Firefox Community Forum

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.

Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

Hello. I am setting up a site on Linux server using Apache as reverse proxy , with ASP.NET as application server . since installing SSL , I had few mixed content blocking that i was managed to fix using CSP directive in Apache configuration file. site has no issue with all browser except Firefox. the only issue is that in admin section , to configure a option. system will load a js file that simply a dropdown with list of options to choose from . when using Firefox , it tries to redirect that page to login page . for test , i clicked on the link i located in Developer tools , which directed me to login page , entered my credentials, and scripts loads showing the drop down box and ok button. is been 3 weeks i been looking for every solution and i have done everything .. but nothing have worked. now I am resort to having to use other browsers if i need to use that functionality in admin page. In page header file name : login , location : http://MYDOMAIN.ca/login?ReturnUrl=%2FAdmin%2FDiscountRulesCustomerRoles%2FConfigure%3FdiscountId%3D6%26_%3D1702682353293 , which are not correct . and browser such as Brave and Safari dose not show different path and file name and everything is correct. dose anyone know how to fix this .. ? i saw a solution mentioned as stated resting Firefox ,but can not find a way to reset , but i have reinstalled Firefox and constantly having this issue on this single section of the page . Thanks.

I have searched Firefox, my browser, ATT Yahoo mail, and I cannot find the source of this message & how to get rid of it. I realize it is some kind of security app but I haven't been having issues with my email that haven't been addressed quickly. I use security programs that seem to work well, so this added app or whatever it is does not work well for me. PLEASE HOW DO I GET RED OF IT? I will be eternally grateful if you can help me or direct me to someone who can. I have tried CHAT but it won't allow me to paste a picture of this message. I've looked for a support phone number that can help, but I can't find one.

Thank you, Pat Smart spendrift1@prodigy.net

When opening Netflix or Amazon Prime in Firefox 143.0.4 (64-bit) my display shuts off. This does not happen when viewing other video websites like Twitch or Youtube.

I can switch to another display port on my video card to get my display back, however, if I go back to either of those websites and login my display shuts off again. This does not happen in other browsers; I have tested Chrome and Brave. I have disabled hardware acceleration with no change in behavior. I have reset the settings of my browser with no change in behavior. I have disabled and re-enabled the privacy setting "Play DRM controlled content" with no change in behavior.

Why is Firefox shutting off my display when going to these websites?

I've been using profiles for a while after switching to firefox from chrome as my main browser. I was excited to see the profile manager finally come out so it would be easier to switch between them. However, only one of my profiles is showing up. The other one is not there, so I still have to use the old method to switch over to it. How can I get my other profile to show up in the profile manager?

In Mozilla is it possible to use just 1 account to sync for multiple profiles just like the workspaces in Microsoft Edge ? or is anything similar is on development right now ?

If anyone knows about this, please do reply 🙏 Thank you!

i used to be able to scroll down in full screen and with the new version i can't and i used to be able to see the queue list and now i can't !!

How can i get the older version cause this one i really don't like

I have a Firefox account that I've signed into on both my work computer and my home computer, but after logging in on my home computer, it's unable to sync bookmarks from the account.

heres what the error page says:

cookies are enabled, i whitelisted google and youtube, i clear cache. the only thing that works is if i clear cookies for youtube, but then i have to sign in again. and this is reset next time i open firefox.

Just upgraded one computer to Firefox v143.0.1 and now familysearch.org is very slow and will not load hints. v142.0.1 is still on my other computer and familysearch.org works normally. Within familysearch, I can click on a hint and a pane opens on the right. It normally populates within a second or two at most. With v143.0.1, it takes a minute to partially populate, then it goes no further. With v142.0.1 it works normally. I've disabled add-ons. Cleared cache. Deleted TEMP files. Restarted browser. Restarted computer. Nothing has worked. Previous upgrades over the years have not had this issue. Other browsers (Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge, SeaMonkey) do not have this issue. Attaching a picture of this page: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/G4QP-T3S A free familysearch account is required to see it--only an e-mail address is required. The right pane has been trying to load for over 4 hours at this point. Normally takes about 2 seconds.

Could this be due to a Firefox update, extension (e.g. LastPass), or syncing?

I’ve noticed in Firefox Password Manager that a large number of saved logins all show the same “last used/updated” date in the past (e.g. July 2020). This includes websites that I know I did not visit or log into at that time.

I am now in a situation where I’m being accused of attempting to access a site on that specific date, but I strongly believe I did not.

Can anyone clarify whether this behaviour could be explained by something like:

- A Firefox update,

- The installation or update of a browser extension (such as LastPass), or

- A syncing/importing process that might change timestamps for multiple entries at once?

I’ve attached screenshots from Firefox to show how this appears....there are LOTS of sites that have this date on them, not just the one that I am being accused of trying to access.

Any insight into why these “used/updated” dates might change in bulk would be extremely helpful.

Finding conflicting answers when Google searching (not counting irrelevant results), so I thought I'd try asking here. Is there any safe or reliable extension or setting tweak available for Firefox that would automatically make it so YouTube Shorts play with the regular YouTube video player (ie. Replace "/shorts/" in url with "/watch?v=")?

I use a portal for work and am required to download a variety of documents for specific tasks. When I download certain documents, predominantly Word documents, they are saved with a file name that ends with the word attachment, e.g. 'abcd.docx,attachment'

This does not happen with any other browsers that I use and I know the obvious answer is to use those but I'm interested as to whether anybody else has had this problem and whether they have found a solution?

Multiple extensions are added and enabled yet only 3 of them are displayed on the menu that is displayed when clicked on the extension icon on the tool bar.

Version 144.0.2 (64-bit) Firefox is up to date

Several weeks ago, Mozilla completely reset my Firefox. Removed my addons, reset my settings in about

config. I had previously changed a lot of things, specifically stopped all videos and things moving on my page. I searched the net, and changed a few things, but I still have things moving on my pages. Thanks, Mozilla, Brave is looking better everyday. Win7 115.30 oesr I am not happy. How do I send a message right to Mozilla, Hidden and impossible.

I've ALL Mac. Desktop, laptop, i-pad, i-phone - oh, and I've got a Lenova for an exercise program that's in the mix. I can't seem to get any syncing done. I see notices that it's happened, but the tabs on none of the devices line up. I also tried syncing with/to/from my iphone. I got you QR Code and had to use the Iphone camera to scan it in. I got a message that I have to do it from within Firefox - but all I can get there is something KROLL. And that's an internet URL/page. I can't find a way to scan the QR code with that app hogging my screen. I've attempted to scroll/dump that tab but when I open up Firefox again...it's still there.

I have an old website I no longer use, but my former employee and his family have email addresses on it so I've left it up. The domain is sangelproperties.com - There are 4 pop3 email addresses set up. The WHOLE family accesses email via the web interface at sangelproperties.com/webmail (which redirects to port # based address). His wife and two daughters can login in no problem. But HIS gets rejected (user name or pw wrong). He's typed the pw in, copy and pasted, I've changed it for him to be sure it's right, etc. etc. etc. That said, I asked him to try Chrome just to eliminate the possibility that it's FF and voila he can login on ANY browser (edge, chrome) but not FF. I downloaded FF and set security to be the most zealous possible, checked, unchecked every security and privacy option, and I was ALWAYS able to login to his address no problem.

Crazy stuff. One of those "one in a million" situations. Does anyone have any thoughts?
