Firefox Support Forum

I cannot say if the last update was the change. I did not have the issue of bookmarked sites and when I log in, no user name or password is provided, as what happens now. Those bookmarks' login information IS still in my Firefox's about:logins, but now they are not being automatically presented. Even after finding the login credentials, logging in & out, returning to sign-in, the credentials just used are not recalled for use again.

That was not always the case and I would like to know if there's a 'setting' now that needs to be 'toggled' so 'Manage Logins' will work as it was did.

98.0.2 (64-bit)

I just installed Add-on "Search by Image" with "Tin Eye". When I try to launch the program I get the Error Message, "Content scripts are not allowed on this page."

How do I correct this so that it works as advertised?

Hello, when I try to login into various services, such as Outlook, the browser fails to log in and does not redirect to the logged in page. I'm using Firefox 98.0 on Manjaro 5.15.25-1. I tried uninstalling firefox and deleting all the data but the problem remains the same.

The latest update has made it so Firefox opens the download panel every time I download something, a very obnoxious behavior when downloading a lot of files, and I can't find a way to stop that from happening.

[came across another question that brings up the same issue], but that one focuses more on a site presumably changing about:config rather than the issue of the download panel itself.

my bookmark star has disappeared from the search bar ( along with the little page icon for the more friendly reader version) weirdly when I opened this help page it is present again, but then when I try to reopen another tab it's gone again

been looking for a remedy can't find one that recent doesn't talk about the 3 little dots in the search bar

Firefox browser opens minimized - about half size. Support article suggests a refresh, tried that and it works for the first time the browser is opened after the refresh and then reverts to the same size.

Another suggestion was to delete the xulstore.json file as it may be corrupt. Done that several times. Each time, that solution works for the first time the browser is opened. Beginning with the second time, the behavior returns.

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Same result. Works for the first time the browser is opened.

I have no extensions or plug-ins installed other then what exists from the default browser. I am running the current version of Firefox, Windows 11, fully updated system with plenty of RAM and disk space.

Thanks!

After choosing a particular theme, Firefox took over my default windows mode color from light to dark (Personalize/Colors/Choose Your Default Windows Mode--light or dark). If I manually switch back to Light then I cannot check the box for colors to be changed for start, task bar and action center since this box is faded out and non-responsive. I greatly dislike the new black background. I do not want my theme choices to affect my default settings. Any way to override this invasive feature?

Just now, I tried to use "Email Link..." under the File Menu and got a pop-up asking me to "Choose an application to open the mailto link." I have seen this before, several times, usually after updating Firefox, IIRC.

This time, however, Gmail is not presented as an option, in this pop-up. Clicking "Choose..." just opens up a Windows Explorer file-picker window.

I tried to fix this in Tools > Settings, under General > Applications. There, "mailto" just shows "Use other..." and if I click that, the "Select Helper Application" pop-up window is basically blank, with a message at the bottom saying "No applications were found for this file type."

See attached images.

I am running v98.0.2 on Win 10 Pro.

Recently I found that I can no longer view attachment in Yahoo mail without downloading them. Previously I was given an option to view or download. I suspect this is an update issue. Is there a way to correct this to the previous options?

For the last couple of days I have been getting a Redirect notice everytime I click on a image I have search on Google. I have tried it in safe mode and the same thing happens. I have also tried it on my partners account and that works fine and also in Internet Explorer and Chrome so I'm assuming it a setting that I have inadvertently changed in Firefox. Any help would be grateful as it's driving me potty!

My other laptops and desktops have "Use Yahoo! Mail" as the mailto choice. This new desktop doesn't have that option after I installed Firefox. (does have Gmail though)

I have two computers, one for personal use and one for business. Somehow the tabs between the two computers are being shared and I cannot disable it. Both browsers are signed into different Firefox accounts, Sync is turned off on both, and there are no connected devices. Yet despite that, when I go to one computer, it pops up a Firefox icon (see attached) in the taskbar that lets me open the tab open on the other computer. This is incredibly frustrating and Firefox should not automatically share this information, and should not make it so difficult to disable.

Firefox refuses to show my website correctly on my MacBook Pro M1 Pro, using OS 12.2. All other browsers on show it correctly. Firefox on my iPhone and iPad show it correctly too. I have tried all the obvious things... refresh, clear cache, deleted the application and reinstalled. However, I still get the same disjointed view of my website.

Please see the first image of how it looks and the second image of how it should look doesn't seem to want to upload here!

I have been using DuckDuckGo for my preferred search engine. I want to change to the Brave search engine and continue using it on Firefox. I went to the addon page where I found it and tried to download it, but, for some reason, it wouldn't download. Is it possible to use the Brave search engine on Firefox?

Starting today, I cannot access my online bank account at Wells Fargo using Firefox (yesterday, I could). I can access this account using another browser and I can still access another online bank account using Firefox. I tried clearing the cookies cache, but no joy there. TIA for any help on this matter.

Hi,

Up until very recently, I've been able to download files without issue. Every time it'd ask "do you want to open or save?". It's no longer doing that, and instead saves them by default. How do I revert this back to asking what I want to do?

You used to be able to show or hide the downloads list when you started a download. I had my browser set to not show the recent list. Either an update or something else changed that. Every time I click to save a download now, it shows a list of the last 5 downloads that cover a quarter of my screen. I have to click it off every time. Most annoying. I looked through all the settings menus and could not find the option. Where did it go please?

Thanks, Johnny

I look for the smallest zoom possible on the Firefox settings to suit my eyes and I don't find it, there's 67% and 80%. 67 is too small and 80 too big. Unlike other browsers who offer 75% of zoom level, I really want it on Firefox too! If this could come up, it'll look pleasing!

Video playback fails to load. When accessing videos from Crunchyroll on a Macbook pro running Monterey2.3.1 (21E258) from Firefox 98.0.2 (64-bit), I see a spinning animation that never stops. I can access the same content from Crunchyroll by using Firefox from my iPhone without issue. I can view other streaming content like YouTube and Netflix without error. Is there a setting or other fix that I can employ to make this work? I have previously used a workaround with an extension that emulates a mobile environment. Unfortunately this no longer works. TIA for your help.
