Firefox Community Forum

Hi, I had the idea to try Opera browser as I saw various videos about it. Firefox does slow me down at times even though it's what I have used for years.

Soon after, I defaulted back to using Firefox but the settings must have gotten changed. Everytime I wish to log in to any site, I have to type in my email again. The passwords usually are the old ones that show up.

With Amazon for instance. I must sign in and verify with codes sent to my mobile few times a day. I have searched for help online and gone through the cookies and history and privacy settings, turn this on or that off, don't do this and don't do that. Despite all that, the sites don't remember my email logins. If I go from voucher code to another site, it doesn't remember my credentials, so I don't get the deal or voucher. Amazon on my mobile works perfect but on my laptop, it's just a nightmare to have to sign in and verify each time. Outlook refuses to recognize my password most times and so it goes on.

If I cannot fix this asap, I will then have to remove Firefox as a browser altogether and find anything else that works! Please advise. Last time I reached out to Firefox, I never heard back! Fingers Crossed x

Apparently there's a new PDF feature that shows up on the right in a sub-window whenever I try to view a PDF. "Now you can highlight your PDFs!" it screams. Unfortunately I can't use it nor can I get rid of all the "real estate" that it takes up. I'm using a fully-updated FF browser on an ASUS E410 with Win11 H23. I've tried every possible option to change the FF magnification or my screen size. NOTHING WORKS. Before this thing intruded my space for viewing PDFs or changing PDF forms, everything was fine. Now I am forced to find another solution See attached.

Printing a pdf feature cannot scale up. Independently from the choice of file or printer, printing at a scale more than 100% does not change anything. Unfortunately this extends to the "Fit to page width" option - attempting to print a document with pages smaller than paper size produces an unscaled, small document on a part of the page.

Firefox version: 131.0.2 (64 bit) Windows verion: Windows 10 Education 22H2

Good day, Last update of Firefox "131.0.2", i faced an issue mentioned in the attached below, lines are overlayed over each other. I downgraded to Firefox "128.3.1esr" and the problem is resolved. Now I'm staying on the older version till the issue is resolved. Please keep me posted and let me know if there is anything to do by my side. Thanks in advance. Rani raysudki@hotmail.com

Ever since the update to version 131 (64-bit), I have found that Firefox's autofill feature is malfunctioning. When I try to autofill credit card details, it displays the details of the one card I have stored, but does not paste them in.

If I start typing them in manually on a web page it shows me that it already knows them, but if I stop typing and click on the displayed autofill it immediately forgets any characters I haven't just typed in.

Suggestions would be much appreciated (I now have 131.0.2 but the problem has not gone away). Many thanks.

There is this new notification asking if i want to use google mail on Firefox, and pressing 'Not now' or closing with the X does not help, this notification pops up on every Firefox launch

There is a lot of sites I visit that I no longer have access to regardless they are HTTPS Makes no sense I'm old enough to know what I can and can't watch Now there is a site I want to use for making money and I am blocked from going to it for no reason I used to love to use Firefox as my preferred browser but it's pushing too far now

Firefox will not open after downloading your latest update. An error message comes on screen: The file directory is corrupted and unreadable. This is occurring on a windows11 pc. I can open other files thru the microsoft browser. I'd appreciate some help, thanks, Gary

Running Firefox on macOS Sequoia 15.0. Afternoon of Tuesday, 8 October, Firefox abruptly ceased loading any pages. I eventually learned of the malware incident and downloaded Firefox 131.0.2 last night and overwrote the existing file. It worked for a brief moment, then also ceased functioning. Have downloaded 131.0.2 several times now, with no further success. Currently dead in the water with Firefox, and stuck with Safari. :(

Wireless cursor just gone after this last update. Changed the battery and all the usual tap, blow on it, no luck. Purchased a new mouse from amazon and no improvement. I found an article to fix this but cannot find what they refer to or understand the names used. I am just there saying, the what? go were?

I have dealt with this tiny font problem before but did not retain the fix because I actually thought I had solved the problem once and for all.

BUT, I wake up this morning, having made no changes to this laptop overnight, only to discover that the fonts on my Firefox browser controls are tiny tiny tiny.

I expect Firefox/Mozilla to resolve this LONG-STANDING problem once and for all. I have made no changes to this browser in the last 24 hours. There were two MS updates that occurred overnight, but I doubt this affected the fonts on the Firefox application.

If there is a straightforward FF/Mozilla doc that addresses this problem (since it is recurring and well documented by others over the years), I would appreciate a link to this document. And if there is a known problem with certain MS updates I would appreciate knowing about this as well.

TIA

I can no longer sign in to Last Pass on Firefox but can sign in on Chrome. I've been a loyal Firefox user for years. I don't want to switch to another browser. How can I fix this?

Does MacOS requires the version 131.0.2 Firefox update to address the recent zero-day active exploit?

The reason I ask is Tanium Deploy Software Gallery only includes updates to Windows Firefox versions to address this zero-day.

Description: Mozilla 0-day. CVE-2024-9680 is a use after free vulnerability in the Animation timelines component of Mozilla. Animation timelines are a part of Firefox’s Web Animations API, which controls and synchronizes animations on the web pages. An attacker may exploit the vulnerability to achieve code execution in the content process. Use-after-free vulnerability occurs when the memory that has been freed is still used by the program. The vulnerability may allow attackers to add their malicious data to the memory region for code execution. *Affected Versions* * Firefox versions before 131.0.2 * Firefox ESR versions before 128.3.1 * Firefox ESR versions before 115.16.1. *Mitigation* Customers can upgrade to the following versions to mitigate the vulnerability: * Firefox 131.0.2 * Firefox ESR 128.3.1 * Firefox ESR 115.16.1 For more information, please refer to the [Mozilla security advisory|https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-51/].

Dear Friends. Trust this finds you well. I have a AOL icon in the taskbar/Bookmarks that's below the browser enter window. When I sign in all is well and then sign out of AOL all is well. But, it takes me to a totally white blank page in the upper left corner it says "Edge: Not Found." As well in the upper right corner AOL offers Home and RALPH If I tick on HOME it brings me again to the totally white blank page in the upper left corner it says "Edge: Not Found." The address in the Browser is https://www.aol.com/ automatically. If I tick RALPH which opens a small box so that I can Sign out. Again though it show "Edge: Not Found." At that point the address in the Browser is https://www.aol.com/?ncid=crosssellusaolc00000003. I reinstalled Mozilla, cleared cookies, cache, etc. But, nothing seems to change this activity. Any help or suggestions much appreciated. Best, Raphael

I have Firefox as my desktop default browser. When I try to make on line pharmacy appointments, Firefox will not complete the process. I am forced to use Edge or Chrome. Could this be a Firefox problem or a Rite Aid problem? Thank you.

I have a valid account with the San Francisco Chronicle. When I log in using Firefox 131.0.2 (aarch64) on my Macbook Pro Apple M1 Max Sonoma 14.6.1 the Chronicle site doesn't appear. It works fine using other browsers, for example Safari.

I get the following in the URL location:

The Video Downloadhelper that I have in my computer is active when I open my Firefox browser. When I switch or open the YouTube tab, the icon becomes inactive and I cannot download any music from YouTube. What can I do and is there any solution for this?

Thanks in advance for your solution.
