I get the above message after I access my bank web site login page, then enter my credentials. I do not have this issue on any other browser and or my phone app. I have cleared all cookies and website data, as well as tried in the in the private window mode. Any suggestions? The particular bank is citizens. I am able to access other banking sites as well from Firefox. Currently running version 99.0.1 64bit

I use Firefox as the browser for my email. Recently I have been unable to open or download pdf attachments (or any attachment) to emails. When I click on the attachment I get the message javascript:void(0).

I contacted the email company who said there was no problem at their end and that the problem was with Firefox and pop up blockers. I followed the advice in the attachment to unblock for my email account - but this did not solve the problem.

So I then tried Edge for my emails and I can open attachments in Edge.

So the problem is with Firefox.

Any advice please? Thanks

With this new FF version it's now taking 2+ minutes to load FF. Yes, 2 minutes to load this thing. A problem I didn't have with the previous version. I've read the support forum for this problem and tried everything noted. I've removed and reinstalled FF twice now, restarted the PC multiple times. I have 4GB of memory which is the same PC configuration for this PC for the last 4 yrs. No new programs, no issues with anything else on this PC so this is a FF issue. Note that once FF has loaded it functions fine - no slowness at all.

Nothing helps with loading this FF version. This is disappointing and it's become enough of an issue to find a different browser to work with, which I hate to do but my patience has run the full gambit with the version of FF. And yes Google Chrome, MS Edge and Opera open within a few seconds, which Firefox used to.

This is a self-hosted extension, that initially seemed to be updating. Using File > Open, the current installed version is 1.8.61

In the approved extension's (1.8.61) manifest:

 "browser_specific_settings": {
   "gecko": {
     "id": "fasty@a_domain.com",
     "update_url": "https://a_domain.com/appextension/updates.json"
   }
 },

After tapping Check For Updates, I can see the following in Browser Console:

11:28:34.044 XHR GET https://a_domain.com/appextension/updates.json [HTTP/2 200 OK 254ms] 11:28:34.201 1651073314201 addons.update-checker DEBUG Found an update entry for fasty@a_domain.com version 1.8.61 11:28:34.201 1651073314201 addons.update-checker DEBUG Found an update entry for fasty@a_domain.com version 1.8.7

Here is where the issue gets interesting. Having downloaded all the xpi files, supposedly signed, today while attempting to manually install a newer version, Firefox oftentimes complains "This add-on could not be installed because it has not been verified." The Console reports:

12:06:36.478 1651075596478 addons.xpi WARN Download of https://a_domain.com/appextension/fasty-1.8.7-fx.xpi failed: signature is required but missing

According to the Developer Hub, the resulting xpi has been signed.

I don't know what to try to get automatic updates to work. Please suggest.

FredMcD you asked if I could post a link to the Map . . this is the link to the page that has the map. Normally it would simply pop up as Elk Grove Village as that is the website this is in, but it does not and I can not enter the name of the city in the box provided. The map is at the bottom of this page.

I'm running Firefox 99.0.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. Recently (I think since I updated to Ubuntu 22.04 about a week ago), Firefox has been refusing to show me file upload dialogs. When I click a button that's supposed to give me one, nothing happens.

This has been happening with: - The "attach files" button in Gmail - A file upload button on Gradescope (website for managing homework assignments) - File -> Open File... and Ctrl+O.

Dragging and dropping a file onto an email in Gmail does attach the file -- it's just that the button doesn't work.

I've tried restarting, and I've tried running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode -- so far nothing has fixed the problem. What else should I do?

Often when browsing I find that when i want to use spacebar it does something i don't want it to do, which is advance the page downwards, like the "page down" button. I'd like to change that to something else, like maybe the page down key. Thanks.

Grammarly.com is not letting me log in because the continue bar keeps loading. It won't let me enter my email and press enter, nor is autofill working. I've contacted them, but the solutions they're telling me to do have had no success. I've already disabled other extensions to see if that was the problem, but it wasn't. I cleared cache and cookies, and I've also removed the autofill option as well. My firefox is up to date.

Some response buttons are not working in Firefox and Chrome. Apparently you are seeing my laptop as a tablet. Please fix . . don't want have to switch browser. It's not a blocker, it's not a tracker. Sometimes refreshing the page activates the button. And the whole Firefox program appears to running slower. Thanks

Hello,

The pop-up blocker exceptions are not working for some sites which I, of course, use a lot. The sites are listed in the exceptions, but Firefox stubbornly continues to block them. I sincerly consider walking away from Firefox (notwithstanding I love it and being a long term user), because it happens with sites I frequently use on a daily base.

I've looked around but none of the solutions work for me as those articles are rather old.

My version of Firefox: 99.0.1 (64bit) running under Windows 10 Pro

Hoping to find a solution here.

Hi - I have an affiliate marketing business which uses deeplinks to take my visitors to specific product pages on third party websites. These work fine in Google Chrome but on Firefox the deeplink goes to the website homepage only. Does anyone know what I can do about this? thanks Gina

Hello

I do not understand how firefox sync is supposed to work. I have a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is FF 85 on Linux Mint (I cannot get a later version due to some querk) The laptop is 99 on Windows 10 Both are signed in to sync but my bookmarks were scrambled so I signed out the laptop and cleared the profile, cleaned up the bookmarks in the desktop and to be safe I tried just syncing the tabs, not the bookmarks, by opening the fresh firefox on the laptop and signing in again. In the sidebar under my account icon I clicked "Synchronise now" and the open tabs from my desktop appeared in a list underneath, jumbled up. (I have 2 separate windows open on the desktop with different tabs in each, but this separation was not followed either, there didn’t seem to be any provision for syncing tabs in two separate windows)

But the row of tabs didn’t open, all I can do is open them one by one from the list on the right, this is a slow process as every time I click on a tab in the list the new page opens in the same single tab, not a new one, but the sidebar closes again.

Is this what’s supposed to happen? I was expecting the synced row of tabs to open automatically.

This feature would have been useful as my OS on the desktop, (Linux Mint) tends to crash and to have the on the laptop would be a good backup.

Incidentally the other way I try to back up the lost tabs is to select them all and bookmark them to a new folder which I call “backup” but it seems this doesn’t necessarily duplicate them, which I would prefer, so any of the open tabs that were previously bookmarked risk being removed from the original bookmarked folder, without my noticing, and I am therefore reluctant to delete the backup folder without checking that it doesn’t contain the only bookmark of a page.

When I came back to syncing the bookmarks, how do I avoid them getting scrambled again?

I want to drag a URL to a specific Bookmarks Folder I have (located in the extended bookmarks list (accessed by the double arrow at the far right) but every time I try, the extended list disappears when I try to carry the dragged URL onto it. I can't even select a bookmark in tehe extended list and drag it into a folder from there like I used to be able to do. Please help.

When I type in the main firefox pane I sometimes get the search bar popping, cf the discussions 4 years ago. No idea why, I haven't added any addons. Maddening. It's not doing it now or i couldn't have sent this.

I had to reinstall windows. I do not remember my Firefox account password but I do have a recovery key, which I generated and kept safe for just this type of situation. I can not find recent info on how do I use it to recover my data? Going through the password reset procedure I see nowhere to enter the recovery key

Thanks

How do I stop this BS? I have several hundred pages bookmarked, and now after the last time I allowed firefox to update, I am unable to access 90% of them as I get the above message.

I would hope that I don't have to change browsers as all of the others I am aware of suck.
