I wanted to set keywords for search engines (in order to quickly change them for a single query). This cannot be done for search engines by default (why?), so I had to delete them and create a new one with the same link and my own keywords. But now I can't give them the same name back, firefox says that such a search engine already exists. In general, it doesn't matter to me which letter is there. The main purpose of my appeal is to draw attention to the fact that search engines cannot be edited by default, because it is quite inconvenient. Thanks for the answer (I apologize in advance if I made a grammatical mistake somewhere, I used a translator) My OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; firefox version: 145.0.2 (64-bit)

I am using Pop OS. Videos are not playing in firefox. In youtube it shows loading infinitly. In reddit all videos become green. I tried playing a downloaded video it also become green. These are only happening in integrated mode. If I use hybrid graphics mode all works good. I attached the about:support page and about:config page.

about:config page link about:support page

These files are taken in integrated graphics mode.

I'm building a website from scratch and its going great. I just tried to implement a CSP and it worked except for one small section of my website that allows a user to upload an image and that image is supposed to be displayed back to the user. Anyways long story short the CSP blocked me so I tried to whitelist data: and it still didn't work. defeated I removed the CSP from Nginx to work on it later but when I went to try and test again I get this error. ``` Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource (img-src) at data:image/webp;base64,UklGRqbeAABXRUJQV… because it violates the following directive: “default-src 'self'” ``` I have confirmed with Curl and by inspecting the network tab that there is no CSP included in the headers anymore. I have restarted Firefox, created a new Firefox profile, and cleared my cache to the end of time and yet still the error persists. I don't know where or how Firefox is storing website headers but they persists and also apparently work between profiles an implication I'm not going to delve into here. If someone could point me to the file where the headers are stored so I can delete it that would be wonderful.

The AI tab thing is a problem for me for multiple reasons. I found various articles about how to turn it off. They pointed to the following setting: In about:config set the setting "browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled" to false, and then restart Firefox.

However, when I do that, and then immediately go back to about:Config to check the setting, it has changed itself back to "true".

Other settings accept and keep permanent changes. This means that I'm not forgetting to save the change or anything. Just this one setting (which turns off something causing me problems) refuses to actually stay set.

I see the answer to this question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1509077 and tried looking there. There is a completed study called "Smart Tab Groups Rollout", but since it is in the "Completed Studies" group, I cannot remove it.

FF bug (?) (my own tests), Chrome works as expected, was also gemini ai discussed.:

 Why for the following css rule (new FF):
 header:has(~ noscript) ~ * div[class*="-slider"] {width: calc(var(--number-of-slides) * 100%);}
 the --number-of-slides is defined and visible:
 header:has(~ noscript) ~ * div[class*="-slider"] {--number-of-slides: 1}
 but this one isn't at all:
 header:has(~ noscript:has([value="1"])) ~ * div[class*="-slider"] {--number-of-slides: 1}
 And all remembering that in the noscript there is direct descendant having value="1"

As mentioned it works as expected (so average person naturally may think it sould) well for Chrome - noscript is visible, js disabled, controls are visible. Sophisticated use case of :has() but it sort of "has right" to happen.

Hello. I am using Linux Mint 21.3 cinnamon and Firefox 144.0.2 When I use Google maps and the yellow small pointer (cartoon) to go on a specific street, the window come black when shifting to street view. My only extension is disabled, hardware acceleration unchecked, cache cleared and cookies cleared. I have made fresh install and nothing help. Troubleshooting mode allow street view to work fine but normal mode don't work. Google chrome work good. Chromium work good. And finally, Firefox work ok on my Linux mint LMDE 6.

Any idea where to go to solve this issue?

Thanks for your support

A month ago I downloaded Linux Ubuntu 24.04.3 onto my Microsoft Surface Pro. Was never able to get the touch screen to work, but, the printer worked fine. After the recent Firefox update, however, I am unable to print. The preview page does not load. Not tech savvy, here, definitely not an administrator. How do I fix this? Thanks for any help.

An e-banking site that worked in Firefox for years no longer works in 145.0 under Ubuntu Studio 24.04.1 This is the help page for the error I am receiving: https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/145.0/WINNT/en-US/connection-not-secure However, the error message I received (see attached image) is not listed there. Since the e-banking site hasn't changed in ages, I suspect instead something in one of the recent Firefox updates. The site works fine in Safari under Sequoia 15.5 on a MacBook Air, and I can login in Firefox, so I doubt that there is a problem with the site's security certificate. Since both the MacBook Air and the Ubuntu PC are on the same LAN, I also doubt any network obstruction. I haven't found a wax to get any more detailed error information and would be grateful for tips on how to do so. Meanwhile, I would like to at least change from the standart Firefox release to the ESR veersion, but find no information on how to do so. I have currently set up Firefox to be pulled from the instructions in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended under "For Debian Trixie and Newer" How can I switch from my current Firefox under Ubuntu to an ESR release?

I am running Firefox 144.0 on kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS I have lost sound on Firefox. I have opened the same sites in Chrome and the sound is working fine. It's only in Firefox. I have tried several sites including Udemy, YouTube, and radio programs, no sound from Firefox. The problem started in the middle of a Jit.Si session. All of a sudden the sound disappeared. I thought that restart Firefox would help, then restart the computer would help. But the problem has continued. The speakers is turned on the volume is up, just not a sound from Firefox. What to do?
