This will be brief.

Can I rename the .corrupt file to restore my logins and passwords? This seems to have occurred during the last update. I am have heart palpitations. I have no other backups.

I have two .corrupt files created at the same time (see image), but their appear identical. This is odd. Does this even matter.

thanks for your help,

Liz

Hi Firefox team Hope you are doing well. Having been using FIREFOX for ages, continue to use it and tell others to use it.

For the last couple of days encountering a problem. I regularly visit www.tribalfootball.com website to read soccer news. Never had any issue. For the last two days, when I go to www.tribalfootball.com, the home page of the site comesup, but then automatically takes me to https://duta.in/tribalfootball-iframe.php after few seconds. Whatever I do to get back to tribalfootball site home page, it again takes me to duta.in website.

Don't know why this is happening and also don't know how to fix it. Uninstalled FIREFOX from my macbook and installed again but the issue still remains. Any help from you would be great. Note that I don't see this issue in Safari browser.

Thanks, Kumara

Can I use Protectimus OTP for Firefox 2FA, instead of Google Authenticator or Authy, or the others listed in the 2FA guidance? I already have some other accounts set up with Protectimus and would prefer to stick with one 2FA authenticator app.

Thanks.

I went to settings and set firefox to open links in a NEW TAB instead of a new window, but it still opens links in a new window. I did a search on google and when I click on the link for the website to see the information it is still opening in a new window. How can I fix this so I don't have a lot of new windows. It's irritating to have to close all those stinking windows just to get back to my original window. I just want the links I click on to open in a new tab.

How do I remove old autosave phone number permanently? I can remove it at the form by clicking on it but this only removes it this one time. I have to fill out forms regularly. Firefox auto fills my old phone every time even if I have already entered the correct one. I just need to remove the old phone number from my Firefox completely and permanently so I can replace it with the current one.

Hello,

I have two mac laptops, each have Firefox (FF) installed on them. For Laptop A I am logged into my Firefox account so FF can sync with my iPhone. For Laptop B I am not logged into my FF account. Both laptops, however, are logged into my Apple ID account.

When I am working on both machines at the same time I will get a second FF icon in the Docks of both machines. Clicking on Laptop A's secondary's FF icon will result in the webpage that is open on Laptop B appearing in Laptop A's instance FF.

How is this happening? Is the information being passed through my Apple account?

Can I disable this feature?

Thanks so much.

On the opening splash page (when a new window has been opened) upper-center is the large firefox icon, then below that is the search dialog box, then below that is a series of icons (for me now, there are 8 of them). How do I add icons to this? I know how to remove, but I can't see a way to add the icons I use constantly.

Opening pdfs via "system handler" won't work (but other file types work)

Hello

I want to open pdfs from firefox (snap 101.0.1) with the default application of the system (Xubuntu 22.04) and not open them in a new tab within forefox.

But it does not work, as if there was a problem with the system handler but only for pdfs and not for other file formats.

More details :

  • I changed Preferences/general/Applications for pdfs to use either "always ask" (and then chose "open" " With system handler" when asked) or "default system application". In both cases the pdf is downloaded but not opened. If I right click on the downloaded pdf in the list of downloaded files and then chose "open with system handler", nothing happens.
  • Opening the pdf inside Firefox works well and opening pdfs saved on my disk (outside firefox) as well.
  • Opening other file format by choosing to open them from firefox with the system handler works well too (tested eg with .torrent, .xls, .tif,...).
  • I tried to change the default system application for pdf (Atril) to other softwares without success (Okular, Evince).
  • If I try to open a .djvu file with the "system handler" it is opened correctly using Atril which is the also default for pdfs... So Atril works for .djvu files but not for pdfs...
  • I tried to replace the handlers.json file from my profile by a handler.json file from a brand new profile, without success (I still have a backup of my old profile file if needed). I did that because opening with the system application worked before and the bug appeared after I changed all applications preferences to "always ask" (and there were a lot of them in my rather old handlers.json file).

I'm lost...
