Firefox Support Forum

Plese could somebody explain why the google sign still in my search box after installing firefox? I thought I could bypass using google once firefox was installed.

cześć, Posiadam OS Big Sur Mac Mini i mam pytanie, dlaczego na tym komputerze nie działa zapamiętywanie otwartych kart (przywracanie sesji)? Zaznaczyłam w opcjach: przywracanie poprzednich sesji, ale to nie działa. Nie rozumiem tego. Jak miałam Windowsa, to nigdy nie było z tym problemu. A pracuje przy kilkudziesięciu otwartych kartach i nie wyobrażam sobie, żebym miała je za każdym razem otwierać pojedynczo... Z jednej grupy wsparcia Apple dostałam informacje, że Mac ma swoją przeglądarkę: Safarii i żebym jej zaczęłam używać. Ale ja nie chcę innej przeglądarki. Mam za dużo zapamiętanych kart, żeby je przenosić i nie chcę uczyć się kolejnej aplikacji. Dodatkowo powiedziano mi, że Mac nie lubi innych oprogramowań niż swoje. Idąc tym torem, nie można by używać Photoshopa, Adobe PDF, i wiele wiele innych aplikacji, bo Mac ich nie wyprodukował... To jakiś absurd! Proszę o pomoc, jak otwierać przeglądarkę z kartami z poprzedniej sesji?

Suddenly my right click mouse button doesn't work with dropdown boxes (so for example above when I needed to select the topic I had to use my arrow key) .The choices, or different logins pop up for a second but I can't select one. This happened suddenly last week. Only in firefox and it's pretty annoying. What has been changed? thanks

All of a sudden when I hit the ctrl key my screen starts zooming in like mad. this is without pressing + or minus or touching my mouse. Means I'm not longer able to use control C or Control V for copy and paste, and it's driving me mad. Any help?

stop changing my default search engine. I set it to google for a reason and want it to stay as google not yahoo. I've seen this issue before in the forums and they say to remove any add ons. I dont have any add ons. I use a Mac.

Windows 10, 64 bit. Firefox ver 87 For the past several days I have not been able to sign into my online banking at Scotiabank. When I enter my user name and password I immediately get an error message "Sorry, we couldn't complete your request". At the top it says "something went wrong" and the message comes from the Scotiabank site saying "generic-error". I've tried refreshing Firefox, removing all cache and cookies. Have tried restarting the computer. I note that Firefox appears to have updated itself on April 3rd and that appears to be when the problem started...could be just coincidental. Other web sites appear fine. I can use Microsoft Edge to log in to Scotiabank just fine as well, but I prefer Firefox. Anyone have thoughts on this? Thanks

Hello All,

I am looking for a method to change my standard black main background in Firefox. In the older version, you could choose Color Pic option and upload an image. That option is gone. So if anyone knows the solution for this problem I would be very grateful! Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Rubax

P.S. I use the latest version of Firefox (87.0) and Windows 10 Pro

Hi,

After losing my session history and bookmarks from using firefox's "forget last 5 minutes" feature on accident, I used shadowcopyview to create a backup of my old profile. Now, after two reinstalls, I still cannot recover my session or bookmarks, even when replacing the old profile entirely.

JeffersonCher's wonderful scrounger has helped me to recover from a similiar blunder in the past, but this time, attempting to recover the session from a recovery file gave me 3 websites I haven't visited in 2 years and an error message when attempting to recover the bookmarks.

Anything you can provide would be a big help: I am very confused on how to really proceed.

Thanks!

My brother accidentally deleted my Firefox files permanently and now I want to uninstall my Firefox but it says, my windows cannot find my files for Mozilla Firefox uninstall helper.exe. Is there a way I can do to uninstall my Firefox?

Attempted to sign into our Spectrum account using our primary browser, Firefox. The UName and PWord are correct. When Sign In is chosen Spectrum looks like it is trying to sign in but after a few seconds we get the message "We're sorry, something didn't work quite right. Please try again. IDID-1060". BTW, I have no problem signing in using Safari, which is not the browser I use very often.

I removed the Spectrum cookies, site data and save logins from Firefox. Then I restarted Firefox (newest version available) and still could not log into Spectrum. I then went to the Firefox Help menu and chose Troubleshooting Information. In the list of three things to do on the right side I did not need to "Give Firefox a tune up", did not "Try Safe Mode" but did "Try clearing the startup cache". This message came up "Restart Firefox to clear startup cache. This will not change your settings or remove extensions you’ve added to Firefox." I chose restart. After the restart I could sign into Spectrum. I signed out of Spectrum and tried again to sign in, I could not do so. I repeated clearing the startup cache and signing in worked again.

Is there an explanation for this issue? Is there a fix?

Hello,

I'm am sick and tired of updating my options in FireFox. I click the 3 horizontal lines to right of the browser, go into options, update all, no option to SAVE what i selected. If then I close out FireFox, I have to reset everything! Please give me some real help!

The configuration on page General - Connection Settings is set to Use System Proxy Settings. How can I find out I which proxy my Firefox browser is actually using?

Note: This very question has already been asked at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1208062. It has an answer which is marked as Chosen Solution although the question owner explicitly stated it doesn't answer the question, and indeed it doesn't because it just says to look at the configuration page which doesn't contain the information. That thread has been archived. Perhaps it should be deleted or at least the Chosen Solution mark removed.

This has been happening a lot using fire fox also my email yahoo keeps going off line at times I get a notice that says internet disconnected. but when use another browser this dose not happen getting a little fed up with fire fox.

Clicking a link in email from my insurance company always yields error 404, file not found. Saw notes from 2017 about removing all data about a domain but can not find a way to do that in current version. Clicked link today, 4/6/2021, got error "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" This has been happening for a long time. I have cleared cookies and all data, removed & reinstalled Firefox, still same issue.

Dear Mozilla Team,

I use Firefox as my default browser. MS Teams gives a failure message: "Your browser doesn't support audio". I have to use a phone for audio communication. How to correct this failure?

I realise that Firefox uses up a lot of Memory (particularly as it tries to run each Tab separately). However, my Firefox seems to keep increasing its usage!

I can start with a number of Tabs open & (after refreshing each Tab - to ensure it is "lice" & "active") I will get (according to Windows Task Manager) about 1,300MB in use.

Without opening up any more Tabs & without trying to run any Web-Based Videos, over a period of a few hours it will increase & increase & increase - perhaps getting up to 4,000MB!

I've cross checked with "about:performance" (to open FF's own Task Manager), to show the individual Tab usage, & that NEVER totals up to anywhere near the figures shown by the Windows Task Manager!!

Obviously, my FF is fully up to date!

Any comments!

This all started after last firefox upgrade/update a few weeks ago so installed gmail chrome which works fine.
