Firefox Support Forum

Hello,

I am trying to understand if there is a way to customize the tab rearranging behaviour.

In particular, the thing I find very unpractical is that, after a tab is closed, the others do rearrange, but after the mouse goes out of the tab bar. This is particularly annoying when I have to close multiple tabs, since thanks to this behaviour, the tabs which I close after the first one are always the unintended ones.

The solution would be to let the tab rearrangement happen instantly after the closure of the tab. In my opinion even without animations, I do not really care about that.

If you have any suggestions let me know.

Thanks in advance!

So my FF interface language is German but I do write a lot off stuff in English so I installed a bilingual dictionary. I have no clue how to enable it though. In "languages" the default German language is enabled. In "dictionaries" my new dict is enabled. When I right click underlined text in English it offers me either German OR English but not the bilingual dictionary. When I click "add dictionary" I get to the page where I found that bilingual dictionary in the first place. This is very confusing behavior.

I'm unable to access a website on Firefox DDG but I can on Google. Somehow I got to a page somewhere that says "Element.releaseCapture() is deprecated. Use Element.releasePointerCapture() instead. For more help https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Element/releasePointerCapture menupopup.js:160:13". I'm guessing this is telling me the website address is incorrect. I don't know how to find a different "pointer" nor do I know how to enter the correct pointer into a phrase I can't find. Can someone please tell me what to do? Thanks.

i logged in to my firefox account on my daughters laptop - but my bookmarks didn't appear - when i synced now her bookmarks have replaced mine - i want mine back please

Firefox (113.0.1 (64-bit), Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu) won't open files in a filesystem other than the filesystem on which my home directory resides. I have a second filesystem mounted at /970 but trying to open any file whose URL starts with file:///970 elicits a "File not found" error message, e.g. "Firefox can’t find the file at /970/stuff.jpg". Setting security.sandbox.content.level to a lower number (I've tried 0, 1, and 2) does not fix the problem. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Firefox; it started after I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (x86_64)which got me a newer Firefox as well. Chrome continues to open files in /970 with no difficulty.

mount information for / (which includes my home directory) and /970: /dev/nvme0n1p2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,stripe=32) /dev/nvme1n1p3 on /970 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,x-gvfs-show)

When I see a power point slide on LinkedIn I get this Tab above the slide saying "Scanning for Viruses". It has the options "accessibility mode", "Download Document", "Exit Full Screen", "Skip", "Cancel", "Download", "Proceed anyways". (See picture). Normally it's just a Power Point Slide and I can just click on the right to see more but I can't anymore and I can't make the tab go away.

I looked at this post from Chrome and it works without issue. I disabled all my extensions and it is still happening.

Please let me know what i need to do for this to stop. My only guess is that I updated my Firefox recently, so maybe some new update caused this?

Thank you!!

When i start up Firefox, or go to a new website, i get a "Cannot Load Page" message for the first 1-3 attempts. It can take several minutes to access the internet every day. No other devices, or Thunderbird have any difficulties. I have the latest versions, completely removed my firewalls, installed a new Arris wi-fi system (my desktop is hard-wired,) and uninstalled my Norton - there has been no changes. Its getting very frustrating because i am dealing with new life issues, and trying to research documents is like pulling teeth. I need this fixed or i will need to try a new browser.

I have a Firefox account and I want to recover my bookmarks and passwords. My Windows 10 PC didn't boot up so I had to do a factory reset. After the reset, I logged into Firefox and tried using the Import and Backup tool. There was only one recovery date so I chose that. I clicked on the date and was prompted "This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the backup. Are you sure?" I click OK and nothing happens. I didn't see my bookmarks and rebooted my computer.

It sounds like this might be two different issues: Bookmarks and Passwords.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, I have had an issue for a couple of weeks now, very annoying, when say in excel or intellij, I am pressing the tab button, and for example, it doesnt indent as it should 4 spaces, instead it goes outside of what I am working on, and goes to firefoxview in top left, and if I press tab about 10-12 times, after this specific and exact sequence, it will end up back in excel for example, in the correct place, and then will work properly, but only after it has completed the first 10-12 steps. It is not specific to one laptop, but also applies to desktop, both are apple, one laptop is 9 years old desktop is newish fwiw.

Tried resetting keyboard to default settings on both etc, no change.

Help appreciated.

I am wondering if there is a way to get a menu of bookmarks to show up in the context menu when you right-click within a webpage in Firefox.

Chrome has this extension, (and others that are similar) : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/context-bookmarks/ednnkpljcbpjcoplcooifiblghkephlh?hl=en

and I am wondering if there is a native way to achieve the same thing in Firefox? And if not, perhaps an extension? I've searched for extensions like this but haven't found any.

Hi,

When I try to sign on to my bank, PNC, I always get annoying two step verification. The problem is with Firefox. When I use troubleshoot, this does not happen. When I use Chrome it does not happen. It does not happen on mobile. Help!

Thank You, Leslie

My companies website is www.aoneengraving.com. You have been able to open it on Fire Fox for years. After Network Solutions , my provider reissued my SSL certificate you can not open it on Fire Fox. You can open it on any other browser. This is the message you get

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.aoneengraving.com. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Network Solutions has spent days trying to figure it out and they can not. They gave up and told me I should contact you.

This is costing me money every day it is down. I need to get it back up as quickly as possible. Can you help? Bob Monette

Firefox automatically updated and now tabs sync, which I absolutely hate and want to implode the Earth because this even exists. I go to the options to turn off the stupid pointless sync and oh wait it doesn't turn off. The box is not checked. Tabs still sync and display a worthless icon on my taskbar because apparently Mozilla thinks I'm such an idiot I need AN EXTRA FRICKING ICON to tell me I have open tabs in my browser.

So how do I actually turn this trashbag "feature" off if it's not by deselecting it in the "Sync" panel, since that doesn't work?

Fonts are often way too bold it's unreadable — for example, in the attached screenshot, c is so thick it's looks like o. In other browsers it looks fine. Been having this problem for half a year. Win 10, Firefox 113.0.1

Yahoo mail push notifications stopped working around 5/25/23. I have Firefox v113.0.1 from the automatic updates. The notifications were coming, now they don't. Firefox still sends notices from other email services, and yahoo notices still work with other browsers.

How to I go back to the previous version of Firefox?
