Firefox Support Forum

Two days ago my Firefox download box started showing AppFile_qqasdc.exe as containing a virus.

I delete it. it returns whenever i restart Firefox.

I cannot find the file on my hard drive, in the registry or anywhere on my system.

A copy of the download link is:

HELP!

answer my question?

Firefox won't let me save new password because it "is not a common password." what does that mean? Aren't passwords supposed to be "not common?"

There used to be a series of icons for the sites I used frequently. This was at the top of the page when I opened. Today they are all gone; they were there last night. And, no, no one else uses the computer.

What happened? Can I get them back?

I see no way to set the system-wide default zoom to 70% as each time I do so and reboot, it is reset to 100%

This is, sadly, extremely frustrating after 3 decades of happily using FF.

Brave does it right.

With all respect, why not FF?

Your thoughts, please.

I have started doing research on Vietnam Veterans using the online Coffelt database (coffeltdatabase.org). The search results pages often provide links to supporting documents, but I am not able to open them in the Firefox browser. However, I am able to open them when using the Edge browser. I prefer Firefox and would like to know if there is a setting adjustment I could make to fix the issue. Thanks.

I can't change the name of one of my firefox profiles. I have an error where the name is too long and it cannot be changed. Is there any way to do this other than creating a new profile and deleting the old one?

Currently www.trackitonline.ru currently acceptable in Russian (after I restarted PC & started CCleaner), but does not work in English

When is Firefox going to solve the "Text in certain web pages became invisible"? I have a long list of webpages that I have been collecting for a couple of years that have text that is invisible unless one uses Ctl-A to select all the text on the page. It's probably over 20 items long. The last one I found is unfortunately all the pages of an ebook that I have to read online using the publisher's ebook app that is not downloadable. It's a medical book with a lot of illustrations and charts. I gave up and opened the "hated" MS browser Edge.

I have the latest version of Firefox--"117.0 (64-bit)".

Within the last day (not sure exactly when) when I try to open Firefox with an external link and there is no existing window, it opens but seems to ignore the link itself. If I then try the external link again with the new window that was opened the first time it will open a new tab and display the link. Up till now it has been working fine and I've made no changes to Firefox for a while, though I do see that my Firefox was updated at about 2am on August 30, two days ago, from version 116.0.3 to 117.0.

I'm running MacOS 13.5.1 Ventura. I did just update that from MacOS 13.5 Ventura. Unfortunately I only noticed this after that update and do recall this Firefox problem occurring before I looked closely enough to know what was happening (that feeling you get when you feel like something is different but you don't quite know what) so I don't know if it only began after the MacOS update.

I did play around with:

browser.link.open_newwindow ,
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external , and
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction

settings to see if they might make a difference but nothing fixed the problem. But I restricted myself to settings that seemed likely and haven't checked out every possible combination.

If I wasn't brain dead just now I'd try to give more info but just can't. Sorry. Thanks for your help.

Hello, since recently when I click on links in external programs like mail or shortcuts, etc... Firefox starts up but does not open the link. If Firefox is already running the links open normally. I never had this issue before and I have it on my 2 computers. Firefox is synced to both computers but different OS. (no problems on ios) I tried to disable all extension : no change.

I am on MAC OS 12.6.3 or 13.3.1 Firefox 117.0

I have used Firefox for a long time, and it is the browser I prefer. Unfortunately over the last 6 months I am increasing having problems opening up webpages I normally view on Firefox! When I switch over to Google Chrome (NOT my preference!) those same pages open with no problems! What's up with this?

DEAR SIR, I HAVE USED A SINCE TIME MOZILA, I HAVE RESET MY PC AND REINSTAL APP, AND LOGIN WITH MY ID AND SYNC IS ON..BUT CANT RETRIVE NY HISTORY ND ALL DATA..CAN I HAVE IT BACK ?
