Firefox Community Forum

Duck Duck Go search from the address bar suddenly does not work. All queries return a page with the search box and no results. Google search functions correctly. Additionally, the search function on Yahoo Finance no longer functions. Both of these websites and functions work on a mobile version of Firefox connected to the same wifi. At first I had no idea what was causing it but after using troubleshooting mode and turning on extensions one at a time it turns out that metamask was causing the error.

Here are the dpkg/apt logs for update:

2025-03-19 12:33:16 configure firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 <none> 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status unpacked firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status half-configured firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status installed firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1

The problem is that when I tried opening gmail in my ubuntu, it is stuck at loading page, but other browsers like edge can open it without any problem (on the same system).

I tried every thing I can in the support forum of gmail/mozilla/others, but it's still stuck at loading.

That's all.

I'd like to install the latest version of Firefox without overwriting or disabling my existing installed version.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks

How do I disable the signature verification for addons I downloaded myself and have used quite successfully for years with no problems until this new idiot rollout of settings I for some reason cannot disable? Do I just roll back to the last version or do I have to make changes in the config or is there a way to just delete entire requirement?

I used to have an occasional sound problem with FF, usually felt when YT clips could not be heard any more. I mean to remember that it could be fixed (until next time) by restarting the file explorer somewhere in Task Manager - not a convincing solution but one I could live with.

Today, there's a new situation. Again, trigger was the missing YT sound in FF - not in fx Edge, and that the Task Manager trick didn't work (or maybe I restarted the file manager in the wrong tab?). Looking for a solution, I happened to see that the YT mute function in the FF tabs seems to be gone. However, other sounds are affected likewise. Also, I can't see them in Edge either. After various restarts (or maybe something else I did, instigated by the various instructions I found?), the sound is back.

However, while continuing to pursue possible solutions, I also happened to find that my browser is being 'administered by my organisation' - what ever that means (see two annexes). Who did that? I would say, this is not something I did, I would prefer to see it gone. But how? Will the other browsers (which I keep as a spare, and that I'm hardly familiar with) be likewise affected?

This is an equation with too many unknowns for my limited knowledge, are such effects known? Would there be an approved way-out for it?

PS I have checked https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1412934 especially the message posted by lazizakhmedov1014, and do not see this to apply to me - short of a reinstall - FYI

I have been using Linkman for over 15 years and have a very large collection of bookmarks. Is there anyway to enable it? I'd hate abandon Firebox as I do need this extension please help.

Thanks

Thought only Ubuntu's Linux Firefox 136.0 was 'unstable' on my Gateway E-475M laptop - crashes, restores session then freezes only to log me out, then completely locking up requiring holding down power button and rebooting...

Now, even Firefox 136.0 on WIN7 is crashing, then restores session only to go to the 'blue screen of death' requiring holding down the power button and rebooting...

Evidently, the problem is not with Ubuntu or WIN7, but either: Firefox (Linux or win version); or, the Gateway E-475M laptop (2.0GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 8Gb swapfile, Harddrive at 61% usage, Linux/Win on separate booting partitions, LAN + usb & pci wifi's, etc.) - both OS's used to work fine, but as upgrades to Firefox have come along, they have steadily gotten more and more unstable...

Sometime, I'm only making a bookmark, and it starts this circus act... does it on differing websites, etc. Firefox is the only thing loaded - using two windows on two different monitors ...at a loss as to what to do - Firefox is supposed to be THE lightest-weight browser out there, and was for awhile... the only extension used on both systems is "NoScript" - could that be causing the disturbance in the force?!?

A website I have been using had allowed you to reject any other cookies besides operational cookies. Now they want you to accept all cookies or the accept cookie banner won't be removed from the website. The site no longer gives you any options. I understand that the operational cookies need to remain but is there a way to delete the specific advertising and 3rd party cookies for this site.
