Firefox Support Forum

This green cursor does nothing, it just blinks, it's always there. I researched it, but while there were references to it, most replies misunderstood the issue. The cursor just sits there and blinks in the upper left. I only have a few add-ons, and all are recommended by Mozilla, no issues with them. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks.

I accidentally visited a bogus website instead of the legitimate UK Companies House website.

I should have gone to companieshouse.gov.uk but ended up at companieshouse.org.uk which is an escort site! (Yeah, no, it wasn't what I was looking for, OK?!)

But now I cannot get rid of the bogus address and it autofills every time I start typing "companies".

I have deleted it from History, but it still appears.

According to searches I've done, I should be able to go to tools/ settings/ privacy and security/ forms and autofill where I would be able to delete it, but Firefox 106.0.1 now only gives me the option to change saved credit card details.

So where do I find the location that this is saved so I can get rid of it.

PS No, I do *not* want to wipe all my history/ browsing data etc just to get rid of one fake address!

"You don't have permission to access "http://www.vitacost.com/" on this server. Reference #18.2a18df17.1666654394.409f377"

I DID see similar postings, but I didn't see where I could say "Me Too." So I'm posting separately.

This started in the past few days, the first with a website I've been using for 10 years. No problem with Chrome. I contacted their tech support. A couple of days later it worked okay till this morning (10/24/22). This evening it's off again -- after another software upgrade.

I'm now experiencing this with a second site, which I've also used for at least 10 years with no problems.

I read in a reply or two something about "profiles." I have no idea what this is or where to find them.

Recently got a new computer and most websites will not play videos. Youtube works, Netflix does not (Netflix Error F7701-1003), Reddit video player does not, https://www.pexels.com/videos/ doers not.

I have tried troubleshooting mode, reinstalling firefox, have made sure it is up to date, cleared cache, and I'm not using any addons.

These videos work in Edge so I don't think it's my drivers (checked that they are up to date).

I think I accidentally changed the proxy settings on Firefox for Mac V. 106.0.1. I get an error message with most websites now, including all Google sites, stating

"Secure Connection Failed. An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." Please advise..

Hi, using Firefox 106 on Windows 10. I'd like to disable the recent new 'feature' where, if I type a right-arrow > into the address bar, it goes into something called "actions". Can anyone help? Many thanks.

I have to access a secure intranet through my work. It is something I am required to access every single day. It is currently giving me a "Server Not Found" message, although I'm able to access the website easily through Chrome and even Microsoft Edge. I desperately do not want to switch to these browsers but will if this isn't resolved! Please help!!

WHEN I CREATE A SHORT CUT EXAMPLE TO MY BANK "NSB" THE ICON IS FF NOT THE BANKS... THE SHORTCUT WORKS ONLY I HAVE A LOT OF FF ICONS ON MY DESKTOP AND IT MAKES HAVING A SHORT CUT TO BUSINESS ENTITIES LESS USABLE... DO U HAVE A FIX??? THANKS FOR ANY HELP...

Is it possible to request a feature for Firefox called "Link to Highlight"?

Chromium based browsers have a feature where you can make a selection of text on a webpage and in the right click context menu select: "Copy link to highlight", which copies a link to the webpage, with an appended selection like so: "#:~:text=Steps%20to%20reproduce%20the%20issue%3A". Then when the link is clicked, the Chromium based browser would scroll down to the match of the text, flash a colour to show where it is, and tint the text with a subtle highlight. The text in this example would then be "Steps to reproduce the issue.". This helps in my workflow when using a browser, so this feature would make me super happy.

Sometimes when I open Firefox, a new tab opens with the Bing search page. This happens irregularly, but I'd guess perhaps once a month or so.

I have Firefox configured to remember my previous session, and I always have tabs left over from the previous session. So I never see the homepage, but my homepage and new tab page are both configured to be "Firefox Home (default)".

I'm on Windows 10. I have checked my homepage config, about:addons and Installed Programs; there is no mention of Bing. When I type in the Firefox address bar or the search bar, the search uses Google, as I expect.

Any idea why I occasionally get bing.com opening up in a tab when I launch Firefox?

Hello,

I believe the following to be a deficiency in Privacy and Security settings under 'Clear History when Firefox Closes' is selected.

My Environment: Windows 10 Pro (21H2 Os Build: 19044.2130), Firefox 106.0.1 Note: This problem/issue has been present for many versions prior to the versions listed.

Problem Description: Under Settings - Privacy and Security - History, I have Clear history when Firefox closes selected. When I restart Firefox and check History under the Menu bar there is no History as one would expect.

However, I also have dragged the Firefox icon down to the Windows Task bar and use that icon as a shortcut to start Firefox in both normal and private modes. The issue here is upon right clicking that icon there is a huge list of previous websites listed under 'Recent'. If you have the settings described above there should be NO history showing. This is a significant Privacy issue and should be covered when the above settings are selected.

So, this should be corrected in a future update. In the meantime where does one go to delete this cache of saved websites for Firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

No idea who is gonna respond on this but hope someone can help..

Well, I have applied all the options about proxy settings with the same result of long time for opening websites when first start of firefox. During these months I took notice to the one point, i.e. if I open website using firefox in the earlier morning there is no problem with the speed of opening as well as if I open another browser of edge the last one opens website without any delay. So the challenge of long time opening websites when the first start of firefox is still in force. How to resolve this?

Whenever I increase the zoom level above 100%, the level indication in the search box/bar is not aligned properly, i.e. not centered in the box -see attached screenshot.

I know it is not really essential, but it disturbs me to see the misalignment, so is there anything i can do to adjust this.

I use Linux Mint 21 but have also seen the same behavior in Windows 10.

How do I remove this crap tab list? I don't want that option, Firefox just updated and added it as a fixed function. Honestly it seems that the Firefox development team does not care about the interests of users, currently I need to use 2 browsers because one of them does not have an option to create shortcuts to the sites I frequent
