Firefox Support Forum

I am trying to get server sent event streams working.

As a test, I placed the following in a php file:

header('Content-Type: text/event-stream'); header('Cache-Control: no-cache'); // recommended to prevent caching of event data.

function sendMsg($msg) {

 echo "data: $msg" . PHP_EOL;
 echo PHP_EOL;

 flush();

}

sendMsg('server time: ' . date("h:i:s"));

When I load the page into FireFox (95.0.2 (64-bit)), it asks me if I want to save or open the file. Obviously it isn't handling the event stream properly (or my code is wrong)

Hello.

I have used firefox for years, and signed in with sync and it automatically synced my bookmarks all the time.

I got a new desktop machine recently & was just trying to setup the firefox on it. It was new and empty of bookmarks. So I signed into my firefox account, then in the bookmark manager, there was an option that appeared to say: 'restore bookmarks..' etc. I did this, but nothing got 'restored' to the new browser.

Then.. on all my other machines, one by one, when I login to them, it is ERASING my bookmarks and leaving nothing !! Arghhhh!!!! I don't know how to deal with it.

so when i have fullscreen on, i can't see the minimize, maximize or close button which before the latest update or the two last updates maybe i could see when i just hovered my mouse to the top of the website i could minimize and maximize or even close if i wanted to even in fullscreen mode, now i have to get out of fullscreen mode to do that and i was hoping i could possibly change that some way or another i checked other posts but they were mostly from 6-7 years ago and unrelated to my issue

Update: The issue comes from the latest NoScript update v11.2.14 (2021-12-30). Disabling the extension fixed the issue. I'll report it to them. The report is available here.

Hi,

Since the latest stable firefox version (95.0.2), it seems like opening a video file which can be played in the browser, like a mp4 file for instance, will result in an error:

   05:05:35,632 Uncaught TypeError: videoElement is undefined
       setFocusToVideoElement chrome://global/content/TopLevelVideoDocument.js:21
       <anonymous> chrome://global/content/TopLevelVideoDocument.js:29
   TopLevelVideoDocument.js:21:5  

The video will plays normally, just to make it clear. Just that the error will appear in the console. And the error will keep reoccuring. Here are some video samples if you need, to see if the error is individual or global.

I checked the source changes on that file but wasn't able to find any change there so not sure why this error is occuring atm, must be a deeper reason. I was aware of that error because i'm using a GreaseMonkey script to automatically redirect some links opened to only have the video displayed with custom settings to avoid having to allow some JavaScript. The error occurs independently of the extension (checked with the script disabled, and the extension disabled).

I am having a problem logging in to two websites that (I believe) are using an OAUTH authentication process but not all OAUTH websites and not all browsers. I have a problem with Firefox but not with Edge.

Using Firefox 95.0.1 (64 bit) on Windows 10 Pro version 20H2 build 19042.1415

The problem websites are patreon.com and washingtonpost.com At the Post the website asks for a password then click next button and you should get a password prompt. When I click Next the button goes grey and insensitive and never returns. No timeout nothing.

On Patreon the site has text boxes for both account ID and password these both accept text but the "Login" button just displays an infinite looping circle.

Other sites using OAUTH Google, the NY Times don't have any problems.

... OK I have discovered that the problem is due to the Bluhell Firewall 2.9. Turning it off fixes the problem. I will post this here anyway since it might be useful if anyone else has this problem. I am also going to try to figure out what Bluhell is filtering that is causing this problem and complain

I noticed the toolbars had changed positions and thought I'd use the customize page to see if I could reorganize them. Somehow I ended up with the usual three toolbars, but bookmarks are on the top (tabs) toolbar, not the bottom (bookmarks) toolbar, which is empty. This is Ubuntu 21, firefox 95.0b2.

Top: Starting on the far left are the Ubuntu window controls, my bookmarks. and tabs. Middle: The customized URL/search bar. Bottom: The bookmarks toolbar, which is empty. I know this is so because CTRL-SHIFT-B hides and shows it.

I can drag bookmarks on the top(tabs) toolbar around, reorganize them, and and delete bookmarks and folders, but always only on the top (tabs) toolbar. I cannot drag any of them to the bottom (empty bookmarks) toolbar.

Print from screen or print from Email (Outlook, Microsoft 365) hangs up; the screen says "Preparing Preview" forever. Firefox prints alright from Adobe and other programs, but not from Email or Print for Firefox. Chrome has no problem printing from Outlook Email or Print from Chrome. Can anyone advise on what may be the problem and what I can do to fix it? I've rebooted the computer several times and gone through Firefox troubleshooter (and for my troubles had to reset everything as best I could). {I'm an old guy and not especially computer literate}

My Mac Book Pro crashed so I could not download the bookmarks before buying a new Mac and I cannot retrive the old bookmarks from excisting profiles. (How) Can I get the old bookmarks on my new Mac?

Padlet.com will not allow Firefox and I need to be able to access for online studies. Please don't make me use chrome!!!

To avoid neck strain, I have my browser window set to fill only the lower part of my screen - not maximized.

When I open regular FF, it opens the window to the desired size & position. But when I then open a private window, it opens in the right size, but at the top of the screen, and I have to move it down every time - which strains my neck. Is there any setting I can change so that the private window will open in the same size & position as the regular window?

Okay, so I decided to sync my Firefox from my laptop with my work computer. I wasn't thinking about it also making all my passwords available on my work computer, which I do not want. I thought just signing out and using the browser 'un synced' would mean the passwords weren't available, but nope. While signed out, if click into passwords I can still see them all. So my question: If I delete the passwords from here (signed out) on my work computer, will it also delete them from my laptop browser (that is signed in)?

All of a sudden I have started getting "Secure Connection Failed" (see attached) on way too many websites. I have not changed ant settings or software on my computer. Please tell me this is something Firefox knows about and is fixing.

When I try to see my history using the History -> Show All History menu-item or Hamburger -> History -> Manage History menu-item, Firefox displays a Library window without any history. My Settings' History "Firefox will" has been set to "Remember History" for many years. I shut down my laptop and turned on my laptop and saw the same behavior.

I would have attached to this message a screenshot that shows the Library window, but could not because when uploading my screenshot, the Uploaded images' area showed a rotating circle that kept rotating for at least ten minutes and I got tired of it wasting my valuable time. The image's size is 63 KB. I tried uploading using Firefox and Chrome and both showed the same behavior.

When double clicking on an email msg in Outlook, Firefox opens a new pop up screen, but it is blank. Using EDGE (and with same add ons), and doing the same thing, it works and am able to see my email message. How come Firefox doesn't do same?

My account on Ring.com no longer displays my camera devices using firefox. I get this message: Sorry I can not paste the error.

Live view is not currently supported for firefox? It has always worked until some recent update. What has changed?

Hi there, It was few weeks this is happened to me. Before then everything was great. First i thought i may have internet connection error but it wasnt. When i start to play video over youtube mozilla not responding for 5 to 10 seconds. This is also happends when i want to reward back in video. If i want to open another video from youtube/twitter or any other else in another tab again mozilla stopped working couple of seconds. I tried everything; safe mode, hardware acceleration, unistall/install with older version. None of them is working. Do you have any solution for that?

Since a few hours, Youtube hasn't shown videos, comments, recommendations. It doesn't show any videos when I click on "abos". It only shows white space were the videos should be. If I type in a keyword in the search bar only white space is the result. The only way I can access videos is from the start page. There, recommendations are visible, and I can click on them and watch the videos. However, comments are still invisible, and the playlist space and the recommendations space to the right are also empty.

What I have alredy tried:

Firefox is updated, plug-ins are all up-to-date, and I have emptied my cache and deleted cookies. I've signed off YouTube and on again. I disabled adanced tracking protection. I tried opening YouTube in a private window. Nothing changed. Internet Explorer shows YouTube as it should, as does Firefox on my mobile phone. What can I do?
