Hello everyone!

On 10/3/24 Mozilla wrote in a KB: "Mozilla will provide security updates for Firefox 115 ESR until at least March 2025, when the position will be re-evaluated."

According to "https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware", over 7.5% of Firefox users are currently using Windows 7. Will Mozilla extend the end of support for 115 ESR again or will it end next month?

Thanks and regards, Martin

I am trying to access certain HTTPS websites and some of them show PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR in Firefox. This error is not present in Edge or Chromium.

Here's what I've tried (none of these works):

  • DNS over HTTPS turned off
  • Uninstall all add-ons
  • Reinstall Firefox
  • Create new profile and set it as default
  • Delete/rename certs.db in the Firefox profiles folder.

The only fix that works is to use Troubleshoot Mode every time I visit these websites which is not practical. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

I don't know if this is relevant but one of the websites that does not work is https://alexan.com.ph/

After updating FF to v. 136.0 in Linux Mint 22.04, I noticed a problem with video playback in Facebook in some posts. A black screen appears with the message "Sorry, there were problems playing this video". The problem also occurs after disabling all plugins and deleting the user.js file from the profile. The problem does not occur after starting firefox in troubleshoot mode, but then hardware acceleration using the GPU does not work (Compositing: WebRender (Software)). I noticed that in version 136 there were some significant changes in the topic of video decoding. https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/desktop-linux/1524008-firefox-136-beta-finally-enables-hardware-video-decoding-for-amd-gpus-on-linux-by-default I have an NVIDIA GT1030 GPU with 2 MB VRAM.

I save pictures from Facebook and X from mostly relatives. Right click>Save Image as. It defaults to "C:\Users\bradb\OneDrive\Desktop" no matter what I set as folder in Settings>Files and Applications. I don't use OneDrive and removed the App. That caused my desktop to have only one icon, the Recycle Bin. I cancelled sync. How do I get the default to be "C:\Users\bradb\Desktop".

    I really don't want to open File Explorer and work my way down to the OneDrive desktop folder every time to move the pictures to the proper storage folder on my NAS.

A few days ago I changed to a new computer.

On my old Windows 11 computer in Firefox I could sign in with my [edited] @gmail account to my Blogger blog, see the New Posts page, edit my posts, post new posts and see the sign out option.

But on my new Windows 11 computer in Firefox I can sign in with my [edited] @gmail account to my Blogger blog, see the New Posts page, but I can't edit my posts. I am signed in but Firefox doesn't show the sign out option.

Whereas on my new computer in Chrome I can sign in with my [edited] @gmail account to my Blogger blog, see the New Posts page, edit my posts, post new posts, and see the sign out option. As always.

In Firefox it says there is something wrong with my [edited] @gmail account and to refresh it or change to another account. I don't now how to refresh it and changing to another Gmail won't work. But it lets me in to my blog's New Posts page!

How can I in Firefox on my new computer edit my posts and see the sign out option, as before and as always in Chrome?

I am trying to get rid of old bookmarks.

I logged out of all my devices except my main PC, deleted many folders of unwanted bookmarks.

changed my password

on my other devices that were not connected to sync, I deleted all bookmarks completely.

I only wanted what was on my main PC that I worked so hard on.

now tonight on my PC all the old bookmarks are back again.

this page doesn't make any sense, there is no option to "Delete data from this device" when I sign out.

I have Firefox's New Tab set as my home page, since I'm choosing to divorce myself from political doomscrolling for the next four years. The New Tab page is perfect for having frequently visited sites at the top, Pocket stories I can curate in the middle, and what used to be a history of articles and sites I've read most recently in "Recent Activity" along the bottom. Within the last few days, "Recent Activity" has been blank, and will no longer keep track of articles I've recently read. I've tried clearing the browser history and cookies, and it came back for a moment, but quickly went back to being blank. And the major downside to clearing the browser is that my four rows of most frequently visited sites gets wiped clean also, and I have to spend time getting them back on the list. I do not have Firefox set to automatically clear history upon closing it. I've tried turning "Recent Activity" off and on with the page's Settings (cog in the bottom right corner). I'd really like to have this back, as it can help me find recently read content (especially Pocket content) easier than wading through the History log. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I dislike the Group Tabs feature. So many times I've accidentally created a Group Tab and then had to figure out how to un-group them.

I've tried to change the value of the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" preference to false, but it doesn't stick; after restarting, the value is always back to "true".

What’s up with this?

Thanks, Andre’a

I don't understand your philosophy of preventing someone from danger. If I am trying to log into my local router and your product says "no, its not secure" I am faced with at least two problems: First I am denied access to my equipment; and secondly, I am prevented from having control of my own decision-making as poor as it might be. It is especially annoying that your explanations are empty and vacuous, jargon-filled and full of misdirection, sending me into a world of data, not information, with the prospect of spending too much time on things I don't want to know. That seems more Microsoft than Mozilla. That is Mozilla as a consumer product, not Mozilla as an IT technologist.

Why can't you simply say we think its safer for you for us to block your request, but if you insist, do this. But beware, these are the possible consequences.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at ad.doubleclick.net.

If you entered the right address, you can:
