Yes. "Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode" is checked. Yes. In about:config "browser.urlbar.autoFill" is set to false. It STILL does it! This is maddening. I'm trying to go to an address on my network for my IP cameras. http://192.168.50.65 (for example), and Firefox keeps changing it https! Then of course, it won't connect. How do I stop this? I hate having to start Chrome or Opera to manage these local addresses.

I am getting "access denied" for a specific website, ONLY ON THIS COMPUTER, using foxfire. Your articles are not helpful, and I'm not a novice PC user. I use "clear history" setting at close of browser. I'm am very frustrated, but I like foxfire and don't want to use Microsoft Edge. However, I will if we can't get this fixed. Thanks, Linda Vick

Simple, clear instructions to recover most recent Firefox TabsSessionManager Session. I am to the point of just finding a new session manager. I have used this produce for years, but I am disappointed they have not updated and automated the recovery process. nor do they clearly explain their analog recovery process and I need this F*** now. Its not like I have contributed money along the way.

A Trojan was detected in favicons.sqlite-shm by BitDefender, the report said it blocked it (see screen-cap). Soon after, I wasn't able to load Firefox, Opera Browser and Thunderbird. Tying to access them would start a popup dialog box stating that"Firefox is already running" and I'd would be asked to either cancel or stop. Pressing either option wouldn't allow access to Firefox etc., I had my computer scanned professionally and was told they didn't think the Trojan was still active and they managed to restore access to Firefox and Thunderbird, this took 2 hours.

I remain unconvinced my computer is free of the Trojan for various issues, including a corrupted winload.efi file (I have already attempted and failed to fix this) that won't allow Windows Defender to scan in Offline mode. Various other issues such a slow applications and occasionally flickering screen suggests the Trojan might still be active.

I'd greatly appreciate if anyone has information or experience dealing with particular issue.

Scans such as, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, etc. have been run and found nothing.

Hello, Firefox was working normally and then suddenly this start's to occurred, two days ago. If i am seeing a YouTube video inside another site no problem, but if I try to see the same video on YouTube site it won't play. If I maintain de play button the video play for 1 second and stops, then play for a second and stops again and so on. But in the YouTube mini-player plays normally The problem must be on the profile because the only way to resolve the problem is with a new profile. I have tried with disable extensions and troubleshooting mode and that don't solved the problem. what could be wrong with my profile? because I need this profile!

Thank you Firefox 103 linux

When I attempt to go to the OneDrive browser site using firefox it fails to load. It isn't infinite loading, nor is it displaying an error. It just finishes loading but shows nothing but a white page. This issue is only on Firefox as attempting to go to the OneDrive browser site on Microsoft edge works just fine. It's also only an issue with the main onedrive site and the folder browsing pages. Going directly to a file loads the page just fine.

I learned the hard way about a month ago that my main bank will not work with firefox. I've now received notices from two other banks that state they only support safari on Mac. I have run into issues with some others that will either give errors but still allow me to pass through or others that state I have an unsupported browser but still allow me to log into the site - for now.

With this wide a net, this seems to be specific to the security issues in the Mac browser. Is this already being looked into? Is this specific to the new OS and firefox integration?

While I basically trust Safari, I certainly don't want to use it unless I have to and I generally use firefox exclusively on all my Macs and PCs. Can someone shine a light on this? Is there an upgrade or update planned?

Thanks

Hello,

For two firefox updates, I've been having an issue where after about an hour or two of using firefox (it varies), video players on most websites will stop working. Almost every website except for Youtube's videoplayer stops working after an hour, all at once. Restarting firefox fixes it, but it's very annoying to restart firefox every couple of hours, and seems like a problem.

The following things didn't fix it: clearing my cache, disabling my addons one by one, turning off hardware acceleration, trying to watch the video in a private window, or reinstalling firefox. I don't know what's left to try. It has nothing to do with my audio devices.

Please advise, thank you!

This is a recent change -- the desktop browser didn't do this until a few weeks ago. It now plays slideshows automatically. This feature is called Auto-Rotation, but it has nothing to do with rotating the display on a phone or tablet (although that feature has the same name). This feature automatically rotates among the slides in a slideshow. It's incredibly annoying, especially since I typically forget its on (or don't realize I'm looking at a slideshow) and it changes to the 2nd slide just as I have begun reading the 1st. I then have to turn Auto-Rotation off and go back to the 1st slide to continue. When I remember, I have to hurry to turn Auto-Rotation off before it moves to the 2nd slide. Is there any way to turn this off? I can't find one by looking through Settings, and there's nothing on this subject in Help, that I can find. For what it's worth, whoever thought this was a good idea was wrong, but if there's a way to change so it's not the default, I'll be content.

Hello Community. Why is the bold blue text in the Google search results being truncated whenever there is a picture shown beside it? See my screen capture with yellow highlights to see what I mean. It's been happening for some months. I have reinstalled Firefox but the problem persists. Other browsers displaying the same pages are fine.

I cannot login to my office.com accounts with Firefox. Chrome & Edge work fine. Attempting to use Firefox will get me as far as the "Stay signed in?" prompt, then dump me back to the sign in screen: I have refreshed, re-installed, installed a previous version, used Revouninstaller to get rid of all traces of Firefox, deleted the Mozilla folders from the appdata folder and reinstalled + tried using a private window. No joy with anything. I believe this is the key phrase from the error message (quoted below): "client request loop"

Recently I am continuously proposed to install updates. I do that, but I think the installation may fail, because immediately after restarting Firefox I'm proposed to install a new update. I have Firefox set up to download updates as soon as they are available.

The version I'm using is 104.0, which should be the latest one available for desktop, therefore I don't understand why the browser is trying to load again the update.

I clicked in refresh thinking it would just reload it all. I am pissed as I just got back most of my extensions, (just not all) You could also make a list of Extensions that could be clicked on to reinstall them one at a time or all at once.

This is getting old, I prefer Firefox over Edge or all other browsers, as of this text I am thinking of looking for anything better, as it is getting crappy.
