Firefox Support Forum

Hello!

I was just wondering if there was a way to disable the pop-up that appears to confirm the cancellation of an ongoing download ?

I tried searching in the about:config page but didn't find any parameter that looked like it could help me on that.

Thanks in advance!

When I try and open some articles on the BBC new wesite I get the attached message. How can that be resolved please? VPN is off. Error: 410 Gone Your client has made a request for a BBC domain that is no longer hosted on Akamai, but the request was sent to an Akamai IP address. This suggests your client is using a very out-of-date DNS response, or one that has been altered. If you're using VPN software or similar, try disabling it and / or contact your VPN provider's technical support.

Hi my tabs have suddenly disappeared, I restarted but still not there and am unable to find a way to reinstall them? This has never happened before,and is really quite annoying. Feeling frustrated and wasting so much of my time looking for tabs that should be there. Your support and a quick response is very much appreciated :-) Thanks in anticipation Lynda

Every couple of days I get the attached "force quit" pop-up, telling me that I need to close applications to avoid "problems." Everything on my screen becomes inoperable. I run the Firefox task manager, and it says that Firefox is using well under 100 MB (screen shot attached), but that pop-up give a conflicting number of well over 100 GB.

I'm concerned that there is some kind of malware running in the background and causing Firefox to gum up my Mac. There are no help articles on this, and I can't find anything on Google.

I do use Logic Pro X, which is known to gobble up resources. But this particular time, while Logic was open, I hadn't opened a project yet.

I was using a Telehealth app through my electronic medical record that I believe uses Facetime for their back end. But after I signed out of that session, the pop-up appeared again, and again everything stopped working. That is when I took the screen shots.

Hello, I have problem with my Firefox browser. It cannot link over to other sites. An example: when I get mail with a link, I cannot link over. A popup says: "The app cann not be opened- -10673. When I use Safari or Google Chrome it works. Please explain for me how to do. Have a good day! Holger

Using Mac OS 12.4 and Firefox 101.0.1. After launching Firefox, a second icon appears in the "recently used" apps section of the Mac OS dock (see attached screen shot). The icon stays there and goes away, and then comes back, and then goes away, etc. This continues on and on until Firefox is closed.

Why is this happening? Never acted this way before the latest updates.

Hi,

I'm using Firefox browser on my Macbook Air. I was previously able to do the following functions, but have had problems with it for the past few Firefox updates.

1) When I open Gmail in Firefox browser, the paperclip 'attach' button will not open any windows to select a file to attach. I can only drag files into the email to attach them by opening Finder and locating the file. The attachment feature works in other browsers.

2) When I open a PDF file in Firefox browser, it will no longer allow me to download them. I can do this in Chrome and Safari on my Macbook.

I really like using Firefox and don't want to use the other browsers. Can you help with why these problems have started occuring? Thanks.

I have tried all of the suggested solutions here at Mozilla for how to delete a website URL from being autofilled: whenever I type 'pre', the autofill function fills in the rest of the website 'www.preply.com'. It was a horrible ESL teaching scam website, I only taught through it for a month last November then quit when they ripped me off. But now since last November, any time I type in 'pre'–I invariably see their annoying, shitty website :-( It is very annoying because it was a bad employer experience–and now I cannot ever remove them from Firefox :-(

I tried deleting it in the address bar with shift + delete, then also went into some obscure Firefox folder and deleted some file with Firefox closed (this was the supposed "solution"–it did NOT work).

Is there any way to solve this incredibly annoying issue? Or should I just switch to Chrome or Safari and give up? Very disappointed in how impossible Firefox makes deleting autofill URLS, really, REALLY BAD software programming. Any helpful or solution greatly appreciated thx :-)

Firefox: 101.0.1 (64-bit) MacOS Monterey M1Pro MacBook Pro 14"

When I am watching a video from inside firefox, I am unable to exit full screen mode by using the esc key. It was working before and after updating firefox it suddenly stopped.

Please assist

I now continuously get the error message: 'The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to amac.us.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies'

when trying to log in to amac.us or clicking on email embedded links from them. They are a long-trusted site which I sometimes access several times a day and now will not work. Cookies are enabled for them. I even disabled my virus protection and it still gives the error.

Help appreciated.

The Send Tab/Link to Device feature only works in one direction, from iOS to MacOS. iOS to iOS never receives, although the popup says it sent. I'm using Firefox 98 on MacOS and iOS. I have a Windows 10 PC which can't receive or send tabs/links as well but I'll limit it to the Apple devices for the moment.

Sync and notifications are enabled on Laptop, iPhone, and iPad. I've de-synced and re-synced each device separately and together. I've attempted to send between each device separately and all together.

Neither iOS device can receive tabs/links from one another, nor send to each other. Laptop can receive tabs/links from both iPhone and iPad, but not send to either.

Each time I re-sync an iOS device I get a notification on the Laptop saying that "this computer is now connected with Firefox iOS". But still nothing works.

Seems I have same issue as here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1328258

At some point (most of the time it seems after my laptop comes back from a sleep - like when moving back home from the office or when moving with the laptop from my desk into a meeting room), I try to get on a call on google meet and I get "no camera found". Fun stuff at the same time I can access the camera with Chrome with no issue.

Seems a Firefox restart cleans up stuff and makes the camera accessible again, but I even believe I saw this working after I reconnected back from battery to ac.
