Firefox Support Forum

I open a new window, and it says, "Google Search". So I type in a search item, the result comes back from YAHOO search. I have tried several times, without success, to change it, or remove YAHOO Search engine. Yahoo doesn't appear in the engine selections, and google does. I select it, save, restart, and BOOM... I get Yahoo rsults from the google search.... What gives?

Thanks...

I normally use multiple search engines by using the dropout panel with search engine icons (I think they're called one-click) on just one address bar (The red label on the image), but since last update they no longer appear on just one address bar (the blue label). I have attempted to enable the search bar, and there it seems to work so maybe its somehow hidden from the design... Is this a bug? I have browser.search.showOneOffButtons and browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches set on TRUE, and use no particular theme. Searching if someone had the same question I came with complaints asking for the panel to be removed so I wonder if its a design interface decision. Thank you in advance for your time.

When I go to the Cox usage page after I sign in

it is blank when using Firefox.  Using Edge (don't like to use) the page loads correctly.  Have cleaned out history and cookies and cache..any other suggestions?

for the last 2-3 updates everytime I go to start firefox I get a busy cursor and firefox won't open. When I check task manager firefox process is listed but I can not end it. Als a consent ui process appears for a split second, then vanishes, then reappears and vanishes in an infininte cycle untill I log out of windows to force it to close.

I browsed to mozilla install location and deleted the only .xpi I didn't recognise a doh-rollout@mozilla.org.xpi and thankfully I can launch firefox again. As this problem seems to come back every update I'm hoping someone has an explaination and fix.

I had about 7 or 8 favorite sites in a menu bar across the top of my firefox screen. I did something to make them disappear. I don't know how to get them back. To create them I just grabbed the URL and moved it to this bar, and it would then become a clickable link after that. I can't find out how to create them again.

Initially the Crash Reporter window would open occasionally, but clicking on ‘Try Again’ opened the programme. Now it will not open at all. I’ve completely unistalled the programme and installed the very latest version, but to no avail.

My crash ID isbp-cf98f93e-6ab7-4a52-bdf3-f0b940200110

I have consistently used Firefox as my browser and had no trouble using Ancestry.co.uk.

Over the past couple of weeks, it seems there are parts of Ancestry's functionality that no longer work with Firefox. When I first experienced the issue I tried to do the same operations using Bing, and there was no problem - so it seems the problem lies with Firefox.

Any ideas?

I can login to this forum (and post a question). I suspect that it's because my e-mail is so very short (7 characters) that some reg-ex filters think it's not valid - but it is. When I enter my e-mail in the login screen, I always get a red suggestion for another domain, but my e-mail ends with just "c.dk" which is valid, and having just to characters before the @ makes the e-mail address very short.

Because i didn't find any thread that adresses this exact issue, I wanted to say that I found a solution. If you want to open links in Gmail (with a normal, left click) in a new window, you type about:config in the search bar, accept, then search browser.link.open_newwindow and set the value to 2. This will open clicked Gmail links in new window. If you want to open links in Gmail (with a normal, left click) in a new tab, you type about:config in the search bar, accept, then search browser.link.open_newwindow and set the value to 3. This will open clicked Gmail links in new tab. Hope this helps.

I have made every possible attempt to use all of my powers to provide my question in the most clear, efficient-for-you-the-reader way. Therefore, as thus, the attached images contain text explaining in situ (the images provide the situ portion of in situ) the information my hope is can be addressed by the very generious volunteers at FireFox, who all do a fantastic job that is to be commended, and therefore I do commend it.

I would like make my address bar longer.

Setting up a new LG laptop. Downloaded Flash and Shockwave Flash but they don't appear in my add-ons. Looked on the add-on pages but cannot find any that activate either. I have it on another laptop and it works fine (Shockwave Flash 32.0.r0). Even searched for that exact add-on but it returns no such program. The icon for Flash (on the URL line) doesn't appear on any page. Obviously, I can't play on-line games or watch any content unless Flash is available. FireFox is updated to the latest version as is Win10. Using WebRoot and Malwarebytes. Any ideas as to why this is?

After updating to version 72.0.1 I am no longer able to watch fullscreen youtube videos through an external device unless firefox is booted in safe mode. I have tried removing all of my addons and even uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh copy of firefox and the issue persists.

I have Firefox 72.0.1 (64-bit) as default browser. I use Google calendar, and Firefox sometimes gives me a mostly empty page, and sometimes works as expected. Chrome always renders the calendar correctly.

My Mozilla Firefox browser does not open when I click on the icon. When I reinstall Firefox it does open, but it happens too often and I do not want to reinstall Firefox over and over.

I've used prime video since 3 years without problems. From 2 days (14 Jan 2020) the prime video player gives me the error 4315 when I try to start a playback and it does not work. I've tried on different linux machine with the latest upgrade istalled (both SO and browser) and the problem is the same. I've disabled all addons and also the tracking protection of firefox without success. Does someone have the same issue? Any ideas on how to solve? Probably an Amazon problem? Please help me if you can, thanks !

My PC is used by me and another person and we use vastly different zoom levels. My partner uses about 0.75 and I use 1.25 in Chrome and would like to set similar zoom levels in Firefox. As I use the PC most and I want the default zoom level to be 1.25. I would like to replace the FF level of 1.2 with 1.25 and delete some of the lower zoom levels. A setting of 0.33, 0,5, 0.75., 1.00 and 1.25 to replace the settings up to and including 1.33 would be my desire. I wish to leave the higher zoom levels unchanged.

I understand I can change this in about:config but would like some assistance in doing this.

I was trying to access a site via the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/). It did not load, so I tried disabling all browser extensions. That did not work. I tried it in another Firefox profile that I rarely use, and have not configured at all. It does not work.

When I try to download a .dmg file the default is to is to open it with "DiskImageMounter". This is disastrously bad behavior and there seems to be no way to change this insane default.

As above. My guess is I have tool bar on left side of screen and Firefox thinks it is on bottom and leaving room. First image is screen when I expand manually to full size. Second image is what screen looks like after clicking max box. Note second uses default background color I picked. on bottom is part of Word Window that I shouldn't be seeing.
