Firefox Support Forum

I have set a master password for firefox Logins and Passwords. When I try to look at Passwords sometimes the login screen pops up to allow me to enter the Master Password. Other times I get the screen (see attached photo) that has a login button. When I click the button the screen flashes but does not pop up a password window. If I close all tabs and other windows of firefox browser then start only one firefox browser window it will ask for the master password. That fixes it temporarily but I have to close many tabs and several firefox windows.

I asked Restream support: I have been using Firefox and the screen sharing doesn't allow for the desktop audio to be shared, and I have to use the atrocious google chrome browser to share the screen with the audio (yuck), but I do not like google chrome, and how can I have the popup ask if I want to share the desktop audio on the Firefox browser as well? it only pops up asking which screen or application I would like to use but not if audio should be shared as well. ive tried restarting the browser after clearing cookies and permissions and still nothing.

The restream rep countered with: That is a limitation of Firefox, unfortunately. Different browsers allow different levels of screenshare permissions and Firefox is a lot more limiting than Chrome for some reason. Firefox's screenshare limitations are completely outside of Restream's control - that's how Firefox built their browser. For any feedback on that, I recommend reaching out to them directly.

They also advised if feedback on how the feature is supposed to work to use this article that shows how it works on Chrome: https://support.restream.io/en/articles/4341908-restream-studio-screensharing-feature

I deleted a bunch of old credit cards (all except one)and tried adding a new one, but Firefox (for Windows) won't let me save a new credit card after I enter it. The Save button dims a sec to show the computer acknowledges it and no error statements pop up. FWIW The authentication security setting is off. Please help.

Firefox should again respect the user's wish expressed by "xpinstall.signatures.required".

The arguments for this are relatively clear and in line with the principles of free and user empowering software original practiced by Mozilla and Firefox.

Users should not be prevented from making their own decisions and customizing the browser or, worse, given an incentive to switch to Chrome due to encroaching opaque motives.

Storage permissions are authorized by the user using the requestAccessStorage API recommended by Mozilla, but localStorage is not

shared. Only cookie data is shared.

I want other way to share localStorage in State Partitioning of Firefox.

There used to be a way that we could change a setting to make Firefox prompt whether a user wanted to save on exit. This was extremely useful as I had the choice each time. Sometimes I want to automatically resume my last session, but most of the time I don't. I don't think it should be necessary to have to select 'Restore previous session' as sometimes when I start Firefox I don't remember and I've lost important websites that I haven't bookmarked.

Is there a way to do this in the current version of Firefox? I miss it.

Thanks in advance.

Warmly, Signme Uplease

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!

I am trying to access the website of the Dutch tax office, but am blocked (see attached picture) Only 10 days ago, this was not a problem and I could freely access the website.

I've also tried with other browsers (MS Edge) and a MacBook laptop (Firefox), and I do not get that problem, only with my Windows desktop/Firefox combination.

Facebook chatting not working in mozilla firefox browser from last 7 days, unable to open chat window and chat history. What can i do now? my browser is updated version.

Hi,

Firefox version 110.0.1 (64-bit) for Windows 11 has decided to change it's layout to something I don't like and I can't get it to change back. I've attached a picture of what it currently looks like to this ticket.

What it should be have is a Search Bar that is right aligned (as you can see it's left aligned) and it should be wide enough to almost fill the width of the browser - (I'd like to add some buttons to the right of the search bar)

I've tried clicking on the Vent Icon -> More Tools -> Customise Tool Bar to fix this but I can't make the Search Bar either align right or stretch

Hi,

I go to many websites whose languages I don't know. When I used to use chrome, I could just right-click to translate it to English.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find anything comparable here. Is there any add-ons or anything that I can get for it?

Also, I wanted to create an issue in so that firefox natively supports this. This is the only thing that has kept me from removing Chrome altogether.

Thanks!

Hello,

Please advise thank you in advance Itai m lustgarten

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to email.wetransfer.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

email.wetransfer.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

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

Running Firefox 110.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Pro.

Spell check does not work. No red underlining of spelling mistakes. It is enabled and about:config confirms it. This happened to me a couple of times under Windows 10 and much older versions of Firefox. This is a recurring theme without a one-stop resolution.

Anyone? Thanks

It started when my download button wasn't working so I decided to restart firefox, when it opened all of my tabs settings addons and themes where gone.

No idea what has happened nor how to fix it.

There are a number of threads/articles on this, such as: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1341031

They don't include that if "Clear History when Firefox is Closed" is checked, that even though settings are set to open previous tabs, everything is lost. There are options for that setting but it has wiped out my previous sessions a few times with no recovery available. I have always forgotten which setting does that even when it happens, so am hoping the threads/articles will be updated to include it for fixing the problem. It seems these settings are in conflict though and not clear. If Open Previous Windows and Tabs is set to on, I think it should override wiping people's tabs out in other settings that are buried or not as intuitive.

I have v110.0.1 (64-bit) on my PC. I had originally thought there was a memory leak because memory usage kept growing. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Instead the memory usage seems to be very high in this version. It seems to have stopped at between 1400 and 1500 MB's, which is about double of previous versions.

Just FYI... for the past few days, I've noticed that my Ancestry.com DNA Matches will not open in Firefox on multiple Windows computers. This function works fine in Chrome on the same computers. In Firefox, the rest of the Ancestry website works without problems. I can navigate to the DNA Matches page where it shows Paternal, Maternal, etc., but when I click on the "View Matches" button, only the header and footer information shows up on the resulting page -- no DNA match data appears. It's almost like the Javascript, or whatever they use, isn't firing. I tried texting Ancestry, and their automated response suggested downloading the latest version of Firefox. I've already done that (version 110.0.1 (64-bit)). I don't know if this problem belongs to you or if it's large enough for you to worry about, but it's annoying to me and I'll have to switch to another browser if this can't be resolved. I'd prefer to stay with Firefox. I didn't notice this problem until the past few days (or maybe a week) or so. I'm wondering if it's anything related to your latest update(s)? Thanks!
