Firefox Support Forum

Youtube page is showing blank thumbnails for me. Facing webpage rendering issue for some other websites also. This is happening for last 1-2 months. I am not using any extensions. Have an add-on for flash. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling firefox, opening in safe mode. No solution. See the attached image.

Thanks, Anirban

...until I get here. All i wanted to do was respond "I also had that problem" and say "that solution did not work for me". I try to log in. fail. look for way to register. nonexistent. If I could have simply reported a problem, I would have at least had some satisfaction. I could have just let it pass. Instead, I'm lost. hopeless Why do you do this?

What led me here? When I launch Firefox, it sometimes tries to restore a previous session. I looked up help for how to turn that off. The one article I found was not helpful.

So, please provide a link to register. So that I can respond to the questions your site directs me to. Because if they aren't helpful we users need to point out why.

Hey guys,

previously I could customize the interface of FF via userchrome.css. I used to have less space between the bookmarks on the tab to the left. An update way back (53 I think) changed it to what it is today, which is why I needed the userchrome.css edits. Those dont work since the new update of FF. Is this a known bug or don't the codelines do anything anymore?

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); /* Tighten up bookmark tree in Fx25 */ .sidebar-placesTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row, .placesTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row { height: 1.3em !important; border-width: 1px !important; }

This is what I used to keep the space between the bookmarks on the classic level. I attatched a ScreenShot on how it should NOT look like, but does look like since v63.

Trying to access my regular online banking site with Firefox 63 and when I try signing in like I normally do I get a redirect to the attached tab.

I have cleared my cache and cookies to no avail. I have tried logging in with IE and all works fine.

What am I missing here?

When I open my router in a browser, I get the insecure-connection warning before the site connects. I want to get rid of that warning for the router; after all, it's internal to my network, and I browse through a private VPN. I know how to get rid of the insecure-connection warning for all sites, through about:config, but I don't know how to teach the browser that this particular site (192.168.1.1) is secure.

Can someone teach me (a very difficult task) how to teach the browser (probably a very simple task) about that one site? Thanks very much.

I've tried and tried with this browser from turning off hardware acceleration and so on, Quantum V63 for Win 8.1 is a slow wreck to operate. I can type quicker than it takes to download.What have you lot done to make things worse when it was working better before ? Loading webpages now takes more than double long as the previous ff version. Can I revert to V62 i.e previous one before the update ?

Tried safe mode , disabled add-ons, and so on. It should have to be this way. Any suggestions ?

Hi.

In Firefox 63 the option to never check for updates was removed. The release notes suggest to create a policies.json to disable updates. This does not result in similar behaviour! It does indeed stop the checks for updates, but it also disables the option of manually checking for updates. So this is not the same!

I'd like to know how I can disable the auto checking for updates, but keep the option to manually check and update.

I found this thread regarding a beta version of Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1232918 but that does not give an answer to my question.

I typically check for updates every few days, but I do not want Firefox to check automatically and/or install without my express permission. I seem to be left with renaming the policies file every time I want to check for updates. Cumbersome and very user unfriendly.

I would like to get back to the behaviour I have used for many years. To wit: I click on 'About Firefox' and I can see the version number without any checks or updates starting without my consent. I am presented with a button to check for updates. If I click it, I am presented with either a message stating I am up to date, or an option to update without it automatically doing so. And only if I then click to confirm that I indeed want to update, it starts downloading said update and installing it. This is what I want back please. How do I make that happen? Thanks.

I turned off autoplay in about:config but after today's update to 63.0 all videos are autoplaying. Has Firefox been paid by advertisers to force autoplay videos down our throat no matter what? Why is this browser so awful now?

I've been helping my 88-year-old father with his PC. He has Windows 7, Firefox 63, and I'm trying to get it to stop updating because every time it does, it resets things - lately it's been asking him for his Firefox password, but he doesn't use any server-based Firefox features, so it's only causing confusion. He does NOT need to log onto Firefox sync.

While I was fixing his settings, I noticed he had his home page set to Facebook, whereas previously, I had set it to the Firefox default for him ("New Tab" still uses the default Firefox page). When I clicked on the dropdown to change from "Custom URLs", nothing dropped down, and I was unable to change the home page. Eventually, I reset all of his settings to default and restarted. Then he told me he actually did want Facebook for his home page, and now I couldn't set it back - clicking on the dropdown to change from "Default", again, nothing dropped down. I googled and found another way to change the home page by dragging a tab to the house icon on the page, and that worked, but I do not understand why I am not able to change the home page setting using the options page.

Note: I have been fiddling with adding a policies.json file to try to prevent unwanted prompts for Firefox sync password and unwanted prompts for updating the browser. On the thought that that might have been causing a problem, I removed the line that disables update checks, but that didn't make any difference.

In some sites, I can't use arrow keys or pgup pgdown to scroll or f5 to refresh, which is very annoying. Disabling javascript does make the keys work again but breaks the sites. Is there a way to block the javascript thing that mess with the keys or force the browser standard key behaviour?

When I log off a web site, the next time I open up Firefox, it goes right back to the site that I had logged off from. Also, the most viewed sites, I can't get that. I had it, but I can't find it. Help, please.

This last update lost my passwords and most used websites. I tried contacting firefox but my login doesn't work. I went to my account and was signed in and changed my password for firefox and got the email saying I changed mt password and it still won't login for firefox support. I did the sync but no help.

Firefox 62.0.3 (64-bit)

Horizontal Firefox message on top of screen:

"Add [Website name] [(website url)] as an application for mailto links?" with an "Add Application" button on the right side.

What are mailto links? What is involved?

I tried researching this ("mailto") but still wasn't sure I understood it.

Let's assume that I'm going to find in my history articles about Facebook, but not published on that service. What should I type in history search field? If I type facebook -facebook.com or facebook -"facebook.com" (in search engines sign "-" means that the world behind it shouldn't appear in search results), it displays nothing.

When i start up firefoxbrowser, i only get an adress. But doesnt work. Rest of the screen is blank. No browser start. firefox doesnt do anything. no search, no error message, nothing. Have re-installed latest version of firefox, same result.

please reply thank you

Of all browsers I have tried, only Firefox replaces 'style="height:164px;" with "style="height:0px;". '

The code is

<li style="padding: 0px 10px 10px 10px; margin-top: 25px;margin-bottom: 10px;position: relative;display: inline-block;"><img src="https://indelight.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photography_trans_full.png" style="height: 164px; width: auto; background-color: rgb(52, 226, 224);" ratio="4x4"></li>

However in Firefox this is replaced with

<li style="padding: 0px 10px 10px 10px; margin-top: 25px;margin-bottom: 10px;position: relative;display: inline-block;"><img src="https://indelight.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/onlinesales_trans_full.png" style="height: 0px; width: auto; background-color: rgb(227, 114, 49);" ratio="4x4"></li>

This is not happening in other browsers.
