Firefox Support Forum

Hey, The new update v85 damaged something: I always see an I-Beam pointer inside all HTML pages anywhere I click! I hope this can be reversed by the settings, or if not, will get a fix soon :( Until then, where to download the latest version 84? Thanks :)

Hi, I have 2 issues. 1. In online banking (ANZ Australia), when I scroll down the banking activities screen I get to the bottom, then it loads more history details. This feature only works sometimes, but always works in other browsers. 2. Our Bureau of Meteorology weather map page (http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR023.loop.shtml) sometimes doesn't load the overlay data, but always does in other browsers. I see this maybe 1 in 10 times I visit the site, and it always returns to normal after a while. Examples attached. Both issues are intermittent. My Firefox is up to date - set to automatically update. At first I thought it would be a permissions thing, but then the issues would be permanent. I would love any clues what to look for. Thanks!

Hi

I have a business and I have a somewhat complex bookmark folder setup on me desktop. This incorporates folders for government (HMRC and Companies House), Clients, Software and personal. I would like to replicate this structure on my laptop. I believe this should be achievable via sync, such that any changes to one is replicated in the other. How do I do this ? Both devices are windows 10.

Hi Guys and Girls,

For the love of all that is keeping me alive at the moment please help solving the issue of spell checker not working.

I have a new MacBook Pro and setup Firfox by installing it and siging in to sync.

The spell checker does not underline the words as I type here or in Google or WhatsApp Web.

Also when I right click no language opion appears.

I does work in Gmail for some weird reason.

After follwing a suggestion of installing an add-on dictionary and resarting Firefox, no change came about.

See attached for more...

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't even know where to begin, or how to describe what is happening in Firefox - I tried updating just now, didn't help.

Please take a look at the screenshots - I am trying to work in Google Analytics, but it's awkward and difficult because the system keeps inserting these random, overlapping text fields...

Thanks for the help.

I am running Windows 10 Pro 19042.746. Firefox is version 85.0.1 64 bit.

I would like to pre-configure firefox so that it has my custom settings and bookmarks.

I'm not sure if this is the correct method to pre-configure settings:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js

pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.cfg

// IMPORTANT: Start your code on the 2nd line. lockPref("app.update.auto", false); lockPref("app.update.enabled", false); lockPref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", ""); lockPref("startup.homepage_override_url", ""); lockPref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.aboutHome.enabled", false); pref("app.shield.optoutstudies.enabled", false); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 0); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 0); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.browser-cleanup-thumbnails", 1612634584); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.rs-experiment-loader-timer", 1612634555); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1612634704); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.services-settings-poll-changes", 0); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.telemetry_modules_ping", 1612634614); pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.telemetry_untrustedmodules_ping", 0); pref("browser.discovery.enabled", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.rec.impressions", "{\"83755\":1612634554787,\"83807\":1612634554788,\"22687889\":1612634554787}"); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.spoc.impressions", "{\"15078464\":[1612634554785]}"); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.highlights", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.topstories", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.snippets", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.topsites", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.highlights.includeBookmarks", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.highlights.includeDownloads", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.highlights.includePocket", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.highlights.includeVisited", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSearch", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsored", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.enabled", false); pref("browser.safebrowsing.provider.google4.lastupdatetime", "1612634570418"); pref("browser.safebrowsing.provider.google4.nextupdatetime", "1612636398418"); pref("browser.search.widget.inNavBar", true); pref("browser.sessionstore.upgradeBackup.latestBuildID", "20210204182252"); pref("browser.shell.mostRecentDateSetAsDefault", "1612634554"); pref("browser.slowStartup.averageTime", 632); pref("browser.slowStartup.samples", 2); pref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:blank"); pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20210204182252"); pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "85.0.1"); pref("browser.startup.lastColdStartupCheck", 1612636306); pref("browser.tabs.loadInBackground", false); pref("browser.tabs.warnOnClose", false); pref("browser.taskbar.previews.enable", true); pref("browser.toolbars.bookmarks.visibility", "always"); pref("browser.uiCustomization.state", "{\"placements\":{\"widget-overflow-fixed-list\":[],\"nav-bar\":[\"back-button\",\"forward-button\",\"stop-reload-button\",\"home-button\",\"print-button\",\"library-button\",\"sidebar-button\",\"urlbar-container\",\"search-container\",\"downloads-button\"],\"toolbar-menubar\":[\"menubar-items\"],\"TabsToolbar\":[\"tabbrowser-tabs\",\"new-tab-button\",\"alltabs-button\"],\"PersonalToolbar\":[\"import-button\",\"personal-bookmarks\"]},\"seen\":[\"developer-button\"],\"dirtyAreaCache\":[\"nav-bar\",\"PersonalToolbar\",\"toolbar-menubar\",\"TabsToolbar\"],\"currentVersion\":16,\"newElementCount\":3}"); pref("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false); pref("dom.forms.autocomplete.formautofill", true); pref("privacy.history.custom", true); pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); pref("services.sync.clients.lastSync", "0"); pref("services.sync.declinedEngines", ""); pref("services.sync.engine.addresses.available", true); pref("services.sync.globalScore", 0); pref("services.sync.nextSync", 0); pref("services.sync.tabs.lastSync", "0"); pref("print.print_footerleft", ""); pref("print.print_footerright", ""); pref("print.print_headerleft", ""); pref("print.print_headerright", "");

Is this the correct method to pre-configure the default user profile? Where can I find a list or generate output so I can see configurable settings?

How to pre-configure firefox window size?

How can I pre-configure my booksmarks on the bookmark tools bar?

Thanks in advance, -Kevin

I would like to ask if there is any solution. I changed my password two weeks ago and forget to write it on paper. Suddenly I reinstall my windows. Also I can´t loggin into mozilla account, so today I change my password again. Finally I logged in, but there weren´t any passwords or bookmarks, which I used to have there. How can I recover them?

Hello, For some reason I need to download and stick to the 84.0.2 for a while, so need to download it from release history. But I'm confused between normal release vs DRM Free release!

1. Which one is the one posted on the public website for public download?

2. Can you please explain DRM Free simply?

Thanks :)

I click control+F but this function does not work on all sites and can't find matches even though I'm sure that word is on the site, so I have to switch over to Google chrome to use this function instead. Am I doing something wrong? It works sporadically. I took a screenshot of it working and not working. I try the exact same website in chrome and it allows me to search.

I'd prefer to use Firefox to log into Walgreens but I can't. I was able to a year ago the last time I shopped on the website. I've tried a lot: 1. Close Firefox and reopen it. 2. Tried Safari (and it did work) 3. Clear your cookies. 4. Clear your cache. 5. Reboot your computer. 6. I installed Firefox on my iPod Touch and it didn't work there either. 7. Go directly to photo.walgreens.com, that didn't work either.

When I try to log in, I get a red pop up that states "We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this service is currently unavailable. Please try again later." I've also tried to reset my password to see if that would help and I can't. I get another red pop that states "We are sorry for the inconvenience, but the service is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

When I tried on my iPod. I installed Firefox for the first time on it, I didn't sync it with my account on my Mac, and I couldn't log into Walgreens.com on there either. I got a completely white screen with this error message: Cannot GET / profile/autologin.jsp4ru=/ The print is so tiny I had to get a magnifying glass. I think it's correct. Then I tried photo.walgreens.com on the iPod. It went directly to the site from the error page from Walgreens.com and I was already logged in, strangely. Even though I just got an error message before! I had to log out of photo.walgreens.com to try to log in directly and got an error message: Cannot GET /profile/autologin.jsp4ru=/sso/sanlRedirect . jsp

I don't know what's changed since I last shopped on walgreens.com a year ago. I tried their technical service and I ended up being told after trying all that and it still doesn't work that Firefox isn't compatible with the Walgreen's website. Is that correct or am I missing something? I appreciate any help.

Hey all, I need to stick to 84.0.2 for a while and need to permanently disable update to 85 or newer builds! But the dumb Firefox downloads itself and install on next launch! Please help me permanently disable updates downloads even when opening about windows, via settings?! Thanks in advance.

I can watch Fubo, Netflix, Disney etc on FireFox - HOWEVER I have deleted history, cache, installed the latest Firefox beta app and I cannot progress past the home screen of Hulu. I can watch Hulu on Microsoft Edge but would much prefer to use FireFox. I even updated to the latest NVidia Driver with no success.

I have changed bout every setting that might possibly restrict Hulu under options/preferences. Sure have not found the elixir.

Do I sit tight waiting for Mozilla to get it handled or look up a Shaman?

Hi

Keep getting the message 'web page is slowing down your browser' whenever I stream video.

I've spent the best part of a day trying all sorts of solutions from the support pages, but the error message is still popping up. It started doing it out of the blue, every 15 minutes or so, now i can't stream as it immediately pops up.

I've even deleted my profile, uninstalled it and did a completely fresh install and it's still happening.

Any help?

Thanks
