Hello. Why nexusmods.com and loverslab.com are blocked (Secure Connection Failed) on my FireFox Dev Edition 150.0b6 (auto updates)? It bothers me to use it as a default browser. Both nexusmods.com and loverslab.com are ping well and work fine on any other browsers.

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.

stop unwanted pop ups dev FF w11

Hello: FF dev 150b5,w11p. With this v 150 there's a new irritant that I would like to stop, please. That's the sudden (starting w/v150 again) appearance on lower L corner, of a popup window, which may be interactive. That is, this thing is so new I can't say more about it except that I didn't change anything to make this thing appear, & this didn't happen in prev.versions.

I looked in settings & the only thing on keyword "popup" goes to, in "search results", is: "block popups & 3rd party redirects." I already had that choice checked from previous versions (that is, do block). But this new popup appeared (unasked) anyway.

Is there an extension that will stop these? If so, what keyword(s) do I put into the "search extensions" box to find the extension(s)?

Also, w/this new "wonder" of unasked-for popups -- is this another "coming w/AI" feature I will have to live with?

I did a search here on "popups" before posting,but came up w/nothing relevant.

Thank you.

Firefox reports that my theme is dark no matter what if I set it to _Automatic_. This results on any website that follows the CSS rule to prefer system theme to also be in dark mode. The only way I can get Firefox to use _Light_ is to manually select that option.

I have observed this behavior on MacOS Sequioa and also Tahoe (after a clean install). Other browsers I tested (Chrome, Safari) are not impacted by this behavior.

I've had an ongoing issue with Firefox now for several months since upgrading to windows 11. When I try to copy text, or images, url's or anything really that is supposed to go to the clipboard, it copies a blank text with no data instead. I can copy text and images from other programs and even paste them into text fields on Firefox but I can't copy from Firefox to anything else and it's frustrating.

I recently got forced into upgrading Outlook in windows and hated it so I started using Thunderbird and surprisingly, I have the exact same issue there as well.

I have tried: Running Firefox in safe mode (Shift + Left Click) Resetting Firefox Switching Back to default themes Disabling hardware acceleration Updating to the latest Beta Build (v126) Running Firefox Developer edition

I really want to get this fixed and working, I don't want to have to switch to another browser =/.

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I am contacting you regarding my Firefox account, which is currently registered with my ProtonMail email address that I no longer have access to.

Unfortunately, my ProtonMail account has been permanently disabled, and I am unable to receive any verification emails.

I would like to request your assistance in updating my account email address to a new one.

I can confirm that I am the rightful owner of the account and I am willing to provide any information necessary to verify my identity, such as:

Previous account details Login activity Devices used Any additional verification you may require

Additionally, I am currently located in Iran, where due to recent internet restrictions and instability, I have had to rely on VPN services, which may have contributed to unusual activity patterns.

I would really appreciate any help or alternative verification process you can provide in this situation.

New email address: intelligentquantum@gmail.com

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, Hamed

Hi everyone, I've been experiencing a persistent issue where my Firefox (Windows 10) randomly crashes or closes. I recently noticed that this always happens when a JSON file appears in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution The strange thing is that this file shouldn't even be there, as this is my personal computer and it is not managed by any organization. I have already tried deleting or renaming the file, but after a seemingly random period, it gets recreated automatically. Here’s what I have tried so far, without success: - Deleting/renaming the file - Checking the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox (but the "Mozilla" folder does not exist there) - I have never used any third-party antivirus software (only Windows Defender) Does anyone have an idea where this file might be coming from or how I can prevent it from being recreated? I’m not very tech-savvy, so I would greatly appreciate simple explanations or step-by-step instructions. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm trying to watch videos on Disney plus and Amazon prime. I can't get them to work. I tried various tutorials but many were irrelevant because they referred to google chrome which I don't even have. I tried checking and unchecking the enable DRM checkbox. Widevine never seems to update. I do not know how to install in manually.

Is there a setting to disable product update notifications?

For example, I got a notification on Windows today prompting me to try out Firefox's new split tab view.

I do not want to receive these product update notifications.

I know I can disable notifications in Windows at the OS level, however, this also disables notifications for all websites I have enabled.

Is there an option to disable these?

I have an issue where I go to website and I get a message that the website is temporarily available. I cannot go to a different webpage for what URL I want. I believe this has to do with history. I suspect I can get past this by flushing the history. I can get to the website I want by using a different browser such as chrome. Ho do I fix this?

Whenever I type in a website URL in the search-bar, first of all, the drop-down menu of related searches and websites does not show up. When I press enter to confirm that's where I want to go, nothing happens. The URL just kinda sits there, no loading circle or anything... Just a blank page. Only two of the icons on my toolbar works. The "Account" icon, which takes me to my Firefox settings. And my Extensions icon. Clicking the three little lines does nothing. The only websites i have been able to get to work at all are the settings page, and the Firefox troubleshooting page. I'm using Version 125.0.3, I tried using the browser both with and without hardware acceleration with results being unremarkably the same. I restarted Firefox and my computer multiple times to no avail, and the only thing I could find out of the ordinary was an error with Importing data from Microsoft Edge, which was not something I consciously wanted to do, but there was an error that popped up regarding that when i went to the settings page.

All that being said, I'm confused and at a loss for options, and could really use a Mozilla Staff member or someone who knows what they're doing to work me through this.
