Forum d’assistance Firefox

Every Firefox update causes the need to confirm my identity thru an email or phone text to many of my bookmarked and frequently visited sites. Very annoying & time consuming.

Anything I can do or set to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,

Still at a loss that since the FF 112 update, I have not been able to use mouse over (hover) and highlight a Biblical scripture in the program "Instaverse". So far, the problem has not been solved. I have used this browser and Instaverse in preparing sermons for years and it worked perfectly with the FF Browser and Microsoft Word (still works perfectly with Word). I use the desktop version of Windows 10 and discovered that in order to get Instaverse to work with FF, I have to use the 32 bit version. It did not work this time. My question is "Why?"

Tried this on a live site with a large image of name like something-welding-something.png

<IfModule mod_headers.c>

   <FilesMatch "welding">
       Header set Cache-Control "max-age=30, public"
   </FilesMatch>

</IfModule>

How do I prove it works? What am I doing wrong?

In Firefox enter yourdomainurl into the url box. Display webpage.

Open Firefox dev window go to network tab and filter by welding

On webpage hit <Ctrl-F5> network traffic shows image fetched from server.

Open another browser tab and look at about:cache?storage=disk Find the image and the expiry time is 30s past last modified time.

On webpage hit <Ctrl-R> network traffic shows cached. On webpage hit <Ctrl-R> nothing appears in network traffic!! On webpage hit <Ctrl-R> nothing appears in network traffic!! Wait, hit <Ctrl-R> again still But on the about:cache page the Last Modified time is now after the Expires time!

Enter some other domain (e.g. bbc.co.uk) into the url box instead of yourdomainurl.

Wait 30 seconds and then re-enter yourdomainurl (do not use back button). Network traffic for image shows cached. The expiry time now shows No expiration time.

I am using Firefox version 112.02 with Windows 10 and am being told by some websites that my browser is out-of-date and that I cannot continue. Then today I was purchasing tickets for a show and the checkout was blocked by another message which said "Firefox Can’t Open This Page. To protect your security, **********.co.uk will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Please advise how these measures can be removed or disabled as they are a perfect nuisance.

Sir, I re-flashed windows on my laptop about 14 days ago. When I install Firefox the mail password in sync shows wrong. Then when I add a new password to the Forgot Password again, I lose my previous bookmarks. Where I had many important credentials. Please help me by returning them. Thank You.

Twitter won't load in firefox latest version under windows 10. Connection problem, twitter running fine on android and windows chrome. So twitter is running fine just not on firefox windows 10.

When I use Firefox to open google maps, it shows my location at least 30 kms from my actual location, which means all the local information is wrong and I have to scroll and reset. I am sure it didn't use to be like this. I have tried everything I can think of or find to tell Google maps that I am in Ellesmere Port not Bebington but to no avail. Given that these days I would think computer information could almost tell me what room of the house my PC was in I am baffled why it can't even get the right town. What's going on?

Searching for Tickers you keep on getting the sandclock (it stalls) and loading charts crashes the site. Has been like this for ages. Please accept the challenge to make it work equally in Firefox as it does in Edge/Chrome.

When I go to my site www.unitedcomputerconsultants.com the navigation menu loads, but the text links do not appear for 60 seconds. Although they seem to be OK in Windows machines. I am using an Apple Mac Pro Can you please help

Several login pages don't load correctly, completely or at all since the last update. Binance homepage doesn't load the login menu (see attachment), direct url page just shows white screen. I also had some issues with logins on my health insurance site, downloading pdf's, everything just being incredibly slow, pages getting stuck, no loading icons. I cleared my cache and cookies, and it seems the problems got worse. I'm running a VPN, turning it off didn't fix these problems. Everything works fine in Brave. I tried troubleshooting mode, but once that was started up I didn't know what to do.

Long term issue of losing pinned tabs because I break a tab off the main firefox instance to work on it in a seperate window and then at some stage I close the firefox window that contains the pinned tabs AND AFTER I close the breakout tab and this seems to remember that no pinned tabs ever existed. This behaviour is idiotic and clearly buggy, certainly shouldn't be a feature or normal behaviour.

The pinned tabs feature is advertised as placing permanently some tabs that open for sure at every launch of firefox in a known location to the left - things we use just about everyday (gmail, iCloud, reddit etc), hence their permanence and it seems to be impossible to code something that if NO firefox window is opened then when we launch Firefox we get the default view of our pinned tabs and a fresh page OR default homepage etc.

Seems ridiculous to me. Whats the logic here ? I vote FOR making this a permanent feature.

Firefox used to open maximised but now opens in a half size window. I recently had an issue, following a Firefox update, of Google maps controls in the lower right corner missing. Also I could not toggle between map views. After advice from the forum I changed the "privacy.resistFingerprinting from 'false' to 'true'. This solved the Google maps problem but seems to have introduced the issue of Firefox opening in a 'half size' window. Any thoughts on what to do next, or do I live with it? Thanks - Chris

I do not have any sound and all taps are unmuted. I have sound when using Google Chrome, Edge and when playing a video with VLC. I have tried to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but still no sound.

Kindly help.

Since the last update, my mouse is sticking for a second, from time to time. Whatever you did in that last update, I'm unable to use firefox. I have had to switch to google chrome until you fix whatever it is you broke.
