Firefox Community Forum

I'm running 64 bit Win 11 Pro Version 21H2 OS Build 22000.1219 and Firefox 107.0, and the first time I click to open Firefox, I receive message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". If I clear the error box and click again, Firefox comes up normally. This happens every time I bring up Firefox. It's not a show-stopper, but very annoying.

Thanks for your help Mike Harmon [email removed from public]

Hi, everyone. As I am the firefox users from along time. But nowadays firfox is not opening any website properly. Like today I was checking psl matches schedule in my laptop. So not a single website is properly opening so I could check the schedule of matches. Thats why not I am using mobile phone. Could anyone tell me that what could be this issue?

Hi there ! How can i get this type of Tabs? Is it possible? This is so cool ! (Though dark tab ofcourse :D) Example Image Attached...

Thanks Shaer Alvy

When I go into the Settings tab, I see a message at the top of the page that says "Your browser is managed by your organization". This is a private laptop so there should not be any organization managing my browser.

I have searched for help articles to try and solve this problem myself. They all recommend editing a key in the Windows registry, specifically HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox . However, this registry folder does not exist in my laptop. Who is managing my browser? How can I stop them?

I would like to set Firefox homepage with a background image. I don't seem to be able to find one anywhere. I am a novice at computer related issues, and require step by step basic help. Surely there must be a way to change the background image, I managed to do it in Chrome but Firefox illudes me. Thanks for any help in advance.

It was restarted after upgrading to 107.0.1 but the Firefox doesn't ask my master pwd anymore and disappeared all stored password .

In a profile I found 1-1 logins.json, logins-backup.json both are almost empty and a one day old logins.json.corrupt file with a quite huge size.

When I renamed logins.json.corrupt to logins.json as I found in forum, restarted Firefox it became to *.corrupt again.

How to force Firefox stop autoplaying videos when I'm switching to the i.e. new YouTube tab, but in the same time do not pause a next video on YouTube playlist. Some time ago it worked well, but now if I set Block Audio or\and Video in settings, I have to manually click Play, and with Allow Audio and Video chosen it starts playing video immediately after I click on another tab.

Hello Support, Allstate Identity Protection submitted the newer version of the Safe Browsing app add-on on Nov 29th and this morning we got the rejection with the message "This contains inappropriate content" and that doesn't help us understand the real problem so that we could fix it. I would appreciate if you can share more information on this so we can troubleshoot and go past this review.

Thanks, Appreciate your help.

While doing some virus discovery tests with Windows Defender and other AV products I realized that with Firefox files are not scanned when download finishes. With Chrome and Edge the Windows Defender immediately checks and blocks malicious files. Not so with Firefox. Then the file is only checked and blocked when opened.

After some research I found that in the past there was an Option `browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone` but this seems no longer available. Under Security software in about:support Windows Defender seems to be correctly set.

Is there a way to have files immediately checked by the AV after download in Firefox completes?

good evening , this is a question to anyone who could kindly explain these trust certificates that are listed in my settings , are they valid trusting ? or are they problematic and creating a music library sync issue ,?

I believe I'm having the same problem as this issue, but it's now archived: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1374927

Firefox Info: Version 107.0.1 Build ID 20221128144904 OS Windows 11

Specs: i7 13700k 32GB DDR5 Ram GTX 1080ti

Basically, I'm dropping frames when I'm tabbed into a game, in my instance it's World of Warcraft, but it could be with other games too. I suspect it's something to do with Windows 11 as I didn't have any problems in Windows 10 with my older computer.

Some trouble shooting steps I've taken is I've disabled all extensions, ran the browser in troubleshooting mode, and finally done a Firefox refresh and I still have the same problem.

I recorded a video of how it looks, it's at its absolute worst at 4k, with 2x speed on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuIaYJYGHEI

Any help or suggestions is appreciated, cheers.

Firefox 10x.x will stop rendering pages without giving an error. MX Linux. Nothing showing up in dmesg Not detecting any pattern to when this major issue happens; simply opening a page from a search engine result in a tab might cause it. could run 20 tabs of Youtube often without issue. Issue will only allow one level on Menu to show (can't reach Browser Tools to troubleshoot), selecting a tab window usless wont not move. If issue happens in a video window the video will play but not update display. If I resize Firefox, its window will update frame by frame

Hello,

Thanks

Hello i have problem with theme's (i thinking that is this ) . The problem looking like in the picture - have no Pause/start button on twich.tv or fullscreen option just all options dissapear when stream starts playing ( when its loading i have those options). Can you please help ?

As I said above, Title Menu where you have file edit view.... the color is red and too dark how do I change this? When I installed firefox as my default browser, it had asked what color, I selected Red, but it is too dark, I would like to change the color. Thanks

I use a MacBook Pro running OS Monterey and I've gotten the dreaded "Firefox is already open" message. Firefox isn't my primary browser but I do have tabs and bookmarks saved there. This has happened before, and last time I ended up following advice to delete my profile which wiped out my entire account (it was the only profile there, and I should have looked for an alternate solution because that clearly wasn't it).

I was very interested in switching from Chrome to Firefox permanently, but I'll be honest, I'm pretty frustrated that this keeps happening and putting my tabs/bookmarks/history/etc in jeopardy. If someone could provide a straightforward explanation as to how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it.

Btw, I already tried viewing FireFox in the activity monitor as I saw another site suggest and it wouldn't let me quit it (I saw it greyed out).
