Firefox browser desktop - I've cleared my cache, cookies and history and turned it on and off, signed in and out also. I can log in to my amazon spain account using edge or google. I always use firefox, but now amazon spain won't let me. Is this a problem anywhere else and what else could I be doing wrong? Thanks

Hi,

I have a couple of websites now where the Cookie acceptance window/pop up, displays for 1 second then disappears. This effectively leaves the page slightly dimmed and locked. I've tried the URLs in Chrome and the Cookie window display correctly and allows for user selection.

I have tried to add an exception for the URL for pop-ups, and then disabling pop-up blocking completely, but I still have the problem.

Thanks, Nick.

Nord VPN not recognizing that Firefox is on version 130. It keeps thinking that I am on version 128. I have Nord techs telling me what to do with their app but nothing I have done, even a complete new install of Nord, is fix ing the problem. They have suggested I get in touch with Firefox so here I am. OS Win10 home. It is also happening on my lap top with Win 11

Please send a reply to [edited from public] I tried to tick the box to get an email but it is not or appears to not be working.

Hi, I've started my laptop after 3 days, opened Firefox web browser and all my tabs are closed / lost. If I try History -> "Recently closed tabs or windows" is greyed out. How can I recover all my tabs from this computer?

Thank you, Tudor

Hello, Firefox lagged out and next thing I know - the scroll wheel doesn't scroll the page and instead goes back/forward a page. When I tried to look for a solution I discovered that other keys don't act as usual too, for example 'f' opens the 'file' tab on top, 'e' opens edit etc., but none of them type. Tried looking in the settings, but didn't find anything that could help. Thanks in advance!

Today I keep on getting messages like this when trying to sign into my Comcast email. I've never had this issue before signing in:

You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server.

I cannot seem to find what it is called, but only web design related stuff to scrolling.

I'm looking to change the behavior of scrolling bar, that lets me click a point and the page stops at that point, whereas right now, it keeps scrolling to the end/top of the page (based on the direction relative to the starting point). I find the behavior pretty annoying and something that used to be done by the buttons on either end point.

Is this a relic of the past or can i opt-in to it through the config

Netzero says I am located in Phoenix, Az. I am in Tucson, Arizona. It won't let me change it. I have tried numerous times but to no avail. What is the solution to this? I am going crazy trying to rectify this on my own.

So, today i opened up my firefox and loaded up youtube; it didn't load. I tried to check my wifi speed on speedtest by ookla...the website didnt work. Then i went to reddit to see if this was a bug affecting everyone anddd that also did not work. So, basically half of the websites that i use do not work right now and i can't figure out why. Everything was fine till yestderday and i havent changed any settings. Also, Wifi speed is not the problem here as i opened up ms edge and everything works.

Please help! Here's a reference image of how websites look ( imgur ) Funnily enough, imgur also did not work of mozilla.

I have six windows that I use the most. Sometimes I open more windows, but before quitting Firefox, I close windows that are outside of the first six. But if I don’t close the additional windows, the next time I open Firefox, they are all the same position as they were when I closed Firefox.

And that is good.

The problem is, with the taskbar locked, while using Firefox and using Windows the way it’s intended- opening, closing and switching different windows as I need them, the six windows in Firefox switch positions. The windows shift positions so that 6 is 5 and 5 is 6 and 3 is 2 and 1 is 3 and so on. It’s all random.

So why do the windows shift positions?

It is a hassle to have to keep lining them up again and again throughout the day, so that they are always in the right place so that I don’t have to click each taskbar item to find out which window it is. If they remain in the correct order, I have no trouble or wasted time looking for the window I need to use.

The shifting Firefox windows at random is the problem. That is what this inquiry is about.

Here is a temporary fix without having to set them all up from scratch. It takes a few manipulations, but still better than remembering all the tabs in each window then opening each window and tab one at a time in the order I prefer them to be in. I use an addon called Tab Session Manager. This is not an advertisement for the addon. It is necessary to mention it in case others have the same “switching” windows problems. The addon allows you to save each window, then open each of the saved windows in the proper order.

The things I’m trying to get an answer to, are the following questions:

1. Why do the Firefox windows switch positions? 2. And how do I stop it from happening again?

Any help or direction will be appreciated. Thanks.

I receive a daily email from the Toronto Star with brief summaries of current news stories. The summaries include a link that opens the complete article in Firefox (or other browsers).

When I open the full article in Firefox, the article stops at an advertisement (which does not display). The ad includes the wording "Story continues below", but it does not; instead it goes to the end of the article.

When I open the same article in Chrome, the article opens properly.

I am attaching screen shots of the two browsers. I tried manually collecting the Data as well, but it extends to 80 p. I can save it in Word, then convert to a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat, but I cannot convert the file to a .JPEG and attach it. I am happy to send a copy of the Word file; just ask

i've had recent cause to reset my 2017 iMac running OS 13 back to factory settings. this has cause all kinds of problems, and now i need to set up a new user account. i identified the relevant profile, and copied it to the new user account. i then opened Firefox and typed "about:profiles", and the new profile is not in the list, even though it's in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/.

i tried compressing it before copying it, but that made no difference. i've tried logging out, restarting, and switching on and off again.

so i'm stuck in between two users, one with all my data, and the other with Firefox (and possibly Thunderbird, haven't even tried that yet). this makes life unbelievably difficult.

i really need my Firefox profile back. desperately hoping someone can help.

thanks for reading.

I recently updated to v130. I'm having the same problem that so many others have, "Firefox already running, close Firefox". After updating to v130 I had to go to Task Manager and delete 19 Firefox running. It's only been a few days ago and I checked Task Manager today and deleted another 13. After updating to v130 many of my add-ons are showing up in the Menu Bar. I have used Add-ons Manager to drag and drop, but it doesn't work. I have specific bookmarks that should be in the "Bookmarks" section" but they are also showing up in the Menu Bar. I had to re-select my screen choice because it had disappeared. I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine and in the past I was able to choose a separate search bar, but that too has disappeared and I cannot seem to fix it in settings. So many problems after updates, but this one seems very bad. I use Windows 10 on my desktop PC

Please Help, Rhonda

When I click on a Google Books search result, I used to read it in Firefox. Now it is impossible, since a recent update. But I can do it in other browsers. The suggested May 2023 solution doesn't work for me.

This is the error page I get: "To protect your security, books.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Opening in a new window doesn't solve the problem.

Until three days ago I could access Counter Social via Firebox. Suddenly it's just not working. What is to be done about this? I can access CS on Edge without problems. I don't want to use Edge.

The most recent update to Firefox, on each of our four Windows 10 systems, has a new glitch when printing PDF files. The particular files we're trying to print are in LEGAL SIZE format, and Firefox is compressing the text into a size that only uses half the page. This is true whether or not we select LEGAL SIZE in the printing interface, and regardless of the "Scale" setting. We had to switch over to printing these files with Adobe Acrobat, which worked fine.

I reinstalled windows on my PC. I had to password reset because I forgot it and then it made my login back on my phone. I go through the login process on my phone and I first get my Email verification then I get my Auth app and it tells me it was logged in, but doesn't actually log me in. It does this both on my phone and PC now so I am trying to get logged in on my phone to be able to bring my bookmarks over.
