Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Hi, as the title say, I would like to find a way, to trigger the Update the same way by command line as if it would be triggered by the automatic mechanism or the user in "about Firefox".

The reason is, that we´ve recently mass activated automatic updates and I would like to test on 100+ machines without relying on users action.

Thanks

How to chose from multiple saved accounts and passwords for basic auth?

I have my webserver "example.com" configured to ask for basic auth credentials on different paths, like "example.com/siteA" and "example.com/siteB". Login and username are different for "siteA" and "siteB".

Firefox will gladly save both sets of username and password when I type them in and login, but unlike with website login forms like Wordpress, there is no built-in way to select an account in this "native" login popup (see attached screenshot).

I could not find a way to edit my stored passwords to distinguish by path, it only stores the host/domain name "example.com".

Is there something I missed or is this currently not supported?

Firefox update and permissions errors

The update which was released recently, 130.0 (64-bit) is causing issues across my company. Those who've installed it via the Microsoft Store or had an admin manually install it are unable to launch Firefox, with an "application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022) pop up that appears several times when it is closed and Firefox never opens.

Under About Firefox, I see an error that it is "unable to check for update due to an internal error".


I've been able to get Firefox to install by completely removing it and installing with the EXE as an admin. However when I do I am unable to restore my user's Bookmarks from the JSON file as regardless where that file is, Firefox claims it does not have permission to access the file. The same occurs if attempting to upload a file, Firefox again claims a permissions error. Finally if you download a file, you cannot launch it from the Firefox toolbar, again because of permissions.

The files are in folders that all users have access to, I have confirmed that the user account, SYSTEM and Authenticated Users all have access to the folders the files reside in. I would upload screenshots, but as mentioned Firefox doesn't have permission to do so.

Thank you, Jeremy Hellstrom

Changing tabs unloads and (sometimes) reloads images

Firefox has quite recently started showing a new and very annoying behaviour.

When I have multiple tabs open with image files, Firefox will randomly unload the images when I switch between tabs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when and why. In one instance I may be able to go through 10 tabs without an issue, and in other instances it will unload and have to reload images multiple times, even if I am only switching between two tabs.

Sometimes the images will reload automatically a couple of seconds after switching to a new tab, and other times the image will not reload unless I navigate away to a different website and then hit the back button to return to the image. In either case, it's extremely aggravating when looking back and forth between two images in different tabs to compare differences when they reload every single time I switch between them.

This only seems to happen with image files. I can have any number of web pages open in different tabs and they will not unload, but if the address points directly to an image it exhibits this behaviour.

I have already looked for solutions and tried disabling the 'browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory' option through the 'about:config' menu, but this has no effect on the behaviour at all. It continues to unload images when this option is set to 'false'.

This behaviour is a very recent change from how Firefox usually works, so I'm assuming that it's something to do with the latest update(s). I've only noticed it happening in the past couple of weeks, though I don't remember exactly when in that timeframe the problem first appeared.

Looking for any possible solutions or options that I might try to correct this.

I have tried repeatedly and failed. At the point where I select the backup file as per the instructions, I dont get a confimation of success or failure, which leaves me in doubt if I have done the recovery correctly. When I come to look at the bookmarks, nothing happens. The bookmarks and the software to open them are not connecting. Can you help?

Developer Tools "open request in new window" discards cookies

I am debugging a Web page that performs several AJAX requests.

To this effect I sometimes find it convenient to reissue an AJAX request (from the Network pane of Development Tools, right click + "Resend") and would find it even more convenient to open the request in a separated tab, as was possible until, if I recall correctly, four or five months ago.

Now the latter option does not work, likely because of some security tightening - the "new request" might be seen as a different context, I don't know. The AJAX endpoint receives no cookies, so it can't load the appropriate state, and restarts as a blank slate with a new cookie, which makes the reply useless to me. Even worse, at this point the new cookie value is propagated to the originating window, effectively crashing the entire debugging session.

Is there some way of disabling this option and reverting it to the older, less secure behaviour, on my own development Firefox only?

Well I was trying to pay my bills and I couldn't pay PGE as it says its not supported. Tehn I go to pay my Xfinity and Access Denied popped up.. What the hey is going on that these companies wont support Firefox? I hate Google. I've been paying my bill on the Firefox platform for years. This is frustrating. Are you able to help. The last time I was able to speak with a human who walked me through the back end and I'm sure we went to settings but I'm not that skilled.

i've been using JetInsight.com for more than 18 months. it is bookmarked. suddenly, it will not operate in firefox. it used to automatically log me in, now it asks for a login, but never even gets past that to ask for a passwork.

this website continues to work in chrome, safari and edge, on the same PC as well as my other devices (ipad, iphone) - but not with firefox. no other website, bookmarked or otherwise has this issue. i've cleared all cookies and history. nothing has fixed this.

what can i do?
