Firefox Support Forum

I am a 25 year user of firefox and this is the worst it has been 100.0 On more and more sites Firefox fails to work on forms and certain web pages.

forms dont show up forms dont execute once complete certain website actions dont work

my belief is these are special scripts and not the basic website display, but I am having to switch to chrome more and more to acomplish my daily activities.

I have updated recently to 100 and I find it hard to believe I have these problems.

Where can I get Firefox 52.9.0? There was a list of old versions here but now I can't find it. I found https://download2.portableapps.com/portableapps/FirefoxPortableLegacy52/FirefoxPortableLegacy52_52.9.0_English.paf.exe I really did not want the portable version but avast considers it a threat so it may not be genuine.

After updating firefox from version 106 to 107 scrolling and site animations is choppy. 107.0.1 didn't fix the problem.

When I open my MSN home page, there is no sign-in showing. I have 'Keep Me Signed in' selected but occasionally I do need to sign in again or I want to sign out to sign in to another account, which is not an issue. Now, no sign-in. A few notes. When I open Outlook to view E-mail, my E-mail IS available & I can now sign in to my other E-mail account from there. When I open MSN in my tablet, MSN sign in is available. Tablet not using Firefox, so I thought this may be a Firefox issue. Let me know any thoughts. Great Thanks, Lee

Every time I open Firefox and search for something it comes up in Spanish and there is a box to check if you want English. I have checked my preferred language in the settings and that is English (US) and I also did a purge caches and when I close Firefox and re-open it reverts back to Spanish with the box to check if you want English. I also have Chrome on my system and it works properly. If I change my search to using Bing it also works properly. I am not sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Google issue and I would appreciate any assistance I can get. I also re-downloaded Firefox to make sure I had the English option and did a re-install, with no change. I would appreciate ant assistance I can get. Thnaks.

For weeks I have been trying to find a solution to getting "Error 15" on certain websites when using Firefox. Opera and Edge have no problems with those sites, only Firefox has problems. I have tried every "fix" that I can find on the Mozilla site and none of them work. Is there anything else I should try before I abandon Firefox? Could it be that Firefox is now unreliable under Win7 Pro 64-bit? If so I will have to abandon it because this computer cannot run Win10 or later.

Hi.

When logging into my account at NameSilo, it logs out immediately.

One would think it has to do with their site. But it does not happen with Chrome or Edge.

With Firefox, login happens, then immediately it logs out. Procedure can be repeated ad infinitum.

When simply closing down and reopening the browser, it works, i.e. each second restart it works.

What could be the reason for this predictable problem?

Thank you for your wisdom in advance!

I have been having constant problems with my email. Not sure if it is a Microsoft issue or Forefox? But, the problem is when I reply to a email in print, I keep getting blue lines when I try and type in my replies. The blue occur when I try and correct a problem with my typing out a reply. If I have to correct or backtrack a word or sentence, the blue line appear. Very frustrating I have to try and remove the blue lines before I can proceed. Can someone please help. Thank you.

Hi All,

I'm trying to modify various userChrome.css attributes of Tabs in Firefox 109.

However, code that worked in FF 88 is seemingly no longer working.

Is the below code outdated?

I would also like to change the appearance of #TabsToolbar from translucent to either a solid color or a background image. Is that possible? Right now, you can see icons from the desktop through the Tab bar, and there appears to be a strange curved, black overlay colorizing it. See attached screenshot.

Thanks for any input!

/* MISCELLANEOUS TAB ATTRIBUTES */

1. TabsToolbar { /* tab bar */

 -moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important;
 padding-top: 0 !important;
 padding-bottom: 0 !important;
 height: 25px !important;
 background-image: url("bkmr_back.gif");
 border-top: 1px solid #afc0d2 !important;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #8698aa !important;

}

/* Change the color of selected tab */

   .tab-background[selected="true"] {
       background-attachment: none!important;
       background-image: none!important;

background-color: #eef5fc !important; /* background color only, not border */ }

/* Change text attributes of selected tab #8698aa to match bottom tabstoolbar line color */

1. TabsToolbar .tabbrowser-tab[selected] {

       border-top: 1px solid #8698aa !important;
       border-left: 1px solid #8698aa !important;

When I try to send a message I get this:

Good afternoon,

Now that firefox no longer supports Windows 7 is there a way of disabling the update notificatioin? I like firefox, cannot afford to update to a newer version of Windows but find the annoyance of firefox wanting to update to aversion that does not support my system a distraction.

I know it is good practice to keep everything up to date but when the software makes this impossible ......

Any help out there, please?

Last week my laptop broke down and I needed to reinstall Windows. Since my laptop is old, it can only support Windows 7 and since I installed it, I can't use Netflix nor other streaming services. On Netflix's page it says I don't have the latest version installed and I did all I was suggested to do and all solutions that was offered by Netflix is in order (browser history is on, I have the latest version of Firefox, I restarted and reinstalled my browser, DRM content is on, Firefox content plugins are up to date and I'm using official version of Firefox). Don't know what else I can do, except to change the browser which I really don't want to but if nothing else will work... Please help. Thanks, Danijela

Using YouTube for example...

Previously, when I bookmarked a page/video (URL), if the newly bookmarked page (URL) had previously been visited, the bookmark would be displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a typical "YouTube Play Button" icon (favicon). But, if the newly bookmarked page (URL) has never been visited, then the bookmark would be displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a default "Globe" icon (favicon).

I almost always create bookmarks by dragging links/URLs from the browser client area to a folder in the bookmarks list in the sidebar (and sometimes/rarely, to a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar). But the same happens if I manually create a new bookmark to a "Visited" or "Un-visited" page.

Recently, this behavior just changed "without notice"...

Now, when I drag a link/URL from a the "Recommended videos column" on the right side of a YouTube page/video, to the bookmarks list in the sidebar, the bookmark is ALWAYS displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a typical "YouTube Play Button" icon (favicon), regardless of whether the page had previously been visited, or not. Also, existing bookmarks for un-visited pages that were previously created, and were previously displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a default "Globe" icon (favicon), are now displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a typical "YouTube Play Button" icon (favicon).

How can I bring back the previous behavior of displaying bookmarks of un-visited pages/URLs in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a default "Globe" icon (favicon)?

I have been using Firefox 56.0.2 on Windows 7 for years safely. Until yesterday. We had one of those mini powerouts, that caused problems.

My hard drive is failing and Firefox will no longer fully load, it tries bless it, but some FF files must be in the damaged sectors of the hard drive. It then locks the system. Using Chrome works fine. But some logins/passwords/bookmarks had to be changed very recently and are not stored in the chrome browser yet. I hate chrome so use FF as the main browser.

I'm thinking that if I can install a fresh copy of FF 56.0.2 in a separate folder, a separate 2nd copy of FF, and then copy yesterday mornings backed up FF profile (before the crash) I could at least copy over all the bookmarks etc to Chrome so I can have my logins etc back.

This mornings backup failed to backup some FF files, all others were fine. Firefox worked fine yesterday but failed to launch this morning.

Please help save my sanity. I know I have to move to W 10, but cannot on this computer.
