Firefox Support Forum

I have used Firefox since forever, was a Netscape user in the past

But for about 3 months Firefox simply is no good anymore\

It is more and more sites I can not access with Firefox and have to use Edge instead.

Last example, just now

https://www.cibc.com/en/journeys/new-to-canada.html

See screens attached

This is just one example, many other sites simply do not open, or open properly, in Firefox

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Thank you

Maybe not an issue. Anyway i discovered that playing the same youtube video on my computer, the sound quality coming from Tor (based on Firefox 102.15.1) is much better than the sound coming from Firefox 118.0.2. Test made using the latest browsers version available. Platform Windows 10 64-bit

I had several dozen tabs open, as well as bookmarks saved that were on my account while I was using Windows 11. I didn't even think to export the bookmarks and other information, as I figured sync would handle that. Unfortunately, none of my settings have been saved. Is there a way to fix this? I had many extensions, bookmarks, and tabs I'd like to recover.

My firefox browser freezes completely and stops PC from working. Current remedy is to use another browser having switched off and re-booted PC. Any thoughts as this has started happening frollowing update to version 118

Hi there - I have had a persistent issue with Firefox not playing any audio out of the blue. I have checked my computer settings, refreshed firefox, reinstalled firefox, and still have no sign of what could have caused the issue. I am running windows 10. For reference, this has happened before but got resolved when I re-installed Firefox previously.

Any chance this is a bug that can be patched out? Please advise.

Hello,

I set a password for opening Firefox (Windows) and every time I opened FF I was prompted to enter my password. This was true in either privacy browsing or normal mode. Today for some reason I hit the cancel button and FF opened up normally to my default settings.

This was surprising to me. And I tried to find specific settings to ensure FF will not open unless you enter a pw.

Could not. So what good is a pw? And of course there is always the - I don't know what I'm doing to configure FF correctly.

This represents a failure in that a password setting is misleading, leading a user to believe that they have secured access to FF. If you can select cancel and FF opens this is a real issue.

On the other hand, if FF password was never designed to protect FF then this should be stated.

I strongly urge that Mozilla FF look at having the ability to create a PW protected, selectable -> unsynced or synced, version of FF that is stored in a protected form.

I am looking for a browser that is PW protected on top of your normal OS login. And that the URLs stored in that browser are encrypted. This offers an additional layer of protection for users who keep financial, health, etc., sensitive URLs that need to be kept private, not shared if so desired.

Hi, why does Firefox always download PDF files, no matter what option you chose (open with Firefox, open with other Adobe, always ask...)? It just does the same thing Chrome does, and I don't like Chrome for that reason too. I would like to see PDF files in Firefox or Adobe for instance, without downloading them. Thanks.

Firefox would not open and gave me an error message Platform Ver 118.2 not compatible... I reinstalled but have lost all my passwords and bookmarks. The PC, windows desktop backup has nothing in it.

This is a recent problem. Before I have opened Firefox, it sometimes opens with MSN as the home page. URL www.msn.com/en-xi?ocid=wispr&pc=u477 Homepage is set to www.startpage.com Computer HPZ2, windows 10. Security Norton; Malware bytes.

I am worried that my PC may have been hacked. Security scans don't show anything.

I don't ever want MSN: is it possible to fix the problem by blocking MSN; if so, how?

Thanks, Dmitri

I can play movies on DVD and Blu Ray discs on my computer just fine. And, if I host an online meeting using Zoom or Free Conference Calls, participants in the meeting can watch the movie. I do this by playing the movie locally with a media player, and sharing my desktop. However, when I try to watch a movie in an online meeting, participants just see a black window. Do you know the reason?

I'm using Windows 10, Firefox 118.0.2.

Hello,

The answer to the three most important questions in Real Estate is: Location, Location, Location!

The most important answer to my question is: How do I prevent my physical location from being discovered while using the internet?

Recently, I received an email from Moz://a and my physical location was identified. How do I prevent anyone, especially Banks, from knowing where I am physically located?

I've used many VPNs and they work work surprisingly well on many websites but recently I've been denied access to my bank accounts: "Your user name has been disabled." I am not in a position to call their "customer service number".

Do VPNs use only one IP address to substitute for my IP address?

Is it probable that banks know these substituted IP addresses and block them simply becasue they are associated with a VPN?

Thank you in advance for your Kindness.  :-}

This seems to be a recent issue. Normally, when I click a link for a map (such as "get directions" for a business,) the map will be rendered in Google Maps. This is good for my use, because I'm looking for Latitude/Longitude and distances, and this is easy in Google Maps. However, the maps now default to MapQuest. I'm not finding any setting in the browser to change that.

Can you help? This problem has sent me back to using Chrome.

Thank you,

Ben

Hello, my websites that I use when at work are now not functioning, including but not limited to

class link, google drive, google forms, google doc, google sheets

I can't access any of them or share any of them with coworkers for some reason. Of course Google browser lets me do everything however, I prefer fire fox instead, because I have been using FFox for many years.

So someone please fix this issue!
