In the latest versions of Firefox all connections are automatically upgraded to https. As a result, I can no longer use Firefox to access this site: http://hearts.vex.net hearts.vex.net is a site which I've been using and enjoying for years. Since the site has no https URL registered with their hosting provider, all requests end up here

As Firefox is my default browser, I have to use other browsers for this purpose, which I'd prefer not to do. A setting in the configuration file could be added to disable this behavior either globally or for a specific site, correct?

I have been using online banking for years and using Firefox to access my accounts. Suddenly, I now get an error message (see attached) that demands I use another browser (e.g., Chrome, etc.). I want to continue with Firefox. The website support people tell me there is a Firefox update needed, but the latest Firefox is installed. I did the usual and deleted the cache and the site data. No effect.

Can you help?

Laptop: Machine Type: Acer Aspire 5 Laptop (model A515-51-50RR) Processor: Intel Core i5-7200U at 2.50GHz (8GB RAM; 1TB HDD) O/S: 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Firefox: 106.0.2 (64-bit)

So, I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I recently tried setting up XEMU and that had some display UI issues for me. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but after I tried setting it up all the text on Firefox is too big. The toolbars, menus, settings etc. look okay but on webpages the text is way too big. I've tried about:config settings, changing my Windows resolution, and other things, but nothing has fixed my issue.

Link doesn't display in Firefox but displays properly in other browsers.

Having an issue with a link not displaying in Firefox 105.0.5 (64-bit).

It’s the “read more” link on this url: https://www.swansonvitamins.com/p/swanson-premium-triple-magnesium-complex-400-mg-300-caps

The “read me” link doesn’t display in Firefox but displays properly using:

      Brave (1.45.123)
      Chrome (107.0.5307.107) (Hate Google)
      Internet Explorer 11 (11.0.170)
      Microsoft Edge (107.1418.35)

I searched “firefox some links don't display” and tried the solutions I found to no avail.

Tried these:

      Turned VPN off.
      Started in Troubleshoot Mode.
      Removed cookies and site data for this site.
      Turned Enhanced Tracking off for this site.

With all of these settings (at once, not one at a time) and closing and reopening Firefox (in Troubleshoot Mode) the “read more” link still doesn’t display.

Attached image showing how the link displays in Brave and how it doesn't display in Firefox.

Thank you.

Hi my OS Linux mint. 20 Running FF 106.0.1 The problem i have is editing large pdf ie multiple pages. I seem to be able to modify 1 page and that saves just fine. But if i try and modify multiple pages of the same pdf no changes get saved.

I also tried print to pdf and that came back with errors. I ended up having to split the pdf into separate pages and do each page individually and then re merge them

Any suggestions please

I previously posed a question about your updates, which your respondent (Dropa) entirely ignored in her/his response. The issue is NOT that I cannot invoke an update, but rather that your system of updating is flawed. I am informed of an update, which nevertheless will not install until several times after I close and reopen Firefox. Moreover, while it is doing this update, my browsing on the web is completely halted for well over a minute. Surely you can do better than this ...

Hello,

I've had this issue for quite some time. Whenever I'm using the Firefox browser and it is the front focused window, Windows changes my audio volume to 50% whether I have it set manually below or above that. Whenever I move focus/minimize the Firefox browser, the volume goes back to my manually selected volume globally for my PC. This doesn't happen with any other application.

I've unchecked the option on all audio outputs "Allow Applications To Take Exclusive Control Of This Device" located by right clicking "sounds" on the speaker system tray then "playback" and "advanced". Which didn't fix the problem.

I use a desktop computer with Windows 10 and LastPass password manager. After an automatic update, Facebook opens but there is nothing there....the screen is blank. It will open in Troubleshoot mode. All of my other sites open normally. It is just Facebook...and driving me crazy. See attached image. I cleared history, rebooted, etc. Nothing seems to work.

Don't mean to complain about such a trivial thing, but on macOS the new icon for Firefox as of 106 just doesn't look right. It was PERFECT before this. Yes, I know I can copy and paste the old one into the new and it's problem solved, but figured I'd post here to see what everyone else thinks. Again, it's not the end of the world, but it just doesn't look right.

Firefox list all my stored insecure passwords. How could I remove all (+700) insecure passwords? Not one by one but all together?

Thanks.

btw this solution is not working

Yes, you can - only since the update to Firefox version 73 the extension "xul" has been changed to "xhtml", so now you will have to enter this in the address bar :

chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xhtml

Since this address give me error

Hello, since the last FF update a week or so ago, I am now required to log in to EVERY single site that I seem to go to (AOL, Facebook, Twitter, Weebly (my own web site), and many others). Before the update, I would only need to log in to these web sites every so often. Is there something I can do to eleviate this? Thank you.
