Firefox Support Forum

I have read and applied all the fixes from previous responses to this problem and nothing works. Scrolling through Facebook is a nightmare with the page re-loading every 10 seconds, and creating a visual disturbance on screen. Please advise a permanent fix. Thanks

Twice today, I looked up and my yahoo home page changed to a porn site without me doing anything. I see the following url path in history:

I ran a Norton full scan and it found nothing. I'm now running Malwarebytes.

Any clue what got corrupted in FF to allow this to happen? Windows 10, Firefox 53.0.3

Why do so many add-ons and extensions require this permission? According to Mozilla Support page, this permission allows the extension to read information I enter into website like username and password. How is this not a breach of privacy? I am talking about add-ons and extensions like ad-blocker and many video downloaders.

I used to use Theme & Font Size Changer and was able to change the fonts to large and bold so I could read them. Now it doesn't work because of Firefox "upgrades". There really should be an easier way to change fonts, both sizes and colors, because not everyone is 20 years old with great eyesight. Is there a fairly easy way to do this? I'll even take a not-so-easy way if it works.

BTW, I've used "Firefox Colors" and it does make it a bit easier, but I really need to be able to increase the size of the text AND bold it.

The issue seems to be with DRM. Although DRM videos play on other sites like on Amazon Prime Video. I've done everything I could find on the internet as to fix this issue like I've checked and unchcecked play DRM content in the settings and cleared cookies and cache and everything but nothing seems to be fixing the issue. Also, everytime I load Netflix I get a little yellow dialogue box saying installing components please try again. This happens everytime I load Netflix. Now when I click on any video it asks me to install SilverLight, I've installed it already but still it asks me to install it to play the video.

When firefox asked if I wanted to update to the newest version, I answered NO! I had already discovered on my other computer that if I allowed the update, I would lose my ability to restore the previous session, so I wanted to save the tabs so I could reload them. I also lost all of the saved passwords on my other computer and didn't want the same thing to happen on my work computer. But despite answering NO. Firefox updated anyway, and I have lost days of work. How do I get it back? Jack

Hi all,

I just wanted to know how I can save videos from websites to my PC's HDD?

Is it possible to "verify" that the videos I download are unchanged and not altered in any way?

I'm just worried that the videos I download to my PC's HDD will be different from the videos I watch on a website? :( :( :(

Thank you!

There is a site which uses self-signed certificate which i have to visit everyday but since the certificate it uses is untrusted i am unable to connect to it without experiencing some difficulties. How can i get rid of the untrusted certificate error

I got a very official looking red screen with the Firefox logo titled "Urgent Firefox update". It had the normal looking opening file box asking me if I wanted to save the file: firefox-patch.exe, a binary file from https://ahghointernetno.net . I closed the window and started researching if this was real. I did make a print screen copy to WordPad but was unable to upload it here do to unsupported file type.

I've set my Default Zoom level to 150% but it doesn't work. When I open a link or a bookmark in a new tab the zoom level is at 100% as usual.

I have even tried visiting a website, zooming in manually, then opening a link to the same website in a new tab and the zoom level is reset to 100% in the new tab.

I don't use any other extensions which provide page zoom.

I have tried with "browser.zoom.siteSpecific" both true and false but neither helps.

I am using Firefox 59.0.2 64bit. My default search engine is set to Google. When I try to do a search using either the address bar or the search bar I am always directed to Yahoo search. The default search engine does not change but I am always redirected to Yahoo. I do not have Spigot or YahooSearch on my Computer. There is nothing suspicious in my add-ons. I have removed everything from my computer that had Yahoo in it. I have run several malware programs. There is nothing unusual in the programs listed using the control panel or task manager. I have updated Windows. I am still redirected to Yahoo. Again it does not change my default search engine, but redirects it every time.

I know the preferred search engine of Firefox is Yahoo, but is not mine. If this is Firefox's way to force us to use yahoo it will be bye-bye Firefox and hello Chrome.

After installing the security update, Firefox tabs now keep crashing on me. I've followed the instructions to restore Firefox to no avail.

Several recent crash reports: bp-a10725dc-7016-4c3e-bdac-ceab31170901 bp-b80218c4-ab59-4f42-81b4-a291a1170901 bp-a5580f00-9326-4bc5-bf5c-aca530170831 bp-f9ece0da-9f1a-4fd7-8ada-265481170829

Firefox does not play online videos that are "powered by JW Player 7.11.1". They get stuck on a "Loading ad" screen that goes on forever. Examples: http://www.spiegel.de/video/donald-trump-ist-in-saudi-arabien-gelandet-video-1768050.html http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/russland-affaere-ueberschattet-trumps-erste-auslandsreise-1.3514809 Happens in Firefox, including in Safe Mode and with all plugins deactivated. Doesn't happen in IE. No adblocker installed. And yes, I am in Germany, so the content should be accessible to me. All other web video content that is not "powered by JW Player 7.11.1" (BBC, CNN, ABC, YouTube, ...) works fine. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

I need to allow some websites to store cookies, all other cookies are getting deleted every time I close FireFox. There is a dialogue "Cookies and Website-Data"-->"Permissions" that lets me whitelist specific websites. Cookies of these websites should be excepted from the deletion when closing FireFox.

The problem is that everytime I close firefox the whitelisted websites disappear... I had this problem already with Version 69, its still there in 70...

Thanks in advance for any hints...
