bold textI need to sync my phone to my new computer so I can get my bookmarks and passwords transferred over to my new computer. I am afraid to scan the QR code because it reads as if it will sync this empty canvas to my phone and wipe all of my data out. What steps do I need to take?

When I open a new browser window the page slides sideways, how do I turn this effect off? It never did this before, and it is extremely annoying.

The new window appears to slide from the left side of the screen across the screen until it is fully visible; that's what I am trying to describe. As if a card was being dragged out of the left side of the screen, across the page. I hope someone knows how to make this animation stop, please?

When I go to a website that can push notifications, next to the url there's this animation that you can click to allow the notifications. I want to turn off this animation. This question has been asked before and the answer was: "Go to about:config and set dom.webnotifications.enabled = false". I did this, but I still have the animation. What should i do?

Hello,

I keep getting the following error message when trying to access some of my usual websites e.g Foxtel, Woolworths:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.foxtel.com.au/distauth/UI/Login?" on this server.

Reference #18.98464868.1671499840.1080e795

This started in the last few days and can't understand why now. I do have Nortons installed but this has never caused a problem before.

Hope you can help, thanks, Phil

Po aktualizacji czcionki stały się kwadratowe i nieczytelne. Chciałam całkiem wyłączyć aktualizacje automatyczne bo tylko szkodzą ale się nie da. Pomoc też nie działa trzeba szukać w milionach artykułów a i tak nie ma rozwiązań konkretnego problemu. Jestem o krok od dezinstalacji Firefoxa choć używam go od lat, ale jeśli nie dostanę teraz pomocy to czas zmienić przeglądarkę. Dodatkowo tryb pełnoekranowy po pewnym czasie staje sie czarny ekran i się zawiesza dopiero odświeżanie pomaga ale też na różny czas czasem na dłu żej a czasem na chwilę tylko. Znalezienie rozwiązania graniczyy z cudem bo nie ma bezpośredniej pomocy ty;lko czytanie miliona niezwiązanych artykułów

I have a dozen old embedded device modules (circa 2003) which can host a web page. When I access the device through my local intranet (192.168.0.xxx), the web page displays correctly. However, when the same page is accessed through my DNS service (xxx.gotdns.org:xxxx) over the web, the Firefox INSPECT:network tool indicates that the document is type:text and displays the HTML in a text format. The first line of the HTML document is :<!DOCTYPE html>.....

These devices are non-secure information-only devices, but at least Firefox allows for HTTP: exceptions.

However, I cannot understand why Firefox treats the same content differently depending on the path. Is there a way to force Firefox to actually look at the contents of the packet and treat it accordingly?

I use TitanTV as a local TV guide listing. It has worked well for me over the last ten-plus years. However, I have another Firefox annoyance (That MS Edge does not have), that locks up TitanTV. The "enhanced tracking" turns itself on every time, even if I turn it off.

What I need to do is permanently set "enhanced tracking" OFF when I access https://www.titantv.com/default.aspx. Otherwise I have to manually click it off, every time. How do I do that?

Thanks for the time, Jim [email removed from public]

While installing a new phone, my firefox account got messed up and the recovery codes I had saved earlier don't work. So, the only way is to create a new e-mail address, just for syncing purposes, but now the account won't add other equipment, phone etc. there seems to be confusion as to which account to use. Most of the time it ask for the old account, and changing to the new account results in PW unknown (even though this was correctly recorded). Logging into the account to get mail from scratch is possible, but any referred login fails (i.e., I tried to get Moz VPN to work, but it asked for the old e-mail address, and changing it to the new address gives PW failure). On top of that,the authenticator doesn't generate 6 digit codes but 8, so that route can't be used either.

Hope someone can advise how to escape this mess.

Hi, because I have many opened Bookmarks therefore I used very often in the past on the right side of the Bookmarks line the ">" signs for scrolling or the "v" signs for list all open bookmarks. Now, I miss them. The left one "<" for scrooling left is available. But if I use View > Toolsbars > Customize Toolbar, then I can see both signs. What can I do now to see them again? Specially the list bookmarks is important for me for quick navigation. I use the newest browser version 108.0.1 (64bit) on Windows 10

The latest Firefox centers the File Menu. This UI change is counter to every other application on my PC and is extremely undesirable. (Also, I note that when you try to customize the Toolbar, it suddenly left-aligns again.)

How do I left-align the File Menu again—so that it functions the same as every other application in Windows?

The Update to 108.0.1 succeeded, but the partial process for "sync" still shows as partway. Must've clicked that item by mistake, and then killed it after seeing the scope--since I don't use a smartphone., etc., anyway!

We should be cautioned that this 108.0.1 upgrade is a complicated one. At midnight I just wanted to do a SIMPLE update (release notes listed just one item), shut it off and hit the sack --not be swamped with all the myriad new choices and features to learm! --as I now see.

When connecting to a sveltekit development server on localhost, the connection takes 4 seconds to connect. These 4 seconds are almost entirely spent in "blocked" and "connecting." I'm unsure what to do, other development servers I've set up do not have this problem, and other browsers do not have a problem connecting to the sveltekit development server.

OS: Windows 11 Firefox version: 108.0.1 Reproduction code: https://github.com/A1Liu/testing/tree/repro Reproduction: 1. Use Git to clone the repository 2. Checkout the "repro" branch in Git 3. Run the development server by installing dependencies with Yarn and then running 'yarn dev' 4. Go to localhost:5173, open network pane, and then hard refresh

Expected behavior: When hard refreshing, since I'm connecting to a server running on my own computer, the refresh should be fast

Actual behavior: See image. Blocking and connecting both take 2 seconds, everything else takes less than 100 milliseconds combined.

I have Gyazo installed. To take printscreens it uses "ctrl+shift+..." commands

Since Mozilla Firefox also uses "ctrl+shift+..." commands it happens very oftenly that the console (default F12) opens -> instead of performing my intented printscreen.

==> HOW DO I DISABLE the FIREFOX CTRL+SHIFT+... COMMANDS, so that the console doesn't open when I use my Gyazo ctrl+shift+... commands?

Please don't suggest I change my Gyazo ctrl+shift+... commands, since they work in all other situations perfectly - just not in the browser: Printscreen https://gyazo.com/ea50e6daff95a79ff15d0b1431bd0466

I can connect bluetooth devices to my SurfaceGo and successfully direct audio output to them using Chrome, Edge, or internal sound files. But in Firefox the audio only goes thru the internal speaker no matter which audio output device I select. Is there some setting I need to fix so that Firefox will speak to bluetooth devices?
