Firefox Community Forum

Hi, I'm having trouble accessing only certain sites via Firefox. I have already cleared my cache/cookies, etc. Firefox is up to date. Proxy settings are set to "Use system proxy settings."

Following links from other sites sometimes (but not always) works, but typing in a URL or search term to the address bar results in an "Unable to connect" notice.

Examples of sites: Working: google.com instagram.com mozilla.org (main site works fine, support.mozilla.org loads only as an unformatted list of links) netflix.com

Not working: usps.com goodreads.com storygraph.com firefox.com duckduckgo.com oregonwalks.org ucla.edu

Thanks for your help!

Added by FF - poor move on FF part. Unlike others, can't be removed any of the "traditiona" about: methods.

Need to have it go - we DO NOT want this used here.

In this version of Firefox 152 for windows I'm currently unable to remove search related to google, ebay, perplexity and bing.

Please return possibility to remove those completely!

I don't want my browser to have anything to do with those listed above. I have had it removed in previous versions. Why did you add it to browser again?! Why don't you allow to remove it anymore?!

Recently any search I do via Firefox tab is automatically taken over by Yahoo and I'm not aware I ever sanctioned this and I don't want this to happen as normally Google was doing the searches. Thank you

I am trying to log on to my bank website but it requires something other than Foxfire to log on. I can't figure out how to logon. Can you help? Says my browser needs updated and is no longer supported. I have windows 10 I think.

I used to find my user names and passwords easily on Firefox under "Preferences" and then I clicked on "Passwords". I no longer can find this information. Were my passwords moved or eliminated?

We recently had an update on our printer drivers and somehow this has swapped settings from the previous system print dialogue to "Firefox - Print". The Firefox print dialogue does not have print preview and I need to be able to see a print preview. I've noticed that this was an issue in the past and people have solved it by going into about:config and setting print.tab_modal.enabled to false, but this hasn't worked for me. I am asking this question because if I can't find a solution I will have to switch to Chrome so I can see a print preview and I would rather not. If there is another way to force the system print dialogue instead of Firefox, please let me know.

Hello all, I have FF 152.0.6 in use on Fedora 43 xfce Qubes OS VMs. The only issue I have encountered is when I try to load the web UI for Proxmox Datacenter Manager. As soon as I log in to the web UI Firefox vanishes. I have tried this in troubleshooting mode with the same results. I can open the same web UI in a Debian 13 Qube and it works perfectly. The FF version there is v.140.13.0esr. These are simply the default versions that come with Qubes 4.3 templates. I can also access the web UI in the original Fedora Qube with Chromium browser with no crash. I have also tried a different Fedora qube with the same failure result as the original.

I can use Chromium but would prefer a streamlined experience with just one browser. I thank all of you in advance any thoughts or suggestions. I am a long time Firefox and Mozilla user.

Have a great day. SS

When I install FireFox, it automatically installs onto my desktop. My desktop is not for executables. it is for shortcuts to executables installed elsewhere. How can I make FireFox install somewhere other than my desktop.

Firefox prompted me to update, I hit download, my entire PC froze, I restarted the computer, when I opened firefox again and hit "restore session" it restored a session that I had opened months ago. When I checked my history, everything after that older session had been deleted. All of my history from the past few months has been deleted. I tried a few different solutions from trying to research the problem, nothing so far has worked. The only thing I have found is a session restore error saying "could not decompress file", but I could not find the file it was attempting to decompress. This is the error message I found.

1785894397652 SessionStore ERROR NotReadableError when reading session file: recovery: NotReadableError: Could not read `C:\Users\ansen\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xpnhovd6.default-release\sessionstore-backups\recovery.jsonlz4': could not decompress file: invalid LZ4 header: wrong magic number: `00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00' (NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED) No traceback available 1785894397756 SessionStore ERROR NotReadableError when reading session file: recoveryBackup: NotReadableError: Could not read `C:\Users\ansen\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xpnhovd6.default-release\sessionstore-backups\recovery.baklz4': could not decompress file: invalid LZ4 header: wrong magic number: `00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00' (NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED) No traceback available

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm one of those people that tends to have way too many tabs open at once due to poor memory, and losing months of tabs and progress is a huge setback. I'm very desperate to get the history and tabs back.

Every thing will be working fine? And then I click on something, and it takes a long time. And then at the top of my prompt, it says Mozilla firefox is not responding. I've been dealing with this for some time now. You can't figure it out. This is happening on my computer. Also I would update it the program and the very next day.There's a prompt asking me to upload again. I upgrade, and then I still get the same thing.Mazilla is not responding.

After clearing my cache, I got logged out of all of my accounts, and I can no longer sign into Google. When I enter my username it gives me a message that says “Couldn’t sign you in: this browser may not be secure. Try using a different browser.” I was able to log in using Chrome so it’s definitely not a device issue. I already tried clearing my cookies and cache again, and disabling all of my browser extensions, but I’m still getting the same message. Any help is appreciated!

Hello,

Noticed a random problem over the last few months with Firefox currently running Mac OS 13.7.8 and Firefox 153. Problem started a few version back with Firefox.

I use gmail while viewing emails in FF I will click a link, tab to review information and I receive ---

Looks like there is a problem with this site 400 bad request. site could be unavailable or busy try again later.

I then proceed to another browser on the machine - Duck Duck, Chrome, Safari and ever browser connects fine, so the problem lies strictly with Firefox as there is no problem with the connection.

I saw a few items to check on the internet but none resolve the annoying issue.

Can anyone advise a solution before I decide to move to another operable browser.

Thanks, Bob

The Mozilla help page says they appear on a new start page. I don't see them. I'm also not clear what they are (other than there is a clock or timer or calendar as one of them).
