Firefox list all my stored insecure passwords. How could I remove all (+700) insecure passwords? Not one by one but all together?

Thanks.

btw this solution is not working

Yes, you can - only since the update to Firefox version 73 the extension "xul" has been changed to "xhtml", so now you will have to enter this in the address bar :

chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xhtml

Since this address give me error

Video not working for certain sites

I recently got a new computer, and in trying to get all my old accounts and what not synced up, I noticed that Twitter videos weren't playing for me and giving me a generic "The video could not be played", which was odd and annoying, but not the end of the world. I then went over to Twitch and got the "Your browser encountered an error while decoding the video. (Error #3000)". Meanwhile, Youtube works perfectly fine.

I tried clearing cache/cookies, tried on incognito mode in case it was an issue with one of my extensions, all to no avail - when I swapped over to Edge just to check if it was a computer issue versus a Firefox issue, both sites functioned in Edge just fine. Is there anything else I can try troubleshooting in Firefox to see what's causing this short of trying to uninstall/reinstall again?

Hey Team,

Big basketball fan here and I visit the VoxMedia-controlled blogs of my two fave teams, <https://www.postingandtoasting.com> and <https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/>. But recently (maybe 3, 4 months ago?), I was no longer able to view comments. I could see the message that comments were loading. (See screenshot.) But they don't load anymore. If I want to see them I have to open the site on (gasp!) Safari.

I've disabled all fluff extensions but didn't change anything.

Can you help?

Thanks in advance, Sean

The removal of compact mode makes Firefox less accessible for people with vision problems!

I was helping an elderly friend who is legally blind, with their computer. He uses the windows magnifier to zoom in so he can read what's on the screen. When I opened Firefox the menu and tabs take up an entire half of the screen (not an exaggeration). This is due to the removal of the compact view. There was nothing I could do to fix this problem and make his menu and tabs not to be floating and massive. What this means is that his content view is now less than half of his screen size. This is not accessible for someone with sight issues. I went through a couple of guides and alternative settings to edit in the about:config It looks like the past settings have all been disabled from making changes to the Firefox UI, including trying to disable proton. Everywhere I look it says that Compact Mode is no longer supported and will eventually be removed from Firefox.

I have been a lifetime Firefox user and I changed those settings for myself after the display update a few months ago. I would have to switch browsers if there was no fix. But for my friend who is legally blind I would be required to talk to an accessibility lawyer and see what my options are. Alienating people with disabilities because someone thought the extra space looks cool is unacceptable!

I wanted to make a suggestion, and report a complaint, but all I get from Firefox are endless loops of discussions about things I don't care about and are irrelevant to me! Where's the actual "submit feedback here" button? Where's the What's your problem button?

I've spent an hour wandering through endless screens of help articles and discussion threads. Now I"m just tired of not being able to even report a problem or make a suggestion!

Your whole support system is a morass of failure much like a government operation!

If it matters to anyone: I am using Firefox to play 2 online games: Settlers Online, and RailNation. I am using Vivaldi to play another instance of RailNation.

When I switch from one tab to another or the other browser for any length of time I get disconnected from both Settlers Online and from RailNation. And sometimes I have to restart Firefox or clear cache to get them to reload! This did not happen in previous versions. Win11, new Dell Inspiron, if that makes a difference.

What ever happened to multitasking? What ever happened to persistence?

Websites browsing history does not update or delete. Opening the sidebar, right clicking on an entry and using Forget About this site or Delete Page has no effect. Menu>Settings>Privacy. Private is unchecked. I've selected Clear History Time Range Everything, all boxes checked. Settings When closed Firefox should delete all boxes checked.

Remember Browsing History and it doesn't update when I open the sidebar. Last Visited is the only selection that shows any sites and it doesn't update as I browse new sites. By Date and Site, Most Visited, by site, by date do not show any sites.

I've even uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled and not sure how but it has the same history as well as last tabs opened.

Today I unistalled firefox on my windows laptop and then installed it again. Now my saved passwords are gone.

1. can I get them back? 2. if I can't - will the passwords be erased on all firefox servers so that no one can access the information? I hope so...

Thanks for you assistance

Problem with European Patent Office (EPO) Smartcards

Hello, we're happy firefox users within our patent attorneys' offices', but recently we have problems using our smartcards in firefox, especially for tasks to "renew" smartcards or other simple tasks which used to work with firefox. In Chrome or EDGE, we have no problems with this.

The problem is as follows (on a windows 10 based system) 1. Insert the smartcard 2. The cryptovision driver (version 8.0.12. 708) recognizes the smartcard 3. Call the url http://nrm2.epoline.org/myepoline/pcf/insertSCRenewal.html?siteLanguage=de 4. Firefox asks for the "certificate" (see screenshot) 5. After selecting the certificate, usually the PIN Input dialog form is displayed, but here nothing happens 6. After a while, you get an error that the url could not be loaded (timeout)

On this page https://login.epo.org/ and then "Anmeldung mit Smartcard" the login using the EPA Smartcard works as expected, the PIN input dialog shows up.

In earlier versions of firefox, the smartcards worked better. What is going wrong?

bold text My FF web pages are way too wide and I have to scroll all the time from side to side, to see the whole page, back and forth! Hate it! Not workable. Not only that, the menu texts (not the fonts on the page) are way too small, unless I reduce the whole page with the limited percentage size, and then none of it is readable to me. For a while 67% size helped but not even that works right and I am CONSTANTLY trying to adjust things so I can see them! It used to work great and now it is a CONSTANT BATTLE TO FUNCTION!

All my menu texts are so TINY now, that I can't read them, but the browser page is SO WIDE that I can't ever see a whole page and I have to scroll from side to side to read things, which is a ROYAL PAIN as I miss seeing a lot of things. No one can seem to help. I tried the limited percentage things, 67% used to work but now that is too big and when I go smaller I can't read ANY of the text, it is TOO TINY! I can't do my work! The screen shot won't paste on here.

Firefox Lags While Typing After Last Update

Long story short, it's in the title. After the most-recent update, Firefox has been hanging whenever I type, and I'm right in the middle of typing a novel. The CPU usage spikes, according to the Firefox Task Manager, to 300% or MORE just from typing a few words. Even right now, typing this, the screen is sentences behind where I am in my typing. Took an entire minute for the page to catch up. On a single paragraph.

The hanging/lag does not occur when I navigate between pages, stream videos on Youtube or Netflix, or other things which should be about 100x more resource-intensive than typing a few sentences. And yet, that's all that does it.

There are no problems with lag when using Chrome, Discord, or other internet-based programs for typing. There are some issues with my word processor, Open Office Writer, but only when Firefox is open and running too, even though the two don't interact, to my knowledge.

I have followed every step on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding This page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems And this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resources beyond upgrading my computer, because it is absolutely ridiculous to consider doing that given the circumstances. It's only Firefox having the problem, after all.

In addition, I have reinstalled my keyboard driver, turned off cursor highlighting (it wasn't on, but I enabled it and disabled it again, just in case), and removed any delay in repeat keys in the keyboard config. No difference.

Honestly, I don't know that there's a community-based solution for this, but I'm willing to be wrong about that. I just want to make certain someone more official than myself is aware of the problem.

Thanks in advance, -Tyr
