Firefox Community Forum

So I have had a favorite URL in Firefox for a decade or more https://www.outlook.com/owa to access outlook.com via web browser. Microsoft in Firefox only since the last upgrade does some weird looking and throws an error saying to try again later. If I delete my cookies for live.com and refresh the link it brings me to the sign in page where I can put in the email/password and it opens fine. If I close the window same thing happens and have to clear cookies, etc. Doesn't have the issue on Chrome or Edge, but thought I would make someone aware something odd is happening there. For now I just am using an alternate link https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/ and it comes up fine but it is not re authenticating again at that point.

Is there something I can do to avoid the error?

For many years, I've used a utility called DropZone in my menubar, which (among other things) allows documents to be automatically sorted into user-created locations (e.g., folders in the Finder).

Last night, suddenly, each time I drag a photo from Firefox to DropZone, a large window called "Action Console" opens, displaying a bunch of text. Here's a typical message that's displayed:

[Launching task with command line: runner.rb task-26498]

Task description file task-26498:

ACTION: "/Applications/- Misc. apps/Dropzone 4.app/Contents/Actions/Move Files.dzbundle" EVENT: "dragged" VARIABLE: "support_folder" "/Users/mervynwarren/Library/Application Support/Dropzone" VARIABLE: "dragged_type" "files" VARIABLE: "app_version" "4.80.66" VARIABLE: "apple_silicon" "1" VARIABLE: "os_version" "26.0.0" VARIABLE: "path" "/Users/mervynwarren/Pictures/iTunes art" VARIABLE: "tmp_folder" "/var/folders/7l/ldzhrwyx1v1dy2tky3c1_y640000gn/T/"

[Task completed]

Ironically, although the last line says "Task completed," the task I was attempting to perform (moving a photo into a given folder) is in fact NOT comleted at all.

Further observations:

This behavior is not displayed in Safari. In Safari, images continue to be moved to the desired folder, as intended.

I googled "action console keeps opening in Firefox," and I performed 4 troubleshooting steps that google AI suggested (including launching Firefox into troubleshooting mode). Unfortunately, in troubleshooting mode, the behavior persists, which suggests that this has nothing to do with any add-ons.

I also created a new, test profile—but even in the test profile, the behavior persists.

So, I'm stumped. After years of using Firefox, this behavior has appeared out of nowhere—and I cannot figure out why, nor how to fix it.

Any further suggestions?

I reinstalled the operating system, so to speak, changed my device. I clicked the sync button and it worked. I reinstalled the operating system and reinstalled the browser. I logged in, nothing happened. I rebooted, nothing changed. I clicked sync, everything was the same. Where are my bookmarks and passwords?

Windows 10, latest version.

I hit a shortcut, I think, and heard the trackpad, then one of the three open tabs was isolated from the rest in a separate, almost chromeless window.

It's not in the taskbar pop-ups but instead has its own icon. In this 'chromeless' window there is no option to add a tab or window, there is no area to move it (I have to carefully use emtpy space in between buttons to move it). The top just fell off, that's basically it.

I have never seen this and have been using Firefox from the start way back when. I didn't install anything; this just happened as I was reading something and accidentally touched a key. Nothing changed, no settings were adjusted, nothing.

This option is not in the tabs menu or anywhere. I must say I kinda like it for this one 'tab' (which is a solo chromeless window) but I do need the menu and so on for productivity.

One of the screenshots shows this 'window', the other shows that 'window' is not part of the regular pop-up tabs in the taskbar but rather has its own icon, as if it were an app, in that taskbar.

What in the world is this? Can someone help?

Hi,

I discovered today that the installation of Firefox I have has modified some emoji, like the flag of Switzerland has been replaced with the one from Sark. See the screenshot looking at the same website with Firefox on the left, and Brave on the right:

There's a big mess in the flags' emojis apparently looking at a page showing all the countries. See second screenshot.

How do I create a strong password with Mozilla's Password Manager when I'm not prompted by it to do so? And, also can it be used to generate a password for something that is outside of the browser?

Thanks in adavance.

Yet again Mozilla have decided that yellow folder icons are not needed and have amended the code so user chrome files no longer work. Is there a new way to return the folder icons to yellow or are we stuck with the black icons with a white frame?

.: Hello. A couple of days ago Firefox stopped displaying thumbnails of YouTube videos. I tried YouTube on other browsers and the thumbnails appeared as usual. On Firefox, they've disappeared, but only on my Windows 10 computer. The YouTube thumbnails appear on Firefox on my MacBook. The attached graphic shows what it looks like on my Win 10 computer.

Any ideas on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated. I have also searched the Internet and YouTube for a solution, but was unable to find one that works.

Thank you.

Hi After browsing a particular web site the Firefox browser froze with a single search control on the page and all items frozen. Tried to fix it through settings but no response. See attached screenshot. Refreshed Firefox from Control panel->Programs and Features->Uninstall->Refresh Firefox. This reset Firefox and fixed the problem however the Firefox browser lost several settings and add-ons which I had to manually fix. Glad it is mostly all working again!

When I am scolling and the mouse hits an image, a large image preview appears. How on earth do I turn this off? I can see tab preview images to turn off but not this stupid image previre thing that covers everything I am trying to read or navigate on the web site.

Thanks very much M

Hi everyone, I'm asking for help following the latest update (Firefox 143.0.1): the corners of the top site preview boxes have changed, as shown in the first screenshot. I was wondering if it's possible to permanently restore them to the same state as in the second screenshot, perhaps via userContent.css.
