Not sure this is the right category.

But, I've been having problems with Firefox. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times now. At present, it's uninstalled.

What was happening was that it seemed I was getting blocked from moving on to web pages whose link I clicked.

I would then go to Edge or Chrome and the link worked fine.

It was frustrating so I uninstalled again and thought I'd go here to the forum to see if I could get some answers why and how to fix it.

On NY Post when I try to post a comment, it says I need to log in first. But I am already logged in! I log out and log in again, and it still thinks I am not logged in and am prevented from posting.

I can use a different browser with no trouble. What is the Firefox setting on Firefox that does this? How can I correct it?

I use the IRS form filler to pay my taxes...have for years with Firefox browser. This year (for 2024 return) when I sign into the site the 1040 form does not display correctly. the boxes are to the right and below the actual placement. I emailed IRS who said it is a setting in Firefox. I tried the site using Microsoft EDGE and it displays correctly. I have searched for possible solutions and tried them all like using/on and off excelerator, letting Firefox chose size and colors of sites, turned off Noton etc. I posted another question here but no replies or looks so maybe I did something wrong so I will try to post again. I have W10 fully updated and Firefox too up to date. I understand I could use Edge but never had to and prefer to use Firefox as I have before. any suggestions would be appreciated or where I can report a possible issue with Firefox. I have attached a sample. thank You

Ive been told that firefox does not support https://web.minidisc.wiki/ (Web minidic pro) and only google chrome does. I hate google chrome. how difficult would it be for firefox to support usb devices like a minidisc recorder player. I guess its down to drivers or some form of plug in? Could firefox be made to support my minidisc or is it too much of a security/software performance issue? Cheers Mark

Firefox and FancyZones in Windows 11

Chrome seamlessly harmonizes with the PowerToys FancyZones feature in Windows 11. In Chrome, I can drag a tab out of a browser window, and instantly snap it into a FancyZone. I can also quickly arrange multiple separate Chrome windows into FancyZones without issue.

Firefox's interaction with FancyZones is not good. When I drag a tab out of a window, it doesn't allow me to snap it into a FancyZone. I first need to release left click, allowing the tab's new window to appear, then I can snap that window into a FancyZone.

The biggest occurs when I have multiple Firefox windows open and snap one of them into a FancyZone. Often, one of the open Firefox windows will spontaneously shrink itself in size. When I try to manually resize the window back to normal, it shrinks further and further, until it is an invisible sliver. The only solution when this occurs is to fully restart Firefox.

It seems strange that Firefox has such poor compatibility with FancyZones, which is growing in popularity along with other productivity tools in PowerToys. Wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues, if there is any workaround, or if there is a fix being worked on.

My webmail is not loading. https://webmail.everyone.net/#/login It keeps spinning and never loads (so I can see the boxes to put in my u/p).

  • I've deleted the cookies and cache but that doesn't solve the problem.
  • I always keep current with FF updates.
  • The problem is only on my computer. No problem on my husband's computer.
  • No problem in Edge or Chrome.

What next?

I have a display bug when I open INFOMANIAK MAIL on a Firefox page. The page load works, but the page is completely black. I tried to connect via GOOGLE CHROME or EDGE and the page works normally. So I guess the problem is with Firefox. Could you tell me where I can file a bug report? Thanks for your help, and good luck ☺

28Dec2024

I've been using FireFox to login to nytimes.com for many years. Recently, the nytimes.com website hasn't been working properly. It works fine using Edge.

Symptoms are: (1) The zoom level at login and the zoom on going from page to page is very inconsistent. (2) Clicking the Account button does not open the account settings page. Instead it causes the screen background to become grey.

I restarted FireFox in troubleshooting mode, but this did not improve the behavior. I have a single extension (Adblock). Disabling Adblock on nytimes.com also did not improve things.

After one of the updates in March qrz.com is no longer displaying correctly. This was working before. When you lookup callsign W5WLG with Chrome you will see flags of different countries under the bold title W5WLG. This used to work fine on Firefox until about 2 updates ago.

Hi everyone.

This could be related to the corrupted file I had that was solved here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1492585

I mean something else could have been corrupted. I've been getting the following error on a website:

> "The site at [url] has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired. > > "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected."

I thought it was a website issue. But it worked fine in Edge.

I tried the Ctrl+F5 but nothing changed (also tested the website in private browsing in both FF and Edge; still works fine in Edge).

Thanks!

Edit: I launched the factory settings profile from about:profiles (last used years ago when I moved my main profile from an older PC) as a test and the issue persists.
