Firefox Community Forum

I am using Firefox on a LLinux Mint 22.3 - MATE 64-bit operating system.

Recently, I went to www.homedepot.com. The page did not fully load. It just kept trying to load the page. I waited for a few minutes and tried to do a search for an item I wanted. I got a message that indicated: "OOPs! some went wrong. Try refreshing the page."

I tried refreshing the page. I got the same situation. The page would only partially load and each time I did a search, I got the same "Opps!" message.

So, I went into setup and deleted my cache. This did not help. I also uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. That still did not help.

I started up Google Chrome. I went to the site and it worked just fine. So there is something wrong with Firefox.

A couple days ago when I opened Firefox, I immediately started getting pop up messages saying I had viruses. If I clicked on REMOVE VIRUS, it tried to get me to sign up with McAfee. I cannot see my full screen due to all the pop up screens. My MS Defender virus protection is not identifying any viruses.

After an update for Firefox Developer Edition on Arch Linux (I don't know which), my URL bar doesn't show the selected text when typing or pressing Ctrl+A.

In the uploaded image, you can see i typed "e", but it doesn't highlight the entire en.wikipedia.org url. the second result still shows the e's in the URL bolded though.

I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, changing my GTK theme, and also changed my Firefox Theme, yet none work.

I love having the VPN Add-on on my Windows 11 laptop and now I see that there's a plug in for my Android Tablet, too.

I see there's options to turn OFF the VPN, but i don't need it on all the time. To save the data limit, I keep the VPN turned off.

There are some sites that I log into that require me to either not be from Australia amd some I need to be VPN linked to specific countries, like the UK or USA.

Will there be a place to be able to list particular websites to turn the VPN ON for, and, where needed, specify a country to connect to?

When viewing a PDF in Firefox the URL bar indicates the file was downloaded to a temporary folder. If I then select "Save" from the PDF toolbar; or if I right click and select "Save page as" it opens a save dialog to the location I previously saved the same category of PDF to. For example I have separate folders for invoices, if the PDF is my electricity invoice it somehow knows and opens the electricity folder. If it is a water invoice, it automatically opens the water folder.

Whilst this is indeed quite handy, I do not understand how Firefox is doing this; nor do I understand whether this may be a privacy risk in some circumstances and should therefore be configurable.

Hi.

I'm using Firefox 153.0 on Fedora 44 with GNOME 50. Everything is up to date at this date. I know that Firefox is supposed to support fractional scaling on Wayland since version 146.0. However, it does not work on my device.

As you can see, the first screenshot is when Firefox is in fullscreen mode. Fractional scaling seems to work and the text and picture are very sharp. However, when I resize the window, it looks like Firefox does not support fractional scaling (see my second attached screenshot). The text is blurry and not as sharp as when the window is in fullscreen mode.

Hi all,

Sometimes Firefox just closes a couple dozens tabs - I keep around 200 or 300 open - without my request or confirmation. It's not frequent, but quite annoying. Clicking History > Recently closed tabs > Reopen all tabs does not restore all. I don't know where I can find references for the lost tabs or Firefox logs where I could check what happened. My only suspicion is that I inadvertently rest my hand or finger somewhere in my notebook's trackpad, and somehow Firefox understand that as a request to close several tabs at once, but I have no clue if that makes any sense. I didn't test in Safe Mode because this happens too unfrequently for me to tell if Safe Mode avoids the problem.

Could you pls help me finding the reason for that? Does Firefox keep any kind of log I can check? Are there any keboard shortcuts or mouse/trackpad action that can be set up to do this?

Firefox version: 153.0.1 Distro: Linux Mint Version: 21.3 (Virginia) (Based on Ubuntu 22.04 - Jammy) Kernel: 5.15.0-186-generic

Thanks!

When I frequently turn off my computer using the system unit's power button, meaning a quick shutdown, after several such shutdowns, when I launch the browser, I'm prompted to log in again. Bookmarks that weren't synced disappear. And I'm also logged out of all the websites I was logged into, forcing me to log in again. Cachyos Linux.

So i have bookmarks i don't need anymore and when i click on the ones i want to delete i cant remove it... and so I googled how to remove it and this showed up and you delete everything maybe? Cause i need to bookmark stuff i need to see and use just help me please I'm begging you please.
