Firefox Community Forum

Hello. I am setting up a site on Linux server using Apache as reverse proxy , with ASP.NET as application server . since installing SSL , I had few mixed content blocking that i was managed to fix using CSP directive in Apache configuration file. site has no issue with all browser except Firefox. the only issue is that in admin section , to configure a option. system will load a js file that simply a dropdown with list of options to choose from . when using Firefox , it tries to redirect that page to login page . for test , i clicked on the link i located in Developer tools , which directed me to login page , entered my credentials, and scripts loads showing the drop down box and ok button. is been 3 weeks i been looking for every solution and i have done everything .. but nothing have worked. now I am resort to having to use other browsers if i need to use that functionality in admin page. In page header file name : login , location : http://MYDOMAIN.ca/login?ReturnUrl=%2FAdmin%2FDiscountRulesCustomerRoles%2FConfigure%3FdiscountId%3D6%26_%3D1702682353293 , which are not correct . and browser such as Brave and Safari dose not show different path and file name and everything is correct. dose anyone know how to fix this .. ? i saw a solution mentioned as stated resting Firefox ,but can not find a way to reset , but i have reinstalled Firefox and constantly having this issue on this single section of the page . Thanks.

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

I have some custom firefox applets that acts as wrappers around the command-line functions to open firefox with specific profiles (see image 1 of applets in Applications in Finder). Each application is a simple .scpt file that runs the shell script (see image 2).

This allows me to have specific app icons for the different firefox profiles in my user dock (see image 3).

The issue is that once the applet is used and firefox has been opened, there are issues with permissions. In settings, it is clear that both microphone and speaker permissions have been shared with the applets AND firefox itself (see image 4).

However, any time I navigate to a page, I get a dialogue asking if the applet (Firefox_Professional, in this case) can access the microphone (see image 5). Depending on the page, I can get 1-20 dialogues in a row. This makes firefox practically unusable since I am closing an average of 5 dialogues before I can view any page.

Does anyone know any solutions to this?

Thanks so much for the help! ~Alex

running version 142.0.1 on windows 10 on a pc. With the latest three updates of firefox, facebook is the only site that loads very slowly. No problem on a pad or cell phone using the same isp and mozilla. What happened?.

I installed firefox on my new windows 11 dell. I imported my existing bookmarks using json file format. When I bring up firefox I have two vertical columns on the left side of my screen. One is my bookmarks and to the left is this is a real time column that lists the sites I visit. Is there some way to disable this 2nd column? thanks brian

Tor browser 14.5.8 (based on Mozilla Firefox 128.14.0esr) LibreWolf 143.0.3-1 Each uses 100% of a CPU thread on Linux Debian 13 (Trixie) with KDE, while internet is not accessible for hours. I have tried to open new empty tab and close single website tab in Tor browser, but that did not decrease the load. Firefox 140.3.1esr also uses around 100% when i count up all its CPU threads load.

Can anyone reproduce this? Maybe the browser needs to run for some time so the issue is reproducible. If you have idea what to try (i will not use different Firefox version), let me know exact steps.

Version/OS: It happens across multiple Firefox versions, currently 140.3.1esr (64-bit) I should not use latest version because it is not recommended. On my Debian Linux 13 i recommended to install packages from a stable repository.

Issue: when i type some phrase into address bar to search for it, it opens a search engine homepage https://searx.rhscz.eu not search results page. I have added the SE to FF by visiting its search page, click address bar, empty it, click drop-down menu, select currently opened SE.

When I try the same search process using address bar for the second time and onward, then it opens search results page correctly. I think that this issue happens only on 1st search attempt since browser start.

Srry I don't see the button to delete the question, because I didn't even differentially diagnose whether it was even Firefox or a webcam program that was running

Playing a video in a Firefox tab prevents my desktop from hibernating, even when the video is paused.

I'm guessing this is an advanced settings in about:config somewhere, possibly.

I multitask a lot so I was partway through a video on utube and paused it, & then my computer was still awake in the morning.

The simple solution : don't do that then; or, it's just a little bit of electricy, don't even worry about it.

I looked around for solutions in Debian or wherever & they talk about VLC playing, but this was a Firefox tab.

I am guessing this is some sort of settings issue even though I checked both the the computer settings and the Firefox settings and both are set to receive notifications. I haven't received any notifications on my computer since 8/28 but am still getting them on the phone which I don't really use for that purpose. I want them on here but can't figure out what's causing them not to show up. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

I like the vertical tabs in the latest FF update, but the expand on hover feature only works for a short time, then the sidebar gets stuck either closed or open. I have to open settings and click the hover option. And when the sidebar is stuck open, it covers the settings sidebar, which is a pain in the neck. This happens frequently enough to make me go back to horizontal tabs.

Also, when this happens the x to close a tab disappears, and I have to right click the tab and scroll down to 'close tab.' I hope you can fix these bugs.

I'm using Windows 11 on an HP desktop.

Hi. I've been using ESR115 on Windows 7 64bit for a while now, at lease since Chase.com enhanced their online banking browser requirements. But now, Nov 6th, Chase.com updated their online banking site, yet again. ESR115 no longer works. Just thought I'd let you guys know in case an update to ESR115 is needed.

I tried to update to a newer ESR version but nothing is available. I'll probably have to buy a new PC since this mobo doesn't have a TPM chip and I'd rather go to Win11 than to Win10. Thanks!

I noticed earlier this week that one of my extensions is still having a major bug, despite said bug being patched a month ago and the update being approved already. The extension was set to auto update, so I tried disabling it and checking for updates manually. Firefox said an update was available, so I hit update and nothing happened. Even after waiting 10 minutes, refreshing `about:addons` and even restarting firefox, the update was not installed. I can't check dev tools for information on what happened either since they are handled by the firefox app itself instead of the `about:addons` page. So I turned off auto update for all extensions to see if it was just that one that was having an issue, but none of my extensions have been updating. 11 updates available, none able to install. The only way I could get an extension to be up to date was by completely reinstalling it, which removes all extension data and thus is not an option.

Downloaded Fire Fox on this new Windows 11 Laptop. Cannot get it to completely clear history, either from tool bar, also have done from Settings, Security to delete all history and cookies when closing. Then from History highlighted and deleted all from there. What is going on? Great that the old data from PC with all add-ons and bookmarks were transferred. I do not know how I did that.

For some time now while using Firefox, I've had to reenter my password when trying to visit new tabs of the site discord.com, even when using a link that should directly take me there (or duplicating the tab.) This is unexpected behavior and on a new profile of Firefox (or in other browsers), discord remains logged in even when the site is visited in a new tab.

Now you should probably know that I use the more tools option to customize the look of my browser. I generally enable the titlebar and bookmark toolbar for personal preference. After several hours of testing and tweaking and trying to bug test the issue I've realized that there is a correlation and discord only forces me to log in again when I have either the titlebar or bookmarks toolbar enabled on the current profile.

I would really like a fix that I can either do myself or would like to see this bug addressed in the future. There's no reason that my choice to use the titlebar or bookmark bar should affect my browsing?

Thank you for your time, and please let me know if there's anything I can provide/do to help resolve this issue!
