Firefox Community Forum

Firefox is telling me I can't use the JUB site because it's embedded, I don't know what that means? I've been using the site for over a year and I've never had a problem with Firefox. All of a sudden I'm having issues. I want to resolve this because I want to continue to use this site.

How can i set a local image instead of a link? If i use a local storage path, it just gives an error: "Valid URL required". EDIT: found out that the folder: C:\Users\moder\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXXX.default-release\thumbnails is being cleared when the browser is closed, despite the options to clear exclude cache. Can this be assumed as a bug?

I've been trying to sign in to pinterest, duolingo, etc using the 'sign in with google' option since my account was saved there. Whenever I click it, a sign in window opens up as usual, but it only ever shows a blank screen. No matter how long I wait, nothing shows up. I tried clearing cache, and it still didn't work. It worked before, but recently since the past 2 weeks, it became like this and I don't know how to fix it.

I have some extensions on my account so I'll list them out just in case one of them is the one making this problem: -Search by Image -Firefox Relay -uBlock Origin -DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials -TWP - Translate Between Pages -Ecosia

(Below is a screenshot showing what I mean by the sign in window being a blank screen.)

the preference "browser.contentblocking.category" does still work although it isn't existing in the about:config settings anymore(was removed as it seems) but how and why does it still work?

Using the menu line, if I click Bookmark>bookmark current tab, it used to bring up a box where I could edit the tab name and location of where to save that tab. Now, in Dec 2023, it bookmarks it but does not bring up this box. In order to see where the bookmark is, I have to again select Bookmark, EDIT this bookmark. Is there a setting I need to now adjust to bring up that box when bookmarking for the first time? I have W10 and updated Firefox.

Hello,

On the webpage https://www.drivethrurpg.com/pub_tools.php Firefox breaks. Image here for reference: https://imgur.com/a/382kw9L. The area in red in the first image is an error.

From the console I saw that the website is shifted to Quirks Mode.

From a discussion with their support they said that this is a Firefox issue, as the website does indeed work fine in Chrome and Edge.

Not sure why this is triggering Quirks Mode.

In the same imgur album (above) you can see that the page has a proper doctype HTML header.

Any ideas?

Hi!

I'm on a newer laptop with an AMD CPU (with its own integrated GPU) and an Nvidia GPU.

When changing Firefox to "High performance" mode in the Windows 11 settings (System > Display > Graphics), it is said to use the dedicated Nvidia GPU. However, to my surprise, this is noticeably more stuttery and laggy than having it use only the integrated AMD GPU ("Power saving" mode).

Additionally, Firefox's hardware acceleration (General > Performance) is set to "use recommended", and my Windows 11 Power mode (System > Power & Battery) is set to Balanced.

I was wondering what the best way to configure all these settings is, such that it takes advantage of my hardware as much as possible? I wish to understand more than simply switching options until Firefox looks the smoothest to my eye --- what do these settings actually do, and how should they be configured idealistically?

I also sometimes run Linux, where things are a bit more complicated (e.g. Nouveau vs proprietary drivers, PRIME, etc) so I understand if the answer is less certain in that environment, but any info for it would be great as well.

Thanks!

I just wanted to remove NAME from downloaded file list NOT the file from hard drive. How to restore file deleted from the DOWNLOADS page ?

• Would be NICE if deleted files were moved to Recycle Bin to be able to be restored.

I've spent many hours trying to fix this problem. When I click on a document that I want to view, it is downloading to my computer. I have the latest version of firefox on a windows 11 pc. Please assist.

tell me how to undo "troubleshoot mode", read the "help" article, do not understand.

tell me how to undo the "More from Mozilla" in about:preferences. I have NO idea.

I try, but I am usually confused by these help articles.

Ever since I loaded 120.0.1 (64 bit) I have had problems accessing numerous sites. For example, https//HOn30.org. FIrst I get several "Having trouble ..." messages, and when it does come up it's a blank screen. I have had this happen wtih Library of Congree, eBay, and most sites from linking within another web site. I have tried playing with the "HTTPS mode" and the "DNS over HTTPS" to no avail. What changed with this version and how do I fix it. Win10 Sp1 64bit Dual Xeon E5 CPUs 128gb RAM nVidia Quadro K5200 w/8gb VRAM C: = 1tb CT1024 SSD (Crucial) D: = 2tb 7200 rpm WD E: = 5tb SSD (Samsung) F: = 1.5tb Seagate (can you tell I used to be tech support?) Thanks Bert

learning windows 10 - closed a window retrieved from the taskbar - can i get it back with its 49 tabs? i can get an active window showing the recent files i was working with, and i can open ONE of the tabs ("one document") - went too fast i guess. thanks for any response. hope i did the "share data" for you properly.

Firefox on my mac has recently started displaying strange text in any windows where the browser itself chooses the font. I verified that the font settings are default, and the issue persists. Screenshots attached, any ideas?

Only my mac has this issue, my iPhone, as well as two Windows PCs all on the same account do not present with this.

The File -> Page setup option used to be visible by default. Now I have to dig into the "hazardous" about:config menu to enable it. This was available by default for years (decades?). Why is it now hidden away from average uses who may not need or want to mess with the custom prefs? Feels like Firefox is becoming more difficult to use rather than easier.

print.prefer_system_dialog and print.show_page_setup_menu seem like really basic features that the average user would want by default. Both require a trip into about:config now.

I just tried to connect to YouTube & get "You're offline. Check your connection." I assume this is due to a DoH connection issue. I can connect in Chrome. My Firefox Mozilla Connection Settings are "Use system proxy settings", though I have set this to "No proxy" in an attempt to fix this - didn't help.

Under Privacy & Security: "Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows", "Enable secure DNS using: Increased Protection" - tried "Default Protection" - no help. Using Cloudflare default.

It has been a few months since I tried YouTube - not sure what's up. It works in Firefox on my phone..

If I copy text from any website (I am using Firefox 120.0.1 (64-bit) and paste it into either Outlook 365 (email) or Word 365, it is always in "Calibri (Body)" & "Calibri Light" with size "11"?

I would prefer "Times New Roman" and "12".

After inputting my master passwords, the browser only loads 16 of the 100+ passwords I had stored with it.

I am able to access them through the deprecated Lockwise app I have on my phone but they won't load on my desktop browser, even after doing a sync on my Firefox profile.

Is there a way to recover the lost passwords?

Hello,

I just up-dated to iOS Sonoma 14.2 (I know, I should have waited a month...) and now my system menu bar disappears, whenever I'm in Firefox. It's there where it should be, all the rest of the time--every other app I've tried so far.

Some kind of new incompatibility? Anyone know how to make my system menu bar stay put? It's not the end of the world, since I can just switch apps to make it come back, but I rely on many of my menu bar icons for on-going data (e.g., the clock, timers) and I'm in Firefox a lot. So being data/status blind while using it isn't great.

Thanks!
