Firefox Support Forum

I am running FF v110.0 on Windows 10 (64). This version automatically downloaded and installed without my permission (I never allow any software to automatically update) - I found out about this a week or so ago. I've also reset the update settings to what they've always been.

Anyway, since that upgrade I am getting a blue box around whatever control I click on. This occurs on most web sites. I've tried the various suggestions from years ago (troubleshoot mode, about:config 'browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything' and 'browser.display.show_focus_rings' = false). This does not occur on any other browser and didn't occur on Firefox until the latest update.

How do I get rid of this? It is very annoying with several web sites I use daily.

Thanks,

Hello. I am an IT administrator at my company. We deploy Attack Surface Reduction policies in Windows Defender antivirus. We do not deploy Firefox Enterprise and don't plan to, but we also do not block users that want to download it. However, users that do use it report receiving alerts from Defender that some Firefox executables "do not meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria" and get blocked. I installed version 111 on a machine to test, played a bit and then uninstalled it. While I didn't get these during installation or regular browsing, I did receive these errors when uninstalling. I reinstalled and uninstalled again and the same occurred. Could you please investigate and hopefully get them on trusted lists? Thank you.

On my early 2009 iMac, the drop down search engine selections in the tool bar search bar flicker on and off and will only appear stable to be selected a search engine if the Command key is held down.

Please let me know what I can do to make Firefox more functional on my Mac. If I keep having to uninstall and reinstall every few weeks, I'm going to have to use a different browser.

Hi, I've been having problems with my Firefox. After some time (~1 day?) all websocket connections stop working until I restart the browser. In JS console I can see "Firefox can't establish connection to ws://..." (or wss://).

This really affects all pages, for example Discord, Onshape, Jupyter notebook, and 100% gets fixed when FF is restarted.

I'm looking mostly for some debugging tips. So far I've tried increasing `network.websocket.max-connections` from 200 to 500, without any luck. I have also tried to examine some pages for open websockets using developer tools, but didn't find anything suspicious.

I'm running version 110.0.1 built on Gentoo, but this issue has been with me for couple versions already. I have a few extensions, including uBlock origin and leechblock, approximately 100-200 open tabs in 4-5 windows at all times. Restarting firefox every day is not the worst, but I'd definitely prefer to not have to do that

When I go to the ATT.net website and click on the "mail" link in the upper right-hand corner of the webpage in order to go to the site where my email is, Firefox will not go to that site. I have this same issue with Firefox on both my home PC and office PC. So it's not the computer that causes the issue. Other browsers don't have this issue.

Dear Sir/Madam:

For the past year, logging into financial sites (banks, credit unions, etc.) has become more and more challenging. Log ins are taking more time or just fail completely. I often have to close Firefox completely and try again. I have deleted extensions such as Ghostery/Privacy Badger, have accepted site cookies, and have tried new privacy windows. Nothing seems to consistently help. When I use Chrome, I get right in -- but I do not like using Chrome. Help!

Hi, I use the Firefox Developer Edition for Windows Desktop (112.0b4 (64-bit) on daily basis. When I play the Udemy DRM content nothing goes wrong first and the browser loads the page well. But after some time passed I see that Firefox stops to load the page and the tab spinning infinitely. Pressing the realod button doesn't help. The only solution is to restart the browser. I use no-proxy setting. The refreshing of the browser didn't help either. I have configured the following options in the "about:config" but it didn't help as well: network.dns.disableIPv6 : true network.dns.disablePrefetch : true network.http.http3.enabled: false

I have a folder in my Firefox bookmarks toolbar where I keep news site bookmarks. I control dragged it to my desktop which created a .url icon that can't be deleted, renamed, or opened. How do I get rid of it? Win 10 Pro v2H2

I get the error message:

"The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to mail.yahoo.com.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

I tried deleting cookies but still get this error message. Edge is able to access Yahoo mail.

Hi,

I am unable to drag an image that is downloaded onto my desktop. I am using a Mac with the latest version of the Firefox browser. I see a circle with an slash through it when I try dragging an image onto my desktop.

I have never had trouble with Mozilla before, it's been fantastic, but since I downloaded the newest version, 111.0, I am able to download any normal website, but when I try to open one of my streaming services I can log in but Firefox won't load the pages fully and won't load the videos at all.

All sites work perfectly on Chrome and Edge, but I really don't want to use either if I don't have to.

Thanks

Hello Firefox tech support,

I'm emailing to you today about latest Firefox browser version 111.0 that was upgraded over March 17-19 weekend from previous version 110.0 or before. It caused PhotoEphemeris in difficult position on login issues as I could not login successfully.

I tried on different browser named Google, PhotoEphemeris will be able to login.

I may suspect new Firefox version 111.0 is the culprit for PhotoEphemeris login issue. If you roll back to 110 or previous version, PhotoEphemeris will work well including login. The website is www.photoephemeris.com

Thank you, George
