Hey

Iam not able to start the moz firefox browser. I think because of a broken profile. Unfortunately iam not abke to fix this. If i try to open the profiles (windows+r: firefox.exe -p) nothing happens.

What could I do?

Thx

I am having two problems, both related to downloading files only on Firefox, these issues don't occur on other browsers when downloading the same files.

The first issue is that when downloading a file from Google Drive, the download always fails. It opens up a menu asking me where to save the file but the files name is "download" with no extension, when starting the download it will fail. In the images below you can see what it looks like. This happens with most files on Google Drive, usually those larger than 50MB (a VERY rough estimate). Both in the default tab and in the container tabs I use.

The second issue is very similar, when downloading a file, this time from anywhere on the web, when asking me where to save the file, the name of the download is a string of random letters and numbers with no extension. When starting the download it fails because the name is too long, after renaming it to something shorter it still fails. I don't really have any sites I can give as examples because this problem only occurs randomly.

For both problems I have tried attaching the correct filename and extension but it still fails.

Firefox Motzilla code question I’m signing into Printify using my Firefox account. Everything was good getting my Etsy shop as it was. But all of this came to a halt because I needed to pare my IPhone with my MacBook Pro. Couldn't get anywhere. Couldn't login to Prinitfy. It asked me for my code and this brought everything to a halt. I hunted everywhere. I don't have them. Needing codes is relatively new to me. I have been mostly working on designing and publishing products for Etsy. End of last year and this one, I've been hacked (4 months to repair) Right now I’m working on retrieving nearly everything including my identity. which happened last week. I believe over half of what I lost has been fixed. It is slowly coming to completion, but I need the codes or possibly new ones please, now to get into Printify. I have 73 products in my store.. To finish. the codes, where would they be? What do I do? I don"t know. I have much time to fulfill my mission, I've gone broke because of all the problems I've had, but I keep trying. Please help me. FYI, I work on a 2019 16" MacBook Pro: Sonoma 14.5.

My best to you all, Jane Magarigal

Hello, Today I was writing a draft post on Substack and the screen refreshed every few seconds. Possibly when Substack was saving changes. Each time it did this, the screen would go blank for an instant and refresh, and then I would have to click to place my cursor where it had been.

This is new as of this week. I was not writing on Substack using Firefox last week.

Firefox version 128.0, on Windows 10 Home v 22H2

thanks Chris.

I have been using Firefox to join our web conferencing service (Callbridge) for years exactly the same way, but suddenly audio fails to work presumably since a recent Firefox update. (I'm currently running 127.0.2 (64bit) ) The mic in my headset works great in Firefox on other sites including onlinemictest.com. The mic is recognized by Firefox and permission is provided for the site. When I speak, there is an indication that my voice is heard by Firefox, but it is as if the mic is muted...no sound through Firefox even though the mic is not muted. Again, in another tab on a different site, the mic will work.

If I use Microsoft Edge browser with the same setup for Callbridge, everything works fine.

In Firefox it does indicate I have provided mic permission to the site, and the mic is clearly seen and working, but no sound from FF in the web conferences.

I have tried saving mic permission for the site, as well as removing it from Tools...Settings...Privacy & Security...Permissions...Microphone and permitting Mic use each time the site is launched. Page Info settings are all correct with permission to use the mic and speakers and I have tried enabling autoplay for the site.

I believe any Windows or hardware causes can be eliminated since the same setup works in Edge browser. It seems to be just a Firefox issue that has appeared recently when using the Callbridge site.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Fully patched Windows 11 on ARM Windows Surface Pro X SQ2

What I see: Misrendering of UI elements and some elements of webpages. Rectangular areas of all white with white on white text e.g. tab labels, settings page, etc.

What I tried. Uninstalling FF Reinstall FF Refresh settings

None of these fixed the problem for me.

Uninstalled Firefox Reinstall of Firefox

My system specs is as follows

i5-12400 32gb DDR4 3200mhz 250GB SSD as main (wd blue NVME)

Whenever I play 8k 60fps video on youtube it lags and get massive frame drops with igpu sitting at 100% usage. With other browsers like chrome and edge it works 100% can play 60fps 8k video without any issue.

Since 127.0.0 and now with 128.0.0 i am unable to print readable barcodes from the firefox web browser due to the print quality being so poor, (other web browsers print fine)

I sat down to use PC running MS Win, my Firefox icons no longer opened Firfox. It seems that Firefox was been removed. Problem is, I didn't remove it, no one else has access to this PC. Is MS Win doing this? Any ideas? (Switching to Linux ASAP).

Dear Sir or Madam,

Once again, Firefox is blocking my ability to go into X (Twitter). I'm guessing you guys did an update and changed the settings again. PLEASE FIX. Thank you.

Sincerely, Britt

What's with youtube this week? Earlier there were issues with buffering every now and then, which I've read was google to make firefox users change browser to chromium-based one (chromium browsers didn't had buffering problem). But now videos won't even start to play just buffer endlessly. I've read somewhere that youtube changed something on the server side and now third party apps may have problems playing video. I don't have playback issues on vivaldi or chrome but I don't want to switch browser.

I provide IT support for an 80 year old friend. He uses Windows 7 and Firefox ESR. He has Firefox home as the home page. He had 3 rows of icons showing on Firefox homepage. However today the home page did not show any icons when Firefox was started. Since then about 10 websites have been visited but only 2 show on the home page (Settings Home Shortcuts [for sites saved or visited] is ticked with 3 rows specified. Saved bookmarks are still present as are the saved login credentials.

Any ideas as to why the home page 'lost' all the icons? Why are many of the visited sites not showing on the homepage and how can they be shown? Are there any criteria that apply before a visited website shows on the Firefox homepage?

Thanks for any advice.

I'm not sure why I get this message: "This site isn't currently available in the EU", but only on my Windows 11 laptop. I don't get the message on my cell phone; instead it goes right to the website. They both use Mozilla/Firefox. here's an example: "https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1/messages/AN6WxktugKP1Zo6E-gXQSGxZLg4." Connection button shows that the site is secure. I have not cleared the cookies. When I select any one of the subjects in the email which are usually local news items I get this response: "This site isn't currently available in the EU." Here's an example of one of the items: "https://www.audacy.com/wwjnewsradio/news/local/michigan-man-guilty-of-making-threat-of-msu-stage-act-2?utm_source=WWJ-AM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WWJ-AM%20NEWSLETTER&utm_content=WWJ%20Daily%20Recurring%20Newsletter&mi_u=1655089&mi_ecmp=WWJ%20Daily%20Recurring%20Newsletter."

The problem is I'm not in the EU and it appears that I might be dealing with a tracker but when I scan the computer there is no evidence of that. Is there something else that might be going on?

Mozilla Firefox will not open websites for gooutdoors, millets or blacks, or any linked to the 'blacks' group. Their website addresses are all different but there is clearly some association with the group.

No messages, just a blank screen as though continually waiting.

Used to be ok but this issue has been consistent for at least the last two weeks, and there have been no changes to equipment or software in that time.

Have cleared cache and cookies, and restarted the router but makes no difference.

These websites open ok on my phone, which uses google chrome, so specific to firefox. I use norton 360 on both pc and phone and have done for last couple of years with no issue.

Previous post from around 3 years ago show this issue has occurred for other people in the past and no solution provided, where some reported the problem evewntually disappeared on its own with no explanation, but don't think it lasted this long.

Help please.
