Firefox Support Forum

on a MAC LAPTOP....Mozilla Browser updated yesterday... missing all logins/passwords...sync is on... how can I retrieve the old mozilla for logins?

HELP PLEASE..!!!

I've checked all the proposed solutions to the topic "access denied" and particularly one which seemed similar to mine but the offered solution didn't work.

the "access denied" is the reply when trying to access the EDF site while, with the same exact configuration, the access is fully accepted with Edge or IE, after the time needed to load and Edge or IE.

I have a new computer and want to put my bookmarks list as a drop down button on the main menu like I had on my older computer. It is very confusing following your instructions on how to do this. Can you help? Chuck

Firefox does not play videos from this website: https://texassports.com/index.aspx. Only showing a black box.

Edge and Chrome play the videos with no problem.

This problem exists on three different laptops, two W10s and one W7.

I am a long time user of Firefox and have never had this problem before.

What setting(s) do I need to change?

Auto-updated to v105 today (105.0.2 64-bit Windows 10) and all bookmarks were gone. Not just gone but the bookmark manager seems not to be rendering properly (see attached image where there should be at least some elements drawn). Additionally, neither the bookmarks nor history left pane show anything (second attachment).

The 105 update was applied this morning when first opening the browser. Profile folder -> bookmarkbackups shows a backup from just before the update. Bookmark library -> Restore gives that backup as an option, but restoring that backup has no effect (does nothing).

Exiting Firefox and manually moving places.sqlite to a backup location and then restarting also has no effect. places.sqlite is rebuilt but library -> restore still has no effect.

On occasion, I come across a web page that offers to send an email if you click on the link eg, I was researching regulations for personal care homes in GA and there was an option to send an email to the administrators to ask them for more information.

So, I click on the link and rather than getting the email address, firefox goes to open the "mail" application on my mac.

Well, I never use that application because it is too slow and bulky. I can't use basic text options like bolding or italics and such. Not to mention, it takes forever to load.

I use GMX for mail and it is accessed through Firefox. It is not an application that "lives" on my computer.

How can I get Firefox to respond to these email buttons on websites by going to GMX?

Thanks, Charles

When I open Reddit in regular browsing mode the page loads but I cannot interact with anything at all. I cannot scroll, click buttons, or even go to other tabs or close the tab. Firefox (from what I can tell) freezes completely, the buttons to close the window and minimize it do not work either and I can only close it with task manager. I went into troubleshooting mode to try and fix it myself and it works perfectly there. I went back into regular browsing mode and disabled all my addons, but the problem happened again. After this I tried clearing my startup cache and the browser still froze. Other websites like Youtube and Twitter function normally.

I attempted to log in to these forums today only to be told I used an incorrect password. Twice this has happened now since I first created an account. I've had to reset it again. Why does this happen?

I logged in to Firefox on my new computer and I know I had everything accept credit cards checked off to sync and have been logged in. I double checked everything and made sure to sync just in case. After logging in to Firefox on my new computer, it still shows everything that i had checked off to sync but it's not syncing anything and looks like a fresh install of Firefox with no account, even though I'm logged in and have synced. What am i doing wrong? I consider myself to be pretty competent when it comes to this stuff and I don't see what is wrong.

I would have posted in the previous thread about this issue

How to turn off message that asks to update password

However it has been made readonly and nobody can comment on it further

So, as I use the internal website, my proxmox web server, it will often ask me if I want to update the password.

I can safely ignore the prompt and it disappears. It is just annoying.

The previous answer (the top google link for "firefox proxmox keeps asking update password") only says "use a private tab" but that is also annoying because my add-on wouldn't be mostly turned off. And I don't want to turn them on for all private tabs either !

So, how can I turn off asking to update password for this specific host only ?

thanks!

I have checked several times, windows, and FireFox (drivers I haven't) are all up to date; I have tried: Reinstalling, Resetting, removing all extensions and theme, each individual extension, watching videos on the private mode, downloading firefox fresh once again, etc. Nothing works, I can't play a single video on youtube through FireFox. Be it private, or not. Reddit videos do not work, Netflix does not work, everything keeps on loading, I'd like any help. I want to stay with FireFox, but I can't watch a single thing...

Why do I get blocked from certain websites? for example, when I try to log on to my account as USPS I get the following message: You do not have permission to access this page If you have found this page in error, please contact support Reference:2935806335620971961367312269849628258120034968299102359

This has happened to some other sights as well.

Thank you.

I recently switched to linux and I cannot find a way to link profiles from my windows install. In an older version I could make a symbolic link in ~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles to the profiles in /run/media but now profiles are stored in ~/.mozilla/firefox and it doesn't understand my symbolic links, how can I do this?

Dropdown lists are not displaying their contents when selected on certain websites, including eBay.

I have tried using Troubleshoot Mode and the dropdowns are still not displaying.

Here's an example where I am seeing this behaviour: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255536264049?var=555488018135

When I select the Resistance Level dropdown, nothing happens. It's the same for any listing that has a dropdown.

This issue occurs in both RPM and Flatpak instances of Firefox.

I have tried the same page in Chromium browser on the same computer and the dropdown functions correctly in that browser.

I have also noted the same behaviour on other websites, such as train booking sites, but I don't have any other examples to share at the moment. It isn't an isolated eBay issue anyway.

Any ideas? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
