Firefox Support Forum

Until recently, this extension had worked well on YouTube, where downloading videos has usually worked for years without an issue.

However over the past month or so, when using the Linux system, it's become impossible to download any video from YouTube, without an error popping up after a couple of seconds.This occurs whatever choice of aspect for a video is available, be it in mp4 or mkv format. I should emphasize that this issue only seems to occur on YouTube. Other unrelated sites that host video-sharing still work with Linux.

In Windows 10, Video DownloadHelper with YouTube still seems to be working as normal. So any ideas why I can no longer use this extension with Linux and YouTube?

Regards,

Currently using stock version of firefox which came with debian 12. I have tried every solution that I could find but none of them work. The touchscreen behaves like a pen instead of a touchscreen.

I'm looking at a web-page in a specifc firefox window or tab. When I want to leave it, I'll "delete" the tab" or the window by clicking the "x". BUT, often, I want to have ALL the cookies of this web-site deleted. - Perhaps a right-click on the "x" should pop-up a window saying: [do you want to clear all cookies for "abc.de" ] - and then I click "yes", and I'm done!!! Any more complex solution as spelled-out here in support is not a good solution; we need a "one-click" method.

Thanks, I hope a Firefox developer is listening.

Why does firefox constantly ask for capchas on VPN when doing searches on Google? It is a serious problem. The vpn is for my security, not google.com

For the past few days, the YouTube website has behaving unusually in Firefox. The volume and play/pause controls don't work. The picture in picture mode does not work. And most importantly, the search bar is broken. Whenever I type something and click the search button or press enter, the value entered disappears and I have to type it all again, only that this process goes on for infinite number of times and so, I can't even search for anything on YouTube.

I am having trouble to open firefox browser for ubuntu 20.04(focal). I have also delete mozilla folder from cache and then reinstalled again. I have tried to rename profileini file. Finally I have uninstall and install using terminal by "sudo apt install firefox" but still I am getting this error "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible".

How to resolve this.

Thanks in advance.

I've got a pretty simple question here.

I do work thru a website doing data entry. One of the forms has a "copy this data to all similar fields" button. When I used to use Chrome, I could click the button and it would work with no pop-up dialogue. In Firefox, it creates the dialogue below (mozillahow2.png) asking me to confirm that I want to copy the data. It has an option to prevent the page from creating additional diologues.

I tried ticking the box but, unfortunately, this prevents the copy-to-all function in the website from working at all; it blocks the dialogue completely rather than defaulting to "yes, confirm" etc.

I'm just wondering how I can tinker around and make this work like it does in Chrome. It's a minor inconvenience but one I would like to optimize.

Thanks! -LDStrait//Chilperic Fanethegn

hello firefox heroes,

I am looking for a way to prevent disabling an addon.

The addon is secondary, but for the sake of completeness: it's about the web blocker LeechBlock.

It was intended as an alternative to the web blocker ColdTurkey, but unlike ColdTurkey, which does not work for Linux systems, there is no password protection to prevent disabling and/or uninstalling the addon. Thus, it is quite easy to get distracted even though you don't really want to.

does anyone know a solution?

Hi, The DM has an annoying popup that only appears on the sports page ( which is basically the only page I actually read, the rest of the comic I just skim ). I've searched the web for a solution but to no avail, hence my asking here. I have the popup blocker ticked, but this annoyance just keeps on.

cheers,

Eddie

Hello, I tried following methods online to disable private browsing however they don't seem to work (possibly due to being outdated?) and I was wondering if there is a way of disable private browsing in Ubuntu 22.04? I have added pictures to show what I implemented and it still allows private browsing.

Hi Folks, I recently downloaded and installed firefox-114.0.1 to replace the aging CentOS 7 package. Install went fine, browser seems to be working great. But now, every few minutes, I get a dialog box popping up titled "Unlock keyring" asking me to "Enter password to unlock"

Completely obnoxious - you can't ignore it. It steals focus from whatever you were doing. You can click somewhere else end get the mouse focus back, but the keyboard focus is stuck to the dialog until you close it.

I know that KDE has some sort of keyring feature, but I've never used it and I've tried to disable it in settings.

I think it must somehow be related to the firefox install, because I never had it happen until this install yesterday.

Suggestions? I'm about ready to revert to the prehistoric v78 Thanks

I get message when trying to connect to the WEB via Firefox. "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile".

How to close the running but not responding Firefox process ? To be able to connect to the web

Hello.

I wasn't able to find any RSS feeds to subscribe to in the known vulnerabilities sections, nor in the Mozilla Foundation security advisories pages. I'd like to subscribe in Thunderbird, if possible to them.

Is there a newsletter or other way to keep up-to-date with these advisories?

All 3 extensions that I use stopped working today: adblocker ultimate, scriptblocker ultimate, image video block. Add-ons manager says they're installed and enabled.

I don't know whether it's relevant, but a few days ago Firefox ignored all my settings and I had to reset them. It kept the history.

I have a 'site' that is just files on my hard drive.

I need to click an anchor link such as: <a href="file:///dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4">Store Your Files Here</a> and have Firefox open the folder dir4 with the systems file manager. ( In my case the file manager is Nautilus ) ( Ubuntu 20.04 )

I have seen this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work but it does not describe a scenario that uses the file:/// interface.

It also does not provide any information about how the files will be handled.

I can get the folder link to work currently , but it appears with the: 'Index of file///...' in a browser tab.

Obviously you can not use that for anything useful.

The main goal is to open the folder and be able to use the system file manager to include more content for the site without having to navigate to the folder manually. The folders I want to display are buried many levels down without the possibility of having descriptive names. I have ~121 pages/folders in this arrangement , and each one has content for each page. I would like to add a button on each of the 121 pages that will open each of the pages content folder.
