I have always had this option with Chrome and other browsers. But I can't find this feature in the latest version of FF.

I want to disable images on specific websites, not all websites. I examined my address bar and there's no option there at all when I'm the specific site I want to block images and/or media.

I am running Firefox 116.0.2 on a Apple M2 Pro Mac 2023.

Apparently there is some support of passkeys but it doesn't seem to work.

Steps: 1. Visit https://www.passkeys.io/ 2. Do the demo, filling in the fields, until you reach the "Save a passkey" prompt. 3. Click "Save a passkey".

You will see "Touch your security key to continue with www.passkeys.io". I touch the Touch ID sensor, nothing happens. Kinda confused. Am I doing it right? Does Firefox even support passkeys.

What shall I do? I would love to use this feature but I am not sure how it is supposed to work

I went to about:config and set my privacy.globalprivacycontrol values to all True. Yet, when I go https://globalprivacycontrol.org/, the website states that the GPC signal is not detected. Is any other action required? I am using Firefox v16.0.2 on a Mac computer running Ventura 13.5.

Screenshots attahced for websites, hepsiburada.com and temu.com Strangely, both are shopping websites.

Many Thanks in advance.

As you can see from the screenshot I don't have the new tab button (+), I've seen other users had the same problem in the past and the solution was restoring it from the customization page, but I can't find it there neither.

Some of the scripts are not loading or working properly, like clicking boxes and notifications on some sites. Most recently this happened on the New Statesman website, I doubt they haven't optimized their site for Firefox. Previously I encountered this on Gerogetown University's Management System platform, which according to IT should be fine with Firefox. I removed all the extensions, cleared the cache and cookies, tried troubleshooting mode, even reinstalled Firefox to no avail. I accept all cookies. Settings are default. The issue is specific to Firefox, Edge works fine. Please help, I don't want to migrate back to Edge.

How to keep my login cookies but have a setting set so if/when I open and then close a tab its cookies are deleted

I have seen the setting to delete cookies when I close tabs and tried it.

It causes more problems than it solves.

I may be doing something wrong though.

Scenario: (bigger picture - longer story) I have a lot of windows and tabs open. I am logged into a lot of places.

I am looking for how I can open new windows/tabs and when I close THEM THEIR cookies are deleted. NOT the ones from other windows/tabs.

Selecting the `delete cookies when I close tabs` works, but each time I load Firefox I have to log back into a lot of things. So - to me - that isn't doing what I want.

I will accept that cookies I have. I want any NEW ONES I get from windows/tabs I open to be deleted when I close those windows.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Why does viewing a stock quote chart in Google/finance hang the tab?

when I view a stock quote in Google Finance If I move my Windows cursor into the price chart and move the chart cursor to a new date or time the tab will hang. I can no longer move the chart cursor. Reloading the tab will no longer work. I have to delete the tab and then use History to reload it. There is no problem as long as I keep the Windows cursor out of the stock chart area.

I have several tabs with stock data from Google Finance open at the same time. For example. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/TSLA:NASDAQ https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AAPL:NASDAQ https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MSFT:NASDAQ

I am running Windows 11 up to date and Firefox 116.02. This has been a problem for a long time.

I went into setting and made sure spellcheck is enabled and it is, but there are no other options there. I did exactly what it said on your help article and right clicked in the text box on multiple different web pages and there is NO OPTION. It should not be this complicated.

No way to bypass out of date security certificate?

Trying to browse to a website that I know is safe, but it's an old site and it looks like the security certificate is expired. I'm getting:

"Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to jeconais.fanficauthors.net. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

jeconais.fanficauthors.net has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

I cannot find a way to bypass this or turn this off. Why is there no option to do this (when there has been in previous versions)?
