Following this guide

Added some extensions (core/distribution/extensions), added autoconfig (js in core/defaults/prefs and cfg in core), put a user.js in core/defaults/profile with a userchrome.css in core/defaults/profile/chrome)

Then repackaged (step 4), did step 5 and 6 however when the newly formed installer is run I get a 7-zip error saying "the system cannot find the file specified". The originally installer works so it must be something that I am doing

Hi all,

I noticed a kinda strange behaviour on one of my devices with FF install. On a sigle host (Windows 10, FF v. 118.01 but the issue was present also on previous versions) after every automatic FF update history, cache, cookies and accesses are cleared, which force me to login in again everywhere; also some extensions are affected (Bitwarden). This behaviour is manifesting only on a single device of mine, on every other after FF update accesses etc. are kept. I tried to look around in settings but I didn't find anything related. Have somebody experienced the same problem? Is there any settings (maybe properties under about:config) that can change this behaviour?

Thanks

I downloaded the latest Firefox for security which appeared on my page. I thought it was a good idea. However I play games in Facebook and do a lot of jigsaw type games. After downloading I could not load my games to play at all. It affected all of them. I just deleted the latest firefox and downloaded the one from the Mozilla page and now they work. Why did this happen. I like Firefox I like security however I do want to be able to use other sites that may have blocked or decided they do not like the way Firefox is taking away their advertising $$$$

EDIT: Disregard. I used the settings in the lower right corner and set my region to the United States and now the grey bar with Australia in it is gone.

Firefox Keeps Resetting Itself AND not working

This is more of an odd experience. I've never had this happen before, except for the past two weeks where it's just non-stop.

I'll put it out there, before I start, that I've tried refreshing, as well as reinstalling and clearing my data.


So, it keeps acting like I just installed Firefox: it asks me to log in, it asks me to import passwords and everything from other browsers, it deletes every add-on I have, turns off sync, resets my settings, and then won't connect to any websites.


Right, yeah, it won't connect to any websites, so I need to refresh it to get it to function, which makes me go through the same steps again, so I turn on my sync and can keep going. If I close it and reopen it, it acts like it just wants me to go through import process again.


So, I turn off my computer, reboot it, run Firefox, and it's fine. However, after a few days, the same thing happens. I go through the same process of refreshing it to have it function for another few days, or a day, and then repeat this for two weeks and now I'm here.

Any useful ideas? I'd appreciate it.

iCloud Calendar disruption with Firefox - backspace

Recently I contacted Apple with the unusual issue of not being able to use the "backspace" key in the iCloud Calendar. If I open iCloud for browser and use other Apple iCloud features such as Reminders, then the backspace key works fine. If I open iCloud Calendar then I can no longer use the backspace key.

Here is what we know:

  • I've already opened iCloud in other browsers including Google Chrome, Duck Duck Go, and Edge, and the problem does not exist. It is unique to Firefox.
  • Apple has had a number of users contact them with the same issue and it's beyond the control of Apple.
  • The issue is unique to Firefox running the iCloud for browser interface, specifically for Calendar
  • The delete key works fine if I move the cursor to the left of the text to be removed. It's only the backspace button

When we can see a software patch to resolve this issue?

Whenever I try to drag an attachment from an gmail message to my desktop, instead it copies a shortcut to a url link. I get the same behavior in MS Edge. When I run Chrome in incognito mode, I can drag the attachment to the desktop and it downloads it to the correct location. I've tried running Firefox in troubleshooting mode, and it still doesn't work. I'm using firefox 118.0.2 and Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22000 Build 22000.
