Firefox Support Forum

I am using Windows 10 with Firefox as my browser. I've been using Firefox for 20 years with no problems. My Windows recently did an update and now I have no audio output from Firefox. Audio works fine with every other application including Edge. I have followed all instructions given in Firefox help. Nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated.

When I go to clear the cache, browsing history, cookies, etc. the only options we have are "Today", a few even smaller time periods (1, 2, 4 hours), or "Everything"! What's up with that? Every other browser offers at least the option of "past 7 days" or some other time period that goes further back than one day, without having to clear "Everything", don't others find this to be arbitrarily limited? I can't even delete cache from yesterday, much less a few days earlier...

Hi,

On what port does the firefox extension update on does it use port 21? I need the extensions to be auto updating like set and forget knowing that my firewall is not blocking the required port

Thanks

Google Translate keeps popping up on an online directory page. I did not install the Google Translate extension or set up anything for translation, but it jumps in and covers the content. Please help me to stop it. Thank you. Please look at the screenshot.

I need pinned tabs to show their title, just like normal tabs. They currently only show an icon, but apart from the fact that in my case the icons are identical to one another so I can't know which one is which without hovering them, I'm more of a text person anyway.

So, how to make pinned tabs show their title?

Firefox seems to think I am in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. I am actually in New York and have no connection to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

Google Chrome on the same (Windows 11 Microsoft Surface Pro X) computer has the right location for me, as does Microsoft Edge. Checking my IP address with https://www.iplocation.net/ gives a location reasonably close to my real location and nowhere near Arkansas.

If I clear all cache in Firefox, it does go back to the right address - at the cost of a lot of annoying re-entry of routine information. But after a few days it goes back to insisting I am in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

Before I switch to Chrome, is there a way to fix this?

In troubleshooting another issue, I discovered that running Firefox without hardware acceleration occasionally results in very weird text corruption and video stuttering. I was able to capture some screenshots of the issue, which I have attached. The text is still selectable and copy/pasting it to a document will show the proper text. Closing PIP windows helps the stuttering a bit. Issue persisted when a single tab of Firefox was the only non-background program running.

I have turned hardware accel. back on and haven't experienced the issue since. Just thought I ought to post in case someone else had this issue too.

My chrome extension is working fine and i want to make it compatible with Firefox as well. In the extension i have used eval method that is throwing error "EvalError: call to eval() blocked by CSP".

I also tried to add below configuration in the manifest 3 file but still getting the CSP issue. ('wasm-unsafe-eval' is also not working.)

 "content_security_policy": {
   "extension_pages": "script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval'"
 }

an I simply increase the width of the scroll bar. I have switched to EDGE because it has a nice wide scroll bar. I'd rather continue with FIREFOX if possible. Ed Rosencrants

I have rarely used Firefox on my laptop and Iphone. Neither device has information about logins, etc. that I would want to overwrite information on my PC.

For a trip, I would like to have Firefox on the laptop and Iphone up to date.

Only my PC has the most recent logins addons and bookmarks saved that I want. How do I send logins, addons, bookmarks from my PC to my laptop and to my Iphone to begin syncing.

I fill in many repeated responses, such as DOB, zip code, etc. I was using Edge for a while and have forgotten the benefits of FF. Does it remember? Can I edit or delete the ones that are no longer relevant or have changed - age, for instance?

Thank you.

Don't know what I did but somehow I moved my Open Tab Bar and it is showing under the Navigation Bar. I've tried the Customize Toolbar option but the TAB bars are not an option to move. How can I reposition Open Tabs?

I am visiting mymother who likes to eat in a local supermarket where they have a cafe. I paid for our meal using cash and I did not use the in store wifi and did not interact with any in store services.

I get back to my mothers apartment and open firefox to do some browsing, the first thing I see is a sponsored ad for the supermarket I have just been in.

So two questions, I understand that my phone number can become visible if I interact with a local service. But no interaction took place but they still worked out who I am and where I was. How was this done?

Secondly some financial interaction has presumably taken place between firefox and whoever controls the advertising for the supermarket. So they put out some kind of call to say "this guy has just been in our supermarket and we want to hit him with some linked content" and firefox have put up there hand and said "yep we got him right here, you pay us x and we will stick a link on his opening page"

So how does that work with firefox? so they say thay are a privacy web brower but they appear to have just sold me off to a supermarket?

So just as the title says there is an issue with the binance.us web site and the newest version of Firefox. when you try to type a number like 2.50 into any field the decimal disappears and you end up with 50 not 2.50 if you type 250 into the fields you can go back and add the decimal point so the entry is 2.50 but it's very annoying to have to do this every time.. the previous version of Firefox and all other prior versions did not have this issue

In macOS you can set up a global keyboard shortcut for the Move Window to Right Side of Screen command via System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.... In most apps that support the Move Window to... commands, this will simply move the window to the desired side of the screen when the key combo is pressed.

However, in Firefox the key combo will start the animation as normal but the window will then bounce back to its original location. It's only when the command is activated via a keyboard shortcut that it does the bounce back behavior, though; the command works as intended when activated from the Window menu in the menu bar or from Option + green button in the top left of the window.

The key combo I set up was Shift + Option + Command + Right Arrow, but I've also tried a couple of different key combos and they all did the same bounce back behavior. I've tried it on machines with different versions of macOS (Sonoma beta and Ventura) with the same result. The bounce back behavior also effects the Move Window to Left Side of Screen command.

My pc runs on Windows 10. I've always had my bookmarks in a column on the left side of my screen. Yesterday I was unable to access my BT acount - which includes my emails via Firefox, wich is my default browser. BT Helpdesk suggested I try another browser - and sure enough I could acces the BT data using Google Chrome & Microsoft Edge. However my preference is to continue to use Firefox, and all other bookmarks worked witih Firefox, as did any other searches. The BT Helpdesk then talked me through resetting Firefox to Default - which worked in enabling me access my BT acount - and my emails - but my bookmarks are now lined up at the top of my Firefox screen and I've spent / wasted ages trying to get them back to the left side.
