Firefox Community Forum

90% of time I cannot connect to a website unless I go into settings, privacy security and clear the data. Sometimes this doesn't work and I have to go to a different browser. I don't have this issue with other browsers. Why is this happening?

After updating to v 133.0, when maximizing Firefox (not F11 fullscreen), a taskbar that is set to "auto-hide" will no longer unhide when mousing to the bottom of the screen. This did not occur with the previous version (132.0.2).

This behavior is also unaffected by the "devtools.toolbox.alwaysOnTop" setting in about:config as i've tried switching from the default "true" to "false".

Update: Still persists in 136.0.2

According to Firefox Help, "After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords." But since updating to version 136.0 I get asked for my Primary Password even to see my home page. Why is this?

I have attempted to sign in to MyHealtheVet.gov 3 or 4 times over as many hours. Every instance has encountered the same message "Secure Connection Failed. This is the Verterans Administration website and find it hard to believe their website is not secure. I'm not a computer geek, far from it, hence utilizing this method of contact. I have been notified by email that I have a secure messaging message on the VA site that I am unable to access/ Thanks in advance,

WHEN I SIGN INTO MY OUTLOOK ACCOUNT, FIREFOX IS BLOCKING MY CONNECTION. IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO SECURESERVER.NET. I CANNOT ACCESS MY E-MAILS IN FIREFOX CURRENTLY. PLEASE HELP! ALL THE TECH PEOPLE SAID IT IS THE BROWSER????

I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM ON THE OTHER COMPUTER. I THINK THIS PC IS O.K.

I think I am in he correct forum - my apologies of I am "off base" but I am ignorant of computer technology I use an accounting software "reckon" - a programme that originated in America I run firefox as my default browser I run my E mails through G mail

I send invoices from reckon in PDF format attached to an e mail created in Reckon to my clients. Everything ran perfectly (and has done for years) on April 1st. Last week Reckon failed and told me I had the password wrong. (This is rubbish - as nothing has changed) After a week of talking to Reckon help desk I was told that it was Firefox/Gmail who have changed the system and will no longer accept third party interactions. (I think that is what he meant)

Can anyone give me a work round?? Other than printing and scanning and sending manually - I did this yesterday and the time it took was just mind boggling. Many Thanks for any thoughts - as I am not technically minded please be simple in your responses

For the last couple of days, when I am using Firefox I am bombarded with security alerts ranging from "System Alert" to "Viruses found (3)" to "Trojan Detected". The icons shown are Windows, McAfee, Google, and others. Mozilla Firefox with its logo are in small print, top left corner. I am usually asked to click; I do not click! I scanned my computer (Webroot) and the scan comes back clean each time. The last line in all of these is "via d04e3a0hubcc73bbgvsg.chainintegration.co.in" How do I get rid of these? Thanks for any help. Susan

I recently found that I could not log into the Freecycle website using FireFox but I could log in using Chrome. The difference between the two was a revision to the login page which appeared on Chrome but not on FireFox. I contacted Freecycle and they advised clearing the cache, restarting FireFox and trying again. It was still not possible to login so I tried clearing everything I could find but nothing worked. I tried disabling my protection software, Webroot and Malwarebytes, but again no success. Whatever I did I still got the old login page. However I started the Firefox private browser and it was then possible to log in to Freecycle. Can you please explain what is going on? John Rieley

I suddenly have random bookmarks along the top of my screen, just below the Google search bar. I cannot figure out how this happened or how to undo it. I HATE this and have already wasted a huge amount of time. Please tell me how to get rid of this plague. It seems to happen only when I open a new tab, but it is really annoying.

I accidentally uninstalled firefox and need to recover passwords and bookmarks. Can this be done? I run an old dell latitude with Windows 10 and was trying to cleanup apps running in background at startup since it was running very slowly. At one point I saw 2 firefox icons. Uninstalled one and lost everything. Can you help me. Michael Evans

Windows 10 is on my laptop but firefox is showing windows 8. i need to have firefox version 124 or above for an online form-filling exercise

I'm not very techy anymore - alas - so please help me - in plain engligh - to sort this out

thanks in advance

Hi there team! Since a Mozilla upgrade earlier this year, I have been unable to create a reply to certain posts made by folks I follow on Threads social media. It occurs about 20% of the time, intermittently yet consistently. When I seek to create a reply, the response window opens with a restricted field that does not allow me to enter any text. Please see the attached screen shot. It's just a box with no cursor. The restriction has never occurred when I'm on Edge or Chrome, only on Firefox. But I prefer Firefox. I am a senior who uses an IBM-clone desktop running Windows10 (contemplating Win11, but that's another story). I use standard Mozilla security settings for browser privacy. Firefox browser is current. I have attempted shutting down all ad blockers in isolation and in combinations attempting to rectify with no results. I am guessing I possibly have some setting out of whack, but I have no clue what this is called or how to fix this. Not a major issue but a continual annoyance and a puzzlement. Am I the only person who has this problem? Is it a Threads issue perhaps? (their help is non-existent). However the issue does not occur when I use Threads on my Android phone, and it has never occurred on Bluesky, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube or any other platform I access. Can anyone help figure this out please? Thank you! Regards, Lorraine the Inkenheimer Lorraine@inkenheimer.com

Hi! I have been using youtube and all of a sudden, without me restarting firefox I'm loading a video and it shows this blank screen in place of the reader. The shortcut for full screen mode is not working and other shortcuts don't do much. I've tried some options like disabling every add-ons including Ublock origin and restarting, also disabled hardware acceleration and restarted, checking for firefox updates, and I think that's all I came up with. I tried to do researches online but couldn't find something that looked exactly like my problem. I still followed most of their troubleshooting.

As you can see on this screenshot the add-ons are disabled. The rest of the page works fine, even the comments. It's just the video, as if the reader was not there. Also to note that the videos accessed since this problem appeared are not in my youtube history, as if they were never read.

Have a good day

It gives a Connection error and Swansons seems to think it is my browser problem. I haven't had problem with this site before and I don't have problems any place else. I turned off Malwarebytes Browser Guard, temporarily, and that didn't hgelp. I already cleared the history and that didn't help.

having trouble getting into url from Fox News. after entering my email to receive a link to sign into the page I want, the little circle just turns and does not move to the website I asked for. It was working and now it doesn't. Jim
