Hi everyone,

I do a lot of downloading images in bulk for my neocities website and its really helpful for me to be bale to drag an image from say, tumblr, to my neocities tab and just drop it into the download box. I love Firefox but I couldn't find a way to use this feature, so I downloaded the QuickDrag WE extension, which allows me to drag and drop images from duckduckgo images, but not tumblr.

(for info I'm using Windows 11)

Would love to have some help on this! Thank you Kit

Recently I set up mTLS on my admin endpoint. I tried entering it as an API on the other website, and in Firefox it wouldn't work. But if I'd try to access endpoint directly it would work, and even save my certificate choice. In Chrome, everything works just fine with both direct and API access. It is not a problem of a website, nor the problem of the OPTIONS preflight, since both of those are configured correctly on my nginx.

Firefox has "Open previous windows and tabs" ticked in Settings. I had to force restart MacOS, and upon starting Firefox again my existing windows are invisible. They are shown in the Window menu and when right-clicking the Firefox icon in the MacOS dock, however when I select one of the windows it does not become visible. Command+` does not show the windows either.

I can however open new windows.

I tried renaming xulstore.json per this old article with no effect.

How can I make the existing windows visible again?

Tabs sharing over local network even though Sync is disabled

Hello, I have multiple devices using Firefox on the same network, and whenever using them at the same time, I get an additional Firefox icon in my doc which will open whatever tab is up on the other device. I was not signed in to any account on either device, yet it is still sharing tab data across devices.

I then created an account and signed in on one device and disabled every Sync option I could find, but still the sharing is enabled over local network. How do I disable this so there is no communication between the two devices?

Device 1 - MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) macOS Monterey 12.7.6 Firefox Version 149.0.2

Device 2 - MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2023 macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Firefox Version 149.0.2 Local Network access disabled for Firefox in macOS settings

It doesn't seem like this should even be possible given that local network access is disabled for the one device, and neither device is logged into a mozilla account.

Can someone please help me disable this functionality?

Template literal not resolving as expected

I have a directory structure

C:

   Gustafson
       Website
           ⋮
           scripts
               global.js
               ⋮
           ⋮
           TestDirectory
               baseUrl_test.html
           ⋮

In the <head> of a webpage, I determine a baseUrl for the page using the following:

 <script>
   // assumes website topmost directory is "Website""
   ( async ( ) => {
     const segments = document.documentURI.split ( "/");
     const index = segments.findIndex ( element => 
                                        element == "Website" );
     if ( index < 0 )
       {
       throw new TypeError ( 
                 "Website structure not constructed correctly" );
       }
     segments.length = index + 1;
     let path = segments.join ( "/" );
     path += "/";
     window.baseUrl = path;
     console.log(`${baseUrl}`);
     } ) ( );
 </script>

The console log displays

file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/

In the body is

 <script>
   console.log ( `${baseUrl}scripts/global.js` );
 </script>
 <script src=`${baseUrl}scripts/global.js`></script>
 <script>
 window.onload = 
   function ( )
     {
     Global.initialize_globals ( );
     };
 </script>

The console log displays

file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/scripts/global.js Loading failed for the <script> with source “file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/TestDirectory/%60$%7BbaseUrl%7Dscripts/global.js%60”. Uncaught ReferenceError: Global is not defined

   onload file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/TestDirectory/baseUrl_test.html:37
   EventHandlerNonNull* file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/TestDirectory/baseUrl_test.html:34

The problem is the console.log displays what is expected but the src= is using something totally different.

I am unable to download large files from an MS Sharepoint account in Firefox. Small files are fine (less than 100MB). Large files download fine if I use MS Edge browser but I don't want to have to use Edge unless absolutely necessary. Using Firefox Troubleshoot mode doesn't help. Clearing the cach/cookies etc doesn't help. When downloading a 600MB file, the download repeatably fails around 90-100MB. My OS is Linux Mint xfce64. Obviously MS doesn't like firefox for some reason, even in Troubleshoot mode. thanks in advance for any help.

No Bookmarks (which are shown as imported from Chrome, almost 163 number of Bookmarks) are visible anywhere in Firefox. They are neither stored in the Bookmarks Tool Bar nor in any folder named Imported from Chrome. This is the situation. Uninstalled Firefox, removed all Folders (including the ones in hidden folders) and cleaned the Registry. Restarted the PC, reinstalled Firefox directly from the firefox site online, tried importing the Bookmarks from Chrome after restarting on installation of Firefox. Saved All passwords from Chrome as a CSV file (a Firefox requirement) and tried importing Bookmarks from Chrome along with the Passwords from the CSV file saved on Desktop. Again, the importing showed 163 Nos. of Bookmarks are imported. But on restarting Firefox, no bookmark could be found. Neither in the Bookmarks toolbar nor in any folder named with any name. My Bookmarks toolbar is checked as Always visible. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW TO MAKE THE FIREFOX WORK as in the previous version. This kind of an error has crept only after updating Firefox to v150.0.1.

Running Firefox in Kinoite - whenever I set a page to Reader view it is blank.

I have restarted in troubleshooting mode and it works, so I followed all the steps to try to identify what the problem is but nothing has worked.

I tried:

- Troubleshooting mode - worked - Disabling hardware acceleration - did not work - Disabled all extensions - did not work - Switched to default theme - did not work

Anyone any ideas?

TIA
