Firefox Community Forum

Hello community, I'm a lifelong Google Chrome user just now transferring to Mozilla Firefox and I was wondering if it's possible to tab-to-search with, for example, youtube? Here is an example of a person doing the exact same thing I'm trying to achieve. Thank you!

Hey, so I accidentally deleted a password on my pc in firefox, but on my phone its still "stored" but when I click on the password, it doesnt show it anymore.

is there a way to restore the password? without a backup or anything?

hello, running win11, ff128. the tabs are currently located at the top of the window, just above the address bar.

how can the tab bar be relocated to the bottom of the screen / window directly above the taskbar?

a long time ago there was an extension "tabmixplus" that gave the option of locating the tabs anywhere, but firefox updates broke it. i then found a userchrome script that performed the desired action, but ff updates broke it.

advice? solution? userchrome script? extension? thanks

Search bar is pink and every time I open firefox the first time of the day it comes up pink. Very irritating and makes me wonder if firefox is worth keeping. Thanks

Videos on the NY Times web site never play on my Windows 10 PC, though they do run on my Windows 11 and iPad Firefox. Have disabled all script and ad-blockers without effect. If I click on the Play arrow, I get the circle animation that never ends. Windows FF version 128.0.2 64-bit on both 10 and 11; can't tell what the iPad version is but it works.

Firefox Desktop failed last night 7/24/24 after 8:00 PM PDT the Windows 10 failure message is; XLU runner Error platform version 128.0.2 is not compatible with 128.0 Min or 128.0 Max:

I need Firefox to run, I can run Google Chrome but want to return to Firefox that failed last night.

I have an address/search bar at the top of my screen AND one in the center of my home web page beneath the Firefox logo/brand. Currently, if I want to effect a search the Firefox web homepage uses the address bar across to top of the page. I want to set a preference/priority to using the search bar beneath the Firefox logo/brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Everytime I start firefox, none of my previous tabs are re-opened. This is the same even if I ENABLED "Open previous windows and tabs"

What is the problem?

I'm using Firefox version 128.0.2 (64-bit) for Windows OS

I have ordered some goods online and have been offered the option to track the goods. But I can't, because Firefox thinks the tracking page has a fake certificate.

I can go to the website of the delivery company and it has a box where I can enter the order number. This is ambiguous (more than one supplier uses the company) so it lists the two possibilities. I click on the right one and it is at this stage I get the fake certificate warning. I cannot bypass it, because trying to do so simply brings up the same warning.

I've been in touch with the suppliers. Their customer service desk can track the order with no problem. So where is the problem?

They say they can track it using Firefox on Windows, Android and Mac systems but have no Linux available. I only have two Linux systems here (Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04), running the latest Firefox on offer (128.0.2 64 bit), both of which throw up the fake certificate problem, but with slightly different certificate dates (within the last 5 weeks), older than the genuine cert. I have pdfs of both the genuine one and one of the fake ones as produced by Firefox.

This is not a show-stopper this time as I can track the order by phone and email, but there is clearly a problem somewhere, either with both the Firefox versions I have or with the certification verification process.

If it's a Firefox issue, I don't know how to let them know.

Recently my PC has died from the hardware crash. So I've bought another PC and installed Firefox. While other browsers seem to nicely sync bookmarks and history from the previous PC, Firefox didn't do that although I have been logged into my Firefox account on both PCs and I can clearly see the other PC in devices using this account. What is the reason for that?

Why is it asking for progress from the script that will apply it works fine on chrome and no progress is visible on firefox

<div class="ossn-videos-add-button">
  <input type="file" name="ossnvideo[]" multiple class="hidden" id="add" accept="video/mp4" />
  <input type="hidden" id="mytext" name="mytext">
  <button type="button" id="ossn-videos-add-button-inner" class="btn btn-default"><i class="fa fa-copy"></i> <?php echo ossn_print('video:select'); ?></button>
  <div class="images"><i class="fa fa-video"></i> <span class="count">0</span></div>
</div>

<input type="submit" class="ossn-hidden" id="ossn-videos-submit" />

<img id="thumbnail" />
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="0" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 0%;">
    0%
  </div>
</div>

<script>
  var input = document.getElementById('add');
  var submitButton = document.getElementById('ossn-videos-submit');
  var img = document.getElementById('thumbnail');
  var progressBar = document.querySelector('.progress-bar');

  input.addEventListener('change', function (event) {
    var file = this.files[0];
    var url = URL.createObjectURL(file);

    if (file.type === 'video/mp4') {
      createThumbnail(url, img, file);
    } else {
      // Unsupported file type
      img.src = '';
      progressBar.style.width = '0%';
      progressBar.setAttribute('aria-valuenow', '0');
      progressBar.textContent = '0%';
    }
  });

  submitButton.addEventListener('click', function () {
    // Create a new FormData object
    var formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('ossnvideo[]', input.files[0]);
    formData.append('thumbnail', img.src); // Add the thumbnail to the form data

    // Create a new XMLHttpRequest object
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

    // Set up the progress event listener
    xhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function (event) {
      if (event.lengthComputable) {
        var percentComplete = (event.loaded / event.total) * 100;
        progressBar.style.width = percentComplete + '%';
        progressBar.setAttribute('aria-valuenow', Math.round(percentComplete));
        progressBar.textContent = Math.round(percentComplete) + '%';
      }
    });

    // Set up the load event listener
    xhr.addEventListener('load', function () {
      if (xhr.status === 200) {
        console.log('File uploaded successfully');
      } else {
        console.error('Error uploading file');
      }
    });

    // Open the request and send the form data
    xhr.open('POST', 'your-upload-script.php', true);
    xhr.send(formData);
  });

  function createThumbnail(videoUrl, targetImg, file) {
    var video = document.createElement('video');
    video.preload = 'metadata';
    video.src = videoUrl;

    video.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', function () {
      var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
      canvas.width = 150;
      canvas.height = 280;
      var context = canvas.getContext('2d');

      // Set the video's current time to the middle of the video
      video.currentTime = video.duration / 2;

      video.addEventListener('canplaythrough', function () {
        context.drawImage(video, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
        targetImg.src = canvas.toDataURL('image/png', 0.8);
        document.getElementById("mytext").value = targetImg.src;
      });
    });
  }

Hello. When opening links from a search, I would like to have them always open in a new tab. How can I set this as a preference in Mozilla / Firefox?

Currently, I always right click and must select "open link in new tab." I see the option in Settings to "always open in new window", but that is not my objective. I would like to open in new tab, so that I retain my original search results in the current tab.

Thank you.

Hello support. Since your last update, the "Allow cookie" popup is no longer displayed in the Firefox incognito tab on our site which leads to all functions being blocked. We have tried to identify the problem, but on different computers with the same (current) version of Firefox, we have the result that sometimes the popup is displayed and sometimes not. Why does Firefox block our “Allow cookies” popup in the private window?

I have cancelled my subscription which you say you will return if I cancel within 30 days? Is that correct. Also I want to cancel the VPN on my desktop and phone now but I can't see how I can achieve this. I would be grateful for your help.

Thank you.
