I have read multiple posts & articles about cannot reach ups.com website. Nothing others did works for me. I have re-installed Firefox, cleared caches, started in safe-mode, on & on ... etc. etc. etc.

For the last week, FIREFOX has been slowly deteriorating & cannot reach various business websites:

ups.com Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

foodlion.com 504 Gateway Time-out Microsoft-Azure-Application-Gateway/v2

I have run software to find malware & viruses, with no solution.

I have NO TROUBLE using CHROME to access the same websites.

Who has the magic answer?

hey,

so long story short, I've been using a 2 months old firefox 32bit and everything was absolute great.

Until few days ago when the browser started to lag just from time to time.

Today I decided that it's time to let it get the update.

What happened now is there is no launch file for firefox, lol

I can't start the browser.

I went to last-update.log and:

2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: Performing a staged update 2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: PATCH DIRECTORY /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox/updates/0 2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: INSTALLATION DIRECTORY /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox 2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: WORKING DIRECTORY /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox/updated 2023-03-04 23:35:20-0300: ensure_copy: failed to write the file: /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox/updated/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf, err: 28 2023-03-04 23:35:20-0300: failed: 61 2023-03-04 23:35:20-0300: calling QuitProgressUI

So I installed Firefox a while ago and tried it out, was pretty nice but didn't have a couple features at the time so I uninstalled it. Recently I was thinking of going back to Firefox for a bit since some extensions I wanted was working on Firefox again so I reinstalled it. After opening Firefox the whole UI is a mess with words having too much spacing between each other everywhere including Google searches, Firefox settings etc. Mozilla's webpage itself and YouTube didn't seem to be broken but that's about the only one sI've seen that is not broken. Haven't really used the browser because of this issue so not sure what other sites don't have the issue. Not sure how to better describe this so I'm attaching a few images, thanks to anyone who's willing to help me with this.

For a few things I've tried, it was trying to start in safe mode, removing the ~/.mozilla folder and reinstalling firefox. Other than that not sure what to try so any help would be appreciated.

OS: Arch Linux Firefox version: 110.0.1

It's a laptop so it has Intel Integrated graphics along with a GTX 1660Ti Mobile as the dedicated GPU. Not sure what other details to provide so let me know what to give and I'll be happy to do so :)

I decided to change my OS, and before it, I clicked "Sync" in my Firefox account. When I installed another OS, I logged in my Firefox account. And... None of my data restored (bookmarks, passwords...). I did not make data export as a file because I trusted this deal to my Firefox account. How do I restore my data?

Hi, I'm running Firefox 110.0.1 on a linux machine and since installing cookie autodelete I have noticed that the web site yts.mx keeps reseting its cookie, a PHPSession cookie, even though I only visited the site once and that was a week ago. Also a few minutes after starting firefox yts.mx shows up on the about:network#http page of firefox and I'm guessing this is when the cookie gets set.

I can't find any information about about:network#http but there seem to be a lot of web sites listed that I don't visit. What does this page display?

I have tried removing all entries referencing yts.mx in my history. I have searched all non binary files in my profile directory for any reference to yts.mx. The only one thats comes up is in a file called AlternativeServices.txt and I have deleted the reference in that file numerous times and it keeps coming back.

I have also tried deleting the startup cache.

Any ideas apart from resetting firefox to stop this site from setting cookies when I haven't visited it?

Thanks.

I often use two firefox windows each with several tabs opened

Problem is when I quit in this state sometimes only one of those multiple windows gets opened on the next launch

To quit I do a `ctrl + q` or right click `Quit` from launcher bar

Is there a setting to tell firefox to always relaunch with the same set of windows ?

I use sync and this happens when using the same computer for the exit then relaunch of firefox

No audio / video in Firefox 110 Ubuntu - Chrome 110 works fine

These websites won't play audio or video in Firefox 110.0.1, they work in Chrome 110.0.5481.177

https://www.vrt.be/vrtnu/livestream/audio/stubru/ When I click the Play button I get an error "Oops, something went wrong, error code 200" which seems to be a general error code. In Chrome the music starts playing instantly.

https://f1tv.formula1.com/ I have a subscription but video won't play. I can press the Play button, sometimes I see a preloader but the screen stays black, no audio or video. In Chrome the content just starts playing, be it live or recorded content.

Steps I took to get audio/video working inb Firefox, but to no avail:

run above websites in private tabs download Firefox again and run it from its folder in Downloads start Firefox in Troubelshoot mode start Firefox in Troubleshoot mode and Refresh Firefox disabled / enabled Plugin Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc disabled / enabled Play DRM-controlled content in Settings disabled / enabled Enhanced Tracking protection disablde / enabled allow media autoplay

In other discussions it was opted to remove the PulseAudio config by running the below command and rebooting rm ~/.config/pulse/*

Any help to get this working again would be greatly appreciated!

I am using a Linux based system for my Laptop but still need to access and edit some files from a OneDrive Cloud. Whenever I try to clean up my files I open them to see if they can be deleted which will open a session in a separate tab. The problem is when I close that tab Firefox seems to keep that session active which will render me unable to delete a file because OneDrive sees, that it is still opened. (See attached Screenshot) Is this a problem with Firefox not closing sessions properly when closing tabs?

Youtube has an option to share on whatsapp, and once that is clicked one has the option "continue to chat" and then the option to select whatsapp web. But then a new tab is opened even if web.whatsapp is available in a Firefox tab.

How can we make the initial whatsapp tab to be used instead?

Typically I press super + some key combination to open various applications. Today, I forgot to press super and the first couple letters in "screenshot" are apparently more or less what you need to delete your firefox history.

Is this in any way recoverable? I've also used this firefox account on a windows partition, not sure if history is shared between linux and windows in this way though.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox 108.0 on popos 20.04

Hello. I just set up a self hosted firefox-syncserver on my homeserver.

I created a virtual host on nginx which looks something like this: firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com and have a mariadb database as the backend. In about:config on firefox, I then set the identity.sync.tokenserver.uri to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5.

Everything seems to work fine, but I still have some questions which I did not find an answer to online.

   Since I have this public accesspoint for my syncserver now, can not anyone just use it? What stops them from using my url (https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5) in their about:config?
   What is the SYNC_MASTER_SECRET for which I set to a 256-bit random key?
   When I navigate to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5 in my browser, why does it say {"status":"error","errors":[{"location":"body","name":"","description":"Unauthorized"}]}

I would really appreciate a good answer, as I could not find anything good about these points online.

Firefox 110.0 64 bit on Linux Fedora 37. Happens with my default setup and also when running with extensions disabled. Default font. English Language.

If I got to this website https://www.endesaclientes.pt/uPortal2/MyEndesa/index.html#/login, right now, it is in maintenance mode. It's tab label shows up as "Em manutenção..." when it should display "Em manutenção". In case this text field munges my text, see image of the tab, and the letters between "uten" and the final "o" are supposed to be a c with a cedilla and an a with a tilde.

Do I need to change my configuration to add the proper font in tabs?
