Firefox Support Forum

Today Firefox stopped altogether and dimmed the entire window and popped up a "Try the Firefox VPN" message. I use Firefox specifically to get away from disruptive, intrusive violations like that. This needs to be removed immediately and never ever happen again. It's completely antithetical to the core values of Firefox.

Furthermore, several users have reported it breaking their browsing. See this Reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/13rnt88/why_is_firefox_windows_11_version_showing_me/

This affected me on Windows 10 running Firefox 113.0.2 64 bit.

When I scroll down to look at recent posts on Facebook groups I follow all but the top one has suddenly lost its date/time – I just get a blank where the details would usually be and have to hover over to reveal the details. The silly thing is that this only happens when I sign in and it doesn’t happen when I use chrome – although I prefer using Firefox, not least because the bookmarks sidebar is better. I have tried getting rid of all extensions and running in troubleshoot mode but without success. Any help/advice would be appreciated (as long as it is not about football!)

Received this message thismorning while using my Ledger device:-

Something went wrong-U2F browser support is needed for Ledger. Please use Chrome, Opera or Firefox with a U2F extension. Also make sure you're on a HTTPS connection.

Hi,

For years I have read directions to get my tabs back where is most logical for me, below the Bookmarks Toolbar. Now with this latest version of Firefox the workarounds I had before are not working.

To cut a long story short: I have made a Chrome folder under the Profile folder I have made CSS sheet with what looks like the commands I need. I have configured Firefox to read the userChrome.css sheet.

I have followed all the directions on this thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1375646 (most of which are repeated elsewhere) and it still doesn't work.

I am beyond frustrated - if anyone happens to know where I can go to request this as blinkin' option I would love to know.

Please could someone help me sort this out in the meantime though?

This is what is in the CSS sheet (which is in the correct place according to the above instructions - checked that already):

Thank you in advance.

1) Firefox advertised free apps when you signed up for vpn. However, when I signed up for vpn, I didn't get any apps. Did I do something wrong? Why didn't I get the free apps? 2) I don't seem to be able to add the VPN two other computers. It seems to want to sell me (Again) the VPN. I don't want to buy it again, just add my existing VPN to other computers. 3) I have some Macs that run Parallel's. Do I need to add Firefox VPN do the Windows that is running on Mac. Or, does my Mac Firefox VPN somehow protect the windows without adding a separate VPN on windows?

My IDM extension no longer seems to be the default downloader. Downloads now come via the native Windows (8.1) downloader. Can you suggest any way of resolving this issue?

How exactly do I turn off ad blockers in Firefox? I clicked on "Firefox Focus For iOS because there is not an option for help when I am on a desktop, using Windows 8.1.

After running `snap refresh firefox`, many sites I use no longer render any text.

Via some fiddling via the developer console, it appears to be that any text with `font-family: Helvetica`. Removing that CSS restores the text, adding it removes the text.

There's a fix for CVE-2023-29537 in this release that affects font initialization - possibly related?

I have a problem when I open the Amazon seller center URL, prompting PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR, but I can't open it according to the official solution given by Firefox, please help to deal with this problem According to the official guidelines given by Firefox, I did the following: 1、Open the software, click the "Menu" icon in the upper right corner, and select "Options" in the list of options below to enter.

2, after entering the new interface, click on the "Settings" button.

3, and then in the pop-up window, check whether the proxy server is set, if set, then "Do not use proxy server" check the box.

4, if the above method can not solve the problem, you can try to close the Firefox DNS pre-resolution, enter the software, enter "about:config" in the address bar above and enter to open, click the page "accept the risk and continue "button.

5, then enter "network.dns.disablePrefetch" in the search box, and click the "toggle" button on the right side of the results given below, and change the value from " false" to "true", and finally restart the browser.

The problem still exists, please help to deal with this problem, thank you!

I can not access for days my bank account at truist.com. It shows it is loading but never does. I CAN access from any other browser want to use! Truist says it is a Firefox browser issue.

Hi

I have a problem when I play a video I get pixels I've seen that other users have the same problem I tried some of the solutions like disabled hardware acceleration and change some stuff on about:config (media.windows-media-foundation.use-nv12-format. double-click it and change its value to false) and use safe mode but nothing seems to work

What can I do?

I'm having a problem sharing websites with others via, for instance, Signal. Telegram, WhatsApp or a social medium. There used to be a share button in the toolbar, but this I cannot find anymore. At some time there were also the three dots in the address bar that dropped down a menu for the page, which included a 'share' option. These dots seem to have vanished. Also I vaguely remember that the "share" function was also in he tab context menu once upon a time. However dropping down that menu does not reveal any "share" function presently. Then there was, if I remember correctly, the possibility to click the File menu at the top of the screen and then click on the Share menu item over there. But also there the "share" function seems to have vanished. I also looked in the settings menu, to find if there is a setting there which switches on or off the sharing function. I could not find such a setting. In short, it seems that I am horribly overlooking the "share" function. Please help me find it. Thanks. (Firefox 112 for Manjaro Linux)
