Firefox Community Forum

YouTube does some kind of picture in picture thing when I'm watching a video and navigate to a different page on YT.

Is there a way in Firefox to disable/prevent this behavior? If not, is there some other way to disable/prevent this behavior?

(In Firefox settings, I have "Enable picture-in-picture video controls" unchecked. But I think that is referring to something else.)

Whenever I try to sign into any Google site whether it is Gmail, Google, Youtube. or even signing into a site with a google account like Pinterest I get sent to the google help page taking about clearing cache & cookies. Even from there when i click sign in it just refreshes the page never actually taking me to the sign in page.

Dear Pocket Community, I have a strange and confusing problem, and would be very grateful if somebody would answer this.

I have an account with Pocket, across 3 different devices.

1. I have a laptop. 2. I have an Android mobile phone. 3. I also use my Pocket account in local libraries.

Regarding the first 2 points, I can get into my account fairly easily. However, whenever I try to login to my account on the local library, I get a Captcha to solve. I solve it, then am presented with another Captcha. This carries on ad-infinitum. I do not know why this happens?

I am on FF 129.0.1 on Windows 10 laptop. I download financial data from several sources using the .qfx format which is fed into personal finance software (Moneydance). Everything works well and download history shows all downloads from banks, but does not include downloads from my brokerage. Is this something the brokerage is doing or some setting that I can control. Thanks for any help in explaining this.

If you add a proxy (manual) to firefox, you can also put in exemption for which domains the proxy should not be used. And from the examples that are shown, you might think it is also possible to add ip-address-range like 192.168.1.0/24. But this does not really work. Even when your servers are in the network 192.168.1.0/24, the proxy still we be used. It is only working if you add your domain e.g. .mydomain.local.

Latest update (10/2/24) is impossible to use. How can I get back the prior version for Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 on my Macbook Air?

I have a TBI that really limits my ability to process information. The tabs now have a dropdown that is very confusing and gets in the way of my working. I have to shut Firefox and leave the computer, but of course when I am recovered from the confusion, I come back to the same situation.

I was able to find a way to stop the even-more-frustrating dropdown video preview, but it's not enough.

I have relied on FF for years, but it seem that putting more bells & whistles is more important than providing a functional browser interface. Please explain to me in plain English how to remove the overloaded browser and revert to a version I can utlize without a breakdown.

I want to sequester Address Bar Function in the main address area for web address or native locations, from search function contained inside of the window, the search should be only a web search, but I think that part is covered in standard settings, so address. Thanks Much

You can fix the software problem without requiring a system restore to do so. It only is happening with Firefox, not other browsers. The website display in some coding format, which I don't know how to use.

Up to 126.0b9, files with encoded URLs in their filenames downloaded normally. As of 127 onward, however, it gets changed to _3A instead of %3A, etc. Is there a setting somewhere in config to revert this?

Example:

Supposed to be: test [sound=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2Fe547nk.mp3].png Downloads as: test [sound=https_3A_2F_2Ffiles.catbox.moe_2Fe547nk.mp3].png

I chose to use Firefox a few months ago after starting to have problems with Chrome. At first it was great, no problems. Then just the other day, it showed it was doing a software update. OK, no big problem right. I thought. This morning I tried to go into a favorite web sit. It is were I get my main news from also, but this time I got a message showing that Cloudflare was blocking the channel, then said it was an error but to try back later. It just kept doing this. What is up with this. I won't accept this. I want this cloudflare disabled. You say it is your software for protecting your software. If I want my computer protected, I'll make the decision as to how it is protected. I want cloudflare removed or I'll find another web browser.

Hello,

I recently switched from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I’m having trouble with how PDFs are handled. When I click on a link for a PDF, I see the PDF symbol indicating it can be opened or downloaded based on my preferences. However, I want PDFs to download directly without opening when I click a download button, similar to Chrome’s default behavior.

In Chrome, if I click a link to view a PDF, it opens in the browser. But if I click a download button, it downloads without opening. I’d like to achieve the same in Firefox: view PDFs when I click a link but download them directly when I click a download button.

Thank you for your help!

Websites won't load. I had max protection and DNS enabled, it worked, then one day it stopped and I got an error that they couldn't resolve the DNS connection. So then I moved it back to Standard protection, and now sites load intermittently. Facebook loaded fine an hour ago, now it says "We can’t connect to the server at www.facebook.com." I have no extensions, not connected to a VPN right now, have tried restarting, and other browsers work fine.
