Forum d’assistance Firefox

Currently in Windows 11 running Firefox Version 106.0.5 (64-bit).

About three days ago I noticed that I can no longer paste images from Firefox directly into messaging platforms. Didn't think too much about it, until today when I attempted to copy an image from Firefox into a graphics program (Affinity Designer) and what I got instead of the image was a string with the following text:

"C:\Users\squir\AppData\Local\Temp\1659928653877.webp"

I searched online and found that refreshing Firefox should fix the issue. It did not. Attempted to replicate in Chrome and Edge, was able to successfully copy images from both browsers. Attempted to replicate in other graphics programs: With Corel Painter, Inkscape, and Paint I was able to copy-paste from both Chrome and Edge, but not with Firefox.

Once again, I have refreshed Firefox, checked for updates in both the OS and browser, restarted the computer and the problem still persists.

Would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can fix this issue.

I love how the new tab page clearly states "Never fear losing a closed tab again.", and then when a window disappears it is followed by zero history to recover it. I have not restarted Firefox, let alone my computer since the last time the window was seen (about half an hour ago). It's not in my Alt+Tab tray hiding. I don't even remember closing the tab--though it's possible my keyboard double pressed when I was closing another window. (It's old and has a tendency to double hit keys). But now I have lost a window with at least 20 tabs open--mostly things i had yet to deal with and don't remember the URL to get back to it.

What use is my history and ability to reopen accidentally closed windows if everything just disappears from it within half an hour after the window could've been closed?

I would prefer to keep most of my browsing on Firefox, but I can't constitute that if I'm going to lose months worth of saved tabs randomly.

I can't understand why the Windows menu shows us all the open windows, in no order whatsoever. Not chronological or alphabetical, just random placements, making finding anything a dizzying & time consuming experience, as I have to look up and down each & every time. I don't know of any other browser that gives no option as to how to sort this lis.

MathJax formulas are not displayed correctly in Firefox browser windows, e.g. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=96a0a80d2a&view=lg&permmsgid=msg-f%3A1748952987569305801&ser=1 Windows 10, Firefox 106.0.5 (64 bit) Thanks

Why have the English date format questions been archived without an adequate response? I, too, have Firefox English GB version and my Windows date format settings are dd/mm/yyyy but Firefox still uses the American format. This is not rocket science!! Please sort this out.

Hi there!

I have a pretty frustrating issue with custom search engines. I use custom search engines all the time to look up words on a dictionary website. In cases where I need to look up something that is more than one word, I'm unable to use this feature because Firefox automatically adds '+' to encode spaces to the URL. since the website that I use does not know how to deal with that, I am unable to use this otherwise convenient feature in cases where my searches utilize spaces.

is this behavior adjustable in any way?

Long story short, it's in the title. After the most-recent update, Firefox has been hanging whenever I type, and I'm right in the middle of typing a novel. The CPU usage spikes, according to the Firefox Task Manager, to 300% or MORE just from typing a few words. Even right now, typing this, the screen is sentences behind where I am in my typing. Took an entire minute for the page to catch up. On a single paragraph.

The hanging/lag does not occur when I navigate between pages, stream videos on Youtube or Netflix, or other things which should be about 100x more resource-intensive than typing a few sentences. And yet, that's all that does it.

There are no problems with lag when using Chrome, Discord, or other internet-based programs for typing. There are some issues with my word processor, Open Office Writer, but only when Firefox is open and running too, even though the two don't interact, to my knowledge.

I have followed every step on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding This page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems And this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resources beyond upgrading my computer, because it is absolutely ridiculous to consider doing that given the circumstances. It's only Firefox having the problem, after all.

In addition, I have reinstalled my keyboard driver, turned off cursor highlighting (it wasn't on, but I enabled it and disabled it again, just in case), and removed any delay in repeat keys in the keyboard config. No difference.

Honestly, I don't know that there's a community-based solution for this, but I'm willing to be wrong about that. I just want to make certain someone more official than myself is aware of the problem.

Thanks in advance, -Tyr

Greetings everyone,

I've been using Firefox as my PDF ebook reader on my Windows 10 PC because it Firefox wasn't able to make changes to PDF files. However, it seems that Firefox is now capable of editing PDF files and this has me incredibly worried... :'(

How can I make it so that Firefox isn't able to make changes to PDF ebook files I open?

Thank you for any help!

I'm trying to add a credit card for the "autofill credit cards" feature, but it doesn't seem to work. I fill out the form, and click save, and absolutely nothing happens. I can cancel the form, but of course the data is lost.

Any ideas?

So basically I just did a fresh install of windows on my computer due to performance issues, but before I did it, I made sure to save all of my passwords from firefox in a .csv file, but when I was finally done with reinstalling windows and firefox, there was no option to import my passwords back from the .csv file, and upon further research, you guys disabled the feature to import from .csv files, I just need a way to get my passwords back

Hi, I'm writing this because this problem is very frustrating. Quite frequently my games (e.g. Valorant, Overwatch) will start lagging if I have Firefox open in the background. To fix this, I have to close and reopen Firefox. Sometimes, I would open a tab while gaming and that would also cause the game to lag.

In game, the ping starts at the normal level then rises before falling back down to normal.

Are there any solutions?

Regards Thomas

On or about Nov 3rd, after restarting Firefox (106.0.5 (64-bit)), I cannot get the "Bubblez" game to load. I am a long time Firefox user, but consider myself a Novice in technical terms.

The game is at https://wellgames.com/free_online/bubblez/

Thinking the game server might be down, I tried the Microsoft Edge browser, and the game plays as usual. I have not(to my knowledge) changed any settings or preferences inside Firefox, not added any new addons. I restarted Firefox in SafeMode, and the game still fails to load. It is stuck on the green circle as indicated in the attached screenshot.

Any help will be appreciated.

I have my default yahoo mail font set as Modern - Small, but after I updated Firefox, the font displays as if it were Modern Narrow. It displays correctly in other browsers, but not in Firefox. I tried changing the default font in Yahoo Mail Settings. Other fonts work fine, but when I switch back to Modern - Small, it looks very squished.

When I try to forward a link from a webpage (using Firefox) it automatically sends it from my email address through Thunderbird. I'd like to switch the setting so it uses my Apple Mail email address. Is this possible?
