Firefox Support Forum

This the second time I am entering this problem -- the first time Firefox refused to let me return to this site.

First, I am running Firefox on Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is not relevant because the same issue occurs in Windows.

Whenever I access a file, for example, one at https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chioneosoma, its color (which is programmable) changes from a light bluish green to a deeper violet. Where is this color-difference stored? I have thousands of WikiSpecies files I have accessed, and they all show the violet "accessed" color if I ever have opened the file to read its contents. The problem is that when Ubuntu has to be reinstalled, I can add references to all my files, but the color-changes seem to be lost. This is a serious issue, because I currently have over 50,000 files referenced (and saved in my directory file:///home/jwill/Documents/WikiSpecies/Animalia_Plantae_8) and am still adding to them!

I think the storage location must be somewhere in one or more of the following files ('_' replaced '/'):

   _home_jwill_.mozilla
   _home_jwill_.cache_mozilla_firefox 
   _home_jwill_.cache_MM_firefox
   _usr_lib_firefox

Can you please tell me where the list of accessed files is stored? Whenever I enter a referenced directory, to access it, the color changes; so, Firefox must be able to store a reference to each new referenced directory name.

Dear Support:

I have tried all the setting I know of to make Firefox my only browser but I still get Chrome in the search window as the browser. How can I get rid of Chrome? Or at least stop it from being used. Father Ron Weber

Apparently Mozilla disabled FVD speed dial for all users today. My speed dials were my link to business stuff I need.

Can anyone help me restore the dials or somehow transfer them so that I can find them again?

Thanks david

My speed dial disappeared today. I have business logins saved by speed dial so I am a bit desperate. I have restarted both firefox and the computer. I think I was not home when speed dial disappeared. I dont understand computers very well, I have mac OS 11.2.3. I don't know whether firefox was updated without my knowledge today. I have time machine and regular backups.

Hi,

I was wondering if you have ever considered offering perks to loyal members.

I have been with Mozilla since 1998.(dropped Netscaped). Firefox is still my default browser on my phone and PC. I just installed Relay today. Found the $1.00us kind of odd. I believe it costs more to process. Be nice to see that waved for a 23 yr member.

Love you all Michele

When I try to import my data from chrome for autofill it asks me to enter primary password for login but there is no window that opens where I can do so, and I am signed in as well so please explain how to use this feature.

BBc websites have shrunk on my firefox browser.They are unusable since pcs dont have touch screens. Since Chrome is Ok and other sites Ok. I think either the bbc or firefox have changed something to make them incompatable. The BBc weren't paricularly helpful. The chap on the telephone help line told me to go on line (unusable) or contact my computer manufacturer (me). I did not know Chrome was working OK, at the time. I am ok for the moment I will have to use Chrome and not use my desk top links.

Recently upgraded to Windows 11 and using Firefox 94.0.1.

Yesterday for no apparent reason all web pages I tried to connect to returned "Unable to connect". I thought it was my internet connection but when I tried MS Edge it worked?

I have tried a few of the things suggested - Refreshing Firefox and changing the prefetch but no joy.

MS Edge is still working fine. The image shows 3 pages with Problem Loading. Where to next?

I would like to set the browser so that when a Notification comes in, Its window will not close until I click on it. Sometime one shows up, but I do not see/read it before it closes.

I need to know how to stop the menus from opening -and keeping me from working with what I'm on - including bank statements. The subjects on the menus are not unlike those I see on the Firefox pull down menus! I can't explain it - do you know what I'm talking about????? THANKS!

I am using:

• Mozilla Firefox 94.0
• Linux Mint 20.2
• Linux Kernel 5.4.0-90-generic

In Firefox, the issue is with

• Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks
• Tools > Downloads
• History > Show All History

If I have opened Bookmarks then for some reason minimized the window , or clicked somewhere so the Bookmarks window is in the background , and I again click `Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks` , nothing happens . My expectation in the Bookmark Window will come on top.

This is true for Download and History window as well.

If I have opened Bookmarks / Download / History then for some reason minimized the window , or clicked somewhere so the Bookmarks / Download / History window is in the background , and I again click `Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks` or `Tools > Downloads` or `History > Show All History` nothing happens . My expectation in the Menu option I clicked, its Window will come on Top.

Just to be clear I have even tried by clicking `Always on Top` on the Bookmarks / Download / History window.

Why this is not happening?

Yesterday I disabled google pop ups from my Firefox account so I could print from my google email and it worked. However; it is not working today. Must I do this everyday?

Hi,

       I currently run Firefox 94.0.1, I am running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit - Ver 21H1  - OS BUILD 19043.1266

I have 16 GB Ram. Storage is Samsung SSD 465GB & 3 x 1TB hard drives. I use the Microsoft Virus and Firewall apps. I also run Mozilla VPN.

Recently on two separate occasions and via two different methods, email links to two separate Microsoft Forms. Both appear using the link in the emails and look normal?, what ever that may be. after selecting or filling out the forms, you get to the end of the first page and hit the 'NEXT' button. And nothing happens.

I have tried turning off Mozilla VPN, still nothing happens. One form is a Medical survey for my wife's Aerobic class Clients, and was not built by my wife. The other form is from the BACPR (British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation)

I am at a loss as to why these forms fail to work

Any help would gratefully received.

I cant access YouTube from Firefox on Mac book Pro and Mac book Air. I have cleared cache and cookies. I can access YouTube on Chrome on both he computers. Should I stop using Firefox?

I used to be able to visit the Bureau of Meteorology Australian weather radar sites but now I get a message "You will shortly be re-directed to http://www.bom.gov.au". Nothing happens. I've found that another browser allows me to visit those radar sites suggesting those radar sites exist and that there may be a problem in the Firefox system. Seems this may be a known problem.

Tried to use doxy for a video call. Said I needed to refresh to load most updated browser. Once I did that, it says doxy has no access to webcam. I cannot figure out how to change that.

Thanks
