Forum d’assistance Firefox

I have Firefox open. When I click on a link in Thunderbird instead of opening the page in the open Firefox window, it opens a second Firefox window? This just started happening and I don't know what I might have done to cause it. Using Windows 8.1.

I recently had to reinstall firefox due to a few issues. Before the reinstall, when I opened a new tab it would open as my home page. After I reinstalled it, I was able to set up my homepage URL but there is no option for new tabs to open wth the same page. The only options for new tabs are blank page or the default firefox homepage. This was never an issue before the reinstall.

How do I fix this? Has the option been moved somewhere else?

Firefox blocks out some posts with an 'OBJ' box as follows: Eagle lady (Jean Keene) sign from the Homer spit. This is one of my favorite signs in my collection. I’m pretty sure that she was the only person ever to be allowed to feed eagles and probably the last. She started feeding them in the 70s for about 20 years until she passed away. She was a tough, unique woman. She started off as a rodeo daredevil in the 50’s and worked for the Red River Rodeo as a trick rider.  Jean worked with many celebrities, including the likes of Gene Autry also known as the “singing cowboy.” She eventually had to retire from the rodeo, because she got hurt on a horse. She drove semi trucks and opened a dog and cat grooming business before eventually moving to Homer Alaska.

        If anybody else has any peninsula signs from the past, and would like to share please do so, we would love to see them.

WHY? WHY? WHY?

When I login into some WEB site it goes in to an endless loop continues? It used to work before you forced the download of version of 0esr, when the old none 0esr worked fine. As a example: I am trying to login to xcelenergy.com site and it keeps flipping back and forth with these two lines ( parts of lines deleted because you might get into my account )in the address bar -

1. - https://my.xcelenergy.com/MyAccount/MyAccount_Proxy?context=us1_tk1...............parts deleted.........................client_id=JnU2RjC15thihnMDrOyzKzvH&mode=login&scope=openid+profile+email+salesforceInfo&gig_skipConsent=true

2. - https://my.xcelenergy.com/MyAcco...........................parts deleted......................._MA_Template

I have included the 2 of screen captures that it flip's through of maybe a another 2 screens (can not tell, it flips through to fast).

  The site I am login into:          my.xcelenergy.com
 Firefox version using now:      115.6.0esr (64-bit) or the 32bit Version, I tried both. Then load an old back version it works fine but then it gets upgrade to the new version again.
  my version of windows:         8.1, with all Firefox ad blockers and other ad blockers turned off or on does not matter. 
      The reason I will not upgrade my software is that I would have to buy a lot of new software upgrades that I use, and can  

not afford at this time on my retirement.

Is there anyway to roll version 115.3 back? It's destroyed my ability to access almost anything on the internet (like my Yahoo mail, the Apple Store, transfer files w/my iPhone and other common tasks. ~ Not happy in San Diego

I searched for an official portable version of firefox and one of the first results was this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1247235 anyways this seems dissapointing since he says we should only download from official sources and at the same time there is no official portable version, can i be honest.. this sucks. You know time passed since that thread was created (3 years...) but still no offfical version, why?

So it seems to most known source for firefox portable is this site: https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable I know you don't represent this website but still i have to ask how secure is it?

Also, how are chances mozilla will work on a portable official version? any plans?

For 8 months i am still getting tab crashed messages whenever i try to pause then replay videos. I have sent crash reports and shown them on the help page and get no real answers.

Back in 2019 I learned how to set Firefox so that a website opening a new window would always include standard menus (the website could not suppress them). Now I get windows without the menus and controls I need.

I used some combination of 

dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar

   and

dom.event.contextmenu.enabled

These haven't done the job for over a year now.

How do I do this now?

Thanks in advance, Lawrence

p.s. I note that I run Windows 8.1 (up-to-date), but have a Windows 10 I could use if it would work better there (up-to-date).

Noodling around about:config I discovered that the boolean value browser.sessionstore.enabled does not exist.

Interestingly though, it's numerical partner browser.sessionstore.interval does exist and was set to 15000. (15000 miliseconds = 15 seconds)

I was planning to increase this interval significantly. However...

It is my understanding that browser.sessionstore.enabled must be set to true for browser.sessionstore.interval to have any effect.

So what gives? Why is there a browser.sessionstore.interval set to 15000 when the prerequisite browser.sessionstore.enabled does not even exist?

A friend used my PC and now whenever I have to fill in a form with my details their name always shows up above mine as a possible autofill option. How do I stop this?

Any fix for this bug? The basic function of the web browser is to load a webpage and Firefox is failing that. This happens several times a day. This also happens in Troubleshooting mode so no add-ons are responsible. The Webroot anti-virus and Malwarebytes have Firefox.exe allowed.

I click on a link and the webpage never loads. I copy the web address and paste it into a new tab and it loads. I do not have this issue with Chrome or Vivaldi. I currently have Firefox version 106.0 and use Windows

Posted a question, received email reply, but doesn't appear to be any way to access forum posts directly. Support area is very poorly organized, mostly just links to boilerplate articles. I've been doing support for SMF over 10 years and seen some bad installs, but nothing as awful as this.

What have you people done????????????? I upgraded to this 106.0.1 and you have DISABLED MY ABILITY TO RUN BATCH FILES ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU F'ING SERIOUS???????

MY WHOLE DAY IS SPENT RUNNING BATCH FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY WHY WHY WHY DO I CONTINUE TO USE FIREFOX WHYWHY WHY WHY

I have a new HP Pavilion 24 AiO PC. I want to transfer all of my browser settings, most visited sites and history from my old PC to this new PC within Firefox. Can I just Copy/Paste these settings from my old PC to the new one?

A couple weeks ago Youtube videos stopped working on my PC. It keeps spinning and tells me to try restarting my device which does not help. Have tried several suggestions I've found, like clearing cache and cookies and history, disabling extensions, but not uninstalling and reinstalling because Youtube plays fine in Edge and also plays in Firefox on the other user on my PC. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

I've been a Firefox user for years. A few days ago I got a pop-up message box that read: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window. [Close Firefox] [Cancel]"

However, no matter how many times I click the "Close Firefox" button, the message box keeps coming back up and will not let me around it. I'd delete the program and install again, but my current Firefox has info in the Bookmarks I'd like to keep.

Any way to close the pop-up window and allow me back to the Firefox home page?

Thanks! Michael
