This seems to be a recent issue. Normally, when I click a link for a map (such as "get directions" for a business,) the map will be rendered in Google Maps. This is good for my use, because I'm looking for Latitude/Longitude and distances, and this is easy in Google Maps. However, the maps now default to MapQuest. I'm not finding any setting in the browser to change that.

Can you help? This problem has sent me back to using Chrome.

Thank you,

Ben

My computer needed to be updated so I click on update without closing any programs because the computer usually does it. At this time I was in the School Library well the update was completed so I open up Firefox usually when i open firefox after a shutdown or some other reason. I can go to Open Application Menu>History>RestorePreviousSession but before I clicked on Restore Previous Session I realize that I need to go to class, so I closed my computer. once in class I open my computer up and I try to restore my previous session but by the time that I tried to restore it my session was deleted and my question is if anyone at FIREFOX can help restore that deleted session because I was working on my research project which is due this week, and in that particular session I had tabs open that I need so i can finish my project. Please reach out as soon as possible. This happen on Tuesday. Thank You

Just got this notication after visiting a Top Games support pages when closed the private I used so no active data on what is going on. Very first time ever getting any notification with Firefox before so suspect wedsite as issue caught their linking code trying to drop tracers so maybe something there would appreciate your input. Game parent company Miracle Games I play from a Asian area and pulls some very strange behavior.

I can't access my email in fastmail.us and I can not reach their support page either. I am running FF119.0.2 (64bit) on windows10. This problem started with the upgrade to this version. I can reach my email on my iPad and on MSFT Edge which leads to the conclusion that this problem is FF related.

On re-starting FF all minimised windows from the previous session are open

I'm running FF 118.0.2 on Ubuntu 22.04. In settings, I have FF set to open previous windows and tabs. When FF does this it leaves all the windows open.

When I close FF only one window is open all the rest are minimised, so at startup I have to minimise most of the windows.

I wonder if there is some way of persuading FF to remember the state of my windows when it re-starts so that those that were minimised remain minimised?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ever since I updated to macOS Sonoma on my M1 Macbook Pro, occasionally left click stops working and I can't interact with the page. I can navigate between tabs, scroll and right click on the page, but I can't click anything even at the settings page. I've tried refreshing browser and uninstalled all plugins, but it's the same. I have encountered some other people that have exact problem with macOS Sonoma.

Am I understanding this correctly?

HTML backup (bookmarks) doesn't support tags and annotations, but JSON backup does, and JSON backup doesn't preserve the website favicons, but HTML backup does?  

So, what I can do, is restore my (saved) bookmarks using JSON backup, then restore the HTML backup, this would get my tags and annotations, and the website favicons back? But the downside, I will need to remove duplicates?

I am having problems printing to a pdf in firefox 118.0.2 on macOS Sonoma.

  • When I print a webpage, I do "Print using the system dialog"
  • I then select "Open in Preview", and the webpage appears as a PDF in Preview
  • However, if I then File>Save the PDF, it no longer prompts me for a folder location.
  • Instead, it saves it to a folder called "printing.983.3".
  • I don't know where this folder is located on my computer, because it doesn't show up in Finder.
  • Note that all my downloads go my Downloads folder. But not these previewed documents.

Is this preview folder a firefox setting?

thanks for your help!

Hi, Hope you all are doing well. I recently checked my website [removed] on different browsers. Website is working fine with most of the browser, but when i checked it on Firefox i got an error in DevTools "Image corrupt or truncated". What does it mean? This is a category image and present on sidebar of website. But all other images are same, i mean with same size and format. Why exactly this image is creating an issue?

Kind Regards, Hassan Mujtaba

I posted here the other day and no help came my way.

I had all my emails accounts at Google, my xbox account, my facebook and my MS account hacked.

What do they all have in common?

Their log in and password were saved in my Firefox.

The other gmail accounts I have that are not saved were NOT hacked.

Is it just a coincidence?

Can anyone at Mozilla care to respond?

Thank you

I am often now getting messages that Secure Connection Failed though I can connect to these sites through other browsers. It is getting annoying enough that I am thinking of switching away from FireFox as my default browser if there is not a simple fix. Thanks, Claire

Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a Firefox account with email1. 2. Add a secondary email2. 3. Make email2 primary. 4. Delete email1.

Expected behavior: no trace of email1.

Actual behavior: when you try to log on to firefox account with email1, it remembers this, and says to enter the primary email to log in. a la https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1388872

When firefox emails me that firefox accounts are becoming mozilla accounts, they email the DELETED email1! This is incredibly frustrating!

Doo not want Microsoft Edge so hopefully returning to Mozilla

Tired of the bullying tactics of Microsoft forcing me to accept Microsoft Edge when all I want is Google Chrome, so I'm thinking of making Mozilla my default browser, but I'm concerned about whether Mozilla will tranfer all my info. I sell the occasional bits on Etsy and Ebay. I had found the perfect tool to edit my photos on Chrome. Now this has gone haywire because I am forced into using Edge, which does not give me anything like the editing choices I have on Chrome. I have followed all the directions given by Microsoft to get off Edge and back into Chrome but they have all failed miserably, so I am trapped in Edge and all my efforts are turning into Groundhog Day ! Also if I return to Firefox, what will happen to all my photos, and the folders they are kept in ? As an 86 year old, I need clear, concise directions on how I can restore everything I need to be able to return to a browser I was completely comfortable with. Please advise.

userChrome.css not working

System Info: 1. Windows 10 Home 22H2 (as of writing) 2. Firefox 118.0.2 (as of writing)

I'm trying to make the simple change of moving the location of the 'find in page' bar from the bottom to the top and I recently discovered that using userChrome.css was the way to do it. I followed this tutorial in the following link, https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html, making sure to put the "chrome" folder in the right location C:\Users\myName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\sfytm5xk.default-release, switching the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true, entering the code snippet into the userChrome.css using VSCode, and restarting the browser for the changes to take effect.

After the first restart, I found that the 'find in page' bar was still at the bottom and nothing had changed. I restarted the browser about 10 more times and nothing changed still. I looked through the Mozilla Support forums, r/FirefoxCSS and r/Firefox subreddits for an answer and came across a few posts with similar problems, tried their recommended solutions such as downloading the userChrome.css file from the website tutorial, double-checking that File Explorer would show file extensions when creating or renaming files, or even restarting my computer and yet none have worked.

I have no idea what's wrong so feel free to share what you think the problem might be and possible solutions in the replies.
