Firefox Support Forum

Every day when I go to work with my laptop which has Fedora 36 installed, I open up Firefox in order to fill the "IT Checklist" where I need to visit a couple of local intranet websites in order to fill upbound threshold and inbound threshold.

I see weird Firefox behavior when it comes to, "Firefox remembering past logins". Let's say, I went to a website that has a URL like 20.200.30.200, and a password 1234.

Every time I try to log in to this website, Firefox asks if I want to update my password !! Something which I don't understand. Neither I am changing the password, nor I have written a different password to update with.

Every time Firefox try to update the password of this website with a random long string of character, which is out of my mind. I have to be careful each time and press "Don't Update" option.

On a normal website (let's say Facebook.com) there is no such problem. But when it comes to a local website, Firefox behaves very differently.

There is another website called 20.0.20.1. Its username is root and the password is 4321. But when I try to login in, only the password section is auto-filled, the username section needs to manually be written. Even though about:logins see both domains saving their respective username and password, when it comes to serving users, it sucks misbehave a lot.

Clearly, there is a fundamental problem in Firefox when it comes to handling how logins are saved and served to the user.

I really hope that Firefox 109 fixes this issue and handles the local website properly.

On one of my PCs the "Remember me" does not work .Please see the screenshot.

Normally, when I select "Remember me" the email address should be remembered and auto filled. On this machine it does not work.

Please note that I do not want to have login saved ( i.e. User Name and Password). Saving passwords works properly.

I tried to delete all data and uni stalled/reinstalled Firefox several times. the same problem

I often (daily) log into "NIKONIANS.ORG", now the webpage will open but as soon as I try to access any of the pages I get a bad request. At long last I open "Edge", no problem.

There was a problem with the computer, so we initialized Windows. When I finished the initialization and tried to log in to my Firefox account, I was asked to authenticate my email. However, the password to verify my email (I use Protonmail) is randomly generated and stored in my Firefox account and I cannot verify it. What should I do?

I am Japanese and I am typing this text using a translation tool. Sorry if the text is strange.

Not every time a aliexpress.us advert box shows up on my desktop. See attachment image. It has a decay timer so it doesn't stay up long. Goes away if I touch anywhere else. The problem spreads via firefox-sync, so my other PC's home and work. See it too.

I don't think it's from FF, but maybe an addon. I just disabled Download Manager (S3). It's the only sketchy addon from Russia (no clear terms of privacy). It's also one of the few addon's I have still doing updates. This is something not happening in the pass just started like 1 month ago. Maybe I got the handle on the problem.

Has anybody seen this before ? Doing a google search is fruitless for "aliexpress" term. It just shows up too much.

Since the problem is so random at startup, it will take many days to determine if the problem goes away. Unless I can force it to happen. Can't think of a way.

Thank-you for any guidance.

Here is a list of my current active addon's: AdBlocker for YouTube™ Feedbro Greasemonkey TWP - Translate Web Pages uBlock Origin

I really depend on these addon's hope it not one of these.

There is an MSN ribbon across the top of most webpages. My home page is the weather channel and it's correct but this ribbon appeared recently and I can't get rid of it. I checked add-on's and extensions but don't see anything there. To my knowledge, I did nothing to cause it to appear. If I close them, they just appear again the next time I open Firefox. How do I make this go away?

The ribbon contains a Microsoft search bar (DuckDuckGo is my default), and other icons like sign-in, settings, etc. This ribbon takes up valuable viewing space -- about an inch high. Amazingly, this ribbon disappears on the Mozilla support website but is there for everything else.

Appreciate your help please.

When I try to install Firefox on my Steam Deck (Which came with the installer). It doesn't open. It just says "Cound not open appstream://org.mozilla.firefox because it was not found in any available software repositories.

Please report this issue to the packagers of your distribution." It shows it every time I open the installer ever since I got the thing.

When I close Firefox and open it again the cookie deletion exception list is empty. The issue happens on my macOS/Linux/Windows installations.

I am using custom settings for the history. I setup Firefox to delete the history when I close it but I selected only Cookie, Cache and Offline websites data. All the other options (i.e. website settings) are unchecked.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

This is more of a suggestion than a question. Is it possible for Firefox to have an in-built collections feature, similar to the one in edge? I really like the Firefox browser but i've used other browsers as well such as Chrome and Edge and their in-built collection and also the group tabs function is very convenient when we want to refer to tabs from previous sessions grouped into their respective categories... I've tried some extensions available in Firefox to replicate the same function but they don't work as well

Which files/folders in .mozilla could I safely exclude from backups? My goal is to reduce clutter in my backup logs. For example, most of my backup logs are entries of things in "storage" and "weave". If this will regenerate should I have to restore, I would rather exclude it.

Hello Mozilla - Community, why does this( https://youtu.be/bXvv7vDEDyQ ) video only have no sound in Firefox? And what do you have to do where so that Firefox also plays the sound? It is like this in Firefox version 108.0.1 & Windows 10 22h2 64 bit. I use a translation program from German to English. As said before, thank you very much for your answer.

Youtube autoplay stopped to work properly.

After previous video next video really starts automatically then, may be after half a second or second, the video stops and returns to intro splash screen of the video. One must press Play to start this next video again. I tried next steps: 1. In Firefox Privacy and security settings / Autoplay: I allowed audio and video autoplay for all sites 2. On the left side of URL string for Youtube site I pressed the button and also allowed audio and video autoplay for the site. The image on this button changed. I reloaded Youtube - no effect, reloaded Firefox and Youtube - all the same.

3. I checked Youtube autoplay in Microsoft Edge browser - it works correctly.

What should be done in Firefox to restore autoplay? I don't remember when this problem appeared.

Hello, I am not incredibly tech-savvy, so please bear with me. When I am in a Facebook container tab and I click a link to a video, a new tab opens and suddenly all the tabs I have open in Facebook start flashing. All I can do is close Firefox. If I open it again, the page is blank and the tabs have stopped flickering. Is there a solution to this problem? I have about a dozen tabs open, roughly half are in Facebook containers. Please help! Thanks.

I have my login credentials saved in Firefox on a Windows PC. I just installed Ubuntu on another PC. I am signed into Firefox on both computers and Sync is enabled. When the Sync finished up on the Ubuntu PC, everything came across with the exception of the login credentials. Has anyone experienced something like this before?

So, migrating after more than 10 years in chrome I'm currently struggling with the function that completes a webpage while you type (it happens in some webpages, not all). For instance, if I start typing "www.itau", firefox doesn't fill with a known webpage (www.itau.cl). This behaviour is different for, say, typing "www.sa", in wich case firefox fills the missing letters to (www.santander.cl).

I've tryed to delete the suggestion "www.itau" from the address bar with shift + delete, but this isn't a webpage suggestion, so it does nothing.

I'm leaving two screenshots to show.

Sorry for any spelling error, english ain't my main language.

Xfinity streaming stopped working after the last firefox update. It's definitely firefox as it works on microsoft browser. I use the firefox brower and would like to get the streaming working again so I don't have to switch browsers.

Since upgrading to OS Ventura, my iMac can't stream Prime videos on Firefox. My Mac Book has no problem on the same Amazon Prime account. If I use Safari on the iMac, it works fine. Anyone else had this problem?

My NEW M2, Windows 10 drive failed catastrophically. Am having to rebuild my system pretty much from scratch. I have the old failed, Windows 7 SATA drive. It will not boot, but the data is mostly intact and accessable. I want to sync my new Firefox install from the old, but I need help.

I d/l Total AV and added Total WebShield & Total Adblock as extensions to my browser. Now when I open Firefox, it won't open in full screen. If I disable the WebShield, it opens full screen. Are there compatibility issues? Can you advise on how to fix it? It's very annoying.

I've been accessing the Townhall website for years without any issues. However, beginning yesterday afternoon, I started getting the below blocking message while trying to read the website articles. I claims that I have ad blockers, which I do not have nor use, especially the ones identified in the second image. Note that I do not receive this message when using other web browsers. However, I do use an AVG Secure Browser and an AVG Anit-tracking AP, but I've been using both for years without any issues. Why am I being blocked by Townhall using your web browser?
