Firefox Community Forum

While exploring about pages in Firefox, I came across about:profiling. I'm not sure what exactly it does, but since I've been to it, a profiler icon has been added to the toolbar and I can't find any way to get rid of it completely (only ways are to hide it). If it could be added, there must also be a way to remove it? How can I close it?

On many websites Firefox does not display checkmarks in boxes, won't show color options when ordering items that have different available colors, just shows white, also for cars when looking at options won't display the color options just the boxes (or circles) to check. Other issues also on many sites does not always work have to switch to Safari. I have a Mac mini Big Sur 11.6.6. As a matter of fact just below on this very page trying to check box that says e-mail me when somewone responds and nothing shows when I click on it.

Firefox stopped working today. Every time I launch it, it responds with: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

I launched Task Manager and killed the active processes, relaunched ff - did not resolve the issue.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled ff multiple times - did not resolve the issue.

I have removed the lock as per here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding#:~:text=Right%2Dclick%20on%20an%20empty,it)%20and%20click%20End%20Process.

I have verified the access rights as per here: https://www.minitool.com/news/fix-firefox-is-already-running-but-is-not-responding.html

I have completely removed all the mozilla entries from both Program Files AND in the registry, then reinstalled. did not resolve the issue. registry instructions from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/s9lguc/how_to_completely_uninstall_firefox/

I have tried to delete existing profiles AND create a new profile but I always get an error: "An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved." https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles#w_start-the-profile-manager-when-firefox-is-closed

I'm out of things to try. Hate to abandon Firefox but I'm at the end of my capabilities.

checking box within a Tab on yahoo mail will immediately open that entry and then freeze further operation until the screen is shut down. This happens on my wife's HP lap top i5 Pavilion 4.00 ram. ie: inbox tab will show a number of email - a dozen or so - followed by grey empty areas. The tab indicates 100+ total in inbox. Selecting one box opens the email but locks up any activity on that email & must be shut down to exit. The identical situation happens when I access my email on her machine. She is using Firefox 105.0.1 HOWEVER, on my machine, HP desktop AMD A8 8.00 Ram, both email addresses do not lock up, multiple boxes can be checked and work as expected. My desk top uses Firefox 104.4 This began happening within the past couple of weeks and I can not debug the situation. Any pointers ??

Hello, I use Firefox 105 on my PC. I have embedded various YouTube videos on my website. I've had the following problem for a few days: I can see my videos on both my smartphone and tablet without going to YouTube. On my PC (Win 10 Pro Vers. 21H2) the display wheel "rolls" without opening the video (... "an error has occurred, try again later"). But if I click on: "Watch on YouTube" plays the video via YouTube correctly. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Is there a wrong setting in the Firefox browser? Many thanks and best regards Helmut

I recently had to restore my computer. Doing that I have to get the new firefox which I now have version 102. Updates disabled instantly. I was on version 88. On version 88 this feature was not on it and version 102 now has this feature and I do not like it.

The feature I am talking about is if you open the downloads panel and view the downloads list and right click on one of the downloaded files in list there is now an option to Delete. I accidentlly hit this and thought it was just deleting it from downloads panel. Nope it deletes it from computer permanently, not even to recycle bin. Click Delete its gone for good until download it again.

And this delete option is right above the option remove from history, which I use a lot.

So I want to know how to disable this delete option? Thanks

i just last night switched to Firefox and i am loving it! the only issue i have is that YouTube does not seem to be able to go over 480p no other website has this issue (for ex twitch) and if this could be fixed i would never go back to chrome

When I go to https://outlook.live.com/owa/ and click on Sign In, I am sent to https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=13&ct=1664586249&rver=7.0.6737.0&wp=MBI_SSL&wreply=https%3a%2f%2foutlook.live.com%2fowa%2f%3fnlp%3d1%26RpsCsrfState%3d17ece2a1-03ee-4d23-1804-181c6fe01157&id=292841&aadredir=1&CBCXT=out&lw=1&fl=dob%2cflname%2cwld&cobrandid=90015 which stays blank instead of bringing up the Sign In form. I've tried deleting the cookies to no avail. I've tried Troubleshooting Mode to no avail. It's been this way for a couple of months now. I have no trouble signing on to Outlook.com using other browsers.

My windows outlook email has suddenly quit working correctly. After sign in, I cannot scroll messages, open messages, change files, go to settings or even close the app. All other apps working correctly. Outlook works correctly in other computers and phone. This is in Firefox Nightly.

When I'm on a web page, I'd like to be able to drag or copy the URL, with its associated name, from the address bar into Onenote. When I do that now I only get the URL in Onenote. I can get both the URL and name if first I drag the URL to the bookmark bar and then I drag the bookmark into Onenote.

Does anyone know a way to get it done in one step?

Every time I open the print option when in the calendar app in Thunderbird it wants to print only the current month. How do I tell it to print the previous month, or for that matter, any previous or subsequent month? Seems like it should be a pretty obvious thing to want to do but the app is as confusing as it can be!

I first realized an issue with downloading PDFs through the Firefox viewer - I cannot. The download button does nothing, there is no prompt, no popup, and no file downloaded. I have also tried to print to pdf, that also seems to fail.

Today I realized I also cannot attach any files to an email through Gmail in Firefox, which is now leading me to believe that the software is unable to interface with my files at all.

Things I've tried include: - Turning off popup blocker - Refreshing Firefox in the ->Help->More Troubleshooting Information Menu - Starting Firefox in safe mode - Reinstalling through snap

The only way I can currently download files is through wget, and the only way I can send attachments is by installing Google Chrome, which is kind of a last resort for me.

I am running Ubuntu 22.04, this is on Firefox 106.0, though it didn't work last update either.

Thanks for any help

Edit: I have been googling for answers but after posting this question a similar thread popped up, the solution is to install the following packages:

xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Hi Today I updated Firefox to version 106.0 and I can't get rid of the "arrow button" from top right (screenshot attached - near the minimize button, I marked it). The function of this button is clear for me - tabs management. But I can manage my tabs without special button for it. I want to remove it. I tried right clicking on it, but the "remove from toolbar" option is unavailable. I tried to customize toolbar, but it won't work either (I can't take it from te toolbar).

How to remove this button?

Hi community!

I have opened a few images I've found on a website in separate tabs through the right-click menu "open in new tab" command. After some time browsing the site, the webserver went away - the particulars are irrelevant, suffice to say that I can no longer connect to the images' origin host. I'm now trying to save the images I've already opened, and which Firefox has downloaded and is displaying in tabs, but am baffled that I cannot do that:

• Firefox has definitely downloaded the image and it exists in its cache, either in memory or on disk. I can see each opened image in full resolution in its individual tab. The URL displayed in the location bar would download as a plain `image/jpeg` file, if the webserver were still available to me.
• When I try to save the image, Firefox always insists on downloading a fresh copy. This happens regardless of the method used to save the image; I've tested File > Save Page As, context-menu > Save Image As, drag & drop into Windows Explorer.
• The only way to "rescue" the image from Firefox is to copy the image to the clipboard, paste it into an image editor and save it under a new name. Needless to say, this is extremely cumbersome, loses any metadata associated with the image and is unlikely to create an accurate copy of the original image (recompression, missing color-space information, etc.).

Is there a way to make Firefox save the image-opened-in-a-tab to my computer, without asking the origin server for a more recent version? I just want what's already displayed on my screen...

P.S.: You can observe this behavior in a standard Firefox without any user-installed addons; it is not specific to Waterfox or any addon.

Hello

We have lost our developer access to manage an extension. Nobody knows which email address and account was used to manage the extension.

What is the procedure to get ownership of the extension ?

Thanks Frédéric Jahard

Amazon Sign-in problem started on 10-15-22. Amazon does not accept my password and asks me if I would like to receive a text message for verification. There is no yes or no selection displayed. I select resend text and I am given a telephone number for Amazon customer service. I go thru a 15 minute security verification process and Amazon tells me if I do not answer any questions correctly, they will cancel my account. On the 2nd time I contacted Amazon, I was told to use Crome browser and not to use Firefox.

This problem happens with my personal computer (windows 10) only. My Android phone using the Amazon app works with no problems. I can also use Crome browser on my computer and Amazon works fine.

Any suggestions ? Thanks

After downloading FF 106.0 A Firefox Icon appeared on the left side of my menu bar that won't go away and is taking up space that I need. It's guiding me thru a sign in page to syn my devices. I DON"T WANT TO SYNC my devices. I just want to get rid of that icon. When I try to sign in it tells me it will send me a 6 digit code and I have to enter it in 5 mins. I never received the code. I don't care if I ever get the code. Please tell me how to get rid of the icon w/o going thru the process of the "tutorial" Thank you!
