Firefox Community Forum

Hello Mozilla Support Team,

Since one of the last updates firefox Download Setting seems not work properly...

Into Settings > Files and Applications > Downlods > Save files to option is ALWAYS on, even when "Aways ask you where to save files" option box is checked. When I open a PDF in view mode with Firefox, it automatically download it to the location described into "Save Files to"..in my case Desktop. It seems that the "Save Files to" option doesn't gray out when "Always ask..." option box is checked.

Do you have any idea why I can't chose just one of the two options?

Thanks for you help...

Alex

P.S. Attached screenshot...

I have run across some sites - well, pages on sites - which seem to stall and lockup my entire laptop requir8ng a restart and quick kill of the page when I then restart FF. I want to be able to simply block such pages or, the domain where such page resides. I can see things like blocking tracking but nothing on specific dom8ns or urls.

I have a problem where after restoring session in FF it makes me unable to drag and move tabs around at all. I tried to start FF in safe mode to see if it was one of the extensions causing it, but that didn't stop it. I noticed that the last time this happened not that long ago it sorted itself out after a while and i regained the ability to move tabs around again, although i still don't know how/why it got sorted out the first time. So i hope someone here could maybe help me a bit.

I am using windows 7 (with the latest update i believe) and updated FF to the latest available version.

I'm trying to export my saved login data. When I select export data, a popup opens asking for my Firefox password. After entering the password, it indicates the password is not correct. I've reset the password with the same response.

Please informed that I used Firefox Nightly on my PC with windows10 and it suddenly stopped working and it does not Update. Please help to get it back as it was my defaults browser. Thank You Edmond January [email removed from public]

Reinstalled Firefox after a computer upgrade and now I'm stuck with a disconnected account and a sync loop. I login and it shows login confirmed but I look in the top right corner where you access your account and it shows that it's disconnected. On top of that, I backed up all of my tabs, favorites and passwords but I don't have the ability to import it from the back up. I'm only given the options to import from another browser. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

A few days ago, after a Firefox Update (I think), I discovered that my Homepage and default search engine had been changed from Google.co.uk to Google.com.

Now every time I open Firefox I have to search manually for Google.co.uk before I can search for anything else. Google.com does not work if I enter anything else in the search box.

I've been going round in circles trying to work out how to change it back again, but nothing I've tried has worked.

Help!

I have recently added the extension Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express. It does not appear on the toolbar. I've looked and tried what was onthe support pages and nothing helps.

Is this an extension that should appear on the toolbar. I am not using private browsing. If it can be on the toolbar, how do I get the thing on it you use? Just a bit frustrated.

Thanks, Irv

I'm developing a PHP Symfony based website powered by nginx-full 1.18.0-6ubuntu14.4, one of the functions is to allow people to download a PDF invoice.

When it fails Firefox shows an alert "Downloading (Failed) The browser application closed unexpectedly."

On my linux desktop; when I use Chromium 114.0.5735.198 this functions works 100% of the time. when I use Firefox 114.0.2 (64-bit) the PDF download only works ONCE after that the download never completes and I'm left with a partial/corrupted 75.7KiB file named filename.Br-neZWO.pdf.part etc.

I have discovered that if I clear the firefox cache I can perform one successful download again. or I can restart Nginx and again Firefox will perform one successful download again.

I've tried altering many Nginx settings, cache, gzip, sendfile etc with no effect. It might be Nginx related but it does not effect Chrome at all which is why I've started this ticket.

Any help in debugging this would be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon, hi admin, regarding the latest update, please for the printer settings for landscape and portrait to be displayed on the right as before and permanently for the choice of portrait and landscape settings. because we are constrained by the print settings for PDF, we have to go to the printer settings all the time. please help for the next update. thank you for your concern.

Firefox 114.0, Windows 11 Home Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621 , 1Password-4.6.2.626 extension

Today, for reasons unknown, my 1Password extension, (an old and non-updatable version that I've used for many, many years), is non-responsive. The icon still resides in the Tool Bar, Windows ToolTips "sees" it as "1Password", but clicking on the icon has no effect. The extension is shown as Enabled in Firefox's Manage Your Extensions page.

I think I've tried all the "usual" things here: rebooted the computer, uninstalled and re-installed the extension and rebooting, checked the setting in 1Password itself to see that it's associated with "Mozilla Firefox 114.0", (the program still opens fine outside the browser).

This seems to be related to Firefox 114.0. On my other computer with the same Windows 11 version but using Firefox 113.0.1 had no problem with 1Password, but as soon as Firefox updated to 114.0 the same problem with 1Password appeared.

Anything that I might be able to do to get 1Password working?

I have noticed since my upgrade to the current version of Firefox that there seems to be a glitch or two in regards to when I hit clear all history. This normally would clear the list of recently bookmarked sites. However since upgrading to version 114.0.1, this does not occur as it used to, meaning it's taking up memory, as the recently bookmarked sites from the previous session remain even when I shut down the browser for the night when shutting down my laptop. I have also noticed that the browser will still ask me if I want to restore a previous session even after hitting clear history and shutting down the browser. These were never issues in versions prior to 114 so far as I can tell. Can anyone explain what's happening here and how these can be fixed?

Two issues:

1. History is truncated, does not show all history even though Custom Settings set to remember. One google post said to 'delete all history upon closure' ... There are many, many posts from users having same issue.

2. Whatever history is being recorded is no longer simply a list (Ctrl-H) but is sorted into Today, Last Week etc. which is both annoying and makes searching for previously located site impossible unless you know WHEN you visited (unlikely).

Why was the changed? And why don't you change it back so when I select History, Show All History from task bar, Firefox would do just that?

Right I have tried 2 things one making a Junction link, symbolic link and install directly to the N drive a SSD instead of having Firefox installed on the C drive.

Everything else is moved to the N drive using Junction and I mean everything Firefox related.

But for some reason the second Firefox is either installed, Junction or non junction symbolic link to that N drive does Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ act up.

Amazon Prime first it simply won't play videos just keep giving a error message. Disney+ the same as amazon prime.-

Netflix however goes even further, not only does it constantly log me out yes you read it log me out it also fails to play videos either because I was logged out or because internet issues or Firefox is not supported errors.

Either way 100% nothing works on those 3 sites, yet everything else works YouTube, BBC, ITV and more everything else works perfect.

Now the second I install Firefox back on C drive remember only the actual Firefox installation is on the C rest is still linked to the N drive and now magically Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ works perfectly as they should.

Anyone got a idea of why this happens or can cause this?

Hi - I've tried your solution many times and even thought Firefox says the import from Edge was successful, I don't see any imported bookmarks where you say they should be.

Steps: - Type anything into address bar (or navigate to a webpage) - Select any text in address bar - Copy the text (either with Ctrl+C or right-click menu) - Try to paste in any app besides Firefox

Expected behavior: - The copied text will paste

Outcome: - No text is pasted - No new entry is shown in the KDE clipboard

Any link on any webpage that I try to copy also exhibits this behavior. However, if I just select normal text on a webpage and copy it, everything works as intended. Maybe there's an issue with copying things that Firefox labels as "links"?
