Firefox Support Forum

We are distributor of Firefox extension for dragon professional. ( We are self distrubutor of the extension.)

It’s ID is dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com

Now we have done some modification to the same extension, while publishing it shows error as “Duplicate add-on ID found.”

Earlier we have used same ID for the Firefox extension in the year 2018.

Currently we have opened new account with same ID “dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com” and faced the mentioned issue.

We are expected to publish our extension with the same extension id as we don’t want our existing customers get affected.

Is there any way with which extension id “dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com” can be deleted from backend , so that we can reuse it.

I have just completed a new computer with new Windows 11 and fresh dowhload of Firefox and was very dissappointed to find that the Firefox font sizes on the menu and toolbars were very difficult to read because of their small size. Most of the available settings in Windows and firefox to increase the font size resulted in making the web pages and fonts bigger as well. Looking through the the Firefox help pages this seems to be a common problem that lacks a satisfactory solution - untill now.

I solved the problem by going into about:config and making the following changes: 1. Make sure that Browser.Display.OS-zoom-behaviour is set to 1 2. Set Layout.css.devPixelsperPx to 1.3 ( or between 1.1 to 1.5 to suit) 3. Set ui.textScaleFactor to 75 ( or between 75 to 100 to suit, decrease this number as you increase previous)

This solved the problem for me and I'm posting in the hope others may find this usefull.

I can't log into my xfinity account. I get the following: Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to oauth.xfinity.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Keep getting this on a number of websites. Most of them I have used for years. Can't give the websites as there are too many but some are pitchsidemanager.com, hattrick.org, skysports.com and sportinglife.com . Just four of at least 14 give the Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site message. I use No Proxy and have my anti-virus turned off when I get the message. I have tried various other proxy settings but the same thing happens. The thing is that I have to keep refreshing the page until it does actually connect and that can take a good few minutes. Sometimes I have to restart the browser. Why is this happening since the last few updates?

How can I recover the history that has been deleted from firefox? Already there is an article from 2020 which says to find index.dat file but there is no .dat file that i can find. I am looking for the file in the following location: AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\83ctti6r.default-release\cache2 and that location is the only one with a file named index but it is without .dat extension. If that is supposed to be the file that I am to use then which .dat file reader do I use to open it and recover the history.

I am unable to log into Google Drive using Firefox (W11) Google wants me to uninstall and reinstall FF

There's quite a few help articles that leave me with a queasy feeling. I have saved passwords, extensions and a huge number of bookmarks. I don't want to lose anything (partly because I don't think this will solve the problem)

I'd appreciate a step-by-step on how to FULLY backup prior to uninstall/reinstall. Also, if there is anything special about how to unintall other than using the Windows uninstall. And, if there's something I'm going to have to do to get my passwords, extensions and bookmarks back.

As of the past few days the OneNote Web Clipper Extension has stopped working in Firefox. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? I've tried refreshing FF and reinstalling the extension but the problem persists.

Firefox can sync anything except logins and passwords between different devices. I have selected "Logins and passwords" at "settings-Sync-You are syncing these items across all your connected devices", but it still dosen't work.

Hello! So the problem I'm having is every so often after ten minutes of Firefox working perfectly it will stop working. For example, it won't load any new pages it'll just be stuck pinging back and forth. The website will stop loading YouTube and Twitch will show network errors etc. And it's NOT MY NETWORK or router.

I'm hooked up threw an ethernet cable but my CPU and ethernet ( I just got a new ethernet cable CAT 8 because I thought it was my cable but it still doesn't work) only spikes when using Firefox it's like Firefox stops sending and receiving. Yet other browsers like Chrome work PERFECTLY. But I would prefer using Firefox since all my bookmarks and things are saved here.

I've tried clearing my cookies etc. I'm going to try redownloading Firefox but if there is anything else I could do please let me know. I have some images attached one of the balls just loading and I'll be waiting forever until I restart Firefox. The other is of a media player that says I have a network error but I only get this error on Firefox.

Thank You

I am using Arlo security cameras which store the video captures as MP4 files. The Arlo app has video playback feature that works in Chrome or Edge but does not work in FireFox. From what I have been abe to glean from searches, Arlo uses HEVC Codec that FireFox either isn't compatible with or is lacking the codec. Any suggestions?

Youtube, sometimes, loads for ~5-10 seconds on average for no reason, doesn't load the video or audio at all. Extremely frustrating when I'm just browsing, it may not seem like a long amount of time but I shouldn't have these issues to begin with. Cleared cache, no addons are out of date or tamper with Youtube. Tried every fix I could find on the matter, nothing seems to have worked. Issue persists. I had similar issues with Kaspersky AV installed, so I had just uninstalled it. Prior to this newest firefox update, I have had no issues at all.

My Firefox browser automatically updated a few days ago. Since the update, the browser now crashes repeatedly during basic browsing, making Firefox essentially unusable. For instance, retrieving Yahoo mail, reading articles, accessing login pages -- the page will enter some type of refresh/reload cycle and crash the browser.

I opened the browser in troubleshoot mode and the problem did not occur. Following the Mozilla instructions, I disabled extensions and reopened the browser normally, and the crashes continued. I have not taken any additional actions.

This problem began immediately after the latest browser update on 9/13.

Hi,

I live in the US, and don't use a VPN. I noticed my firefox is defaulting to sending DNS over HTTPS requests to the default Canadian DNS over HTTPS, rather than the US provider. How can I change my firefox settings to not think I'm Canadian?

Thanks.

Hello. I cannot remove the suggestions that appear in the drop down address bar suggestions list. Shift-delete does not work. Changing the search settings in tools does not work. There is no three dots that appear next to the URL, or a pop up that shows up if I hover over the link. They are stubbornly embedded on that bar and refuse to leave.

The only thing that works is to delete all history, but I don't want to do that. There may be some solution where I micromanage site permissions on a site by site basis but that's way too much work, and should not have to do that.

The URLs on the list themselves are totally random. I cannot figure out how Firefox decided that THESE are the URLs to feature. I visited like once, in a long string of activity.

Anyway, my inability to perform a simple task like right-click-delete or demand that it "stop doing that" is making me claustrophobic.

Hi Team

I have saved password in FF but unfortunately I have removed the saved password from one device .But it has removed from all my devices . Is there any chance to restore the data for me .

Firefox has been very slow loading all web pages for many months. At first I thought it was my ISP until I tried different browsers, Chrome, Brave and Edge are very fast loading web pages, so it's just Firefox. Firefox loads slow too, other browsers load fast.

I saved my bookmarks then completely un-installed Firefox. I searched for and deleted all folders named Firefox and Mozilla. I re-installed Firefox but did not import my bookmarks or add any extensions or themes and Firefox is still extremely slow.

I also tried DISM and SFC on Windows 11 but no problems were found.

I've been using Firefox since NetScape closed and I am very familiar with Firefox.

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hello all

When I try to access screwfix.com from the uk, their address appears in the the tab but I get a blank screen instead of the homepage.

The same thing happens when accessing from a favourite (displayed on the FF opening page) or a listing from a search engine.

The website works as normal in SeaMonkey. I have restored the profile folder from a back up. I've turned off enhaced tracking protection for the site.

Any further suggestions please? TIA Dave
