Firefox Support Forum

I am conducting research and Firefox keeps on deleting my browsing history. I have already extended the history limit in the settings and that has not helped. I believe I may have missed a setting. I would like for Firefox to remember my history as long as possible to better aid me in my research.

I have used Pocket, and found it useful, but am infuriated by one issue. If I don't click on a particular selection, I cannot get back to it on Pocket. Why is this? Why can't I get back to the display of Pocket articles when I choose not to follow a particular avenue? This really gets my goat.

Hi

We recently implemented CatoCloud to update our company's security measures. However, we've encountered an issue where Firefox updates are not possible on PCs configured with CatoCloud. The suspected cause is the TLS Inspection feature. Currently, we've allowed an exception for the entire mozilla.org domain in the TLS Inspection settings to enable Firefox updates.

However, we are concerned that exempting the entire mozilla.org domain might be too broad. We would like to know the specific domains or IP addresses that require exception settings to ensure appropriate configuration. Could you provide guidance on the necessary exception settings for domains or IP addresses related to Firefox updates?

regards,

I have web page that I am printing using different browsers. I have html elements that I have positioned relative and top for each printing page. so that they appear on specific location of print pages.

The positioned elements are just fine in chrome and safari. However in firefox the positioned element is displaying on first page and on second page it is getting hidden (need to add z-index value to show). From third page it is dragging whole content down upto the top position given to element.

Do we have any alternative workaround to position relative elements and top, This is the only issue with firefox.

Thanks.

Hello

I was taking a Government mandated test conducted by NTN, this exams are proctored and I have to run lock down software in order to take them, have webcam on etc. Part of the process is making sure that no other software is open and running in my task bar, which the proctor verifies. While I was about an hour into the test everything was shut down and I was notified by browser that the proctor shut my exam down and I needed to contact support.

So I opened a ticket and they told me that their software detected Firefox launching in the background. Because of that the proctor took action and disqualified me for cheating/opening software during an exam.

The huge frigging issue is, I DID NO SUCH GODDAMN THING. Firefox was 100% off and I never even went near the goddamn thing, they watch everything you do on screen as well and my mouse never even moves towards the taskbar at all. I was in the middle of watching a video clip in the exam to answer questions about it.

Long story short, I'm in a lot of trouble. I'm not going to jail or anything like that, but I am being accused of cheating and have had the job offer rescinded. I really needed this job and wouldn't jeopardize it in a million years. Like come on ffs it was a video about what you would do in a situation, what the hell am I going to Google??

Can anyone offer any insight, or some way to prove to them that I didn't do anything. Is there some Windows log or Firefox log or something that would show that I never launched it? NTN Tech support feels that it was some sort of background process or update, but the rules are the rules.

ANY HELP AT ALL would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! I've tried calling Mozilla and no dice. Not sure how to get a hold of anyone there.

Firefox uses below 2ghz CPU speed when my laptop runs from battery when I'm watching YouTube videos and browsing. But YouTube when power adapter is ON, Firefox uses above 2Ghz speed when watching YouTube videos and browsing some web sites.

Firefox crashed and when it did all my history was gone. All of it. For months if not years. I need to get the history from about the last month back. I am not asking for community people to answer as I already checked that and there is no accountability, clarity, ability to confirm etc. etc. etc. I am asking the engineers at Mozilla to please give me the method that will surely work and is user friendly. I am willing to pay a small fee if necessary.

Basically, I have three different profiles in my Firefox with three different app icons, but only one of has notifications.

For some odd reason, the MacOS notification center is showing the wrong profile. It's like only one of the profiles is visible, or working. I tried resetting it, which is apples way of "deleting" it, but Firefox keeps forcing that particular profile and not my main one.

Firefox 122.0.1 (64-bit) MacOS Ventura 13.5.1 (22G90)

I kinda-frequently find myself in the situation that Firefox already downloaded an update, but some time passes before I bit the bullet of actually restarting it. So a new update has appeared - but I can't download it until I restart. So I will have to restart, reload session, download new update, restart again, reload session again.

So it would be great to be able to tell Firefox to forget about the already-downloaded update and just download the latest one. Can this be done?

(The reason why I delay restarting is because I have an unhealthy amount of tabs open, typically with many things in flight; so restarting makes me lose those things, plus there's always the possibility of some trouble while restoring all the tabs)

FWIW I'm in the Beta channel.

Sorry to trouble you, i recently un-pinned mozila from the task bar by mistake, as its my main browser i re-pinned it from the icon on my desk top, now i have lost all my logins and passwords and some recently saved bookmarks. Would there be a way of recovering them, again sorry to trouble you. Nigel
