Firefox Support Forum

I am trying to open .html files located on my hard drive, but Firefox gives the error:

File not found

Firefox can’t find the file at /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/en/gimp-pimping.html.

   Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
   Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

I can see the files at this location and even when I directly open the files from that location by double clicking them, I get this error. I have seen on Ubuntu forums that this might be a problem with the actual Firefox snap, any official help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi! I've been using Firefox's own screenshot tool and I'm loving it. However, it seems missing now :( Already tried finding it on the 'Customize toolbar' interface to no avail., and it's not appearing either on the right-click context menu. I really like this feature 'cuz I can directly download my screenshots. Is there any other workaround to turn this feature on? Pls just bring it back thank you.

Firefox loads only the top line of Facebook, with the Facebook logo, and nothing else. Troubleshoot mode does, after several minutes, load Facebook properly, but only for one session and then it's back to square one for any further sessions. Firefox has no problem, apparently, with any other website I use. Edge browser has no problem with Facebook at all. There is no error message. This problem exists in Windows 10, identically on both my HP desktop and my Lenovo laptop, and started at the same time on both, a couple of days ago.

Suddenly, a few days ago, Facebook does not display properly on my laptop. I have an image attached. I can go to another computer, using Firefox and it's fine. I can use Microsoft Edge here on my laptop, and it's fine.. But, here on my laptop, using Firefox. Not good. Other web sites display just fine. Any ideas?

My tab bar is gone..I do not need to open previous tabs, but the tab bar is gone all together, I need to use it. I have tried settings and history and full page vs not full page view. I have bookmarks, info bar, address bar but no matter what I have tried I can not get my tab bar back. I almost always have 3-5 tabs open for work and switch back and forth now they are not showing. Please help...

Thank you

I just bought a new computer and signed into my account like normal. Bookmarks won't sync. I've been through about 3 computers over the last year and haven't had any issues till now. I've tried everything I can think of including: reinstall Firefox, sign in and out, reboot, click on sync several times, and nothing. Help! I'm using Windows 11 for the first time. Is that the issue?

When watching a youtube video on firefox browser (only) i can not progress the video by sliding the video progress bar backwards or forwards, its completely non responsive.

i click the progress bar and try to drag it and it does nothing.

keep in mind this works perfectly fine in Edge and Opera.

So I have about 20 security cams around my home. I am NOT replacing the hardware Because it took years to get this system to function properly.. And no sooner I do, everyone decided to stop supporting adobe flash!

You an't possibly tell me that there is no work around. there has to be. Someone somewhere has had to have written a work around..

I have tried in firefox Preferences to change the applications for file extensions when I download files. I do not want doc or other microsoft files to open aiutomaticaly in Pages, Numbers etc.. I want to use Open Office but Pages and Numbers are the default and it will not change no matter what I do,. Any ideas or help for this problem?

I am looking for a way to enable Firefox to copy and paste PNG images with transparency. Right now, copy/pasting a transparent image replaces the transparent areas with solid black. This feature works as expected in all other mainstream browsers (it's something I use a lot in my workflow as a graphic designer for a website).

This bug has existed for a while, I'm hoping by now there is at least one extension that fixes it, or some kind of workaround. Thanks to anyone who can help.

When I download new font families, sometimes firefox displays the incorrect font on previously working web pages. The attached image shows what the web page should look like on top, and how firefox is displaying the wrong font on the bottom. This happens on multiple web pages, and this is the second time this is happening to me. The previous time this happened, I uninstalled the font that was being wrongly displayed and everything worked as normal afterward. This time I tried to find and uninstall the font, and wound up uninstalling a bunch of fonts and still having the issue.

I'm aware that there's a setting for me to choose which fonts websites display, and while this allows the correct font to show, it also causes other display issues; as shown in my second image, symbols turn into letters.

Is there another way to resolve this? I'd like to have a solution in case this occurs again.

A website I use regularly has internal links that no longer work in regular mode. They used to work and still work in Troubleshooting Mode.

These links are imperative to using the webpage. I'm not sure what changed or why they work in troubleshoot mode, but I need to fix this right away. They also work on other browsers.

I've contributed $, now I get an "upgrade" with a super thin vertical scrollbar almost impossible to use or correct (when highlighted) because I am not a coder. PLEASE double width as default or provide option in settings!

I accidentally downloaded Japanese version of Firefox and I've changed to English as the primary language. But for some reason, all of the windows for "open file" "attachments" is in Japanese. I have both languages in my mac but I have my primary language as English. I made sure by going over the settings, removing Japanese, restarting and going back to Firefox to see if it fixed the issue. I also removed Japanese as an alternative language on Firefox as well but nothing seems to fix the problem.

The attachment is what I see every time whenever I open a window in Firefox. No other program has this problem. I can still use the window in Japanese but it bothers me not knowing what is causing this issue.

Hi, autoplay is switched on, but still won't play youtube when I open in new tab (without switching to the tab) please can you tell me how to make this happen?

Thanks

I'm trying restrict usage of fingerprinting for my browser. I've already checked some articles and resources, for example this one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting

Currently my setup is like this: - I set "Enhanced Tracking Protection" to "strict" - I set "privacy.resistFingerprinting" to "true" - I'm using uBlock Origin

But still when I visit https://amiunique.org/fp I'm getting the information that I'm unique. The worst performance is amongst: Headers attributes:

• Content language: <0.01%

Javascript attributes:

• User agent - 0.49%
• Content language - 0.04%
• Canvas - Unique (this is weird because I'm even getting a notification about blocked canvas, maybe it is a quirk of this website)
• Screen height - 0.05%
• Screen available Height - 0.07%
• Media devices - Unique

Is it expected for Firefox to fail that test? By Firefox own marketing I expected that I'm protected from fingerprinting but in fact I'm not. And worst yet it isn't even turned on by default.

What can I do more to actually block fingerprinting? I tried Ghostery and Privacy Badger extensions but they didn't seem to help so I removed them.
