Firefox Support Forum

A few days ago, after a Firefox Update (I think), I discovered that my Homepage and default search engine had been changed from Google.co.uk to Google.com.

Now every time I open Firefox I have to search manually for Google.co.uk before I can search for anything else. Google.com does not work if I enter anything else in the search box.

I've been going round in circles trying to work out how to change it back again, but nothing I've tried has worked.

Help!

Peter

Is there a way to view the primary password before entering it? If I'm unable to see the password while typing, or after I type it, I'm unable to know if my password is being rejected because I mistyped or I'm trying the wrong password.

I can change the size of everything that comes up below the top of FF page but can find no way to increase the size of what is at the top - in my case, the top the lines. My eyesight isn't what it use to be/

The 2 websites listed at the end of this post refuse to load. Both of them lock up with the spinning wheel that never goes anywhere. I have turned off Enhanced Tracking and I have refreshed the pages multiple times. Both websites are accessible via MS Edge. Can you please fix the glitch? The B&N website will display but refuses to accept any log in input (both manual data entry, BitWarden copy and paste entry, and BitWarden auto entry) Thank you. Problem websites are: https://www.citi.com/login?loginscreenId=ATTuniversal and https://www.barnesandnoble.com/

Computer is WIN 11 Dell and everything has been updated (FF, MS updates, Dell updates). Antivirus suite is AVG. Firewall settings have been double checked. Enhanced Tracking has been turned off.

Hello!

I´m using this addon in Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/double-click-image-download/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

But when I double click to download a picture, it gets no extension, it is a blank file. To watch the picture, I have to manually change to .jpg

I contacted the addons support and they told me the issue is in Firefox webbrowser and not in the addon.

How do I solve this ?

Cheers //Andreas

I have an external multi channel sound card (MOTU Ultralight Mk3 Hybrid). Gut feel is the hardware/driver is not relevant. I see there are multiple old bugs that have been closed. As such I have been told to open a new issue.

M1, Mac OS 13.4.1 - I am an experienced audio engineer so I know my way around multi channel audio config on Mac.

Audio was working fine from Firefox with a default setup. I had a need to alter some system sound settings for multi channel audio, unrelated to Firefox. When I reverted those settings. Firefox was sending audio to the non default audio channels on my sound card.

Safari, Chrome, Mac OS and Spotify were obeying the reverted config and sending the audio out the main outs. Only Firefox, for some reason was sending audio to channel 3&4. I could tell because I was getting a level on those channels. I have tried the following:

• Rebooted
• "refreshed" Firefox
• Used AppCleaner to completely remove all Firefox and my sound card apps, drivers and preferences
• Cleared cache
• Triple checked all my factory config
• Retested Chrome, Safari etc... all good with audio coming out the main out stereo channel

Firefox still sending audio to 1 & 2 (3 & 4 as the crow flies, and as the system sees them) since 1 & 2 are actually "Main out"

The audio is being routed. I just can't for the life of me figure out why Firefox is selecting the wrong channels. It used to work, and now it's stuck this way.

I have just completed a new computer with new Windows 11 and fresh dowhload of Firefox and was very dissappointed to find that the Firefox font sizes on the menu and toolbars were very difficult to read because of their small size. Most of the available settings in Windows and firefox to increase the font size resulted in making the web pages and fonts bigger as well. Looking through the the Firefox help pages this seems to be a common problem that lacks a satisfactory solution - untill now.

I solved the problem by going into about:config and making the following changes: 1. Make sure that Browser.Display.OS-zoom-behaviour is set to 1 2. Set Layout.css.devPixelsperPx to 1.3 ( or between 1.1 to 1.5 to suit) 3. Set ui.textScaleFactor to 75 ( or between 75 to 100 to suit, decrease this number as you increase previous)

This solved the problem for me and I'm posting in the hope others may find this usefull.

So, I've seen many apps that looked like they'd be helpful one way or another. (The latest was Malware Browser Guard.) When I click to install them, I'm warned that I'll be allowing the app to read what I enter, change things, etc. When I read more it sounds more reasonable -- it sounds like that at each step I'll be asked if I give permission for the app to read or edit -- the implication being read this specific page or edit this particular entry.

So by downloading these apps am I giving blanket authority to them to monitor my every click and keystroke or am I only telling the browser that I might want them to be able to do these things, but I need to be informed first when they are actively seeking to do something so I can decide whether to allow it at that point?

I don't suppose I have any guarantee that any software I use isn't collecting my userids, passwords, sites I visit, email I write, etc. -- but when I'm specifically warned I am authorizing a program to read what I enter, etc. it gives me pause. It's one thing to not know, another to say, no problem, have at it.

I'd like to take advantage of what some of these apps purport to provide. I'm hoping for some reassurance about downloading ones from presumably reputable companies.

Thanks.

I followed the steps to import bookmarks from Chrome into Firefox but when I choose my dominant Chrome account the Chrome bookmarks did not show up in the "import all available data". (Weirdly Bookmarks from other Chrome accounts I have did show up).

How can I get the Chrome bookmarks to be available for import?

Hi all,

After missing a few updates, I just updated from 1.06x to 114.0.2.

When Firefox relaunched, tabs no longer have a close button. There's always been an X on the right side of the tabs.

I've checked in about:config for anything "close button"-related, but things look OK to me:

browser.tabs.closeButtons = true extensions.tabmix.tabs.closeButtons.enable = true

I don't have any other tab-related extensions installed, and other than updating to 114, nothing changed.

Any suggestions, or other settings I should check? Did something change in the last few updates that affects tab buttons?

Thanks for any help! B

Followed all the "how to" but it does not work . The section of old backup file "BOOK MARK Toolbar" and "other Bookmarks does not load with "import: or "select file says invalid file.

I get an e-mail each day from The History Channel. Up until maybe four months ago I never had an issue, but recently I get the message Something Went Wrong Setting Up a Google DAI Stream as pictured below. I've got the latest Mozilla FireFox browser and Windows Home Edition 10. I can't quite figure out what is causing this. The link below works fine in Chrome and Edge. Any ideas for me? I prefer the FF browser. Thanks. - John

How do I change the Home Page and New Window. The methods shown on a search to not match the menu structure that show on my version (should be up to date) of FireFox. I select "open application menu" top right corner. The selected settings, then Home. Home page and new windows drop down box is clicked and new custom URL is entered. There is option to save the new Home Page. If you exit and restart it defaults back to FireFox home page. How is the change saved.

Using Google search all the various sources of help either describe or show a different set of screens to my version of FireFox.

For some reason every time I try I get a black circle with a diagonal line symbol, indicating I cant do it, ive already tried in Troubleshoot aka Safe Mode, its the same! Ive even deleted xulstore.json, still the same, I have no idea whats causing it.

No matter what I do every time I close Firefox and reopen it all of the sites I am logged into log out.

I have reinstalled Firefox I have tried both beta and Enterprise versions. I have completely wiped all Firefox data from my appdata folders. I have refreshed Firefox multiple times. I have tried to mess with all the privacy, history, and cookies/cache settings and nothing has worked so far.

No matter what I have looked into the problem is not occuring the same for other people. It seems to be local to my PC however, as I am logged in perfectly fine on other Windows 11 PCs in my home.

The only major difference between the last time I used Firefox and now is that I reinstalled Windows11 to fix a bug with its calendar. I completely formatted so there cannot be any left over old Firefox files.

Asked earlier about deleting and doing a reinstall. Would that mean losing bookmarks, profile etc.? I have backed those up and would like to know if anything else might be required.

YoutubeTV is suddenly not working on Firefox, fine elsewhere ... they suggest doing complete reinstall.

All my history, passwords and bookmarks got deleted on my local when I deleted my firefox account. This was not the intention and now I am unable to recover any of that? The logins.json file seem to be modified after this episode and I can't find a previous version. How to recover my passwords and history?
