Firefox Support Forum

Hi, I have firefox on my Ubuntu 23.04. When i start it it shows a black screen. I click quit on my system and then i startup and it lunches normally. What am I doing wrong or how to fix it?

when i click on a firefox tab it opens in a new window - how do I stop this?

Already tried going about:config and changing 'browser.tabs.allowTabDetach`, and set its value to `false` and it is not working. Advise.

Hello,

Occasionally I select a bookmark in my menu bar that has become orphaned. Once on the page, I select the "Blue Star" and then try to remove the bookmark for that page to no avail. The bookmark remains even after shutting down and restarting Firefox (sync is off). Moreover, there are some bookmarks for which the "Remove Bookmark" option is not available after selecting the Blue Star.

I know that I can delete unwanted bookmarks using the Bookmark Manager but that method is time consuming when it comes to unknown, orphaned bookmarks that one stumbles upon from time to time. The aforementioned technique for removing these orphaned bookmarks is quicker assuming it worked.

Perhaps the Blue Star could remain filled in once a page is saved and subsequently returned too. Should one wish to remove the bookmark one need only return to the page and deselect the filled in Blue Star thus returning it to its outlined form while also removing the bookmark from ones menu.

Thoughts?

I have latest version of Firefox have had no problems before.

I use netzero .net for email and have for years with no problems. Now everytime I try to access netzero for e-mails I get Bad Request Your Browser sent a request that this could not understand. Size of a request Header exceeds server limit.

I am new to Firefox and I am trying to set my account up. I have put passwords in and so far I have had to change them. I have tried putting a authentication code in and it won't accept it after checking it. A Liverpool address came up and I don't live in Liverpool..

I'm having a problem sharing websites with others via, for instance, Signal. Telegram, WhatsApp or a social medium. There used to be a share button in the toolbar, but this I cannot find anymore. At some time there were also the three dots in the address bar that dropped down a menu for the page, which included a 'share' option. These dots seem to have vanished. Also I vaguely remember that the "share" function was also in he tab context menu once upon a time. However dropping down that menu does not reveal any "share" function presently. Then there was, if I remember correctly, the possibility to click the File menu at the top of the screen and then click on the Share menu item over there. But also there the "share" function seems to have vanished. I also looked in the settings menu, to find if there is a setting there which switches on or off the sharing function. I could not find such a setting. In short, it seems that I am horribly overlooking the "share" function. Please help me find it. Thanks. (Firefox 112 for Manjaro Linux)

Dear Sir

I have been using Firefox for a long time certainly all this century, I regret to say that you have done something to the system such that I am unable to get into online banking and on some sites I get a message something to do with a frame whatever that is. I regret to say that i have been forced to make Edge my default browser When you have cured the problem please advise and I will revert to making Firefox my default. Many thanks Graham Blackburn

HI all, I've just only recently noticed that EBay doesn't load in Firefox. This only started a few days ago - and I have never had a problem before in decades of using Firefox and EBay. I have changed no settings in Firefox at all for a long time.

After a mistaken forced restart (inadvertent pressure on the shutdown/start key), one of the 3 windows I had open is invisible. It shows in the 'Windows" menu as one of 3 but when I select it - nothing. It does not show as a recently closed window in History. I have restarted Firefox multiple times, including deleting the xulstore.json file then restarting (a fix from another similar thread).

How can I restore this inaccessible window?

Thanks

i lost my bookmarks and saved passwords data saved in my account by resetting the password.

Please help me how to get my bookmarks and saved passwords data.

Whenever I try to fullscreen a Youtube video, it just displays a black screen. It is not temporary, and the picture never loads in. I have tried the full-screen-api solution. Didn't work. I tried deleting my cache and cookies. Didn't work. I tried disabling hardware acceleration. Didn't work. I restarted my machine twice, and that didn't work And I am on the most recent version of Firefox.

refreshed firefox because it seemed to be crashing and to reset addons. when i relogged my tabs were saved however nothing else was. My addons did not automatically load and after manually loading a few, noticed that my passwords were deleted. pretty please with sugar on top, Where are my F..king passwords???

If I have to go more than 2 steps into a web site, example accessing my propane account, Firefox hangs up and I need to use a different browser to access my account. This happened with ChatGPT, when I got to the log in page Firefox hung up, I used the CCleaner browser to get into the website. I'm guessing I have something setup in the security settings of Firefox that's blocking me.
