After setting Firefox as the default browser, every time I search on address, it opens Yahoo website instead of staying with Firefox. What else can I do to stop this from happening?

Thanks,

Alex

I would like to be able to control which OS and version is reported by my browser to sites like https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/ . I can do about:config but I don't see which setting has that info, to change it. I also see a User Agent Switcher extension, but it doesn't let you set the version of the OS. https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/ clearly shows my OS and version, so I know it's there somewhere. How do I change it?

I can't log into my xfinity account. I get the following: Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to oauth.xfinity.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

I have a Password Protection App. provided by my McAfee Virus Protection Service. I have used this service for years to pay my bills. We are senior citizens on a fixed income stuck at home, this is our only way to conduct our business. Today is the due date for our payment. Thanks to firefox blocking access to Xfinity we will now be charged a late fee. Please help resolve this problem. Thanks, Bill Kennedy

Hello Firefox community,

Today I was trying to write a message and needed to change the language for spellchecki9ng a bunch of times and got super annoyed by the fact that Although I use 3 languages in my every day live I cant find a way to remove all the other dialects that I nether use nor will use ever like English (Zambia) or Spanish (Guatemala).

Is there a way to have only a few and not all 20+? I use:

• Spanish (Spain)
• Catalan (Valencia)
• English (United Kingdom) / (US)

Thanks.

I'm using Firefox v114.0.2 as a RPM in Fedora 38 I've also added some pictures for y'all to see

Team, I cannot find google authenticator extension in the add-ons manager. i am trying to migrate from google chrome to Mozilla Firefox but I need the google authenticator add-on.

Every time I open my home page, which is google, the address bar automatically fills in the following string https://www.google.com/ . Then, as the cursor is already there, if I start typing, it just types before that string and does not take me where I want to go.

On my son's firefox homepage, the address bar is always blank and that is what I need this to be.

How do I make sure my address bar is completely blank when I open a new tab or go to my homepage?

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.

I've been using Firefox on my M1 iMac for a year and all of a sudden when I leave the browser open for several hours or overnight, when I go back to it, it will not refresh or allow me to go to new sites. I am forced to quit the browser and open it again to get it to work. I'm am fully updated on my MacOS and have the latest Firefox version 114.0.2 (64-bit).

I tried uninstalling the browser and reinstalling it but the same issue returns. Is this a known issue?

I prefer to keep the browser open but will have to close it until a solution is found.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Whenever I search on the Amazon site and click on a product I am interested in, Firefox blocks that original page with an identical one. It isn't a tab, but a totally new Firefox as if I started another session. When I close it, the Amazon search shows, identical to the fresh session was. It is so annoying. I do not see that happening on anything else.

The issue relates to copy and pasting images into Whatsapp Desktop. The issue has only been present since they moved from an exe to a Windows Store installation. Whatsapp do not believe it's an issue on their end.

Here's a reddit thread with a few users experiencing the same: https://old.reddit.com/r/whatsapp/comments/13xcbrd/webp_images_not_displayed_in_chat_since_recent/

When right-clicking and copying an image, regardless of whether it's JPG or PNG etc, it doesn't copy the image in, it copies a html document that seems to be a reference to the location of the image. I have attached a picture of what that looks like. It also claims to be a webp, which the original image usually isn't, so perhaps it's some conversion causing the issue?

example for testing: https://old.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/14r2j66/smart_watch_for_not_so_smart_guy/

I have tested this with multiple browsers and the issue is present only in Firefox and Waterfox. Chrome/Edge/Opera dont have the issue. I have also disabled all browser extensions, to see if one is interferring, no dice. Issue still present.

I hope you can help here, this is very frustrating. I dont want to move away from Firefox, i've used it since I was a teenager. Happy to help in any way I can.

I have a PC - a Macbook Air and an ipad. I am looking for direction on how or if it is possible to have all three set up with common products to maximise my security and invisibility and limit tracking by programs, websites, (preferably product that "syncs) programs for browsing, email I am NOT on social media but I am really tired of getting profiled when I click on or search a product or service or a health article in my browser and suddenly I magically start getting emails related to those searches. The online advice that I have searched is anything but consistent in its response. Obviously I believe my Browser should be Firefox, but after that things get really muddy. I even asked two different IT guys at my head office and did not get

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?

I am attempting to delete a few of the email addresses in "Monitor". Alas, after trying to click the trashcan icon, as well as erase/delete the actual email addresses in the Firefox Password Manager, also I have deleted the actual email accounts from the "respective" email services. *At least said "respective" email service have told me my accounts were...No Longer.?

At anyrate, I don't necessarily have any new email addresses to add, I simply do not use the ones I'm trying to delete. So, if anyone has any ideas, they would be received with much appreciation. Thanks all at the Moz:lla Support team and anyone else I've surely forgotten to mention, Aa-Ron

P.S. Thank you for the "Helpful Tip" at the bottom, however, I can think of nothing else. Although, my lack of computer literacy and below Pr-School level I.T. skills means there's a more than very high chance I've done something or other wrong. Ha! Thank you all, Aa-Ron
