Firefox Support Forum

Wow! I only had to go through a hundred and eleventy-seven pages to get to this point. You know, there's actually pro forum software out there.

I think I'll fix my problem by deleting the Firefox virus from my computer.

i have tried every about:config option there is on google and i still can't disable the expanding URL bar (where once you've entered a asearch, heading back to the bar expands a menu on the right side with a privacy icon, a drop down menu, a pocket icon, and the bookmark icon). very irritating.

i have seen options regarding the userChrome file but i'm inexperienced and probably messing something up.

any help would be much appreciated.

I use Firefox as my default browser and I pay my bills on-line but it seems over the last year that more and more financial sites do not work at all or some parts do not work on Firefox. They work fine in Chrome!

Is this some kind of conspiracy to force people to use Chrome or Edge?

I have a customers dead laptop, she wants her firefox profile copied to her new laptop.

Since the laptop is dead, I can't use sync. I have her profile data, which is useless in her new laptop.

For future reference, how am I supposed to do this? I've always kept as many customers as I can on firefox.

Is there a conversion tool? A way around this? Or am I just going to have to say shes out of luck?

I saw under 'what's new' a item about media controls. Unfortunately for me, it is full of jargon, initials, and not much in the way of plain English. As an unsophisticated user, I can not understand the explanation. Is there some source of clear explanation of what it does and how it does it, and what you might have to do to use it or not?

Good morning. I`ve got one question: I have 81.0.2 version, and - everytime i launch firefox - i receive message that i should install the newest version. Problem is that i did this around 5 times... and still nothing.

This week Facebook decided to stop working properly on Firefox. The image below shows what happens on first attempting to run Facebook after the computer starts. It will hang like that indefinitely. If I close the Firefox tab and run Facebook again it will work. Why does closing the tab or browser make it work on the 2nd attempt? Please note: This not a cache cookies issue, it happens regardless of whether I've run Ccleaner or not. That is the question. A real world analogy would be something like this... I open a porch door then open the front door but the front door won't open. I close the porch door, open it again, then the front door opens. Do you see what I mean. Nothing has changed except opening the porch door a second time which has no physical impact on the front door. I'm probably not describing that well, it's as if doing an unrelated thing a second time makes something work. I've started to use Chrome for Facebook now, I'm fed up of Firefoxes problems lately. Another problem I'm having is a strange Youtube anomaly: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/77200164?hl=en Particularly annoying. Thanks for any help.

Hi All,

Several times I've cleared my cache and managed to also delete ALL of my logins. I most certainly do uncheck the box for "Cookies and Site Data", leaving only "Cached Web Content" checked and it still deletes all info. Also whenever I go back in that page, both are (again) checked.

What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way in "about:config" to default this area to "Cached Web Content" only?

I just installed FF Quantum on a new computer, and I can't figure out how to reduce the width of my tabs so that only the favicon shows. FF is set up that way on other computers but I can't find or figure out how I did it.

Google has Advanced Search ..where you can search all these words, this exact phrase, any of these words.. Etc..etc..You Know..

Now .. I know that google is search engine, and firefox is browser.. But I want to use ..similar function in firefox browse history..

In firefox bowser history, in search tab.. I want to search.. Text.. Phrase..from this site ..etc.. I have so many youtube histories.. and among them..want to find..DeathNote AMV's I have watched..

So search DeathNote site:youtube.com in my search history

Is there any Firefox extension..please tell me

Latest Firefox 82.0.2 64-bit cannot connect to the following page (it only displays a blank page even in safe mode and Enhanced Tracking off): http://links.email1.carrefour.fr/els/v1/mkzWH2KjNWtjE/YUNiTTVaN01oQjVRUzZ1YmJaQWRYSlFudDFqV1RZeUsrTDFDSk12NUxuUVlqN3NqTTJXQmtiNXRxYnk2MytIQmhaWFlFN0RiT3JNTVI1M3JnL1kzZHhKUDl1WnZ0anpWNUZPeUovY3hJbEU9S0/ This is not happening in Google Chrome.

Every time I shut down my computer I have to reset all my preferences and dowload adblock plus. The installer is still on my desktop and I can't remove it. I've put it in the apps file. This never happened before and I've been using firefox for at least 10 years. This just started happening with the new version of firefox. Please help as it's driving me crazy!

Hello.

I configured Firefox so that whenever I close the browser only the Browsing & Download History and Form & Search History to be deleted, so that I don't have to login on every relevant website (facebook, youtube, mail, etc.) It was working fine until a few days (~1 week ago) when it started logging me out of some websites randomly and I basically have to login again. I basically close the computer and the next day I find myself logged out of some websites.

Did this happen to anyone else?

whenever i try to download something from firefox the speed is always around 50kb/s which is very slow considering my connection is 50mbps and when i download from game platforms or elsewhere the speeds are at least 4mb/s. I have seen people say that it may be due to site slow uploading servers but this can not happen to all cites.

I am attempting to reinstall firefox. Old one screwed up and I eventually uninstalled it. Ran revo uninstaller, turned off firewall and antivirus, wifi connected. Started Firefox Installer as Administrator. Firefox Installer window appears on Desktop. The interior of the window is completely blank, all white. Wait. Nothing happens. Click on it, get Not Responding message at top of window. As far as I can tell the Installer did nothing but open the window. Repeat downloads of the Installer did the same thing. Help?
