And also Please check for me what is making my data to finish so quickly, it was not like that at first but now my data doesn't last for long anymore.

Thank you M

Hi, so since around update 153.0 i've had this persistient issue of whenever I am forced to re-open firefox (whether by an update, a restart on my computer or a crash) it begins to persistiently quit responding and will never work until i close it. After a LONG while of just trying to open it again, it begins to run, but it also signs me out of a good handful of things, so I end up spending 20+ minutes signing in on everything (considering 2fa on some of those things). This used to just happen with the big number updates, but tonight my computer had to restart and I experienced the same thing happening with firefox just loading and loading. I tried letting it sit and of course it did nothing, I attempted to use troubleshoot mode and there was virtually no difference (it was still frozen until i closed it). The only things I haven't done are the nuclear options of refreshing or reinstalling firefox (mainly because I have a lot of extension settings I would rather not lose because I don't remember all of it). I am writing this on a mobile tablet right now because my computer is still experiencing this persistiently, no matter what i do now, and it's becoming annoying because of the fact that i do have to sign into everything EVERY TIME now it seems. Extra information about my settings to answer some of the "do you have (this setting) on?" or other functional questions: -I keep cookies on and stored on the device -I have hardware accelleration off -I had several extensions on including ublock origin, but again, troubleshoot mode (which disables all extensions temporarily) had the exact same result of firefox hanging. Disabling certain extensions manually also didn't work. -i can't provide exact technical info on my pc since im not on it rn nor really want to deal with fighting it any longer tonight to write this but my computer is on the lower-end, but can still run and does run things like discord/steam fine; firefox started persistiently freezing after a fresh restart of my computer, and I didn't open anything outside of firefox and related firefox modes (ie private browsing) attempting to troubleshoot today. -last time i signed back in before it kept crashing constantly was 4 days ago I really hope this explains my issue well enough and I hope someone can give some advice on my next step forward. I'm becoming a little desparate for answers since i don't know how long this goose chase of constantly re-logging into everything the services i'm logging back into will tolerate, as one of my emails is now blocking my main 2fa method for some reason, so I'm a little worried.

Greetings!

I have a few questions if you'd be willing to answer.

There have been some changes and new additions to the croatian dictionary (https://github.com/krunose/hunspell-hr) and as such, the Firefox dictionary could be updated.

Can you confirm that the dictionaries and language packs are separate additions and that the dictionaries are used for spellchecking? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

When is the spellcheck dictionary installed, only when the user installs it or when the user installs a language pack?

In addition, the croatian dictionary has not been active for the past eight years. Maintainer of the current hunspell-hr dictionary has said that person behind the croatian dictionary extension has not responded for several years. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/croatian-dictionary/ https://github.com/akoncic/mozillacroatiandictionary

What are your suggestions how to handel the situation? There is already a fork of the extension that is used as a pull request but has not been merged for years. https://github.com/krunose/mozillacroatiandictionary

Thank you for your understanding.

Have a wonderful rest of the day.

Доброго времени суток.

Я установил сертификаты по инструкции, которая лежит на s.sber.ru/70VQ2B . После этого не прогружается полностью окно входа на online.sberbank.ru (не видно содержимого фреймов). Проблема полностью аналогична описанной здесь: https://support.mozilla.org/ru/questions/1597415

Firefox ESR115.40 (64-разрядный, Windows 7) - страница выглядит, как на скриншоте по ссылке выше.

Установлены скачанные сертификаты в самом браузере, они отображаются в разделе Управление сертификатами -> Центры сертификации. После этого абсолютно ничего не изменилось.

Может, надо еще что-то сделать? Или на Firefox ESR115.40 вообще работать не будет? До перехода на сертификат от Минцифры России проблем не было.

About two months ago, after various Windows and Firefox updates, I can no longer make Firefox the default browser. In Windows Default Apps the only option for FF is to make it the default program for Adobe Acrobat Document. Choosing Make FF Default through the browser does not work either. Additionally, I’ tried numerous suggestions, using AI help offered by both FF and Chrome, without success.

The OS is not allowing me to make Firefox the default browser. Is there any way around this?

Any suggestions?

Firefox: 155.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Pro Version: 25H2 OS build: 26200.9278

I am looking for an addon which displays times in different locations. I find one, FoxClock, which initially seems to meet my need. However, although the developer says its safe, and it has a Recommended badge, text in the app description says "Access your data for all websites." This may be 'honest' but it seems to be honest at the level of a thief saying "I'm going to rob you." WHY would a clock app need access to my data for all websites? Why would a clock app displaying on my desktop, not my browser, need to access any info about my data for any website? Poor coding? Lazy coding? Dangerous coding? Is this only a result of less than nuanced messaging by the developer or Mozilla, by using a generic message, rather than one which accurately states the 'access' is only for specified installation needs? Or another understandable safe reason? I'd like an explanation, since it does call into question the degree of security offered by Mozilla.

I have logged into TinyURL.com MANY times using Firefox. Now, I get a Cloudflare Validation Error when trying to do so (see attached screenshot/snip).

This was done in Troubleshooting mode, but is the same in standard mode, though I have no extensions enabled. I've tried turning Protection Tracking off; no luck. - We use ZoneAlarm, but the Web Secure functions are all disabled. - I have the same issue on 2 PC's, one Windows 10 and the other Windows 11, 64-bit. - I'm on FF release 150.0.2 - 64-bit, and both Windows installs are fully updated and kept that way. - I've reached out to TinyURL in hopes of resolving the issue. They suggested many of the above steps but not resolved this issue. - HOWEVER, I've found that login via Google Chrome IS seamless - no issues.

What is it with Firefox that it's having issues with the Cloudflare "Human" check? I've checked the Cloudflare site; all conditions are good, and this very setup passed the "Turnstile" check.

FF is my #1 preferred browser, so please look into this. I see that others have posted similar issues over multiple years here (but a search of support articles didn't find one . . .)

Thanks,

How do I remove "add sitename"* from Search bar drop-down menu?

• sitename refers to whatever site you are on at the time

I have no use for this option and find it overly invasive. I have searched everywhere for solutions and have not found any that work. If it is not currently "removable", please make it so.

Thanks

Здравствуйте. Я установил сертификаты по инструкции, которая лежит на s.sber.ru/70VQ2B . После этого в мозилле не прогружается полностью окно входа на online.sberbank.ru, не видно содержимого фреймов (сейчас попробую сделать скриншот). В Microsoft Edge работа нормальная. Удаление сертификатов, перезапуск браузера и компьютера не помогли. На других компьютерах ещё не проверял. Посоветуйте, пожалуйста, что можно сделать. Windows 10, Firefox 153.0.3 (64-разрядный).

I noticed that my Tab background color doesn't change after recent Firefox updates.

I have this code (css - chrome) to change the color of the active tab to green and it no longer working.

/* Start code: Change color of active tab to Green and the inactive to default*/ tab[selected="true"] *{ background-color: #00c100 !important; /*Green */ font-size:10pt !important; font-weight: 650 !important; color: black !important; }

Any help in fixing this is appreciated. Regards,

I have a cmdfile to open specific news websites in a private window. The syntax of the cmdfile line is

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window %*

with a "timeout /t 2 /nobreak" call for a 2 secs pause between each to give things time to get going (firefox seems to trip up if I rush it with URLs using start command .. probably understandable).

This works, but all "windows" open in a new tab in the existing or initial private window instance. I want them to each open in their own instance of a private window. It seems to be behaving like the option -new-tab rather than a genuine new private window for each URL.

What option/s do I need to use to get a true new private window with just the specified URL open in a single tab for each URL I have coded?

Hi I've attempted to disabled the entire new block of 'Stories' but they continue to show up cluttering my screen. Why isn't 'disable' working? How can i get rid of everything except the search window and my single line of helpful links? Gary

My font on some sites is being forced to this horrible condensed font and it's seemingly nothing to do with my font settings in browser. Thing is, I VAGUELY remember changing a setting SOMEWHERE to actually do this, but it's not the main font setting in accessibility. Furthermore this issue has only started happening in the last day or two and my vague memory of setting my font somewhere was years ago.

Is there any other setting in Firefox that affects default font for certain sites?

[Images attached from terraria.wiki.gg in a normal tab (with bad font) and private browsing tab (with the font it SHOULD have) for comparison]

this old man cannot find the home button? I thought i had looked everywhere i could imagine but it must be right where i couldn`t imagine, I would certainly appreciate some help. Thank you for your time and effort.
