Firefox Support Forum

There is a little robot in my search bar, that makes my search bar orange with a lighter orange stripe pattern. When I hover my mouse over the robot it says "this browser is under remote control". I have googled and looked everywhere for more information about this, as I am completely unaware on what it is. Could someone tell me what it is and what it does? I really just want to make sure it isn't a virus, and that I don't need to keep covering my camera anymore.

Thank you so much.

I tried to access a website but Mozilla will not permit it as it says it is a potential security risk, probably due to an expired certificate. But when I went to the help page it said to contact the website owner to let them know about the difficulty as they might not realize what is happening and that they need to redo the certificate. How do I contact the website owner when I cannot access the website?

(I would love to include an attachment, but your page here will not let me. It only accepts 'images' and what I have to share is a Word document with a printscreen of the refusal to allow access tab and the information from the webpage to 'contact the website owner'.)

Hello!

I am used to search via address bar (My browser: Firefox 87.0 64 bit, Windows 10 Pro, Build 19041.867 ). Since a few month I sometimes receive an annoying Message wich I can not get rid of (image).

I deleted Firefox completely and installed it again. My Virus scan and Spybot Search and destroy did not report any results.

My only Add-on is AdBlocker ultimate.

Plugins: OpenH264 Videocodec and Widevine Content Decryption Module.

Search via Google did not help.

I suppose that something is corrupted.

I finally have no clue how to solve that problem and would be glad if somenone could help me.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, After I start Firefox with Duckduckgo, I begin impatiently typing something in. Then I find that Firefox wants the master password and has swallowed everything I typed. Can this process of entering the master password be sped up or changed so that I do not have to type everything over?

As the subject stated, I'm desiring to achieve the result that I can run some webpage with the window containing only the page itself (without toolbar, address bar, etc.). The --kiosk command line option is almost what I need but it will enter the fullscreen mode whatsoever. For instance, chromium has the --app option which is exactly what I want it to be. Thanks in advance!

latest version 88.0b6 still gives "can't load xpcom" message why is this still happening after 3 years of the problem in the history of upgrades. Don't tell me to check profile as I can't even start FF. I have done all the deletions as instructed by various experts but still get the message "can't load xpcom". Samuel Santos said download "83" to see if that fixes it I don't know if it did cause I then got "CAN'T FIND ENTRY POINT"

Why don't all websites automatically resize to fit the firefox window (when 'normal' size). Several updates ago - webpages stopped 'resizing'. Webpages that formally displayed fine, are now too large (the indicator shows 100%, but I must reduce it to 80% to display as it did before). I have - and have always had - my bookmarks sidebar 'open' and websites resized depending on the amount of space available. This no longer happens. Reducing or enlarging the bookmarks sidebar only 'slides' the webpage R or L to view the additional info (like using the scrollbar on the bottom). This only happens on some websites (e.g. Home depot) - but other resize as normal (e.g. Motley Fool). Is this a Firefox issue or the website developer issue?

thanks

Hello,

When I go full screen mode on firefox (version: 87.0 64 bit) and mac (version: Big Sur 11.2.3) both the top and bottom apple tool bars go away (which I want to happen) but the firefox search bar and bookmarks are still there on top.

When I go FS on my windows computer, the full web page displays and then when I hover op top the firefox search bar pops down until I hover off it, this is what I want to happen on my mac!

See attachment of firefox search bar staying while in FS mode and please help! Thank you for your time.

The last fully compatible version I could use was 78.6.1 ESR. I know I need a new profile to go backwards but I can't find the specific file. I can see the version I would like in a directory but don't know how to download/install it. Thank you all:)

Have 2011 Mac which won't support newer OS updates.

I have special interests and want to collect many web addresses of the same interest under one file. I have tried to in the bookmark column to right click and hope for the possibility tp see NEW FILE. However I haven't succeeded. Would anyone help me?

Recently, often when I'm casually browsing the web Firefox tends to crash. When it does, it won't start up for a couple of times. When I start it back up it will immediately crash again. Sometimes it takes an hour or a system reboot to fix it. Even if I'm just watching a video on Youtube it will sometimes crash out of the blue. Starting in safe mode crashes as well.

I'm having some more weird issues with my PC lately, like games crashing or getting RAM-related Bsod's. I really hope someone can help me with this issue because it might also give me some more insight into what's going on with my PC. Of course I will relocate to a different forum for that matter- but first I want to look into this issue.

Thank you.

Suddenly I can't access my Yahoo email account. Even when I go to the Currently.com website, when I try to open my email I get an error message. Never had this problem before. I can access my email through Internet Explorer, so it must be Firefox that is the problem.

What files do I need to restore from my nightly backup to bring back the multiple tabs I have lost in a shut down? The current restore previous session only has half of what I lost. I tried copying the profiles folder from a back up but it still only had three of the six windows I lost. Suggestions please!

Yesterday this issue arose where when I would run Firefox it would open then close within a second. I've tried reinstalling and the same issue arose. I can't seen to start it in safe mode or change profiles. Is there any advice for this?
