Firefox Support Forum

I use a mac mini with firefox

The menu bar on the right hand corner and Add Ons Close immediately when trying to open when the window is minimized. From research I thought it might be extensions. I checked and everything is fine. I also tried to refresh Firefox and that did not work. I did notice when I put the window to full view everything works fine. I am wondering why it does not work properly when the window is minimized to a smaller view. Your help would be appreciated.

This is an autofill question.

I have a form using a single page app and AngularJS code. There are two versions. One version has the master page an ASPX page. The other version has the master page a HTML page. The form has a single input text box which is the user enters criteria for a search. The submit button executes an AJAX call with the user’s text.

The names for the input text box and submit button is the same for both forms.

For the ASPX version, autofill recognizes and stores new values and shows them the next time the user puts his mouse in the textbox.

For the HTML version, autofill does not store any new values. It does show existing values stored by the ASPX form.

A hypothesis is there is something in the HTTP Request/Response going to the ASPX master page behind the scenes that activates autofill save code that is not getting activated by the HTTP Request/Response going to the HTML master page.

Whatever the problem is, is there any JavaScript code I can execute to activate this autofill save new values code?

Any explanations, solutions, or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

I want to disable firefox' form history so I don't see the drop-down menu for email addresses I could enter into forms. However, I do not want to disable search history. In the settings, I only have the option to enable or disable both (see the attached screenshot).

I would appreciate it if search and form history could be disabled or enabled separately.

The reason this is important to me is that when logging into websites, I often use [personal handle]+[website]@[email provider] as my email address so I can avoid spam if that site's data gets leaked. However, firefox' form history stores each +[website] as a separate entry, resulting in an impractically long drop-down menu. While it doesn't break anything, it does mean choosing between not using search history or having my screen fill up with a large, useless, attention grabbing drop-down element every time I have to log in.

Since installing firefox on a new laptop, i can not log onto PNC online banking. The log on page loads but upon entering id and password, the screen comes up "verifying identity" It sends me right back to another logon screen. Usually the verification screen will ask to send a code to my phone. I have two other sites that briefly logs me on and then boots me out to the logon screen again. FYI, I do not like using edge, but I could access PNC with it. please advise

Hi. I was using for a long time several Firefox windows with few tabs in each window. Usually if i close Firefox and then open again, all windows and tabs where opening. Since recent update, only one window opens, the rest are gone. Can this be repaired to work again?

Sometimes, unpredictably, the browser stops working in a way that the page stops working, and trying to reload the page, open a new tab, or even save the content on a page, simply doesn't work. The singlefile extension fails, and I can't just disable it, and re-enable it, the browser won't let me do that, either. The browser's built-in save function won't even progress to completion. That is inconvenient when I'm trying to save chat, or some other ephemeral thing, that won't be available after restarting the browser. I don't want this to happen anymore. I don't want this situation to recur. I'm not sure what to do to prevent it in the future. I'm not sure what causes this mess. I don't know what else to say about it. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix this?

The browser seemed to be in the throes a crash, but it just wouldn't finish itself off. So I killed the main process, which I thought should trigger a crash report, but it didn't.

I'm still using Windows 7. When I try to set up a GoogleGroup using Firefox and check "I am not a robot" it just spins and after 15 seconds or so just goes nowhere. But when I use Chrome, I have no problem being approved by Captcha. How can I fix it so that I can do the same via FireFox?

I use -url argument for launching Firefox with two tabs.

How can I specify the container for each tab?

Ex. firefox -url "https://web.whatsapp.com/"-url "https://web.whatsapp.com/" The first tab belongs to 1st Whatsapp account While the 2nd belongs for another one

- I use Multi-Account Containers - Firefox 108.0.1 (64-bit) - Linux Mint 21.1 Xfce

I have the latest version of Firefox for Windows. In the upper right corner next to Sign In is a bell which is for notifications. I want to permanently disable the notifications. At the present, I can click on the bell, select setting and toggle the notifications to Off. However, this is not permanent. If I close Firefox and open it again, notifications are once again enabled and I have to repeat to disable. How do I disable permanently?

This is why I have not used Firefox. I try it and have issues accessing sites. I went to hulu.com enter id and password and got this: 502 Bad Gateway nginx.

Tried it with google and no problem

Hi there,

I am using gmail as my default email client, so that when I click on a mailto link from anywhere, the system (macos Monterey 12.5.1) passes the link to my default browser (Firefox 108.0.1). This used to work just fine until today: now the tab opens as usual, load gmail, I can glimpse at an email with the correct recipient but the tab closes straight away, without giving me any opportunity to interact. I found a very similar post from half a year ago: Clicking on a "mailto" link opens a new tab then automatically closes immediately, but as far as I understand the solution was to restart the computer (which I tried...). I could not find any other lead... Any idea?

With thanks and best regards

I cannot access one particular website. Either error message 'timed out' OR 'problem loading page' appears. I have tried refreshing Firefox, and clearing cache. I cannot connect to the site on Edge either. The website is: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/prefaces/toc Others who have posted this problem said it started with latest Firefox update (which I have). Finally, I tried reaching the site NOT using the saved, Bookmark Toolbar. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

I'm seeing some very weird behavior and want to know how to troubleshoot it.

A specific website (pfSense admin) sends a form to edit some parameters. The form contains input fields like

   <input class="form-control" name="mac" id="mac" type="text" value="a4:bb:6d:e3:46:da" placeholder="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx">

What I see in my Firefox instance is that the value is missing. Examining the source it looks like this:

   <input class="form-control" name="mac" id="mac" type="text" placeholder="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx">

The `value=` attribute has been surgically excised.

What I have done:

• Accessed the same website in MSEdge - The values are present
• Dumped the page source from both MSEdge and Firefox and compared them. Apart from a couple of expected differences (CSRF token), the resulting HTML is identical except for the missing `value=` attribute.
• Started Firefox in Safe Mode - Same problem
• Examined the data stream in the Network tab of the developer tools - The `value=`attribute is missing even this early in the process.

Finally I created a completely new Firefox profile, and voilà, it works.

So the question is what setting in my default profile could possibly have the effect of making that single specific change to the data stream? Based on the Network trace, whatever is doing this is occurring extremely early in page processing.

How do I troubleshoot this?

When I try to play Netflix from my Macbook and onto to my smart TV via my Apple TV device, I find that I can hear the sound but cannot see any picture. The set-up used to work fine until I up-dated to the latest version of the Firefox browser and then the picture disappeared. I have a second Macbook on which I'm running an older version of Firefox (from April'22) and this is still working fine with Netflix/Apple TV connection etc., i.e. picture and sound working well. Has anyone else had this issue.

Btw, I can have both picture and sound on my Macbook screen if I don't connect to Apple TV even when using the latest Firefox version!

Hello Community,

I recently had all of my addons disabled, and I think when that happened, it also caused all of my browsing history to no longer show. I didn't realize this until i reinstalled some of my disabled addons. I was wondering if someone could go through with me an easy way to restore my history and addons? I did some searching beforehand, and I currently have 2 profiles, and for the more recently edited profile, there is a corrupted places file. I was wondering if someone could explain what I should be doing to be able to restore as much of my old history as possible? Thanks! I attached what the corrupted places file looks like, and what the disabled apps section looks like.

Every time I use the developer tools, as soon as a suggestion is shown, it blocks the complete UI and I cannot do anything anymore. Only closing Firefox and restarting makes it go away.

See also the image for an example, in that case I inspect an HTML element, try to add a CSS property, but once I type something, Firefox shows the suggested properties and from that moment on the UI is blocked. The suggestions don't go away anymore, I cannot click on any buttons, I cannot change tabs, nothing. The mouse over works, because I see tabs highlighting when I move the mouse, but nothing happens on a click.

This also happens in the other tabs of the tools. For example in the network tab, when I hover over a picture and it shows a thumbnail, it also freezes the UI.

This is on MacOS 12.5.1, FF 108.0.1 and with all extensions and plug ins disabled.
