I must log in to the WiFi network I use. When I start FireFox the first time, it brings up my login page, I click [Accept], and I'm online. After a while on, I get kicked off, and must log in again. (The non-internet, WiFi connection remains active; but I'm neither logged in nor online.) How do I re-initialize the automatic login function ("detectportal"?)?

Closing, and re-starting FireFox again doesn't work; it initially tries to go to my homepage instead... *but it can't*, because I'm not online. I can't go to the login page's displayed URL, for the same reason. I have to actually restart the computer, loosing whatever I'm doing, then start FireFox. Then, and only then, can I get it to go to the network login page so I can login and continue.

Is there a button, "about:thingie", or setting I can use to reinitialize the automatic login page search & display mechanism? Rebooting the whole computer is a xxxx.

My primary machine has (FF 88.0.1 64-bit) has all the FF tweaks for privacy and annoyances I care to have. Last outstanding issue is floating videos -- but that's posted as another topic by me. Big questions:

1. Can I bring FF on the three other laptops and server to the same FF revision level at this machine and copy across all files that would capture settings this machine's settings/changes in Config and Policies ?

I currently make quick work of syncing UBlock and AdBlocker on all machines by simple export/imports of text files. Everything tweaked exactly the same on every machine with respect to FF is what I am after...

Hello. Firefox not allows me to add search engine to search bar only for some sites. For example: I can add search on YouTube, and it's show me green "+" on search bar. But I need to add this site: allegro.pl and the "+" button is unavailable. I remember I added it to search few versions ago (probably it was FF 78 ESR), but I don't remember how I do it. And I accidentally delete it from search engines. Could anyone help me with add it again? Regards.

I don't want to add another device in sync to transfer all of my bookmarks to the latest version of firefox. I just want to use it on my PC.

How can I transfer all of my bookmarks to explorer or chrome?????

Last time I updated Firefox all menus and settings were lost. How can I avoid that? Yes, I know the answer is "that shouldn't happen" but it did and took my software engineer husband an hour to figure out how to get them back. Would like to skip that step. It's been more than a year since I updated but I'm now getting error messages saying my browser is out of date and website cannot be used without an update. Help!

I live with Firefix always in full screen. I Don't like seeing any bars or buttons of any kind.

Befor the latest update, when I moved my mouse to the top of the screen my tabs popped down and in the top right corner was the standard icons for "minimize" "maximize" and "exit".

With the latest update the tabs are there but the 3 buttons have gone.

If I exit full screen (F11) then they are there again, but I dont want to have to exit full screen every time I change between programes which I do every few mins. I'd be popping pages in and out of full screen every few mins!

How do I get the buttons back all the time?

Firefox continues to crash after every session ending when I close it out. I have an old computer with not a bunch of memory, but would that affect the closing of a session, and if so, why? I have the option selected to clear history when Firefox closes, as I don't want to have to try and remember to do this manually everytime I close a session. What is checked are all of the "History" options; the "Data" options are left alone.

Anyway, crash reports:

bp-6a558009-aeed-4b81-8aee-8bf560211210 bp-e946da15-471d-4f6c-8bf9-247540211210 bp-39505be6-9c4e-4e4c-a4e0-f8c930211210 bp-085e9350-9fe1-4386-a10e-1d06b0211210 bp-c4307805-87d8-4869-9c69-46d060211210 bp-fa9c9f16-08ab-442f-be8a-a92230211210 bp-f9e38252-824d-4900-bcf8-b5e1d0211210 bp-6fb377b3-f867-4924-ad07-1f2c30211210 bp-1ed78b16-8c33-4011-9749-2c4700211210

Not a huge issue for me, of course, but if I can stop the crashing, that would definitely be an aesthetic improvement.

I have an account on usps.com (the post office). Using FireFox, I am unable to see or use my address book on that site. USPS tech support says it's there and also says FireFox is the most problematic web browser of all. USPS tech support says to use ANYTHING but Firefox.

Yes, I have cleared my cache and cookies multiple times in an effort to solve the problem. And doing so does not solve the problem.

I can use IE or Chrome to access USPS.com and I can see my address book!

What the heck, Mozilla?

Hello My PC keeps crashing when I use the latest Firefox version. I did it a few months ago but I forgot the steps how to revert the version back to a compatible version for Windows 7 home premium. I forgot to turn off auto-updates, so now I am having a problem with crashing again.

Please help! Thanks Yvonne

I called the help number for the MyIDCare website, and they told me to download Chrome and log in to the website using Chrome. Using Chrome I could log into the website, but not using Firefox. Is this a problem with Firefox or with the website? Is this just something I have to live with, meaning I have to use Chrome whenever I want to log in to this website? Thanks. The actual Firefox message follows:

"Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to opm.myidcare.com.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

The last update changed all my drop down menus to a dark color. I can't even see the line separators in my bookmarks. My Firefox page is also dark and ugly. Right now, when at work, I have to use another browser because I can't do my work with these dark drop down menus, the text is unreadable. Why did you guys do this? FYI: My PC uses Windows 7

Please describe the exact menu steps required to gain access to Firefox browser 95 Autofill editing. The most recent help topic I saw on this was for browser 88.

Hi Team,

When i try to open Firefox application are very slow or some time its show page cannot open error message and some of the application its not open only, its very slow its not supporting may times.

Firefox is constantly removing safe extensions, re-approving them, then removing them again a couple days later. This is very frustrating, and is enough to make me permanently switch to Google Chrome, since they don't do this, and since I have to use that browser when Firefox messes with these extensions. I have been a stalwart Firefox user for years, but Firefox is pushing people like me away with this ridiculous behavior.

The best example is LastPass. Chrome seems to think it's perfectly safe, as it is not removing it. I use it and need it to be available for sites I need passwords for.

Unfortunately, however, Firefox regularly removes this essential extension and others, then, as I say, allows it again a day or two later, then removes it again.

Please, Firefox, figure this out! Otherwise, you're going to lose a lot of users and get a very bad reputation.

No Problem yesterday I downloaded firefox browser and thought I lost my passwords I did not realize that my password manager was not saving my recent ones but I wrote everything down So everything is fine

I'm using the vinyl theme by baliclem and would like to report an issue. my monitor settings are 4K x 2K 3840 x 2160. The vinyl theme doesn't apply the theme color to the top left corner of my firefox browser. The back arrow button still functions but is almost invisible. I'm assuming the theme isn't designed to stretch across the entire browser frame. I've corrected the issue by reducing my monitor dimensions. Is there another way to stretch the theme so the toolbar color is consistent across the top of my browser window?

Seburo posted an answer to your question "vinyl theme by baliclem" Hi

This is something that you should report directly to the independent artist of that theme directly through the add-ons site you downloaded it from.

From what you are saying, the image file has not been made large enough for wider screens.

great response. I downloaded the theme via Firefox since it was offered on the Firefox theme page. How do I contact a firefox theme developer? The theme in question is "vinyl" by Baliclem.

Hi there.

I am looking to disable the following hidden extensions on Firefox 95 64bit.

Amazon.com.au Bing Chambers(UK) eBay

When i go to the addons / extensions setting in firefox these are not showing up, yet when i use CCleaner they are there. When i disable them using CCleaner they enable themselves immediately.

Any assistance with this would be great,

Many thanks,
