Firefox Support Forum

Unable to open Word and Excel documents from within SharePoint. This has never been an issue but now the error message is shown. "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context." The documents should either open in the browser or trigger the desktop app. Installing older versions hasn't fixed this.

Looking for solutions, thanks

Since Firefox is natively supporting .webp images, they are displayed as webp images on web sites providing this option. How can we force Firefox to fallback to jpg or png images? I know .webp images support is an improvement, but for my case I need to export a lot of pictures from websites using a drag'n drop from Firefox to Windows Explorer. As webp images are not supported natively by Windows, this is useless... I would like to get the standard image instead.

Remark : Before Firefox v70, it was possible to force it tweaking about:config : "image.http.accept" = "image/webp,*/*" > change to "*/*" But this tweak is not working anymore.

I'm finally moving to Windows 10 with a new computer. I want to keep my Firefox bookmarks, saved passwords, and (if possible) settings from my old Windows 7 computer.

After installing Firefox on my new computer, do I need to do anything more than copy to the new (10) computer the final profile from my old (7) computer?

Print window only shows PrimoPDF, no other printers. Can see all printers in other apps, can't see them in Firefox. Tried resetting printer and all printer settings. Still cannot see all printers Windows sees in Devices and Printers!! Why can't I see a complete list of my printers in Firefox?!

I want access to investing.com but it will not allow unless i change adblock plus to allow there ads. I tried changing adblock plus to allow the adds but there instructions to do so won't work?

I use Hotmail/Outlook email. Lately, I've noticed that when I click on an email link and FFX is already open, FFX "times out" on the second link. I have to close FFX and click the link again, so that FFX is brought up from "square one," and the link opens normally. Why can't I just open a new tab for each new link without having to close FFX?

how do i import bookmarks from safari to firefox (70.0.1 (64-Bit)) (Standard procedure does not work, bookmarks are sucessfully imported by do not show anywhere...) also, there is no "star icon in the left upper corner that will display the option to choose my imported bookmarks. If you want more people stick to firefox you should seriously work on an easy solution for newbies to import their old bookmarks. I`ll give it 24 hours before I switch to google chrome....

Since the last update to Firefox I am getting a 'Firefox is already running but not responding error message'. This is happening on my Win10 machine - my Win7 box is not having any issues since the update.

I have followed the advice of creating new profiles, checking for locked profiles (and being unable to remove the lock?). I have completely removed Firefox from my system - uninstalled via control panel, deleted all folders in Program Files and Users etc, removed temp files and edited the registry to completely remove any Mozilla/Firefox entries. Completely clean install - as far as I can tell - but the problem re-appears as soon as Firefox is reinstalled. I've tried all this in WIn10 safe mode as well but still no joy.

The issue seems to be that there is a process running that cannot be terminated but I'm unable to kill the single remaining Firefox.exe process listed in task manager. When I try 'taskkilll /IM firefox.exe /F' from the command prompt I get an error that the process can't be killed as an instance of it does not exist. If I try 'taskkill /IM firefox.exe /T /F' it advises that a child process is keeping the main process alive - explorer.exe. Terminating explorer.exe does not free up the firefox.exe process for termination (same error of the instance not existing). The only way to clear the process is to reboot my system, Firefox will then start ok but when closed the issue will occur again.

I'm on my 4th clean install and the issue persists, so any help or advice beyond what I've tried would be appreciated.

I am on a metered connection. Updates chew up my data, and I want to CHOOSE when to use that data for updates. There is no toggle in the configuration screen that would allow me to turn off automatic updates, and setting the preference via about:config hasn't worked. I am very irritated by this. It's my computer, it's my browser, and I don't like being forced to do what someone else has decided I should do just because they thought it would be a good idea. If I can't find a way to turn off auto updates then I'll abandon Firefox for something more user-friendly.

I formatted my computer and then wjhenm I had to login to my Firefox Browser. It was not taking any of my old passwords. So, I had to reset my Firefox Sign In password. After the password was reset and sign in. I couldn't find any of my previously synced bookmarks. The synced bookmarks are extremly important for me. I need them back. Kindly suggest and show some way to get them back. Please help. Please Please,

I am just sending feedback. I was not able to located somewhere for submitting feedback.

It would be nice to have an option to DISABLE Tabs. I know, a lot of people like tabs but I am not one of them. <g>

Thanks

hi, currently when i open up a new webpage, there is a white loading screen. i have the dark theme, so its pretty jarring. ive been editing my chrome files but.... to no avail.

i have a userChrome.css with the following...

tabbrowser tabpanels { background-color: rgb(19,19,20) !important; } browser { background-color: #131314 !important; }

and userContent.css with the following...

@-moz-document url(about:blank) { html { background-color: rgb(19,19,20) !important; } } @-moz-document url-prefix(about:blank) { * { background-color: rgb(19,19,20); } }

am i doing something wrong? does quantum ignore my chrome files?

thanks

Hello good people, This is rather a request for advice than an issue report. I' ve learned about the facebook container add-on and wanted to know if there is a need for it if someone was making sure to exclusively open facebook.com in its own profile. Say you set up a profile(from about:profiles) namely "BIg Brothers" for notorious trackers like google, facebook , twitter etc so they can perpetually track each other with simple rules to observe like : - Never open an external(shared) link - Never access any other website through that profile.

Is there a particular feature the add-on is bringing up that the native interface is missing ? The other reason is add-ons are great but they tend to bloat the system impeding the browsing experience. I am the kind of guy who opens 7 concurrent tabs each running heavy js code so the lighter the better.

Thank you in advance,

Dom

Guten Morgen,

meine Passwörter sind plötzlich weg, ich möchte keinen Brauser der die Passwörter vergisst. Warum passiert dies immer wieder?  

Es sollte eine sehr einfache Rückhohkung geben und nicht so ein umständliches Suchen nach den vorhandenen Passwörtern und der Rückholung!!!

Ich habe ein umfangreiche Internetseite von über 30 Domain etc. wie soll ich da die ganzen

Passwörter merken!!!

Es ist ein Unding, wenn Firefox plötzlich die Passwörter nicht anzeigt, so ist dies eine Stundenlange Arbeit!!!

Ich bin sehr unzufrieden mit Firefox
