5 hr. ago Dell Latitude, Windows 10. Firefox will not display formatting options (such as italics, bold, underline, delete, etc.) in gmail. The only way to display the options is by hovering the cursor over the blank space above the name of the person it's going to (or received mail, just to be able to delete it) until an option appears. Nothing is indicated, and I have to move the cursor until I find the desired option and then click on it. The same thing happens in Chrome. This is totally crazy-making (insofar as gmail worked perfectly until a short time ago) and I'd welcome your suggestions and input.

(1-7-23, Windows 10): My problem for the past month is that FF won't keep me logged into sites where I specifically ask to stay logged in. It remembers my passwords but will not keep me logged in to Amazon, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. This is a home computer only used by me so I don't want to be logged out. Also, I get messages from sites saying there's a login from a new browser and I keep having to confirm it's me. It will work for a day, but when I start the computer on the next day, I'm logged out of everything.

I have done all these things:

  • Refreshed FF
  • Uninstalled & reinstalled FF
  • Cleared the Cache
  • Cleared Cookies
  • Settings: Remember History
  • No checkmark for Private Browsing
  • Tried turning off Enhanced Tracking Protection for affected sites
  • Tried changing Privacy to Custom, and un-checked Cookies to allow them
  • No checkmark for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed"

I think I have solved the problem after re-starting or completely turning computer off and on again, as long as it's the same day. The next day it's like it's a whole new FF browser. This started a month ago or so. Can anyone help? Nothing I do seems to work. Thanks!

In trying to solve my problem, I am going from bad to worse! Embarrassing! Screenshot of Chinese character issue is attached. Also, when I try to sign into Firefox from that page - https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/hi-IN/questions/1381354 - I am blocked from signing in. Somehow I am signed in now, but not sure how. duh! So first, the Chinese characters I need to solve, THEN have a question about an issue with mailto - no gmail default option. I have legacy handlers downloaded, kindly provided by jscher2000. Thank you! Do I drag his legacy handlers into my profile, if I am able to do so? I have tried all other suggestions on this problem. I really hope not to have to start anew with Firefox, because I have years of settings I am afraid I will lose. (Know it is doable, but I am a coward, as well as stupid, apparently.) Thanks in advance.

extension on toolbar

I use an extension called new xkit (for tumblr) from here: https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/wiki/Installing-XKit#firefox (not the one listed in your extensions search, not the same).

The icon for this no longer shows up by itself on my toolbar--but under the puzzle piece.

This means that I can NO LONGER MODIFY ANYTHING in the extension. I need to have it on the toolbar, so that I can modify it--and I'm not talking about manage extensions.

UBlock origin still shows up there because you need to be able to adjust it. Same thing with New xkit. You've actually broken the extension because it's not working on tumblr anymore.

This needs to be fixed.

I feel like an idiot. I let my husband use the desktop and actually kind of walked away from computers for awhile but today decided to check out the desktop and Firefox is no longer there, what do I do?

Today I got onto my desktop and found that Mozilla was not no longer what I was using. I don't know how it changed. I am no longer a young person but I Still have a few brain cells left, I hope. I always trusted Firefox and the reviews were always positive about their safety issues. Can I get my Mozilla back and how did it get out of my computer??? Microsoft is not Firefox, Correct? Maybe I am reading it incorrectly. I have been mostly away from day to day stuff since last fall, just to take a break, sigh! Please be kind with an answer, please.

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox on my Macbook Air running 10.14.6. When I try to play embedded videos, the video will freeze and there is a message saying that it is slowing down the page. I am in another country with a 50mbs connection and have to use a different browser to watch embedded videos. How can I return to the last version of FF which worked?

My old Macbook Pro died and I had to buy a new one. So, I couldn't migrate anything from the old one. I lost all my bookmarks and other things.

I had some great extensions for Firefox that I can't find anymore for YouTube.


1. Enhancer - I think that was the name. It gave me a lot of options when watching YouTube videos like closed captioning, the speed of the videos which I could slow down or speed up. Things like that.

2. A great Ad blocker. I had plenty of those on Safari but none as great as this one for YouTube on Firefox. I didn't have to watch one ad. I really don't remember the name of that one.

Any help would be appreciated. These ad-ons made Firefox so much more enjoyable.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am using Firefox 109.0.1(64-bit) in headless mode from the Command Prompt screen of Windows 10. From the Mozilla Firefox folder if I enter firefox.exe --headless --screenshot C:\Users\me\file1.png https://www.wikipedia.org I successfully store the screenshot as file1.png However, if I enter firefox.exe --headless --screenshot C:\Users\me\file2.png https://www.python.org I don't store any file nor do I get any error message If I enter (not using headless mode) firefox.exe https://www.python.org the Firefox screen is opened and the python.org page is displayed

Any ideas about why wikipedia.org works and python.org doesn't?
