Firefox Support Forum

I've been noticing for the last month that after a few hours in a browser window, I'll suddenly have a pinned tab for some random website. Some for promotional things, others in languages I don't understand, etc. At first I downloaded a webpage blocker, blocked the ones that were pinned, and deleted the tabs. However, after a short while (an hour or two) they would appear again in pinned tabs only this time it would say website blocked.

I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox in hopes that would solve the issue, but it is still happening. I unpin the tabs and delete them immediately after I notice them, but they keep appearing. I really like using Firefox and use it often for work, but I'm concerned for my personal and work security. What should I do?

No videos appear at all on Teachable, just a blank space where video should be. I have allowed video and audio (video and audio work on many other sites). I have cleared my cache. I have to use a different browser to use this site. I have also noticed other sites that have the same problem.

Firefox no longer opens my previous session when re-opening the browser. "Open previous windows and tabs" is checked in the general of browser settings, but no longer performs a such. Was never an issue until a few days ago.

I am told to disable pop-up blockers in order to have a payment verified. I do not know what pop-up blockers are, I do not know where they are. When I go to Settings and search for pop-up blockers, I am told "Sorry! There are no results in Settings for "pop-up blockers"; and instructed to visit Firefox Support. I have been sent on this circular quest three times now. Please help me.

At moment and for the past week or so, my email and other web pages garble all the bold type. This has happened periodically for the better part of a year. It will be normal for a month or so then be garbled as shown in the attached screen shot. This only happens on Firefox, not on Mac mail, Google Chrome, or Safari.

Basically in my online banking with chevron to login button is grayed out and won't allow me to login, including comcast account Continue button is grayed out. This is an urgent matter because I can't get comcast online application for new account completed.

Hello? I have a comment for extension with history erase error. I use Firefox browser with the Grammarly extension. After Firefox's history erased, the Grammarly log in was signed out. After history clean, I want to keep Grammarly logging in. After Chrome's history cleaned, Grammarly extension was logging in. Can you add History feature for exception of stay app's log in extension after clean?

I have been unable to login/sign in to my job website. It is not a network connection issue, nor that the website is temporary unavailable.

I keep getting this message:

'If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web'

Seems like there is a bug on the Inquirer website and Firefox. I'm a paid subscriber and I cannot even load the page to sign into my account. It's fine on Safari. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone! I use Firefox 102.12.0esr (64 bit) on my Macbook and I would like to download the names and phones of the chats I’ve joined on Whatsapp.

It can be done by hand and by taking screenshots (of course), but if there are dozens of contacts it is a problem. :(

On the net I've found that with a Chrome extension you can do it (I assume) easily, but -if possible- I'd like to avoid Chrome which I really don't like. ... but if there are no alternatives .... I’ll make a virtue of necessity!

So I ask if anyone knows and has already done this with Firefox. I specify that I haven't found anything suitable in the list of FF extensions (I use an almost "clean" FF, ie I only have three or four add-ons).

Off-thread comment Despite assuming that FF is still one of the most widespread and popular browsers - updates of even the most important extensions and add-ons always lag behind FF updates or even this items aren’t updated at all. I fear that this aspect will lead to a progressive shift from FF to Chrome and obviously this is a pity (even if I'm not a compulsive user of extensions!!). Don’t you agree? (Sorry for this complaint!)

Looking forward to your suggestions about my request. Thank you very much

Hello,

I'm trying to use the, "*", "%", "^", in my browser bar. What exactly do these do? After entering the shortcut I get a "Tab" or "History" button that shows up in the search bar and then after hitting enter nothing happens. Isn't this feature suppose to search inside all my open tabs and my History? Nothing happens after I hit enter.

Thank you.

I have a large (1/3 of screen) black section at the top of each of my Firefox screens for CNN which will move upwards if I scroll but never goes away. Only comes on CNN page. Don't know how to remove it? See image attached below. Very grateful for help in removing this black section of screen. It may be some sort of advertising section?

Running Firefox on MacOS. Browser will occasionally delete previous session when re-opening the browser. I do NOT have the browser set to clear history on closing. I have noticed that two of the incidents occurred when I accidentally closed the default window that opened when restarting the browser but I still had Firefox open.

Really frustrating when I lose all my open tabs with research I was conducting for work.
