i tried changing any and all settings, clearing cache, using troubleshooting mode etc to no avail.

i use fedora 38 beta (it was also a problem on 37 stable) with ffmpeg installed.

i use biwarden, sponsorblock, ublock origin, stylus, google container, youtube shorts block and some custom css.

i am running a system with an i3 10105f, an rx 6600 and 16gb of ram.

firefox is installed with the version off of the firefox website.

reinstalling it worked briefly, but it broke again after a little bit of time.

i am sorry if i did not provide adequate information.

How can I stop firefox saving the same file twice at all while downloading? I don't know any scenario, where saving a renamed copy makes any sense. But I know scenarios, where this is deeply confusing.

I found this answer: https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1365576#answer-1477483 , but it doesn't help much.

It only works if the downloaded file is not one of the type configured in "Applications" part. Action other than "save file" or "Allways ask" does ignore "Always ask you where to save files" setting.

So, is there any switch "never save renamed copies of the same file"?

I'm referring to the reply from Paul here that tried to sell us the useless floating tabs "feature". Now, several years later, there's no sign of any of this, and we still have to deal with the downsides of floating tabs.

Dear Support, I posted my js-library on the hosting https://rombase.ru/o5/olga5/o5.js and copied it to https://leonrom.github.io/o5/olga5/o5.js

I try to connect to it from Blogger, for example: https://olga-5.blogspot.com/2020/02/olga5-shp.html?o5debug=2 and I change the link to the library's hosting in the <head> of my blog.

The Chrome browser works the same way wherever o5.js is located. But Mozilla, when placed on rombase.ru, swears in the console: `The resource at “https://rombase.ru/o5/olga5/o5.js” was blocked by Safe Browsing`

My Firefox is 109.0.1 (64 bit) under MX Linux

Could you please tell me: what is the "safety"-difference between rombase.ru and leonrom.github.io? What shall I change in rombase.ru to work properly?

Thank you PS Connecting via VPN (from Ukraine) does not help

I'm wondering if disabling the automatic updates for Extensions/Add-ons we get any notification when an update is available, without going in the Settings where the Add-ons are listed.

Will I get any notification or indication while browsing that an Extension/Add-on has a new update, if I disable the automatic updates?

Firefox 112 Mint Linux

The web site for my VOIP company lets me set phone numbers as "contacts" via a web form.

I started getting an error message along the lines of "Error Adding Contacts".

I restarted Firefox in --safe-mode, the site worked.

I restarted Firefox in normal mode. I then turned off each extension, one by one, refreshing the form. I ended up turning them all off and the contact form stayed broken.

What else does --safe-mode turn off besides the extensions?

Thanks.

Why does Mozilla need to acess all files? Can we disable this 'feature'?

This happens only when middle-clicking links, but not right-clicking and opening them in a new tab. It also doesn't happen when I middle-click a tab to close it.

I'm using Firefox 112 on a KDE plasma archlinux session using wayland, the system is all up to date.

I've recorded a profile of the ~10 seconds while the UI is frozen: https://share.firefox.dev/41wL4Na

While inspecting it it looks like it wait for exactly 9 seconds in a call to retrieve clipboard contents, but that's just what it looks like and I could be wrong, hope it helps!

My platform is Debian 11.6: My FireFox install is 102.10.0esr (64-bit)

I was assisting my wife in making an appointment at the US Embassy in Manila via the US Embassy website. It all worked correctly *until* I chose the appointment day and time and clicked to continue. Rather than confirm the appointment, it told me I needed an up-to-date browser that supported 128 bit encryption. Now I know FireFox does support that. The screen looked like it thought I was using Netscape!

I switched to Chrome (much to my annoyance) and the website worked. This is not the first time I have found that I have to abandon FireFox to do something when using it on Linux. I haven't been on Windows for a while, but I don't remember this problem on that platform. This is a real problem. Please fix it. There is no reason why a website should think FireFox is Netscape.

I attempted to load a video from Anaconda and got the following error: "Sorry, the video player failed to load.(Error Code: 104153)" My search of the web was not fruitful. There was a rather broad suggestion to try another browser. For the first time in MANY years i downloaded Microsoft Edge. I could then open the video from Anaconda. A couple of years ago I went from Windows to Linux because I did not like the access that Microsoft had inside my computer. I would REALLY like to uninstall Edge and go back to Firefox. I feel much more secure that way. Thanks Mike Whitney
