Cut /copy and paste, nightmare!!!

what is going on? Cut / copy and paste should be easy, its not. Open a new tab, google homepage, and unable to paste the item I had just copied from another tab, it will only work when I go back to original and recopy? Too time consuming this issue.

When I open `about:preferences` tab, `Downloads` directory is created in my home directory, despite my downloads directory is different. I've read issue 474718 which states that it was fix but i still experience it. Linux x86_64

I used to be able to send tabs between my devices, say when I go from my home computer to my laptop. This option seems to have gone missing, like I don't even see the option when I right click on a tab. What happened to this option? Did I somehow disable it? Can it be restored?

Hi Our website has recently been experiencing a problem with a button, which it tries to open which returns a 404 error. Other browsers accept the button The link on the button is https://www.neotropicalbirdclub.org/checkout/%3C/label when copied but shows as https://www.neotropicalbirdclub.org/checkout/</label. </p>

Thanks in advance for your assistance

I have tried to disable hardware acceleration, refresh firefox, reinstall, and nothing works. It hangs every single time when searching on google or connecting to websites. This really sucks because I have used firefox since the beginning and don't want to have to stop now..

Every other search I do a Redirect Notice pops up. How do I get rid of this. Have used MS Edge and this browser does not have the problem, I am reluctant to transfer to Edge but will if I can't resolve this issue.

I wish I could give a specific example.

This occasionally occurs. An example is copying text from one site, and trying to paste in into a thread response field on another site.

But nothing happens. However, if I go directly from that page to my text editor, and paste it into there, no problem.

I then copy what I pasted in the text editor, and when i go back to that same page, it pastes into the field normally.

Firefox keeps not responding at random times, and will not play videos in websites (YouTube, Amazon, News stations). Webroot says Firefox has a memory leak. Could this be the cause? Could my firewall be blocking it? I update my browser constantly hoping to fix it. I usually end up switching to Chrome to watch videos.

8/18/2023 1340 Firefox ver 116.0.3 64 bit Keeper ver 16.6.0

I am still unable to use Keeper Ext. When I go to sign on screen for any of my saved websites, place the mouse in the sign on screen, nothing comes up for me to click on as before. On automated sights, nothing happens either. Can you advise estimated completion time?

This is what Keeper says:

Monitoring - We have pushed a new version to Mozilla (16.6.1) which is pending review to address autofill issues on Firefox. Aug 17, 2023 - 22:33 PDT Identified - We are aware of login and filling errors with the KeeperFill browser extension on Firefox. This issue is randomly occurring during initialization of the extension. Restarting Firefox when this occurs may temporarily resolve the issue. We have pushed a new version to Mozilla (16.6.1) which is pending review. Mozilla should release the update within 24 hours. Aug 16, 2023 - 11:24 PDT

Gradually I am losing all ability to use Firefox for financial and vendor payment logins. One by one over the past year I get varying messages that keep me from logging in. Chrome (which I don't care for) works in each instance. Yesterday Vanguard denied me, stating THEY are experiencing technical difficulties, apologizing for the "temporary" inconvenience. This message has been coming in for six or seven months at login but I was able to try again and it would let me in on the second try. Recently, a Vanguard rep suggested clearing my cache, which I tried successfully last week. Yesterday, I received the same message and clearing the cache failed. I love the Firefox structure and feel, and it's keyboard shortcuts, but I can't be fooling around like this every time I try to log in. This has now happened with a number of vendor payment accounts, my banking login and now Vanguard. How do I fix this?

Firefox is crashing for multiple users on Windows Server 2012 R2. I notice the websites sometimes are very to slow to load before it happens. I have pasted one of the crash reports below. This is on Firefox esr 115.1.0 and started happening 4 or 5 days ago. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and the issue is still happening.

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

Please don't go technical on me. I read exactly how to bookmark a website. I understand how to create folders. What I'm lost about is how do I create a folder in my toolbar, and not see the website in the menu? I have tried to put a saved site in a toolbar folder, then delete it from the drop-down menu, but once it is deleted the toolbar folder is empty. The folder I created still exist though.

Then I tried to create a folder and put it in the Toolbar. In the drop down menu I left specific websites.

When I closed the browser everything was gone from the folders and the drop down menu.

All I need it to create folders in the Toolbar area. Leave "non-duplicated" sites in the drop down menu. I just don't need to loose everything again, I spent hours doing this, I'm thankful I was able to do a recovery, except it was the last date I used days ago.

Again, this is what I need, not how yours is.

Thanks

I use FF 116 on windows 11. For months, I have had problems logging in to web sites. At first I thought the problem was with the web site, but I have come to the conclusion it is an FF problem. GlobeandMail.com, gem.cbc.ca and rbc.com for example ask for me to log in. I go through the steps giving my password and login name and the web site seems to accept these without complaint but it continues to want me to log in. I end up having to use Edge which works fine. Is there a solution?

After a recent change of my website's name registrar, Firefox (both on Linux and Android) has been running into issues finding the server/address. I suspect this has something to do with DNS, whether it be DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or otherwise.

Specifically, this seems to happen when DoH is on (as shown by about:preferences#privacy). I have confirmed that `curl --doh-url <cloudflare DNS query> <my website>` also fails to resolve the request.

This leaves me with a few outstanding questions:

• Do I have any control of whether the DoH request fails? Is this something I can fix through my host or name registrar?
• The TRR mode shown in about:preferences#privacy appears to be different than the one shown in about:config (2 versus 0, respectively).
• Shouldn't Firefox be falling back to normal DNS? I have confirmed via `curl` that my website works fine over https.

Firefox and curl results for Linux confirmed on two machines on the same network.

I recently came back from vacation when i started up my pc and so firefox all my tabs ands things automaticly opened like normal also a page with my saved passwords but it was empty all gone.

All my saved logins/passwords gone. I have searched on the forum and tried all the solutions given. Like the logins.jason.corrupt file i have 10 of those files in my folder but there all empty tried all of them. also tried switching profiles checking other profiles nothing to be found there either. im clueless and im in desperate need of these logins please help me ..

I am signed in with this email on another computer. The only idea I have is firefox is rejecting the email format before even checking the email.

Please help, thanks.

New Laptop, new Windows 11 - and running permanently into the issue of having to sign into windows security, when trying to open Firefox. If I click it away - it provides me with the firefox browser but its original set up. To get to "my firefox browser" set up I have to log in. I cannot find anywhere in the Microsoft settings the possibilty to remove Firefox from this requirement. I have tried to unstall and reinstall Firefox, also reset Windows security (which is a joke - as nothing is reset). Can you tell me how to get ridd of this - so that I simply can open the Firefox browser without having to fall each time over Windows Hello. (I have tried to unsign from Hello and use on the classical password sign in - no hope - still asking then for the MS password). Firefox is in some super secure vault - and I would like to get it out of there.
