Firefox Community Forum

I have a 'site' that is just files on my hard drive.

I need to click an anchor link such as: <a href="file:///dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4">Store Your Files Here</a> and have Firefox open the folder dir4 with the systems file manager. ( In my case the file manager is Nautilus ) ( Ubuntu 20.04 )

I have seen this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work but it does not describe a scenario that uses the file:/// interface.

It also does not provide any information about how the files will be handled.

I can get the folder link to work currently , but it appears with the: 'Index of file///...' in a browser tab.

Obviously you can not use that for anything useful.

The main goal is to open the folder and be able to use the system file manager to include more content for the site without having to navigate to the folder manually. The folders I want to display are buried many levels down without the possibility of having descriptive names. I have ~121 pages/folders in this arrangement , and each one has content for each page. I would like to add a button on each of the 121 pages that will open each of the pages content folder.

'bold text' YOUR STUPID BOX TO UPDATE FIREFOX WON'T GO AWAY AND BLOCKS MY PAGE ON UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER...HOW DO YOU TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS "HITTING DISMISS ONLY MAKES IT KEEP COMING BACK WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO WORK"???

Hey there, I was using one of my macs today and it suddenly started updating. It was taking ages and seemingly stalled, so I closed the app.

Now, all our bookmarks and history is gone. Also, the now updated version is not showing my new history etc.

Is there any way to retrieve our original bookmarks, history and passwords?

Regards Peter

DO NOT LET THE NEW ESR UPDATE BE ALLOWED ON YOUR DESKTOP..............CAUSES SITES TO CRASH. AND FOR MY NEEDS FORCED GOING TO A PRIVATE WINDOW TO DO ANY BUSINESS ON WEBSITES.............THIS UPDATE IS BEING FORCE FED TO THE GENERAL USER AND NOT KEPT IN THE ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT BELONGS...................I HAD TO RELOAD AND RE-SYNC TO VERSION 114 AFTER INSTALLING VER 115.1.

I'm getting this message:

when I try to connect to my Xfinity email. Can't imagine what happened to the authenticity.

See reddit post— no way I'm typing all that again! Reddit Post It's not that long, trust me— it's just that the code is long... I've attached a slightly different screenshot to the one I posted on the reddit post, but it makes no difference if you see one or the other, or both!

In summary, I've added a css code to my userChrome.css thingy to move the tabs below the search bar. I was also wondering what the best way to transfer my userChrome.css file + about:config settings over to a new version of Firefox. Due to not being admin of my laptop (I'm running it out of the .dmg file— besides, I always like to keep an older version of Firefox as a fallback), I have to install a whole new version of Firefox onto my laptop to update.

Thanks!

I have tried updating Firefox a number of times to 115.0.3 and each time I have had to roll my PC back to a pre-update state because I get a warning from MS Defender that I have a Trojan. What do I do in order to update the program without this very disconcerting warning?

Thanks in advance.

This issue has plagued me ever since I switched for Firefox. I have NEVER encountered this issue with any other browser. Once every week or two I will encounter a page with an MP3/MP4 file and will be presented with this error. I have already tried clearing cache, disabling addons, reloading, etc, but I guarantee the "best answer" will just be some rehashing of these steps. Something is fundamentally broken with this browser, and there are hundreds of people across various sites reporting it. Fix it.

For the past two months, I've been trying to sync Firefox (114.1.1) on my Samsung Galaxy phone (SM-N950U) with Firefox browser (114.0.1) on my Windows 11 Home laptop. On the phone, it works fine. On the browser, when I go to firefox.com/pair ... I get to the screen with the bar code, when I scan that bar code on my phone, the windows Firefox browser gives me an Error 500 (see attached.) Your help is appreciated!

Yahoo websites blocked from within the US. I get the following message: "When trying to access my yahoo mail account from within the US I get the following message: Yahoo’s suite of services will no longer be accessible from mainland China." Any thoughts on what is happening and how to correct it? I'm in the US using the Mozilla VPN with a US server location

Could someone from this amazing community go in and update it?

Hello,

after porting my SSD Arch installation from my old Laptop to a desktop PC, i have a really long startup time (about 30s-45s) for the first time after booting my PC. This problem doesn't occur with any other programs. The subsequent openings of firefox happen instant.

Have tried using "refresh" functionality to clean up firefox so my about:config is as clean as it gets, didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --no-remote", didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --safe-mode", didn't help. Have tried starting it with a completely fresh profile, didn't help. Tried purging it from the system and reinstalling it, didn't help. Same problem when I start it normally via dmenu/rofi.

I don't get any stdout log on any of these methods of starting.

I also don't know where to look for helpful log files.

Any help or hints on where to trace this fault are much appreciated.

Have a nice day :)

It seems Firefox is getting worse and worse. I am now back to pages loading very slowly. My IT guys say firefox is [redacted] and go to chrome or something else but i hate transferring bookmarks. WHY can't you stabilize your [redacted] browser. Yours is the only browser my PC runs into trouble with. Makes me [redacted] furious.

This is infuriating. I have hundreds of Pocket saves, and a couple dozen Pocket tags. They did not/do not migrate when I do what Firefox tells me to do: log in with my Firefox account.

How does one get their saved Pocket articles to show up after being logged in with my Firefox account?

DIRECTLY after 114.0.1 update, I get a CONSTANT UNENDING PROMPT telling me all about firefox , ON EACH AND EVERY SEARCH, I am here to find out how to remove this intentionally annoying, "thing" from MY PC(of course Mozilla couldn't be bothered to tell us they were installing a continuous advertisement for google, and FORCE installing it as search engine). I want this endless advertisement removed, post haste.

Hello all! Thank you for reading this. I will attempt to be concise. All download attempts from firefox fail regardless of file type. I have done all of theses; https://www.guidingtech.com/fix-mozilla-firefox-downloads-failing-on-windows/ and I have done all of these; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

The facts Dell 7490 Laptop. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, version 22H2, OS build 19045.3086, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

Firefox version 114.0.2 64bit

Possible relevant information. I also encounter an error when starting Firefox that I cannot resolve. XUL Runtime error. I have attempted all the fixes here; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1398228

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love supporting Firefox but I"m not sure how much longer I can use it with this problem.

Thank you, Everyone!

What Search popup taskbar in Firefox? Like Clrt+F “find in page” is appear!. It’s a virus spam. Or what is it problem Bug?

Now Version 114 on Windows 11 64

When I print the keyboard to find in a box or typing wrong, then search popup taskbar in Firefox is appear! Why? it's like click the menu bar F10 button "edit" followed by "find in page".? What is it? According to the sample image. Sometimes there is a lot of code for writing a website! It is a virus spam. Or what is it?

There was a user asking this problem. Which is like my problem as follows

“Whenever using Firefox, I keep getting a pop-up box on the left side of the bottom of the browser which seems to search the webpage for whatever is in the box. This happens if the cursor is not exactly in a specific search box or designated area on the screen. I can reproduce the problem by clicking on the page (just the page, not a box or input area) then typing. It may be a function but has become so overwhelmingly annoying that I find it necessary to find a way to deactivate it. If I click something else like another window and don't click the mouse exactly on a specific search box or input area when I go back to the page, it inputs the text I am typing down in this box. I don't like this; I don't want this. Please help me rid the browser of this menace. I put an image of the problem below and circled the offensive box. Thanks for any help given. I did try to search for this issue to see if there was already a solution but could not find one, hence posting this question. I just found out this is the same box that pops up when you click the menu bar button "edit" followed by "find in page". Don't know why in the world this thing is popping up by itself when it is neither needed or desired.”

I use firefox More than 100 versions and no problem But my problem would be like above. Thank you for helping each other.

I use a public computer that resets itself every night. I want to login to my firefox account so I can receive all my settings, extensions, etc., when I login to sync.

However, when I login to sync, my default search provider remains as Google (the computer's default) and does not change to DuckDuckGo (the settings I previously had synced).

How do I set up sync so that when I login, it pulls all settings, etc., from the cloud, instead of keeping some that were configured locally?
