Configuration details are below. The Firefox desktop for Windows address bar does not function [it was fine previously]. If search keys or an internet address are entered into it, carriage return results in no action. The address bar is fully functional in Troubleshooting Mode. Shortcuts on the New Tab page or the desktop DO function.

about:config>keyw>keyword.enabled DOES have a value of TRUE

AVAST virus checker reveals no malware.

I've no idea how to resolve this. Solution[s] welcome and appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

FIREFOX 128.0.3 [64 bit]

WINDOWS Edition Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 OS build 22631.3880 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

DEVICE Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

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?

I recently upgraded to latest version of Firefox... maybe 128... and after many crashes, now it fails to start with the error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). I'm supposing I should reinstall, but concerned about preserving bookmarks and passwords. Any advice appreciated. [I'm a very long-time user of Firefox.]

Hi i have script

<script>

       (() => {
           const script = document.createElement("script");
           script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
           script.src = "https://js.hsforms.net/forms/embed/v2.js";

           script.addEventListener("load", () => {
               hbspt.forms.create({
                   region: "na1",
                   portalId: "39672158",
                   formId: "892e2f84-627a-4c41-8f9e-642cb468a70c",
               });
           });

           document.head.append(script);
       })();
   </script>

I have contact the script provider team and it says that

For transparency, I'm going to relay what was shared in an internal inquiry:

Because it's an external feature of Firefox that is designed to disable exactly this kind of content (external tracking and forms), there isn't much we can do.

In Mozilla's docs they explicitly call out forms as one of the types of content this is designed to block which specifically mentions a few forms areas here.

Many websites load external ads, videos and other content with tracking code from other companies. For example, a website may embed a video from a video platform. The code that loads the video contains trackers. Blocking tracking content can make sites load much faster, but parts of pages might not work correctly or appear at all.

Tracking content can include:

Ads

Login fields

Forms

Payments

Comments

Videos and photos

Buttons

I can see this happening in the Private mode but can you see on your end, if following the settings in Firefox's documentation to disable this for all windows does the form appear in non-private mode? Hmm even after setting to custom and unchecking all the boxes the form script still doesn't load.

I added https://www.psbspeakers.com as an exception too but it doesn't appear to do the trick.

As far as this goes since this is something implemented by Firefox we're not able to overrule this on our end

so now what should i do

I would love for someone to help point me in the right direction as to why my Firefox tabs are constantly crashing, especially on high memory usage websites like webmail or youtube.

I'm wondering if it could be related to a potentially faulty processor, as I recently had to RMA my i9 14900k processor, and modify the bios for stability even after I got a replacement, just to get applications to stop crashing and the OS to stop blue-screening.

For the curious, my intel forum post about that issue. My system specs are included in there as well: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/i9-14900k-randomly-crashing/m-p/1593273/thread-id/71838

Firefox crash logs:

Some crash reasons listed are EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT , EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ , and EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE .

Hello all

My bluewin mail-account contains lots of "own" mailboxes on the server, where I used to move my sent or received mails to, in the case when I wanted to preserve them. However, these mailboxes do not appear within Thunderbird. There, I can see only the "standard" mailboxes like inbox, outbox, drafts, bin, etc.

What do I have to do to see these "own" mailboxes in within Thunderbird?

Many thanx!

Best regards Old Keksi

I am on macos 14.5, and Firefox 128.0

I have enabled "Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords.". Which should ask for device authentication when I try to do anything with the saved passwords. And it does that when I go to "My passwords" and try to access them.

But, it doesn't ask for device authentication when I am using saved passwords on login forms. Is this intended? Anyone can go to the login form, fill the saved password without authentication and then see it.

I have attached an image and here is a screen recording of it of it - https://streamable.com/orf1gj

Hello Help, I go to https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1340339 as per Google's directions and find 3 Firefox Feedback items, yet no way to get to the Google's and Mozilla's standard prevalent "Go to Help and click 'Submit Feedback'," yet there is no such option for this. It's odd bc I see this:

  "2 respostas    3 have this problem     2 views"

Repostas isn't even in English, and there's no way to click a "I have this problem exact same problem" and the "Views" have to be greater than 2. I see one angry feedback was complaining there is no way to submit feedback, and the response is the standard answer. Are you talking about a different Firefox or you're, for some reason, giving the Android solution? Or perhaps you pulled 3 questions submitted via the question forum, well before more people could say they also have the same issue, and posted static copies of them. At least have the wherewithal to tell us there's no way to just submit feedback other than by the question forum. This doesn't seem like too much to ask of you where you get the chance to defend yourselves when it's required. And it seems reasonable to submit feedback so as a person gets an answer, so why not say so? Anyway, that's my peeve except for a different one I'll ask separately. Cheers, r P.S. The definer add-on, that is awesome, doesn't work in this textbox. Seems like a significant oversight.

I'm running Fire fox 128.0.3 in order to watch a You tube video I have to set the playback speed to 0.95. The default value of 1 causes the video to go into fast forward mode with no sound. Unfortunately this value is not persistent and has to be reset each time I open a you tube video in fire fox

What's Up?

Thanks

First, let me apologize if I picked a poor topic for this.

I log into a very sensitive site almost every day. Long ago I told Firefox NEVER to save the username or password. Long ago as in probably 2009. I let Firefox handle usernames and passwords for most sites, but never this one.

In the last few days, when I open the link to log into that site, there are two changes from what I had for years. One is that there is something in the Username field. It consists of a string of asterisks, then ends with the end of that username. The second change is that they box Remember my username is checked. I always uncheck it when I enter the proper username and password, but next time it starts out the same way.

What do I have to do to stop that site's login page from starting that way?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've been using Firefox as my browser on my desktop for years, and I've never had any trouble with Google Maps. However, some time in the last couple of months, I seem to have lost the ability to sign in, which means I can't access my saved maps, locations, etc. When I click "sign in" on google maps, the screen appears to refresh, but the login screen never comes up.

I'm signed in to google already. If I open gmail, it does go to my account. If I open an in-private instance of Firefox, I am then able to sign in and access my maps data. However, this makes me jump through the hoops of logging in with 2FA every time. I'd much rather be able to log in on a regular Firefox browser and stay logged in.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are my passwords secure if I just use FireFox right out of the box (just downloaded) without logging into my FireFox/Mozilla account? Firewall is on.

Or must I be logged in for best security?

I use a 2024 MacBook Air M3. FF version 129.0.2 macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

Thanks, Tom

Firefox releases email addresses and our data to third parties!

I installed the Arc browser and Arc offered to load my bookmarks from mozilla. Out of curiosity, I let it, and it loaded my bookmarks and folders smoothly. Arc didn't navigate Firefox to the login page, so Firefox released my information without asking me.

What probably happened in the background was that the Arc browser told Firefox which email address it was requesting data from, and Firefox handed over the data to it "on notice". Firefox was not even convinced that the real owner of the email address asked the Arc browser to synchronize the folders.

Is it the famous Firefox reliability?

Ever since the last update, I can't even use the home button anymore, as every time I click on it which I set as google's main search page, all it does is keep refreshing the current page I'm on, instead of redirecting to the page set on the home button, I have to rapidly click the home button around 30 times before it actually shows the google search page. I have tried everything short of completely reformatting the PC re-installing windows, and re-installing Firefox, I have even used Revouninstaller to completely remove Firefox and all files associated with it, and re-installed a clean version from the Mozilla site, dragged the home button to the tool bar, set the home button to google.com, and also set the opening page to google, then closed Firefox, waited around 30s, then started it up again, which did load up google's home page, then I went to youtube, played around there for a little while, then I clicked the home button, and yep, just as I suspected, it refresh the youtube page, I clicked it again, and yet again it refreshed the yourtube page, so I rapidly kept clicking the home button, until eventually the google home page appeared.
