Hi. It's hard to see where to enter text on some sites. How do I make text entry boxes easier to identify please?

For example, I had to look hard to figure out that there's a text entry box on the following page around the words Share an Update...

https://community.morningstar.com/s/profile/0053o00000A9t7k

When attempting to log-in to a website (Credit Karma) I have previously visited many times with FireFox, I was presented with something new - something I eventually have come to believe is the Canvas Permission Prompt, as described here:

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting

Not knowing what the prompt wanted from me, I foolishly clicked on the "Don't Allow" button feeling that was the safest thing to do, but realized only as I was clicking the button that the "Always remember my decision" checkbox was default-checked. And as I feared, now whenever I go to the site login page, I am unable to click into the User Name or Password boxes to fill-in my info and nor can I click on the "Log In" button. All other links on the page still seem to work, though.

I have attempted these possible fixes in the about:config list: 1. privacy.resistFingerprinting - I had previously set this to True as per suggestions from several YouTube posters expounding their opinions on safety and security and have been operating with this setting for many months. I tried setting it back to its default False state and restarting FireFox, but the problem still persists. 2. privacy.resistFingerprinting.autoDeclineNoUserInputCanvasPrompts and

   privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomDataOnCanvasExtract - These two looked interesting because of the "Canvas" text and I found them to be set to their default True values since the installation of FireFox.  I have individually set them each to False followed by a FireFox restart, but still the problem persists.

So how do I get the Canvas Permission Prompt to be reset/restored so I can use the login page to get to my account.

Thx

Several years I logged into an extended family member's computer, accidentally sync from another browser and now this folder has been following me around. The thing is it's full of some really gross things. Mostly extreme right opinion pieces and just so much porn. I really want this folder to go away, but when I right click it the delete option is grayed out. I've tried deleting them one by one, but everything I close the window and reopen it again, all of the links are back. How do I purge this from my mozilla account?

Before I refreshed Firefox, I always had a blank Yahoo! search bar at the top of any page. It was very useful but it's gone and I don't know how to get it back. Can someone help me with this?

I have a file that appeared on my desktop that cannot be deleted. The file name looks like the first couple of book marks on my Firefox browser:

Octoprint https __www.foxnews.com_ Fox News https __www.amazon.com_ Amazon https __www.logos.com_ Logos https __www.youtube.com_ YouTube https __www.udemy.com_ Udemy https __www.tinkercad.com_dashboard Tinkercad https __app.mondly.com_home Mondly http

I have tried several times to delete the file but it cannot be deleted.

I'm having problems with message board posts, and they said the problem was browser related rather than on their end. And I don't really have the vocabulary to look up a solution, so I'm asking here.

When I'm writing a post in a text box-- and I don't know if it's supposed to be called a text box, but it's shorter than "that box at the bottom of the thread where you type your post and then hit enter"-- if I go to a different page, when I come back, the text box is (inconsistently) blank. Everything I was writing is gone.

This was not the case up until a few days ago. If I needed to, say, post links to a bunch of threads, I could go to each thread in turn, copy the URL, and then back-arrow to the page with the post-in-progress and everything would be there waiting for me. I could be fifteen pages out from where I started, but as long as I used the back-arrow, it would be fine.

Like I said, I made a bug report on the message board itself and they told me "That's not a function of site, it's a function of your browser. If it's changed, it's because your browser has updated (or an extension is interfering)". I also talked to a friend to try to narrow down the problem and he came up with "it's probably a cache issue".

So where do I go from here to try to fix things?

When I try to login into the mozilla addons using my firefox account it showing me the 2 factor authentication setup when I click the cancel button It suddenly takes me to the previous and when I try to create 2 factor authentication setup and I also Installed the authenticator app in the my android mobile which was google authenticator and I scan the QR code it gives me a code but when I try to enter the code it throws me an error it was an invalid code but I enter the correct code each time it stills shows me the same error please help me to login meinto the mozilla addons I need to update my addons ASAP.

When i open certain websites, the font is displayed cryptically (see picture).It doesn't always affect the whole website, just some texts on the side. I found a workaround by disallowing websites from using their own fonts in the settings. But neither a new installation of firefox nor resetting the settings, caches an cookies, etc. helped, or disabbeling the firewall etc.. In other browsers or when i log in my account on other PC´s everything is displayed properly.

I have a windows 10 desktop. I use several different browsers including Firefox. When online and searching for a site, I choose only https//: sites. However, I am getting an unsecure warning when I click on them. It opens the sites in private mode so why do they not open in regular search mode? Also sometimes when I am in a https//: site I trust & have been to before, the links receive an unsecure warning too. How do I fix this?

In the past, when I click on the "history" tab I have several options for viewing my history, including the ability to view all my browsing history for as long as I've been using Firefox. Today I went to search for a download and discovered my settings have changed so that the only options now available to me are "Today," "Yesterday," and "Last Seven Days."

I don't know what happened to change my settings, though I did notice last week that I had to re-enter my passwords on several sites that I regularly visit.

How to I change the settings on History so that I have the option to view my entire browsing history again?

HI, I had a PC crash and I am now unable to use my old Installation, so I reinstalled Windows anew. Before that I could save some stuff.

I have saved the whole Firefox Profile Folder and the Installation.

Now I just copied the Key3 and Key4 + logins.json Files to my new Profile Folder (places, booksmarks, etc too) but nothing will be applied.

What do I have to do to get my old stuff back? Especially my Login Data and Bookmarks? Why does this not work anymore? Is it due to different Versions? Although I am pretty sure that my old FF was up to date. Is there a Log File?

Also I have an old logins.csv, but it has corrupt/incorrect symbols in it.

When I go to certain web sites, (Xfinity, Blue Cross Blue Shield), a message pops up saying, "This page is slowing down Fire Fox. To speed up your browser, stop this page". When I go into Safe Mode, I can get to those sites. How can I get rid of this message/problem? Fire Fox has current update as does my Mac.

For the past three days I have been disappointed to find the error message, illustrated in the screenshot, when I open Hotmail/Outlook/Login live. It says:

Something went wrong. Please try the recommended actions below. Refresh the application. (in a button)

I've followed its advice, to no effect. I've re-booted and turned everything off overnight (twice) but it's still not working. This only happens on Mozilla Firefox, my preferred browser. I have done nothing to alter any settings or opened, or even received, any dubious emails. All the other saved sites and randomly visited ones are functioning as normal.

Any idea why this suddenly started happening? is it a Firefox issue or a Hotmail problem?

I am getting this in the settings and am unable to modify parts of firefox like add extensions for last pass and display of bookmarks. This came after an update. This makes firefox useless to me. I have removed and reinstalled firefox twice, once without using any info from the previous install. I have looked for the distribution file, but can't find it. Any suggestions before I just remove it permanently from all devices I use. My organization is me!

Hi, I just updated to the latest version of Firefox (auto), suddenly now, when I right click and quit upon closing, another icon appears, quitting again, another appears. I remove from doc, but same thing happens again upon quitting. Any help with this greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

I want to be able to type accented characters while I'm using a mail tool in Firefox. I searched and found the Office/Word method, but that doesn't work in FF. When I searched this site for "type accent," nothing was found.

I don't need a special language pack, I'm still typing in English. I just want a way to insert an accented character now and then.
