Firefox Support Forum

Hello,

I recently tried to renew a subscription to continue getting alerts for the ISS flyover times. I entered the info to renew, and was told a code was emailed to my address. After 8 attempts over 2 days to receive the code (which was never sent or in my spam folder), I used Chrome to fill out the form, and immediately received the code.

To log on here to ask this question I used Firefox (and I have Thunderbird for my email) and repeated tries got me no verification code. Switched to Chrome and instantly got the verification email.

Just trying to figure out what is preventing me from receiving authentication codes after typing in legit requests with Firefox.

I am using Win7 (x64) with the latest updates of Firefox and Thunderbird. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For years this has been working GREAT! Then suddenly after a recent FireFox update, Pinterest broke again.

Used to Function:

• Logged into Pinterest.
• The browser stayed logged in.

Current Function:

• When I load Pinterest.com into a browser page in firefox, it looks like I'm signed in.
• When I attempt to "pin" something to pin (any of the methods available to do so--all 3 have the same result) a pop up from Pinterest appears, says "welcome back" and tells me to log in.
• At first this worked but annoyingly it asked me for every pin I wanted to do. It isn't h olding the session, apparently. Now, after a few moments of pinning recipes and other articles from my email newsletters I want to save for later, it says I've had "too many log in attempts" and am apparently blocked from Pinterest because of it for 30 minutes or longer.

I was logging in with Google. So its blocked everywhere (any browser, any device)

Hi,

The paste function on Firefox suddenly doesn't work. I've tried to paste passwords from my password manager into different sites and they don't work. The username is acting funky too. It usually pastes into the site after multiple tries.

Any advice? Please help. Thanks. Phil

All of my other bookmarks are accessible as normal. Previously my links to www.legislation.gov.uk worked normally but two days ago the link (and sublinks to specific legislation, which give different line and column numbers) has received the following error message

XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </link>. Location: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ Line Number 32, Column 128:

I'm unable to view a hyperlink from my yahoo email account. I keep getting a message: We can’t connect to the server at r20.rs6.net.

Starting a couple of months ago, images do not load in emails sent by Constant Contact despite the domain of the sender being in Outlook safe sender list. This does not happen in Edge or Chrome or Safari. Interestingly, adding a new domain to the safe sender list will result in Firefox very briefly displaying images then refreshing with them removed.

In case user network namespace are disabled on linux, fork return ENOSPC, as the user network namespaces are exhausted (as the limit is set to 0 [1,2]).

It would be great if there would be a work around for such a situation that user network namespaces are disabled. It would be even better if firefox could handle that situation gracefully and run without `CLONE_NEWNET` automatically.

The output is:

``` [Parent 5699, IPC Launch] WARNING: fork() failed: No space left on device: file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-112.0.2/ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_linux.cc:273 [Parent 5699, IPC I/O Parent] WARNING: Failed to launch tab subprocess: file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-112.0.2/ipc/glue/GeckoChildProcessHost.cpp:800 ``` Note that " No space left on device" is wrong, it is about the limit in terms of user network namespaces.

Best, David

Just curious, how is it that Firefox does NOT reace to the windows 10 display manager? All other app windows do what they're supposed to do whtn you use the "taskbar + right click" function to cascade windows, show windows stacked, and/or show windows side-by-side.

However, Firefox does minimize with windows + D (show desktop/show windows).

NB: Not critical. Just convenient when I have too many apps [10-12] running at the same time.

Kudos,

None of my websites I try to visit want to load, I have tried multiple websites but I just get loading line in the top of the tab but nothing works.

I have tried visiting stable sites likes google but still nothing will load. I have tried another browser which works fine.

I am running version 113.0.1 on windows 11

I am trying to access, patient network during dialysis treatment, Edge shows access blocked! Firefox. Brings up login page, userID, pw text boxes display. User ID & PW entered. Result Negative: Unable to connect, bullet points USELESS. Attempted CTRL + I, no method to load URL into site permissions function (searched for web page permission list) not found, Privacy & Security, not listing... A) How to enter a site + set site permissions. B) WTH... ctrl+I, what's the use of this, if access options aren't part&parcel of menu?!!! C) Where is the option to enter 'a' URL, & 'set' access permissions? Why must it be difficult to load a desired web site?!

Hello Community,

I have always found the "Save Image As..." menu command when right-clicking with the mouse in order to save an image. Recently the website where I download these images from has implemented an automatic zoom feature that changed this standard menu (now appearing with commands such as "Save Page As...", "Save Page to Pocket", "Select All", etc...). I cannot access any command that directly relates to the underlying image and so I am not able to save it. The website developers assured me that with their own browser (not Firefox, I presume) the "Save Image As..." option is still available, suggesting me to install a different one. I believe the reason of this change in behaviour is because the mouse does not find a direct link to the image any more (as if there was a layer in between running a script to enlarge the image).

My question: is there any other way to access the menu option I need? Why should other browsers be able to "see through" the image and have the standard menu?

Thank you for any suggestion.

Hello,

This is a weird issue that's been plaguing me for years. Only recently have I spotted the common factor.

On two Windows 10 computers, sometimes when I copy/paste a link in Firefox, my keyboard input language switches from Canadian Multilingual Standard to US English. On my desktop, I don't even have US English installed as an input method, yet it still switches to it. I've even made registry changes to specifically remove it, to no avail. Disabling the option to switch languages via keyboard shortcut also makes no difference.

This seems to happen completely randomly. I'll ctrl+c/ctrl+v a link and the language will change. Putting it back to CMD and ctrl+c/ctrl+v again and it won't change. The change only happens when I copy/paste a link from Firefox. Maybe one out of every 15-20 times on the large scale, but sometimes it will happen twice in a row, or not at all for a week.

Does anyone have any insight on this issue, or how I can fix it permanently? It's such a weird issue and it's infrequent enough, but every time it happens it feels like tripping in a full sprint. Very unpleasant.

Currently running 113.0.1 (64-bit), but again, this has been plaguing me for years. I first thought it was a Windows install issue, but it's happening on two different systems. Thanks in advance

Hello,

I started highlighting and adding notes to a pdf in mozilla, but unfortunately, my computer shut down and now I'm left with the blank original version. Is there any way to restore it?

Kind regards

The built-in screenshot feature in Firefox is great in many ways, but for some reason when selecting "Copy" (Copy screenshot to clipboard) instead of "Download", and then pasted into the Apple Mail app the receiver will get a file attachement named "PasteGraphic-1.TIFF".

It would be a lot more practical to have it saved in the PNG format which makes the file smaller and more compatible. I haven't been able to find any option for this though, but is it perhaps hidden somewhere like in "about:config", or is this something the developers can look into?

I want to print 1 page of a pdf document from the web. I want to print 2 pages per sheet. This works when I print the first sheet on the left side, but I can't print 1 page to the right side. There is no 'right to left' option. Does anyone have a work around? (If I use the 'print using system dialog' option, the orientation of the second page is wrong. ie while the left page is correctly printed as an A5 portrait on the left half of my A4 sheet, the right half prints as an A6 sheet rotated 90 deg. The system is ubuntu 20.04.) The documents I'm concerned with are bank statements which I shall not past!! I attach another random example. Left page printed directly from Firefox, right page using system dialog.

Hello, Firefox is refresing/resetting itself to its new downloaded settings/default settings now after every shutdown but before in a couple of days or something. I tried deleting all profiles, i tried uninstalling-reinstalling firefox, tried to delete all folders in the C: drive but nothing is working. From last 5 to 10 days i think, I dont know the update version from where it might have started. (Automatic download) I use windows 11, (113.0.1 version of firefox) I like firefox and i am ready to apply any solution but i dont have one. Please find me one. Thankyou!

Since your last update Firefox window opens too big for my Mac page so I cannot see/access my desktop files or the menu any more. Is there any way to make it smaller again?
