Firefox Support Forum

A few weeks ago a small link of the current page started appearing at the bottom of the page when playing videos on every website on every device that has Firefox. Ive seen this link before but it always goes away when I put the video in full screen. A temporary fix is going to another tab and switching back. This makes it go away until I see another video.

My userChrome.css...

#main-window { border: 5px red solid !important; }

It's only half-working though as in first screenshot. I've tried messing about with padding & margins - to no avail.

The 2nd screenshot zooms in on bottom-left corner and shows a faint blue outline (shadow?).

Any suggestions on fixing the border?

Cheers.

Just recently I noticed that if I click a desktop shortcut or email link, it opens Firefox to the home page. The only way a shortcut will open the specific page is if Firefox is open already. This happens if I select opening a link in a new tab or new page. Again, this never used to happen until very recent.

Also, this only happens with Firefox on my Mac. On Windows, Firefox doesn't need to be open already in order for the shortcut to open the specific page.

I just filled all of this out. When I clicked on Submit everything disappeared and the boxes are now red. Really, I have to go through all of it again. Oy! The box with applications for my downloads used to have one or two or three. Now it has this; irc ircs JPEG Image mailto Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Worksheet Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File (application/ms-excel) Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File (application/x-csv) Microsoft Excel Worksheet Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document Microsoft Word Document ms-phone ms-settings ms-word onenote PNG Image Portable Document Format (PDF) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) spotify WebP Image zoommtg

What is Word 97-2003 doing there? Why is my phone an option? I didn't give Firefox my number. That's one problem. This issue makes my skin crawl. If I have to fill out a form on a new website all I have to do is type J and my full name, all of my email addresses, my physical address, and phone number appear in little boxes below the lines of the form. This is new and i really don't like it. Why, out of nowhere, is my information avaiblabe on the entire internet? If I hit Submit and these boxes turn a new color I will start screaming.

FF says "account disconnected" but I did not disconnect it.

Ok. So reconnect and launch sync. No problem. 4 other machines have FF and syncing works great.

See tabs etc synced just as I am used to from decades of happily using FF.

But close out and restart. WIN 11 new desktop.

Come back to FF and get "account disconnected".

Your thoughts greatly appreciated!

My Facebook icon on my Taskbar disappeared and I can't get it pinned back to the Taskbar. If I pin it and click on it, it goes to Microsoft Edge browser instead of Facebook. Very frustrating!

Though i did not log into any sites recentl, the status for all my saved logins indicate they were last used either yesterday or the day before. How can this be? Have they been compromised?

In the SharePoint library Setting is the desktop App defined to open M365-files. Chrome, Edge and Opera, open the files in the desktop App. Not so Mozilla Firefox: with this browser, the files are opened in a Tab, instead of the desktop App. Why is that? How can I change this behaviour?

It did'nt change with marking "Ask, how files are opened or saved With kind regards, Christian

Like many people, I have professional and personal email accounts. A long time ago, before Pocket was a part of Firefox, I created a Pocket account associated with my personal email address. And, at some point I associated Firefox with my professional email address. Now that Pocket is a part of the Firefox family and there is a push to use the Firefox login as the Pocket login, I'd like to unify these accounts. The Pocket login using my personal email address has clearly now become its own Firefox account. So, when I try to make one email address the secondary for the other Firefox account, that is disallowed with the popup saying that the account (associated with that email) already exists. Is there a simple solution? Or, is the easiest way to continue having two Firefox accounts, one I only use for Pocket?

Subject: Report of Shortcut Image Swap Issue in Firefox

Dear Firefox Support Team,

The issue I am facing relates to the shortcut images associated with different websites and web applications pinned on Firefox’s New Tab page and bookmarks bar. Instead of displaying the correct icons for their respective websites, these shortcuts are randomly swapping their images with one another.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Firefox.

2. Pin multiple websites to the Shortcuts Section, each with its unique icon.

3. Over time (minutes, hours, or days), observe that the shortcut images have switched places with other shortcuts, leading to a mismatch between the icons and the associated websites.

This issue seems to occur without any user intervention and appears entirely random in its behavior.

The ongoing issue with shortcut image swaps is perplexing and disrupts my browsing experience as I rely on these visual cues for quick and efficient navigation.

Hi, everyone. I hope you will be doing good. As we have a website about delusion calculator which is properly working in other browsers. While checking it in the firefox I found that the website is so lazy and break down while during the loading time. Could anyone here can guide me about this issue?

I have multiple accounts for a particular site and have usernames and passwords saved in Firefox for all of them. I use one of those accounts most of the time and use the others occasionally for particular tasks. I would like Autofill to autofill that main account's information, but it defaults to autofilling one of the other accounts and I have to manually select the one I want from the dropdown before logging in. Is there a way to select which account information is autofilled, or some trick to get it to show the right account by default, like deleting and re-adding all the other accounts?

When uninstalling Firefox developer edition my anti virus firewall popped this message:

"Firefox Developer Edition Helper does not have a valid digital signature"

Filename: Un_A.exe

Does anyone know anything about this?

Hello and great work so far Firefox team!

Currently, Firefox can be used in Windows from the command line to open any URL (start firefox www.google.com). Since any browser is expected to have Internet access to any website or IP address, this is a real security concern in case of default deny security for firewall outbound traffic.

Here is a hacker scenario: The PC has a list of whitelist applications allowed to connect to the Internet. This prevents lots of malware from connecting to their remote servers. However, malware can bypass that by listening on localhost and requesting Firefox to open the remote server. This way the malware sends and receives data with the server using Firefox after requesting an URL with the malware local port specified as query parameter.

This can be avoided with a special about:config option that completely disables command line processing. I don't know if that's entirely possible, but preventing Firefox to start URLs from command line or explicitly requesting Internet access for static HTML files should be enough.

Note: I use NoScript and that helps in this case, but it is not a bullet proof solution. It may be possible that one of the CDN I have allowed gets hacked with malicious JavaScript. If the malware is already on the PC, it can connect to the remote server using the hacked CDN that is allowed in NoScript. This is a two piece attack, but I still think that using Firefox to access to random URL from command line is dangerous and should have an option to be turned off.

I continue to receive these notices from Bitdefender, what is this about? "firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to pocklington.mitremedia.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk."
