Forum d’assistance Firefox

I am suddenly getting a message, "access denied to this server". It does not happen using a different browser. This just started happening. Any advice appreciated! Thanks

Hi, I'm using Firefox 107.0 on a Mac O/s Monterey 12.6.1. I'm trying to log in to Virginmedia web site and I'm being informed that my password is invalid. However, when logging in using Safari, I'm able to log in fine. I've cleared all cookies for the web site and still no joy. I am also unable to login using the Mail client for the same reasons. Any suggestions please?

I need a: archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

WHY?: I use the "Firefox program" itself, as a "High Level Logic Function" (i.e. a TOOL!).

THIS IS HOW: I may be researching up to 50/100, subjects/topics/interests, concurrently!

I use one Firefox window per subject. Each of the "Subject Windows", may contain 20 to 50 tabs, that are relevant to the subject being queried, until subject has been answered/resolved/placated.

PROGRAM DESIGN (software specification ... chortle!):

1) Each archived "window of tabs", would l can given A subject name, and appear in a list archived windows, to be restored, deleted, update/changed (with tab changes), shared with collages, coworker, even sent in a email!!

2) Your "History" function already has a last closed windows, last closed tabs, SO IT SHOULD NOT TAKE GREAT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EFFORT ...

3) "Buckle your shoe ..."

PERKS: Besides may my insignificant needs, a "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function", would let foxfire execute normally, with out bogging the whole Microsoft operation system down to a crawl, or "go catatonic"!

Of course, this not fault of Firefox! Fox example, I just installed "Windows 11 Pro". When I looked under the hood, I found that NONE of the window error reporting systems could log data, because, the "Windows 11 Pro" operating system, is unable the find "C:\",the only drive in my laptop.

Left hand ... Right hand ... the list of atrocities when on! I just had a new desktop folder, "Microsoft's Hospital for the Criminally INSANE", and dump'd the "bad news" there.

Some other related, Firefox execution problems:

WHEN I HAVE 20ish windows open, with 1, 10, 20, tabs per window, the system crashes, like clock work!!

Further I constantly it the "Firefox  ---- is not responding" frozen window announcement!

Concurrently, everything is also semi-frozen too.

I summary, PLEASE made the "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function" a reality!!!

If you will, I will come up with a name for the function, that intuitive, yet is catchy, that it will shine like a small jewel in the Firefox panoply ...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,

P.S I want NOTHING for the idea, only the joy on using it! Later tonight, I will be installing a new printer with it's device drivers, and application programs.

AT WITCH POINT, WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FIREFOX,

 AND LOOSE 25 PLUS OPEN "FIREFOX WINDOWS",  
WITH 100'S OF  RESEARCH DATUM TABS!!!
ABOUT 6,TO 8  MONTHS OF WORK ..

And yeah, there have always been the bookmark systems, going back to the "Hyper Links" in DOS (which sooner, or later, GRENADE'D the hard drive).

Bookmarks are for warehouse, basement archive,

But the: "Firefox data amphitheater";

             "Firefox data auditorium"; 

              archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

            "FIREFOX WINDOWS""Subject Windows" ...
           What ever you name it
           It is the easiest, direct way of researching multiple subjects, concurrently, and in your face instantly ..

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

Why isn't the Restore Previous Session choice available on the Open Application Menu? Even if I click the checkbox under Tools/Settings/General/Startup: Open Previous Windows and Tabs (version 107/windows 11), I am presented with a tabula rasa screen on reopening my Firefox session. Your help/support says to go to the Open Application Menu/History and choose Restore Previous Session (located between Recently Closed Windows and Clear Recent History). However the Restore Previous Session is not listed. Not sure why Firefox can't get this right since you have had it right for the almost 20 years I have chosen it as my default browser.

Okay, so 5 months ago, I cleaned up my bookmarks. I had a ton, but now looking back, there were some that I really would've liked to keep. So I'm would like to know if there would be a way to restore deleted bookmarks from that long ago.

Iam using Windows 7 on my Laptop and I have constant flickering on the screen. There seems to be many users who have complained about this. Why is Firefox not taking any steps to solve the problem?

Firefox don't wait for someone in the community to solve this. Please depute your engineers and address this issue

Using Sky/Yahoo mail it keeps saying "No internet or its off line" but is OK on Google Chrome. Firefox is up to date and I have been using it for many years. Problem started about at least 6 updates ago.

I am blocked from my account on PJMedia. PJ says the problem seems to be with Firefox since I can get in using Chrome. This is the message the mail system returns: Undeliverable: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Mail Delivery Subsystem <mailer-daemon@googlemail.com> You Message blocked Your message to pjmediavip@townhallmedia.com has been blocked. See technical details below for more information. The response was:

Message bounced due to organizational settings.

Any suggestions? PJ seems unable to resolve the issue.

Ever since I loaded version yesterday Firefox periodically crashes when undertaking normal functions. For example I will load a set of tabs that i have been loading for years and now doing so causes a crash. Worse still of the 8 to 10 crashes I have experienced in the last 24 hours only 2 are recorded on the "about:crashes" feature and one of those fails when you attempt to submit it.

Now this has only started hapening since I upgraded to version 107. It is clearly somerthing to do with that update and the only further thing I can think to do is a full reboot in case some rogue process is interfering with the new version.

NB Please note I'm not interested in excuses about add-ons and the rest being the problem. it was this update that has destabilised my browser. Your Update. Your problem. Own it.

I have 3 PCs with Firefox. The bookmarks and bookmarks toolbars were all synced but one machine required re-installation, and now I have a fresh Firefox and have forgotten how to import the bookmarks and bookmarks toolbars. I don't seem to have any password for Firefox sync and I can't find where and how to import the bookmarks. Can anyone help?

Hello, We are developing an extension which is built on manifest v3. Right now in the firefox MV3 is not available by default and user has to enable it manually. I wanted to understand the timeline for the MV3 release. So that we can decide to support MV2 or not in our extension

Hi, My 2019 16" MacPro crashed when I downloaded the new Ventura OS. Only fix, per Apple, was to wipe the disk clean and reload the OS (Ventura 13.0.1). I reloaded and I lost my Firefoz and all the bookmarks I had. I need to retrieve them. How do I do that?

I'm on Windows 10 Pro using Firefox 107. As soon as I open Firefox it opens and audio stream (I see Firefox show up in the volume mixer). I don't think that is supposed to happen, there is no audio to play I have not even browsed to any website yet. My home page is Firefox default homepage (so no audio there).

I have tried troubleshooting it: opening only a troubleshooting instance of Firefox (nothing else) but again I see the audio stream opening (so that rules out the add-ons right?) I've created a new profile in about:profiles and opened only a Firefox instance on this new profile but again the audio stream opens as soon as Firefox opens.

I have not recently updated my drivers. In the past this did not happen.

Because of this, my laptop never goes to sleep and the battery runs out if I have any instance of Firefox opened.

How can I fix Firefox so it only opens an audio stream when there is audio?

Recently I have had difficulty completing online purchases. Specifically a purchase from Equifund, an investing company. I was using the Firefox browser, which I like, and I could not connect Equifund to my bank account nor get it to sign off with my credit card. They recommended Google Chrome and I had no problem. The same has happened with other purchases. Can you help solve this problem? Thank you! Victor McLaughlin
