Firefox Community Forum

I've been using Firefox as my browser for a few years. I have to explain this. I turned 65 this year so I had to sign up for medicare. You have to go to the Social Security web site to sign up for medicare. I've had an acct with SS for a long time. When you log in it, it now gives you a choice. It tells you the normal log in "My SS" will eventually be stopped. They give you a choice of "Login.gov" I forgot the other, both telling you that you have to set up a 2nd type of authentication that it's you. So I purchased and installed a fingerprint scanner. I love it. I created an acct with login.gov. After logging in the next step is the fingerprint. You click on it the color things start swirling around trying to pick up the scanner but this box at the same time appears over it preventing login from seeing it. It says "this is a request from firefox" I've been using Turbotax for a year or two. Last week I logged into my acct with them and right away it popped up it see's the scanner and let me sign in with the fingerprinrt. So I know it works, and other sites do see it. Please Help! I'm not very technical with this stuff. Is it from Firefox or is it my PC? Attached is a pic of what I get trying to log in. You can zoom in on it.

Latest update reduced the size of tiles on my new tab page. they're too small now to read the letter or custom image. And only a few letters of the name of the site below the tile are visible. Not enough to know what the tile is for.

How do I return them to their normal size?

Greetings all, my trusty Firefox stopped working. Error Code PR_Connect_reset_error. Other browsers work fine. I have windows 10 with the latest updates and use Kaspersky Internet Security 21.3.10.391 (m). I have paused Kaspersky, uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox 3 times. I have cleared all Firefox cookies and caches a number of times. On my 2nd Firefox reinstallation Firefox worked ok for a couple of times then stopped again with the same error code. Please note that I am not very familiar with computer stuff so any suggestions need baby steps. Many thanks.

When I go to the website https://www.rebateinternational.com/RebateInternational/contactUs.do and I try to fill out the webform on that page and use autofill to fill in the e-mail address, it gives me an error message that says "please enter a valid email address" even though the e-mail address is valid. Also, if I do not use autofill, but simply type everything in manually, it still gives me that same error message. This problem does not occur in Google Chrome, but it does occur in Firefox. Sometimes I can solve the problem by erasing part of the email address and then re-typing that part, but that doesn't always work. It also doesn't work if I erase the entire e-mail address and type it in manually. The problem does not appear to be caused by add-ons and does not appear to be caused by hardware acceleration, because I have disabled add-ons and have turned off hardware acceleration. It also does not appear to be caused by cache and cookies, because the same problem occurs after I clear the cache and cookies. I will appreciate any response you can provide to help solve this problem.

I always use the middle mouse button (pressing the scroll wheel) to open and close new tabs, but since the update, it doesn't work anymore and now types "=" if the cursor is in a text field. For context, I use an MX Master S3, mapped with Logi Options+.

Anyone else having this issue? How do I roll back to the previous version??

SOLVED: It was a bug with Logi Options+, not Firefox. When I hovered over the tab for the presets I had for CaptureOne, I noticed it also said Firefox. So seems something weird happened there. Deleted that preset and the issue in Firefox went away.

I couldn't find a way to delete this thread, though.

As a teacher, daily I use a web conferencing service called BigBlueButton by BlindSideNetworks.com. Everytime I use it I need to allow pop-ups. This is because it assigns a new website name to the webconference session. Please take a look at the attached screen shot. I'd like to be able to put a wildcard in the domain name so that any random variation that is assigned will allow pop-ups.

The icons on my home page suddenly became significantly reduced in size. Sure, I can tell what they are, and I've increased the text size for their identifiers below the icons. But they are now so small as to be not pleasing to the eye. How can I put them back the way they wuz?

I have just re-installed MW due to probs using the original one, but now I cannot enter my registration code,(life time) there is no where to do so it seems,have looked everywhere?

Up until a few days ago when I was logging into email my password for that would come up automatically. The same applied to other logins butr no longer happens. Why

Ich kann nicht mehr auf McAfee True Key zugreifen: Die Seite zum ändern des Masterpasswortes hängt sich fest.

Two days ago, my Firefox was updated to version 133.0.3. Since then, the add-on "I don't care about cookies" doesn't work well anymore. Unteil two days ago, I hadn't been asked about cookies for a very very long time, now I'm being asked several times a day. I installed the add-on "I still don't care about cookies" in addition, but that doesn't help either.

When I use Chrome as my browser, it automatically loads my Gmail account without further sign in. When I use Firefox, I have to log onto Gmail every time and it want two stage authentication, even when I have ticked to option to bypass this. Not the end of thw world but iritating, especially when I have left my phone in another room.

Thanks for any suggestions.

When attempting to drag/Insert picture into email text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears. Firefox 133.03 64-bit is up to date on Windows 10. I have not been able to find a solution. The dragged/Inserted picture always ends up outside the email text box and cannot be moved into it for placement or scaling. What is a solution? Is this something new or do I need to reload Firefox?

It worked last Christmas!!! It is not important now that the holiday is over but would like to fix it.

The fucking forced dark mode has return despite the previous fix layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1 in about:config fixing it for years. This and the current replacement fixes don't save. I want a solution for PERMANENT light mode (black text on white background) for ALL menus, pop-ups, dropdown menus and hover over tab info.

And don't tell me to go search for a different theme I've already spent hours doing that and firefox has broken them only making some menus use the appropriate mode. On top of that I can't even pick an option to search for one that uses light mode I just have to go through each one and try it if I want to know which mode it uses that is NOT a solution to anything.

Replacement "fixes" for reference: ui.systemUsesDarkTheme won't even let me set to 0 only has true/false browser.theme.content-theme set to 1 browser.theme.toolbar-theme set to 1 (Why in the absolute hell these were added when a simple addition to preference setting wasn't is beyond me)

Very sorry for the aggressiveness but I am so very VERY tired of having to fight firefox on this preferance for years when their dark mode hurts my eyes.

Trying to pay £14.99 with a credit card on website www.sa2000.co.uk the card is handled by Worldpay. Clicking submit after completing card details is ignored. Sa2000 told me to use a different browser, which worked. Will this be fixed?

Firefox 133.0.3 (64-Bit)

I understand that as from 14th March 2025 I will need to update Firefox. I am currently running 102.0 and have sucessfully prevented Firefox from updating to later versions. I did this to prevent the updates positioning the tabs in the wrong place. Please can you tell me if the CSS script that I use to put them back into their correct position, i.e. below the Bookmarks Toolbar, will still work.

Also, will newer versions allow the user to choose where the tabs are positioned? It was possible to do this in earlier versions and the choice is also available in other browsers.

I have also managed to stop Windows 10 updating for several years too, Microsoft kept altering my laptop in unacceptable ways.
