Firefox Support Forum

In the last 2 days many problems with Firefox as you can see some below. There are more problems but in clicking one of your links below, I could not return to what I wrote. In addition I cannot check the box below "email me when someone answers the thread". Thanks B

Under import/backup --> restore I can't remove the files. It used to let you do it now its not allowed. I want them gone and to synch with I currently have. It would also be nice to add a feature to edit backup folders and stored files.

My Firefox has just been updated to 91.3.Oesr. Previously the lock symbol in the URL could be dragged to the desktop to save the URL as a bookmark. This update doesn't allow me to do that. Please advise.

Hi All,

Yesterday I received update 91.0 of Firefox...normally all goes good.

However, now when I open my setting, the background is black.

When I go to eg Tools > Download...also black.

I have checked all setting, and nothing points to a black theme.

Also my windows setting are correct and not pointing to a black theme.

I am kinda getting annoyed why nowadays all needs to be black themed, I and would like to see it the way it was, bright and not this depressing black.

Please can someone provide advice/instructions how to resolve this?

Many thanks in advance.

Mac updated to version 10.15.7 and now websites appear basic with no colour and elements have black outlines. I have attached screenshot with Chrome on right hand side and appearing normal and on the left is Firefox which is super basic. Does anybody recognise this problem as i am struggling to find any solutions.

When browsing sites the browser seems to be white on white. It happened after an auto update. I can't see some boxes or when I check some boxes. Any help would be great.

Hello Support, I am working on the development of a Windows Application (C++, GUI, MFC, Visual Studio 2019 Community). Just a hobby, nothing serious. At a certain point I would like my App to get the URL of an already running Firefox window. I already can get the Window Title of the Firefox Window, but not the URL of the page currently being displayed in that window. I believe the way to do this would be to somehow connect to the process of the Firefox Window, and ask Firefox to provide the current URL. A thorough webserch led me to some old solutions using DDE, but these seem to be no longer supported and discouraged. Could you please point me towards any developer documentation or Firefox Developer Forum where I could learn how to do this with the recent releases of Firefox!

Hello Please HELP, I HATE updating but was forced to by another issue. Now I can't search in the Google window ...it moves to the address bar, where it resists amendments. How can I restore the old way please? Thanks

Hi from Manfred since the new update the following problem happens... I like to open the following website link https://mitglied.akademie-zukunft-mensch.com/mitglied/ it opens instead https://shop.akademie-zukunft-mensch.com/mitglied/ with the comment "That page can’t be found." But the link https://mitglied.akademie-zukunft-mensch.com/mitglied/ opens correctly with my android phone and with my old windows pc running an older version of firefox please can you help me Thank you very much for your help

Forever you've been apply to type anything into the Google search bar on the home screen, but not anymore.

Now whateveryou type automatically appear up in the tab line with https// infront of it , then of course it comes back with ...cannot find that web address !!

I'm not looking for a web address, i'm searching a subject matter..

This change is SO annoying I'm now seriously thinking of dumping my much loved Firefox for something which works better.

Why isn't there the 'option' to do search without it 'assuming' you're looking for a web address ?

So Annoying and frustrating, whoever dreamt this idea up....?

I would like to know if the preferences (found in about:config or prefs.js) are explained in detail somewhere For example, what is browser.safebrowsing.provider.google.advisoryURL? What values can it have? Why can't preference entries be deleted (not just given a value of "") by the user? Thank you.

Just downloaded 91.0 and the next time I started up Firefox all of the websites that I frequent...just about all of their design (fonts, colors, etc.) are GONE! What the heck? It's like all of their formatting is no longer recognized. I don't have time to figure out how to get it all back. Clickable links use to turn color; can't put check marks in boxes when doing surveys (I was doing a survey when I chose to just download the update, and I was able to check boxes at that time; now I can't even check the box below to indicate I want to be emailed when someone answers this question! ... @verizon.net, by the way, if you want to email me to know you've answered this question.) I have never experienced this in the past. Is there an easy answer to this? Anyone else experience this? I am on iMac Mojave 10.14.6.

edited email from public and search/spam bots view as this is a public community forum.

Hi friends,

I don't know if there was an update or what but, suddenly, the Firefox browser is acting strangely. I notice it's showing the lines of each container on a page. (See screenshot.) When I open Twitter on Safari, those container lines are gone. But it's also affecting text color, turning it blue. (See screenshot.) When I open boingboing.net in Safari, the text is in black, as it should be.

It also seems to have slowed, though nothing has changed with my ISP or settings.

What happened? How to resolve?

I have the most recent version of Firefox - 91.0 - on a MacBook running BigSur, version 11.5.2.

Thanks in advance for your help.

My screen is not displaying porpely, the one on the left is firefox and safari is on the right. Also when I have a menu pop up it is completely see through. Already tried resetting firefox but no luck. Pretty sure it's something simple but can't figure it out...

I have most recent release of Firefox and also just updated MacOS to 11.5.2. After updates the histograms on the Wordpress blog stats page do not display. They display fine on Opera. I did clear cache — that didn't help. I quit Firefox and restarted — that didn't help. Firefox version for Mac version 91.0.1 (64-bit).

I assume this must be a Firefox bug, but am open to suggestions on how to fix the problem.

Also, when I click the checkbox for "Email me when someone answers the thread" it will not accept the check. Irritating.
