Hello - Firefox to Safari bookmark syncing used to work seemlessly between pc and ipad. Noticed it's no longer working. I've done all the resetting/restarting/logging out/uninstalling/reinstalling recommended. It still won't sync. I ended up installing Firefox on the iPad to get the bookmarks from PC. That sync works (takes a while sometimes). But it will not ever update the IOS from the last time it worked (maybe 3 months ago). I can erase IOS bookmarks and reload from iCloud, but the files are months old.

Has this function just been removed?

There are two different Firefox icons for saved internet pages on my computer. I am running Windows 10. One type opens normally in a new tab. The other causes all my bookmarks and home page personalised settings to be lost. If Firefox is already open, the bad one complains that Firefox is already running. I know how to recover the lost bookmarks and settings. How can I make the bad ones open like good ones? If I try to remotely open a good one resident on my wife's computer, it behaves like a bad one but it opens normally on her computer (Win 10 laptop).

Hi,

Firefox can't load is already a subject that I know, is answered here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can

But I need help, because I've tried everything inside, and my firefox is still buggy. I am on a point that I consider turning my back on Firefox because It's been months since I try and try again to solve it and I don't see a light of hope.

Problems I have are especially on youtube, and google searchs.

Here what I've tried : - Reinstalling firefox - Refreshing firefox - No color theme in firefox - Deleting all plugins, extensions - Desactivate proxy setting (I don't use a proxy) - network.dns.disableIPv6 is set to true - network.dns.disablePrefetch is set to true - I wiped my history and cache - Internet firewall states firefox is on white list

I have no problem of performance on others browsers - google chrome for example.

Please, could you help me ? Thanks.

Hey,

My name is Alex. I'm currently using Doxy.me for telehealth purposes. The past couple of appointments I've had have had issues with microphone access. Whenever I connect to the site, I get prompted to request microphone access from Firefox, but when I press the button the browser doesn't give the permission prompt. I've tried refreshing the site/browser, checking permissions on the address bar and in privacy & security settings, but there's nothing there, and I can't manually give permission to the site.

The only change I've had is that I've recently built a new PC with Windows 11, I'm not sure if there's a compatibility issue and I can't find anything about it. I've considered using another browser but I don't like the alternatives and would really like to just use my default. Any tips?

Hi there. I'm using Windows 10. Recently, I have noticed that pressing Ctrl+F4 doesn't close a Firefox tab for me anymore. Ctrl+W does close the current tab, but my muscle memory is for Ctrl+F4 and I'd like to figure out why it quit working.

Any clues for me? Thank you!

Firefox won't open local files in second filesystem

Firefox (113.0.1 (64-bit), Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu) won't open files in a filesystem other than the filesystem on which my home directory resides. I have a second filesystem mounted at /970 but trying to open any file whose URL starts with file:///970 elicits a "File not found" error message, e.g. "Firefox can’t find the file at /970/stuff.jpg". Setting security.sandbox.content.level to a lower number (I've tried 0, 1, and 2) does not fix the problem. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Firefox; it started after I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (x86_64)which got me a newer Firefox as well. Chrome continues to open files in /970 with no difficulty.

mount information for / (which includes my home directory) and /970: /dev/nvme0n1p2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,stripe=32) /dev/nvme1n1p3 on /970 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,x-gvfs-show)

I had 20 tabs open on one screen. I moved one tab off the the 2nd screen so I could see info between two pages at the same time. When I was done, I closed the browser with the 19 tabs so I was left with one tab browser on the 2nd screen. Unfortunately now I lost all 19 tabs because when I click restore Recently Closed Windows (tabs) the only thing that listed is the tab I already have open.

This has been an issue for a LONG time. I have to remember to close the temporary browser tab 1st then close the main browser with all the other tabs open LAST. I HATE that I lose everything if I don't close the split browser in that order.
