Firefox Support Forum

I accessed the RedHat 7 Administrator Guide (in PDF form) from a RedHat web page. Firefox shows it as 603 (or so) pages long. If I print it from my Windows 11 Acer laptop from Firefox, somewhere between 40 and 58 pages print. The times that Firefox pretends that the document is 58 pages long, there is an error pop-up (attached) - an error message that provides absolutely no useful information. Other times, there is no error message, but only the first pages of the document print. In "normal" (not debugging mode), the Windows 11 printer status page shows the page status as a fraction, with the denominator climbing as Firefox seems to be stepping through the pages of the document, and with the numerator seemingly climbing as pages are sent to the printer (on my LAN). The denominator stops at between 40 and 58 pages. If I run Firefox in debug mode, the status shows only one number. Judging by its speed, I assume that it's the number of pages sent to the printer. If I copy the same pdf document to, say, my CentOS Linux 5.8 box and print it with lpr, the entire document prints. If I open the document (on the WIndows 11 box) with Bing, it prints many pages. [I stopped the print job after 70 pages or so. I don't KNOW if it would print the whole document, but it gets farther than FIrefox does.] It doesn't matter if I print from the Firefox print dialog or the system/driver one. And, both are set to print ALL pages of the document.

I already have a profile with all the extensions, passwords, bookmarks, etc., that I want, with FDE. I want to start using Nightly, but dislike the continual moving of passwords & bookmarks, so I just want to use Firefox Sync for this.

(1) Is Sync a good option for me here? I would use FDE & Nightly on the same laptop.

(2) If my plan is ok, what is the best way to start with a new Nightly profile (which I would then Sync)? I tried deleting my old Nightly profile, uninstalling Nightly, and then downloading & uninstalling Nightly again, but every time I do this (including a reboot after uninstalling), I get a profile cannot be loaded error message every time I try to start Nightly. I don't want to use an old profile with Nightly, because I do not want to sync old data at all.

Suggestions?

Hello, I accidentally closed all my open Safari browser pages. I opened a new page and went to look in my history, everything was gone and I only have the history for today. There's no yesterday, 7 day ago, last month, etc. Any suggestions on what I may have done? Any suggestions on recovery? Would the tag button have any impact on this? I think I accidentally hit the tag button but I think that was after everything was gone. Thanks

Clean Windows 11 install, but I have the previous one backed up. Since sync doesn't restore the frequently visited sites on the home page, where can I find the data to copy over myself?

I'm running v95.02 (64bit) on a Dell G5-5500 with 16GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 2070 with 6GB RAM with Windows 11 (v10.0.22000)

On many occasions (several times a day) Firefox simply goes away without warning... sometimes after several minutes on a page. Sometimes in GMail, sometimes Facebook, sometimes other sites... there does not seem to be a particular pattern.

Is there a hidden log somewhere that I can send to you to help resolve this issue?

Thx!

Hello,

I have an HTML input control in a page that acts as if it is read-only until I activate a different window and then switch back to Firefox and my control - at that point it behaves as expected. In this initial state I can select with my mouse content. However, I cannot input or modify existing content. Right click > Select All has not effect. Copy does not work. I checked using document.elementsFromPoint() and is the top most element. I checked and in javascript it reports that it does not have readonly or disabled attribute. Trying to use the developer tools does not help because as soon as I activate that window, the control starts behaving as expected. This Windows 11, Firefox 96.0.3 (64-bit). Could you please tell me how can I investigate this any further?

Thank you, Bogdan

I bought a new computer, I have windows 11 on it. now, every time i open the browser I have to reenter my google and Firefox accounts. even though I check the V on 'remember me' . Cookies are deleted when Firefox is closing. but i have youtube on ignore . what can i to prevent it? thank you

YouTube (for example) video begins to stutter and ultimately stop playing when i switch the focus to another app (on my second monitor) however the audio continues perfectly. I tested this and it doesnt happen with Edge. I have seen other articles reporting simlar problems on different platforms that say to edit the network.http.throttle.enable and version. Mine are already set to the suggested settings but i am still having the problem. Any thoughts?

I have a bookmark for nascar. Now it defaults to 2020 how do I update it to show 2022? It shows a edit but nothing happens and the save bookmark does not show so I can't just redo it.

This has been asked before but not resolved. I've set the folder for downloads but FF ignores that setting. I just installed it on a new system--it's worked properly before in Win 11 but not on this Win 11 system.

I'm just downloading an html page or a txt page--not anything large. I did d/l several mb exe files and they did go to the proper folder but ctrl-s or right-click "save page as" choices don't go where Settings says they should.

How can I get FF to follow the proper setting?

No websites will load at all. The address looks fine but the loading ends up timing out just like when the address isn't correct or the site is having issues. I believe this started after the last update, I don't remember if it was a Firefox or windows update. I've tried the suggested troubleshooting tips, and uninstalled re-installed firefox twice. All I achieved was to lose my dark theme and previous open tabs.

An external partner is embedding one of our websites and has been experiencing the following strange behaviour since FF v97.0:

[See image attached] You can't click any buttons within the iframe when you place the mouse on the button itself. But if you move the mouse ~2cm below the button (red arrow) it acts like it's hovering over the button and you can click it.

There were no code changes on our side and for FF v96.0.3 everything still works as expected. I thought the issue would perhaps be solved in this bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1758664) but I tried with version 98.0.2 and it's not fixed there. I'm however hesitant to report a bug in Bugzilla since I can't provide clear reproduction steps (company data).

Thank you for your help!

With Devtools open and Responsive Design Mode active, selecting a device from the Device list and then right-clicking causes the context menu to appear in the lower right of the screen (figure-1 or first image if filenames aren't shown).

Depending on where I click, the menu shrinks (figure-2, second image).

Using the same device, if I type, "412" in the width box, it changes to Responsive Design Mode. After that, it works as it should (figure-3, last image). Notice that I clicked in the exact same spot as the first image.

I've tried safe mode; deleting all my profiles; none of those worked.

When downloading, FireFox forces me to save attached files (MS Office, Adobe, etc.) instead let me to select. It is useless that, in Tools - Settings, I selected "Always ask". I have Windows 11.

hello

i have a laptop by hardware cpu i5 reg 7 and ram 12 g this laptop when firefox open is my laptop frize this problem just firefox mozilla and do not by other browsers ...

thanks

why do i get this,(We're experiencing technical difficulties.) on all pch.com and spectrum.pch.com

Firefox on Windows 11 now runs at 100% and a stack of ram. Obviously this slows down my PC and this is only on the home page with nothing to look at. This makes it unuseable. Tried help pages - no use at all. Why am I asking an unknown instead of Mozilla? To big for their boots?
