Firefox Support Forum

I normally have multiple FF windows open on multiple desktops. After a restart all of a sudden every time I create a new desktop, FF duplicates browser. If I open a new FF Window it will automatically appear across all open desktops.

Tried pretty much everything: Multiple restarts Cleared Cache Refresh Firefox General Settings changes

FF 119.01 Monterey 12.6.6

Any thoughts appreciated

Hello, I cannot get videos to go into full screen in FF as they used to before latest update. Tested on various sites. There are no controls shown on YouTube unless i either hide the taskbar or scroll down both of which is a nuisance. On some sites the task bar stays at the bottom which it didn't used to do. link text

I have been receiving the following error code 'PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR' on several website on my Firefox browser. Sometime, not all the time, I get the same error message while trying to use YouTube, while other times the site loads but says that I am offline and no internet connection. I have done all of the fixes that they say to use online and nothing seems to work. YouTube will occasionally work but none of the thumbnails will show up. Then there are other site that work fine.

I frequently need to access a Hi-Fi device on my local ethernet network from https://www.skytune.net For example ... http://192.168.1.68/ or http://192.168.1.62/ (The last 2 digits of the IP change from time to time)

Recently, I keep getting unnecessary security alerts - Any idea why? I have use https only disabled.

I could be with skytune's certificate. I have done everything I can to bypass these errors.

The Disable Protection For Now option seems to be unavailable if the latest Firefox.

when I'm on sites playing games, i.e. face book, I keep getting this across the bottom of my screen:

https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/

How can I disable it? I can't take a screen shot because if I place my mouse on it, it skips to another place on my screen.

Is there a Firefox setting that automatically clears cookies? When I turned my computer on, it had been cleared of cookies since the last time I had it on a few hours ago, but I didn't do it. No one else here to use the computer but me. I don't want cookies cleared automatically. How do I change it back to manual? I use Firefox Browser 120.0

thank you

Firefox updated today (11/30/23) to version 120. All of the shortcut icons on my start tab disappeared. I've tried to re-enter but they are not accepted. Please help!! I depended on these shortcuts for my work.

I've reinstalled my Windows and once I logged into Firefox and synced my data, I got the wrong bookmarks from years ago, most stuff are of my brother. I tried restoring them, but I only got the date of today which is completly empty. My history looks right, so I guess this is the right account. They're really important, what do I do?

What would it take for Mozilla to offer a version of Firefox without permanently built-in plugins and/or extensions, and just offer them by selection upon installation, or offer a a registry editor program to add and/or remove them, or simply a paid-for version without them? A paid for browser that could be configured the way a person wants it would be worth the cost of such a browser.

examples of plugins and/or extensions desired to be permanently removed:

Amazon.com Bing DuckDuckGo eBay Firefox Screenshots Form Autofill Google Wikipedia

Refreshing does not work. Disabling does not work as they are enabled after another update, upgrade or by accessing your Firefox account.

Many years ago, M$ was sued for making Internet Explorer an integral part of the operating system yet is being allowed to do the same with Edge today. Just as back then, the browser cannot be permanently uninstalled from Windows, unlike with a Linux OS. Example: Mint will work perfect without the automatically installed Firefox browser should a user want to have a different browser. However, since undesired plugins and/or extensions can be permanently removed, there is no need to uninstall and remove Firefox.

Unfortunately, although I love the Vivaldi browser (which is built from Google's chromium architecture, just like chrome and many others) for any M$ or Linux OS, there are two features Firefox offers still unavailable with Vivaldi at this time. Therefore, Firefox remains my backup browser and for when I would like to use those two features unavailable with Vivaldi. However, Firefox would become the default browser not just for me, but an unknown huge number of users if permanently built-in plugins and/or extensions could be permanently disabled and/or removed because users want less intrusion and thus more security.

Firefox is a great browser. However, not being able to permanently remove permanently built-in plugins and/or extensions is more than a nuisance. Reason: If the built-in plugins and/or extensions can be re-enabled after an update, upgrade, or accessing your Firefox account, then there must be some type of script, sub-routine, program or AI detecting the permanently built-in plugins and/or extensions that have been disabled. That by definition is spying.

What is needed is a method to permanently remove permanent built-in plugins and/or extensions, or at least prevent the disabled built-in plugins and/or extensions from being enabled again.

Perhaps Amazon.com, Bing, DuckDuckGo, eBay and Google and Wikipedia are paying $$$ to be embedded within Firefox which may be needed by Mozilla for the ongoing development of updates and upgrades. If so, a paid-for browser might eliminate the need for Bing, DuckDuckGo, eBay and Google and Wikipedia to be included.

Thoughts and/or discussions?

Thanx!

Menu, tabs, X (for closing program) do not appear at start. I then have to do CTRL ALT Delete to teminate Firefox I have repeatedly re-installed Firefox but then have to reset all my preferences/bookmarks/etc. and the problem re-appears randomly. I just restarted Firefox and THIS TIME it worked! Normal heading: (attached) Top of Screen/Heading when error appears: No "Get Support Mozilla Support - Mozilla Firefox/no Tabs line/no bookmark toolbar/ no - + X in upper right corner" --->have to do a CTRL ALT DEL to terminate the program. This is a new ASUS Vivobook 15 Computer with Windows 11 that I've had only a week.

Is Firefox aware that when authoring e-mail in Microsoft Word, then copying them into the BT e-mail, all the control characters are transferred with it the ASCII text. I have checked with other people, and it is not just my machine. I now have to copy the e-mail into notepad first then copy to email, to just get the ASCII characters in the email.

When scrolling the print edition of the Wall Street Journal on an iPad (8th gen)the minutest flick of thumb up will return the view to page one. Doesn’t matter which page, it always goes back to page one. Very annoying and doesn’t happen when I’m using Safari nor when viewing other web sites so have to surmise it’s a glitch, setting or specific to the WSJ.

Read about using the Project Fission settings in about:config and only needed to change the gfx.webrender.all to True but I don't see the 'F' when hovering over the current tab to prove it's working.

Dubious as to whether this 'built-in' sandbox is as robust as Sandboxie.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thank you,

is het mogelijk dat het opslaan van documenten via firefox automatische voorzien worden van een firefox extension? Kan het zo zijn dat als je firefox verwijdert deze documenten dan niet meer toegangelijk zijn?

Als dat zo is hoe kan ik dit dan weer herstellen?

Very sorry. I saw 2 icons on my desktop and deleted one without checking to see if my Bookmarks were in both of them. They weren't. Do you know of any way to retrieve what I deleted, or should I just put them back as I need them? Also, I set up my original Mozilla account 5 years ago, and don't remember how to add a bookmark panel on the left of the screen.

Hi! I am running Firefox on an old MacPro5,1 with MacOS Ventura using Open Core Legacy Patcher. The graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630. So overall it's a pretty old setup but everything works fine. However, since day one, I've been having rendering issues with some (not all) videos on Firefox. These videos include some but not all YouTube videos, some embedded animations on websites, and every live stream video. The workaround is pretty straightforward: everything works fine on Safari and Chrome. Still, I am wondering what the issue could be, any help would be appreciated. Attached are two screenshot of what the rendering issues look like.

I just realized that my user agent string is wrong (for instance, it says that I am on OS X 10.15, even though I am on 13.6, not sure if that makes any difference at all.
