean up my files I open them to see if they can be deleted which will open a session in a separate tab. The problem is when I close that tab Firefox seems to keep that session active which will render me unable to delete a file because OneDrive sees, that it is still opened. (See attached Screenshot) Is this a problem with Firefox not closing sessions properly when closing tabs?

I install the latest version of firefox 110.0.1 (64-bit) as snap on 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) running on WSL-2

WSL version: 1.1.3.0 Kernel version: 5.15.90.1 WSLg version: 1.0.49 MSRDC version: 1.2.3770 Direct3D version: 1.608.2-61064218 DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp Windows version: 10.0.22624.1391

While Firefox is running OK I'm seeing a number of error messages. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix/debug
