Firefox Support Forum

I want to get rid of the useless error message at the top of my page you must log in to this network before you can assess the internet. Step by step please where do I look and how do I get rid of it. I've tried using the forums but its too vague about how to disable it.

Hi everyone,

I can't share my screen when using Google Meet on my Windows laptop. I've been trying to find the menu or options on Firefox with hope I can change it, but no where to be found. I've tried from screen sharing option on Google Meet, but it says "Firefox can not allow permanent access to your screen.".

Can anyone help? I can share my screen when using other application like Zoom, but now with Google Meet app. Here I have the screenshot.

Thank you!

If I use FF version 63 (64 bit) the particular site server blocks blocks access. If I use FF version 59 (32 bit) I can get access. I have used the site before (Q4 2018) for shopping. Is this a 32/64 bit problem or a version problem? Suggestions how to fix please.

After a new install on a new windows 10 computer I get the following error when I open Firefox A breakpoint has been reached (0x80000003) in the application at location 0x00007FF95BB874BB

Version 68.0.2

I suspect it has to do with my work environment. There is corporate management software, and I have to "run elevated" to do new installs or updates. Firefox is the only app that has had an issue with whatever they are doing. Chrome installs fine.

The IT team won't help since they say "we support Internet explorer"

In addition, I cannot update the version I have on my windows 7 and 10 machines that was installed before they added their monitoring software,

Again, this is a problem with compatibility with our corporate overlords environment that is messing up firefox. I'm hoping there are settings or logging options that will get to the cause.

I'm typing this on an old firefox (63.0.1) on a windows 7 machine.

Please don't tell me to reinstall, update video drivers, etc. Been through all that. We are talking a new installation on a new windows 10.

Thanks

Since a release of Firefox this year that caused a problem with Add-ons working, I have not been able to get Add-ons to work properly with the most recent versions of Firefox. There ar two problem areas. 1. Can't download Plug-ins. 2. When right clicking on plugin on the tool bar, the dropdown settings window does not stay open.

My solution has been to use version 63.0.3 and run the "Add-on fix for Firefox versions 61-65."  This works fine, but I'm not able to load newer versions and get them to work.

I have, multiple times:

1. Uninstalled all Firefox versions x64 and x32 bit, uninstalled "Mozilla Maintenance Service" and deleted all "Mozilla Firefox" named folders. 2. Deleted all [username]Appdata/ Local, Local low, and Roaming "Mozilla" folders as well as the "ProgramData/Mozilla folder. 3. Cleaned out the "Windows/Prefetch folder. 4. Added a new user to see if that account was affected as well. It was!

None of this has worked, and I have wondered if some certificate is hanging around that should be removed?

Thanks, Jim

Hi, I update my firefox 56.0 to 66.0 and later to firefox 68.0. And now I feel how my eyes tired! I see that colors is more contrast and fonts is more bright. Something changes in show settings and it is very bad for my eyes! Help me please, how can I fix it?

Problems started since Firefox update broke Firefox Plugins. Even complete removal of Firefox and updating to Firefox 67.0.4 did not fix the problem. (see below).

UPDATE FIXED:

Installing plugin fix @ <https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/fixed-certificate-issue-causing-add-ons-to-be-disabled-or-fail-to-install/39047> fixed the problem even though installing latest version of Firefox did not.

I spent literally 20 hours on this problem and was very close to using Chrome as my default browser (Ugg).

Firefox 67.0.4 (64-bit) Windows 10

When I left-click on the toolbar icon of extensions that use a drop down window, I briefly see the settings in that window and then window becomes an empty frame that stays until I click outside the frame. Extensions that open their own tab are fine.

Disabling all plugins an then enabling one at a time does not help. Behavior is the same with a different user.

This problem started in the past week. Somewhere in that time frame I did install a 32 bit version of Firefox.

I have 'Refreshed Firefox' Reinstalled Java Runtime. I have uninstalled Firefox, x64 & x32, deleted folders under "Program files" and "Program Files (x86)", removed Mozilla directories under AppData: Local, LocalLow, and Roaming, and reinstalled Firefox x64.....Still a problem

I would guess that I haven't cleared every Firefox setting out.

Any suggestions??

Thanks, Jim

Hi.

I was looking how to restore the old ctrl+tab behavior and found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1241201#answer-1174594 . This answered my first half of the question.

However, I do find the new ctrl+tab behavior useful, however not as a replacement of the old behavior, but as an additional feature.

Is there any way I can have ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab behave in the old way, while binding a custom keybinding to the new recently used order tab behavior? (say, e.g. binding it to win+tab)

Hello, since I updated to Firefox 63.0.3, my extensions have constantly stopped working every time I restart Firefox, resulting in me having to delete my extensions files to reset the extensions registry. How can I stop my extensions registry getting corrupted?

In Chrome if I want to do either of the following:

1. Click link on a page using Ctrl+Left mouse click or 2. Click a bookmark using ctrl+left mouse click

The link opens in a background tab without leaving the page I am on or closing the bookmark menu.

This does not happen in FF and no key combinations I have researched or tried will duplicate this action which Chrome allows.

Since going back to FF it is hands down the best browser there is - however I am finding my inability to open the tabs in the background like I could in Chrome to be frustrating.

Any help to achieve this would be great.

I am using WIn10 FF 6301 (64)

Thanks in advance.

OK, so I am developing and add-on for Firefox, the plugin works fine now , however we need that the plugin does not close when the users interact with the page, or at least that it don't delete the information that was typed into the form of the plugin.

Is there a way to do this?

Trying to change my Firefox Account (Sync) password. From https://accounts.firefox.com/settings?service=sync&context=fx_desktop_v3&entrypoint=preferences It keeps highlighting in red: "It is not in the public database of 50,000 most common leaked passwords". The list is shown in mozilla.github.io/application-services/docs/accounts/50000-most-common-passwords.html My password is not in there. Even if I type some extra random characters to extend the password, it keeps rejecting it.

WHY do you have to make the pages white!@ eg: the options and addons ,bookmarks pages! and not let me change them like i used to with stylish. why cant you just add a night mode and stop the damage to my EYES! also where is this option and how can i use it! https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/07/dark-theme-darkening-better-theming-for-firefox-quantum/

I just discovered that Firefox mac 63.0.3 shares cookie jars between private windows. This *cannot* be. Who is in charge of this software? Let's talk about "private" and what that word means. What a terrific and terrible oversight in the age of privacy. Please remove the language "Private" from the app. It's criminally misleading.

Whenever i try to enter my gmail account it is descibed as corrupted cannot enter. I don't know why this is happening nor do i know how to fix it. Can you help?

Using FF 63.0.3 (64-bit)

Last few days Spell Checker hasn't worked on any pages. "As you type" selected & both English dictionaries available. Tried both English (United Kingdom) [en-gb] and English [en] Sites such as Facebook etc auto correct works fine when using Opera (for example) but I prefer FF

My master synced desktop computer crashed. I finally got it working again. In the meantime, I logged into sync on a new iphone and none of my bookmarks from the master synced device showed up (probably because it was down). I have an ipad that has all those bookmarks from the master synced computer. How do I make the ipad the mast synced device, keeping all the bookmarks currently on it?

I have tried numerous times to download the newest version of Firefox. It appears to download OK but when I close it and then open again it still asks to download the newest version. When I look at the download history it shows a constant "patch apply failed" message.
