Firefox Support Forum

My tabs keep disappearing and I have to restart manually. I used to go to the 3 bar menu and select Restore previous session but now it doesn't appear in the menu.

I have a 'site' that is just files on my hard drive.

I need to click an anchor link such as: <a href="file:///dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4">Store Your Files Here</a> and have Firefox open the folder dir4 with the systems file manager. ( In my case the file manager is Nautilus ) ( Ubuntu 20.04 )

I have seen this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work but it does not describe a scenario that uses the file:/// interface.

It also does not provide any information about how the files will be handled.

I can get the folder link to work currently , but it appears with the: 'Index of file///...' in a browser tab.

Obviously you can not use that for anything useful.

The main goal is to open the folder and be able to use the system file manager to include more content for the site without having to navigate to the folder manually. The folders I want to display are buried many levels down without the possibility of having descriptive names. I have ~121 pages/folders in this arrangement , and each one has content for each page. I would like to add a button on each of the 121 pages that will open each of the pages content folder.

In the last days it often occured that a website that I try to open in Firefox is pending (showing the waiting symbol, see attached image). If I open another tab to access another web site the same thing happens. If I then open the Edge-Browser to see whether it is a problem of Firefox, just in this moment, the websites in Firefox suddnely all appear!

This is not a coincidence. I observed it around 20 times and played around with the time waiting until I opened the Edge browser. I observed it with several kinds of websites (static to web app).

I don't suspect Windows to annoy Firefox, or should I?

This is infuriating. I have hundreds of Pocket saves, and a couple dozen Pocket tags. They did not/do not migrate when I do what Firefox tells me to do: log in with my Firefox account.

How does one get their saved Pocket articles to show up after being logged in with my Firefox account?

why not let use chosse hos we hear - see our error message, just the simple youv'e reashed a dead end or hit a bugger >< , let us control any and all sounds, you bombard us with, whether intenial or not  :):)

Today I'm wearing a very good $$$ Sony/gamers headphones to use because I have poor hearing. WOW...! The error sound went direcctly into my brain's pain center! That dang, ever so annoy ping, chimm or bell sound.

D.A.R.P. A. WOULD LOVE TO KNOW how you succeded in weaponizeing a simple sound. . . .!

I have run across some sites - well, pages on sites - which seem to stall and lockup my entire laptop requir8ng a restart and quick kill of the page when I then restart FF. I want to be able to simply block such pages or, the domain where such page resides. I can see things like blocking tracking but nothing on specific dom8ns or urls.

Was having troubles accessing tinkercad.com. Updated to Firefox 114.0.2 on win 7 64 pro. Can now access website but when I export a file from there, and try to open it from downloads, windows explorer gives error "not responding" when I choose restart the program, the file opens. This did not happen until upgraded firefox. And it did not happen in EDGE. I have system restored, and went back to the site not responding. updated fire fox again, and it keeps happening.

My win 7 works fine, and no, I do not want to update windows on this computer. thank you for your help.

I never actually sign in to my account, but I use Firefox all the time. Recently I tried to save something to my pocket for the first time and it required me to sign in. I tried to change the profile information but it sent a code to my old email that no longer exists. Do I need to delete Firefox and reinstall a clean copy under a new account?

I'm getting this message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to oauth.xfinity.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

when I try to connect to my Xfinity email. Can't imagine what happened to the authenticity.

The people who asked this question 3 years ago were given a "chosen solution", which didn't work then. And 3 years later the underlying problem is still not fixed. Last week I tried a new solution which meant messing around with the Firefox settings. And it worked - until the next time I restarted the computer.

I copy and paste in many of my activities, which interact with external websites e.g. discussion groups. The current frustration is a discussion about Adobe, which means copying text from one window to another. It does not happen. Unless this is permanently sorted in the next couple of days, regretfully I shall switch to a workable browser, e.g. Chrome. I cannot afford the waste of time repeatedly researching then not fixing a failing feature.

I have spent too much time trying to understand what is the deal with firefox bookmarks. It should be pretty simple. I have a bunch of folders that I add bookmarks to. I can see all the folders when I add another bookmark. But that's it. They are not available to go to, to find a bookmark. There are no folders. There are a bunch of bookmarks listed in "always show". Then if I do a search for answers, the answers do not address the issue bc it seems everyone who uses firefox has the same issue. My bookmarks aren't "hidden". What I need is to see the same setup with my folders when I want to find a bookmark that I see when I'm saving a bookmark, instead of scrolling through 1000 bookmarks with no context. (There is also no way for me to delete or clean up folders.) I need to access all the information I have stored in an organized, productive, fast way. It appears there are a lot of other frustrated people on these discussions with the same issue. I couldn't find any information or discussion of a system for clicking on something, opening up a folder, and clicking on the needed bookmark.

Hyatt.com links to websites work on every other browser (Chrome, Brave, Opera, Edge) but hotel websites on Firefox just spin endlessly and use too many resources. They never finish loading. I've turned off ad blockers, DuckDuckGo, and a few other add-ons to see if they're the issue, adjusted multiple other settings (proxy, etc.) and it makes no difference. This is becoming an issue with multiple websites in Firefox in recent weeks.

Fix your browser.

After probably more than a decade using Firefox, I suddenly cannot access my email on Xfinity. Now I have to use Chrome to get to my email. The message I get is:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to oauth.xfinity.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

I looked at the Help for this and couldn't understand any of it; besides which, the help didn't have this specific error; instead mentioned 2 other types of error: SSL ERROR RX MALFORMED HANDSHAKE and SSL ERROR UNSUPPORTED VERSION

I have been using Startpage as my search engine forever. Startpage has a new option to delete cookies when you x out of a tab. It has a different url than the regular Startpage. I tried to get Firefox to accept it. Two thousand variations, iterations later, and I still couldn't. Now when I open Firefox it says, startpage.com/ not found in a big red ribbon at the top of the page. Firefox won't let me go back to the old one either. There are other things but I'll start with this.

For the past week, Firefox for Windows 10, v 114.0.2 (64-bit) has been automatically opening all downloads. If you go into the download window, all downloads say "opening in..."

I've already gone into about.config and changed browser.download.AlwaysOpenPanel to false and it still happens. What else do I have to do to get it to stop?

Thanks.
