Firefox Community Forum

Hi - I've tried your solution many times and even thought Firefox says the import from Edge was successful, I don't see any imported bookmarks where you say they should be.

When I start typing, there's a feature that is not very good for my privacy: "Firefox Suggest" - it shows off my web history to anyone looking at my screen, complete with thumbnails for all the websites. How can we stop it?

I'm developing a PHP Symfony based website powered by nginx-full 1.18.0-6ubuntu14.4, one of the functions is to allow people to download a PDF invoice.

When it fails Firefox shows an alert "Downloading (Failed) The browser application closed unexpectedly."

On my linux desktop; when I use Chromium 114.0.5735.198 this functions works 100% of the time. when I use Firefox 114.0.2 (64-bit) the PDF download only works ONCE after that the download never completes and I'm left with a partial/corrupted 75.7KiB file named filename.Br-neZWO.pdf.part etc.

I have discovered that if I clear the firefox cache I can perform one successful download again. or I can restart Nginx and again Firefox will perform one successful download again.

I've tried altering many Nginx settings, cache, gzip, sendfile etc with no effect. It might be Nginx related but it does not effect Chrome at all which is why I've started this ticket.

Any help in debugging this would be greatly appreciated.

Good Morning. Would someone from Mozilla please tell me why I get the following message "Your browser is being managed by your organization" Who is my "organization"? Have I been hacked?

Thank you.

After updating to Firefox 115.0-1, I noticed that the tab names for all inactive tabs automatically greys out whenever the main Firefox window loses focus (see attached gif image). Only the system theme is affected. I should also note that only Firefox 115 exhibits this behavior (downgrading to Firefox 114.0.2-1 fixes the issue).

I'm not sure if this is by design. I've gone through the change log for Firefox 115 and found no mentions of this.

Of course, the behavior isn't that big of a deal. However, since I'm using a window manager (i3wm), an annoying "flash" (see attached gif image) can be observed every time I press a keybinding to activate a binding mode.

If this is a new feature, I'd very much like to turn it off in about:config.

Does anyone know how?

Two issues:

1. History is truncated, does not show all history even though Custom Settings set to remember. One google post said to 'delete all history upon closure' ... There are many, many posts from users having same issue.

2. Whatever history is being recorded is no longer simply a list (Ctrl-H) but is sorted into Today, Last Week etc. which is both annoying and makes searching for previously located site impossible unless you know WHEN you visited (unlikely).

Why was the changed? And why don't you change it back so when I select History, Show All History from task bar, Firefox would do just that?

I have recently added the extension Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express. It does not appear on the toolbar. I've looked and tried what was onthe support pages and nothing helps.

Is this an extension that should appear on the toolbar. I am not using private browsing. If it can be on the toolbar, how do I get the thing on it you use? Just a bit frustrated.

Thanks, Irv

My discord time has been broken and I've asked the discord support but they said to ask here if there's any issues with firefox itself. I've closed and reopened the page multiple times, used a vpn, cleared cache and cookies, and even tried and restarted my computer but the issue persists. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Edit: this issue only exists within firefox, not with any other browsers nor the app.

The people who asked this question 3 years ago were given a "chosen solution", which didn't work then. And 3 years later the underlying problem is still not fixed. Last week I tried a new solution which meant messing around with the Firefox settings. And it worked - until the next time I restarted the computer.

I copy and paste in many of my activities, which interact with external websites e.g. discussion groups. The current frustration is a discussion about Adobe, which means copying text from one window to another. It does not happen. Unless this is permanently sorted in the next couple of days, regretfully I shall switch to a workable browser, e.g. Chrome. I cannot afford the waste of time repeatedly researching then not fixing a failing feature.

I really love Firefox and think it to be one of the best browsers but just there is one problem with it. It really uses a lot of my battery and ram of my Macbook air M1. The amount of battery usage is significantly higher compared to other browsers (Even about 10 times more!), It is my request to Mozilla to fix this problem. Firefox is really awesome but it uses a lot of resources.

I had my Mozilla homepage set to where a new page would open when I clicked on one of my shortcuts. Now its just opening the page right on my homepage instead of a new tab. I can't figure out how to fix this on my laptop. ALSO- my "Recent Activity" is displaying on my homepage and I don't want that. How do I stop that?

DO NOT LET THE NEW ESR UPDATE BE ALLOWED ON YOUR DESKTOP..............CAUSES SITES TO CRASH. AND FOR MY NEEDS FORCED GOING TO A PRIVATE WINDOW TO DO ANY BUSINESS ON WEBSITES.............THIS UPDATE IS BEING FORCE FED TO THE GENERAL USER AND NOT KEPT IN THE ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT BELONGS...................I HAD TO RELOAD AND RE-SYNC TO VERSION 114 AFTER INSTALLING VER 115.1. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION IF IT IS LOADED..............THIS UPDATE IS NOT! TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY......ITS HAS BUGS AND NOT FULLY TESTED. VLD

When using Firefox browsing, every so often, on the left hand margin of the active window, a half of a black dot protrudes, about half way down the window, and then pulls back to disappear. The whole episode lasts about a second.

Certainly not a big deal. I am just curious as to why that happens. I have also noticed it on the right hand side. I don't know, either, if they happen at the same time.

Thank you for your help.

All my search results now use google, thanks to the FORCED installation of the search engine google. Even after I have deleted it and deleted it and deleted it and deleted it and deleted it, ALL SEARCH RESULTS ARE NOW FROM GOOGLE, whether I like it or not. Mozilla has FORCED A COMPLETELY BROKEN SEARCH ENGINE ON MY PC(google), and now i can't rid of it, AND THEY ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO HELP ANYONE.

I'm trying to export my saved login data. When I select export data, a popup opens asking for my Firefox password. After entering the password, it indicates the password is not correct. I've reset the password with the same response.

A few days ago, after a Firefox Update (I think), I discovered that my Homepage and default search engine had been changed from Google.co.uk to Google.com.

Now every time I open Firefox I have to search manually for Google.co.uk before I can search for anything else. Google.com does not work if I enter anything else in the search box.

I've been going round in circles trying to work out how to change it back again, but nothing I've tried has worked.

Help!

All my history, passwords and bookmarks got deleted on my local when I deleted my firefox account. This was not the intention and now I am unable to recover any of that? The logins.json file seem to be modified after this episode and I can't find a previous version. How to recover my passwords and history?
