I believe this issue started today. When I print using the Firefox dialog box, all of the printed pages are in color even though the color mode is set to Black and White. I have not changed any of my printer setting and have been using the same printer for many years. The printer is an HP Officejet Pro 8600. I have Firefox version 116.0.3 which was just updated today to that version. When I use another browser (Google Chrome) the pages are printed in Black & Whte. Therefore this appears to be a Firefox issue. I am using Windows 10 64 bit. How can this problem be corrected so that the pages will print in Black & White when I use the Firefox diaglog box? Thanks.

Hi,

I was a former IT person for decades and used Firefox because I love it. But lately, it isn't usable for me. Seemingly happened out of nowhere within the past few weeks.

I tried all the troubleshooting steps in the guides on your support forum, but nothing worked. So I tried the following:

1. Uninstalled Firefox using Windows Uninstaller 2. Deleted every single Mozilla folder from within the user profile to the program files folders, local roaming folders, etc. - EVERYTHING. 3. Went into the Windows Registry and also deleted Mozilla folders within the local machine and current user folders. 4. Rebooted computer 5. Went to Getfirefox.com and reinstalled Firefox. 6. Logged into a brand spanking new Firefox installation

Still SLOW as molasses. Frustrating. I can't work. It is literally 4x slower than any other browser now. I use Firefox for 90% of my web stuff, the other browsers 10% of the time for testing. But as it goes now, I cannot use Firefox anymore after decades of using it.

Anything else I can try? Maybe I missed something when I scrubbed it and reinstalled? Why suddenly is it this slow? Any ideas?

I will try next to log into a different Windows profile I guess and see if that improves it. Maybe my Windows profile is jacked up, although, I thought removing all Mozilla folders from within my Windows profile would be enough, so I am not so sure that will fix it. I will try though.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

I've always been able to copy & paste text from other places to Whatsapp Web in Firefox Desktop computer before. But starting today, it's not working. It only works when I copy & paste text from Whatsapp Web inside but not from other software like MS office or Slack. It's very frustrating! I wonder if it has something to do with the newest Firefox update. Please fix asap!

I did something to my settings before, and I am not sure what, but now I have a very very very limited space for how much stuff I can put on my firefox toolbar at the top as far as add ons, and extensions. When I try to download an app, it is difficult to access the add on because it can only be accessed sometimes, by the little puzzle piece icon next to the add ons on the toolbar, some of the apps are automatically in use no matter if they are on the toolbar, puzzle piece icon or not, but some seem to not be accessible at all other than opening up the settings for all of your extensions, which makes things so hard and slow. I will post a picture of what I mean.

I have been using Firefox as my default browser in Windows for a number of years without problems until recently. However I now find that, when I log on to sites where I have accounts, I am not automatically signed in. When I select sign in I am taken to a sign-in page where, on some accounts, , my usernames and passwords are already filled in. I have tried following Firefox guidelines with regard to settings and options, all to no avail. Can you assist me please.

Hello,

On newest updated Firefox 116.0.3 (64-bit), Windows 10 Home 10.0.19045. WhatsApp Web has also been updated to latest version. This morning, Web WhatsApp has lost the ability to Copy & Paste - cannot paste anything into the WhatsApp window or chats in Firefox, either from Firefox or from other apps such as Notepad.

WhatsApp Web C&P works perfectly in Chrome as of now. Please look into this.

Reddit Thread with reports on the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsapp/comments/wk1uiz/cant_copy_and_paste_from_m365_into_whatsapp_web/jwjiv47/

Thanks!

I followed your suggestion to increase security and installed a primary password. My Samsung computer has apassword storage as well. the first time I used the properly verified primary password, it worked fine to get into my gmail. Now, when I want to open my gmail, a window asking for my primary password pops up, but repeatedly asks for the password and does not let me in. It blocks the Google pop up that also wants to verify it is me. I have removed the primary password in order to be able to use my computer!

Whenever I click a link to track a UPS package or even manually enter the info on their website, I get an error message stating "We are unable to complete your tracking request at this time. Please try again later." That only happens with Firefox and no other browsers. I've tried to disable pop-up blockers with the same result. Any ideas of other things I could try? Thanks.
