Firefox Support Forum

Firefox does not display custom fonts for any website online or webpage offline. This has been going on for months from update to update and I'm unable to fathom what could be wrong. I recently uninstalled the browser completely wiping out every folder or file that was remotely connected to Firefox and Mozilla. But on a clean reinstallation the problem persists. I'm using Windows 10 and I've had no font display issues with any other browser. To be honest, I've had font display issues with Firefox for years with any number of my own custom fonts refusing to display in it online and offline. I chalked it up as some corruption in those font files Firefox and no other browser was sensitive to. But this is something way beyond that. Any clues?

I just got an add-on called LMMS Music Studio. But every time I click on their icon I am taken to something else called "https://www.offidocs.com/edit-lmms.php?username=810908&fileurl=newfileoriginal" Any ideas?

Hello, I have a situation I cannot explain. Firefox has created over 47,000 bookmarks to the same location. This happens in multiple folders. One is just google. Another is a website I use for work. I delete them and they keep coming back.

I have sync turned off.

Any other ideas?

Hey, for a while now my firefox has been having a this problem, that I have not been able to fix. No matter when it is closed or opened, it opens random links that are usually very long and never load. I installed a plugin to at least somewhat block them but they keep poping up. It doesn't seem to be connected to any keys on my keyboard, since it opens at random times without me doing anything. I have no idea what the problem is and I have tried many things to fix this:

-Reinstalling firefox -Deleting all the cookies -Using the problem-fix-opinion in my settings to clear any keybinds that could be causing this

yet nothing seems to help.

I had 20 tabs open on one screen. I moved one tab off the the 2nd screen so I could see info between two pages at the same time. When I was done, I closed the browser with the 19 tabs so I was left with one tab browser on the 2nd screen. Unfortunately now I lost all 19 tabs because when I click restore Recently Closed Windows (tabs) the only thing that listed is the tab I already have open.

This has been an issue for a LONG time. I have to remember to close the temporary browser tab 1st then close the main browser with all the other tabs open LAST. I HATE that I lose everything if I don't close the split browser in that order.

I currently have two (2) issues:

1) When I go to settings it says “Your browser is being managed by your organisation”. Except this isn’t my work PC, so I should be seeing this type of prompt. When I’ve googled this, it appears to be AVAST anti-virus, and people suggest deleting the policy register. I’ve checked my registry and can’t find such a policy.

2) I’m getting issues logging into iCloud saying that Firefox doesn’t support physical security keys?

Thanks

Not secure website home accessible, but none of the pages under it. Unable to mark pages for not secure browsing. I marked the home site for not secure browsing OK. But no pages under it will open. There does not seem to be a way to tell the browser to ignore the security requirement for all pages in this website.

Last week, mid-day one day, videos on YouTube suddenly all had a warm cast --yellowish for color, cream/beige for B&W. I have researched the issue as I can. It is not my Windows night light; my drivers and PC are apparently all updated; everything is working fine. I checked to see if the same happened with Vimeo videos and it did. I'm running W10.

   Interestingly, the pop-up thumbnails one gets when hovering over the timeline as not affected; they look fine.
   One post by someone else was answered that it was a GPU driver issue; another said it's only with HD videos.
   I'm a B&W photographer and would really like to get back to normal again. 
   Any ideas?

Need some help with Firefox crashing. System: Windows 8.1 64 Bit instilled on a Samsung SSD, 24 GB free space, 24 Gigs RAM, Firefox installed on conventional HDD (G:\) drive, 1.03 TB free space. This has been the standing configuration for many years, working with no problems.

Problems began with FF update 111.0. Any attempt to download files (.jpg or .pdf) would cause the “save” button to freeze, and after a seconds FF would crash. If an attempt was made to change a setting FF would again crash so quickly it was impossible to attempt any changes. Oddly enough, FF update 111.0.1 fixed the issue (or so I thought) and things returned to normal. I assumed whatever caused the problem had been fixed.

Unfortunately, every update beyond 111.0.1 reverts back to the same freezing and crashing behavior. I have attempted the following with all updates above 111.0.1 in an effort to correct the issue. So far nothing has worked. BTW, Brave and Chrome work just fine.

Cleared out all cache and cookies. Changed download folder Opening in safe (trouble shooting) mode Clean install(s) Disabled hardware acceleration. Putting the entire program on C:\ drive (apparently the newer FF installer does not allow custom installations any more). Checked and updated all drivers

Currently I have disabled automatic updates as none of them have the same freeze/crash issue. I am out of ideas and would certainly be glad to get any advice. At this point Brave is going to be my new default browser. Yes, I know 8.1 is no longer supported but I am not in a position to replace this PC at the moment.

I want to attach a file and I click on a button (everything works perfectly on Chrome). When I click, in the console I get this error:

(firefox:3264): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:52:46.781: Can't open portal file chooser: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: L’interface « org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser » n’existe pas pour l’objet à l’emplacement /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

Of course, nothing happens when I click. I have Ubuntu 22.04 and apparently Firefox in installed with snap, and I have this problem since snap is used to install Firefox.

If it's useful:

This message is the last I'm writing before I definitely move to Chrome. I hope I'll get the help I couldn't find on other places (I saw a lot of answers telling to deactivate snap, adding a ppa or some solutions like these).

It seems like no matter what I do, I can't get Firefox to download files from Google Drive. It loads for a moment, then it says "The page isn’t redirecting properly". I have confirmed that it's only Firefox because I can download files from Google Drive with Google Chrome. I have disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection, selecting the Standard Enhanced Tracking Protection Setting, and even refreshing Firefox. Though, I noticed that it only works on incognito mode for whatever reason.

Whenever I try to download a file from google drive, I get: "The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to drive.google.com. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

Downloading google docs files from drive works fine, they convert to word and save to my downloads like normal. But downloading image files or pdfs yields this error. Right-clicking and downloading them from the folder view just does nothing. There is no difference between shared files and my own drive files. This error only happens in firefox, I can download files on microsoft edge just fine.

This has been happening for a few weeks now. Things I've tried:

-clearing cookies and cache -restarting firefox, restarting computer -checking for updates and updating firefox -disabling all my add-ons -clearing startup cache -adding drive.google.com and google.com to the exceptions for enhanced tracking protection -switching from standard to custom and unchecking cookies from the list of trackers and scripts to block, then clearing all cookies and cache -attempting to download in firefox troubleshoot mode -attempting to download in incognito mode -refreshing firefox -re-installing firefox by following the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1233618 -turned off real-time protection on computer antivirus (default for windows 10) -turned off microsoft defender firewall

I don't even know what else I can try. I assume it's a firefox error because this only happens using firefox on my laptop - I use firefox mobile and can download the same files on my phone. Does anyone have any advice?

I get a "Potential Security Risk" warning when trying to access a Spanish government website in order to download a digital signature (which is required for all interaction with government agencies, etc.) From what I've read, Firefox is blocking this site and there is no way to override this. Is that true? If this is the case, (although I have used Firefox forever) would it be advisable to switch to Chrome or some other browser? It is essential to be able to access this site. Thanks so much for help with this!

Hi there I love FireFox, after years of others recommending, I finally switched and really appreciate so many great features (automatic downloads not at all though). Anyways, I have a Tivo with in house and out of house streaming to Watch Tivo web app and Tivo android app. Until recently, was able to stream anything from Tivo Box throughout house. Android app works awesome, but no longer working on FireFox (or Edge & Chrome) Research shows this is due to a change in website security which is maybe similar to FF issue?

Chrome offered advance warning/remedy..as detailed below....

I am hoping FF team can rise to the challenge and get tivo online working again for the millions of us who still use and love our Tivos.  Or maybe another Tivo fan has a workaround they can share? I sure hope so, I have wasted hours already troubleshooting and hair pulling :(     Any and all assistance appreciated

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://(MYIP):49152/sysinfo/json/svcinfo' from origin 'http://online.tivo.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: The request client is not a secure context and the resource is in more-private address space `private`.

After researching that i found this link Chrome CORS error on request to localhost dev server from remote site

it went into a bit about how "Chrome has implemented CORS-RFC1918, which prevents public network resources from requesting private-network resources - unless the public-network resource is secure (HTTPS) and the private-network resource provides appropriate (yet-undefined) CORS headers."

So basically a public network "online.tivo.com" cannot access my local network (where my tivo is) due to this new CORS-RFC1918 standard.

The is a fix to disable this behavior for now chrome://flags/#block-insecure-private-network-requests
