Firefox Support Forum

Since I updated my Firefox Developer Edition, forms doesn't display properly again even the form margin won't display which makes it very hard for me to know if a data as been input by default or the form is actually blank.

Firefox was working ok to browse localhost:8000 on a development machine running Django development server. However, it suddenly stops working (perhaps after a nightly update). The Django server is running fine at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ but when trying to browse http://localhost:8000/ it just shows the following page:

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2020-07-07-07-00-36-6e06d5.png

Other browser such as Epiphany browser are working ok. I know it´s a problem with Firefox settings because I fixed before for the previous version but unfortunately I don´t remember how I fixed it (I feel so silly now for no been taking notes). It seems that now Firefox updated automatically overnight and override the settings.

Any ideas?

Is there a way to keep the firefox process in foreground? I'd like to write a .CMD script which opens a file location where the profiles are stored (a VHD file), mount it, and then launch it with the profile stored up there, something like:

start "firefox" /W "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "-foreground -profile ""%driveletter%\%ffprofile%"""

...but firefox always forks to background. I do not want that, as this batch script needs to close the VHD file after firefox process completes.

How do I keep the process in foreground?

Launching firefox from the command line:

``` firefox --search test ```

I am expecting to open the search results in a new tab of an existing firefox window. But that doesn't happen. I also tried with ``` firefox --search test --new-tab ``` Didn't work either.

Firefox version: 78.0.1 (64 bits)

Hi, I have recently encountered a problem in that, if I select a link from within a website page, it appears in the title bar at the top of the page, but won't open. Can you advise please? Many Thanks, Geoff. Midgley

Hi,

I've recently had an issue where there is a white bar on one of my other monitors when Firefox is maximised. I have reinstalled Firefox, restarted in Safe Mode, uninstalled it completely and tried a different build (I tried Nightly 80.0a1) and it has remained the same.

The issue does not occur on any other window or browser; I have tried Edge and Chrome and it doesn't occur on either of those.

Here is how it looks in person, and Here is how it looks when Firefox is minimised (The black bar is just the gap between my two monitors)

Here is how it looks in a screenshot (note the white line between the top of the Firefox window and my wallpaper)

When I try to open a local file using file:///Users/myuser/Documents/... , I get "Access to the file was denied". I'm on macOS 10.15.5. GetInfo on the file shows that I have read and write access. Firefox version is 77.0.1. I can't recall whether I gave Firefox permission to access my Documents folder when I first ran it on macOS 10.15. If I didn't, I don't know how to now give it access.

I use roboform and, I guess Firefox, puts the roboform toolbar at the bottom of the screen - frequently there is no option to scroll the screen up and I cannot read what is on the bottom of the screen unless I disable the roboform toolbar, read the line or two I am missing and then reenable the roboform toolbar - not a huge deal but sort of a pain in the neck - any way around that? Thanks in advance for any help.

Firefox won't load any pages at all, the home page is blank and I've tried several things to try and fix it such as restarting my laptop and reinstalling Firefox. I've tried safe mode but everything's still blank on there so I know it isn't my addons. Any help is appreciated!

Hello there!

I write today because I am having this problem every now and then where I try to sign into Dropbox on my Mac desktop and then when I click log in, literally nothing happens. I don't get any error message, no incorrect password message, nothing. Simply nothing happens. I've waited a couple minutes to see if it is simply a slow connection; nope. I've already contacted Dropbox support twice; the first time, the issue just went away on its own. When the issue came back today, I contacted them again and they said it is likely a problem with Firefox since everything works perfectly fine on another browser like Safari. They said to try clearing the cookie cache, which I have now done multiple times, and still nothing happens. I've even updated to the latest version that came out just the other day.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

When I open anything in a new window for Office 365, I get a blank rendering of the content, which I obviously can't use.

This is frustrating, because anytime that I want to pop and email out of Outlook online to focus on later, I can't. Also, if I want to reply to a calendar invite, I can't because outlook pops up a new window that wont render. I really want to keep using firefox because of your mission and privacy... but I may have to move to chrome for this because most of my work is done in outlook online.

I am using latest version of Firefox on Windows 10 machine. We use sharepoint to store files...I am not able to checkout any files using firefox browser. It works with Edge, Chrome and IE ofcourse. Is there any setting I need to configure to make this happen?

Everytime I open a file from TFS, it opens in Read Only mode. If I do the same using edge/chrome/IE, the file opens in excel/word with a checkout button on the ribbon on top. However this option is not visible when using firefox. Please help

Hi there. I am running Firefox version 78.0.1 and am experiencing crashes when streaming ANY video content at the moment. The browser simply closes without any error message being reported. This is the first time that this has happended to me.

Recently Firefox has been asking me for my CAC pin when it starts up. The way I remember it working is it would ask me for the pin only if I was going to a site that needed the credentials.

It's slightly annoying that it asks every time I open firefox as I only need the CAC for work related stuff. Is there a setting or something to disable this? I can't seem to find anything that works.

Version 78.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 10, Although I noticed this was happening on Linux as well.

Hi everyone i have had a problem for about 4 weeks now and its driving me crazy and i cant figure it out. I think it has to do with security certificates but im not totally sure. Every time i log into my bank account i have to go threw them sending a one time security code to my cell phone. This hasn't been the case in the past. Is there a switch or something im missing any help would be greatly appreciated...

For the last week or so I've been having an intermittent problem when I log into my AMEX screen. The saved password does not always show up. I would normally left click the password field and the password would show, however for the last week or so I'm having to right click to get the "fill password" prompt. I clean cookies and cache regularly and I even deleted the saved AMEX cookie(s) and resaved them again. Sometimes it works as it should other times it does not as described above. I've not seen this problem with other web sites. The usually left click to populate the password field. No problems with the user name field. That populates automatically. I look forward to anyone's comments. Thanks
