After the last update of Firefox I can no longer play my game Gardens of Time on Facebook. I get this message: Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

How can I fix it?

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

There a way to cast videos from my firefox desktop version to my chromecast?

I use a extension (fx_cast) but wihout sucess.

I need to use another browsers (chrome, chromium, edge) all theses works well.

Any solution?

bold textFirwfox no longer asks to remember passwords and some pass words are missing from the list.

ask to save passwords is clicked as are the sub items

A few versions ago (donʼt know exact one) a new effect appeared: when pressing right mouse button on an element to get its menu (standard Firefox menu, not overridden by the page), if mouse cursor position is over a popup menu item, this item is immediately selected on mouse _release_ button.

In most cases the context menu popups right to the mouse position and this causes no effect. But if there is no place to right (the selected element is near right screen margin), a menu item appears under the cursor and, as stated above, is selected. It is unpredictable what item will be selected.

This is rather controllable (although annoying) with real mouse but uncontrollable with touchpad, as on most laptops.

Please suggest how to disable reaction on the mouse button release.

Since 132.0-1 and higher (installed with snap) on Ubuntu 22.04, I can't download opened PDF and image files, nor can I use pop-up windows (downloading files only works if there is a clickable button on the website, even "Save link as..." doesn't work). Changing my privacy settings and disabling all sorts of protection add-ons didn't help.

Dear Mozilla Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of Firefox and have greatly enjoyed the browser for its speed, security, and user-friendly interface. However, I recently encountered an issue where the latest update seems to be incompatible with my system.

As a user with a low-end system, I sincerely request that future updates consider compatibility with older or less powerful hardware. Firefox has always stood out for its accessibility, and I believe that supporting a wider range of devices would further enhance the browser’s appeal to users like me.

I would be grateful if there could be an option or version of Firefox optimized for systems with limited resources. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

When I click on Firefox, the top menu bar is dimmed. When I click on New Tab or New Window, nothing happens. I've downloaded, reinstalled and updated the latest version of Firefox but it doesn't work. I've also clicked Option when opening Firefox. I click Refresh Firefox and it works but when I quit and restart, I'm back to the same problem again.

I am writing to request assistance with my Mozilla account. I am unable to access my account due to several reasons: I have lost access to the two-factor authentication app, I have lost the backup data with the 10-digit recovery key, and I no longer have any devices where I was previously logged in. I only have access to my email address.

I do not need access to the synchronized data; it would be acceptable if you delete it and allow me to register a new Mozilla account with my existing email address. Using a different email address is not an option for me.

I am in the process of transitioning away from the Google ecosystem and would like to use Mozilla's services and products. Could you please help me reset my Mozilla account so that I can register a new one with my current email address?

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards, Evgeny

I'm unable to stream content on Spotify and Netflix in Firefox due to a recurring "WidevineCdm plugin has crashed" error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steps I've already taken to troubleshoot:

• Ensured "Play DRM-restricted content" is enabled in Firefox.
• Tested with a completely clean Firefox profile.
• Tried the portable version of Firefox (131.0.3) as well, but the same issue arose.
• Verified that streaming works fine on Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, so I don't think it's an issue with my PC or security software (I temporarily disabled it for testing purposes).
• Made sure I'm not using any VPN or proxy.
• Performed a clean reinstall of the latest Firefox version.

System information:

• OS: Windows 11 (23H2)
• Firefox version: 132.0

YOU HAVE RUINED MY CANON PICTURE PROGRAM THAT I WAS USING TO DOWNLOAD PICTURES FROM MY CAMERA MEMORY CARD. AFTER THIS LATEST UPDATE THAT I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE I CAN NO LONGER DOWNLOAD THE PICTURES AS BEFORE OR ATTACH THEM TO EMAILS..

FIX IT!!!!!!!!

SUSAN SPONGBERG - LA HABRA, CA.

It started doing this last week. I had this happening a couple versions ago but it went away by itself (I think).

Clearing cache won't help, not restarting it in Troubleshoot mode, etc.

Firefox is up-to-date and this was fixed a couple versions ago.

New bug?
