In Firefox my google map location shows that I live in Maryland when I live in San Francisco.When I use Chrome this doesn't happen. I have spent the last two day trying all the solution Ive found online. Windows has my location correctly. Ive tried other map programs and they seem to have the correct location. Ive done everything suggested by google to fix my location but it still is incorrect. What am I missing Thanks Mark

Hi, I would like to join the chorus and say that the unified extensions button really needs to be fixed somehow. I can't stand it -- it slows down my workflow and seems like "change for change's sake".

But if you guys are serious that it can't be removed for some reason, then at least PLEASE make the unified extensions thing something that can be expanded horizontally along the toolbar (instead of just being a dropdown list) with preferred / most used extension icons visible in it, so that instead of

>clicking the unified extensions thing >scrolling down to find my extension >right clicking on the extension >choosing the option I want

It will just be

>click on the extension icon in the special unified extension section of the toolbar >the options for the extension pop up and I can choose one JUST LIKE THE OLD WAY THAT WAS EFFICIENT

I wouldn't even be opposed to an entire Extensions Toolbar with super security or whatever built into it. As long as the icons are still conveniently located and accessible!

I have a bunch of extensions that I don't need to interact with regularly, like my adblocker, https everywhere, or the thing to make webpages appear in dark mode. But every time I click the unified extensions thing they're right there at the top of the list. My screenshot extension however (for example), which I use constantly, is somewhere hidden near the bottom of the list, so I'm constantly scrolling down awkwardly looking for it. It used to be one button click to take a screenshot, now it's like five or six clicks and takes around 20+ seconds every time. IT'S VERY BAD USABILITY DESIGN. It might "feel" cleaner or more organized to put everything in a list, but it's not as functional for the end user (in my opinion).

Please reconsider your design of this thing and investigate the possibility of keeping certain extensions visible on the toolbar somehow to remain easily accessible to the user. Hopefully I've been able to explain my concerns to you. Anyway, I still love Firefox on the desktop, but if you guys can fix this that would be great.

Ever since the last two updates to Firefox, I can't use the browser without a lot of trouble. It won't launch for 15 minutes; links take several minutes to load; it's just not reliable anymore. The Firefox on my laptop works just fine since I refused to update it. I've tried starting in safe mode; disabling all add-ons; clearing the cache and history; uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works. I'm using Firefox 112.0.1 64 bit. Windows 10. How can I get Firefox to work again on my desktop?

All non-Firefox web pages (40+) are in DARK mode. (Black background, etc.). While I used to prefer this, I have found that some websites have information that doesn't show up. So, I need to revert to standard Light Mode for websites. So, I have confirmed on my PC: - Windows 10 settings are set to Light Mode. - Firefox Appearance Settings are set to Light. - Firefox Themes have Light Mode selected and enabled.

The Result: - All my Firefox webpages and Settings, etc., follow the Firefox settings. If I change the Theme, for example, they all follow. - Non-Firefox webpages (40+) do NOT change. With all the above: No impact. They remain Dark, with black backgrounds. Rebooting doesn't change anything.

Somehow, I previously changed a prior computer having the same issue. I don't remember what I discovered (hidden) that did the trick. I remember it wasn't the Theme option. (PLEASE fix this, so that THEMES over-ride).

I have my Firefox accounts Synced (on several computers and phone). Is this a root of my problem?

Please assist.

Thank you.

I have a Brother MFC-J53330DW printer, and cannot get the duplex printing feature to work on my computer since installing and selecting Firefox to be my default browser. It is a similar problem others have had in the past, and no solutions have come up that worked. I can print double-side/duplex in other browsers, and this feature used to work with firefox in the past. I updated the Brother drivers. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this issue? It seems like others have commented on it happening with other Brother printers with Firefox.

If you reference this question (Duplex printing not available on default Firefox profile) and others on the support site, the option does not show up in the print menu, or if using the system dialogue. Please help!

When I try to sign onto G mail I get redirected URL to YouTube. I do not want to sign onto youtube. I do not have a account with youtube. I started getting this error about 3 months ago. I have used Firefox and Google for ages - no problems. Using Windows 11. No problems signing into Google Mail using Microsoft Edge or Chrome. In windows 11 not using proxy server. " automatically detect settings" in proxy settings is on, found in the proxy settings page.

A error page pops up and I get the following:

The URL of the pop up error message reads:

https://accounts.youtube.com/accounts/SetSID?ssdc=1&sidt=ALWU2csEj2zpnizjrFGU3h9sNBNMtCvG4rtlKGP7g3eJ4xKhQO4U/EOyONt9IXvqALsn1cLSYza0iX7flqtYP4j4 coy5uhbPqr8lAUIs8JsN0K2yQi7pOMoNkOLJ%2B8l6RHdc5J7xKdZ5nveOBcU%2BA77TUTUtVkeujdhp672cGdTPnCCCLXlwFyqu%2Bv9cSY91kSk4kNF1hpoXJjSwdETffFF8Q6iT%2Bj0r xYrzTiO0j7T3rBpuHUp6Cf7RSD9MN3P1aNSTx3s27hhNd5xheyuYS8X0NPbMErMXecXDgT7EsdCi93Z5V4EwWoS70/vrD6Mdt8%2BabAvK0nt6aFdnizKrA3UJFOHH22kS4Zzni0BjikNi24 SXncaLKgs594Ful6g%2BUWYhDGXznFL2437g8tZnw/pL1LMdwRYG/XJx6ZbhmS9G5nBppfnF4dlNb1z4oKQwtnOQucw5MImHn7Dc4ADC2DgZtdMOTVeUvQ%3D%3D& continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/&tcc=1&ifkv=AWnogHfqStXCgyKf8fiIUn0S691FyRlapg4PIo0dOKpR6eiCvsguai0YJ2hX8EkK_h2C3_AjRC4r5w

The error message reads:

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to accounts.youtube.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

accounts.youtube.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely.

You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for accounts.youtube.com.

The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.safezone.mcafee.com, safezone.mcafee.com

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

If I hit the "back" button on the error message Google Mail will open.

Anyone know how to stop floating videos on Firefox anyone know how to stop floating videos on Firefox 112.0.1? This just started happening 2 days ago. Dailymail.com is the worst. No problem at all if I use Edge. I do have ghostery but Daily Mail gives popup saying to disable my ad blocker. Strange, because I also have ghostery on Edge. Again, no problem using Edge, just Firefox. Drives me up a wall.

I don't know what happened. Firefox totally changed its look on me. It seemed it wiped out everything, as if I was a new user. I did a refresh not thinking what it was so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. But this is NOT the FF I've always used. It looks like Chrome!

Luckily, I had written down my settings, preferences, add ons and even changes I made to about:config settings. But for some reason, FF is not accessing web sites. It just keeps spinning and nothing is happening (but this message board page is working for some reason).

What the heck happened?

Several years I logged into an extended family member's computer, accidentally sync from another browser and now this folder has been following me around. The thing is it's full of some really gross things. Mostly extreme right opinion pieces and just so much porn. I really want this folder to go away, but when I right click it the delete option is grayed out. I've tried deleting them one by one, but everything I close the window and reopen it again, all of the links are back. How do I purge this from my mozilla account?

Hi My settings are as Mozilla suggests and I use to let Firefox save some logins. But I cannot save my login on this site: portal.mobilepay.dk No (error) message, no nothing, when logging in I just doesn't get the option to save the login. Both Chrome & MS Edge have no problems here, but when possible I always prefer to use my standard browser Firefox. :)

Any suggestions?

All the best, Henrik DK
