118.0.1 Browser On Windows Does Not Allow Log On to Centurlylink.net Email

Works just fine on Edge. I think you broke something folks!

wondered if anyonme can help.

Firefox keeps automatically changing my search engine from google, to bing. My defualt engine is goole, i have deleted bing, but everytime i type anything in the search bar, it goes to google, and then quickly changes to bing. I cant even copy and paste a google search from chrome, as it just changed that to bing too!!

I have tried everything and nothing works.... i hate bing and do not want to use it, so why is firefox forcing me too?? PLEASE HELP!!

Get pop-up (or whatever you wish to call it) while browsing. No way of clearing it.

It does not show in Task Manager. Closed all the Google (first name) processes no change.

Screen shot attached.

Went into firefox help then closed help tab and then original tab OK.

I have observed this bug only in Disqus, but another Disqus user has seen it in other web sites viewed via Firefox, so maybe you could check your logic. Here is the original bug:

When entering a Disqus comment [or possibly other text boxes] and using the Enter key to end the first paragraph, the text typed so far is erased. It can be recovered by immediately pressing Ctrl+Z (Undo), but this is not obvious; most users will think they just lost that text, and will retype it. This was sporadic for a year or two, but right now (morning of 10/2/2023) it seems to happen on every comment I type. In the past, it only occurred on the FIRST Enter key, at least if I recovered via Undo. The only contact I have with Disqus is in the comments on an episode of the Kevin and Kell webcomic (https://kevinandkell.com). I am running Windows 10 on a Bootcamp'ed Mac, and my browser is the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.

Disqus user FreedomFighter replied:

That is a common problem unique to Firefox. When you hit enter and the post erases, right click in the box and click on "Undo" to get the text back, then you can do what you need to do whether is type more words, or post the comment.

[His recovery is essentially the same as mine, only using the mouse rather than the keyboard.]

Could this be an interaction between Firefox and Disqus? I have not personally seen this on any other website via Firefox, but FreedomFighter apparently has seen it elsewhere.

Good Morning,

I am curious. When searching through backup in the bookmark section. Firefox keeps a list of backups in Crtl+Shift O.

In the restore file, under restore and backup, it shows ( 959 bytes - 11 items).

The 11 items what are those exactly?

When deleting browser history, nothing in the number changes. I am just wanting to make sure that the 11 items are in fact "Book Mark" related and not browser history related. My partner is accusing me of deleting "Items" or clearing my browser history. Since she can't see 11 items in there she assumes I deleted things or used a private browser...

About three days ago, the dropdown lists for various websites I use stopped populating unless I use the backspace. So, for instance, if I want to find "John", nothing happens if I just start to type it in. But if I type in "Jo" and then backspace, John pops up. (Perhaps important: Even though I have now deleted the "o", only John pops up, not names beginning with J but followed by a different letter.) Curiously, it seems like the first time each day that I go onto any given website, the dropdown does populate properly, but just that once. I checked Edge and Chrome, and the dropdowns work fine there, so it's definitely a Firefox problem. Any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix it? Thanks.

I switched from chrome to firefox like 2 days ago. Everything went good, but every time i go to youtube it does not remember my login. I have to click the login button and use my phone to confirm the login. Afterwards i get send to an error page only saying "something went wrong". If i click the login button again it suddenly works and i can use my youtube like i used to on Chrome. I use my google account for youtube. Every other login works just fine Reddit, Disney+, Twitch, Prime. I Cleared all my cookies and history and even reinstalled Firefox. only youtube still has this problem. I even added the youtube and google login page to the saved logins. Does someone can offer any help ?

When I open FIrefox it opens briefly maximized, then reverts to minimized, then returns to maximized. I'd like it to open maximized, period.

When I close my sessions there is only a maximized window open. There are no minimized windows open.

How to do I change this behavior?

Hello,

Recently Firefox tends to start autoplaying a YouTube video if I am on the tab.

Before it would not play the video if i am on the tab unless I physically press play.

It still works if I open a YouTube video in a tab that is not active, it will not autoplay, but as soon as I hover over and click on that tab it will start playing, however I do not want this to happen, I want it to pretty much always be autoplay blocked regardless if tab is active or not and I want to physically press play in order for it to start.

How to revert it to that state?

My block audio and video setting in firefox is already turned on, not sure what to do, pretty sure I did nothing on my end.

Right now I have to use extension called "disable autoplay" just to get by.

Thanks guys!

"Why does Firefox on my Windows 10 PC consistently load 'https://onlinebinoculars.com/' much slower compared to other websites, causing delays in accessing important information about binoculars and optics?"

I know the answer to this is probably going to be along the lines of this is not possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway since none of the information is entirely clear. Or answers my exact question.

I have one desktop install of firefox and I have two android ones. I have all three synced to one firefox account, so it's easy to grab links I saved while wiki diving on something. While this works perfectly for the desktop side of things, the mobile side is where the issue arises.

Currently all my bookmarks from both mobile firefox accounts are merged into one long set, regardless of device. While the desktop ones have their own folder. Is there a way to keep the bookmarks from each device in their own separate folder? Like say instead of having one big mobile bookmarks folder, having one named DeviceX, and the other DeviceY?

It's still semi functional on desktop where I have more screen real estate and have to deliberately go to the mobile bookmarks folder, but on the phones it can be confusing when a set of bookmarks from device 1 mixes randomly into those of device 2. As it can become a lot harder to keep track of things.

Now I know one can turn off syncing of bookmarks. This is not what I'm looking for as I do still want to be able to share them between all three devices. Just have them more organised.

I also know one can make different accounts for say work or personal, but again I want them all to sync, just not mix them into one list.

So in short is there a way to be able to have two android devices into a threeway sync and keep the bookmarks separate? Or is my only option the round abound way of making subfolders and hope I remember to save in those?

Thanks either way.

For Windows version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 If using Firefox Version 113.0.1 (64-bit) in Windows 10 and in the following state:

 Firefox is open and window is maximized.
 Firefox Full Screen is toggled OFF.
 Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled ON.

Then the Windows taskbar will not display when the cursor is place at the bottom of the monitor screen. If the Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled OFF. Then the Windows taskbar will also not display. Changing the ON/OFF state of any other Windows taskbar display setting in any combination does not fix the failure.

I have screenshots of the error I receive when logged into the website. The support staff from LawofSelfDefense.com says everything on their side says I should be receiving audio and video. I have checked DuckDuckGo privacy settings and they indicate that their product is not blocking anything from the website.

I used MS Edge this morning to stream a live episode and it works! I do not want to access these streams using any MS products/software. Something in Firefox is preventing me from Live video and Chat activity on the site. What can I send you to help me fix this problem?

I do know know if you even understand what i am trying to say here but ill try my best lets say i am in Facebook on Firefox and i am typing something. Sometimes when i an typing a pink bar comes up at the bottom left of the screen? not sure if it Firefox or windows but sem to come up only in Firefox. Recently comes up a lot

I can log into mozilla and edge browser on this pc. I can log into mozilla on Android app. I CANNOT LOG INTO MOZILLA ON THE MOZILLA BROWSER ON PC.

I have changed my password multiple times and had to use 2 backup codes all to install google authentification app on my phone. I cannot do this from my edge browser. I also have tried multiple times to install the vpn but that hasn't been successful either.

Mozilla needs a video tutorial on how to do this successfully especially when you don't have a QR code. Im just glad that i saved my backup codes.

I have a new laptop. I want to load up my account but because my password is wrong, I can't. What can I do? When I try to change my password, I'm told it's the wrong password.
