Firefox Support Forum

On opening Firefox I receive the following message: End Of Life Your version of Linux Mint is no longer supported! I am Up to date (Firefox 104.0.1~lnuxmint1+elsie) updated 3 Sep 22. The is a link for installation instructions, but I do not trust it. Am I wrong? or is there something else going on? Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks

I've been implementing my own file hosting / streaming platform and managed that my solution performs a lot better in Chrome compared to Firefox. Of course the actual download speed is the same, but it seems firefox buffers a much larger byte range before starting to play the video compared to chrome.

For example, the first screenshot shows network traffic in Firefox between opening the page until the second the video starts playing. As you can see, Firefox loads 346.58 MB of data in 19.01 seconds (including one 326.70 MB range request for bytes 19365888-5071292588/5071292589) before the video starts playing. This results in almost 1 minute of video to be buffered before playback begins.

Whereas in chrome, the video starts almost immediately after only buffering smaller byte ranges (as shown in the second screenshot). What's interesting is that chrome seems to request the entire rest of the video immediately after but keeps streaming the received bytes instead of waiting for the entire range request to complete, so the last request in the third screenshot just keeps growing in size while the video plays.

I was wondering if there's something I could tweak on my end or if this is something that could be improved in Firefox. It seems odd that Firefox buffers such large chunks of videos before playback begins.

I'm a gamer and alt+tab considerably often. Most of the time I end up on FireFox because I need to look at a map or browse reddit while I'm in queue. However, whenever I alt+tab frequently a bookmark will get selected as if I am clicking and dragging. The bookmarks on the bookmark tool bar always end up in different places. Is there a way to lock these links in place so I can't move them or do I have to resign myself to fixing it every day?

I am running Unix Ubuntu 22.04 with Firefox 104.0.01 (64 bit). My Canon LBP 6230DW works fine in my word processor and in Chrome, but it does not show up in the Printer destination field when I am in Firefox. The only print option is to "Save as PDF." How do I get the Canon to be a print destination in Firefox?

www.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR www.facebook.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Hi, This occurred after a moment of power loss during a thunderstorm on my Lenovo desktop. All my other sites as far as i can tell are ok. I used Edge and was able to access FB and Google on Desktop] i checked and the current version of firefox is installed on desktop

even weirder, i can access both google and FB on my laptop with firefox. I've tried syncing the two with having bookmarks etc. i can sync from laptop to desktop but not vise versa.

i thought I'd uninstall and reinstall firefox but i don't want to lose any info esp my Bookmarks on the Desktop hence why i was trying to sync the two.

My desktop is older, maybe 5-6 years, my laptop is 1 year old. Dunno if this matters. thanks, Jan

Hi all,

Recently, my win 10 crashed and although I managed to recover some operative, I found to my horror that the desktop screen text size and contrast cannot be changed now. The current default setup is a real eye sorer, so I opened personalization settings but there is nothing on how to change this very theme, other than other posts suggesting entering the regedit system files. I am very reluctant to tinker with this given the Win10 application crashes. Running maintenance doesn´t do much. I notice that Firefox also has access to this very text size and font theme for web domains, but I am very wary again of tinkering an unknown. What the heck can one do, confidently without the system resetting itself? One thing is for sure, it seems Win10 home edition update 21H1/2 versions is basically treating users very badly, as if MS wants to ignore them. Bless us all when the embedded caption suggests "ready to update to Win11". I´m highly inclined to bin it.

Whenever I try to add an attachment to my Gmail message it freezes and locks up Firefox and I have to restart Firefox. I can move to another browser and it works just fine so it is a Firefox issue. Also, Firefox is very slow, especially with certain sites like Amazon, Wayfair, etc. It gets slower the longer you use those sites. I cannot even open some sites such as my bank, Navy Federal Credit Union and Etsy. I can open them on a different browser same computer. While I like that Firefox helps with privacy I think I am going to have to move to another browser as I can no longer tolerate these issues. If you have fixes, that would help. I couldn't find any on the Help search.

After downloading Firefox on my other computer this strange popup started appearing. I have uninstalled Firefox on that computer but the popup remains. How do I get rid of it?

Long time Firefox/Mozilla user. Installed/upgraded/migrated on Win, Android, Linux (various distros) over the years.

This was posted under migration but might be relevant in this topic.

Built a new Win 10 system 11/21. Installed Firefox, logged in and Enabled Sync. Installed licensed Adobe photo editing software. No problems. Used for 2 weeks.

Spent 5 months in hospital.

Back home, used new PC for ~45 days; Win 10 went wiggy on me after an update - could not get to Settings menu ya da ya da. It went downhill from there. No identifiable hardware issues (tested memory and (.m2) boot drive, etc

Tried many fixes to Windows while trying to keep user data. Ended up reinstalling Win 10 (multiple times...). System working, but no bookmarks/passwords. Installed Firefox. Of course, it didn't work - understandibly.

Went to old PC, Firefox does not seem to give me the option to *see* my login password); looked up Firefox password (I hated to do it, but with ~500 userid/passwords, I started to let FF manage these a few years back). Found it. Went to new box and logged in. Password error. Digging deeper, it *appears* that the present password was set circa 2015 and the Firefox saved password was set circa 2021.

I've now been fussing with this a week. Searching, searching; trying pretty much everything I can think of. Nothing works.

Any path forward besides changing passwords on all of the involved (~20+) devices?

Now I need to try to recall where I put the recovery key ... (yes, I have since embarked on an extensive backup/restore point campaign which includes backing up backup system software).

Yahoo mail Cannot select a message using the checkbox. Cannot reply, delete, etc. Trash icons are missing All works in Google Chrome. Clearing cache/cookies, restarting computer, nothing works.

Hello,

I've taken to using Vivaldi as my work browser and use the footer zoom slider quite often. While the dropdown menu in FF isn't terrible, it's still one more step to enable. And additional steps if I need to tweak. Anyone know a safe way to add this to the FF footer?

And while we're at it, where is the footer?

Thanks

Getting sick of FireFox, I want to search from the GOOGLE SEARCH BAR, not the address bar, but the settings don't work you can choose to have the search bar next to the address bar, but it doesn't work, the google search bar doesn't work either, no matter what setting, your search ends up in the address bar, with all the updates, they don't fix crap on here, when someone makes a complaint, FIX THE CRAP, I don't need to ask 100 people why it wont work, just FIX IT!!

FireFox keeps putting a .jpg at the end of any file I try to download with .exe as its extension and adds a .jpg, example, when I download QU210InstallFiles.exe it changes it to QU210InstallFiles.exe.jpg and I cannot there for install the program because it has the .jpg added to it and it wants to open in windows media viewer instead. It never use to do this, what have you guys done....uuhhhh, any help would be nice and I thank you. Daniel Goggia

Hi, I am not a techie. Windows 10, 64. Firefox 104.01 When I am trying to sign into PrimeVideo dot com, with my amazon dot in account I am directed to this url: https://eu.primevideo.com/ap/return?arb=d43a7325-2b6e-419a-8857-635c050b13ca and an error message appears: ' Looking for Something? We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site. " I tried signing in with the same acct details with other browsers like Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi etc and there are no issues. It appears the problem is with Firefox. I deleted cookies, purged data, deleted the page and such. There is no use. Now the issue is how do I get rid of that URL ? What do you think I should be doing? Thanks for your time.

Suddenly today a message appeared at the top of my settings page saying: "your browser is being managed by your organization". I am on a personal computer in my home, the only computer I have. I don't have an organization. Have I been hacked or why is this suddenly on my settings? I am not very tech literate, an older person so can't do very complex things. I don't want anyone but me managing my settings. I am the only one using my computer. I am on Windows 7 Home premium.

I am trying to access 2 giff gaff accouns to change my pay in information[card going out of useable time] and need to be done during Sepember 2022. No matter what I try I cannot get on to their system. Is there some form of block in my firefox system that will not allow me - I am told I need to allow them, but I simply do not understand how? Where are Preferences and how do I access them?

When I update my website, It is unable to make the update public as the message that comes up tells me another website has embedded mine. How do I rectify this problem please?
