Firefox Community Forum

I have just moved from an old laptop to a newer one - a Lenovo Thinkpad. I have installed Linux Mint and successfully transferred my files and Thunderbird. I also synchronized Firefox and all my add-ons, bookmarks and history came across perfectly. While setting up the toolbar from the customise screen I dragged the home page button onto the toolbar and it just disappeared. The home page is set up in settings. It appears the first time I open a window. I would like to be able to go back to my home page at will, how can I re-instate the home page button?

I was getting popping in audio both in Smplayer & videos on other sites. I discovered the problem went away completely when I closed the X tab. When it was open, I noticed another glitch. I keep a small video windows to keep track of my sleep time. The elapsed time is displayed on them. Only when X was open it was throwing it off by about 3 seconds a minute. I closed it in Firefox & signed onto X on Chrome & all these problems went away. This is the only web site that has ever done anything like this. What is Firefox's problem with X?

Mozilla VPN repeatedly gives "authentication error" when I try to log in, I have tried reset but no difference. I am working on Linux Mint with Firefox. Any tips?

There are certain websites that, on firefox only, display apostrophes and quotations as Russian letters. For example, on google docs, if I type "He's such a great friend" it will display уHeТs such a great friendФ. When I open the document on the app, it is normal, but I haven't been able to figure out why it does this on my computer. I use Mozilla Firefox for Fedora 149.0.2 for reference.

The new "Copy Link to Highlight" button shifted the "search with" option down, which I use regularly.

I'm not entirely sure what the new option does, but I would like to either disable it or shift it further down out of the way

Kubuntu 24.04 with various Firefox iterations including 149.0.2. It happens on stand alone, snap and flatpak versions. I do not know what triggers this problem. As far as can tell it only occurs on Wayland and not on 'X'. .... After using Firefox normally for a while I first notice the problem when I can't click into the separate search box on the toolbar, then I find I can't drag the tabs around as per usual. Then, if I click on a toolbar icon it does not respond. In summary, the toolbar becomes inoperative. I do have 9 pinned tabs but I can often have many more standard tabs up before I ever notice the problem and, today, when it occurred I only had 3 additional tabs up. So, I can't tie the problem to the number of tabs.

When watching videos on youtube, I hold down the space bar to make it go at 2x speed, this makes the video and the audio de sync the more I hold the space bar, It's been happening for quite some time and I can't seem to find an answer as of why this happens or how to fix it.

Its not a new issue that I am raising but facing this issue many times just could not get the time and was not sure why it was happening. So, I use Firefox's Container Extension and logged in to two different accounts from both the containers. So, if am closing the browser and have not closed the tab that has the logged in account attached it would be log me out the next time I open the browser. In fact, it logs sometimes log me out of the account that is open in the other container. Although there's catch in it, if I rather closing the tab I put all of them in a group and close the group and open a new and then close the browser then everything would be fine but if somehow I miss it, its certain that I am going to be logged out for sure. Sometimes, in some of the sites, last time as far as I can remember I have been logged out of all the accounts. I don't its something to do with firefox or extension but just wanted to raise the issue.

I have already turned off the 3 or 4 different types of firefox suggestions in the settings. Did they add yet another one? I can't find anything about it in the settings. How can I be sure I never get a pop-up suggesting any sort of wallpaper again?

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with hrms.devrising.in. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails. Advanced What makes the site look dangerous?

The site is set up to allow only secure connections, but there’s a problem with the site’s certificate. It’s possible that a bad actor is trying to impersonate the site. Sites use certificates issued by a certificate authority to prove they’re really who they say they are. Firefox doesn’t trust this site because its certificate isn’t valid for hrms.devrising.in. The certificate is only valid for: isp.afd2.jiohs.net, signup.jiohs.net, frontend.afd2.jiohs.net, www.frontend.afd2.jiohs.net, acc.afd2.jiohs.net, blk.jiohs.net.

I am using Firefox 150.0 in Linux Mint Cinnamon on a Byte. I always turn off my computer when not in use. Recently I noticed that my search history has become very truncated. Specifically, if I use an in-site search function, my searches no longer appear in my browser history; I only see the address for the site's main page. If I want to resume a search after turning off the Byte, I have to navigate to the site main page and re-enter the search parameters, then try to remember how far down in the search results I got the last time.

I realize that I can bookmark searches. But the stuff I am doing may require returning to a parameter-heavy search that I did a month ago and didn't think I would need again.

Is there some way to adjust this new, uninformative default History dialog box and see my entire browsing history again?

Hi, i'm running a ryzen 5 desktop on Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64 with no ssd so it's a little slow to load firefox 152.0.1 (64-bit) after boot. I find that occasionally the tab i am loading timesout, and if i refresh i lose the page. I have a keyboard macro to work around the issue. I lost the code for it, but iirc it works by entering this combo alt-d, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, enter that is to say if I copy the url to the buffer and re-enter it, the page will load, but will not load from the current page.

On Firefox(Archlinux) i can't change website fonts. "firefox-151.0.4.tar.xz" https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux... can't either. Even though FF-snap and FF-flatpak can. How can i fix ?

Hi, after updating to FF ver. 151 (Linux Mint 22.3) the container icon on my address-bar disappeared. I can still use containers by right clicking in the bookmarks drop down menu.

I have Firefox set to "ask me every time" what to do with doc and docx files. When I click on one, I get the popup shown in the image. As it shows, for some reason, okular (a pdf viewer) is shown as the pre-selected "open with" option. The dropdown menu also includes LibreOffice Writer, and says (correctly) that this is the default program.

I cannot find any setting on my system where Okular has been associated with doc files. So I think this is a Firefox problem.

How do I remove Okular from this dropdown, or at least make LibreOffice Writer the default pre-selected option?

i've seen this before, in different older machines, but i can't remember the remedy. possibly a mouse-screen problem. it started with 150 i think...

Also in youtube, a gray layer covers the selections rendering mouse clicks impossible. clcking the logo, page reloads, but soon the layer covers most of the page. resetting graphics had no result.

thanks

i'm using mf 150

Lastpass for Ubuntu will not install Successfully executing the "keyrings" CLI sequence did nothing to solve the issue. Lastpass works fine on another browser. What is wrong with Firefox?

I would like to use built-in VPN and forward my traffice to Charles log. I enabled both by setting the proxy to Charles log. I found that nothing shown up in the Charles when VPN is on.

How can I do it?
