I already occasionally run into sites that don't behave well with Firefox, forcing me to use another browser in some cases.

Will enabling these settings tend to contribute to exacerbating the problems?

I use the Department of Veteran Affairs for my health care. They set us a system that works well for me to get care appointments, order medications and send messages, and called it MyHealtheVet. It is being merged into larger data bases, I think, and no longer works in a small area for me: Surveys. So I sent a Help Desk inquiry to them and received a reply that says:

Dear Veteran L, Friendly tip: Please ensure that you are using internet browser Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge for quality internet service. The issues with Firefox, Safari, Internet explorer internet browsers does not provide full access of the portal and will continue to provide some type of error message. Thank you for your Service to our Nation. We are in this together. V/R B----- D----- My HealtheVet Assistant Veteran’s Experience Office Bay Pines VA Health Care System PO Box 5005 (OOCR) Bay Pines, FL 33744

I read in Mozilla help instructions that there are changes to my settings that may work for me, but my concern is that the VA folks are going down a path that leaves out Firefox. If I need to start using Edge or Chrome for MyHealtheVet because that is what it is, fine. I'm just surprised.

Apologies if I haven't described this very well. After loading a page on Firefox, loading the next one and any further ones could just be typed over the previous one as many times as you needed. Not any more, if I try typing in a new address nothing happens and I have to cancel and load Firefox again. Never used to be like this, can anyone help please?

Hello, Since the last update Firefox 128.0.3, I can't add bookmarklet. There is one bookmarklet I regularly use on my main profile, wanted to add it to another profile, but it's not adding there. If I try to drag & add, it shows the new bookmark add dialogue, but nothing is getting added. If I try manual add bookmark from bookmark manager, still nothing happens. The bookmarklet is working fine in the main profile btw.. but can't add it to another. I looked in the browser console using Ctrl+Shift+J, it shows the following two messages repeatedly. `Places - Transactions: Failed to execute batched transaction: Error: Bookmarks.sys.mjs: insert: Invalid value for property 'url': "javascript:\"use strict\";function _array_like_to_array(arr,len){(null==len||len>arr.length)&&(len=arr.length);for(var i=0,arr2=new Array(len);i<len;i++)arr2[i]=arr[i];return arr2}function _array_with_holes(arr){if(Array.isArray(arr))return arr}function _array_without_holes(arr){if(Array.isArray(arr))return _array_like_to_array(arr)}function _assert_this_initialized(self){if(void 0===self)throw new ReferenceError(\"this hasn't been initialised - super() hasn't been called\");return self}function _class_call_check(instance,Constructor){if(!(instance instanceof Constructor))throw new TypeError(\"Cannot call a class as a function\")}function _defineProperties(target,props){for(var i=0;i<props.length;i++){var descriptor=props[i];descriptor.enumerable=descriptor.enumerable||!1,descriptor.configurable=!0,\"value\"in descriptor&&(descriptor.writable=!0),Object.defineProperty(target,desc…` and </p> `Error: Bookmarks.sys.mjs: fetch: Invalid value for property 'url': "javascript:\"use strict\";function _array_like_to_array(arr,len){(null==len||len>arr.length)&&(len=arr.length);for(var i=0,arr2=new Array(len);i

For the last two days the search box for Wikipedia is missing with Firefox, but works properly with Chrome and its various derivatives.

My FireFox is 128.0.3 64 bit which it claims is the current release. It claims to have updated last on July 27 which is an obvious red flag. Is there some way to force FireFox to revert to the previous release?

I can get to a search box it by right clicking on the magnifier and opening the search box in another tab or window, and then deleting the original tab which is rather cumbersome. I've turned off all ad blockers and so forth.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I'm having a problem and need your help. Every time I try to go to Gmail (gmail.com) or Google Earth (earth.google.com), I get redirected to this site called grandid.com which is the website my school uses to log in to school accounts. This is my home cumputer so i am not intrestend in that and would like to completly block grandid.com from ever redirecting me. It's blocking me from logging into my accounts and using these services.

I've cleared my cache and cookies and even tried blocking grandid.com with extensions, but nothing is working. This is really frustrating and messing up my ability to check my emails and use Google Earth.

Can you please help me fix this?

The best, simplest way to Back up and transfer Firefox data to a new device

Here's what happened: I had installed Firefox on a different computer using my current profile backup copy/pasted, into

C:\Users\Al\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\s99pq6qr.default

& it worked ok .... but when I signed out & back in days later & launched Firefox on the new computer...

The problem is that it had 2 profiles on the new computer...mine & a generic one ..& that generic one became the starting or DEFAULT profile... obviously without all my data....so I backed out & later deleted that one generic profile so mine would be the only DEFAULT profile used. 

But from then on trying to use my profile on the new computer copy/pasted from my main laptop that I’ve had FF on for10 years...failed .....as it kept using the generic one...& all attempts at fixes to get only my backup profile used didn’t work...so.... & had to do a complete uninstall of Firefox using REVO..as it finds all folders & files hidden around places....but ....after REVO uninstall I found more folders &files of Mozilla & Firefox all around in my C drive...SO..after eliminating everything I could & starting over ...by downloading a new Firefox browser application on the new computer ...but before running the set up files... Now... I want to reinstall Firefox on this different computer ....& make sure that only my backup profile is used!

I was going to try Backup assistant.... But HOW DO I LOCATE & USE/RUN Backup assistant?

When I read this:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-devices

These are the steps you need to follow:

Click the menu PhotonMenuButton button in the top right corner of the screen.
Click Help.
Click Switching to a new device.

BUT...I DON’T WANT TO “Switch to a new device.” I WANT TO KEEP IT AS IT IS ON MY CURRENT DEVICE ....AND...WHILE ADDING IT TO MY NEW COMPUTER TOO (I might be confused at the term 'switch')

Then I thought of using Sync When I read this about Connect additional devices to Sync: To connect another desktop computer or profile, just sign in and let Sync do the rest. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer How do I know if I already had set up Sync on my computer? how to access it

I’m sorry.. but just overwhelmed/confused with too many help articles here...

& on the internet....

Thanks for any help & suggestions!

For about the past week I've been having trouble with Gmail and Google Search in my Firefox browser. Typically, I open a Firefox window with multiple tabs and leave the window open all day. I always have Gmail and Google Calendar open in tabs. What happens is that the Gmail tab will at some point give me a message that it cannot connect and has timed out and is trying to reload, but it never reloads, it just stalls. Then I try to open a Google search bookmark to search and the tab remains blank. This happens multiple times throughout the day. Meanwhile I can open Gmail or any Google page in Chrome, which I don't like using.

Sometimes I can close out the Gmail tab that won't load and try to open Gmail in a new tab, but that stalls out too. The only way I can open Gmail again is to close out the Firefox window completely and then relaunch it, then it can open Gmail or Google... until it breaks again.

This never used to happen. I'm using the latest versions of Windows 10 and Firefox on my desktop PC. Nothing else has changed.

Please help me fix this, it's very annoying.

Hi. I cannot use stripe payments. I am using FF vLatest and have added it to the popup blocker exception list and every other exception list I can find. I have done this for http://stripe.com and for whatever website is trying to use stripe. No stripe payments ever work and I always get the same error attached. I have tried another browser and it works. How can I find out at least what is blocking the payments so I can disable it?

I've been using Mozilla Firefox since ... well, before Firefox, I used Netscape, your great-great-grandfather.

I am not blind. I have some issues with visual objects on web pages like scroll bars when you can't effectively use them. They are too thin. Mozilla has had complaints about this since 2022.

Please Fix them. Otherwise I may have to migrate to Chrome or Edge and leave my Mozilla legacy behind for a differnent fork in browsers. It's a dealbreaker folks. People will leave this browser and probably are every day for one stupid reason. Scroll bars than are inaccessible without using something like windows magnifier when you need to scroll.\

C'mon Fix the scroll bars!!
