Forum d’assistance Firefox

In trying to reach at least one Web site (maybe more), https://jabberwocking.com/, I get an error page, Error 523: Origin is unreachable. It also has some tech stuff I don't understand. What can I do?

Hi: The link to the following website is not working: https://www.hoka.com/ When I try this link in another browser (ie. Chrome) it works. Why is it not working on Firefox? Thanks David

On the just-eat website after I sign in, I select the provider bur cannot select an item or pay for iit. I have to use a different browser to select items then pay for them.Done that for a while now . Just a build bug until next but carried over.

Site page that I have used for years is not loading. Keep getting this error message.

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.hamdata.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

The site is www.hamdata.com How do I fix this?

Thanks Jim [removed email from public]

Hi there,

for ages, I was slightly annoyed by not being able to choose audio output for video conferencing in my browser favourite, Firefox. I think it is time to move this to more prominence as it is solved for ages and exists as experimental feature: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=934425 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1294381

Toggle"hidden" config parameter media.setsinkid.enabled to true (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Experimental_features#apis) to enable it.

Could you find good places to share this? My impression is that this default is a huge UX disadvantage of firefox vs. chrome at the moment.

Best, Baltasar

Every week, for work, I need to download at least one large video file from Microsoft OneDrive and then upload it to YouTube. (These are MP4s in the range of 200 - 800 MB.) For the last couple of months, maybe longer, the download keeps failing in Firefox. When I switch to Chrome, the same MP4 downloads with no problem.

Any idea what might be going on? Usually the file starts downloading just fine; I see the bar gradually filling up in the notification area, but then it suddenly stops and says "Failed." If I retry, the same thing just happens again.

I'm not using any kind of download manager (that I'm aware of), just relying on Firefox's default download behavior when I click on the "Download" link on the OneDrive web page (sample URL: https://olucdenver-my.sharepoint.com/personal/YADA_YADA/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx?id=LONG_QUERY_STRING_HERE).

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I changed my home page by mistake. It was yahoo.com. Now it is "Sponsored Search by Quick Forms." How do I get rid of it?

Since a couple of months I've noticed that my firefox has become veeeeer slow, and takes a lot of time to download facebook content, specially images. The page stalls forever and shows some empty areas with a small description like: "must be an image with people", but the content never loads, ant takes forever to navigate face book.

Any other browser works flawlessly and has no problems at all. The only one that cannot handle facebook is Firefox.

There's a way to solve this issue?

Every time firefox pushes to update my browser when I finally do it causes my browser to crash repeatedly. I can not do anything online. It's frustrating beyond words. how can I delete the update and go back to when my browser was working right. Or how do you make it stop CRASHING??????!!!!!!!

With Firefox I am experiencing two problems since I have the option "Always use private browsing mode" enabled:

1. Firefox no longer loads the website "ello.co".
   To my knowledge there is no reason to do so.

2. Some websites  are not fully loaded at once.
    Only after pressing the button "refresh the current page" one or more times will
    the page will load.

When I disable the option "Always use private browsing mode", the website "ello.co" loads properly. What could be going on here?

On my computer I have Firefox version 99.0.1 (64 bits) Windows version 21H2 build 19044.1645

I can access all the usual websites I visit, but not my own website: "zoomselling.com." However, I can access it on my cell phone and the website folks checked and tell me my website is working fine. I was able to access the website using 'duckduckgo' but only after I verified I wasn't a bot. I think there's some security issue that is causing the firefox browser problems with the website.

hi. im using firefox on my windows pc. after login to firefox account and start syncing,all bookmarks,add-ons,settings will be synced normally, expect passwords! no other devices or sessions is currently activated,just one pc. i tested firefox latest version and ESR too,same result. finally exported my passwords from chrome and imported as CVS file to firefox. but every time i login and sync firefox account again,password not be synced!

Hi,

I want to setup a number of addons via command line on a completely fresh Firefox ESR installation on Linux (i.e. while Firefox hasn't been opened yet for the first time by the user). To do this, I first need a default profile directory, but the .mozilla folder is missing from the home path when I install Firefox (it is only created when I run the browser for the first time).

So I tried to create a profile immediately after installing FF:

firefox -createprofile default-esr

This creates the .mozilla folder containing a XXXXXXXX.default-esr directory and the profiles.ini file with the following contents:

[Profile0] Name=default-esr IsRelative=1 Path=XXXXXXXX.default-esr

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

However when I run FF for the first time later on, it completely skips this profile and instead generates a new default one, YYYYYYYY.default-esr-1, and profiles.ini is edited with the following contents:

[Profile1] Name=default-esr-1 IsRelative=1 Path=YYYYYYYY.default-esr-1

[Profile0] Name=default-esr IsRelative=1 Path=XXXXXXXX.default-esr Default=1

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

[Install3B6073811A6ABF12] Default=YYYYYYYY.default-esr-1 Locked=1

I can revert to the profile that I explicitly created by going to about:profiles and setting it again as the default, but this defeats the purpose because I want to prepare my profile via the command line without having to open FF to change a setting. Is this possible?

I was on a website last night to pay property taxes and the check box won't click. had to switch to safari. Had issues with tax act with the same similar problems. firefox 99.0.1 OS 10.13.6

Firefox recently stopped working. I tried uninstall/reinstall, removal (name change) of AppData\local\Mozilla, local low and remote folders before installing. All the same result that when I click Firefox, the cursor will start to flicker, the program shows in the task manager but never starts. When the AppData folders were removed, new ones were not created.

The only to changes were that I was given temporary admin privilages on Avecto Privilage Guard and I installed Visual Studio 2022 - removed 2019 as well.
