Firefox Support Forum

I'm running a UI deployment with a web-app and Firefox on an Ubuntu system.

I'm running Firefox with the flag "--kiosk" to place it into kiosk mode (booted from the command line upon system boot). This works fine, and boots up Firefox to the page I want (my web-app) in kiosk mode (full-screen, etc.)

However, I get very annoying popups that are not acceptable for deployments in front of customers. I have tried, but CANNOT suppress all of them, or, when I thought I did, they came back a month later.

Popups:

1. "Keep pesky trackers off your tail. Open my links with Firefox" 2. "Welcome back" 3. Others like this...

These are Firefox browser popups, not related to popups that other websites can put up, and block the entire screen with an overlay until they are dismissed. My deployments are only going to a single web-page that I control (which has no popups) and there is no keyboard on the deployed system, so people cannot navigate elsewhere.

Things I've tried:

1. Firefox is installed via snap, which provides "snapshotting" configuration for the Firefox snap. I loaded Firefox, cleared the annoying dialogs, and then took a snapshot (theorying that I set Firefox configuration when doing this, and I capture that in the snapshot) and re-installed it onto a new system. Still go popups 2. Looked into user.js preferences. I can install this file onto the system, so I looked through https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/source/remote/shared/RecommendedPreferences.sys.mjs and this is how I initially got all the popups to disable themselves. I looked through that list and tested most of the recommended settings until the popups disappeared. However, after a month or so, I'm beginning to see the popups again.

Any suggestions from Mozilla or others that run into this issue?

I can make one of five possible usernames appear in the earthlink.net login field. I can not get the default login username to be blank when I go to earthlink.net. How do I do this?

FYI, If the username field is blank, firefox will display a drop down list of all five logins and selecting one will fill in both the username and password field. I think this is pretty slick if only I could get the usename field to default to blank when I first go to the earthlink website.

Firefox 122.0.1 (64 bit) Windows 10

Thanks for your help.

The title pretty much says it. On some phpBB forum I am member of, since yesterday, I can't write long messages and see what I'm writing.

When my texte is bigger than the default frame, the scrollbar jumps at the top of the post while i'm still writing. This doesn't happen with other browers on same webpage.

Possibility : the deepl addon i just installed  ?

Any idea ?

(sorry if i'm not clear enough, english is not my first language)

I have multiple Microphones on my PC. I don't want to Plug them in and out Everytime, and some can't be unpluggt. Also i want the freedom to choose easily. I would love to change it in the "Permission for web.whatsapp.com" Menue thats drops down when i klick on it in the Adressbar. See picture attached.

I have my bookmarks synced from two accounts on chrome. It worked fine, but now it stopped. My bookmarks toolbar is empty, except for an icon to fullscreen. It acts as if I have all of my bookmarks on there, and I can access them in the menu function. They're just not on the toolbar.

I've already hid/shown the toolbar multiple times, I've rescynced my browser data, I've fiddled with my toolbar settings, but honestly, I'm at a loss. I'm not the best with computers so if there's an obvious answer please let me know. Thank you!

After updating to the new version of Pocket on my Windows 10 pc, I found that all my previous saves have disappeared- even after switching to Mozilla Firefox browser. How do I get them back? This is a disaster.

For several weeks now, whenever I close Firefox and shut down my iMac and open Gmail the next day, Gmail seems to forget which emails I have already read, and it marks many old emails as unread. Deleting the Google cache and cookies helps, but only temporarily. This problem doesn't seem to occur when using a different browser, such as Safari, or when using the built-in MacOS email client. Therefore, I'm thinking it's a buggy interaction between Firefox and Gmail. I didn't used to have this problem, so perhaps it's related to a Firefox update? Anyhow, I'm hoping someone can help. Thanks!

I am no tech expert.....I have not Idea of the problem..I have used these email programs for years with no problems for years. Any help would be greatfuly appriciated.

Hello,

i imported Firefox bookmarks to Firefox on another user account and i am not getting thumbnails! Both on bookmark's bar and inside bookmark browser :/

How to fix this?

Thanks!

I feel this can only be corrected by an adjustment to the version, am on 122.0.1 as the latest update. My O/S Linux Mint Mate v20.0.3. Have NOT been to any schooling or even just a class for any training, all done as my curiosity has driven me to learn on my own, Self-taught and have been working with CPU`s for over 35 years, I am 84...

Getting to this point has been a rather long drawn-out process that has been a bit confusing hope this info is acceptable.

Wanderero P.S. Must go and fix my supper at this point, will check back later. Thank you for reading my request. Hope things are going well for you at your local...

Can anyone tell me what these messages mean in my Browser Cache:

Experiment next-generation-accessibility-engine-powering-screen-readers has unknown featureId: accessibilityCache RemoteSettingsExperimentLoader.sys.mjs:596:21

this.window.gBrowserInit is undefined ext-browser.js:1115

HTTPS-Only Mode: Not upgrading insecure request “http://detectportal.firefox.com/success.txt?ipv4” because it is exempt.

On my Laptop I always get the Message "Der Browser wird durch Ihre Organisation verwaltet" (No. 1). To change this I should go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE via REGEDIT. Then to SOFTWARE / POLICIES / ???. There should be an entry MOZILLA or FIREFOX. I dont have this (No. 2). So I should go to FIREFOX "about:config" and there I should change "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" from "true" to "false". But it is (the ONLY) setting, which is locked (No. 3).

So I do not know, how I can remove this "Your browser is being managed by your organisation".

Can you help me?? I am my own organisation....

My up-to-date Firefox running in Windows 10 stopped loading Washington Post 2 days ago. Cleared cookies & cache w/o luck. The page partially loads but doesn't show photos and only loads first few articles. NYT and other similar sites run fine. Suggestions?

You can define a certain shortcut in Apple ios or os x systems for example: typing 'cul' we get a full text: "see you later". It's not working in Firefox for some reason. Is it possible to implement this feature in Firefox. Lack of it is sooo PIA.

After just turning on my computer running Windows 10, I opened Firefox. I open 1 web site and noticed my computer showed a (16) prefix when loading Firefox. I opened the Task Manager and it showed that there were 15 instances of "firefox" running in the background. All showed a UAC Virtulization of "Disabled". But they also showed using 638.8MB of memory. I do not know whether these are necessary files that must run in the background or if the number of files indicates that my system has been hacked and someone else is in my system from outside. Any suggestions as to validity of these files running or how I might confirm that they should be running. I have noticed the number of excessive background files before but the number is never consistent which makes me fear I may have been hacked.

How do I update Firefox? Or is this system out of date? I run OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
