Recently got a new computer and most websites will not play videos. Youtube works, Netflix does not (Netflix Error F7701-1003), Reddit video player does not, https://www.pexels.com/videos/ doers not.

I have tried troubleshooting mode, reinstalling firefox, have made sure it is up to date, cleared cache, and I'm not using any addons.

These videos work in Edge so I don't think it's my drivers (checked that they are up to date).

Access Denied on some shopping sites, only with Firefox

"You don't have permission to access "http://www.vitacost.com/" on this server. Reference #18.2a18df17.1666654394.409f377"

I DID see similar postings, but I didn't see where I could say "Me Too." So I'm posting separately.

This started in the past few days, the first with a website I've been using for 10 years. No problem with Chrome. I contacted their tech support. A couple of days later it worked okay till this morning (10/24/22). This evening it's off again -- after another software upgrade.

I'm now experiencing this with a second site, which I've also used for at least 10 years with no problems.

I read in a reply or two something about "profiles." I have no idea what this is or where to find them.

How do I remove a saved web address from Firefox 106?

I accidentally visited a bogus website instead of the legitimate UK Companies House website.

I should have gone to companieshouse.gov.uk but ended up at companieshouse.org.uk which is an escort site! (Yeah, no, it wasn't what I was looking for, OK?!)

But now I cannot get rid of the bogus address and it autofills every time I start typing "companies".

I have deleted it from History, but it still appears.

According to searches I've done, I should be able to go to tools/ settings/ privacy and security/ forms and autofill where I would be able to delete it, but Firefox 106.0.1 now only gives me the option to change saved credit card details.

So where do I find the location that this is saved so I can get rid of it.

PS No, I do *not* want to wipe all my history/ browsing data etc just to get rid of one fake address!

This green cursor does nothing, it just blinks, it's always there. I researched it, but while there were references to it, most replies misunderstood the issue. The cursor just sits there and blinks in the upper left. I only have a few add-ons, and all are recommended by Mozilla, no issues with them. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks.

How to prevent a single tab from closing (not the last tab in a window)?

Long ago, I would use Tab-Mix Plus but that functionality went away around FF57.

For most cases since then, Cntl-Shift-T works well.

But I found a use case where Cntl-Shift-T does not work. If one has an active form in progress in given tab, then opens another link on top of that, then closes the tab with Cntl-W or equivalent, then after the CS-T the form progress from the overlaid url is lost.

I use Cntl-W so freely that I can miss that I have accidentally closed tabs that I normally like to keep open. I sometimes don't notice till much later, too long for easy CS-T and I have to recreate from other resources. I have already removed the X-close buttons per tab.

Tab-Mix Plus would just prevent closing of protected tabs all-together and prevent both of these issues.

I have my own webapp framework, and my primary way to workaround this is use target=_blank liberally on local links. But that is an unnatural process in many ways with extra overhead of creating and destroying tabs rather that simply redirecting the current one.

Maybe there's another way around all of this?

I recently added the Firefox Private Browsing feature and I believe I made a mistake. Since then my computer often slows to a crawl and I have to restart it to get it to function normally. I wish to delete the Firefox Private Browsing feature to end any burden it may be on my computer. I do mean delete and not disable.

How can I remove the Firefox Private Browsing feature?

Sincerely,

Michael Brandt [email removed from public]

I set my browser theme to a customized green theme I made myself with firefox color, then I decided I wanted something different and installed a new theme from the addons page. It works until I close firefox, but if I open it again it changes back to the custom one I made? I can't find any settings that fix this and i don't want to delete the custom themes I made just to be able to use one of the addon themes I have saved.

Secure Connection Failed message when I try to go to known sites and when I access them in Chrome I have no issues I have already done the refresh and still have the issue. I doubt that this is an issue with the website I am trying to access. If you can't help me get this resolved it may be time to end my long time as a Firefox fan.

Hi!

I hardly use tabs, and I have a widescreen notebook. So one of the most important features a browser must have is not to waste vertical space.

Unfortunately, Firefefox still has always tab bar open even if there is only one tab.

There was a css code to overcome this problem. Unfortunately, it does not work with FF 106 anymore (another one stopped working with 103). It always shows a "+" sign and uses vertical space.

1. ) How can I get rid of the tab bar? Is there a working css code or is it a feature now of FF? 2.) BTW, also one of the most important addons for me "I don't care about cookies" is not working anymore 3.) How can I fully stop updates? They are causing far too many problems 4.) I already know that css and addons are not officially supported by Mozilla.
