WHY is it that every time I try to search for something in Firefox it takes me to Wikipedia? I cannot use Firefox any longer for searches. Everything I try to do ends up as a Wikipedia issue. I cannot escape it, I can't delete it, I can't do anything with Firefox any longer.

WHY is it that every time I try to search for something in Firefox it takes me to Wikipedia? I cannot use Firefox any longer for searches without everything going to Wikipedia. I cannot find any way to escape that page or get rid of it. This started about a month ago. I'm fed up!

Hello, One of my customers reported the following message when attempting to view an email in FF browser:

“Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to go.planmember.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

We haven't seen any reports from IE, Chrome or Safari.

Any clues as to why?

I installed firefox and am trying to open the Vegas World sign in app and it's doing nothing in the tab, it will not come up. I'm so confused and technically challenged

Firefox stopped working on my laptop after I uninstalled office365. I have reinstalled office, but firefox still not working. It is working on my phone and an old laptop. What are my options? Nothing happens wen I click on the 3 bars, history, settings, etc. Need help, thanks.

Since the days of Go Corp.'s PenPoint and Windows for Pen Computing, I have been accustomed to select text by just dragging the stylus --- that no longer works --- for some reason the stylus has now been dumbed down to be an 11th touch input which scrolls.

Why?

How can I get back the far more expressive behavour of drag-select text with a stylus and using touch when I wish to scroll?

As an FYI, I handed a stylus and my Samsung Galaxy Book 12 (running Windows Build 1703 which predates this change) to a technician at the local Best Buy and they had no problem selecting text --- when I challenged them to select text on a Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 running Windows 11 using the stylus they were unable to to.

Could we please have an option to restore the traditional behaviour?

The fix suggested at:

https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1353578

isn't directly available in Windows 11, and the equivalent setting:

Settings | Bluetooth & Devices | Pen & Windows Ink | Additional Pen Settings | Let me use my pen as a mouse when it's available

doesn't seem to work when it is enabled.

Recently converted to Firefox.

I routinely receive images from one sender that has a banner that renders two to three times the screen width no matter the screen size.

This issue doesn't occur on the Gmail Mobile app only while viewing Gmail on Firefox (The issue is not resident in Chrome).

way to limit the size of embedded / inline images when logged into gmail on Firefox?

Articles of a news site has sometimes link to an embedded Instagram item. These items are now blocked. When I use Edge and click on the link on the page 'Adjust your cookie settings' a javascript:Didomi.preferences.show() it show a pop-up where I can change the settings. But the pop-up to allow certain cookies for this site does not work in Firefox (v111.0.1).

Why is DuckDuckGo not your default search engine? You seem to be concerned about privacy and security. So why is a more secure search engine not your default upon installation?

Hi, using firefox for a long time. 2-3 days ago FF started to start slow. If I open FF, it shows me FF GUI without any icons and after 3-5 seconds it starts completely.

Tried to disable all extensions (bitwarden, ublock, easy screenshot, feedbro), same result. Tried to clear cache, cookies, history - same result. At the end I made a reset of firefox via menu, same result. FF is latest version.

See screenshot - this is what I see after start firefox (for about 3-5 seconds) Any idea / fix please?

Hello! I'm trying to login on the developer hub, and it asks me to set up the 2FA, i follow the instructions, setting up the key that it gives me

After that I do verify the code and it success, but it is stuck on saying "Two-step authentication enabled" and it does not do anything

I try again to press the button, it times me out so I wait 15 minutes, after that it says again it has been enabled, but I does don't do anything else.

If I reload the page I start from 0 with another code, and same behavior.

When using Google authenticator the code is wrong both entering the code and scanning the qr.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hello people,

Lately, I've been having the problem with bookmars.

When I want to save my favourite pages to specific folders I created for different areas, I always used the method where you click in panel with www address e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/, the whole address is now selected and I drag that addres to specific folder of mine. When placed, the bookmark was saved to that folder, but in addition to that, Mozila browser also fetched bookmark title with title of the page.

So after drag-and-dropping the link https://support.mozilla.org/ I ended up with bookmark in my folder, that looked like this: "Get Support | Mozilla Support"

Now when I do the same procedure, I just copy the link addres itself. So it ends up like this: "https://support.mozilla.org"

You get the idea. )Where did the feature of fetching titles dissapear? Can it be returned back?

I've been using bookmarks this way (drag-and-drop by mouse to specific folder) since I can remember. And this problem occured just week ago. It helps me to speed up my process faster than using the star icon. And now I dont even know what I saved when I look at my folder and try to make sence of it the next day, because everything I can see is link addresses.

I tried it on many computers and many diferent systems Win10 11 etc and I still get the same problem. I tried it with reinstalling Firefox, with deafult settings, in normal or inkognito mode. Nothing works.

Any help? Can this be fixed?

Best regars, J

I have Adblocker Ultimate as an add-on. But I can't seem to put it in my toolbar. I have searched the internet to resolve this problem and nothing worked. It is listed in my Add-ons manager but I can't get it to show up in any bookmarks or the toolbar. It does work but I can't find it anywhere.
