Firefox Community Forum

This is a message I sent to the Zoom.us help staff a few days ago:

"Very often when I go to my Zoom tab on the Firefox browser and wish to schedule another meeting, even if I have recently (within and hour or so) I will be sent to the Sign In page. Then 4 out of 5 times, when I sign back in the little waiting wheel will spin and spin and I can't reenter to set up the meeting. But several times I have gone to the "sign in with google" icon below. This brings me almost immediately to my account and I am able to proceed. Why is this becoming a problem for me?? It seems that a sign-in with my password should be the most stable mode!"

They advised clearing my cookies in the Zoom cache, but this didn't help! I opened my Chrome browser and had no troubles signing in, but I am not a Chrome fan and I <never> use Edge!

I love Firefox and Mozilla. I started using Mosaic on my Apple IIGS back in the early 90s and then went to Netscape. I have never liked MicroSoft's way of copying Apple and the other innovators and then pretending that they invented it all themselves!!

I just wanted you to know of this issue. I wanted to forward my emails with Zoom, but could not find a viable email address to your support staff. Keep up the good work!!

I work from an Acer laptop running Windows 10 Home.

I tried to log on this morning to my mail and get this link" https://guce.yahoo.com/consent?brandType" with a pop up page "oops something went wrong"

all searches I have done to try and resolve seem to be 2019 or older with the 2024 being locked.

I type in yahoo.com, do a search yahoo, they all come up the same message. anything yahoo related I cannot load. and get this same message.

I run malware byte and Ccleaner neither solved this issue

I use Microsoft edge and have no issues.

thank you

these are the entries in the Firefox browser history:

in FF 137.02 Win11Pro there is no reopen previous session option in the history menu, even though in settings, history, "firefox will" is set to remember history. We tried reinstalling FF. No luck.

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?

Been using Netscape then Mozilla load since 1996. Jan 13 2025 I turned on computer (for 3rd time) and (all browsers) Mozilla is blocked by windows defender firewall. Jan 14th I turned on PC and same.

Setting\windows defender firewall setting is now in perpetual circle of processing request.

• Windows Smart App Contol is turned off.
• advance virus scan will not launch due to alpha characters will not populate, only numeric, even when switching keyboard languages.
• quick and full scan work with no errors, prior successful was Jan 10th , 10 min before turning off computer (quick)
• no error or alarms other than "firewall is blocking Mozilla & Mozilla VPN". MS Edge Browser just sits with no pages loaded, no error messages.
• NIC and internet is working fine as ping and othe CMD to international work. Email clients work.
• Client ( L&T TS) Microsoft Intune installed for work Account

Windows 11 pro, all updates to windows and Mozilla, virus and dell processed through January 10 (from history)

It seems certain sites are prone to fire popup tabs, with any click, right clicks included. I close them immediately and the second click acts normal, getting the nav result I was asking for. How to strength the popup blocking function to stop this distracting behavior? Thanks for any pointers. This may prevent me from staying on FF.

Hi,

My application has recently been incorrectly flagged as dangerous by Firefox when downloading from https://librelancer.net/downloads.html, particularly when downloading https://librelancer.net/builds/librelancer-sdk-daily-win64.zip

Checking the URL at google safebrowsing https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing seems to show a clean report.

Is there a way of submitting the file as a false positive, as it is affecting my users.

Yesterday I updated Firefox to version 115.22.0esr this morning when it was released. Have never had any problems viewing video on Netflix but now I am getting Netflix error message F7702-1003. Yesterday I asked "what can I do? I've rebooted computer as Netflix says and it didn't help."

Today, to see if the issue was a bug with version 115.22.0 esr I logged onto both Peacock and Hoopla to try to stream video. On both sites the same thing happened that happened on Netflix. I log into the site, select a video, and when I try to play it I get a message that "widevineCdm plugin has crashed" and video won't play.

Since this problem just appeared after I updated to version 115.22.0 esr it seems likely that there is a bug in this version which is crashing the plugin and preventing streaming video. I note that I can stream some video having checked both YouTube and an online television station.

Is there somebody to answer my questions please? For a first site, it is impossible to have the PDF document when clicking the button. For a second, when I click to the "buy tickets" button, it doesn't work. What's wrong with the Firefox navigator????????????? Thank you.

Suddenly cannot access my bellsouth.net email account. However, I have no problems when using the Brave site. Any non-snarky suggestions to regain access using Firefox?

I'm using Windows Live Mail 2012 (which yes is pretty old) and one of the problems manifests itself in Firefox so let me describe this, I'm asking here because I don't think Microsoft ever supports anything any more so yes I'm grasping at straws but here goes. If I click on an email preview in my email client it proceeds to try and open that content in an almost infinite set of windows. If instead I click on a web link in that content it proceeds to attempt to open an almost infinite number of tabs of copies of this content in Firefox, I'm not saying this is the fault of the browser but it's a weird problem. Finally if I try and open the website that I need to use to manage the memory usage of this limited memory cable provider email account, the website no longer processes that correctly either so after a short time I will run out of memory entirely and lose usage of the account so you can see why solving this is an urgent matter for me. (I already contacted the cable provider tech support and their considered opinion was I ought to pound sand since they no longer provide email accounts any more for anyone. I have a peculiar feeling that one possible answer involves doing complex editing in the Registry, I think I'd rather back out the update (although MSC wil probably just overwrite it again in 6 months anyway) but I guess either would be acceptable, I'm just wondering how come I'm the only person in the known universe who has seen this weird issue?

I've downloaded the Max Tabs Extension, but; can not get it to function. I appears under the extensions list and is grayed out.

I would like to limit the number of processes running during a Firefox session. Task Manager shows 7 Processes running when only one tab is open.

Am I missing something here. It seems to be loading down my PC.

Tried to click on Firefox today and browser wouldn't open. So i uninstalled and reinstalled and got the same result. I'm guessing the browser is no longer available for Windows 11 and they're going out of business.

I had the same problem as, for example, this:

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1375244

firefox (on linux) was unable to open a file browser to the local filesystem on clicking a website-provided button for file uploads, e.g. here https://video-converter.com/

I have seriously messed up with firefox settings over the years in order to safeguard my privacy, against all the attempts by firefox to infringe it. (Admitteddly, not as much as google chrome, safari and, got forbid, m$ edge). One of these fixes was to link the file/database content-prefs.sqlite (found in my firefox profile dir) to /dev/null. It was this that caused a problem with the file browser not showing. WOW!

Once I deleted said file (linking to /dev/null). Firefox started and all was OK wrt the file brower.

That caused me to create a script to be run before and after firefox launch, searching for all these privacy-infringing databases in my profile dir and erasing them.

The steps to this are: 1) edit /usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop and replace all Exec=firefox entries with Exec=/usr/local/bin/firefox-custom.sh 2) create a new file /usr/local/bin/firefox-custom.sh with this content

1. !/bin/bash

CMD="firefox" if [ -x ~/bin/firefox-custom.sh ]; then CMD=~/bin/firefox-custom.sh fi echo "$0 : executing firefox with this command :" echo " ${CMD} $*" ${CMD} $*

3) create a ~/bin/firefox-custom.sh file with this content

1. !/bin/bash

function eras { local f="$1" echo "erasing file '$f' ..." rm -f "${f}" }

echo "$0 : on starting, erasing various sensitive firefox databases ..."

while IFS= read -r afil && -n "$afil" ; do eras "${afil}" done <<< "$(find ~/.mozilla/firefox -type f -name 'content-prefs.sqlite')"

echo "$0 : now executing firefox ..." firefox $*

echo "$0 : on exiting, erasing various sensitive firefox databases ..." while IFS= read -r afil && -n "$afil" ; do eras "${afil}" done <<< "$(find ~/.mozilla/firefox -type f -name 'content-prefs.sqlite')"

lanuching firefox now either from a desktop file (e.g. via Plank launcher) or from the command line: gio launch /usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop runs the above script before and after firefox running.

Disclaimer: the above script erases files in your profile directory, use at your own risk. Perpahs make a backup copy of your profile dir before.

Years ago i had an issue with this useless browser. I had the setting to start where i was left of, so the taps should reopen as they were but every time it was starting from the beginning also with different windows than what i choose from settings. i have deleted the browser and now i have downloaded it again but i face the same issue. You cannot talk with a real agent so this is the worst browser ever. I am only try to use it because i have to, otherwise i would NEVER EVER use it again after all this issues. As i cannot get help from Firefox as they don't even have support team... Can anyone please help me with that. Thank you

I have had three bad experiences with Firefox. They center around security pages on banking pages and other websites that require login. 1) Pinterest asks "can we confirm your email address" I say yes, and it never sends me a message to my email. Maybe there is another are of the UI that that page is not displaying for me. 2) A+ Federal credit union in Texas has a drop down to select the year's bank statements you want to see, I select the year and the list of statements does not appear below. When I go to Edge I can see the list. 3) I can't remember the other one just now.

QUESTION: how do I communicate to your team about the problem on the bank's webpage if you can't access it to see what the HTML is doing? Rick.
