Hello, thanks for any help.

I am trying to initiate a Mozilla scan on my iPhone, where Firefox is installed. iOS is 18.7.2.

I begin my login to my Mozilla account, and then in the next window, Firefox (correctly) calls for my 6 digit code from my Authenticator.

BUT, when I "leave" the Firefox page, to go fetch the code, Firefox keeps opening a new webpage, and I lose the page where I would enter the 6 digit code.

I had the WSJ.com as my homepage, and changed this back to the Firefox homepage. This did not solve the problem

I'm exhausted. I'm not a techie, but not a newbie either (after many years).

Hello,

As the title implies, Firefox has been super annoying to use these past few days after moving a tab. I shift tabs around a lot to keep them organized, yet for the first time ever, shifting a tab has caused a permanent glitch on Firefox.

The preexisting workarounds are to try moving a tab to "unfreeze" the address bar and toolbar, or to move the window to another monitor and letting the issue fix itself, but both options have not done anything.

Additionally, as shown in the image attached, the "moved" tab winds up being a floating tab that is unclickable and floats "above" the other tabs. That tab can be accessed only through the CMND + tab option, which is also another inconvenience.

Really hoping the community has a solve because I transferred from Google Chrome due to Ublock becoming obsolete on that browser, and I would prefer not having to find another browser. Thank you!

The solution given there was to change extensions.screenshots.disabled in about:config.

Unfortunately, my Mozilla Firefox (ver. 144.0 (64-bit)) doesn't have extensions.screenshots.disabled. So what now?

Greetings.

Several times today I have had messages not sent because of this error message: "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue". I am sending political messages and am concerned that Mozilla is blocking me. I have sent hundreds of similar messages over the years with no problem.

What's up now?

Thank you. Sincerely, Gail Forrest

Bookmarks open in the same tab, as they should. But history choices / sites from the browser history always open in a new tab far away from where I'm at the moment.

How can I set it to open in same tab, as the bookmarks? Open in a new tab next to the current tab would also work.

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

Every SINGLE time Firefox update now, we have to create a new profile, EVERY SINGLE TIME. We loose all our open tabs, passwords, history, bookmarks, everything.

Why is yours the only browser that does this, and how do we stop this from happening.

This is having an effect that is starting to drive me away from using all your products.

Hi, I like to use the Inspector window to modify layouts for printing &/or save as pdf only portions of a page or a whole page that's not laid out in a printer friendly way. Lately in the "Rules" pane of the Inspector window, I've noticed something I've never seen before. Normally it shows a list of rules for properties, attributes, etc...(CSS) which I can select or locate and change/modify with virtually no problems. Lately in that pane I've been seeing an item with an italicized title "element attributes style" and a lock icon on the upper left next to that text and it doesn't show show a link to the CSS page on the right side, nor does it allow me to select anything within. Does anybody know about this ?...is it some new setting or something that's changed in the newer versions of the browser. A couple of months ago I updated FF, which I hadn't done for awhile, and also just by chance, since that update I hadn't really used the Inspector for one reason or another, so I'm wondering if it's just a coincidence, since I had never seen it before. I'd appreciate any info or opinions about this. Thanks and wish everyone all the best.

some of my icons on the location bar do not appear, or only appear when I have the window maximized. How can I reorder thewse icons so the ones I want to see most often are on the left? this refers specifically to the add-on icons, but I would think all the icons are controlled the same way (that is, if one can control them).

i have a firefox account on my old windows 10 computer. Firefox is having trouble "finding that site" for some sites I've used for years. I've checked internet settings in Firefox, reset my WIFI router, etc. with no response for connectivity. But I really guess I don't know what or where to check... Thought it was a VPN setting, not fixed. What should I try to find and correct my problem?? Ray ([edited email from public forum])
