Firefox Support Forum

Hello! This is not really a question ... more a comment. This morning when I opened my WIN 7 HOME tower PC, and opened FIREFOX, I saw the notice that this latest release is the latest for WIN 7. That's fine, but I wish to tell you something about WIN 7 PRO & MICROSOFT. Evidently, there is some major user of WIN 7 PRO who has demanded that MICROSOFT continue to support this version. I have two H-P laptops, which I use for Ladder programming. Both are loaded with WIN 7 PRO, and both receive periodic updates from MICROSOFT. So, it would seem that ALL support for these older releases of Windows has not ended. I am in the process of moving all my files & applications from this WIN 7 HOME PC to my WIN 10 tower PC. THANK YOU. robert herold [removed emails from public]

P.S. Had no problem porting the FIREFOX data to the 10, but had a lot of problems doing the same for THUNDERBIRD on this PC to the 10, despite getting assistance from your tech people.

To save and sync a new password, I put my email in and hit "Sign up or Sign in" - but then it tells me are you sure you want to create this account, because a previous user was in sync on this computer: and it's my same email. If I say yes and continue, it is asking to set a password and create an account. What happened to just signing in? Why did it stop me from doing so and reroute me like this? I'm in same browser and user platform as always on this device. Big snafu for no reason. BTW I signed in now with a different account to Support because I have to sign in to ask the question.

I am presently running ver 115.0.2. This morning, following a firefox update, I was told there was a new version available. When I clicked the link I was shown ver 115. I did note that there is a ver 116 when I checked the drop down menu. A few moments ago I clicked an update to latest version link here and got the same version I have and from the firefox help menu I see that my firefox is up to date. So the obvious question is, do I even bother to dl ver 116?

tried to access these websites and got this error message --how does the problem get fixed?

this is happening all too often these days with links that did not used to have problems

I'm getting loads of SSL errors when trying to connect to various web pages. The errors don't seem to relate to the target pages, something in the connections fails.

The symtoms appear to be similar to this closed bug which doesn't seem to have been resolved. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1378352

Two of the more recent errors were: SSL_ERROR_DECODE_ERROR_ALERT SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ

There were several more which I don't remember.

Has anyone come up with a resolution?

Google Translate keeps popping up on an online directory page. I did not install the Google Translate extension or set up anything for translation, but it jumps in and covers the content. Please help me to stop it. Thank you. Please look at the screenshot.

This started a few days ago. when i click a link to open a page it has traditionally opened in my Firefox, now it's Bing. Firefox is still set as default and reviewing other setting options do not clearly showing my how to change this option back to Firefox. Thank you

When I enter something in "address line" or "search", Firefox flashes several windows before stopping. If I click on a item, it does it again and does not open the particular item.

Firefox updated my browser yesterday and when I switched on my computer this morning, my"recently closed tabs" was blanked out and now I cannot get my old Firefox back again.

Hi. Usually any passwords auto generated by Firefox used uppercase, lowercase, and numbers - no symbols. As of very recently, all passwords being generated now include special characters. I didn't change this so I assume it came with an update.

Ordinarily this would be fine, however the characters being inserted are often invalid ones and I've found a few websites unable to accept passwords including them, such as < and : making the generated password useless.

Is there a way to customise how passwords are generated? I've looked through settings but can't see any way to adjust it. I'd prefer to remove special characters completely. Thanks!

Greetings everyone,

I just want to know if I can trust Firefox extensions?

What has me worried and what made me create this thread was that Firefox extensions are given access to all the data in my Firefox App which includes my browsing history, bookmarks and so on.

Of course I'll only be installing the official Firefox extensions from this link but I'm very afraid that I'll be giving the Firefox extensions I install access to all of my data...

Thank you for any help!

While writing this first time Firefox crashed. Win 7, ver 115.0.1 . I've reported multiple crashes lately and asked for response. Firefox causing high CPU. No response from them. Help

I have a favorite website that wont let me login. It seems this started after the last update by Firefox. When i enter my password, a small little screen pops up saying "OK" but it does not log me in. I have looked everywhere in permissions and made sure im not blocking the website. I would appreciate your ideas and yes i took it a step futher and reloaded Firefox with a new download just to see if it was a setting somehwere I was over looking. Thanks and I love Firefox for it is my favorite browser. The site im trying to get to does open on all 4 of my other browsers.
