Firefox Community Forum

The Bookmarks toolbar changed after yesterday's firefox update: The toolbar as you can see from the below screen grab, shows blanks with the original title, but URLs have disappeared and are neither editable or useable i.e. cannot be deleted. Google, the BBC link and the one for my central heating have gone! Not only on my workstation but also on a brand new Dell notebook. Please advise me a.s.a.p. or notify me and probably others . Thank you

Firefox will not start up after latest update earlier this week. Troubleshoot mode or refresh does not work either. Clearing caches, restarting does not work either. Worked great before latest update.

particular link below always shows error 224003

I am running Firefox for Mac and after the recent update to v134.0, links or texts pasted in Yahoo web mail are all placed at the TOP of the message rather than where the cursor points..this never occurred prior to the update so its clearly a bug that needs to be corrected.

Why would some of my pages be appearing in Polish? Apparently I did have an privacy issue about a week ago but changed my password and since then I mostly have to change the language from Polish to English each time I open Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I have been building websites on and off for many years using Notepad++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. During development and maintenance, I heavily use Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition on the computer where I build the sites (both editions are affected). I also have many notes on an offline website.

Recently, the links in these offline websites no longer work in Firefox. They function as usual in Microsoft Edge and the newly installed Vivaldi 7. They also work on an old laptop with an older version of Firefox. I think the issue was introduced in one of the recent updates. Could you please look into this? Otherwise, I cannot use Firefox as an offline browser and the developers add-ons on my laptop anymore.

Kind regards, Martijn de Jong

I sent this message to Mozilla support in Dutch and would like to send an English translation as well.

Do you have a solution for this issue?

Using Firefox version 134 (64bit). When I click "Bookmarks / Manage Bookmarks, the listing defaults to the "Other Bookmarks" folder. I would like it to default to the "Bookmarks Menu" folder. How do I make it do that? Note: In 2023, I used a fix submitted by cor-el that modified autoconfig.js and autoconfig.cfg and worked very well, however in Firefox v 134, it no longer works

Hello,

on some websites firefox does add one space in front and after copied text. This does not happen with Safari or Chrome:

Example: If you try to copy the movie title you can reproduce the problem: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/212989-lego-ninjago-dragons-rising

Firefox: " LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023) "

Chrome & Safari: "LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023)"

This happens on Windows and MacOS. I did not test Linux or other systems. Firefox Version was 134.0 ARM for MacOS and 133.0.3 64-Bit on windows.

Help!

Can you add a configuration setting to Mozilla Firefox to disable Create New Profile, configurable in the policies.json file? (A second option but a much uglier one would be to disable being able to select a file location for a new profile. Then you could make the default profile directory write only, which would also accomplish the same thing.) (A third option would be to able to configure extensions by default upon installation in the ExtensionSettings policy.)

To explain, I use LeechblockNG on Firefox on Ubuntu. Very helpful. By placing a policies.json file (see at bottom) in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory, I can create a system wide policy. I can make the LeechblockNG extension mandatory and to be installed upon every new profile creation. That all works very well. HOWEVER, there is NO way to be able to set those options in the new profile. So LeechblockNG is installed with default options (which are no blocking at all), which effectively bypasses the addon.

I am also writing the author of the leechblock extension to see if there is any way to set the options for leechblock upon installation (the third option above).

But I know other people have this same question, and at present, if I am correct, there is no way to block new profile creation, or the Profile Manager window in Firefox.

So could you please add that option to the Firefox policies.json configuration? Something like "DisableNewProfiles": true would do it.

Thanks!

My current policies.json file in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory: { "policies": { "BlockAboutConfig": true, "BlockAboutProfiles": true, "PrivateBrowsingModeAvailability": 1, "DisableSafeMode": true, "ExtensionSettings":{ "*": { "installation_mode": "blocked", "blocked_install_message": "Prohibited install more extensions." }, "leechblockng@proginosko.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4374316/leechblock_ng-1.6.6.xpi" } } } }

Firefox (on one of my Windows computers) has begun hanging up during loading of video articles (such as news services, CNN, CBC, etc.). If I refresh page the video article will occasionally load. Often not. Have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Did not help. Have another Windows laptop and there is no problem loading video content on that device. In addition occasionally Firefox will hang up just loading an assortment of websites, though this does not occur with the regularity of the non-load of individual video news articles. Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

Hi, I'm using FF for year for development and had several problems with cached data in this time. Now, since the last update (automatic update yesterday), Firefox is caching my js for localhost and ignores nearly everything to stop it.

F5 and Ctrl+F5: no effect Enabling "Disable cache" in devtools: no effect changed about:config (no effect): browser.cache.disk.capacity 0 browser.cache.disk.enable false browser.cache.memory.enable false devtools.cache.disabled true

Only going to settings > privacy + security > Clear Data helps. But as you can imagine, that's really bad DX

I tried a FF-addon for clearing css cache, but it's outdated and doesn't work.

Is there anything I can do, to disable cache for localhost?

I don't understand why this aggressive caching problem is ignored for years and gets worse every year! Why are settings like "Disable cache" in devtools so broken? I tested other browsers and have not found the same issues. I don't want to switch browsers! I just want a cache free localhost! FF can cache the sh*t out of every webpage. But please leave localhost out of it!

bold text One of my vitally important issues synce my cell and PC tried to sync is that my Malwarebyte Premium went haywire and I began getting alerts from Firefox, saying "my files" got access to (something),,, and asked me if it was I who generated that. I guess the answer is yes.

I've contacted Malwarebytes Support, and their SYSTEM robotically tell me I have succeeded in logging in. But I am UNABLE TO ACTIVATE MY PREMIUM (PAID UP MONTHS FROM NOW... to get my info needed to activte my account.

Additional info: At, or about, the same day all these issues started, I clicked on the Malwarebytes account option to have Malwarebytes apply their BROWSER PROTECTION APP. i'm not certain of anything. Am asking YOU if YOU can diagnose.

MORE additional info: In early hours of trying to solve all these issues, I received lots of alerts saying to the effect that this-or-that app is being treated as a suspected security threat and, if it is NOT to click on a box to not post this alert any longer. I clicked that box EACH TIME. (SIGNIFICANTLY) SOME OF THE APPS TREATED AS SUSPICIOUS WERE APPS OF MALWAREBYTES ITSELF...

I SURMISE SOME OR ALL THESE ISSUES ARE BEING CAUSED BY CONFLICTS BETWEEN SOME COMBINATION of the above... but maybe just some two of them.

MORE INFO: A month or so ago I BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER (THE CURRENT ONE). AND, when I first contacted Malwarebytes about all this, their SYSTEM notified me I had signed in to them from an UNKNOWN SOURCE.

MORE INFO: I looked at the specific EXTENSIONS in my firefox browser, so see which to DELETE, to see if I can then resolve all (or whatver one or whatever MIX) BY THAT MEANS.

MORE INFO: I tried removing the firefox app and then re-downloading it... but this may have been when I ended up with two copies of firefox.

There are more details, and guesses, as to what my resolve all these POSSIBLY RELATED CONFLICTS. But my brain has been turned to mush by seeking what to try in hopes of resolving -- then trying the solutions offered to me, NONE OF WHICH HAS WORKED.

The Firefox browser is BY FAR my choice of all (due to all the disconcerting ads and news and other bloatware all the others flood me with if I use them.

PLEASE BE AWARE that, when I seek support, or get steps as to what ROBOTS (including AI) all want me to tell them what my issue (S I N G U L A R) is... And I cannot get even live support techs to take into account that I do not have ONE support issue... but AT LEAST TWO CONFLICTING THINGS... which is what makes the steps to solve one of them independently DO NOT SUCCEED.

If I had a clue of what you could do oter than turn time backwards, I would be happy to suggest it...how a bout tell me what I must do--other than closing the app and then opening it--??? I haven't been this pissed at a computer for DECADES!!!
